Recipe extracted from Cancer Project
From yummy pancakes to sandwiches – who says you can’t enjoy a salad sandwich without eggs and mayo?

I know that many may have commented too much soy or tofu bloats your stomach with gas, but it depends how you take it. With this recipe of balance food, I am sure that cancer surviving patients, lactose intolerant individuals, kids and vegetarians would manage to have a great feast!

Healthy Banana Oat Pancakes Recipe

March 27th 2008 01:19
I found this neat recipe from the Cancer Project site, and banana is always one of my favourite fruits. I am sure anyone out there would love it as well.

These satisfying pancakes contain generous amounts of heart-healthy oats. They are delicious when served with fresh orange slices or other fruit, or a bit of real maple syrup. You can purchase oat flour at natural food stores and in some supermarkets, or you can make your own by grinding rolled oats in a food processor or blender.

Happy cooking!


Banana Oat Pancakes (10 pieces)

1 cup oat flour
1/4 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 ripe banana, mashed (about 1/2 cup)
1 cup soy- or other non dairy milk
1 1/2 teaspoons vinegar
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

In a small mixing bowl, combine flours, baking soda, and salt. Stir to mix.

In a larger mixing bowl, combine banana, non dairy milk, vinegar, syrup, and walnuts, if using. Mix thoroughly. Add the flour mixture and stir just enough to mix.

Heat a large non-stick skillet. Pour small amounts of batter onto skillet and cook until tops bubble and edges are dry. Flip and cook second side until golden brown, about 1 minute. Serve immediately.

Basic list about cancer: Part 1

March 26th 2008 01:12
I've received this article from a good friend yesterday and I believe this has been circulating around the world for a while now. I have made the point to post it here just in case anyone hasn't taken notice of it.
I know I have been off from the articles lately (again) but sure enough that I will continue to do research and post useful health articles on this site.

AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY (TRY THE KEY WORD) AND ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHN HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY.

Breast Cancer Cell
Breast Cancer Cell

1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.

2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime.

3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.

4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to
genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors.

5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.

6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastro-intestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.

7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.

8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.

9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.

10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy.
Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.
