The little-known nutrient that turns cancer cells back into healthy cells
Recent research suggests that a little-known phytochemical – called apigenin – is a powerful anti-cancer agent. In fact, it can actually transform cancer cells back into healthy cells.
Let me explain…
Your body is protected by a protein called p53 that’s a natural tumor suppressor. Unfortunately, p53 can’t stop cancer on its own. But that’s where apigenin comes in.
In Dr. Fred Pescatore’s Essential Cancer Protocol, he explains that apigenin is able to activate p53. And he adds, “This lowers cancer cells’ resistance to chemotherapy and improves responses to treatment.”
But apigenin fights cancer in another important way…
Dr. Pescatore cites a study that shows how apigenin blocks vascular endothelial growth factor. This prohibits angiogenesis – a technical term for the new blood vessels that tumors grow to feed themselves.
“In other words,” Dr. Pescatore says, “apigenin starves malignant tumors, stopping cancer development.”And there’s even more research to back-up apigenin’s cancer-fighting abilities.
Turning cancer cells back into normal cells
According to another breakthrough study cited by Dr. Pescatore, apigenin restores a normal life cycle to cancer cells – literally, turning cancer cells back into normal cells.
He says, “This gives malignant cells a different set of ‘instructions’ that makes them vulnerable to programmed cell death, when they otherwise wouldn’t be.”
In all these ways, apigenin helps to prevent and treat cancer. But it’s also been shown to reduce the likelihood of cancer recurrence.
Dr. Pescatore cites a study that observed 29 patients who underwent surgery for colon cancer. Of the study group, 15 took a 20 mg apigenin supplement and 14 took a placebo. Four years later, three participants in the placebo group had a recurrence of their cancer, but everyone in the apigenin group remained in remission!
It’s no wonder why Dr. Pescatore calls apigenin “an uncommonly powerful anticancer agent.”
So how can you increase your apigenin levels? Well, it all starts with your diet.
Turn dinnertime into a cancer-defeating, apigenin powerhouse
If you enjoy chamomile tea, indulge all you like because chamomile is a rich source of apigenin. In fact, Dr. Pescatore believes that this tea’s famous calming effect is almost certainly due to its apigenin content.
Meanwhile, be sure to load your grocery cart will plenty of these foods and spices that are also excellent sources of apigenin:
Basil
Beans
Broccoli
Celery
Endive
Leeks
Onions
Oregano
Parsley
Red peppers
Rosemary
Thyme
Tomatoes
As for supplementing with apigenin, Dr. Pescatore has this recommendation: “Swanson currently offers a single-ingredient apigenin product derived from grapefruit. But an alternative is a chamomile extractstandardized for apigenin.”
Dr. Pescatore notes that you can simply follow the dosage recommendation on the products’ labels.
Apigenin is just one of many powerful, natural cancer-fighters that Dr. Pescatore features in his Essential Cancer Protocol.

NATURAL CANCER CURE
By Dr. Jerry Lee Hoover N.D. click here to read more Cancer is a uniquely western problem. One out of three Americans die of cancer, it used to be one out of four.
WHY? FAULTY DIET IS A MAJOR CAUSE In 1979 a special report was issued by the U.S. Surgeon General, citing more than 2,000 scientific studies from around the world, and compiled with the advice of more than 2,000 doctors, nutritionist and biochemists, who concluded that the normal American diet is dangerous. Of the 2.1 million Americans who died that year, the report said that 1.5 million died from diseases associated with diet. The report stressed that most people should reduce the consumption of fat, especially saturated fats, such as from eggs, butter, or untrimmed red meats.
Researchers at the University of Victoria in British Columbia did a careful follow up on 200 persons who underwent a “spontaneous remission of cancer”. They found that 87% of those persons had switched diets, usually to a vegetarian diet.
Recently a link between excessive meat eating and cancer has been explained by Dr. Williard J. Visek a research scientist at Cornell University. The problem, according to Dr. Visek, is ammonia the carcinogenic by-product of meat digestion.
Although cancer is increasing at an alarming rate and it can be prevented, by keeping our body’s immune system up. Much poisoning of the body has been caused by the use of improper foods, such as meat, dairy products, white sugar, white flour, white rice, along with the use of liquor, tobacco, coffee, soda and all other denatured foods. Good wholesome food builds good blood, where as unwholesome foods builds a poor quality of blood. Cancer will not develop where there is a pure blood stream and the body’s immune system is functioning at its optimum.
For years the National Cancer Institute held fast to the principal that diet had nothing to do with cancer. Recent overwhelming evidence has forced them to change their mind. They now even recommend that one consume certain fruits and vegetables in order to prevent cancer. “Fruits, such as oranges and bananas, and leafy green and yellow vegetables, including carrots and broccoli, all contain cancer preventing vitamins and fiber, and should be a part of everyone’s daily diet”, says the National Cancer Institute. To prevent and cure cancer we must keep our body’s immune system high. This is done by following eight simple rules that I will briefly cover here. Lots of fresh air, using lots of pure water, eating lots of wholesome natural foods, getting sufficient rest, moderate daily exercise, getting outside in the sun everyday, being temperate in all we eat and do and having faith in God.
Every one of us has cancer cells within us. Cancer has to be treated by building the body’s immune system then the body’s white blood cells, etc. will attack and destroy the cancer from within. Cancer cells are weaker than normal cells and will not get out of control if our immune system is high.
HOW DO WE FIGHT CANCER There is no one drug, herb, or treatment that will kill cancer. Cancer has to be treated by building the body’s immune system. Listed here are some natural ways to help build the immune system. ELIMINATE SUGAR AND JUNK FOODS Eating white sugar will paralyze and hinder your white blood cells from fighting off an infection. Eating 25 teaspoons of sugar will paralyze 92% of your white blood cells for approximately five hours. The average American eats over 42 teaspoons of sugar per day. For example: A banana split has 24 teaspoons of sugar. A 12 oz coke has approx. 8-10 teaspoons, a piece of white bread 2 teaspoons. It must be remembered that sugar or empty calories and junk foods interfere with the working of the body’s immune system. ELIMINATE HIGH FAT DIET Diets high in refined fats have long been associated with increased cancer risk. Breast cancer is more frequent in women on diets high in both saturated fats, (whole milk), and in animal fat. (2) A low fat diet not only prevents breast cancer but increases the survival of women who already have breast cancer. (3)
EAT A TOTALLY RAW DIET This is or will be the hardest single thing to follow, but it is very important. Only raw fruits, vegetables, nuts and sprouted grains are what you will be eating until your cancer is in remission. Nothing cooked, no cooked beans, bread, potatoes, etc. Sounds tough, but let me tell you this is much easier then taking chemotherapy and having your hair fall out, vomiting, being weak, etc. And , of course chemotherapy will not build up your immune system. Instead it will tear it down. Raw food is live food and possesses the highest nutritive value. It is full of vitamins, mineral, enzymes, phytochemicals, etc. Cooked food is deadfood, plant any seed and it will grow. Cook the seed and then plant it and it will not grow, because it’s life principle has been destroyed. Place cancer cells in a cooked media and they will proliferate. Now place the cancer cells in a raw matter and they will disappear!This astounding fact is known to the Cancer society, but the public was never informed. (4)
HERE ARE SOME RAW FOOD RECIPES
I have asked Mirko to put together some raw food recipes for those who need to be on a raw food diet. Here are just a few of his recipes.
Raw Foods Recipes can be Tasty and Delicious By Creator for Functional Food, Mirko Albrecht, Dipl.-qualified NC.
The base of preparation to “Functional Food” is very simple. A recipe must be tasty, but for me a recipe is more than that. Functional Food are recipes with some “healing” effects but tasty and delicious as well.
The possible benefits of natural Functional Food can be:
– Natural immune support to help fight cancer. – Stress-Relief, esp. chronic stress – Detoxification-support – Improve the liver function – Provide the body with vitamins, minerals, enzymes etc. – Supporting to natural acid-alkaline balance
Our world has many “Healthy Foods” we must just only discover them and with a bit of fantasy we can prepare delicious meals such as dips for vegetables or fruits sticks, sweet desserts.
Here are a few simple raw food recipes that one can try.
RAW SOUP
2 cups of water 2 or 3 tomatoes salt 1 onion 6 teaspoons parsley 2 to 4 teaspoons celery Bend all the ingredients together
ALMOND MILK
Soak raw unroasted almonds overnight in water Blend in the morning just before you use it. Ratio of almond to water depends upon how concentrated you like your almond milk.
SALAD DRESSING
1/4 avaocado 1/2 cup water salt 1 teaspoon fine chopped onion 4 to 6 teaspoons chopped parsley 1/2 fine chopped tomatoe Mix avocado, water, salt and parsley together then add fine chopped tomatoe and onion.
FRUIT SMOOTHIE
Put in blender fresh or frozen strawberries or fresh fruit of your choice 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla Raw Almond Milk Option (3 tablespoons of raw honey) Blend and enjoy
SPROUTING GRAINS OR SEEDS
You can get all the information on sprouting by going to http://www.google.com and write in sprouting foods.Sprouted foods are the freshest and most nutritious of all. They are full of enzymes, and a higher percentage of vitamins and minerals and they are raw.
WHEAT GRASS JUICE
Wheat Grass juice is the very best for cancer. You take some soil put it on a flat pan and plant wheat on it, keep it watered and in a few days you will have wheat grass. Then cut the grass put it in the blender with some water and blend it all up then strain it and drink it, it will be sweet. You can let the grass grow again and give it a second cutting, after that you need to start all over again with new wheat. Many people think you need to buy a special juicer which causes the juice to be to concentrated and hard to drink, all you need is a blender.
DO NOT EAT BETWEEN MEALS A Swedish study indicated the frequency of snack eating may be related to the risk of colon cancer.Earlier, largely ignored studies have suggested that each eating episode over the course of the day increases colon cancer risk. Regular meal intake did not seem to produce the same risk as did snack consumption. (Cancer Causes and Control3: 77-81,1992)
DRINK ONE TO THREE GLASSES OF CARROT JUICE DAILY Carrots are a very good source of Vitamin A, and the juice should be taken 15-30 minutes before your vegetable meal. A recent study done by Dr. Raymond J. Shamberger, Professor of the Dept. of Biochemistry, the Cleveland Clinic, Ohio, showed that Vitamin A is one of the most important aids
to the body’s defense system fighting and preventing cancer. When subjected to carcinogens, this vitamin has a remarkable ability to inhibit the introduction and or retard the growth of both malignant and non-malignant tumors.
DRINK PLENTY OF PURE SOFT WATER How much is plenty? It depends upon how much you weigh, you take your weight, divide it in half and that is how many ounces of water you need in a 24 hour period. Of course if you are working out in the hot sun and perspiring a lot you would need more. For example: you weigh 160 lbs. Half of that is 80 so you need 80 ounces, which would be 10 eight ounce glasses. The type of water we need to drink is soft water, that is water that has no minerals, as the minerals in water are inorganic and are harmful to our health. Where as the minerals in food are organic and our body needs this type of minerals. Two types of water that have no minerals are distilled water and reverse-osmosis water.
TAKE DAILY SUNBATHS Expose as much of the body to the sun. If you have a light complexion start with ten minutes and gradually increase it to a minimum of one hour a day. While sun bathing use no lotions, sunscreens (they can cause cancer), or oils. Do not wear glasses while sun bathing as it is important for the ultraviolet light to get into the eyes, and glass of any kind will keep the rays out. Interferon is effective against several different kinds of cancer including carcinoma, sarcoma and leukemia. This fact spurred the American Cancer Society; to purchase interferon from Finland for experimental use. Dr. Hans Strander of Finland discovered that he could give interferon to terminal bone cancer patients and double the number of long-term disease free survivors. White blood cells in our bodies manufacture this wonderful interferon that can help so dramatically in cancer.Sunlight is a great stimulus for increased white blood cell production and thereby increases the production of interferon.
BARE FEET ON THE SOIL EVERY DAY Everything on this earth has an electrical frequency, the earth, the seeds, the plants animals, and the human body. Cancer cells have a different electrical frequency than normal cells. Our bodies can easily get off the electrical frequency that they are supposed to be on. How can we get it back on track? Very simply, by standing or walking bare foot in the soil.Wearing shoes is not a natural thing, although we need to protect our feet, as shoes insulate our body from the earth so it would be good to spend at least 10 minutes a day outside barefoot in the soil.
GET PLENTY OF FRESH AIR Deep breathing of fresh outside negatively charged air, (the good kind), helps cleanse the lungs and increase circulation. Fresh air from the ocean, near a river or waterfall or after a rainstorm is not only negatively charged but is high in oxygen which is very beneficial for cancer. Be sure to have plenty of fresh air in your bedroom as you sleep, keep a window open, even in the winter the window should be partially open. A fact worth knowing is that cancer cells cannot live in the presence of oxygen. (6)
EXERCISE OUT OF DOORS Brisk Walking is a good form of exercise, but not jogging, as the impact of jogging is harmful to all the joints of the body. Bicycling and swimming are two other good exercises. Exercising in a gym is not ideal as there is no fresh air, its like exercising in a dirty shoe. One of my favorite authors stated that exercise outside in the fresh air and sunshine is ten times more beneficial then indoor exercise. I believe the best piece of exercise equipment one can use is a regular or mini trampoline. By jumping on a trampoline you are exercising everyone of the trillions of cells in your body. Use it from one to three times daily for a minimum of 3 minutes or longer each time. This exercise is especially good for anyone who has cancer of the lymphatic system.
GET 7-8 HOURS SLEEP EVERY NIGHT The earlier you go to bed the better. Every hour of sleep before midnight is worth two hours, every hour after midnight is worth one.
USE HERBS There are many herbs for cancer, but the one I highly recommend is Red Clover. You use only the flower, not the stem or roots.Red clover contains the following chemicals: biotin, choline, copper, coumarins, glycosides, inositol, magnesium, manganese, and selenium. It also contains vitamins: A, B1, B3, B5, B6, B9, B12, B17, C, P and the mineral Zinc. This is quite an assortment of minerals and vitamins for one herb. And possibly in the future we will discover it contains other important ingredients. Red Clover has been used in America for over 100 years to treat and prevent cancer. It is good for cancer on any part of the body. I have personally used it for many years at my clinic and have seen many individuals recover from cancer.
Use only the bulk red clover flowers, not the stem or roots, use no red clover capsules. Make a tea by bringing the water to a boil, removing from the heat and adding the herb. Let it steep for 20 minutes or longer. Use one to two teaspoons of herb per cup of tea. The best time to take the tea is at night before bed on an empty stomach. If you take it twice a day then also first thing in the morning when you first get up on an empty stomach.
You can order the herb Red Clover from Frontier Herbs on line at www.frontierherbs.com
Red Clover is now being studied for anti-aids and anti-diabetic activity. (7)
Many of you who have contacted me have mentioned that you were unable to purchase the herb Red Clover as it does not grow in your country. If that case I suggest you go to a reliable herbalist in your country and find out what herb he uses for cancer and use it. As there are many herbs for cancer as God in His wisdom made many different herbs for the many different countries He created.
INFORMATION FOR THOSE WHO HAVE BREAST CANCER When one has breast cancer they need to improve the circulation of the blood flowing through the breast. Two ways to do this is daily massaging the breasts and the other way is through hydro therapy. You fill two pans with water one with very hot water the other with very cold water containing ice cubes. You start by wringing out a wash cloth in the hot water and applying it to the breast and than covering it with a dry towel, leave it on the breast for 3 minutes. Than remove the wash cloth and apply a wash cloth that has been taken out of the ice water, apply it to the breast for only ONE minute and cover with a dry towel. You need to do this three times in a row. First hot than cold than hot than cold than hot than the last application is cold. What this does is that when you apply the hot water it draws the blood to the breast, when you apply the cold water it chases the blood from the breast. This is a very efficient way to improve the circulation in the breast, this improved circulation helps to carry away the toxins in the breast and will also start breaking down the cancer and carrying it away.
You should use no deodorants, as they are one of the causes of breast cancer, most breast cancers are located in the area of the breast near the armpit. Under your arm you have major lymph glands, and when you use deodorants, which contain aluminum and other toxic ingredients, they can enter the lymph system. The antiperspirant deodorants are the most harmful as they block the skin pores from sweating out the impurities in the body, so they are re absorbed into the body and breast area.
Also using any type of milk, eggs or dairy productsare another cause of breast cancer, as these are high in artificially added hormones that can increase cancer of the breast and female organs. Also birth control pills are another cause of cancer of the breast and female organs.
COLON CANCER Colon cancer is one of the most common cancers in the U.S. It is the third leading cause of cancer deathfor both men and women in the U.S. Health experts estimate that about 70% of colon cancers could be prevented by changes in diet and nutrition. People who regularly eat red meat and processed meat have a greater chance of developing colon cancer.
There is an inheritance risk of approx. 50% for both males and females. When a parent carries a genetic predisposition, each child has a 50% chance of inheriting the predisposition. If you have been diagnosed with colon cancer and someone in your immediate family has had colon cancer then my recommendation is for you to have the surgery to remove the cancer, since it is genetic and many times the body’s immune system will not try to destroy the cancer because the body believes it belongs there. But under no circumstances do I recommend chemo or radiation before or after the surgery. On the other hand if no one in your immediate family has had colon cancer then I would first follow the diet, etc. I recommend and see if it reduces and disappears.
LEARN TO DEAL WITH STRESS Almost everyone I have personally known, who has come down with cancer, has been under a lot of stress prior to getting cancer. We must learn to take the problems we cannot handle to God, (The Greatest Healer Of All Time). We cannot hold anger, hate, selfishness, etc. inside ourselves or we will not recover. The mind greatly affects the body. I believe that 90% of all sickness starts in the mind. King Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived said, “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine”, Proverbs 17:22
WHAT CANCER CAN’T DO It cannot cripple Love, It cannot shatter hope, It cannot corrode faith, It cannot eat away at peace, It cannot destroy confidence, It cannot kill friendship, It cannot shut out memories, It cannot silence courage, It cannot evade the soul. It cannot reduce eternal life,
IN CONCLUSION If a person who has cancer follows the simple things I have outlined in this article they will notice improvement within less then two weeks, the closer you follow this program the faster you will improve. JUST THINK, it is possible for you to heal yourself, you do not always need surgery or expensive dangerous drugs. All you need to do is follow what I have outlined here.

The Love of God is Expressed through His Bountiful Beauty.
The Beauty manifested in Nature, transports one’s Heart to the Angelic Realms and gives Healing as it soothes the Soul and eases the mind.
His Beautiful Expressions of Love transition us into a deep, restorative state of Being. And it is where we belong.
God has Promised his Precious Children, His Love. And His Love has taken on so many different forms and meanings. . Regardless of the message, you, yourself, interpret it. That is part of the Beauty.
The lyrics from the Bee Gees music “How Deep Is Your Love” are quite revealing: “Cause we’re living in a world of fools, breaking us down, when they all should let us be!” . These words perfectly describe the very mad World we’re all living in today.
My Dear Friends, take a few precious moments each Day to feel the Holy Spirit that dwells deep within you. . God has been so very good.
There is Amazing Grace for those who will come and take of the Water of Life freely.
Be Grateful for the precious Time and the Love put into you. . Thank the Lord for the many wonderful Blessings of Life and Love and the many moments of Bliss.
Our Natural World is wonderful, stunning and Beautiful. It is delightful and Peaceful. Hope, Joy, Peace and Love is what you feel when you become aware of God’s Love.
Thank you to the Composer of Life and Love. Our Sacred Lord Devotes His Great Love, for us all.
Goodnight.
Scientists Admit You Can Overcome Cancer With 10 Natural Cancer Cures click here to read more
A recent study by University of Manchester scientists has strongly suggested that…cancer is a modern, man-made disease caused by environmental factors such as pollution and diet.
In the extensive study conducted at the University’s KNH Centre for Biomedical Egyptology, scientists examined hundreds of mummies and found…no signs of cancer – except for one isolated case.
Professor Michael Zimmerman said: “In an ancient society lacking surgical intervention, evidence of cancer should remain in all cases.” Therefore, the virtual absence of tumors and malignancies in mummies must necessarily be interpreted as evidence that cancer was indeed rare in ancient times.
The 17th Century Ushers Cancer In
It wasn’t until the 17th century that the first reports of cancer appeared in scientific literature – such as cancer of the scrotum (found in chimney sweeps in 1775, caused by soot particles); and nasal cancer found in users of snuff (finely ground tobacco) in 1761.
The University of Manchester study indicates that cancer-causing factors exist only in modern, industrialized societies – and cancer is fueled by the excesses of modern life.
The food you eat…the air you breathe…the clothes you wear…the water you drink…the personal care products you use…the medications you take…the water you bathe in…virtually everything you consume, and everything you do – or are exposed to – causes cancer these days!
Here are Just a Few Factors Present in Modern Life That Cause Cancer:
• Tobacco (including second-hand and third-hand smoke)
• Genetically modified food
• Most laundry detergents
• Commercial hair dyes
• Air pollution (including carbon monoxide, methylene chloride, and acrolein)
• Granite counter-tops (which emit radon)
• Rancid peanuts and seeds
• Canola oil
• Canned tomatoes
• Food laced with pesticides
• Chemicals from aerosol cans
• Mammograms
• X-Rays
• Food microwaved in plastic containers (including plastic wrap, the plastic trays that come with frozen TV dinners, and even plastic baby bottles)
• Environmental pollutants (such as asbestos, benzene, and formaldehyde)
Professor Rosalie David, at the Faculty of Life Sciences, said: There is nothing in the natural environment that can cause cancer…so it has to be a man-made disease.
Given the prevalence of cancer-causing factors in the modern world, what can you do to escape cancer?
Many scientists agree that a healthy diet…regular physical activity…and maintaining a healthy weight can prevent about one-third of the most common cancers.
But…eating healthy is not a guarantee that you’ll never get cancer. Even those who think they have a healthy diet are not immune to cancer.
Consider the case of Linda McCartney, the late wife of Paul McCartney. She was a life-long vegetarian, who also wrote a book on vegetarian cooking and produced a line of frozen vegetarian meals. Yet, despite her healthy eating, she died of breast cancer at the age of 56.
Regular physical activity – although definitely a healthy thing to do – is not a guarantee either. Consider Lance Armstrong, 7-time Tour de France cycling champion. He engaged in more physical activity than most people, and yet he was diagnosed with Stage 2 testicular cancer.
Maintaining a healthy weight also does not assure you of immunity from cancer. Many physically fit celebrities have fallen prey to cancer – Patrick Swayze, Jaclyn Smith, Robert Urich, Suzanne Somers, Farrah Fawcett, Ryan O’Neal, to name a few.
Extraordinary Natural Cancer Cures
In the years I’ve spent as Editor of Underground Health Reporter eAlert, I’ve written about dozens of cancer cures that are stunningly effective. From among them, I’ve compiled the cures that have been consistently hailed by alternative health practitioners as “the best of the best.”
A gold-colored spice derived from the ginger family reverses the growth of cancer cells by 98%, and rivals the effectiveness of chemotherapy (page 16)
When the cancer-fighting properties of this spice were first discovered by Western medicine, an American pharmaceutical company tried to patent it in order to rake in millions of dollars in profits. Health practitioners from India were OUTRAGED, considering they have been using this herb for thousands of years to heal cancer and treat major diseases.
formula that kills virtually 100% of cancer cells within 48 hours (page 32)
Dick’s esophageal cancer surgery left him with septic shock, two staph infections, and a metastasized cancer recurrence two years later. Radiation reduced his cancer by about 55% but couldn’t eliminate it completely. But after six months on this anti-cancer formula, a bronchial scope and CT scan showed no cancer in Dick’s esophagus or trachea!
A 4-herb tea that reduces pain and causes a recession in cancer growth in patients suffering from pathologically proven cancer (page 72)
A compound from the bark of a little-known fruit tree is the only cancer treatment that destroys drug-resistant—and chemo-resistant—cancer cells. It’s 10,000 times more effective than a commonly used cancer drug—and no, it’s not graviola.
Over the course of 20 years, and with the help of a $5 million dollar fund established by the NCI, the Professor Emeritus of Pharmacognosy at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, has proven the viability of this natural extract as an effective cancer treatment.
Two inexpensive food items combined together in specific proportions are proven by numerous independent clinical studies to even the most advanced cancers—90% cure rate (page 96)
A Chinese healing practice that dissolves a cancer patient’s orange-sized tumor in 40 seconds (page 113)
There are hundreds of health practitioners who specialize in this healing practice in the U.S. and many parts of the world. In one study, cancer cells were cultivated in Petri dishes. Masters of this healing practice emitted healing energy upon them and instantly killed all the cancer cells in the Petri dishes.
A medicinal mushroom that is proven by a National Institutes of Health study to cure cancer— especially breast cancer(page 115)
A natural substance that creates an oxygen-rich environment in the body which causes cancerous tumors to shrink—and inhibits the growth of other tumors, as well as pathogens, viruses and harmful bacteria (page 57)
A vegetable with such powerful cancer-fighting properties that many natural health practitioners claim that it could be sold as a prescription drug (page 86)
An “eleventh hour” cancer remedy made from the juice of cereal grasses proves effective in curing advanced terminal cancer (page 126)
According to the American Cancer Society, 41% of all adults will develop cancer in their lifetimes…or die from it! That’s 4 out of 10…or 2 out of 5 people.
In fact, you might already have undiagnosed cancer right now…and not even know it.
Whether you or a loved one already suffers from cancer…or you fear that cancer might strike you or your family one day, you must know that we have helped many thousands of cancer patients reclaim their health and their lives.

Goodnight. The Power of Deep Thinking: Essence of Creativity
What was your answer to the question above? Did you quickly fire off an answer or did you have to think about it and then think about it some more?
Imagine for a moment that you could put on a set of inverted goggles and see the world through an entirely different lens. On one hand, you would literally see differently, but you might not view the world differently. If we look deep enough and allow ourselves to observe from a new lens, we will. Thomas S. Kuhn remarked in The Structure of Scientific Revolutions,[1]
“What a man sees depends upon what he looks at and also upon what his previous visual conceptual experience has taught him to see.”
The power of deep thinking is the essence of creativity. By learning how to think differently and deep, you will find that it is not only your creative thinking, but your critical thinking skills that vastly improve. This leads to higher levels of thinking and powerful problem-solving skills that you simply did not have before.
Let’s take a look at what deep thinking is, why you should learn about it, and what it will do for you.
How Do You Know That You Know the Stuff You Think You Know?
Have you heard the saying, the more you know the less you know? If you haven’t, take a moment and think about that phrase. By looking at the Theory of Knowledge, we can pose the following question: How do you know that you know the stuff you think you know?
Let’s look at an example. Solve the following: 2 + 2 = ?
I am hoping you answered 4! Yet, let’s take a look at another way to look at this. In Plato and Platypus Walk into a Barby Thomas Cathcart and Daniel Klein, we find the following story.
A western anthropologist is told by a Voohooni that 2 + 2 = 5. The anthropologist asks him how he knows this. The tribesman says,
“By counting, of course. First, I tie two knots in a cord. Then I tie two knots in another cord. When I join the two cords together, I have five knots.” .
Deep Thinking Is Thinking About Thinking
Rene Descartes famously stated, “Cogito ergo sum” or “I think, therefore I am” where he believed thinking as the essential characteristic of being Human.
In Why the World Doesn’t Seem to Make Sense, Steve Hagen discussed that Descartes arrived at the cogito through an experiment in radical doubt to discover if there was anything he could be certain of; that is, anything that he could not doubt away.[2] Hagen commented,
“He started out by doubting the existence of the external world. Then he tried doubting his own existence. But doubt as he would, he kept coming up against the fact that there was a doubter. Must be himself! He could not doubt his own doubting.”
Essentially, Metacognition is awareness of one’s awareness. It is thinking about thinking or cognition about cognition.
Meta means Beyond
Cognition means Thinking
Thus, Metacognition means Beyond Thinking.
To be aware, it refers to the ability of the mind to stand back and watch itself in action. Here, we are able to examine the way we learn, remember, and think. The knowledge of how we process information gives us the opportunity to change how we process it. [3]
Can We Really Know What Anything Is?
Hagen poses the following question in his book Why the World Doesn’t Seem to Make Sense: Here it is, but what is it? Do we truly know what something is?
Hagen remarks,
When we try to answer this, have we merely answered the question “how do we conceive of it?” or “what do we call it?” Some deeper question remains.
For example, if I say, “Here, in this cup, is water,” you may ask, “What is water?” But as scientists we might wish to point out, “Water is hydrogen and oxygen.” Thus, by using scientific methods it seems we can discover what water is “made of.”
With confidence we say, “What is really in this cup is hydrogen and oxygen, combined and transformed into this unique substance we call ‘water’.” But the questions continue.
Hagen concludes, “What is hydrogen? What is oxygen? And so we look again, using scientific methods, and say, “Hydrogen is an element made of atoms, each consisting of a single proton and a single electron.”
But still the questions remain: what are atoms? What are protons and electrons? It seems that we’ve started on a never-ending regression. At no time do we ever really get to the other end of the question: “What is water?” We can name the mind object, even break it down and name its parts, but we still don’t really answer the question.”
Reading this passage leaves me to ask myself: can we ever really know what anything is? Let’s look at another example from Hagen.
He illustrates just how strange our world is through the conversation between a physicist and a philosopher:
Physicist: …and so we conclude an electron is a particle.
Philosopher: But you also claim an electron is a wave.
Physicist: Yes, it’s also a wave.
Philosopher: But surely, not if it’s a particle.
Physicist: We say it’s both wave and particle.
Philosopher: But that’s a contradiction, obviously.
Physicist: Are you then saying it’s neither wave nor particle?
Philosopher: No, I’m asking what you mean by “it.”
A Gap in the Stream of Consciousness
You might be wondering what the difference is between Metacognition and Cognition.
Cognition. This is the process of acquiring knowledge for understanding. Cognition is thinking.
Metacognition. This relies on awareness and control of cognitive processes. Metacognition will help you find gaps in your learning and thinking. However, you must have acquired some previous knowledge about a topic prior to Metacognition. As mentioned earlier, Metacognition goes beyond just thinking… it is thinking about thinking.
Now that you have an understanding of the fundamental principle behind deep thinking, let’s take a look at how to develop it.
In the book The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle,[4] we learn the following lessons.
Constantly Observe Your Mind Without Judging Your Thoughts
Here we should ask one simple question, “What will my next thought be?” Try it. Can you think of your next thought? Probably not.
By continually asking this question, you can delay the arrival of your next thought. This is due to what is called the quantum zeno effect, where we can freeze our current state by observing it. Essentially, there can be no change while you are watching it.
Life Is Simply a Series of Present Moments
Here we are informed that the past is simply all the present moments that have gone by. Tolle posits that the only important time is the present, for which we think about the least. Furthermore, the present is simply future present moments waiting to go by.
Imagine leaving your body and watching yourself think. Think of this as a mental movie where your goal is not to judge the actors, but to simply observe them.
Tolle refers to entering into the Now or the Present as creating a gap in the stream of mind. Asking yourself the question “What will my next thought be?” creates that gap and allows you to dis-identify from your mind. Once you do this, you have elevated yourself above thought. This is Enlightenment.
Stages of Deep Thinking
Before we look at strategies you can use to become a deep thinker, let’s briefly look at the stages of deep thinking known as the Three Levels of Thought. [5]
Level 1: Lower Order Thinking. The individual is not reflective, has a low to mixed skill level, and relies solely on gut intuition.
Level 2: Higher Order Thinking. The individual is selective on what to reflect on, has a high skill level, yet lacks critical thinking vocabulary.
Level 3: Highest Order Thinking. The individual is explicitly reflective, has the highest skill level, and routinely uses critical thinking tools.
Strategies to Become a Deep Thinker
To enter into the Highest Order Thinking, try the following strategies.
Increase Self-Awareness by Thinking About Thinking
Imagine you could become aware of how you learn. We know that we must have a baseline of previous knowledge about something to use Metacognition.Think of your Intelligence as what you think and Metacognition as how you think. Let’s look at a series of questions you can ask yourself by using the Elements of Thought.[6]
Purpose. What am I trying to accomplish?
Questions: What question am I raising or addressing? Am I considering the complexities in the question?
Information: What information am I using to get to my conclusion.
Inferences: How did I reach this conclusion? Is there another way to interpret the information?
Concepts: What is the main idea? Can I explain this idea?
Assumptions: What am I taking for granted?
Implications: If someone accepted my position, what would the implications be?
Points of View. From what point of view am I looking at this issue? Is there another point of view I should consider?
Challenge Current Learning Methods Through Meta-Questions
Meta-Questioning is higher order questions we can use to explore ideas and problems. Here are some examples.
Why did it happen?
Why was it true?
How does X relate to Y?
Why is reasoning based on X instead of Y?
Are there other possibilities?
Let’s look at a practical example.
When you say: “I can’t do this.” Change this to: “What specifically can I not do?”
You say: “I can’t exercise.” Then ask: “What is stopping me?”
You say: “I don’t have time.” Now ask yourself: “What needs to happen for me to start exercising?”
You discover: “What time wasters can I eliminate in order to create more time to exercise?”
Then imagine how you could start exercising: “If I could exercise, how would I do it?”
View the World Through Different Lens
Here is a technique you can use to foster a deeper understanding of a problem—Four Ways of Seeing:
How does X view itself?
How does Y view itself?
How does X view Y?
How does Y view X?
Try to apply the technique like this: suppose we are in the United States looking at a foreign country. First, draw four boxes, then list the questions. Second, start answering the questions.
In box #1 ask: “How do we see the United States?”
Box #2: “How does China see themselves?”
Box #3: “How does China see the United States?”
Box #4: “How do you see them?”
Thought Experiments
One last technique you can use to become a deep thinker —Thought Experiments. This is a device of the imagination used to investigate the nature of just about anything. [7] Thought Experiments seek to learn about reality through thinking:
Visualize a situation and set it up in your imagination.
Let it run or carry out some type of operation.
See what happens.
Draw a conclusion.
The team at Stanford describes this using the following example: Since the time of Lucretius, we’ve learned how to conceptualize space so that it is both finite and unbounded. Let’s see how this Thought Experiment can work.
Imagine a circle, which is a one-dimensional space.
As we move around, there is no edge, but it is nevertheless finite.
What can you conclude? The universe might be a three-dimensional version of this topology.
Think Deep, and You Will Think Creatively
Thinking deep will change how you think, feel, and view the world. When you understand this concept, you will start to think beyond simple beliefs.
“When the root is Deep… There is no reason to fear the wind.”
Deep Thinking will change how you think, feel, and view the world. When you understand this concept, you will start to think beyond simple beliefs.
By applying all the skills mentioned in this article, you will be able to think deeper and explore more possibilities.

NOBEL PRIZE WINNER, DR. OTTO WARBURG: IGNORE THE ‘WARBURG EFFECT’ AT YOUR OWN PERIL!
“Cancer is a complex disease and occurs when cells in the body begin to grow chaotically. The mass of extra cells forms a growth or tumor. Cells in malignant tumors are abnormal and divide without control or order. These cancer cells can invade and destroy the tissue around them. In a process called metastasis, cancerous cells break away from the organs on which they are growing and travel to other parts of the body, where they continue to grow. Cells from cancerous ovaries, for example, commonly spread to the abdomen and nearby internal organs.
Eventually, they travel throughout the body by invading the two systems of vessels that bathe and feed all of the body’s organs; the bloodstream and lymph system. Before a PET/CT scan, the patient receives an intravenous injection of radioactive glucose. Many cancer cells are highly metabolic and rapidly synthesize the radioactive glucose.
Information regarding the location of abnormal levels of radioactive glucose obtained from the whole-body PET/CT scan helps physicians effectively pinpoint the source of cancer and detect whether cancer is isolated to one specific area or has spread to other organs.” Cherry-picked from PetScanInfo.com (What is Cancer?). Also realize that CT & PET SCANS are huge causes of cancer in and of themselves.
Alfred Nobel grew up in a family of scientists and inventors in Sweden (his father invented plywood in the late 1830’s), becoming a scientist and scholar himself. Known mostly for taking extremely unstable nitroglycerin, and turning it into stable dynamite (yes, Nobel invented dynamite), he actually held over 350 patents, amassing a massive fortune along the way.
Never having married; when he died in 1896, his fortune — estimated to be in the hundreds of millions of dollars — was put into a trust created for a very specific purpose. A group was formed to control these funds, doling out significant amounts of money to the winners nominated by those believing them to be at the top of their field in chemistry, physics, literature, medicine and, and of course peace. The first prizes were awarded in 1901.
Otto Warburg was born in Germany in 1883. He rapidly showed his mettle in academics, working in the fields of chemistry, cell biology, biochemistry, and physiology, earning his MD degree in 1911. He moved rapidly up the ladder of academia, and by 1918 (the end of WWI) had been appointed a professor at Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Biology, where his chief work was on tumor metabolism and respiration (he would have achieved this sooner had he not served in Germany’s most elite cavalry unit during ‘The Great War’).
Although it is said that he would have earned a second Nobel Prize if he had not been part of Hitler’s Germany (he was actually part Jewish), he won the prize in 1931 (he was nominated 46 times in his career). What did Dr. Warburg discover that was so incredible — worthy of a Nobel Prize? He figured out that blood sugar (glucose) is Cancer’s meal-of-choice.
According to an article in the November, 2010 issue of Clinical Orthopedics and Related Research (Biographical Sketch: Otto Heinrich Warburg, PhD, MD), Warburg was speaking to a group of other Nobel Laureates when he said…..
“Cancer, above all other diseases, has countless secondary causes. But, even for cancer, there is only one prime cause. Summarized in a few words, the prime cause of cancer is the replacement of the respiration of oxygen in normal body cells by a fermentation of sugar. All normal body cells meet their energy needs by respiration of oxygen, whereas cancer cells meet their energy needs in great part by fermentation.
All normal body cells are thus obligate aerobes, whereas all cancer cells are partial anaerobes. From the standpoint of the physics and chemistry of life this difference between normal and cancer cells is so great that one can scarcely picture a greater difference. Oxygen gas, the donor of energy in plants and animals is dethroned in the cancer cells and replaced by an energy yielding reaction of the lowest living forms, namely, a fermentation of glucose.”
Basically, Warburg realized that cancer cells shared a universal characteristic — they were hypoxic (low levels of O2), requiring them to find another source of fuel. Instead of cancer cells going through normal cell respiration using oxygen, they respired anerobically by fermenting glucose and destroying MITOCHONDRIAL ACTIVITY. By the end of his life he believed and taught that this was the result of exposure to toxicity —- POLLUTION, CHEMICAL TOXICITY, RADIATION, INFLAMMATORY METABOLITES, microbes run amok (we would today call these OCCULT INFECTIONS or “DYSBIOSIS“), as well as ACIDITY.
Although the body will do everything in it’s power to maintain HOMEOSTASIS as far as pH is concerned, hyper-acidity tends to lead to cancer, while cancer leads to a state of hyper-acidity (see the final link in the previous paragraph). It is my belief that the primary area of manifestation is not necessarily the blood, as the body will not let the blood move out of an extremely narrow range of pH without dire consequences (death).
This acidity is undoubtedly, however, affecting our GUT HEALTH and MICROBIOMES. Tomorrow (or whenever I get it done), I’ll show you how MEDICATIONS are one of the chief ways we are toxifying our bodies. The resultant toxicity is related almost every health issue you can name, including CANCER (HERE’S ONE OF THE MORE COMMON ONES).
As Warburg got older (he lived to the ripe old age of 86, working the entire time — not unlike DR. SEYFRIED), the journal mentioned earlier revealed that he took his message of toxicity, and pH control to heart. “In his later life, he apparently became somewhat eccentric regarding his eating habits, insisting on organic foods long before the current trend, even taking his own produce to restaurants.” What should this tell you?
It is imperative that even though neither your doctors nor most of the medical research community give a flip about Otto Warburg’s discoveries the better part of a century ago, you had better grasp their implications if you care about your health and the health of your family. It’s why even though Mayo and MD Anderson have publicly denounced the “Sugar / Cancer”connection (HERE), you would do well not to make the same mistake.
It’s also why according to peer-review, one of the hottest ways of eating as far as cancer is concerned is the KETOGENIC DIET. Never forget that sugar not only feeds cancer (HERE), it feeds infection as well(HERE). And if you’ll click the KD link two lines above, you’ll see that it’s also being used to treat a vast array of other diseases associated with mitochondrial dysfunction (MS, Type II Diabetes, ALS, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, etc).
Leverage Your Knowledge of the Warburg Effect to Aid in Whatever Cancer Treatment You Choose!
Chronic illness (cancer included) is a colossal bummer. Here’s the thing folks; if Dr. Warburg was correct, there are steps that can be taken to keep yourself healthy. The truth is, it’s a whole lot easier to prevent cancer than to try and kick it once it’s there.
This post goes a long way towards giving you preventative solutions. I’ve incorporated some of his principles into THIS PROTOCOL. No, it’s not a cure for cancer. But the results can be amazing nonetheless (HERE).

True Love is a wonderful thing. It is the Essence of Life.
How fragile the Thread of Life. How delicate The Dance of the Living, How Beautiful The Heart Of the Loving.
Gossamer and fine, The threads that bind All things Living, While I, In the Sheltered Arms Of God, Am sleeping. . We are bound to our bodies with the fragile threads Of this Earth. And threads of Love Connect us to each other.
“The strongest Love is the Love that can demonstrate its fragility.” – Paulo Coelho
Brightly shinning As our Star, Only God can make Life Endless day Of endless night, Bringing near What is afar.
In the whisper Of raindrops Falling ever so gently Upon my window, As the birds In their Trees Are comfort seeking, And dreaming Of singing In the bright morning Light, My Heart also hears Comforting Words, Found only In the Loving Nurture Of God’s Nature, From One Who Truly Blesses This Life, Who Anoints our Sacred Soil With His Tears of Love that Fall, To sustain the fragile Threads of Life, And Birth the Dignity Of us all.
I cannot imagine A more Beautiful, A more comforting Way For you to know That God Truly Loves you, Than to listen To the Perfection of Song In the silence of the night, And feel His Spirit so Strong, As your Soul Takes Flight.
“So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is Eternal.” – 2 Corinthians 4:18

My Precious Friends, When Life has seemingly Lost all meaning, To God’s Thoughts be listening, And free you shall become By the Precious Words, Kind and Compassionate, A Sacred Call From the Voice of One Who Loves us all.
And as Hope In a Heartbeat returns, You are set free By the One Who shall not look Through you, But see within, To find the Heart In which He Dwells. . For He is There, Waiting Patiently For you To discover All the Love Alive in you, His Love, To give To someone else In need.
For Love Comes not from you, But Through you From God above.
“Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Though they are red as crimson, they shall be white like wool.” – Isaiah 1:18
In the moment I feel The Spirit of God In me, I Glimpse Eternity.
Gently close your tired eyes, Dim the Lights of this Life, Forgo the moment, The confusion Of so much illusion, And softly whisper A simple Prayer, For He is There.
God Holds you In Warm Embrace. Look no further Than your precious Heart. He is there, And everywhere.
“Heavenly Father, are you really there? And do you hear and answer Every Child’s Prayer? Some say that Heaven is far away, But I feel it close around me as I Pray.” – Janice Kapp Perry
Yes, Life is a fragile thread, Like the light of a candle, That can flicker away, Like the reality of dreams We remember not. Any gust of wind, Even a whisper, Ill or not, Can make the flame Of Life sway And go away.
Who knows what lies In Tomorrow. We have not the vision To see, Save the blending Of Joy and many a sorrow In a fragile dance, Of Hearts ever mending.
“God is Light, and in Him is no darkness at all.” – 1 John 1:5
A Life of fulfillment We find In coming to know That God is Light, In Gracefully Forgiving What is wrong, And humbly accepting What is right.
Goodnight.
The Ketogenic Diet: A Detailed Beginner’s Guide to Keto
Here is a detailed beginner’s guide to the keto diet.
What is a ketogenic diet?
Keto basics
The ketogenic diet is a very low carb, high fat diet that shares many similarities with the Atkins and low carbdiets.
It involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake and replacing it with fat. This reduction in carbs puts your body into a metabolic state called ketosis.
When this happens, your body becomes incredibly efficient at burning fat for energy. It also turns fat into ketones in the liver, which can supply energy for the brain (6Trusted Source).
Ketogenic diets can cause significant reductions in blood sugar and insulin levels. This, along with the increased ketones, has some health benefits (6Trusted Source, 7Trusted Source, 8Trusted Source).
SUMMARY
The keto diet is a low carb, high fat diet. It lowers blood sugar and insulin levels and shifts the body’s metabolism away from carbs and toward fat and ketones.
Different types of ketogenic diets
There are several versions of the ketogenic diet, including:
Standard ketogenic diet (SKD): This is a very low carb, moderate protein and high fat diet. It typically contains 70% fat, 20% protein, and only 10% carbs (9Trusted Source).
Cyclical ketogenic diet (CKD): This diet involves periods of higher carb refeeds, such as 5 ketogenic days followed by 2 high carb days.
Targeted ketogenic diet (TKD): This diet allows you to add carbs around workouts.
High protein ketogenic diet: This is similar to a standard ketogenic diet, but includes more protein. The ratio is often 60% fat, 35% protein, and 5% carbs.
However, only the standard and high protein ketogenic diets have been studied extensively. Cyclical or targeted ketogenic diets are more advanced methods and primarily used by bodybuilders or athletes.
The information in this article mostly applies to the standard ketogenic diet (SKD), although many of the same principles also apply to the other versions.
SUMMARY
There are several versions of the keto diet. The standard (SKD) version is the most researched and most recommended.
What is ketosis?
Ketosis is a metabolic state in which your body uses fat for fuel instead of carbs.
It occurs when you significantly reduce your consumption of carbohydrates, limiting your body’s supply of glucose (sugar), which is the main source of energy for the cells.
Following a ketogenic diet is the most effective way to enter ketosis. Generally, this involves limiting carb consumption to around 20 to 50 grams per day and filling up on fats, such as meat, fish, eggs, nuts, and healthy oils (6Trusted Source).
It’s also important to moderate your protein consumption. This is because protein can be converted into glucose if consumed in high amounts, which may slow your transition into ketosis (10Trusted Source).
Practicingintermittent fasting could also help you enter ketosis faster. There are many different forms of intermittent fasting, but the most common method involves limiting food intake to around 8 hours per day and fasting for the remaining 16 hours (11Trusted Source).
Blood, urine, and breath tests are available, which can help determine whether you’ve entered ketosis by measuring the amount of ketones produced by your body.
Certain symptoms may also indicate that you’ve entered ketosis, including increased thirst, dry mouth, frequent urination, and decreased hunger or appetite (12Trusted Source).
SUMMARY
Ketosis is a metabolic state in which your body uses fat for fuel instead of carbs. Modifying your diet and practicing intermittent fasting can help you enter ketosis faster. Certain tests and symptoms can also help determine whether you’ve entered ketosis.
What’s more, the diet is so filling that you can lose weight without counting calories or tracking your food intake (16Trusted Source).
One review of 13 studies found that following a very low carb, ketogenic diet was slightly more effective for long-term weight loss than a low fat diet. People who followed the keto diet lost an average of 2 pounds (0.9 kg) more than the group that followed a low fat diet (13Trusted Source).
Another study in 34 older adults found that those who followed a ketogenic diet for 8 weeks lost nearly five times as much total body fat as those who followed a low fat diet (17Trusted Source).
The increased ketones, lower blood sugar levels, and improved insulin sensitivity may also play a key role (18Trusted Source, 19Trusted Source).
For more details on the weight loss effects of a ketogenic diet, readthis article.
SUMMARY
A ketogenic diet can help you lose slightly more weight than a low fat diet. This often happens with less hunger.
One older study found that the ketogenic diet improved insulin sensitivity by a whopping 75% (25Trusted Source).
A small study in women with type 2 diabetes also found that following a ketogenic diet for 90 days significantly reduced levels of hemoglobin A1C, which is a measure of long-term blood sugar management (26Trusted Source).
Another study in 349 people with type 2 diabetes found that those who followed a ketogenic diet lost an average of 26.2 pounds (11.9 kg) over a 2-year period. This is an important benefit when considering the link between weight and type 2 diabetes (Trusted Source24Trusted Source, 27Trusted Source).
What’s more, they also experienced improved blood sugar management, and the use of certain blood sugar medications decreased among participants throughout the course of the study (Trusted Source27Trusted Source).
For more information, check out this article on the benefits of low carb diets for people with diabetes.
SUMMARY
The ketogenic diet can boost insulin sensitivity and cause fat loss, leading to significant health benefits for people with type 2 diabetes or prediabetes.
Studies have now shown that the diet can have benefits for a wide variety of different health conditions:
Heart disease. The ketogenic diet can help improve risk factors like body fat, HDL (good) cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and blood sugar (28Trusted Source, 29Trusted Source).
Epilepsy. Research has shown that the ketogenic diet can cause significant reductions in seizures in epileptic children (3Trusted Source).
Parkinson’s disease. Although more research is needed, one study found that the diet helped improve symptoms of Parkinson’s disease (34Trusted Source).
Polycystic ovary syndrome. The ketogenic diet can help reduce insulin levels, which may play a key role in polycystic ovary syndrome (35Trusted Source, 36Trusted Source).
Brain injuries. Some research suggests that the diet could improve outcomes of traumatic brain injuries (37Trusted Source).
However, keep in mind that research into many of these areas is far from conclusive.
SUMMARY
A ketogenic diet may provide many health benefits, especially with metabolic, neurological, or insulin-related diseases.
You can eat a wide variety of tasty and nutritious meals on a ketogenic diet. It’s not all meats and fats. Vegetables are an important part of the diet.
Healthy keto snacks
In case you get hungry between meals, here are some healthy, keto-approved snacks:
Great snacks for a keto diet include pieces of meat, cheese, olives, boiled eggs, nuts, raw veggies, and dark chocolate.
Keto tips and tricks
Although getting started on the ketogenic diet can be challenging, there are several tips and tricks that you can use to make it easier.
Start by familiarizing yourself with food labels and checking the grams of fat, carbs, and fiber to determine how your favorite foods can fit into your diet.
Planning out your meals in advance may also be beneficial and can help you save extra time throughout the week.
Many websites, food blogs, apps, and cookbooks also offer keto-friendly recipes and meal ideas that you can use to build your own custom menu.
Alternatively, some meal delivery services even offer keto-friendly options for a quick and convenient way to enjoy keto meals at home.
When going to social gatherings or visiting family and friends, you may also want to consider bringing your own food, which can make it much easier to curb cravings and stick to your meal plan.
SUMMARY
Reading food labels, planning your meals ahead, and bringing your own foods when visiting family and friends can make it much easier to stick to the ketogenic diet.
Most restaurants offer some kind of meat or fish-based dish. Order this and replace any high carb food with extra vegetables.
Egg-based meals are also a great option, such as an omelet or eggs and bacon.
Another favorite is bun-less burgers. You could also swap the fries for vegetables instead. Add extra avocado, cheese, bacon, or eggs.
At Mexican restaurants, you can enjoy any type of meat with extra cheese, guacamole, salsa, and sour cream.
For dessert, ask for a mixed cheese board or berries with cream.
SUMMARY
When eating out, select a meat-, fish-, or egg-based dish. Order extra veggies instead of carbs or starches, and have cheese for dessert.
Side effects and how to minimize them
Although the ketogenic diet is usually safe for most healthy people, there may be some initial side effects while your body adapts.
There’s some anecdotal evidence of these effects often referred to as theketo flu (38Trusted Source). Based on reports from some on the eating plan, it’s usually over within a few days.
Reported keto flu symptoms include diarrhea, constipation, and vomiting (39Trusted Source). Other less common symptoms include:
poor energy and mental function
increased hunger
sleep issues
nausea
digestive discomfort
decreased exercise performance
To minimize this, you can try a regular low carb diet for the first few weeks. This may teach your body to burn more fat before you completely eliminate carbs.
A ketogenic diet can also change the water and mineral balance of your body, so adding extra salt to your meals or taking mineral supplements may help. Talk to your doctor about your nutritional needs.
At least in the beginning, it’s important to eat until you’re full and avoid restricting calories too much. Usually, a ketogenic diet causes weight loss without intentional calorie restriction.
SUMMARY
Many of the side effects of starting a ketogenic diet can be limited. Easing into the diet and taking mineral supplements can help.
A type of medication called sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors for type 2 diabetes can increase the risk for diabetic ketoacidosis, a dangerous condition that increases blood acidity. Anyone taking this medication should avoid the keto diet (40Trusted Source, 41Trusted Source).
More research is being done to determine the safety of the keto diet in the long term. Keep your doctor informed of your eating plan to guide your choices.
SUMMARY
There are some side effects to the keto diet about which you should speak to your doctor if you plan to stay on the diet long term.
Supplements for a ketogenic diet
Although no supplements are required, some can be useful.
Minerals. Added salt and other minerals can be important when starting out due to shifts in water and mineral balance (44Trusted Source).
Caffeine. Caffeine can have benefits for energy, fat loss, and performance (45).
Exogenous ketones. This supplement may help raise the body’s ketone levels (46Trusted Source).
Creatine. Creatine provides numerous benefits for health and performance. This can help if you are combining a ketogenic diet with exercise (47Trusted Source).
Certain supplements can be beneficial on a ketogenic diet. These include exogenous ketones, MCT oil, and minerals.
Frequently asked questions
Here are answers to some of the most common questions about the ketogenic diet.
1. Can I ever eat carbs again?
Yes. However, it’s important to significantly reduce your carb intake initially. After the first 2 to 3 months, you can eat carbs on special occasions — just return to the diet immediately after.
2. Will I lose muscle?
There’s a risk of losing some muscle on any diet. However, protein intake and high ketone levels may help minimize muscle loss, especially if you lift weights (50Trusted Source, 51Trusted Source).
3. Can I build muscle on a ketogenic diet?
Yes, but it may not work as well as on a moderate carb diet (52Trusted Source, 53Trusted Source). For more details about low carb or keto diets and exercise performance, read this article.
4. How much protein can I eat?
Protein should be moderate, as a very high intake can spike insulin levels and lower ketones. Around 35% of total calorie intake is probably the upper limit.
5. What if I am constantly tired, weak, or fatigued?
You may not be in full ketosis or be utilizing fats and ketones efficiently. To counter this, lower your carb intake and revisit the points above. A supplement like MCT oil or ketones may also help (42Trusted Source, 43Trusted Source).
6. My urine smells fruity. Why is this?
Don’t be alarmed. This is simply due to the excretion of by-products created during ketosis (54Trusted Source).
7. My breath smells. What can I do?
This is a common side effect. Try drinking naturally flavored water or chewing sugar-free gum.
8. I heard ketosis was extremely dangerous. Is this true?
People often confuse ketosis withketoacidosis. Ketoacidosis is dangerous, but the ketosis on a ketogenic diet is usually fine for healthy people. Speak to your doctor before starting any new diet.
9. I have digestion issues and diarrhea. What can I do?
This common side effect usually passes after 3 to 4 weeks. If it persists, try eating more high fiber veggies (55Trusted Source, 56).
The bottom line
A ketogenic diet can be great for people who:
are overweight
have diabetes
are looking to improve their metabolic health
It may be less suitable for elite athletes or those wishing to add large amounts of muscle or weight.
It may also not be sustainable for some people’s lifestyles and preferences. Speak with your doctorabout your eating plan and goals to decide if a keto eating plan right for you.
Knowledge is power and LIFE.

New Cancer Treatment Defies All Odds and Boasts an Amazing Cure Rate
There are a lot of things in the World that plague people. The most devastating illness that claims more human life is cancer. There are so many types of cancer in existence that there seems to be little hope for those with aggressive types. But there is good news circulating in the medical world indicating that a new type of treatment has been developed that carries a fantastic cure rate.
IFLScience reports that the new treatment attacks the tumors’ defenses that seem to keep the immune system from attacking the invasive growth. The treatment is so effective that every person who participated in the study had cancer that ended up in remission. Those in the trial study had advanced rectal cancer, and they never needed to have chemotherapy for eradicated cancer. They never had to go through radiotherapy or surgery to remove the growth.
Dr. Diaz is the Head of the Division of Solid Tumor Oncology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. He is also the one that wrote the stunning report. He stated that “I believe this is the first time this has happened in the history of cancer.”
There has never been a treatment that had such a fantastic cure rate.
IFLScience has also reported that “The drug in question is an anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody named dostarlimab. PD-1 (programmed death-1) is a protein that forms a complex with PD-L1 (programmed death ligand-1) that is expressed on the outside of tumor cells. It acts as a ‘shield’ from the immune system, telling immune cells that they should not attack the tumor and allowing it to grow uncontrollably. It may sound like a wholly-unhelpful protein, but it prevents T cells from attacking other cells that they shouldn’t. Cancer cells can co-opt PD-1 for nefarious uses, allowing them to fly under the radar of the immune system.”
Cancer has a way of masking itself from being attacked by the human immune system. The new treatment breaks down cancer’s ability to hide, which allows the human body to attack the mutated cells and eliminate the threat.
IFLScience also reported that cancer is particular to every person. Current patients often have to have their treatment tailored to their specific type of cancer. But this new treatment being developed has targeted all the unique cases and sent the person into remission.
The private sector has developed the science behind the new cancer treatment. But this time around, the public has found a way to save lives.
The new treatment works by empowering the body to defend itself against a killer disease. The new drug allowed T cells to begin recognizing the mutated cancer cells, which were destroyed by the body.
The 16 people involved in the trial testing went through rigorous testing to try and determine if all the cancer was gone. Every single person in the group was found to be cancer-free by the end of the trial period. Each person was brought back in for more testing a year later, and there was no indication that the cancer had returned.
The report indicated that the side effects were minimal, ranging from rashes to tiredness. Each person in the trial had beaten an aggressive form of a deadly disease.
The human body is a fantastic creation designed to fight a lot of different diseases.
Knowledge is power and LIFE.

There are graveyards of broken Dreams. There are feelings as empty as the void of deep space. Many a sad melody has been played and echoed in the Human Heart.
Words could never express our deepest emotions. But God, My Dear Friend, can bring Life and Healing to your mind and Heart. Every sorrow can draw you closer to God. He feels your need for Love. . Life can Bloom with Blossoms of Beautiful Dreams. Your Dreams can carry you far, far away. Dreams are precious. They point the way. They paint our World with Hope, while they freely roam in the mind. . Ask the Lord to Journey with you, while you Dream, and Dream this Life away.
My Dear Friends, there is so much Beauty that we hold in our Hearts. . God will show you how to Love Life again. For even in the darkest of minds, there is still Beauty. Through Prayer, will can emanate Grace instead of sorrow.
Our Lives can became a story of Hope and Joy. . Yes, the most broken of Hearts are also the most Healing. Pray, Dream, Believe, and Truly Live.
Go to God in Prayer. Our Heavenly Father will shield you from Harm. He will allow the transmutation of dark energy, into Light energy and Love. . He will ease the pain of this World, and bring Peace to all Mankind. And YOU will be Blessed.
You will find yourself transported to a Place you were not even searching for. Prayer will introduce you to the Serene Beauty that envelops your Soul. . And as you share your Love, you will no longer be a stranger to others, but a Kindred Spirit.
Capture the perfect Peace. Experience the Light of God’s Love.
Drops of dew are the gems of a Beautiful Morning. . But to some of us, they are the tears of a sorrowful night. The distinction prevails in our thoughts. . But the Love of God expresses that which cannot be said, on which it is impossible to be silent.
Beauty, like the rays of the Sun, covers your Heart with a Light Veil and touches you deep inside. Our Beautiful World is reflected in you. . We all Journey along a small path in a large park. And, as a warm and gentle breeze touches your face, the green leaves are gently swaying, in tune with your fragile thoughts. . A delicate Flower of our desire slowly unfolds to meet the Light. The flow of Joy fills you with energy and delight. And as you smile, you come to realize that here and now, is the meaning of Life. . The Source of your Inspiration, is the Infinite and Beautiful World within your Sacred Heart.
The Precious Gift that God gave our World, is you. How Blessed we are to have been given such a precious Gift. . As the World seemingly spins out of control, let us Thank our Lord for soothing our Spirits with the God Given Gift of you. . THANK YOU. . Goodnight.
Since 2003, Americans have been able to opt out of receiving most telemarketing calls by putting their phone numbers on the National Do Not Call Registry, and millions of them have done so. The Registry now has more than 221 million telephone numbers on it, giving these consumers a little more peace and quietduring their dinner hour. Not only is the Do Not Call program wildly popular with consumers, but it also helps telemarketers operate more efficiently by screening out consumers who do not want to be contacted. . The DNC Registry website is www.donotcall.gov.A Spanish-language version is also available. The Registry only contains phone numbers, no other personally identifiable information, and we do not keep a record of whether the numbers are land line or cell phones. There are some exemptions to the Do Not Call rules. Because of the limits to FTC’s authority, the Registry does not apply to political calls or calls from non-profits and charities (but the Registry does cover telemarketers calling on behalf of charities). Also, calls from legitimate “survey” organizations are not covered because they are not offering to sell anything to consumers. Finally, calls are permitted from companies with which you have done or sought to do business. Specifically, a company can call you up to 18 months after you last did business with it.
If we only learn to Smile, to spark a Hope, to give of our abundance, to forward Kindness, and share our Happiness, we can begin to Truly Live Life.
You can be amazing, and your words deliver a message that will bring Joy into someone’s precious Life. Your Love will touch their Soul.
You can let others know that they are Loved, and they are needed.
Let us stop worrying about the Future and remember a Time in the past, when our thoughts were so Happy.
Relax and teleport your mind into a different World, a REAL World. Close your eyes and remember a Tomorrow that was Yesterday. You will be able to find Life’s meaning and purpose. It did exist, and can exist again.
You are special. Great things are coming to you. When you Pray, you can feel the Flow of God’s Energy.
“What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality.” – Plutarch
Our conscious, Living Being responds more vigorously to our feelings, than our thoughts. So, let us speak in the Language of the Heart.
“Prayers not felt by us are seldom heard by God.” – Philip Henry
Lose yourself in the energy of your feelings, your yearning to help another. . “The more willing you are to surrender to the energy within you, the more power can flow through you.” – Benjamin Franklin
Your feeling is the Prayer. . “For the beauty of the Earth,For the beauty of the skiesFor the love which from our birthOver and around us liesOver and around us liesLord of all, to thee we raiseThis our joyful hymn of praiseFor the beauty of the hourOf the day and of the nightHill and vale and tree and flowerSun and moon and stars of lightSun and moon and stars of lightLord of all, to thee we raiseThis our joyful hymn of praiseFor the joy of human loveBrother, sister, parent, childFriends on earth and friends aboveFor all gentle thoughts and mildFor all gentle thoughts and mildLord of all, to thee we raiseThis our joyful hymn of praiseFor each perfect gift of thineTo our race so freely givenGraces Human and divineFlowers of earth and buds of heavenFlowers of earth and buds of heavenLord of all, to thee we raiseThis our joyful hymn, our joyful hymn of PraiseThis our joyful hymn of Praise.”
Let your Song join the One that never ends. Let the Sea of your imagination rush through your mind and Heart. Escape this reality. Hope lies just beyond the horizon of illusions that are Life. . Knowing comes from awareness that God is Real and that He Lives within.
To grasp Reality, go the Lord in Prayer.
The Stars in the Sky are a mirror. Listen to your Heart.
We can learn how to Love God, and draw closer to Him.
Amazing Love can fill your whole Being. Listen, Pray and Believe.
The Songs and the Stories of Love and Life are so emotional and so exquisite. Someday Love and Life will meet again. Someday it will be Spring again.
Let your Light shine everywhere, and let it Bless those in need.
God has been so good to you. Be Grateful. The Best Way to Praise the Lord and Express His Love is to invite Him into your Life and follow in His Path.
Healing is in the meditation of calming the mind and feeling the Infinite Energy that exists within. You can feel your mind, your Being and your Spirit in each Sacred Breath.
You can inspire others to share your passions with the World. And they will thank you for making this World a better place.
Life passes by and nothing is permanent. We Live each day, lost in the worries and troubles of the moment. We don’t notice Time passing by. Why did Time pass by so quickly? Perhaps it does not exist. Perhaps, it too is an illusion. . Our Hearts ache for simpler Times, for the days when we were Children. They exist in our precious memories. And YES, they can exist again.
Love is what darkness fears the most.
Close your eyes. You will see Peace. You Heart is ready to forgive and to forget and to send Love into the Lives of others all around you, and all over the World.
It is so inspiring to know that people all around this Beautiful World Love each other unconditionally. And through Love we are all connected. We are one.
The dark was never meant to rule the Earth. Our Destiny is the Light, and the Love, and the Peace of our Lord. . Let the Vibration of your Life be Kind to each other, be accepting of one another. The darkness wants to separate us. But the Light of Love, will bring us together.
Clear your mind. Let the Energy of Love flow into the Fiber of your Being through Prayer. You are Love, and you are a Divine Child of God. . With Faith you will become EVERYTHING God wants you to be. Believe in yourself, and Believe in God. This your moment.
Alicia Staley’s journey as 23+ year cancer survivor.
Today, we’re featuring a blog post by S. Adams. As many of you know, I’ve been interested in the environmental impacts that cause cancer. Today’s entry touches on one aspect of that. Thank you for contributing this very important perspective.
Developing cancer can be one of the most devastating things that can happen to a person. The instant your doctor utters the words, “You have cancer” your mind runs an emotional gamut. Fear, uncertainty, sadness, hope, love, anxiety, anger, despair. Cancer is the nightmare no one wishes to wake up with. The resolve to fight for your life, and live it to it’s fullest becomes your focus. There are many unknowns about cancer, and gradually scientists are learning more about what may cause cancer, and how to treat it. While a cure for cancer is still being researched, we as individuals must do what we can and avoid those things which we know can cause cancer.
Carcinogens are cancer causing chemicals. The most well known carcinogens are cigarette smoke, asbestos, benzene, and formaldehyde. These chemicals are found in everyday items such as building materials, glues, detergents, plastics, pesticides, lubricants, paper products, cosmetics, air deodorizers, carpets, and more. It may be hard to avoid items with these chemicals, as they are chemicals used in so many products, and you may not realize how much you are being exposed to them.
With what is known about causes of cancer, it will come as a shock that there are prescription drugs, commonly prescribed medicines, that have been shown to cause cancer in animals. Yet, they are still readily available. One reason they are likely still available is that the big drug makers, with their monetary ties to the FDA, insist more research has to be done on these medicines before they should be considered being labeled with extraneous warnings.
Millions of women experiencing menopause have taken HRT (hormone replacement therapy) to ease their symptoms. HRT boosts estrogen levels, which can promote both breast and uterine cancer development. How many women have used this to relieve their menopausal symptoms, only to develop some form of cancer as a result? We will never know.
Drugs that have been found to cause cancer in rats range from heartburn medications to blood pressure and cholesterol lowering drugs. Prilosec (heartburn), Aldactazine, Aldactone (both blood pressure meds), Zocor, Lopid, Mevacor, Lescol, and Pravachol(cholesterol lowering drugs) have all been found to be a cause of cancer in animals, and have been linked to increased occurrences of cancer by patients who have taken these drugs.
Do the benefits of these drugs outweigh the risk? The risk of developing cancer is not one to take lightly! The fact that there are even more prescription drugs being researched as being the causes of cancer is disgusting.
There is research being done after scientific research has determined pancreatic cancer to be a Januvia side effect. Januvia is a billion dollar money making diabetes drug produced by Merck, and being the big money maker that is, Merck defends the drug against naysayers, saying more research needs to be done to back up these claims. With similar diabetes drugs, Byetta and Victoza having been found to increase the risk of cancer, expedited research should be required. Are the manufacturers of these drugs hiding research results for the sake of increased profit? With so many drugs being questioned, this certainly seems, sadly, a possibility.
The FDA warns against using the topical eczema ointments Elidel and Protopic in children under two as these medicines are associated with lymphoma and skin cancers. The warning goes on to include that “the long term safety of these drugs is unknown.” As you can read here, the maker of the drug found no reason for a warning to be added to the medicines.
As a consumer, it is in your interest to know the risks associated with prescription drugs that you are taking. Sites like DrugNews.net issue safety alerts, FDA recalls, and important medical industry news that can keep buyers aware of news that may be happening outside mainstream media. Being informed about the side effects and risks associated with medicines is another way to be be prudent in avoiding health risks.
People taking medicine trust their doctors and they trust the makers of the drugs they are taking. It is absurd that so many medicines have been linked to increasing the risk of cancer development, and the FDA should require more research into these drugs, quantifying the risk, instead of asking consumers to ignore the risk completely. Cancer should not be a risk that should be given or taken so lightly.

Facts & Figures 2021 Reports Another Record-Breaking 1-Year Drop in Cancer Deaths
The death rate from cancer in the United States has continued to decline. From 1991 to 2018, the cancer death rate has fallen 31%. This includes a 2.4% decline from 2017 to 2018 – a new record for the largest one-year drop in the cancer death rate. These are just some of the findings from the annual statistics reported by the American Cancer Society (ACS).
In Cancer Statistics, 2021 and its consumer-friendly companion, Cancer Facts & Figures 2021, ACS researchers estimate that in the US in 2021, almost 1.9 million new cancer cases will be diagnosed. And more than 600,000 people will die from cancer.
These numbers do not account for the effect the COVID-19 pandemic has likely had on cancer diagnoses and deaths because they are projections based on reported cases and deaths through 2017 and 2018, respectively. More details about COVID-19 and its impact on cancer is available in the Cancer Facts & Figures report’s Special Section: COVID-19 and Cancer.
Each year, ACS reports on the most recent facts about cancer in the US. They estimate numbers of new cancer diagnoses and deaths for the current year. These estimates are some of the most widely quoted cancer statistics in the world.
The cancer death rate in the US mostly went up during the 20th century. The rise was mainly due to the smoking epidemic.
The cancer death rate hit its peak in 1991, with 215 out of every 100,000 people dying from cancer. Since then, the cancer death rate has steadily gone down – dropping by a total of 31%.
The fastest decline so far was in the last two years. Each year set a record for the largest one-year drop in the cancer death rate – 2.2% from 2016 to 2017 and 2.4% from 2017 to 2018.
Declines in the cancer death rate since 1991 are mainly due to fewer people smoking, but also advances in early detection and treatment for some cancers.
But even with this drop in death rates, cancer is still the second most common cause of death in men and women in the US. Only heart disease kills more people than cancer.
Major cancer types: Lung, breast, prostate, and colorectal cancer
The 27-year decline in the overall cancer death rate is mostly due to long-term drops in the four most common cancers: lung, colorectal, breast, and prostate. Among the largest drop is in lung cancer deaths. In contrast, progress in reducing colorectal and breast cancer deaths has slowed and prostate cancer rates have stayed the same.
These four cancers account for more than four out of every ten cancer deaths in the United States. Almost one-quarter of all cancer deaths are due to lung cancer – more than breast, prostate, and colorectal cancers combined.
Reductions in the lung cancer death rate account for almost half of the total drop in the cancer death rate from 2014 to 2018. Overall declines in the lung cancer death rate are mostly due to reductions in smoking, although improved treatments for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the most common subtype, appear to have accelerated this progress. Even with these advances, lung cancer is still the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in men and women. More than 80% of lung cancer deaths are due to cigarette smoking.
The death rate from breast cancer dropped by more than 40% from 1989 to 2018 because of earlier detection, through both increased awareness and mammography screening, as well as advances in treatment.
Finding prostate cancer earlier through PSA testing and advances in treatment helped lower the death rate for prostate cancer by about 4% each year from the mid-1990s until about 2013. But more recently (2013-2018), the death rate is no longer dropping.
Death rates from colorectal cancer have dropped by 55% from 1970 to 2018, due to changes in risk factors (like declines in smoking); colorectal cancer screening, which can prevent cancer and find cancer earlier through screening; and better treatments. But death rates are increasing in adults younger than age 55 because of increasing incidence.
Cancer disparities
The American Cancer Society is committed to eliminating disparities in cancer. Cancer disparities are differences in who develops cancer and how well they do after a diagnosis. These differences are closely linked with social, economic, and/or environmental disadvantages and other characteristics historically tied to discrimination or exclusion, including historical and persistent racism. In the US, this has led to differences in socioeconomic status (SES) measured by income, education, work, housing, and health insurance status.
For example, although the five-year relative survival rate has improved greatly for all cancers combined for individuals who are Black and white, it remains substantially lower for those who are Black, 63% versus 68% for diagnoses during 2010-2016. For many cancers, the difference is much larger. Five-year survival is about 20% lower in Black individuals for melanoma and cancers of the uterine corpus (endometrial cancer) and oral cavity.
There is a similar disparity in cancer death rates, although the gap has begun to narrow. In 1993, the cancer death rate was 33% higher among Black people than white people. In 2018, this number had dropped to 13%. This improvement is largely due to a steep drop in smoking by Black teens.
Still, for most cancer types, death rates are higher for Black people. The death rate for Black men with prostate cancer is more than double that of men in every other population. And Black women have a 40% higher breast cancer death rate than white women, even though their diagnoses rates are slightly lower.
Special section: COVID-19 and Cancer
Each year, American Cancer Society researchers include a special section in Cancer Facts & Figures highlighting a specific timely cancer-related topic. This year, the topic is COVID-19 and cancer. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused reduced access to care for other illnesses, including cancer. This has led to delays in cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment.
Even as access to care improves, people may continue to wait to see their doctors for preventive care or an evaluation of symptoms because they’ve lost their jobs due to COVID-19 (including their work-based health insurance) or are afraid they will expose themselves to the virus. This delayed care is expected to result in a brief drop in cancer diagnoses, followed in the years to come by a rise in late-stage diagnoses and cancer deaths.
Also, habits that can increase cancer risk, such as drinking alcohol, not staying physically active, and weight gain, have increased during the pandemic and may lead to long-term health problems.
We will not know the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on future cancer outcomes until nationwide data become available in a few years.
Lives saved
The death rate has decreased for most cancer types. This steady progress is due to fewer people smoking, earlier detection for many types of cancer, and improved cancer treatments. This progress means that there were about 3.2 million fewer cancer deaths from 1991 to 2018.
Other highlights from the report:
Every day in 2018, about 11 women died from cervical cancer in the US, with half of them in their 50s and younger. Cervical cancer also remains the second leading cause of cancer death among women in their 20s and 30s.
Cervical cancer is almost 100% preventable through screening and the HPV vaccine. The US has lower up-to-date HPV vaccination rates than other high-income countries.
Compared to dropping incidence trends for lung and colorectal cancers, the rate of new female breast cancer cases increased by about 0.5% each year from 2008 to 2017, which is thought to be due, in part, to increased obesity rates and decreased fertility rates.
Prostate, lung and bronchus, and colorectal cancers make up 46% of all cancer cases in men, with prostate cancer accounting for 26% of all cancers in men. For women, breast, lung, and colorectal cancers combined make up just over 50% of all new diagnoses, with breast cancer accounting for 30% of all cancers in women.
Our team is made up of doctors and oncology certified nurses with deep knowledge of cancer care as well as journalists, editors, and translators with extensive experience in medical writing.
