Imagine
a commercial plane crashed and there were some fatalities involved. You can be
sure that would make the headline of every major newspaper. Well, we have the
equivalent of 8-10 planes crashing EVERY DAY with everyone on board dying from
cancer.
Nearly two million Americans are diagnosed with cancer every year¡Xone person
out of three will be hit with a cancer diagnosis at some time in their lives,
in spite of the massive technological advances over the past half-century.
Western medicine is no closer to finding a ¡§cancer cure,¡¨ while cancer has
grown into a worldwide epidemic of staggering proportions. The statistics speak
for themselves:
¡P In the early 1900s, one in 20 people developed
cancer
¡P In the 1940s, one in 16 people developed
cancer
¡P In the 1970s, it was one in 10
¡P Today, it¡¦s one in three!
According
to the CDC, about 1,660,290 (1.66 million) new cancer cases are expected to be
diagnosed in 20131. If overall death rates are falling, why are incidence
rates still on the rise? The answer is simple: the 40-year ¡§war on cancer¡¨ has
been a farce.
The cancer epidemic is a dream for Big Pharma, and
their campaigns to silence cancer cures have been fierce, which is a tale well
told in the documentary film featured above, Cancer: Forbidden Cures.
Please
understand that cancer is big business. The cancer industry is spending
virtually nothing of its multi-billion dollar resources on effective prevention
strategies, such as dietary guidelines, exercise and obesity education.
Instead, it pours its money into treating
cancer, not preventing or curing it.
Why would they shoot their cash cow? If they can keep the well-oiled Cancer
Machine running, they will continue to make massive profits on chemotherapy drugs,
radiotherapy, diagnostic procedures and surgeries.
The typical cancer patient spends $50,000 fighting the disease. Chemotherapy
drugs are among the most expensive of all treatments, many ranging from $3,000
to $7,000 for a one-month supply.
If the cancer industry allows a cure, then their patient base goes away. It
makes more sense to keep a steady stream of cancer patients alive, but sick and coming back for more.
How did this societal monster come about?
The featured documentary is enormously informative. It details how the
pharmaceutical industry partnered with the American Medical Association (AMA)
in an ingenious plan to overtake the medical system in four swift, easy steps,
back in the early 1900s. In a nutshell, it went something like this:
1. International bankers that own the drug and
chemical companies gained control over the medical education system over 100
years ago.
2. They gave grants to the AMA and leading
medical schools in exchange for seats on their board and the ability to control
policy.
3. This then gave them the power to exclude any
doctor from
4. Finally, they cleverly engineered their
control of virtually every federal regulatory agency
relating to the practice of medicine.
In
spite of the enormous amounts of money funneled into cancer research today, two
out of three cancer patients will be dead within five years after receiving all
or part of the standard cancer treatment trinity¡Xsurgery, radiotherapy and
chemotherapy. This is not too surprising when you consider that two of the three
are carcinogenic themselves! One study estimated that chemotherapy benefits
about one of every 20 people receiving it.
Over the last hundred years, a number of natural cancer treatments have been developed and used
successfully to treat patients in the US and other countries. All have been
vehemently discounted, silenced, and pushed under the rug by the medical
monopoly, with physicians and researchers attacked, smeared, sent to prison,
and professionally ruined for daring to defy the medical establishment.
To this day, with respect to credibility in medicine, ¡§quack¡¨ is synonymous
with ¡§competition.¡¨
In order to protect the medical monopoly, any
viable natural treatment is met with massive opposition by the pharmaceutical
and medical industries. Drug companies have no interest in natural agents that
they cannot patent, because they interfere with their revenue stream. They will
go¡Xand have gone¡Xto extreme measures to prevent the truth about effective natural treatments (competitive threats) from reaching the
public.
The FDA is now, thanks to PDUFA, primarily funded by the drug companies and is
complicit in this process. They restrict competition in the guise of protecting
the public, when the reality is they are protecting the profits of the drug
companies.
There
is so much you can do to lower your risk for cancer. But please don¡¦t wait
until you get the diagnosis¡Xyou have to take preventative steps NOW. It¡¦s much
easier to prevent cancer than to treat it, once it takes hold. I believe you
can virtually eliminate your risk of cancer and chronic disease, and radically
improve your chances of recovering from cancer if you currently have it, by
following these relatively simple strategies.
1. Food Preparation: Eat at least one-third of your food raw. Avoid frying or charbroiling; boil, poach or steamyour foods instead. Consider adding cancer-fighting whole foods, herbs, spices and supplements to your diet, such as broccoli, curcumin and resveratrol
. To learn more about how these anti-angiogenetic foods fight cancer, please see our previous article: "Dramatically Effective New Natural Way to Starve Cancer and Obesity."2. Carbohydrates and Sugar: Reduce or eliminate processed foods, sugar/fructose and grain-based foods from your diet.
This applies to whole unprocessed organic grains as well, as they tend to
rapidly break down and drive up your insulin level. The evidence is quite clear
that if you want to avoid cancer, or you currently have cancer, you absolutely
MUST avoid all forms of sugar, especially fructose, which feeds cancer cells
and promotes their growth. Make sure your total fructose intake is around 25
grams daily, including fruit.
3. Protein and Fat: Consider reducing your protein levels to one gram per
kilogram of lean body weight. It would be unusual for most adults to need more
than 100 grams of protein and most likely close to half of that amount. Replace
excess protein with high-quality fats, such as organic eggs from pastured hens,
high-quality meats, avocados, and coconut
oil.
4. GMOs: Avoid genetically engineered foods as they are typically treated with
herbicides such as Roundup (glyphosate), and likely to be carcinogenic. A
French research team that has extensively studied Roundup concluded it¡¦s toxic to human cells, and likely carcinogenic to
humans. Choose fresh, organic, preferably locally grown foods.
5. Animal-Based Omega-3 fats: Normalize your ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fats by taking a
high-quality krill oil and reducing your intake of processed vegetable oils.
6. Natural Probiotics: Optimizing your gut flora will reduce inflammation and
strengthen your immune response. Researchers have found a microbe-dependent mechanism
through which some cancers mount an inflammatory response that fuels their
development and growth. They suggest that inhibiting inflammatory cytokines
might slow cancer progression and improve the response to chemotherapy.
Adding naturally fermented food to your daily diet is an easy way to
prevent cancer or speed recovery. You can always add a high-quality probiotic
supplement as well, but naturally fermented foods are the best.
7. Exercise: Exercise lowers insulin levels, which creates a low
sugar environment that discourages the growth and spread of cancer cells. In a
three-month study, exercise was found to alter immune cells into a
more potent disease-fighting form in cancer survivors who had just completed
chemotherapy.
Researchers and cancer organizations increasingly recommend making regular exercise a priority in order to reduce your risk of cancer, and help improve cancer outcomes. Research has also found evidence suggesting exercise can help trigger apoptosis (programmed cell death) in cancer cells. Ideally, your exercise program should include balance, strength, flexibility, high intensity interval training (HIIT). For help getting started, refer to myPeak Fitness Program
