Cancer is killing your friends your family and even you...

There's nothing funny about finding out that you or your loved one has come down with a life threatening illness and it seems like with all our modern technology we should be making progress in the fight against cancer but the fact is cancer rates are still on the rise with seeming healthy people getting sick and dying all around us.

In 1998 My father Gerald was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer at age 58 and given 6 mos to live. This was someone who cycled 20-50 miles per day, ate healthy and was a non smoker. He was a fighter and lasted 5 years, years of experimental medications, chemo and radiation. In the final weeks I had to watch the very painful downfall of my Dad as he suffocated to death under the weight of the cancer. He died in April 2003 at age 63.

So the big question is why? Do any of us really understand what cancer is and how it works? And for the few of us who do we may find that there is little we can do when faced with devastating and debilitating effects of this disease...

In 2006 my friend and colleague Kirt was diagnosed with testicular cancer, rather than going straight into chemotherapy he opted to try a homeopathic approach to treatment and was able to force the cancer into recession. He is alive and well to this day.

Knowledge really is power and if we as a society can arm ourselves with the knowledge to avoid cancer all together then we will have effectively gotten out of harms way as it were... I believe that this is 70-90% of what is going to "cure" cancer...

It is important to realize that the world we live in is filled with poisons, and to regard them as such. Take Sodium Nitrate for example, a common preservative found in most packaged meats. Sodium Nitrate causes cancer in lab rats and also in humans but every day millions of people all over the world are subjected to this poison in their food, most unaware that what they are consuming is in fact poison. To put it simply, if it has no dietary benefits and it is proven to cause cancer then it is poison. Sodium Benzoate and Ascorbic Acid (vitamin-c) when combined may produce Benzene, an aggressive carcinogen, unfortunately this combination is fairly common in many bottled juices and sodas around the world. And what then if you drink a Sodium Benzoate contaminated beverage and unwittingly take a vitamin-c pill? Monosodium Glutamate, we all know is bad and have heard that it causes cancer but did you know that this non-organic food additive may have psychoactive effects besides just tasting good. In fact Monosodium Glutamate is not a flavoring like salt, it is a flavor enhancer... I guess kind of like how beer is a one night stand enhancer. Or in the words of Dr. Russell Blaylock, a board-certified neurosurgeon and author of "Excitotoxins: The taste that kills." In it he explains that MSG is an excitotoxin, which means it overstimulates the cells causing cell damage or death, causing brain damage to varying degrees - and potentially even triggering or worsening learning disabilities, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Lou Gehrig's disease and more. And yet, the FDA continues to claim that MSG in food does not have any ill effects.

So what about the FDA? Do they just not care about us? Or due they perhaps have an agenda which has been paid for by the companies that package our foods?

I hate to sound like a conspiracy nut here but where there's smoke there's fire and unfortunately its not hard to prove that the FDA is willing to bend when it comes to multi-national corporations with multi-million dollar budgets, like oh say...the tobacco industry. Cigarettes are perfectly legal. You walk into a store to buy them and the clerk is more then happy to sell them to you with no consideration given to things like cancer and dying and your loved ones who will be devastated when you are gone. If the government wants to make something "unavailable" to the populace then they can be very effective at doing just that. So you have to ask yourself why is the FDA a federal organization whose business is supposed to be preserving and protecting the quality of life for all Americans willing to turn a blind eye to things which a blatantly poisonous and deadly? The answer is of course $$$. Sodium Nitrate and other preservatives which cause cancer increase the shelf life of packaged foods and thereby increase the profit margins for both the manufacturer and distributor. These are profits that these companies cannot afford to "loose" even if it results in the premature death of millions of Americans. Bottom line is they cant be trusted to distribute the knowledge and information that will save your life, your families life and ensure that your future will be filled healthy days.

So where do we find the knowledge that will give us the power we need to stay healthy?

If you have no idea where to start looking for information on nutrition and holistic healing then the internet is a fairly decent place to start. I would say it's a great place to start but unfortunately its just as easy to post a false teaching as it is to post a truthful teaching. False teachers often times are coming from an egotistical platform. Such as many Doctors who think they are so smart and know everything there is know about everything but will quickly put you on a regimen of prescription medications which will almost definitely not cure anything and will likely cause more problems than what you started out with. Becoming a nutrition guru isn't going to happen overnight but if you start with the right building blocks
you will find that this is a very interesting and rewarding field to study.

So what is the big secret? What is it that everybody needs to know about Cancer prevention?

What you need is a better understanding of things which you probably already know. Cancer starts on an atomic level and through poor diet and exposure to unhealthy conditions is given the environment it needs to thrive. Air pollution, second hand smoke, heavy metals, harsh chemicals and cleaners, food additives and preservatives, even hand sanitizers and laundry detergent. These are all ways which poisons can enter your body and keep your immune system struggling. So you can be sure that your immune system is whats going to save you...as always. You've heard the term "Free Radicals" and that those are the things that cause cancer...this is basically true with regard to known cancer causing agents that we can control ourselves . But do you even know what a free radical is and whats going on with them? A free radical like sodium nitrate has molecules which are slightly unstable due to there being an absence of an electron in the outer electron sheath. When this type of molecule enters the body, the blood stream and the cells it will pull an electron from the molecules in the healthy cell in order to stabilize itself. This molecule (from the healthy cell) will then be imbalanced and continue on to pull another electron from the shell of its neighbor and so on...this is called electron cascading and it is the basis on which healthy cells turn cancerous. ANTIOXIDANTS however have the extra electron to balance out the free radicals and prevent electron cascading. So if your cells are always filled with fruits, teas, juices and foods which contain high levels of antioxidants than your chances of beating cancer just skyrocketed.

How is it possible that healthy people in there 20's and 30's are coming down with Cancer and dying within months?

That is an excellent question and I wonder that myself. What I can come up with is that we aren't getting the whole story as to what actually causes Cancer and what the possible solution may be. On the one hand there are people making miraculous recoveries and on the other there are seemingly healthy people dropping dead in a matter of months. We all have different genetic traits and tendencies and this could play a big role but I think there has to be a more every day approach to understanding and defeating Cancer. I think another big part of it is the mental programming and indoctrination which we are all subjected too. I think if you can train your self to be a more outside the box thinker you can open up a realm of possibility which includes less traditional treatments which may actually be more powerful than anything western medicine can throw its way. In a way it begs the question, What is good health? Is your mental and emotional state going to make a difference? Absolutely. Is your Spiritual beliefs and understanding going to make a difference? Yes, I would think so.

So beating cancer is going to turn into some kind of a religion?

Not so much a religion but something similar to what they teach in AA (Alcoholics Anonymous), that in order to beat something that is bigger and more powerful than you are it requires a belief in a higher power (God) and that by coming to terms with God and thereby the realities of your life with regard to that perspective you have a much greater chance at beating Cancer as well as dealing more effectively with the many challenges of every day life.
