Preventing Cancer: Information, Research, Causes, Symptoms and Treatment

The below provides a general overview on this topic and may not apply to everyone. Any treatment protocol should be discussed with a qualified healthcare practitioner ... Please refer to: Medical & Legal Disclaimer.

According to Dr. David Servan-Schreiber - author of "Anticancer, A New Way of Life" - the average person could have thousands of cancer cells circulating in his or her body. These abnormal cells only cause problems when they proliferate and form masses of cells (a tumor). Impaired natural defenses will allow cancer cells to survive and proliferate.

About one-third of the population will eventually develop full-fledged cancer. About 85% of all cancers are caused by environmental and lifestyle factors. Even though we cannot control some parts of our environment, we can control our diet and diet is a key factor in developing as well as resolving cancer.

Did you know that you can reduce your risk of getting cancer by up to 90 percent?

Healthy food choices and exercise can reduce cancer rates by 25 to over 60 percent.

Red Meat: Eliminating or eating no more than 12 ounces of red meat weekly can reduce overall cancer risk by 30%.

Ensure adequate levels of vitamin D, eat anti-cancer superfoods and avoid cancer-causing chemicals for 90% risk reduction in breast cancer and prostate cancer.

Prevention Strategies

🥤 Juice Therapy

Juicing healthy fruits and vegetables allows for concentrated nutrition. This method enables you to benefit from the nutrition provided by more veggies and fruits than you could ever physically eat. This will supercharge your body's immune system. This treatment program is recommended by the Gerson Institute.

Many cancer survivors swear by this method -- if you only want to follow a couple recommendations, this one would be the most important one together with avoiding toxins.

Max Gerson: The Gerson Therapy

🚫 Avoid Toxins

Eliminate known carcinogens from your environment; these include herbicides, insecticides, second-hand smoke, radiation exposure. Avoid toxic overload and keep your home and body as toxin-free as possible.

According to the U.S. Council Of Environmental Quality: "Cancer risk among people drinking chlorinated water is 93% higher than among those whose water does not contain chlorine."

Shower filters and water filtration systems are relatively inexpensive and easy to install.

🏃‍♀️ Exercise

The Moffitt Cancer Center recommends at least 30 minutes of vigorous or 60 minutes of moderate exercise every day.

Dr. Otto Warburg (Nobel Prize Winner) found that reducing oxygen supply to normal healthy tissue made it cancerous. Exercise increases oxygen intake, which may explain why it's helpful in preventing cancer.

Dietary Recommendations

❌ Avoid Processed Meats

The World Cancer Research Fund recommends people avoid eating all processed meats. Studies show just one sausage a day raises bowel cancer risk by 20%.

• Hot dogs, sausages, bacon, ham
• Pastrami, salami, cured meats
• Processing increases N-nitroso compounds

🔥 Cooking Methods

High-temperature cooking creates heterocyclic amines linked to cancer. Those eating well-done beef have 3x higher stomach cancer risk.

Risk: 1 per 10,000 for average person, 1 per 50 for those eating large amounts of well-done meats.

🥦 Cruciferous Vegetables

Broccoli sprout extract may reduce bladder cancer development by over 50%. Men consuming broccoli and cabbage show lower bladder cancer risk.

• Kale, cabbage, collard greens
• Brussels sprouts, cauliflower
• High glucosinates → isothiocyanates

🎗️ Breast Cancer Prevention

30 minutes of aerobic activity 3-4 times weekly can lower breast cancer risk by 30-50%. Obesity responsible for 20-30% of post-menopausal cases.

• Avoid cadmium, DES, alcohol
• Limit organochlorines exposure
• Maintain healthy weight

Risk Factors to Avoid

🚬 Smoking

Passive smoke increases breast cancer risk by 60%

💊 Hormones

Birth control pills or HRT with long-term use

🌙 Melatonin Depletion

Staying up past 10pm, alcohol, electromagnetic fields

😰 Stress

Chronic stress weakens immune system

🧪 Transfats

Avoid hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated fats

🦴 Fluoride

Linked to bone cancer in young boys

Specific Cancer Information

Alternative Treatment Considerations

Hydrogen Peroxide Treatment

Medical Position:

American Cancer Society states there is no scientific evidence that hydrogen peroxide is safe, effective or useful for cancer treatment.

⚠️ Bone Cancer Caused by Fluoride

In 2005, a Harvard School of Dental Health study found that fluoride in tap water directly contributes to causing bone cancer in young boys. Boys exposed to fluoride between ages 5-10 show increased osteosarcoma rates between ages 10-19.
