Cancer Prevention Tips!

Volume 19 April, 2008 

  For years, naturopath's have claimed cancer rates were much higher than being reported.  It has been our contention that one in two men, and one in three women will develop cancer at sometime in their lifetime. Those statistics are now being confirmed.  Cancer is now the number one cause of death, replacing heart related deaths. 

  Even more interesting is the fact that carbohydrates  play a major role in fat storage, which creates a greater risk for the development of cancers.  It's advisable to scrutinize your intake of carbohydrates which store as fat. Our clinics now offer the New Lepterra diet/meal replacement that balances blood sugar levels, burns stored fat, and has a low Glycemic Index.  People taking Lepterra have been reporting  inch loss, increased energy, and the reduction of food cravings.

Preventing Cancer: 12 Tips to Live By!
  1. Reduce or eliminate your processed food, sugar and grain carbohydrate intake. Yes, this is even true for whole unprocessed organic grains, as they tend to rapidly break down and drive your insulin and leptin levels up, which is the last thing you need to have happening if you are seeking to resolve a cancer.

   2. Control your fasting insulin and leptin levels. This is the end result, and can be easily monitored with the use of simple and relatively inexpensive blood tests.

   3. Normalize your ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fats by taking a high-quality krill oil and reducing your intake of most processed vegetable oils.
      
   4. Get regular exercise. One of the primary reasons exercise works is that it drives your insulin levels down. Controlling insulin levels is one of the most powerful ways to reduce your cancer risks.  Rebounding on a mini-trampoline keeps your lympthatic system cleansing and detoxifying waste at the cellular level, while increasing bone and muscle mass.  I consider it to be the best exercise for the prevention of cancer. 

   5. Normalize your vitamin D levels by getting plenty of sunlight exposure and consider careful supplementation when this is not possible. If you take oral vitamin D and have a cancer, it would be very prudent to monitor your vitamin D blood levels regularly.

   6. Get regular, good sleep,  at least 7 hours a day, and preferably 8 hours of sleep a day.
       
   7. Eat according to your nutritional type. The potent anti-cancer effects of this principle are very much under appreciated. When we treat cancer patients in our clinic this is one of the most powerful anti-cancer strategies we have.
      
   8. Reduce your exposure to environmental toxins like pesticides, household chemical cleaners, synthetic air fresheners and air pollution. Use organic, all natural cleaners.

   9. Limit your exposure and provide protection for yourself from information-carrying radio waves produced by cell phone towers, base stations, phones and WiFi stations.
      
  10. Avoid frying or charbroiling your food. Boil, poach or steam your foods instead.
      
  11. Have a tool to permanently reprogram the neurological short-circuiting that can activate cancer genes. Even the CDC states that 85 percent of disease is caused by emotions. It is likely that this factor may be more important than all the other physical ones listed here, so make sure this is addressed. Energy psychology seems to be one of the best approaches and my particular favorite tool, as you may know, is the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). German New Medicine is another powerful tool.
      
  12. Eat at least one-third of your food raw.  Buy a juicer and regularly alternate the two jucing recipes at the bottom of your script sheet.
