The Strong Correlation Between Good Sound Nutrition and Cancer Prevention:

I'm not sure if it's just me, but lately I've been hearing too many horrific stories of young people being diagnosed with cancer. Today I came across an interesting article (which may based on information from Johns Hopkins) on Facebook which reaffirmed my feelings on the importance of good, clean nutrition for overall health and cancer prevention.

The following is a brief summary of the main points of the article which I think it so vitally important for all to read and internalize!!

Every person has cancer cells in their body, When a person's immune system is strong the cancer cells are destroyed and prevented from reproducing and forming tumors. When a person is diagnosed with cancer it indicates he/she has nutritional deficiencies which can be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors. One needs to overcome these multiple nutritional deficiencies by changing their diet!!

Chemotherapy and radiation involve poisoning and destroying rapid growing cancer cells but they also destroy healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract etc. Yes, initial therapy with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size, however their continued use will not result in tumor destruction. When the body is overly intoxicated from the chemo and radiation the immune system is either badly compromised or destroyed and the person can succumb to infection and complications.

An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply. One such example is  sugar which feeds cancer and is an essential food supply for cancer cells. Additionally, cancer cells thrive in an acidic environment. A meat-based diet is acidic therefore it is best to eat fish and some chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat contains antibiotics, growth hormone and parasites, which are all harmful! A Diet made mostly of fresh vegetables, whole grains, seeds, nuts and some fruit helps put the body in an alkaline environment!

Last but not least is that cancer is a disease of the mind, body and spirit. A positive spirit will help that cancer warrior become a survivor!!

I am not reinventing the wheel here with new information. This stuff has been proliferated over and over again. However, I feel it's necessary to reiterate as a way for me to implore to each and every one of you to please get on board with a healthy mind and body! It's imperative for everyone to do what is clearly in their control to keep these cancer cells from proliferating in their bodies. Cancer Sucks!! and I've personally had my fill of watching so many young people suffer!

(There is some controversy if this information did indeed originate from Johns Hopkins, nevertheless I decided to elaborate on it as feel strongly about the correlation between good nutrition and its' role in disease/cancer prevention and I feel it's about time we take matters into our own hands--- and at least  do what is in our control to do to obliterate this disease!)
