Prevent well over half of all cancers....Today's post:  Tuesday, 10-30-2018

1.  Recently a study found that eating organic produce removed at least 5% of all cancers even when confounding factors such as not smoking and eating right were removed.

Charles Benbrook, a Visiting Scholar in the Bloomberg School of Public Health, Johns Hopkins University said this 5% reduction is worth the effort to expand:

“New study showing organic diets cut cancer risk is a big deal. Let’s treat it that way.

No study is perfect—but recent findings that organic food consumption cuts cancer risk highlights an opportunity to tackle a deadly, expensive health crisis:

More than 1.7 million Americans will be newly diagnosed with cancer in 2018, and 35 percent of these cases will prove fatal.

A little less than $150 billion was spent fighting cancer in 2017.

Imagine the excitement that would accompany the discovery of anything -- a new drug, therapy, diet, or lifestyle change -- that promises to cut overall cancer frequency by 5 percent.

Every year, such a discovery would spare 87,000 people this most-feared diagnosis, and reduce deaths by 30,000 and cancer-related health care costs by around $7 billion.

Such monumental benefits would justify major investments and significant policy change.”

2.  But we know how to cut cancers by well over 60% and maybe over 90%!

Using Charles Benbrook’s numbers even 60% would prevent ten million cancers a year and 360,000 deaths a year and save cancer-related health care costs by around $84 billion a year!

a) If it were illegal to use tobacco or nicotine or release tobacco smoke in the presence of other people or in their air space and those products were tripled in price nationwide and effective ways to quit them were made available free or at reduced cost for those who used them, over half of all cancers and cancer deaths for the 40% of the population exposed to them or tobacco smoke would disappear.  (Among other things, tobacco is radioactive so it causes all kinds of cancer in any part of your body your blood reaches.)

As a bonus the deaths and disability caused by Alzeimer’s disease and heart attacks and stroke would drop in half for this 40% also. (This is thought to be due to the cadmium and arsenic in the smoke and the reduction of blood flow to the brain caused by increased artery deposits from the tobacco use and the increase in chronic inflammation.)

Smoking also often prevents anyone who injures their back causing pain or disability from recovering.  Cutting that in half for 40% of the population would save medical and disability and lost productivity costs. (Smoking and nicotine boost the signals from pain nerves and prevent them from turning it off studies found. It also prevents bone and disc repair.)

b) Alan Carr’s Easy Way to quit smoking is a very effective way to remove the psychological addiction to nicotine that drives tobacco use, nicotine use, smoking, and vaping.  Seeing to it that the vast majority of young and older people now using these things were coached to use this method successfully would permanently remove enough people who get cancer and die from it now.

3.  The book AntiCancer: a new way of life, explains clearly how eating hybrid wheat and other grains and protein from animals fed an unnatural diet of grains and soy causes a massively excessive intake of omega 6 oils of 20 to 30 times too much.  And many people also use soy or corn or canola oil also too high in omega 6 oils.

(Extra virgin olive oil is a safe alternative because it has minimal omega 6 oils and does have the olive and olive leaf extracts that have anti-cancer effects.)

The AntiCancer book shows that completely stopping these excess omega 6 oil foods and eating organic cruciferous vegetables and protein foods from wild caught or naturally fed organic foods instead, tends to prevent cancers from forming or growing if they begin.

We now know that these grains and grain oils also contain bioconcentrated residues of glyphosate and other herbicides and pesticides known to be carcinogenic.

So removing them AND their excess inflammation can cut the risk of cancers by everyone who does so by well over 5% -- and 40% may be closer to the mark.

Here again there are bonus death and disability and cost reductions because slashing excess inflammation also cuts the incidence of Alzheimer’s disease and heart attacks and strokes!

4.  Excess sugars and free fructose source and artificial sweeteners also tend to cause cancer and boost its growth big time!

So by slashing the use of real sugar or stopping it and stopping all free fructose or artificial sweeteners cuts the incidence of cancers and cancer deaths even more.

And, since these addictive substances also cause heart disease and Alzheimer’s disease, stopping them all saves medical care and other costs such as disability and deaths as a bonus.

(Susan Peirce Thompson, MD specialist in cognitive programming found that because of the addictive effects of sweeteners, by far the most effective way to stop them is a complete 100% removal.)

Her Bright Line Eating has the added bonus of removing all your excess fat.

5.  Then too there are many foods and supplements that slash the incidence of cancer:

a)   The book AntiCancer suggests eating curries with turmeric and black pepper or taking turmeric or curcumin extracted from turmeric as a very effective and safe anti-inflammatory.  Turmeric and its curcumins have other direct anti-cancer properties.  So eating and taking it has a double action against cancers.

Ginger is a botanical cousin of turmeric and is a safe anti-inflammatory and is available both ground as a spice and as a food.

Both turmeric and its curcumins and ginger also help prevent heart disease and strokes with their anti-inflammatory effects AND they reduce LDL cholesterol.

Between the better blood flow from cardiovascular benefits and the sharp drop in inflammation, turmeric and its curcumins and ginger also help prevent or turn off Alzheimer’s disease.

b) A recent study found that taking enough vitamin D3 cut the incidence of all kinds of breast cancer by 75%!  Other studies of 4,000 to 20,000 iu of vitamin D3 a day show similar results in preventing or stopping prostate cancer. 

We know that taking at least 90 mcg a day of vitamin K2 with that much D3 removes calcium from your heart’s blood vessels and  direct it to build your bones instead.  One medical group even found that D3 plus K2 was more effective in killing cancer cells than D3 alone.

c) The best way to get the anti-cancer effects of carotenes is to eat organic cruciferous vegetables that are also high in hundreds of complementary carotenes with anti-cancer effects.

d) Two carotene supplements that research shows have very strong anti-cancer and eye protective effects are 30 mg a day of lycopene and 12 mg a day of astaxanthin.

The combination of vitamin D3 and lycopene and eating organic cruciferous vegetables not only prevents prostate cancer, it has caused it to shrink and cuts the incidence in half or more of the aggressive and spreading prostate cancers that kill.

Lycopene also benefits your eye health and the very small molecule carotenoid can get into your eye and other places that have a barrier or very little circulation to stop cancers.  And, it may open the door to lycopene entering as well.

e) Taking 3 mg a day of boron also cuts the incidence in half or more of the aggressive and spreading prostate cancers that kill.

Boron has direct anti-cancer effects on prostate cancers and may well have on other reproductive cancers such as breast and uterine and ovarian.

AND, boron helps you form strong and unusually hard bone that prevents cancer cells from killing you with bone cancer.

f) Not using pesticides or herbicides in your home or yard and only eating organic foods, helps keep these carcinogenic and neurotoxic chemicals out of your body.

6.  Unfortunately, we now have people in charge of our federal regulations who are increasing the amount of carcinogenic poisons in our air and water in almost everything they do.

So, currently, another way to cut costs from cancers are to vote for their opponents who have a more positive view of helping you keep your health and NOT get cancers!
