It's really amazing that our 'cure' or prevention of cancer could be and probably is in the foods from nature that some of us consume. Evidence is growing of how many foods and drinks inhibit cancer growth and promote cancer cell death. Some people when they are diagnosed with cancer just give up, but I believe that one should try this approach that greg took. I believe people will still die even tho they may start to take up an extremely healthy diet but some people may be saved.

It's worth a try and if you know anyone that has cancer, suggest it.

Cancer Survivor Greg Anderson to Offer Teleseminar on the Cancer/Nutrition Connection August 4, 2005

http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/medicalnews.php?newsid=27982

Cancer conqueror speaks out on the cancer/nutrition connection.

The old saying "you are what you eat" has never been more important than to people fighting cancer. Greg Anderson, a 20-year survivor of a 30-days-to-live lung cancer diagnosis, is founder of Cancer Recovery Foundation, whose mission is to help people prevent and survive cancer, and he knows this to be true.

Refusing to accept the hopelessness of his doctor's prognosis, Anderson went searching for people who had lived even though their doctors had told them they were "terminal." Hear his findings from interviews with more than 16,000 cancer patients including in-depth surveys of survivors' diets and nutritional practices. Eight out of ten survivors interviewed made self-described "major" shifts in dietary and nutritional practices. Food was viewed as part of a total treatment plan.

Anderson has devoted his life to helping cancer patients and their families across the globe learn how to prevent and survive cancer. He is the author of several acclaimed books, including The Cancer Conqueror and the international best seller The 22 (Non-Negotiable Laws) of Wellness.

Cancer Recovery Foundation is the largest non-profit organization that focuses on the "people side" of cancer. The Foundation does not underwrite cancer research or medical treatments. It emphasizes a whole-person approach to getting well again, pioneering the "cancer survival pyramid," a tool widely used in cancer education.

Greg Anderson will hold the first in a series of free teleseminars entitled "Cancer: Food as Medicine" on Thursday, August 4, 2005 at 8:30 p.m. Eastern/7:30 p.m. Central/5:30 p.m. Pacific.

Hello,

I have tried to locate a show that was aired on "The Unexplained" or "Unexplained Mysteries" well over 2 months ago. It was about a woman (probably in her late 50's early 60's) that was diagnosed with cancer and was given a very poor prognosis for survival. Anyway...under the care and guidance of a doctor and special diet she became cancer free.

She had a very serious brush with cancer about 2x3 times. According to that show, she is now a cancer survivor. I remember a few things that were said in the show that may be helpful. They kept stressing how her doctor had her on a special diet...and I remember they showed her preparing broccoli in a couple scenes. Also, they said that with the help of her doctor she had no loss of appetite, in fact she recalled being picked up by her niece or some relative after her khemo treatments and would say what's for lunch...I'm hungry.

These are just some things I recall from the show, hopefully it can refresh someones memory about a show like that. Does anyone know what show this is. I would like to find out who this doctor is and to learn more about his treatments.

Would someone be able to track down that show information and/or tell
me how to do it. I have had no luck.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated and so very helpful.

Thank you,

Cathy Miller

I don't know anything about the show that you are refering to but there are things people should atleast try when everything else has failed.

People that are left to die usually just give up, wait for there time... but a few go and read up on nutrition, supplements and other weird stuff to try and find a cure.

So far we know that certain phytochemicles in vegetables are cancer preventative, they also block certain enzymes that would otherwise accelerate cancer growth.

The kind of diet that a person would go on is an obvious one, first you want to concentrate on nutrition then maybe supplements. Go for foods likes, Broccoli, Brussel Sprouts, Red cabbage, Spinach, tomatoes, carrots, onion, garlic and more... maybe a drink that contains a lot of EGCG like green tea or EGCG MAX (equiv to 10 cups of green tea).

Also Calorie Restriction on rodents is known to slow down cancer development. It could be just by reducing calories by as little as 10-20%.

You would want to refined sugars all together, as cancer loves sugar !

maybe take supplements such as

Omega 3 supplements
Vitamin D3
Curcumin
Melatonin

aswell as a good multivitamineral such as Ortho-Core or Essential Mix.

If you know a person that is dying of cancer and medicine cant save them, then why not try anything you can?

DId you hear about the guy that cured himself by taking large amounts of omega 3 supplement? He has now been cancer free for 5 years I think.
