Brown rice and cancer
Traditionally, brown rice has been used to cure sick people in Japan.
Roast brown rice for long hours, and make porridge.
That has been considered the best medicine and the most effective for
any serious illnesses.
There was a documentary program on TV recently in Japan on how
cancer patients after being told by doctors that they would live only for
a few months, but survived healthy for years or even decades by simply
eating brown rice.
Recently, a group of medical doctors and scientists in Japan has
proven that brown rice DOES prevent and cure cancer after 30 years of
research.
Here is the digest of the research.
1 Our own immune system
Our body consists of 6 billion cells.
And thousands of “abnormal cells” are born and produced inside our
body every single day due to numerous cancer causing substances.
Such as chemicals, pollution, smoking, …. Even the sun!
But under healthy condition, those “abnormal cells” do not develop into
cancer.
Or even if cancer is developed, you could prevent it from growing or
even kill it with your own immune system.
2 Primal Immune System-- NK (natural killer) cells
It is primal immune system such as “natural killer (NK) cells” that first
recognize “abnormal cells” born inside your body.
And they attack those “abnormal cells”.
but NK does not distinguish between cancer cells and other abnormal
cells.
And NK cells are not so strong, so cancer cells can escape the attack.
Those “escaped” cells could grow into cancer.
Then comes the second, stronger immune system, such as Helper T
cells.
3 Acquired Immune System-- Helper T cells
Even if the primal immune system could not catch the cancer cells,
Macroperspective such as Macrophage captures those cells and
recognizes them as “cancer cells”, and send the information to helper T
cells.
It is th0 cell among HT that receives the information from macrophage,
and starts to develop into th1 and th2.
And only th1 can attack the cancer cells.
For th0 to grow into th1, it needs an active substance called Interleukin
12, which is released from Lymph Cells.
When Interleukin 12 is well released, HT cells are stimulated, and
become so strong that they can attack and kill cancer cells.
So the more interleukin is released, the stronger the immune system
becomes to attack and kill cancer cells.
4 Apoptosis ---natural death of cells
In a normal condition, about 10 billion cells are naturally dying—
apoptosis-- inside our body, and macrophage eats them, then they are
replaced by new cells.
What is unique about cancer cells are, they do not die on its own like
normal cells.
*there came the chemotherapy, attacks and kills those “not dying”
cancer cells.
The problem of chemotherapy is that it kills normal, healthy cells, too,
and overtime weakens the whole body system and even kills the person!
5 Cancer cells’ abnormal heat metabolism--sugar metabolism--
For cancer cells to survive and grow, they need abnormal amount of
energy (sugar) and release great amount of heat.
So it’s natural to think that if we can interfere and stop this metabolism,
we can prevent cancer!
6 glucan, a poly saccharide in brown rice
And it was found that glucan in brown rice turned the cancer cell’s
sugar metabolism into useless heat, and prevent their growth, which
leads to their apoptosis.
Glucan found in brown rice is proven to prevent cancer cells to grow by
70% in a study.
In Macrobiotic treatment of illnesses, people are advised to restrict
many foods, especially proteins (which feed cancer cells or other
viruses, bacteria) and oils --- not to mention refined foods or sugar!--,
and eat almost exclusively brown rice, and chew 200 times/mouth full.
There are so many people who not only prolong their lives but improve
their quality of life, and even became cancer free after following the
macrobiotic regimen.
and brown rice seems to play a very important role.
7 Build a healthy environment inside your body
Our 6 billion cells are built on what we eat.
Unhealthy diet creates unhealthy, dysfunctional cells, while healthy
eating builds healthy body.
They say that chemotherapy is like a pesticide.
Unless you change "the unhealthy environment", cancers pop up again
and again since your immune system is too weak to function properly.
It takes about 10 days to replace all the white cells, and 4 months to
change the red cells.
Eating macrobiotically for a long period of time could have a significant
influence on our well-being.
Eating whole, living food, in accordance of the order of nature, means
building an environment where cancers or other diseases cannot
survive or thrive.
We all have a power to heal.
Let's regain the power again by eating healthy!
