WARNING

NOT EVERYTHING THAT

CALLS ITSELF ORTHODOX IS

TRULY ORTHODOX


The above warning was given to me when I first met Orthodoxy in 1986. Today [2009] it is even more perilous, even more difficult to find the Royal Path. For one thing there is a far greater abundance of misinformation. And many materials are missing, and other materials are being rapidly rewritten. For another thing there are fewer than ever guides remaining on the Royal Path, especially who speak English. Hopefully this website will be a place where Newcomers to the Faith can keep at least one foot on solid ground, while they are "exploring."

Best Diet for Cancer Patients

According to Scientific Studies 



Best Diet for Cancer Patients  6 minutes

     https://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-best-diet-for-cancer-patients/


Our lifetime risk of developing an invasive cancer, not some superficial skin cancer or ductal carcinoma of the breast, but serious cancer, is about 40 percent. Two in five of us are going to get a cancer diagnosis in our lifetimes. What can we do to reduce our risk? Only about 5 percent of cancers are caused by problem genes we inherited from our parents. The other 95 percent are caused by mutations in our DNA we acquire in our lifetimes. For example, based on a genetic analysis of lung cancer, smokers may acquire an average of one DNA mutation for every 15 cigarettes smoked. Smoking is bad, but the number one cause of these mutations is our diet––and that’s not even including the cancers attributed to obesity.

I’ve got tons of videos on dietary approaches to prevent cancer. But what if you already have it? Well-meaning professionals sometimes counsel cancer patients to “Eat whatever you want.” Given the time constraints that doctors face, it may be understandable that the treating oncologist––the treating cancer doctor––may be reluctant to engage in a conversation about nutrition. But given the critical role that diet may play, perhaps it should be “a critical part of [their] job to be able to answer patients’ questions about nutrition before and after cancer treatment and not default to the unhelpful ‘it doesn’t really matter, eat what you want’ which may not be in the best interest of the patient.”

The official recommendation of the American Institute for Cancer Research, a leading authority on diet and cancer, is that those with cancer should follow the same diet that helps prevent cancer from taking root in the first place. That means more whole grains, vegetables, fruits, and beans, while limiting fast food, processed food, meat, soda, and alcohol. Similar recommendations have been put forth by other cancer authorities: more fruit, vegetables, whole grains, and beans, and less salt, sugar, meat, and alcohol.

Cancer survivors adhering to these guidelines do seem to live significantly longer––or at least older female cancer survivors, the only group in which it’s been looked at so far.

They add that that are certain foods that may be beneficial in cancer care including: beans, berries, cruciferous vegetables, flax seed, garlic, green tea, tomatoes, and others, but emphasize it’s not about a single magic bullet food or component, but the combination of foods in a predominantly plant-based diet.

Here’s how some popular diets used by cancer patients stack up. The so-called alkaline diet gets high marks for being vegetable-focused, and encouraging people to cut down on animal foods. The keto diet does the worst, though they get points for keeping people away from refined grains, alcohol, and soft drinks. Macrobiotic diets win the day, being closest to a whole food, plant-based diet, centered around whole grains, vegetables, and beans, though may not be advising enough fruit. Paleo diets are a mixed bag, with insufficient whole grains, beans, and too much meat. The vegan diet starts out strong, but doesn’t necessarily preclude all manner of vegan junk food. Have any of these diets been put to the test?

I’ve done a video Is Keto an Effective Cancer-Fighting Diet? on the abject failure of the keto diet. The alkaline diet was tried on eleven lung cancer patients. They lived an average of 28 and a half months, which is about 40 percent longer than most patients have historically lived, but there was no direct control group. The only diet proven in a randomized controlled trial to reverse the progression of cancer was Dr. Dean Ornish’s whole food plant-based lifestyle program, which I’ve covered before in my video How Not to Die from Cancer

Most randomized controlled trials to date on diet and cancer are like this: feasibility studies just to see if we can even get cancer patients to eat healthier, period. Otherwise, what’s the point of even running the study? In one study, researchers did find they could get patients with head and neck cancer to ramp up green leafy and cruciferous vegetable intake to nine cups a week. So, it’s at least something you could test. But we don’t yet have outcome data. But why wait? What’s the downside of trying to eat healthier? It may even save your life another way. 

Cardiovascular disease competes with breast cancer as the leading cause of death for older women diagnosed with breast cancer. Researchers followed more than 60,000 women diagnosed with breast cancer over the age of 65 for an average of nine years, by which time half had died. And the number one cause of death was actually cardiovascular disease, edging out the breast cancer. And so, choosing a healthy diet centered around whole plant foods––the only diet ever proven to reverse heart disease in the majority of patients––may save your life, whether you have cancer or not.

Other Reasons Behind Ukraine War

There is more to Ukraine War than we realize.

Kim Dotcom And Alex Jones Try To Stop Imminent Nuclear War


Wow, if you want a real quick synopsis of what's transpiring in the world today check this out:


https://x.com/RealAlexJones/status/1805319568983765169


Look for the video:


Kim Dotcom And Alex Jones Try To Stop Imminent Nuclear War

     Start watching at 1:02 mark to 16:20.


I'm not much on Alex Jones but when I saw he was interviewing Kim Dotcom I listened. Kim Dotcom is a good analyst and he sums it all up very well. The rest of the video talks about the history and such as to how we got to where we are. 


 Worth a quick listen IMO






     According the the Church prophecies, USA will be eventually be forced to join the Antichrist's One World Government.  It has been said different ways, but America will be in trouble for a long time before eventually it falls for financial reasons, — it is believed to be because that will be the only way for USA to claim "bankruptcy."  The Nuclear War option (minute 30:30) is not predicted to happen.  There will be some major world disaster or threat which could be a war (or some terrible worldwide utter chaos) during which Antichrist will appear on the world stage and magically end the problem.  And then overnight Antichrist becomes such a hero that the world compels him to be the world President, King, Ruler, whatever title they will give him.   My understanding and memory of this prophecy is that America will join the One World Government after the advent of Antichrist.  Whether that timeline is accurate or not, Russia will be the last hold out for joining the One World Government.  I wish I had saved these prophecies, since now I am relying on memory, but I'm pretty sure I remember it was said that Russia could be finally forced to join the One World Government by means of war. 

     There is one place on earth that remains untouchable by Antichrist's One World Government and One World Church: Diveevo Convent.  Unknown saints buried there will resurrect, St. Seraphim being one of them who is known.  This part of the prophecy is still on record.  Other saints in Jerusalem also will resurrect along with the return of Sts. Elijah & Enoch.

Peace of Satan is heresy


     Here is how we know that ROCOR-Agafangel is the sole valid continuation of the same ROCOR of Sts. Anastassy,  Anthony, Philaret, Vitaly, Archbishop Averky and Fr. Seraphim Rose.   Our current chief hierarch Vladyka Agafangel says the same thing they say.  The same thing they have always said.  This article is just what Abp. Averky said 60+ years ago and just what he would say again today.  ROCOR is still saying the same the same thing as always.

     Orthodox Christians can not be democrats, liberals, social justice warriors, globalists, socialists, freemasons, ecumenists, liars, evolutionists or homos.   If we find one of those lurking among us, we must call them out.   And if we find in ourselves any sympathy for any of these evils, we must extract it out from our souls. 

     Below is a recent counsel by Vl. Agafangel.  What follows Vladyka Agafangel's counsel is a few pages from the book Struggle for Virtue, by Archbishop Averky.  Sold/published by neo-Jordanville bookstore and offered for sale also by neo-SJKP bookstore.  I urge you all who are faithful to the Church to add this book to your home library before they print a 2nd revised edition.  ~jh



Metropolitan Agafangel: Another heresy.

http://odessa.ruschurchabroad.org/ru/mitropolit-agafangel-eschjo-odna-erestraa


   Very true and relevant words of St. Theophan [the Recluse]: “Throw out of your head nonsense about the good of the people and humanity.”  The desire to establish on earth “the good of all mankind” is a struggle with the Kingdom of Heaven, direct unbelief and opposition to the Holy Scriptures — an essentially satanic matter, which has been fully proven by centuries of similar attempts.  Rebellions in the name of this goal were, as a rule, led by atheists who wanted to seize power over nations (Freemasons, for example), and similar slogans were put forward for ordinary people by outright deceivers in order to attract them to their side (for example, communists).


   Ideas about “universal justice” and, especially, calls to “struggle for it,” in the light of Orthodoxy, are heresy -— it is unacceptable to deceive yourself and hope for an unattainable “universal justice” here on earth.  Moreover, this is unacceptable for a church organization (one can recall the Moscow Patriarchate in the USSR, which declared the ephemeral goals of communism as its business — allegedly, achieving a “bright future for all mankind” is the traditional goal of Christianity).  Another destructive heresy (for many people — in the most literal, both earthly and heavenly, sense), of which the Moscow Patriarchate does not even think of repenting.


* * * *


As St. Theophan teaches his spiritual children in his letters — live in the circumstances in which you live, pray to God and love your neighbors, act with people as the Lord commanded to do — and you will be saved.   Of course, there are cases when persecution and a threat to life — then run from this threat if you do not want or do not see the point in fighting it.  This is what the Lord Himself did, and this is what His disciples did.


* * * *


The idea of ​​“universal justice” is alive, and, unfortunately, will live until the end of this world — it is used by various globalists, many simpletons are intoxicated by it, who ultimately find themselves in the networks of political forces behind which the devil is hiding.  On the basis of this satanic idea, various political projects are built — from the “Russian world” to the “European Union.”


The Moscow Patriarchate, being the product of Stalin, has been unable to free itself from his dead embrace to this day, and, obviously, will not be able to do this in the future.  So, these days, the Kremlin heirs of the communist dictator, with the help of the Moscow Patriarchate, are trying to forcefully impose their satanic Soviet heresy on Ukraine.  Precisely satanic, since one of the main ideas of the 20th and 21st centuries is the combination of the incompatible — Christ and Belial, Orthodoxy and communism, red and white ideas.  The Moscow Patriarchate in combination with Stalinism, which is inseparable from it, is SATANISM.  And they are now trying to spread this evil under the guise of “historical Russia,” which it was these Satanists who destroyed.  Their founders and “earthly” fathers are Soviet atheists; it is from them that modern Moscow power, both political and “spiritual,” originates.  It has no other beginning — which is now clearly demonstrated by the example of Ukraine.  Those believers in the Russian Federation who think that they are in Orthodoxy, unfortunately, are mistaken.  In reality, they profess materialist Stalinism without even knowing it.  Truth cannot be mixed with lies, and in the Moscow Patriarchate they form an inextricable unity — therefore, those who think that they are in the truth, in fact, are in lies.  A truly believing Orthodox person cannot live in a community in which, even to the smallest extent, lies are involved.


* * * *


When they say, “Peace and security,” then destruction will suddenly befall them (1 Thess. 5.3).


 God grant that the time will come when believers, not only in the Russian Federation, but throughout the world, with the help of God, will be able to separate the wheat from the chaff — they will cleanse Orthodoxy from the foreign Soviet press.  Only then is the revival of true Christianity possible — [for] in combination with evil, the Orthodox faith is desecrated and turns into its opposite.


* * * *


It is impossible for us to be deceived and mistaken.  We must firmly believe that true justice and true peace are possible only in the Kingdom of God, which cannot be established by people on earth.  And the Kingdom of God begins in the soul of man and in the church community, where we should try with all our might to establish Christian relationships — this is quite enough for us, and we don’t need more.

Original Russian Vladyka's article:

Митрополит Агафангел: Ещё одна ересь.


Очень верные и актуальные слова святителя Феофана: "Выкиньте из головы бредни о благе народа и человечества". Стремление установить на земле "благо всего человечества" есть борьба с Небесным Царством, прямое неверие и противление Священному Писанию, — дело, по сути, сатанинское, что вполне доказано веками подобных попыток. Возглавляли мятежи во имя этой цели, как правило, богоборцы, желающие захватить власть над народами (масоны, например), и подобные лозунги выдвигались для простых людей откровенными обманщиками, ради привлечения на свою сторону (например, коммунистами).

Идеи о "всеобщей справедливости" и, тем более, призывы к "борьбе за это", в свете православия являются ересью, — недопустимо обманывать себя и надеяться на недостижимую "всеобщую справедливость" здесь, на земле. Тем более, это недопустимо для церковной организации (можно вспомнить Московскую патриархию в СССР, объявившую эфемерные цели коммунизма своим делом, — якобы, достижение "светлого будущего всего человечества" есть традиционная цель христианства). Ещё одна пагубная ересь (для множества людейв самом прямом, как земном, так и в Небесном, смысле), в которой даже не думает каяться Московская патриархия.

* * * *

Как учит в письмах святитель Феофан своих духовных чадживи в тех обстоятельствах, в которых живёшь, молись Богу и люби своих ближних, поступай с людьми так, как заповедовал поступать Господьи спасёшься. Конечно, бывают случаи, когда гонения и угроза жизнитогда беги от этой угрозы, если не желаешь или не видишь смысла борьбы с нею. Так поступал и Сам Господь, так поступали и Его ученики.

* * * *

Идея "всеобщей справедливости" жива, и, к сожалению, будет жить до конца этого мира, — ею пользуются многоразличные глобалисты, ею одурманиваются многие простецы, оказывающиеся, в итоге, в сетях политических сил за которыми прячется диавол. На основе этой сатанинской идеи строятся различные политические проектыот "русского мира" до "европейского союза".

Московская патриархия, будучи порождением Сталина, оказалась неспособна освободиться от его мёртвых объятий по сей день, и, очевидно, не сможет этого сделать в будущем. Так, в наши дни кремлёвские наследники коммунистического диктатора с помощью Московской патриархии пытаются силой навязать Украине свою сатанинскую советскую ересь. Именно сатанинскую, поскольку одной из главных идей XX и XXI века является сочетание несочетаемогоХриста и велиара, православия и коммунизма, красной и белой идеи. Московская патриархия в сочетании с неотделимым от неё сталинизмоместь САТАНИЗМ. И это зло сейчас пытаются распространить под видом "исторической России", которую именно эти сатанисты и уничтожили. Их основателями и "земными" отцами являются советские богоборцы, именно от них ведёт начало современная московская власть, как политическая, так и "духовная". Иного начала у неё нетчто сейчас наглядно демонстрируется на примере Украины. Те верующие в РФ, которые думают, что они пребывают в православии, к большому прискорбию, ошибаются. В действительности, они исповедуют материалистический сталинизм, сами того не подозревая. Истина не может быть перемешана с ложью, а в Московской патриархии они составляют неразрывное единствопотому, думающие, что они пребывают в истине, на самом делепребывают во лжи. По-настоящему верующий православный человек не может пребывать в сообществе, в котором, хоть в малой степени, замешана ложь.

* * * *

Когда будут говорить: "мир и безопасность", тогда внезапно постигнет их пагуба (1Фес 5.3).

 

Дай Бог, чтобы наступило время, когда верующие люди, не только в РФ, но и по всему миру, с помощью Божией сумеют отделить зёрна от плевел, — очистят православие от инородной советской печати. Только тогда возможно возрождение подлинного христианства, — а в сочетании со злом вера православная оскверняется и превращается в свою противоположность.

* * * *

Невозможно нам обманываться и заблуждаться. Мы должны твёрдо верить, что подлинная справедливость и подлинный мир возможны только в Царствии Божием, которое не может быть установлено людьми на земле. А начинается Царствие Божие в душе человека и в церковной общине, где и следует стараться всеми силами устанавливать христианские отношенияэтого нам вполне достаточно, а большего и не нужно.
