'Cancer is the disease Americans fear most,1 and understandably so since it’s responsible for nearly one out of every four deaths in the US.2 Adding to its stigma, cancer diagnosis and treatment are the moneymakers in this industry – and also the focus of most government-funded cancer campaigns.

Comparatively little is done in the way of prevention education, leaving many feeling powerless against this potentially deadly disease – as though all you can do is cross your fingers and hope you don’t become one of the quickly growing cancer statistics. What a relief it should be to learn that prevention strategies not only exist, but also are remarkably effective at lowering your risk of most types of cancer.'

'Cancer wouldn’t be as fatal or as tragic if it didn’t spread. If cancer was a cluster of diseased cells, it would be more easily treatable. But, it’s the spread of cancer, also known as metastasis, that makes it so volatile, so difficult to stop. A study recently published in Cancer and Metastasis Reviews looks at how a plant-based diet can stop this spread, working to halt cancer in its tracks.'

Online Course Launch: Revolutionizing the Wounded Paradigm

'3-Week Course, August 12th, 19th, 26th - 2pm PST/5pm EST, 1 and 1/2 hours and 30 minutes Q/A each course. Hosted by Mettaversity. All course enrollees will receive a free digital copy of The Dark Side of Wheat.


1 in 4 Americans will develop cancer at some point in their lives. Yet, the current medical establishment focuses on "early detection" as a primary means of prevention and views cancer as a fatalistic disease only to be treated with chemo, surgery and radiation. Drawing from exciting new developments in the fields of nutrigenomics, epigenetics, whole food nutrition, and mind-body medicine, this 3-part course, will explore this alternative view of cancer causation, as well as the profound implications this will have for those who wish to take back control of their health, or that of their loved ones.'

Let Food Be Thy Medicine: Top 10 Healing Foods Of The Decade

 'Eat Food. Not Too much. Mostly Plants. -- Michael Pollan, renowned food expert and journalist, 2007 A.D.

'The healing properties of food have been reported by cultures worldwide throughout history. However, the past decade has presented an explosion of clinical research to show specifically what health benefits individual foods can offer, identifying the various nutrients and phytochemicals associated with these benefits.

Many fruits, vegetables, and unprocessed whole foods have properties that can benefit our health. Studies in the past decade have taken nutritional research beyond protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals. Chemicals in the plants called phytochemicals have been a specific focus in the past decade, offering benefits such as cancer prevention, cholesterol reduction, and hormone regulation, to name a few.

There is truly a cornucopia of nutritional benefits that have been discovered. Here are a few "superfoods" that have received a lot of press in the past decade for their research-supported health benefits:'

Fight cancer and heart disease with one crunchy snack

By Dr.Allan Spreen


'I keep sunflower seeds in my kitchen cabinets, at my desk, and in the car. These crunchy seeds contain lots of natural vitamin E. In fact, just a quarter cup of sunflower seeds contains almost 100 percent of your Recommended Daily Allowance of this fat-soluble vitamin. 

As you'll recall, vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that patrols your body for harmful free radicals that lead to disease and aging. It also blocks free radicals from damaging cholesterol in your body. You see, every cell in your body needs a certain amount of cholesterol, but when attacked by free radicals, it becomes oxidized (or unstable). And cholesterol, once it has oxidized, can stick to blood vessel walls and lead to atherosclerosis. But eating a handful of sunflower seeds each day will give your body the tools it needs to flush out these unstable molecules. 

But that's not all...'

SERVE BROCCOLI WITH MUSTARD TO BEAT CANCER

 

'EATING broccoli with mustard can boost the vegetable’s cancer-fighting ability, scientists have found.

Adding radishes, rocket or wasabi, a form of Japanese horseradish, can have the same effect.

But overcooking the broccoli can kill the vital enzyme it contains. Steaming it quickly for just two to four minutes is the best way to preserve its well-known health benefits, say US scientists.'

An Interview With Crazy, Sexy, Kris Carr

 
1. You were so young when you were diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. The average Jane might have pulled a “Poor Me” (and I’m sure you had your moments). But you did this whole Pick-Yourself-Up, Brush-Yourself-Off routine that is outrageously inspiring. How did that happen?

It happened in the mirror. I was crying in the bathroom of an oncologists office, trying to hide my terror from my family and I just looked in the mirror and said, “Hell no.” The jackass had just given me an expiration date and suggested I do experimental treatments that would hack up my body but not cure me. The cancer I have has no cure. So we left the office and went to Whole Foods. I mean where else do ya go? That’s when I decided to take my power back and learn how to truly take care of myself so that I could participate in my health, instead of my disease.

2. Your reaction to your cancer diagnosis was to film your award-winning documentary Crazy Sexy Cancer. What inspired you to take life’s lemons and start juicing lemonade?

Death teaches you a lot about life! Here I was fighting for a life that I wasn’t having a good time living. Because the disease I have is slow moving I actually had time to deal with me and as a result I began to live with passion, action, and love. Damn does that feel good!

Cancer is Not a Disease

'Cancer is a survival mechanism. The body allows cancer, tumors and other diseases to happen in order to compensate for an underlying problem. Andreas Moritz explains why suppressing symptoms of an underlying problem, like a cancerous tumor, can cause more harm than good. Medicine cannot cure when it's just suppressing symptoms. You treat disease by finding the root cause of the illness and treating that.'

A Cure For Cancer? Eating A Plant-Based Diet

'As it is now, one out of every two of us will get cancer or heart disease and die from it - an ugly and painful death as anyone who has witnessed it can attest. And starting in the year 2000, one out of every three children who are born after that year will develop diabetes--a disease that for most sufferers (those with Type 2 diabetes) is largely preventable with lifestyle changes. This is a rapidly emerging crisis, the seriousness of which I'm not sure we have yet recognized. The good news is, the means to prevent and heal disease seems to be right in front of us; it's in our food. Quite frankly, our food choices can either kill us - which mounting studies say that they are, or they can lift us right out of the disease process and into soaring health.'
