The cancer life-cycle Promotion • Assault on cell DNA Initiation Assault Agents: •Chemical (Toxins) •Viral •Genetic •Radiation • Corrupt DNA is “Read” Detection • Uncontrolled cell divisions Multiplication • >1 Billion cancer cells Causes of cancer Landmark studies indicate that up to 90% of cancer originates from the environment “Two-thirds of all cancer cases can be traced to lifestyle, including obesity and poor diet.” Smoking, 30% Diet, 60% Occupation, 5% Virus, 2.5% Radiation, 2.5% The best defense against cancer Best Defense Eating right Living right Avoiding cancer inducing substances It’s what we eat, Stupid! What we eat is a major determinant in heart disease and cancer- the most common causes of premature death Increasingly, studies have shown foods can provide significant protection against heart disease, toxicity and cancer Eating the right foods is like putting on a shield of armor The Power of Life is in Life FRESH fruits and vegetables provide thousands of life-giving substances that cannot be found in processed foods or pills Plants have qualities that allow them to withstand disease, drought, intense sunlight, extreme temperatures, bugs, etc. Processing, pasteurizing, canning, cooking, baking etc. destroy much if not all of the life-protecting qualities in live foods Processed foods taste good and make the manufacturer a lot of money, but degrade our bodies ability to stay strong Super Eight Food Groups “The underpinnings of your body armor against disease” Onion Cruciferous Nuts and Seeds Grass Legume • Onion, garlic, asparagus • Broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower • Pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, walnuts • Corn, oats, rice, wheat • Soybean, green and wax beans, peas Fruit • Citrus, fruits, berries Solanace • Tomatoes, potatoes Umbelliferous • Carrots, celery Tips for your success Everyday eat as many Super 8 fresh food choices as is reasonable Try to consume a plant-based rather than meat-based diet Do not eat burnt, overcooked or foods cooked at searing temperatures.

Eliminate as many sources of toxins in your life as is possible Why over-processed food is unhealthy Strips away anti-cancer agents i.e. glutathione Toxic products are formed by heat May form unnatural amino acids i.e. lysinoalanine (Toxic and known to disrupt the manufacture of DNA) Plant fiber is degraded or removed Irradiation believed to produce radiolytic products which are toxic to animals Over-processed food con’t Minerals are lost Fat is added- especially trans-fats Sugar is added Non-nutritive sweeteners are added Processing of foods has been shown to cause allergies Foods to avoid Diet soft-drinks (Have you ever read the label? What is all that stuff?) Processed meats: Contain nitrates, nitrites, and nitrosamines- known carcinogens Pork: No it’s not the other white meat! Artificial sweeteners Preservatives, dyes Hydrogenated oils Toxins in our bodies Every year over 1,000 new chemicals introduced to stockpile of over 70,000 used by chemical industry There are over 600 chemicals detected in the human body that were not present prior to 1900 A growing number of diseases related to escalating chemical exposure Reducing pollutants deters the risk of many chronic diseases including cancer “It’s the dose that makes the poison.” Ten ways to reduce pollutants If you eat meat, eat only free-range meat and eggs Eat more organic fruits and vegetables Reduce / eliminate pesticides Peel or wash commercial produce Eat more fiber Drink only purified water Don’t drink tap water Don’t use aluminum, teflon or plastic in cooking Make sure your home is lead-free Additional de-toxing ideas Get lots of fresh air- get out of the building and go for walks, sleep with a window open, keep windows open around the house Get 20 minutes of body sun each day (Avoid 10am – 2pm sun) Produces the Sunshine Vitamin (D) which has been shown to help prevent cancer Use only natural soaps, cleaners, lotions, deodorants, shampoos Install 5 stage reverse osmosis water purifier under your kitchen sink.
