Functional Medicine

    Solitarius was a vision  I had when  I talk to a Chinamen living in Kettering, Ohio about the differences on how they view cancer and us            in the Western world see’s it.  In China they’re taught in grade school       their body  is a temple  and  the virtue  of  safe  guarding  that  temple.     Soon after  my  father  past away  of  Leiomyosarcoma  I had a vision   about a website  that would help prevent people  from  getting cancer, therefore, saving them the experience of  this dreadful disease itself.

    Never any guarantees when it comes to cancer: Dr.  Mark Hyman                is a practicing physician  and   founder of  the Ultra Wellness Center in Lennox, Massachusetts. A five time New York Times best selling author    and  Leader  in  the  field  of  Functional  Medicine.  Dr. Hyman  whom believes  that  physical  disturbances  caused  by  either  food  allergies, vitamin  or  mineral  deficiencies  are  behind  emotional stress.  Whom wrote  the  forward  for  Leigh Forston’s   book  Embrace Release Heal   which is being outlined in this blog post.

      In July 1974,  Researcher Cedric  and  his brother Frank Garland  of       John Hopkins University proposed  for  the  first time  the Ultraviolent B (UVB)/ vitamin D cancer prevention hypothesis.  By presenting a map of Colon cancer mortality rates in the United States showing the Northwest     is approximately double that of  the Southwest.  Hypothesizing the most important  ‘physiological  effect’  of  ‘solar  irradiance’  is  production  of vitamin D  (it was likely vitamin D  reduced the risk of  cancer.) 

    Observational studies support the use of  vitamin D  with breast and colorectal cancer, as well  non – Hodgkins Lymphoma  and other cancers. There was a randomized trial  of  1,100 IU of  vitamin D  and  1500mg/day       of  calcium  reducing  cancer  by  35 percent  in  postmenopausal  women.    IT also appears that it takes 1000 to 4000 iu/day of  vitamin D to give up      to 50 percent reduction  for many types of  cancer  and  about  25 percent reduction in all incidences of  cancer.

    Each year,  we have 17 million Americans walking around with cancer    and  over  550,000 people  will  die.  Traditionally  we  focus  on late stage curative care  of  burning,  poisoning,  or  cutting out the tumor then wait, watch  and  pray it stays at bay.  While missing the underlying conditions that led to the cancer in the  first place. 

      Diet,  lifestyle,  thoughts,  and  environmental toxins  all  interact  with     our genes changing our health.  We always ask what type of chemotherapy, surgery or radiation is needed for the tumor.  Rather than asking ‘why’ and ‘how’: why did the cancer grow?    How can you/we change the condition that  fed  and support the cancer cell growth?

    Surprisingly,  scientific literature is abundant with evidence that diet,   exercise,  thoughts,   feelings  and  environmental  toxins  all  influence  the initiation, growth and progression of  cancer.  If a nutrient – poor diet  full  of sugar,  lack of  exercise,  chronic stress,  persistent pollutants and heavy  metals can cause cancer.  Could  it  be  that  a nutrient – dense,  plant based diet,  physical activity,  changing thoughts  and emotional stress with also   some  form  of  detoxification change your  fortune.

   Consider this  fact:  16 percent  of  all cancers are new primary cancers        in patients who had have cancer before, not recurrence. This means people whom have cancer  are more likely to get a secondary independent cancer. So what changes  did they make:  Nothing  ~  diet,  lifestyle,  environment; both physically  and emotionally stayed the same.

   Consider this  fact: the lifetime risk of  breast cancer  for  those  with the breast cancer gene, or “BRCA 1  or 2  is presently 82 percent and increasing every year.  Before 1940, t he risk of  getting cancer  for those with the gene was 24 percent.    So what changed?   Our diet,  lifestyle,  and environment both physically and emotionally.

    Cancer arises  from a disturbance in your physiological state, thereby, addressing this disturbance might be called  ‘milieu therapy’.  Rather than treating cancer per se’  we treat ‘the milieu’  in which cancer arises.  This is manageable: we can enhance ‘immune function’ and ‘surveillance through dietary  and  lifestyle changes, nutrient or phytonutrient therapy.  We can facilitate our body’s own detoxification system to promote the elimination  of  carcinogenic compounds.

   We  can  improve  hormone metabolism  and  reduce  the  carcinogenic effects of  too much insulin  from our high sugar and refined carbohydrate diets. We can detoxify the toxic estrogens through the modulations of  diet and lifestyle.  We  can  alter  how our genes are expressed by changing the inputs  that  control expression — through diet,  phytonutrients, nutrients, eliminating toxins,  stress  and  other sources of  inflammation.

     The  future  of  cancer  care:  must  use  patient’s  understanding  the mechanism of  the disease,  as well  physiological and metabolic balance.    to design treatments supporting  and enhancing normal physiology. The future of  cancer care lies  not in  finding the best chemo – cocktail  agent, right dose of radiation or surgical technique.  But  finding  the right way     to  personalize  treatment  according  to  the  individuals  imbalances  in each person?
