It can be said, everybody needs about forty different nutrients each day to stay healthy. What can’t be told, is that we all need different amounts of these nutrients as we all differ in our ability to absorb them; due to our genetic background, current health problems, et cetera. This needs to be assessed on an individual basis, taking into account one’s biochemistry.
Extra nutrients necessary to reverse deficiencies and facilitate toxin removal should be based upon individual idiosyncrasies and defined via a nutritionally qualified practitioner as self diagnosis can be difficult and ineffective. Some of the enemies of the immune system are smoke (tobacco incinerator and chimney etc.), radiation, pesticides, carcinogenic chemicals drugs (legal and/or illegal), food additives and incorrect food balance (to much sugar, salt or fat.)
Those three pillars of the processed food industry (sugar, saltor fat) can be self addictive and have you buying more. Of which we aren’t talking real food here: it’s synthetic, completely contrived, created and the many problems involved; is it can trick our bodies repeatedly providing our body with dramatic change (weight gain, endocrine disruption, diabetes and hypertension.)
Are you getting enough sleep? Multiple studies show sleep deprivation leads to food cravings (especially refined carbohydrates, processed food and late night binges.) This is due to the fact a lack of sleep negatively effects the production of a hormone called Leptin which is responsible for telling the body when it is full. Making the body want to consume more calories than actually is needed.
Basically you’re spending time filling up your tank with volume that’s incapable of helping your body heal/repair itself from the daily grind or overcome infections and increases inflammation. Another reason ‘why’ you might have cravings for sweet, salty or fats is because of common deficiencies (magnesium, selenium, chromium, iron, zinc or calcium.)
Another great priority is to keep your immune system flushed and free of toxins. Depending upon the person’s body weight, routine exercise expenditure and types of foods one eats. Generally drinking four pints of water should be consumed daily. While removing or restricting stimulant containing beverages, such as coffee, tea, colas, cordials, fruit drinks and spring water.
These are all diuretics and causes the body to lose more water than is being replaced, putting most organs, especially the adrenal system under stress. Furthermore, ingestion of caffeine from coffee, tea, colas, chocolate and some pharmaceutical preparation will, in sensitive people, produce digestive and nervous upsets made worse by consuming processed foods.
While almost everyone’s mineral absorptions are negatively affected by caffeine ingestion, with calcium and magnesium absorptions greatly affected, iron compromised and other necessary nutrients depleted. Also alcohol, although not a stimulant to the end degree, more than a tiny amount has a depressive effect throughout the nervous system; is a toxin with unnecessary calories.
To be optimally fit, healthy, with unlimited energy and a strong immune system…. it is necessary to follow certain nutritional criteria: Eat fresh ~ whole food, whenever possible eschew processed packaged foods…. those items that had things added to, refined, enriched or in some way interfered with especially hydrogenated or partly so. These will seriously upset the manner your body handles efficient fatty acids. While culminating impaired mineral replacement and usage.
Also it’s important to limit consuming genetically engineered and other hormone induced product (soy, gluten, corn, dairy and night shades if you have any form of arthritis.) That all said, what is left to be eaten, consume a diet high in essential fatty acids ~ absolutely vital to a strong immune system (fresh mackerel, herring, salmon, etc.) It’s not only, important to consume Omega 3’s (fish & linseed), but also, Omega 6’s(evening primrose, black currant & sesame seed oils.)
Also consume plenty and a variety of vegetables and fruits, while cutting down on sugar and refined carbohydrates, white and brown sugar, fake sugars, plus commercially prepared biscuits, cakes, jams, ice cream and soft drinks. Which can disturb your metabolism of essential fatty acids for your overall health. Most of all listen to your body, it is well equipped with an efficient immune system which is able to resist chronic disease and heal injury preventing inflammationif we feed it what it needs to do so?

When I went to get my website secured so it wouldn’t end up in bad favor. The company who handles my security account told me the ones you have to be concerned hacking you are you’re closest friends. I thought impossible, however, I learned later those closest to you offer – up the starkest madness without knowing. Though out the duration of blogging, I only received one negative comment come through the website.
Most health conscientious visitants whom comes into the website realize. I emphasize prevention throughawareness through nutrition and I’m not pretending to be a doctor. The information is the stuff everybody should know, it’s the options and points of views of all sides of the cancer battle; more or less a centralize hub of cancer research on the world wide web. As with this blog post: I know a doctor that drinks eight diet soda’s a day and has no health problems.
I prefer to stay away from drinking soda because for me it leaves me with aches and pains. In 1915, the national average for sugar consumption (per year) was miniscule, with todays standard around 15 to 20 pounds of high fructose corn syrup, plus the average person consumes his/her own weight. Americans are addicted to sugar and vital organs in the body are actually damaged by this gross intake of sugar.
If sugar consumption is continued, an over ~ acid condition results, and more minerals are than needed deep within the body to correct the imbalance. If the body is lacking nutrientsused to metabolize sugar, it will not be able to properly handle and rid itself of the poisonous residues. These waste accumulate through the brain and nervous system, which speeds cellular death which can cause cancer as well.
In one study, published in the Journal of Molecular Cell; a team of researchers under Dr. Custodia Garcia – Jimenez. Having identified how sugar could directly increase your cancer risk. During digestion, cells in the intestine identifies this sugar and tells the pancreas to release insulin (the hormone responsible for blood sugar regulation.) These sugars in the digestive system use a hormone called GIP which assist in insulin release.
Dr. Garcia – Jimenez foundthat a specific protein known as S-Catenin controls the ability of the intestine to release GIP. As this protein is also dependent on sugar levels. Increased activity of S-catenin can make normal cells immortal. Which is a key step…. in early stage cancer progression, thereby, this study demonstrates that high (but not normal) sugar levels can induce nuclear accumulation of S-Catenin and lead to cell proliferation.
One of the keys to orderly brain function is glutamic acid, and this compound is found in many vegetables. When sugar is consumed, the bacteria in the intestines which manufacture B vitamin complexes begin to die. These bacteria normally thrive in a symbiotic relationship within the human body. When the B vitamin complex levels decline, the glutamic acid (normally transform into “go” “no go” directive neural enzymes by the B vitamins) is not processed.
Thereby, the blood becomes over – loaded with waste products and symptoms of carbonic poisoning results. As a result “sleepiness occurs,” as well decreased ability for short term memory function and numerical calculative abilities. Also we Americans consume almost 500% more soft drinks than we did in the 1940’s, although consumption has declined 40% since it’s peak in the 1970’s.
Solitarius.org isn’t about established dogma it’s about sharing the view points and options you have for treatments of cancer. Hopefully, by being made aware you won’t get the dreadful disease. ‘Sacred Geometry,’ is the area in the brain found to be instrumental in the mind ~ body connection, such as the limbic system and the amygdala; which affects the nervous, endocrine and immune system.
Engaging anecdotes (e.g. individuals who have right side prefrontal cortex dominance patterns and negative emotion have greater decreases in their natural killer cell activity.) Stress is the absence of homeostatis or imbalance in the harmonious working of the organism, which results in the body’s concerted effort to re-establish that balance.
The stress response triggers the release of powerful hormones that generate arousal or anxiety. For example: in humans, elevation of thechemical stress pathway (glucocorticoids….. tends to be associated with depression, whereas the electrical stress pathway (epinephrine) is more frequently correlated with anxiety.)
The discrete differences….. in the hormonal response to acute stress compared with chronic stress. Demostrates chronic stress is destructive to health, creating an unremitting suppression of the immune system. Apoptosis is the end ~ stage of chronic stress which is programmed cellular death, whereas humans are literally capable of worrying themselves to death.
Since the 1950’s, researchers have succeeded in unraveling the precise sequence of hormonal reaction that occur during acute and chronic stress responses. The term ‘theta healing system’was coined because the effect naturally occurs when the body is relaxed enough…. to allow the mind to enter a state of equanimity. Most probably occurring at the transitional point between an EEG reading of Alpha and that of Theta.
While the sequences of hormonal release can not yet be determined, the theory is substantiated with research on hormones inducing states of tranquility. As evidence by meditation, deep relaxation that leads to and maintains physical health. The ‘theta healing system’ is the first theory set forth that explains ‘why’ deep relaxation is beneficial to a calm mind.
Therefore, activating the ‘theta healing system’ requires participation of both mind ~ body in some type of relaxation therapy. Specific hormones comprising this system, includes endogenous benzodiazapines, anandamide (and other endogenous cannabinoids), melatonin, N,N-dimethyltryptamine. Which is quite possibly the chemicals responsible for the experience that’s described as spiritual or inner peace.
It’s the pineal gland, not pituary gland that’s the body’s master gland and presents the pineal gland as the physiological core site of the interface. Between which exists outside the body and the hormonal electrical cascades that are experienced as thought, emotions or spiritual in nature. It’s the pineal gland that is the master gland of the endocrine system, that converts light, temperature, magnetic environmental functions into neuroendocrine signals regulating and orchestrating bodily function.
Such as regulating our biological clock, determining our daily sleep ~ wake patterns and influencing our broader lifetime rhythms. It’s the pineal gland that is draped in ancient lore as the mysterious third eye and the site of our six sense. Curiously, it may well be the ‘physiological interface between the mind and body connection and subtle energy experience that transcend the five senses.
In brief, while the pineal gland is the energy transducer that sends hormonal and electrical messages throughout the body. The chakras, as described in eastern religious and medical systems, may be the energy transducers for subtle energy. Therefore, various forms of energy, such as light, sound, electromagnetism and the putative energy behind the healing effects of prayer are translated into the electrical and chemical signals within our bodies.
According to Eastern Medical Systems, the body contains channels through which flows an invisible, but nutritive energy called ‘chi, which loosely translated means vital energy or life force. Furthermore, there is a purported energy surrounding the body, referred to as subtle energy and transcends the faculities of the five senses (it’s taken into the body via openings called chakras.)
Thereby, translated into a form of energy the body uses at the cellular level. Just as the pineal gland is the energy transducer for environmental information, the chakras are the energy transducers for subtle energy. Subtle energy is a healing energy that everyone can learn to perceive and utilize the foundation of integral physiological uniting the enormous contributions of Western Medicine with the profound insight of Eastern Systems of Health.
Besides all that for the sake of health: they ride bicycles and they ride everywhere, which is a habit I picked up this summer. Bicycling helps to keep the heart muscle strong and hip muscles working properly. The vital heart muscle helps keep the heart expansions moving strongly and the hip muscle keeps your back feeling free of pain. Which keeps you active ~ so your entire being works in unison longer.

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 Hymanis 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?
Change Our Attitude Toward The Problem Change The Outcome!!
When Scientist study stress they always differentiate between acute, or short term with a beginning or end, chronic or long term. For instance constantly struggling to make ends meet versus simply being late for a meeting or as serious as getting into a car accident. This flight or fight response starts in the nervous system… which tries to help you find that happy place your looking for to overcome!!!
The central nervous system (CNS) responds to orders from the conscious mind, while the autonomic nervous system (ANS) functions independently. There are two branches within the ANS: sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS). Therefore the (SNS) revs you up as the (PNS) calms you down. Let’s say, that your lost in traffic ~ so your heart pumps you up as you get extra excited about the circumstances.
In milliseconds, the hypothalamus in the brain sends a message to the adrenal glands near your kidney, as the adrenaline increases your heartbeat to twice it’s normal speed. As your memory gets sharper, the immune system goes on full alert, arteries narrow, pupils dilate and your vision becomes more acute, the digestive system slows down and insulin ramps up design to help your fight and flight the event.
However, chronic stress is much more dangerous with your career in jeopardy, marriage on shaky ground, bank account dwindling it’s some rough patch, as your aging parents need care and it hits your all once…. that’s chronic stress. The problem is your body still reacts as the stress were acute stress ~ with only one important distinction there is no calming down period.
The (SNS) that keeps you in heightened physiological arousal has you feeling threatened all the time, everyday. The more your body stress response is activated, the harder it is to switch off. With that being a major concern given anywhere from 60 to 90 percent of illness is stress – related. This is how the stress…. to health connection works: the adrenal gland secretes cortisol…. during stress – cortisol regulates blood pressure, cardiovascular function and metabolism.
Therefore, elevated cortisol over — time weakens your immune system, puts your heart in over drive and raises blood pressure. Consistently high levels of circulating stress hormones can adversely effect brain function as well as memory. Not only, can excessive cortisol interfere with your ‘feel good’ neurotransmitters, such as dopamine and serotonin, making you more vulnerable to depression, but also, inflammation is our immune system’s response to stress, injury or illness (leading to cancer).
It has long been thought acupuncture can reduce stress, says the lead author, Ladan Eshkevari; an assistant professor at Georgetown School of Nursing & Health Studies. Ladan conducted the study because many patients she treats with acupuncture, reports a better overall sense of well – being and often remark they feel less stress.
During preparation for this website one of my favorite reads would have to be: Gene Smart by Floyd H Chilton. Which detailed the adaptive stress response that helps the body adapt to the stress it encounters. Something our ancestors adaptive to well back in the day of less stress filled days, less processed foods, pizza and fast foods being thrown at them.
Twenty first century lifestyle will take and also drive the adaptive response to stress toward over ~ reactive inflammation, being over weight with poor health and premature aging. It is with a lack of nutrition that leads to profound and increased susceptibility toward a whole host of diseases that you see it’s impact.
So it’s our shift in lifestyle and food supply, in combination with our ancient genes that puts us at risk. When you consider the times we’re living, much like the catastrophic events causing the dramatic changes in the diets of dinosaurs. Altered weather pattern which in turn altered vegetation and their ecosystem of that time causing their extinction.
Change is needed to prevent a repeat of history and scientist believe an extensive laundry list is needed to prevent a low – level, full – body chronic inflammation state. That contributes to the aging process by eroding the cell’s ability to maintain themselves while causing themselves to grow old before their time.
Therefore it’s important key is to trigger the adaptive stress response with certain types of calories and biochemical compounds (polyphenols, while adding fiber, correcting the good fat to bad fat ratio, with aerobic exercise to fight inflammation and restricting calories that can alter gene expression), thereby, reducing the biomarkers for inflammation, disease and the aging process.
Between 50 and 75 million Americans have the metabolic syndrome defined by the presence of three or more risk factors. Including abdominal obesity, high triglycerides or cholesterol, elevated high blood pressure and abnormal insulin or glucose levels. The components of the Gene Smart Diet have been found in clinical study to prevent and treat cardio arrhythmias, COPD, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, Crohn’s disease, IBS, psoriasis, asthma and even certain cancer.
Cancer for a long time was in a category of it’s own and as far back as the late 19th century, Scientist noticed inflammation in the presence of certain cancers, believed inflammation played a crucial role in turning any pre malignant cells into malignant cells. Cancer starts with a group of cells, gone haywire, reproducing rapidly and then migrating into surrounding healthy tissue.
This marks the transition from pre malignancy to malignancy, scientist suspect that the tumor essentially borrows the body’s natural inflammatory process to aid and a bet this transition. This mechanism was discovered by a researcher at the University of London, who found mice engineered without the ability to produce a particularly inflammatory messenger; called tumor necrosis factor – alpha.
Because it kills cancer cells under certain conditions this inflammatory messenger, when it is chronically present in low levels, essentially creates a breeding ground for pre malignant cells to turn malignant. However, this process isn’t the primary cancer that kills. Metastases: when cancer cells break off and travel to other locations throughout the body while setting up camp.
Here again inflammation plays a crucial role accompanying cancer cells in the journey to the fatal end (know your inflammatory messengers.)
Leptin: under normal circumstances it regulates the amount of fat the body stores, slowing the process if fat becomes over stocked. However, in people who are obese; this system breaks down and the body has seen so much leptin that they don’t respond appropriately to large amounts of it. Michael Rosenbaum MDat Columbia University Medical Center found with weight loss.
Brain activity indicated increasing emotional and cognitive response to food, as well as declining control over eating behavior. In other words, causes you to reach for the cookie jar and explains ‘why’ only 5 to 25 percent of people who had been obese. However, lost 10 percent of their body weight through diet and exercise are able to keep off the excess poundage.
C – reactive protein: high levels of CRP are so closely related to so many health malaise that sometimes it could be a biomarker of disease and aging. Data collected showcases high levels of CRP are associated with important cardio vascular factors including high cholesterol, high blood pressure, insulin resistance and diabetes. Research studies also indicate women who obese are more than six times (men twice as likely) to have elevated CPR.
Interleukin – 6: may have anti inflammatory effects in people who are lean and physically active helping regulate metabolism, suppress appetite and prevent weight gain. Whereas people who are over weight or obese, elevated IL – 6 is associated with whole body inflammation and increased CRP production.
Interleukin – 8: our fat cells also produce an inflammatory messenger known as interleukin – 8. (IL – 8) plays a pivotal role in the development of atherosclerosis and other inflammatory diseases by controlling how and when white blood move into tissues to cause damage. One recent study also showed circulative IL – 8 correlated to obesity – related biomarkers CRP and IL – 6 as well as glucose regulation.
Tumor Necrosis Factor – Alpha (TNF) is an inflammatory messenger made by macrophages. A type of white blood cells that’s quite prevalent in fat tissue and in people that are lean, macrophages make up only 5 to 10 percent of fat tissue; while they account for 60 percent of all cells in the fat deposits of people whom are over weight or obese.
One study found that compared to those of normal weight, that obese release more than seven times as much TNF from their fat tissue. TNF is associated with insulin resistance, diabetes, hardening of the arteries and congestive heart failure. Although it does kill cancer cells in high enough doses it actually promotes tumor growth when present at lower levels over longer periods of time.
Biomarkers of aging…. are things that make us look and feel old, skin elasticity won’t restore, joints stiffen – up, we’re prone to more colds, bones weaken, your balance worsen, glucose regulation is less efficient. While muscle mass declines, heart muscle weakens as exercise becomes more difficult with lower stamina and energy level. Which can also contribute to weight gain, poor endocrine system, cognitive function and lapses in memory.
Therefore ways to combat aging process, in 1934, two Scientist fromCornell University, Clive McCay and Mary Crowell made an interesting observation. Laboratory mice given a diet that was nutritionally sound but severely reduced in calories lived twice as long as they were expected. In the proceeding 70 years of research that has followed their discovery, we find that calorie restriction is the only item that with stood the test over time to extend longevity.
Like human beings, mice begin a downward death spiral after reaching a certain point in their life cycle as well. However, those living on a CR Diet this decline proceeds at a slower pace. The lab mice don’t lose muscle mass, fur don’t thin as it usually does, immune system remains strong and they don’t become susceptible to diseases like cancer, as older mice generally do.
In 2003, a group of Scientists, led by David Sinclair Ph.D. at Harvard, and Leonard Guarente Ph.D., at MIT made several scientific observations. While studying the effect calorie restriction (CR) in the number of times that yeast could reproduce. Finding a switch board for controlling genes that dictate how long yeast cells have and how many times they divide. Actually the switch board is a biological pathway the scientist called Sir2.
Simply put, Sir2 senses how many nutrients are available to an organism in it’s own environment. If nutrients are scarce as they are when restricting calories ~ the switch board lights up and it’s activity increases. This will in turn have a major impact on how long an organism lives and/or how many times it can reproduce. For yeast cells activating this switch board extends the life span by a whopping 30 to 40 percent.
That same increase in humans would have humans living to 120 years. Also in humans, a similar protein called SIRT1 was discovered and the entire family of protein are collectively known as sirtuins. When activated sirtuins offer a super ~ charged protection against inflammation, and therefore, against disease itself as well as the aging process.
Within the French Paradox and laboratory at Harvard, David Sinclair reported that a naturally occurring polyphenol – like compound common in red wine or red grapes. Resveratrol most potently activates SIRT1 and even more astonishing from a paper that appeared in Nature (2006), revealing mice fed resveratrol lived the same length of time. Having the same motor skills wether on a healthy low – fat diet or high – fat diet.
Duplicating CR’s effects, as resveratrol claim in itself that it can mimic a calorie restricted diet or exercising regularly. Dr. John Auwerx Ph.D. at the Institute of Genetics and Molecular and Cellular Biology in Illkirch, France. In a paper published in the journal Cell (2006), Dr. Auwerx devised an animal study to test high doses of resveratrol on exercise endurance in mice. Whereas your typical lab mouse can run roughly 1 kilometer on a treadmill before collapsing from exhaustion.
However, when mice where given up to 400 milligrams of resveratrol per kilogram of body weight. They were able to run twice the distance of mice not given resveratrol. Furthermore they found that mice had more energy charged muscles with a lower heart rate – characteristically found in train athletes. The near magical properties of resveratrol and other potent bioactives don’t end there.
They also interfere…. with the three stages of cancer formation and modulate the master regulator NF -kB that control inflammation, thereby, protecting against neuronal cell dysfunction and cell death. Which means in theory it could protect against Alzheimer’s and Huntington’s Disease. Harnessing the power of bio-actives is like finding a treasure map directing us to a fountain of youth. One has to consider the satiety of fiber and also the anti inflammatory properties of Omega – 3 fatty acids.
During the last three months in the Archives of this website. I have covered a tremendous amount of information for the treatment and prevention of cancer. Showcasingthe various doctors, their treatments and procedures; while highlighting estrogen imbalances, omega 3’s and how they might increase your risk for prostate cancer. Also a cure through the Ketogenic Diet and important links about the major types of cancer which is worth — a — scroll through the archives.
With the added information about managing cancer through palliative cancer care in our Cancer Hodge Podge Industry we have in this country. The cancer patient must understand their cancer prognosis to help them better understand what they’re up against. Until Government and our Business Leaders, realize and recognize that working out the health care problem from the front door… not back routing cancer patients through the back door with all the cost.
Treatment in the future might be secondary as prevention of chronic disease will be key to our long term health care whoa’s. We as American must find ways to prevent chronic disease before it occurs with nutrition being one important aspect. When my father was terminally ill and I had the dubious distinction of running him to his treatments occasionally.
Sitting there in the waiting room watching talk shows like of Dr. Oz and reading health magazines. While pondering to myself ‘why’ isn’t all these health tips in one website centralized hub of cancer research would be nice. It would do everybody a lot of good knowing “what is” and for those not having the chance to see this particular episode of Dr. Oz or haven’t read this article a vital resource to turn to in their need. Items for instance like selenium, glutathione and a strong immune system are important information to know.
While putting these 5 Rules into Practice and watch it revolutionize your life for the better: 1. No Sugar 2. No High Fructose Corn Syrup 3. No Trans Fat 4. No Saturated Fat and 5. Nothing Enriched. While using the words ‘NO’ or ‘NOTHING’ loosely meaning in moderation, so always think holding down your sugar cravings each day to 100 grams.
However, when Nancy Schuessler found the motivation to lose more than 200 pounds; while going from 400 pounds to 180 pounds in two years than appearing on Dr. Oz in November 2009. Eliminating trans fat, refined sugars, high fructose corn syrup and enriched flour from her diet without medical intervention. It made people stand up and say, “what impact does sugar really have on our health.”
Involving a group of highly trained cyclists and their livers (which this was my motivation to take up cycling.) The liver which is an organ of detox often over looked when you consider organs integral to exercise. However, it’s an important reservoir of glycogen which the body stores from glucose. All the sugars, including sucrose, table sugar, high fructose corn syrup and the works that provides you with the burst to finish strong.
Usually consisting of almost equal portions of glucose and fructose, they are converted into glucose and stored as glycogen in the body. Where strenuous exercise diminishes or exhaust this liver glycogen and until those stores are replenished. The body isn’t ready for another bout of exercise, about like a seizure from low blood sugar…. it’s this balance that is vitally important to performance.
In this study, those scientist used magnetic reasonance imaging to measure the size of each riders liver. Before and after the rides and all the riders lost liver volume during their workouts, a sign their livers were also depleted of glycogen. However, those whom afterwards drank fructose had replaced that volume rapidly. Showing a 9 percent gain in volume after 6 – and – half – hours versus a 2 percent gain among the riders drinking just glucose – sweetened drinks.
Overall the researchers concluded that fructose sweetened drinks were twice as – effective – as the glucose — sweetened drinks stimulating the livers recovery to exercise. These finding concurs with a large body of earlier research suggesting fructose is particularly useful of avid athletes during long, hard workouts which they can burn through their glycogen storage and produce bonking. Beyond Hangovers and Liver Disease!?!
In a 2008 study, involving cyclist that found when they downed a sports drink sweetened with glucose during a two – hour bout of moderate pedaling event. They found they rode faster during the subsequent time trail than the riders whom had drank just water. However, if the sports drink contained both glucose and fructose ( a – two – to – one – ratio.) The riders were 8 percent faster in the time – trial than those drinking only glucose – sweetened fluid?
So does this suggest those whom regularly and moderately work out might want to consider ‘sugar loading’ to help with their performance. The million dollar answer to that question is ‘no,’ because “if ” somebody goes for a thirty minute walk. That duration and intensity will be too short to make a difference in terms of performance. Activity can significantly reduce the health risk associated with fructose and other forms of sugar.
Consider the liver in sedentary lifestyle and large amounts of fructose which is mostly metabolized in the liver. This association has been linked with the development of a disorder known as fatty liver. That condition can reduce the body’s ability to respond to insulin, the hormone that helps to control blood sugar. A person with a ‘fatty liver’ often develops resistance to insulin, while becoming less able to control levels of glucose, thereby, drifting towards Type 2 Diabetes (The Bitter Truth.)
However, exercise can derail this process significantly lessening the amount of fat in someone’s liver. Overall Dr. Richard Johnson, whom is a professor of medicine at the University of Colorado, Anschultz Medical Campus in Denver. Concludes current science suggests that exercise exerts a positive physiological influence on some of the same metabolic pathways that sugar harms.
“Exercise may make you resistant to the considerable effects of sugar,” states Dr. Johnson whom also says, ” sugar isn’t all bad ~ but is hardly good nutritionally, the best sugars come naturally and can be found in fruit.” It’s the best sweetener option and that it comes with a satiating dose of all natural fructose. Therefore, lets take a look at what impact sugar has on glycogen in the liver and how does that impact your chances of getting cancer or other types of chronic disease.
Doctors and Scientistknow cancer starts when abnormalities in one cell or a group of cells. Usually many years before you can feel a lump or see it on a scan, it’s there starting to divide and reproduce uncontrollably. You can see the difference because some of the genes in the cell have been damaged or lost (mutated.) Genes are coded messages inside a cell telling it how to behave.
Therefore, different genes make different proteins, thereby, each cell has many genes and produce many different proteins. Proteins are the building blocks that make a cell healthy cells. While some proteins act as on and off switches helping to control how a cell behaves, for example: hormone signals acts on a protein in or on the cell; these proteins send a series of signals which tell the cell to reproduce by dividing into two.
Mutations mean a gene has been damaged or lost and these mutations may have too much protein or that a protein hasn’t been made at all, for example: a signaling protein may been permanently switched on, or other proteins whose jobs are to control and limit cell division may have been permanently switched off. Mutations can happen by chance when a cell is reproducing and it’s not easy for a normal cell to turn cancerous.
There has to be about a half a dozen different mutations before this can happen. Cells often destroy themselves if they have a mutation or the immune system recognizes them as abnormal killing them if theimmune systemis functioning properly. This means most precancerous cells die before they can cause cancer, thereby, only a small percentage of the mutated cells turn cancerous.
It can take years before enough mutations to happen for a cell to become cancerous. This is reason ‘why’ most types of cancers are more prevalent in older people. However, some people are said to have a genetic predisposition to a type of cancer. This means they are more likely to develop that type of cancer than most people (therefore, they’re more at risk, however, it takes many steps in the process of a normal cell to become cancer and spread ~ metastasis.)
CACHEXIA is the dramatic wasting away, weight loss and muscle atrophy from protein break down seen in patients with chronic disease. Including Type I diabetes, multiple sclerosis, HIV, cancer and individuals with age associated ‘failure to thrive syndrome.‘ With weight loss in these serious illnesses being unintentional and is a pathological process accompanying the primary disease.
A Simple TRUTH: the abnormalities associated with cachexia than include anorexia, preferential loss of somatic muscle fat loss, altered hepatic glucose, lipid metabolism and anemia (anorexia alone can not fully explain the development of cachexia, the metabolic alterations in carbohydrates, lipid and protein metabolism contributed with severe tissue losses and fatigue.
Despite significant advances in our understanding, although complex; studies suggest an inflammatory response, also mediated in part by a dysregulated production of pro inflammatory cytokines play a crucial role in the genesis of cachexia. Associated with both critical illnesses and chronic inflammatory diseases.
These cytokines are further thought to induce an acute phase protein response (APR) that produce the alterations in lipid and carbohydrates metabolism. Identified as the crucial markers of acute inflammation in states of malignancy and critical illness. There is growing appreciation cachexia represents the end product ~ appropriate interplay between the multiple cytokines, neuropeptides, the classic stress hormones and intermediary substrate metabolism?
In cancer patients, CACHEXIA is also associated with a decreased response to therapyand poor prognosis. With the overall interest is understanding the role of the immune system in preventing tissue from pathology. Including severe muscle wasting seen in patients with cancer, auto immunity and chronic infections. While restoring an immune system so that tissue is protected from immune mediated damage.
Summation of Principled Points: while handily the Top Four Foodsto limit in your diet if you want to stay healthy 1. Sugar 2. White Flour 3. Processed Foods & Oils and 4. Milk that may affect protein degradation and synthesis. These foods can also activatea systematic inflammatoryresponse changing free amino acid patterns, hydration state and acid base balance. While also changing hormone secretion, tissue perfusion, oxygen availability and energy intake into cells.
Rather than food allergensanother reason for a strong immune system that can be compromised by those whom drink, smoke heavily, elderly or young and patients that have cancer or diabetes. Is for those instances of pneumonia or legionnaires disease and any other ‘bacterial invasion.’ Legionnaires’ disease can be deadly and is caused by a bacteria called legionella.
Named after a 1976 outbreak during an American Legion Convention in Philadelphia, when 221 Legionnaires became ill and 34 of them died.Legionella bacteria are commonly spread through airborne water droplets, mist or vapor. The illness can happen anytime of year, however, is most common during summer and early fall (Legionella bacteria can trigger pneumonia which is inflammation.)
The mortality of 1976 in Philadelphia was high because the antibotics used (penicillins, cephalosporins, aminoglycosides) had poor intracellular pentration. The current treatments of choice are the respiratory tract quinolones (levofloxacin, moxifloxacin, gemifloxacin) or newer macrolides (azithromycin, clarithromycin, roxithromycin), with levofloxacin and azithromycin used most frequently. The fatality rate range from 5% to 50% depending how quickly antibodies are used.
I. G. Edward Griffin: American film producer, author and political lecturer; turned health advocate in 1974. Within his published book: World Without Cancer and documentary video. Griffin asserts cancer is a metabolic disease facilitated with the insufficient dietary consumption of amygdalin, a view not endorsed by the medical profession.
Myself consuming dried apricots for prevention, however, Griffin advocates the use of laetrile, a semi ~ synthetic derivative of amygdalin as a treatment for cancer. Since the 1970’s, the use of laetrile to treat cancer has been described ascanonical example of quackery banned in the United States. However, than President Ronald Reagan seeked out Dr. Hans Nieper in Germany, a regular practitioner helping him to beat cancer. WOW…. Longevity NOW!?!

The cornerstone of his treatment is a personalized diet based on your nutritional and metabolic type. The second component an individualized supplement protocol designed for your particular metabolism, while thirdly, detoxification protocol helping your liver and kidney mobilize and eliminate dead toxic cancer cells. One worth while Dr. Gonzalez’s beliefs ~ is the usage of pancreatic enzymes for treating cancer.

III. Dr. Ray Sahelian M.D., obtained a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nutrition from Drexel University, thereby, completing his Doctoral training from Thomas Jefferson University Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. A popular, well respected physician and medical writer. Dr. Sahelian is internationally recognized as a moderate voice in the evaluation of natural supplements.
In his books, articles, and website he discusses both the benefits and risk factors of supplements. What separate Dr. Sahelian from all other doctors who write about supplements is he actually test various dosages of the herbs and nutrients to determine the effect they have. It is this method that has provided significant insight into herbs and supplements few medical doctors have discovered.
IV. Dr. James Forsythe: native to Detroit, Michigan and graduating from University of California Berkeley in 1960; he was accepted at the University California San Francisco Medical School. Also to finance his education he turned to the U.S. Army Medical School Program, in return for financial assistance he agreed to serve in the military after school in 1964.
After fulfilling his military obligation in 1970 while joining the Army Reserves, he accepted a hematology and oncology fellowship at U.C.S.F. In 1974, Dr. Forsythe relocated to Reno, Nevada where he developed cancer wards at Saint Mary’s Hospital and Washoe Medical Center. Then later feeling disillusion with the poor performances in the early 1990’s. Dr. Forsythe began searching for better ways of integrating conventional oncology with alternative medicine starting Century Wellness Clinic.
V. Dr. Robert A. Nagourney: when he began studying cancer biology nobody had to explain the often fickled and unpredictable response to treatments. His guiding principle always has been to treat patients as uniquely different with different protocol based on diagnosis. Therefore in 1993, his quest to provide personalized diagnosis lead to the finding of Rational Therapeutics.
There at Rational Therapeutics testing your cancer against a number of standard chemotherapies. As well as the newest molecularly targeted agents. Typically, Rational Therapeutics analyzes your tumor response to 8 to 16 standards and combinations to identify which treatment works best to kill your personalized cancer cells.
VI. Dr. Lawrence Plaskett: graduated from Cambridge University in 1956 as a biochemist and completed his PH.D., at University Hospital Medical School London in 1960. During the latter 1970’s he developed his interest in unorthodox approach to clinical nutrition and Chinese medicine. Establishing a multi – discipline alternative clininc in S. W. United Kingdom and London’s Upper Harley Street.
With his experience working the borderlands between nutrition and medicine enabling him to offer a synthesis. Between many fields nutrition, pathology, biochemistry, toxicology, pharmacology, cellullar biology, naturopathy and homoeopathy. In his remarkable written book: The Nutritional Therapy of Cancer it comes as a surprise when he writes.
When you make a radical change to your diet the power of the body can destroy tumours. The biochemist, medical researcher, food industry expert, practitioner of nutritional, herbal and homoeopathic medicine. Theorize that nutrition can figure as a possible reversal of this dreadful disease, better than surgery, radiation and chemotherapy.
This theory is heavily disputed in the cancer industry, however, when it’s possible to strengthen cells against the influence preventing the cancer cells to form. Also during the Cancer Nutritional Trust in 1997, Dr. Plaskett Cancer Protocol was put to the test by a sunstantial number 0f cancer patients until 2006 and 0ver half had their cancer go into remission while returning to good health.
VII. Dr. Francisco Contreras: believes tumours are but a symptom of a metabolic failure causing them to grow in the first place. Therefore, removing or destroying them…. without taking the necessary steps to restore theorganic deficienciescausing them. Will account for most cancerous recurrences, thereby, understanding the cause n’ effect of the disease. Should be more important then granting successes to what happens to the tumor.
VIII. Dr. Thomas Rau: since 1992, has served as Medical Director of the Paracelus Klinik; just east of Zurick, Switzerland. A first 0f it’s kind clinic combining holistic medicine with naturopathic treatment. Requiring a commitment to changing, including attitude adjustment (the spirit, mind & body working in unison that provides a healing pathway.) If you have negativity your chance 0f illness is greater, therefore, reawakening, reinvigorating life forces ~ it’s ability to heal and regenerate is called Biological Medicine.
Bi0l0gical Medicine focuses on the whole body (spirit, mind & body) uncovering the true cause 0f illness while providing a comprehensive wellness solution. It’s also an understanding how the body functions and restoring the body to equilibrium, thereby, ending the symptoms, 0ptimizing health, while supp0rting the bodies own need to detoxify, strengthen digestion and build a healthy immune system.
I. Dr. Leslie Bernstein: Professor and Director of the Department Cancer Etiology in the Division of Population Science, City of Hope National Medical Center. Dr. Bernstein having 31 years of experience at University of California and for 20 years she served in the position as the Scientific Director of the Los Angeles County Cancer Surveillance Program.
Which is a population – based cancer registry that is one of the National Cancer Institute’s Surveillance Epidemiology End Results (SEER) registries. While she also served in the past as: Co – Director for the Trans disciplinary Research on Energetics and Cancer (TREC) Center at U.S.C. focusing on prevention of obesity through promoting a physically active lifestyleas a means of cancer prevention.

Dr. Blaylock, whom has continued a close personal friendship with Dr. Kempe over the ensuing years and who at 91 years continues to study neuroanatomy, ornithology displaying his longevity. Of Special Note: Dr. Kempe climbed the Himalayan Mountains at age 87 which is a true testament of his robust health, vitality and enduring love for adventure. Probably also inspiring Dr. Russell Blaylock in his second book ~ writing Health and Nutrition Secrets That Can Save Your Life.
III. Dr. Leonard Coldwell: In a new age of Health Care when people won’t be able to afford to go to the hospital. Dr. Coldwell claims ‘all Cancer’ along with ‘all other immune diseases’ are based on emotional and mental stress. Dr. Coldwell stated, “can be cured in 2 to 6 weeks through Holistic Remedies, mentions sodium bicarbonate, apricot kernels, oxygen therapy, rife machine and colloidal silver.”
Dr Coldwell also says, “in the 1900’s Nobel Prize WinnerOtto Warburgand Max Planck (considered to be the Founding father of Quantum Theory) proves that cancer can only exist in an oxygen lacking ~ acid environment.” Typically, normal pH values are 7 for most people, however, if your pH is lower than 7 ….it means many toxins are in your body.” Dr. Coldwell also exemplifies an oncologist physician from Italy, Dr. Tullio Simoncini cures all types of cancer using sodium bicarbonate.

IV. Dr. Isadore Rosenfeld: before hanging up his white coat in 2011, thereby, leaving his medical practice to spend more time with his family, friends while engaging in other passions and pursuits. Dr. Rosenfeld was a professor of medicine at New York HospitalWeil Cornell Medical College and was widely recognized as one of the United States preeminent heart specialists.
With nine best ~ selling books to his credit (as well as textbooks for doctors.) Dr. Rosenfeld’s opinions were respected and he also served as a consultant to the National Institute of Health Issues on such task force artheriosclerosis, sudden death, and hypertension. In my favorite book of his Healing Breakthroughs, he addresses Breast, Cervical, Colon, Ovarian and Thyroid Cancers and many other tips that can save your life.
Dr. Meschino is a fellow of the Academy of Anti – Aging Research, and also Associate Professor at the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto, Ontario. Where he has taught classes in biochemistry, nutrition and natural medicine since 1984. He has also taught various classes at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine, and in 2010 became faculty member also in the Integrative Cancer Therapy program of the American Academy of Anti – Aging Medicine.
Dr. Gaudet has become widely recognized as a leader in the emerging field of Integrative Medicine. While also being selected as one of the Top 25 women in Health Care by Modern Health Care Magazines.

He received both his medical degree and under graduate degree in biology from Harvard University. Andrew Weil also, believes combining the Western methods of doctors; while incorporating alternative therapies, such as omega 3 fatty acids, vitamin D, some types of medicinal mushroom, herbal remedy, meditation and spiritual strategies utilized in conjunction.
Dr. Andrew’s strongest influences are the late osteopath Robert Fulford, who specialized in cranial manipulation; Martin Seligman, director of the Positive Psychology Center at the University of Pennsylvania, and also Stephen Ilardi, professor of Psychology at the University of Kansas, and author of the Depression Cure. Some mainstream medical professionls have criticized Andrew Weil for rejecting aspects of evidence – based medicine.
VIII. Dr. David Perlmutter: board certified Neurologist; and author of the book Power Up Your Brain: The Neuroscience of Enlightment. Solitarius being a website for the prevention of cancer, however, Alzheimer’s disease might well be considered an epidemic in our country. With also more than 5.3 million Americans diagnosed with the disease and that number expected to double by 2030 impacting our health care.
