Cancer

Everyone knows someone who suddenly became ill with some kind of cancer. It is a silent killer. In the last twenty years the death toll has been rising despite over 25 billion dollars spent on research. The medical community has not been effective in saving lives when it comes to this untimely killer.

Scientific Research

The Department Of Health And Human Services claims that "over a million people in the United States alone will be diagnosed with cancer this year."

The American Cancer Society states that "30 to 40 percent of cancers are directly linked to dietary choices".


The American Cancer Society also recommends a diet that "includes a variety of vegetables, fruits, and grains, and is consistent with the ACS guidelines on diet, nutrition and cancer prevention, and adds to the evidence supporting a link between diet and cancer." References

Medical Folly

Modern medicine claims to focus on early detection, but physicians usually diagnose their patients in the last stages of development which prompts aggressive treatment. Chemotherapy and radiation is extremely difficult to endure and sometimes only extends your life a short while. Early intervention is important, but not nearly as important as preventing it for a life time. In order to fight cancer effectively you have to know the cause. What does the current research say about the actual root cause of cancer?

Cause of Cancer

Dr. Peter Kovacic stated in Current Medicinal Chemistry "Of the numerous theories that have been advanced, oxidative stress is the most comprehensive, and it has stood the test of time. It can rationalize and correlate most aspects associated with carcinogenesis (cancer)"

Oxidative Stress

Oxidative Stress causes the nucleus of a cell to mutate and grow (metastasize). The good news is that this destructive process can be prevented and even reversed with proper nutrition and potent antioxidants. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals and prevent oxidative stress.

    Cancer Prevention Foods

    In order to follow a diet rich in the nutrients that fight cancer and prevent chronic degenerative diseases you have to eat high fiber foods that are low fat, (especially saturated fat) with at least seven servings of fruits and vegetables a day.

    Although it sounds easy, under ten percent of the population actually does it. And we are creatures of habit. It's hard to eat healthy with the abundance of fatty, non-nutritional food at our fingertips.

    The good news: You can supplement your diet with very effective and inexpensive antioxidant supplements that will dramatically reduce the oxidative stress within your body.

    Antioxidant Supplements

    Cancer is caused by oxidative stress which can be neutralized with antioxidants. Which antioxidants are the most effective in preventing cancer?

    The short answer is grape-seed extract and CoQ10 . These two potent antioxidants have been used successfully by aggressive doctors to treat various types of cancer. You can order these pharmaceutical grade supplements at Douglas Laboratories.

    The long answer is that there are pharmaceutical grade daily vitamin supplements that have a synergistic effect on the body which means that they work together to produce results that cannot be achieved without the combined nutrients. If you fall short of eating mostly fruits and vegetables prepared correctly to maintain their nutritional value then a multi-vitamin is recommended with additional supplementation of key antioxidants.
