The Cancer Conspiracy
As things have picked up for several projects that I am
currently working on, I have not been able to write as much as I would like on numerous
topics including health. I have had to use guest bloggers, experts and
syndicated literature to inform readers; however, the issue that I wish to
engage today is a very powerful one and I did not want to leave this task to
anyone else. Although I believe that there are some who are capable of doing
this topic justice, I believe that I have the perspective to bring the message
home.
Having been so immensely impacted by cancer, I understand
the monumental devastation this one disease has caused in the U.S. alone. I have
lost my father, grandfather, several aunts and uncles as well as many other
family members and friends to this devastating disease. Some time ago, I embarked
upon a journey to understand some of the most deadly killers in America — heart
disease, hypertension, cancer etc. — and what I found was all of these illness
were preventable and treatable without the use of pharmaceutical grade medications.
Let’s Talk About the
Facts
Many people are aware of the fact that cancer impacts the lives
of many people in America, but what you may not be aware of is the actual extent
of the impact that this disease has made and continues to make. Every year,
more than one million Americans are diagnosed with cancer. Even more startling
is the fact that one in three Americans will be diagnosed with some form of
cancer in their lifetime. Two out of every three diagnosed with cancer will die
from the complications of the disease within five years.
These are the facts, but the truth is that they do not have to
be a part of your reality. One of the first things that I learned when
beginning my research on cancer was that despite the fact that it has been designated
as a highly genetic and inherited disease, it is preventable, and although there
are hereditary traits involved, one of the primary factors associated with the disease
was dietary consumption. The foods that we eat play a major role in our health,
including the development of cancer.
The Big Question
The next enigmatic issue that I had to engage after learning
that there were simple ways to avoid cancer and naturally treat it was to gain
an apprehension of why the world of medicine and the government was not sharing
this with the average citizen. Here is why. The average cancer patient spends
$50,000 annually fighting the disease, which equates to more than $50 billion
in annual revenue for the medical industry — predominantly pharmaceutical companies,
but also including doctors, hospitals and extended care facilities. Simply
stated, there are numerous companies that are profiting from the suffering and
death of cancer patients, meaning that a cure for this disease could literally
make a vast portion of this industry obsolete.
The Truth about Cancer
There are multitudinous natural treatments for cancer that
have been proven highly effective, but the majority of these treatments have
been purposely kept under wraps by the U.S. Government and the medical
industries that profit from the illnesses of Americans. In an industrial
country in which medicine has made great strides there is no reason that any
disease or illness should be worse than it was 100 years prior. Yet, review the
following facts in order gain a lucid apprehension of the dynamic in play here.
·
In the early 1900s, one in 20 people developed
cancer
·
In the 1940s, one in 16 people developed cancer
·
In the 1970s, it was one in 10
·
Today, that figure is one in three
Although some of the disparity may be contributed to
misdiagnosis in the earlier years that cannot totally explain the disparity.
According to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), about 1.6
million cases of cancer are expected to be diagnosed in the U.S. in 2014. At
the same time, the overall death rates are falling — the only explanation is
the 40-year war on cancer has been a fraud.
Cancer has become a revenue machine and this means that the
powers that be have fought fiercely to quiet any news or data that speaks of
cures and effective non-medical treatments for cancer. There are foods that
have been outlawed in more than 160 other countries because of the dangers they
pose, including the high cancer risks involved with consuming them, yet these
foods are still allowed in America.
In a situation in which powerful companies lobby to control
laws that allow them to remain profitable and powerful companies, those who are
unaware are at risk. With the average cancer patient spending $50,000 per year
on fighting the disease (Chemotherapy drugs alone can cost a cancer patient
between $3,000 and $7,000 per month.), there is no way that this huge
pharmaceutical complex is going to allow their cash cow to be shot in the head.
Taking Control of
Your Life
The first thing that you need to do is educate yourself on
the disease; ignorance on the matter will prove to be deadly. Do not allow the propaganda
to paralyze you from making the decision that could save your life.
To assist you in getting started on managing your health, I
have included twelve powerful steps to help you prevent cancer provided by Dr.
Joseph Mercola, one of the leaders in natural health medicine in the U.S.
1.
Food Preparation: Eat at least one-third of your
food raw.
Avoid frying
or charbroiling; boil, poach or steam your foods instead. Consider adding
cancer-fighting whole foods, herbs, spices and supplements to your diet, such
as broccoli, curcumin
and resveratrol. To learn more about how these anti-angiogenetic foods
fight cancer, please see our previous article: "Dramatically
Effective New Natural Way to Starve Cancer and Obesity."
2.
Carbohydrates and Sugar: Reduce or eliminate processed
foods, sugar and grain-based foods from your diet. This applies to whole
unprocessed organic grains as well, as they tend to rapidly break down and
drive up your insulin level. The evidence is quite clear that if you want to
avoid cancer, or you currently have cancer, you absolutely MUST avoid all forms
of sugar, especially fructose, which feeds cancer cells and promotes their
growth. Make sure your total fructose intake is around 25 grams daily,
including fruit.
3.
Protein and Fat: Consider reducing your protein
levels to one gram per kilogram of lean body weight. It would be unusual for
most adults to need more than 100 grams of protein and most likely close to
half of that amount. Replace excess protein with high-quality fats,
such as organic eggs from pastured hens, high-quality meats, avocados, and
coconut oil.
4.
GMOs: Avoid genetically
engineered foods as they are typically treated with herbicides such as
Roundup (glyphosate), and likely to be carcinogenic. A French research team
that has extensively studied Roundup concluded it is toxic to human cells, and
likely carcinogenic to humans. Choose fresh, organic, preferably locally grown
foods.
5.
Animal-Based Omega-3 fats: Normalize your ratio
of omega-3 to
omega-6 fats by taking a high-quality krill oil and reducing your intake of
processed vegetable oils.
6.
Natural Probiotics: Optimizing your gut
flora will reduce inflammation and strengthen your immune response.
Researchers have found a microbe-dependent mechanism through which some cancers
mount an inflammatory response that fuels their development and growth. They
suggest that inhibiting inflammatory cytokines might slow cancer progression
and improve the response to chemotherapy.
·
Adding naturally
fermented food to your daily diet is an easy way to prevent cancer or
speed recovery. You can always add a high-quality probiotic supplement as well,
but naturally fermented foods are the best.
7.
Exercise: Exercise lowers insulin levels, which
creates a low sugar environment that discourages the growth and spread of
cancer cells. In a three-month study, exercise was
found to alter immune cells into a more potent disease-fighting form in cancer
survivors who had just completed chemotherapy.
·
Researchers and cancer organizations
increasingly recommend making regular exercise a priority in order to reduce
your risk of cancer, and help improve cancer outcomes. Research has also found
evidence suggesting exercise can help trigger apoptosis (programmed cell death)
in cancer cells. Ideally, your exercise program should include balance,
strength, flexibility, high intensity interval training (HIIT). For help
getting started, refer to my Peak
Fitness Program.
8.
Vitamin D: There is scientific evidence you can decrease
your risk of cancer by more than half simply by optimizing yourvitamin
D levels with appropriate sun exposure. Your serum level should hold
steady at 50-70 ng/ml, but if you are being treated for cancer, it should be
closer to 80-90 ng/ml for optimal benefit.
·
If you take oral vitamin D and have cancer, it
would be very prudent to monitor your vitamin D blood levels regularly, as well
as supplementing your vitamin K2, as K2 deficiency is actually what produces
the symptoms of vitamin D toxicity. To learn more, please see my previous article:
"What
You Need to Know About Vitamin K2, D and Calcium".
9.
Sleep: Make sure you are getting enough
restorative sleep.
Poor sleep can interfere with your melatonin production, which is associated
with an increased risk of insulin resistance and weight gain, both of which
contribute to cancer's virility.
10. Exposure
to Toxins: Reduce your exposure to environmental toxins like pesticides, herbicides,
household chemical cleaners, synthetic air fresheners and toxic
cosmetics.
11. Exposure
to Radiation: Limit your exposure and protect yourself from radiation
produced by cell phones, towers, base stations, and Wi-Fi stations, as well
as minimizing your exposure from radiation-based medical scans, including
dental x-rays, CT scans, and mammograms.
12. Stress
Management: Stress from all causes is a major contributor to disease. Even the
CDC states that 85 percent of disease is driven by emotional factors. It is
likely that stress and unresolved emotional issues may be more important than
the physical ones, so make sure this is addressed. My favorite tool for
resolving emotional challenges is Emotional Freedom
Techniques (EFT).
You cannot depend on the medical industry nor the government
to have your best interest in focus. This means that the responsibility for
your health lies solely with you. By following the 12 steps mentioned here,
while continuing to educate yourself, will provide a foundation of principles
that will lower your risk of getting cancer while increasing your chances of
beating it if you were to contract the disease. ~ Dr. Rick Wallace Ph.D.
