  • to change your diet
  • for weight loss

  • WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CANCER CELLS:

  • Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful etc. are made with Aspartame, which is very harmful. A better natural substitute is Stevia. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in color. A better alternative is Bragg's aminos, sea salt, or the product "no salt".
  • Cancer cells love dairy. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soya milk, cancer cells starve.
  • Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.
  • A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts)and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).
  • Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have a high caffeine content. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties. It is best to drink purified, or filtered water, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, and should be avoided.

    PROSTATE CANCER

    4 years ago, at the age of 50, I was diagnosed with stage 7 prostate cancer. Thankfully, my doctor told me that there is no need to panic as cancer cells in the prostate are very common. Rather than risking surgery I chose the path of “Watchful Waiting” and began to address all possible causes for the existence of these cancer cells. I changed my diet, for example cutting out red meat, dairy and caffeine, and I also changed my entire life style completely. That is where Angelika came in. I learnt self-hypnosis from her and how to turn a very stressful and unhealthy life into an active healthy life-style. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit and the prostate cancer prompted me to take a critical look at some old limiting beliefs I had about myself, my masculinity and about life in general. With the help of the techniques Angelika has I was able to really change the way I think and feel. Today, I can say I am truly grateful for this wake up call that resulted in many positive changes I made in my life, and opened the door to meeting my new life partner.

    BREAST CANCER

    When I first came to Angelika my plan was to send one of my daughters for hypnosis. Within that first introductory talk, however, Angelika proved to be very observant, pointing out a few areas in which I could improve my beliefs and make positive changes for my entire family. One of the issues that had really taken a toll on all of us was me going through breast cancer and a mastectomy. I was full of anger and rage that this had happened to me, felt assaulted and completely out of control. Worst of all there was this always lingering fear that the cancer could return at any time. Angelika helped me to heal on all levels. She was gentle, compassionate, yet firm and able to hold the belief for me that I still am an attractive desirable woman until I was ready to feel this myself. Learning from her about energy and how our thoughts and words affect our healing made a big difference for me. Step by step, I was able to release all the anger and fear, forgive myself and all other people involved and find peace in what is. The issue one of my daughters had disappeared on its own once she did not need to mirror my anger anymore. I am today able to be a confident and proud role model for both my two daughters.
