How to make a Generator at Home ???

Lesson to put electricity to work. Just a simple wind powered generator you can make with spare wire from an electric motor. This is  intended this to be just a prototype for a much larger unit you would like to build. The magnet rotor is separate for the coils to make repairs or upgrades easier. This unit is not intended for high speed winds. When you pass a magnet by a wire it should generate electricity. That is what we are going to try to prove here. Furthermore we can use wind energy to do all the work.

You Will Need :

• 12 small round magnets
• 6 beefy diodes
• 1/2 inch pvc pipe
• Lots of magnet or motor wire
• Poster board
• Glue
• Tape
• Jig to wrap coils

Tools:

• Cheap Dollar store magnetic compass.
• Voltmeter
• A diagram of the generator to be made.
• Drawing Compass
• Plastic knife
• 12 inch ruler

Process :

Each student is to take the materials and then put together a wind generator. They will need to use a bit of geometry to make the plates. By testing the coils with a compass they can see how magnetism works.  They will also see the force of wind can be put to work. They will get some experience at putting a project together as an engineer might do with a prototype. Lastly see the unit they have built create electricity. For younger students the soil and magnet platform could be pre-made.

Each coil is about 1 1/2 inches, so I need a circle at least 12 *1 1/2 round or 18 inches.
You can not easily draw a circle of 18 inches.
Circumference is 2 Pi r or the radius is 18 / ( 2 * 3.14) or about 3 inches.
You can draw a circle with a compass set at 3 inches.
Now to place the magnets and coils we need to know where to place them.
A circle = 360 degrees. 360 degrees / 12 magnets = 30 degrees per magnet.
You will need to draw 6 diameters to get the points where to place them.

Now make a second board the same way.

I recommend only doing one or two at a time or you will never get the magnets to set. Drop a little glue on a couple of points on the board. Add a magnet so that the center of the magnet is on the circle or half way in or out of the circle so to speak (n-s n-s n-s etc order). Once you have those magnets glued down and dried, add the rest of the magnets a couple at a time till you get them all done.

Cut a half inch or so of 1/2 inch pvc pipe. insert that into the wiring jig, bend the end of the wire that you will hold on to till the wire is wrapped. Caution: you must wrap all the coils in the same direction or your generator either will not work or perform not at it's best.  Place the coils with the wire all going in the same direction around the circle like you did the magnets.
Note: you can add a battery to the coll and see how the compass reacts to the coil make sure all the coils are in the same direction.  You may have to scrape off of the enameled ends to get a good contact with the battery.
Secure the coils to the base.

We will have 3 sets of wire for 3 phase or three outputs from 4 coils each. by doing this the power pulses will be segregated and the power output will be more even. Three of the lines will be tied (soldered) together and the opposite lines will go into the diode

Though the signal should all be dc, you could add a bridge to make sure. You also need to regulate the voltage, especially if you are recharging a battery. .

coils > diodes > voltage regulator > fuse and switch > item to be powered

We sill use 4 cups made of Styrofoam to keep the weight down.  You will want to cut a window on one side of the cup. Do not cut all the way to the bottom or all the way to the top. That way they will be easier to attach and have a totally stronger frame.

Note You could add a second level with 4 more cups at a 45 degree angle from the lower level cups.

Glue the two cup levels together making sure the long bolt will fit thought them easily.First level and second level should be if forty-five degree off so the wind will catch all the cups at different times.  Let dry.
Put the long bolt through the unit and attach to the frame.

How to make hot ice..

All you need are two common kitchen ingredients to make hot ice - a non-toxic chemical that crystallizes when you touch it into a material that looks like ice except it gives off heat. See how to make hot ice and get ideas for fun hot ice activities.

You Will Need :

• White Vinegar
• Backing Soda

Process :

          Mix one liter of vinegar with 4 tablespoons of baking soda. These chemicals react to form nontoxic sodium acetate or hot ice in water. You need to boil off most of the water, so heat the solution until it is boiling and keep applying low heat until you see a crystal skin start to form on the surface of the liquid. Remove the hot ice solution from heat, pour it into a new container and refrigerate the solution until it is chilled.

          When the hot ice has cooled, you can get it to instantly crystallize simply by touching it. You can try crystallizing the hot ice as you pour it, too. Either way, the solution will give off heat as it crystallizes.

          You can re-dissolve and reheat the hot ice to play with it again or you can throw it away when you are finished. 

          I hope you've enjoyed making hot ice.

How to make a Small Wind Powered Generator at home ?

In this i will show you how to make a wind generator that produces electricity! I will only walk you through making the generator but it is up to you to figure out what you want to do with the electricity it produces! i havent gotten that far yet but i am planning on making a charge circuit so follow me if you want to see the outcome of that in the near future :) ok lets get started. first off id like to say that The amount of electricty it generates depends on what kind of steper motor you used.

Types :

• Horizontal Wings
• Vertical Wings

Horizontal Wings :

You Will Need :

• Soldering Iron
• Wire Strippers
• Empty Bottles (2 liter)
• Bottle Caps
• Magic Joining Gum
• Super Glue
• Thin Light Pieces of Metal
• Stepper Motor

Process :

In this part you will be making the wind catchers, its the part that catches the wind and turns the motor. first cut the tops off 8 pop bottles like so. I cut where the lable ended and i later painted them red (that part is optional). once you have 8 all cut off move on to the next step.

I like to call this part the coupler because to connects two pop bottle tops, alls you do is simple use magic joining gum to combine pop bottle caps together. combine two caps back by back like this, in the end you will have four pop bottle couplers. for added security i wrapped electrical tape around each set.

This step is fairly easy all you do is make an X shape using two pieces of thin light metal (about a foot and a half long  and one inch wide) then after that part is done you secure the couplers at the end using epoxy. I havent figured out what to call this piece so for now the "fan part" will have to do. let the epoxy harden then move on. 

This step is very easy, alls you do is screw the pop bottle tops into the couplers. 

After the "fan part" is completed you have to attach the stepper motor to it. what i did was i combined the two using magic joining gum and secured the edges with hot glue. 

After the stepper motor is attached you have to make a stand for it. the way you make your stand is based on how your motor works, i had to make mine in a weird way due to the way the motor works but the stand is fairly easy, i used a piece of wood (close to a 2x4) and a rectangle piece of wood as the base. after the stand is done you have to attach the fan part with the motor to the stand, to do that you simply use epoxy to combine the two. as i said my motor is weird so i had to add a piece of wood and drill a hole through it and let the motor rest through there and i used epoxy to secure it. after all that is done and all the magic joining gum has set go out on a windy day and test the output with a multimeter, I would recommend testing your motor before you start this just to get an idea of how much power it outputs. 

This is as far as i will take you, it is up to you to figure out what you want to power with the electricity. I will be making a circuit for it real soon so if you would like to see that just follow me other than that the wind generator is complete! :) please vote for me if you liked this project i would really appreciate it :) also i will be adding small solar powered motors to help spin the generator but again that will happen in the near future so subscribe to see that add on aswell. please if you have any questions or comments just post them or message me.

How to make a Cheapy Lighter Laser Burner ???

Here is the world's first BIC style laser lighter! Butane is outdated. Time to use blue burning lasers!

WARNING: This kind of laser can cause permanent damage to eyesight in less than a second. NEVER look into the beam or reflection of ANY laser including this one.

You Will Need :

• BIC lighter (Non Electric)
• Blue Laser diode and mini-housing
• Mini-driver circuit
• 1.5V button cell batteries
• Mini Momentary switch
• 4 to 4.3 ohm resistor
• Small magnets
• Assorted wire

Tools :

• Dremel cutoff wheel and small Grinding Stone or a similar tool.
• Needle nose pliers, small screwdrivers, snips, X-acto knife.
• A small pin or paper clip
• Soldering iron and solder
• Heatshrink tubing
• Small drill bits
• Multi-meter

Process :

Disclaimer for those that don't know lighters are 'dangerous': Lighters contain butane, a flammable liquid that can catch fire, explode, burn you or your cat. And, lasers are also dangerous. Don't ever point any laser at yourself or any living thing.

Remove the flint wheel by prying it out at the edges. DO NOT BREAK THE BRACKETS. Once you release it a spring and flint (and other small stuff) will pop out and fly across the room. Go get them. Keep the flint wheel. Remove the shiny shield by prying it out at the edges. DO NOT BREAK THE BRACKETS. Keep it. Flip the lighter over and take it to a safe place. Putting on safety glasses never hurts. Stick a small pin or paper clip in the hole and it should contact the metal valve in the base of the lighter. Gently tap it with something to release the butane. You may need to tip it over to make sure all the butane is gone. You should hear something small rattling inside. That's the valve. Remove the red button that releases the butane. Keep it.

The entire inside of the lighter needs to be gutted out. There are probably many ways this could be done but I found the best is as follows:

Using a Dremel cutting wheel, make two small slits in the white cover on the bottom of the lighter. Careful not to nick up or cut the housing or it will look crappy. Use snips, pliers, X-Acto or whatever you need to remove most of the plastic on the white cover. (The cover is sonically welded to the housing so it cannot just be pulled out.). Use a sanding tool or dremel attachment to completely remove all of the white base from the housing. This is time consuming if you want to do it right. Remove all of the inside of the housing as far into the lighter as you can to make room for the mini-diode housing. This is a painstaking process and you may have to resort to burning the plastic away with your soldering iron. Don't inhale the smoke or get it in our eyes. Burning plastic is no fun.

There are two main holes at the top of the lighter. 

One is the where the red button you removed earlier makes contact with a valve to release the butane and on the other side where the flame exits. 

Both of these holes need to be drilled out to accommodate the switch and the mini-diode housing. Use drill bits and CAREFULLY drill the holes out. (A small bit will be needed to drill out the little valve.) Don't worry about the center area where there is another hole. Stay away from the brackets in the middle because you will need those to reattach the red button later.

NOTE: This requires an experienced solderer and a real good soldering iron with small tip

Wire the driver according to the following picture. The second picture is the flip side of the driver.
Be sure to add the resistor and the switch as show in the the final wiring pic.

Using a multimeter set to check milliamps, put the leads between the end of the resistor and the diode. Power it with no more than 3 volts and adjust the pot on the driver to no more than 170 mA. I used 2 button cells, taped together on the sides, harvested from an Energizer 12V 123 battery I also used two small magnets to attach the (+) positive and (-) negative leads from driver.

After confirming that everything is wired correctly, it's time to put everything inside the lighter housing. The diode goes on the former flame side and the switch is pushed in to the side where the red button switch was (See the next step for details). I used hot glue to secure the switch and diode after lining up the diode so the beam cleared all areas of the housing.

Cut the original red button in half leaving just the two small tabs that are secured in the housing holes.
You will have to play around with the exact height of the switch in relation to to the red button. Re attach the flame shield. After I shot the video I found a small rubber stopper and cut it in half, then pushed it inside the base of the lighter to make sure the driver and batteries stayed put. .

Your Cheapy Laser Lighter Burner is complete!

Use responsibly! Lasers of all types should never be pointed at your self or any living thing. This kind of laser can cause permanent damage to eyesight in less than a second. NEVER look into the beam or reflection of ANY laser including this one.

Why Smokers Gain Weight When They Quit Smoking.

Most smokers put on a couple of kilos when they quit smoking. This is not due to an increased calorie intake, but to a change in the composition of the intestinal flora after quitting smoking,

When smokers wave goodbye to their cigarettes, eighty per cent of them put on seven kilos on average. Their weight increases even if their calorie intake remains the same or even falls compared to the level before quitting smoking. What is the reason for this weight gain?
Researchers working with Gerhard Rogler of Zurich University Hospital attribute the cause to a changed composition of the bacterial diversity in the intestine. As they recently showed in a study in PLoS One, the bacterial strains that also prevail in the intestinal flora of obese persons take the upper hand in people giving up smoking.
Comparison of stool samples.
Rogler and his colleagues of the Swiss IBD cohort study examined the genetic material of intestinal bacteria found in the faeces and studied stool samples which they had received from twenty different persons over a period of nine weeks -- four samples per person. The test persons included five non-smokers, five smokers and ten persons who had quit smoking one week after the start of the study.
While the bacterial diversity in the faeces of smokers and non-smokers changed only little over time, giving up smoking resulted in the biggest shift in the composition of the microbial inhabitants of the intestines. The Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes fractions increased at the expense of representatives of the Firmicutes and Actinobacteria phyla. At the same time, the test subjects who had quit smoking gained an average of 2.2 kilos in weight although their eating and drinking habits remained the same (with the exception that, towards the end of the study, they drank on average a little more alcohol than before quitting smoking).
More efficient utilisation.
Their results reflected those seen in previous studies conducted with mice, says Rogler. When other scientists transplanted the faeces of obese mice into the intestines of normal-weight mice some years ago, they saw that both the fractions of the Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes in the gut flora as well as the weight of the mice treated increased. The new gut flora apparently used the energy contained in the nutrition more efficiently.
Rogler and his colleagues assume that the same effect also manifests itself in their test subjects. The composition of the diverse bacteria in the intestinal flora, which changes after giving up smoking, probably provides the body with more energy, resulting in new non-smokers gaining weight.
Swiss IBD cohort study.
With the aim of gaining a better understanding of inflammatory bow-el diseases or IBD, specialist hospitals, private practice physicians and university institutions have come together to pool their knowledge. They are collecting the medical data of now nearly 2,000 affected persons who are participating in this long-term study.

Poverty Reduces Brainpower Needed for Navigating Other Areas of Life.

• Poverty and all its related concerns require so much mental energy that the poor have less remaining brainpower to devote to other areas of life.

 The researchers suggest that being poor may keep a person from concentrating on the very avenues that would lead them out of poverty. A person's cognitive function is diminished by the constant and all-consuming effort of coping with the immediate effects of having little money, such as scrounging to pay bills and cut costs. Thusly, a person is left with fewer "mental resources" to focus on complicated, indirectly related matters such as education, job training and even managing their time.
In a series of experiments, the researchers found that pressing financial concerns had an immediate impact on the ability of low-income individuals to perform on common cognitive and logic tests. On average, a person preoccupied with money problems exhibited a drop in cognitive function similar to a 13-point dip in IQ, or the loss of an entire night's sleep.

But when their concerns were benign, low-income individuals performed competently, at a similar level to people who were well off, said corresponding author Jiaying Zhao, who conducted the study as a doctoral student in the lab of co-author Eldar Shafir, Princeton's William Stewart Tod Professor of Psychology and Public Affairs. Zhao and Shafir worked with Anandi Mani, an associate professor of economics at the University of Warwick in Britain, and Sendhil Mullainathan, a Harvard University economics professor.
"These pressures create a salient concern in the mind and draw mental resources to the problem itself. That means we are unable to focus on other things in life that need our attention," said Zhao, who is now an assistant professor of psychology at the University of British Columbia.

"Previous views of poverty have blamed poverty on personal failings, or an environment that is not conducive to success," she said. "We're arguing that the lack of financial resources itself can lead to impaired cognitive function. The very condition of not having enough can actually be a cause of poverty."
The mental tax that poverty can put on the brain is distinct from stress, Shafir explained. Stress is a person's response to various outside pressures that -- according to studies of arousal and performance -- can actually enhance a person's functioning, he said. In the Science study, Shafir and his colleagues instead describe an immediate rather than chronic preoccupation with limited resources that can be a detriment to unrelated yet still important tasks.

"Stress itself doesn't predict that people can't perform well -- they may do better up to a point," Shafir said. "A person in poverty might be at the high part of the performance curve when it comes to a specific task and, in fact, we show that they do well on the problem at hand. But they don't have leftover bandwidth to devote to other tasks. The poor are often highly effective at focusing on and dealing with pressing problems. It's the other tasks where they perform poorly."

The fallout of neglecting other areas of life may loom larger for a person just scraping by, Shafir said. Late fees tacked on to a forgotten rent payment, a job lost because of poor time-management -- these make a tight money situation worse. And as people get poorer, they tend to make difficult and often costly decisions that further perpetuate their hardship, Shafir said. He and Mullainathan were co-authors on a 2012 Science paper that reported a higher likelihood of poor people to engage in behaviors that reinforce the conditions of poverty, such as excessive borrowing.

"They can make the same mistakes, but the outcomes of errors are more dear," Shafir said. "So, if you live in poverty, you're more error prone and errors cost you more dearly -- it's hard to find a way out."
The first set of experiments took place in a New Jersey mall between 2010 and 2011 with roughly 400 subjects chosen at random. Their median annual income was around $70,000 and the lowest income was around $20,000. The researchers created scenarios wherein subjects had to ponder how they would solve financial problems, for example, whether they would handle a sudden car repair by paying in full, borrowing money or putting the repairs off. Participants were assigned either an "easy" or "hard" scenario in which the cost was low or high -- such as $150 or $1,500 for the car repair. While participants pondered these scenarios, they performed common fluid-intelligence and cognition tests.

Subjects were divided into a "poor" group and a "rich" group based on their income. The study showed that when the scenarios were easy -- the financial problems not too severe -- the poor and rich performed equally well on the cognitive tests. But when they thought about the hard scenarios, people at the lower end of the income scale performed significantly worse on both cognitive tests, while the rich participants were unfazed.
To better gauge the influence of poverty in natural contexts, between 2010 and 2011 the researchers also tested 464 sugarcane farmers in India who rely on the annual harvest for at least 60 percent of their income. Because sugarcane harvests occur once a year, these are farmers who find themselves rich after harvest and poor before it. Each farmer was given the same tests before and after the harvest, and performed better on both tests post-harvest compared to pre-harvest.
The cognitive effect of poverty the researchers found relates to the more general influence of "scarcity" on cognition, which is the larger focus of Shafir's research group. Scarcity in this case relates to any deficit -- be it in money, time, social ties or even calories -- that people experience in trying to meet their needs. Scarcity consumes "mental bandwidth" that would otherwise go to other concerns in life, Zhao said.
"These findings fit in with our story of how scarcity captures attention. It consumes your mental bandwidth," Zhao said. "Just asking a poor person to think about hypothetical financial problems reduces mental bandwidth. This is an acute, immediate impact, and has implications for scarcity of resources of any kind."
"We documented similar effects among people who are not otherwise poor, but on whom we imposed scarce resources," Shafir added. "It's not about being a poor person -- it's about living in poverty."
Many types of scarcity are temporary and often discretionary, said Shafir, who is co-author with Mullainathan of the book, "Scarcity: Why Having Too Little Means So Much," to be published in September. For instance, a person pressed for time can reschedule appointments, cancel something or even decide to take on less.

"When you're poor you can't say, 'I've had enough, I'm not going to be poor anymore.' Or, 'Forget it, I just won't give my kids dinner, or pay rent this month.' Poverty imposes a much stronger load that's not optional and in very many cases is long lasting," Shafir said. "It's not a choice you're making -- you're just reduced to few options. This is not something you see with many other types of scarcity."
The researchers suggest that services for the poor should accommodate the dominance that poverty has on a person's time and thinking. Such steps would include simpler aid forms and more guidance in receiving assistance, or training and educational programs structured to be more forgiving of unexpected absences, so that a person who has stumbled can more easily try again.
"You want to design a context that is more scarcity proof," said Shafir, noting that better-off people have access to regular support in their daily lives, be it a computer reminder, a personal assistant, a housecleaner or a babysitter.

"There's very little you can do with time to get more money, but a lot you can do with money to get more time," Shafir said. "The poor, who our research suggests are bound to make more mistakes and pay more dearly for errors, inhabit contexts often not designed to help

Scientists Discover Compound to Prevent Noise-Related Hearing Loss..

Your mother was right when she warned you that loud music could damage your hearing, but now scientists have discovered exactly what gets damaged and how.

Noise-induced hearing loss, with accompanying tinnitus and sound hypersensitivity is a common condition which leads to communication problems and social isolation," said Xiaorui Shi, M.D., Ph.D., study author from the Department of Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery at the Oregon Hearing Research Center at Oregon Health and Science University in Portland, Oregon. "The goal of our study is to understand the molecular mechanisms well enough to mitigate damage from exposure to loud sound."
To make this discovery, Shi and colleagues used three groups of 6 -- 8 week old mice, which consisted of a control group, a group exposed to broadband noise at 120 decibels for three hours a day for two days, and a third group given single-dose injections of pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) prior to noise exposure. PEDF is a protein found in vertebrates that is currently being researched for the treatment of diseases like heart disease and cancer. The cells that secrete PEDF in control animals showed a characteristic branched morphology, with the cells arranging in a self-avoidance pattern which provided good coverage of the capillary wall. The morphology of the same cells in the animals exposed to wide-band noise, however, showed clear differences -- noise exposure caused changes in melanocytes located in the inner ear.
"Hearing loss over time robs people of their quality of life," said Gerald Weissmann, M.D., Editor-in-Chief of The FASEB Journal. "It's easy to say that we should avoid loud noises, but in reality, this is not always possible. Front-line soldiers or first responders do not have time to worry about the long-term effects of loud noise when they are giving their all. If, however, a drug could be developed to minimize the negative effects of loud noises, it would benefit one and all."

Nova Delphini 2013 Confirmed

A new star explosion, called a nova, has flared up in the night sky, and it is fairly easy to spot with binoculars — and potentially even the naked eye — by stargazers with clear weather and dark skies. You can even see the new nova online tonight in a skywatching webcast.
Called Nova Dephinus 2013, the new nova (Latin for "new star") was discovered Wednesday (Aug. 14) by amateur astronomer Koichi Itagaki of Yamagata, Japan, at 2 p.m. EDT (1800 GMT) in the constellation Delphinus, the Dolphin. Itagaki used a CCD camera attached to a 7-inch reflecting telescope. A nova is a powerful eruption from star, but is not as strong as a supernova, which is a catastrophic explosion that signals the death of a star.

Earth Life Likely Came from Mars..

• We may all be Martians..
  

Evidence is building that Earth life originated on Mars and was brought to this planet aboard a meteorite, said biochemist Steven Benner of The Westheimer Institute for Science and Technology in Florida.
An oxidized form of the element molybdenum, which may have been crucial to the origin of life, was likely available on the Red Planet's surface long ago, but unavailable on Earth, said Benner, who presented his findings today (Aug. 28; Aug. 29 local time) at the annual Goldschmidt geochemistry conference in Florence, Italy.

5 WAYS TO BEAT CANCER

Today more and more individuals are diagnosed with some type of cancer. But aren’t we all programmed to think: “This could never happen to me.” And yet it does. Yes, it can happen to you. And between you, your partner and you best friend, one of you may get it. So what exactly is going on in the world? Cancer is a relatively new disease and cause of death in the history of mankind.



The cancer institute online is dedicated simply to cancer statistics and occurances. Their rates between 2007 and 2009 extrapolate that over 40% of all men and women today will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. That is almost 50%!

First, what exactly is cancer?

The body is made up of trillions of cells. The cells grow, divide and die in an orderly fashion. It’s a tightly controlled process. Cancer, on the other hand, is a disease caused by an uncontrolled division of abnormal cells in a part of the body. It can happen anywhere in the body – lungs, bones, breasts, etc.




Here is an interesting fact: Cancerous cells cannot survive in an oxygenated environment.

Lets flip this around. It means that a low cellular oxygenation level in newly-formed cells are actually going to turn cancerous. In 1931 Dr. Warburg won his first Nobel Prize for proving cancer is caused by a lack of oxygen respiration in cells. He stated in an article titled The Prime Cause and Prevention of Cancer that “the cause of cancer is no longer a mystery, we know it occurs whenever any cell is denied 60% of its oxygen requirements.”

This is the prime cause of cancer.

Of course there are secondary causes of cancer but lack of oxygen seems to be the #1. He then goes on to elaborate that “the prime cause of cancer is the replacement of the respiration of oxygen in normal body cells by a fermentation of sugar. All normal body cells meet their energy needs by respiration of oxygen, whereas cancer cells meet their energy needs in great part by fermentation.”

In summary, this means that cancerous cells are anaerobes (without oxygen) and healthy cells are aerobes (with oxygen).

What reduces oxygen levels in cells?
Buildup of cellular toxicity which then damages the cellular oxygen respiration mechanism within cells.
Poor blood flow in the form of red blood cells clumping which slows down the bloodstream and restricts flow into capillaries.
Lack of proper building blocks for cell walls that don’t allow nutrients into the cells.
An acidic environment in the body.

Some people use chemo and radiation therapy to kill cancer. However, they also cause damage to healthy cells and overload them with toxins, which in turn leads to the result of cancer in normal cells! And you may have heard, cancer usually returns more than once to people unless they have made changes in their lives!

So, What are 5 Ways You Can Decrease Yours Odds of Getting Cancer!?

1. Detoxify your body (decrease cellular toxicity and increase oxygenation to cells)

Eliminating environmental toxins from your diet (by eating organically grown foods and avoiding chlorinated/fluoridated water) and your surroundings (by using non-toxic, natural cleansers, cosmetics, furniture, building materials, and clothing) will go a long way toward eliminating cancer from your life. There are a variety of ways to detox your body via water fasts, juice feasts (where you drink only fruit and vegetable juices for a set number of days), and full-on detoxification programs.

2. Exercise (increase blood flow)

One cause of poor oxygenation is poor circulation. If cells are oxygen starved they are more likely to become cancerous. So, when one exercises and increases circulation, oxygenation improves and more nutrients will be carried into the cells.

3. Proper eating habits (to create proper building blocks for cell walls)

Diet is a crucial weapon in your cancer-fighting arsenal. You should eat organic whole foods whenever possible to reduce toxins. Increase your intake of essential fatty acids from organic cold-pressed flax oil or fish oil.

Cancer thrives on sugar and refined grains. Cut them out as much as possible, and don’t use artificial sweeteners as they are not healthy. Recently, new healthy sweeteners such as stevia, xylitol, and Laknato have become widely available.

4. Eat mainly alkaline foods

Foods that are acidic to the body consist of: meats, poultry, fish, dairy products, eggs, junk food, soda, alcohol, coffee, grains, and cereals. These foods you want to minimize in your diet. Alkaline foods, on the other hand, consist mainly of fruits and vegetables. A good percentage to aim for is 75% alkaline foods and 25% acidic foods. This may be challenging in the beginning because many people’s diets are the exact opposite. Once this becomes a bit more natural, a general guideline to shoot for is: 45% cooked fruits and vegetables, 30% RAW fruits and vegetables and 25% grains, nuts, seeds, meat, fish, or poultry.
There have, in addition, been research that shows the benefits of a 100% raw food diet in the treatment of cancer. The Gerson institute in San Diego, California provides an alternative to treating cancer. The Gerson Therapy is a natural treatment that activates the body’s extraordinary ability to heal itself through an organic, vegetarian diet, raw juices, coffee enemas and natural supplements. Over the past 60 years thousands of people have been cured of ‘incurable diseases’ including: cancer, diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, and auto-immune disorders. Talk about food as medicine!




5. Support your body’s ability to use oxygen to make energy

A nutrient vital in the production of energy in a cell is CoEnzymeQ10. If a cell doesn’t have CoQ10, it can’t produce energy. Also, research shows that (high-quality) Omega-6 oils increase oxygen transfer into cells.

Remember, the more ways you attack cancer, the better your chances are of beating it. The best alternative cancer clinics in the world use multiple supplements and holistic treatments. They don’t do just one thing. If possible, do the same yourself.

Cancer can be beaten. Never doubt that. People succeed all the time. The best way to beat cancer, though? PREVENT it!
