Executive Summary The Good!

• More and more people are Beating Cancer

The Bad The Opportunity The Gains

• Many Cancer rates are still increasing • Eat to Beat Cancer • Live Strong-Improving your overall Health • Life and more of it for you and your family Everything in this presentation will improve your overall health- not just cancer prevention!

Agenda

Begin defending yourself NOW!

 Cancer develops in the body over a lifetime  A slow steady progression that may take 10, 20, 30 years to become detectable  Effective countermeasures should be employed over your lifetime  Lines of defense should be formed 10 to 20 years before cancer might become detected  Long before you discover mutinous cells, you can be preventing them!

The cancer life-cycle

• Assault on cell DNA Initiation Promotion • Corrupt DNA is “Read” • Uncontrolled cell divisions Multiplication Detection • >1 Billion cancer cells Assault Agents: • Chemical (Toxins) • Viral • Genetic • Radiation

Causes of cancer

Landmark studies indicate that up to 90% of cancer originates from the environment “Two-thirds of all cancer cases can be traced to lifestyle, including obesity and poor diet.” Smoking, 30% Diet, 60% Occupation, 5% Virus, 2.5% Radiation, 2.5%

The best defense against cancer

Best Defense Eating right Living right Avoiding cancer inducing substances

It’s what we eat, Stupid!

 What we eat is a major determinant in heart disease and cancer- the most common causes of premature death  Increasingly, studies have shown foods can provide significant protection against heart disease, toxicity and cancer  Eating the right foods is like putting on a shield of armor

The Power of Life is in Life

 FRESH fruits and vegetables provide thousands of life-giving substances that cannot be found in processed foods or pills  Plants have qualities that allow them to withstand disease, drought, intense sunlight, extreme temperatures, bugs, etc.

 Processing, pasteurizing, canning, cooking, baking etc. destroy much if not all of the life-protecting qualities in live foods Processed foods taste good and make the manufacturer a lot of money, but degrade our bodies ability to stay strong

Super Eight Food Groups

“The underpinnings of your body armor against disease”

Onion

• Onion, garlic, asparagus

Cruciferous Nuts and Seeds Grass Legume Fruit Solanace Umbelliferous

• Broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower • Pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, walnuts • Corn, oats, rice, wheat • Soybean, green and wax beans, peas • Citrus, fruits, berries • Tomatoes, potatoes • Carrots, celery

Tips for your success

 Everyday eat as many Super 8 fresh food choices as is reasonable  Try to consume a plant-based rather than meat-based diet  Do not eat burnt, overcooked or foods cooked at searing temperatures. Preferred cooking methods; steaming, broiling and light baking  Use olive, sesame seed, or macadamia nut oil in cooking  Take daily supplements; especially beta carotene, B12, time release C, E and Selenium

Don’t panic, Eat organic!

No

• Hormones • Antibiotics

Fewer More

• Pesticides • Herbicides • Fungicides • Toxic metals • Nitrates • Healthful agents (i.e. Resveratrol in organic grapes) • Essential vitamins and minerals • Taste and you can eat the skin!

Eliminate as many sources of toxins in your life as is possible

Why over-processed food is unhealthy

Strips away anti-cancer agents i.e. glutathione Toxic products are formed by heat May form unnatural amino acids i.e. lysinoalanine (Toxic and known to disrupt the manufacture of DNA) Plant fiber is degraded or removed Irradiation believed to produce radiolytic products which are toxic to animals

Over-processed food con’t

Minerals are lost Fat is added- especially trans-fats Sugar is added Non-nutritive sweeteners are added Processing of foods has been shown to cause allergies

Foods to avoid

 Diet soft-drinks (Have you ever read the label? What is all that stuff?)  Processed meats: Contain nitrates, nitrites, and nitrosamines- known carcinogens  Pork: No it’s not the other white meat!

 Artificial sweeteners  Preservatives, dyes  Hydrogenated oils

Toxins in our bodies

Every year over 1,000 new chemicals introduced to stockpile of over 70,000 used by chemical industry There are over 600 chemicals detected in the human body that were not present prior to 1900 A growing number of diseases related to escalating chemical exposure Reducing pollutants deters the risk of many chronic diseases including cancer “It’s the dose that makes the poison.”

Ten ways to reduce pollutants

If you eat meat, eat only free-range meat and eggs Eat more organic fruits and vegetables Reduce / eliminate pesticides Peel or wash commercial produce Eat more fiber Drink only purified water Don’t drink tap water Don’t use aluminum, teflon or plastic in cooking Make sure your home is lead-free

Additional de-toxing ideas

      Get lots of fresh air- get out of the building and go for walks, sleep with a window open, keep windows open around the house Get 20 minutes of body sun each day (Avoid 10am – 2pm sun)  Produces the Sunshine Vitamin (D) which has been shown to help prevent cancer Use only natural soaps, cleaners, lotions, deodorants, shampoos Install 5 stage reverse osmosis water purifier under your kitchen sink. Use for drinking and cooking 

Drink LOTS of purified water every day

Install water filters on tubs and showers Use a loofah to scrub your entire body when showering  End shower with 1 – 2 minute cold water rinse

“As a man thinks, so is he.”

More research is showing a strong correlation between physiology and psychology Fact: A negative, stressful attitude weakens the immune system Do Don’t • Have a positive attitude!

• Laugh a lot and out loud (raises white cell count) • Forgive quickly • Have faith • Celebrate life and the good in people • Sweat the small stuff • Hold grudges • Be negative • Look for the bad in others and life • Live in fear

Condition your body with exercise

 In 2005 the Journal of American Medical Association reported that walking just 3 – 5 hours a week could boost a woman’s breast cancer survival rate by 50%  Exercise at least 20 mins 3 days per week by walking or working out:  Reduce anxiety or depression  Reduce fatigue  Reduce risk of heart disease  Improve blood flow  Improve self-esteem

You should sleep on it

 Strive for 8 hours of sleep per day:  While sleeping the body creates melatonin which has anti-oxidant properties  Lack of sleep impacts the body’s ability to create melatonin and cortisol which regulates the activities of the immune system and the cells that fight off cancerous cells
