Introduction There is an epidemic going on in our country, and it’s one that can hopefully be prevented. Though the statistics speak for themselves, with the right lifestyle adjustment and healthy alternatives to our traditionally bad habits, we can work to fight cancer. It is estimated that 570,000 Americans are expected to die of cancer and another 1.5 million are to be diagnosed with cancer this year. This cancer epidemic is a very scary thing, and quite frankly is something that hits far too close to home. Too many of us have either suffered from some type of cancer in our lives, or we know somebody else who has. It’s staggering just how many instances of cancer most of us will see in our lifetimes. Sure there are some types of cancer that may be preventable from the start. Something like lung cancer that plagues a lifetime smoker may be no surprise, but is no less tragic. In many cases in this day and age though, there are plenty of forms of cancer that come out of nowhere with no warning and therefore take far too many victims. Though you may be all too familiar with cancer in some form, what you may not realize is what you can do to help keep it away or cure it. The natural remedies, the foods that we eat, and the way that we take care of ourselves may all help to contribute to fewer instances of cancer. This may sound too good to be true, but when you turn to natural remedies you may find the very answers that you are looking for. One of the best ways to prevent cancer is turning to a natural food supply and therefore eating the right foods. Nutrients and other helpful natural agents may be the very best cure for cancer in the end.
“The doctor of the future will give no medication, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease.” Thomas A Edison
http://www.naturalhealingcollege.com/contact/
Reevaluating Your Diet And Why It May Not Be Working For You Over thousands of years, the human diet has evolved to include the foods that are most beneficial to our health. Fruits and vegetables are in fact the result of a process of natural selection that took place over a period of millions of years. Over the ages, our ancestors constantly adapted to environment changes and adopted the selection of foods that gave them the edge in survival. We learned how to harness that edge in the form of planting crops and farming such super foods most beneficial to our health to date. The very foods that we need and that our bodies crave tend to be the best for us. The good news is that so many of these foods come to us right from the earth. These natural and whole foods are loaded with nutrients that we need for survival and nurturing.
We Are Ignoring What We Really Need In The End The bad news is that today, in the age of information and technology, most of us have neglected the importance of maintaining a nutritious diet. Though we have a sufficient offering of healthy and natural foods at our fingertips, we tend to ignore them. Rather than turning to foods for nutrition, we tend to search out convenience as the leading factor in eating each day. So though we have plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and other such natural foods, we shy away from them. If it requires too much time or effort, we are immediately turned away. We all have too much to do and therefore don’t have time to focus on proper food preparation or fueling our bodies in the right way. Instead our choices of turning to processed and fast foods has led to booming multibillion dollar food industries that promote thought-free eating habits. Rather than eating to nurture ourselves and to really take in key nutrients, we tend to be focused merely on satisfying the need to refuel without any concern for its long-term impact on health care. This is due in large part to why so many people get sick. In the short term eating fast foods, fatty foods, or convenience foods slowly deteriorates our immune system and leaves us with the likelihood of getting sick more often. In the long term, eating improperly can lead to much more dire consequences—and this is a major contributor to the tragic phenomenon of cancer we all see. http://www.naturalhealingcollege.com/contact/
The Sad Truth About Eating Improperly You may think that eating these processed, fatty foods isn’t making that much of a difference to your health. For every meal that you eat based on convenience rather than out of healthy fuel though, you are slowly deteriorating your health away. The fat, the empty calories, and the harmful substances and potential toxins that you consume are helping to not only add to your waistline but also contribute to worse health. Did you know, cancers related to poor dietary habits are the leading cause of cancer cases in the United States? It is right up there with the other deadly cancer associated with tobacco, which also accounts for the other 30% of cancer cases in United States. While we tend to think of smoking as the only controllable poor life choice that can lead down the path to cancer, improper eating is just as much a culprit. Focusing on proper nutrition can help to better health in the short term and the long term. This is a choice that you have control over and that can have a very positive impact in your life. Many of us are familiar with cancers caused by smoking, environmental factors, pollution and chemicals. These are the types of cancer that we envision when we think of the true epidemic. However very few are aware of cancers due to poor dietary habits. Of the millions of people suffering from various forms of cancer in the United States, 30% are caused by poor dietary habits. Over the last decade there have been numerous efforts and campaigns to make people more aware of the reality of this disease and its risk factors. This has fortunately empowered people to make drastic changes in many economic and social politics throughout the United States and worldwide. Campaigns such as the one for anti-tobacco have opened many people’s eyes and raised awareness of risks associated with smoking tobacco among many of us. Similarly, our efforts to raise awareness of risks associated with our poor dietary choices tends to be a continuous challenge. It’s time to understand the implications of eating poorly and how a lack of nutrition can ultimately lead to long term health problems and medical conditions.

Why Food Can Work Better Than Medicine Sure there are certainly times when medication may be a necessity. You do want to be sure that you talk through your specific symptoms with your doctor and be in tune with the big picture. Suffice it to say though that a lot of medical professionals simply underestimate the great power that food can really have. If you found out that you could change your picture of health around simply by changing the way that you eat, wouldn’t you? This is about a lifestyle change, but it’s well worth the effort. Though proper nutrition is just one aspect of a healthy lifestyle, it happens to be a very important one when it comes to naturally healing your health problems and ailments.
Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food – Hippocrates (460-577 BC)
Have you ever really taken the time to look at how you are eating? Most of us go about our days and tend to think of food as a convenient form of fuel. We either eat on the run, eat what we have at our disposal, or pick things up as we’re moving from one point to another. Without giving your food supply much thought, you are missing out on just what it can do for you. Not only are you missing out on key nutrients, but you are also missing out on the medicinal power that food can provide. You can get the same power and positive reaction by eating the right foods that you can with certain medications. There is a great deal of research that points to how effective food really can be. As so many search for a cure for cancer, it is being proven over and over again that this may lie with the foods that we eat. It sounds simple, but it may be as effective as certain medications out there—and far less potent and potentially dangerous! According to a recent cancer study by GLOBOCAN, International Agency of Research on Cancer, the number of reported cases in the US and other western countries for cancer were more than four times higher than those of third world countries. This pattern repeated year after year and led to research and study of other culture in hopes for understanding cancer and perhaps one day of its cure.
http://www.naturalhealingcollege.com/contact/
The Answer May Always Lie In Food Recent studies of other cultures culinary habits have led us to great breakthroughs and new discoveries that we never dreamed possible. These studies unveil some of the most amazing anticancer compounds present in many of the natural food sources such as fruits and vegetables available to us today. So if the food that we eat can really heal, we are starting to really uncover this truth. We now understand how some foods have a profound ability to inhibit growth of cancerous cells. Historians and Scientists around the world have long known about these key foods, and yet our modern culture has turned towards the convenience of medicine instead. Though we can trace the very power of food back centuries, we are just recently starting to accept this as a modern culture. Only now have we truly begun to discover the potential of such foods and their unique ability to fight cancerous cells at a molecular level. There are certain elements found within food that go above and beyond nutrients. Yes the vitamins and minerals that so many of us enjoy out of the right foods give us energy. Dig deeper into the more profound antioxidants to gain a true understanding and you see that at the core it’s about naturally boosting the immune system. The research picks up from there and really delves into how proper nutrition can act as medicine.
A Very Powerful Component That May Make All The Difference In The World The discovery of Phytochemicals is what it’s all about, and this has revolutionized many of the modern synthesized sophisticated drugs used as anticancer treatments. These mysterious compounds have long existed in plants in fruits and vegetables that do not fit the norm of essential nutrients. Phytochemicals have unique properties that allow them to fight diseases such as cancer, heart attack and stroke. Today many Phytochemicals are still being discovered with our modern laboratory techniques. So all of the cancer research is paying off tremendously and at the core of this is these Phytochemicals that really make the difference. Phytochemicals are biologically active chemical compounds that develop naturally in plants. The name originates from a Greek word for plant, "phyto�. Phytochemicals are the molecules responsible for the color and organoleptic properties specific to fruits, vegetables and spices that are commonly associated with various ethnic culinary traditions worldwide.
Searching Out The Right Foods By Sight
http://www.naturalhealingcollege.com/contact/
You may wonder if Phytochemicals are something that you can see. You may even wonder if they are something that you can gain more of, and therefore make a decision to embrace foods that contain this compound. The answer lies in color and therefore this is what should guide some of your best nutrition choices. The deep purple color to blueberries and the characteristic smell of garlic are the result of various such Phytochemicals present. These compounds evolve over time based on the environmental stresses on the plant. In turn these allow the plants to defend themselves against infection and damage caused by microorganisms, as well as other predators. They must work effectively as a plant cannot flee their attackers. It is theorized plants that are cultivated naturally have greater quantities of Phytochemicals, as compared to the growing of plants with the use of pesticides and other elements. So you can start to see how these Phytochemicals work and essentially how they work within your body. This is how they get their medicinal properties and work to combat anything that may be coming at you with the notion of potential danger. So learning what makes up the secret to these amazing foods is key. Now you know that Phytochemicals are the powerful compound. You also see that it’s all about the color that helps to define them as the best of the best in terms of natural food choices— these foods will act as medication and give you much better and more natural results!

“Cabbage, the vegetable of thousand virtues” Hippocrates (460-377 BC)
http://www.naturalhealingcollege.com/contact/
If you aren’t eating cabbage then you need to start doing so. Cabbage belongs to the family of vegetables knows as crucifer. The cruciferous foods offer tremendous benefits in cancer prevention and are therefore top of the list. Broccoli, turnips, cauliflower and Brussel sprouts are among a few of the common ones classifieds as cruciferous vegetables along with cabbage. They are the key players against breast cancer. Cruciferous vegetables contain Phytochemicals known as Indole-3-Carbonale. These are very powerful in their makeup as they pertain to cancer prevention. They are also known as I3C and what makes them so important is that they are hugely beneficial with cancers that are dependent on estrogen. Numerous studies have consistently shown that women who eat daily servings of cruciferous vegetables have a 50 percent less risk of developing breast cancer. So cabbage being at the top of the list of cruciferous vegetables means that cancer prevention can be much more easily achieved than you might realize due to this important nutrient and naturally occurring chemical.
“There is no such thing as a little garlic." Arthur Baer
Garlic may be one of the super foods of all super foods. Garlic belongs to the Allium family, along with its cousins, onions, leeks and others. Throughout history many cultures and civilizations, used garlic extensively in their cooking. The health benefits of garlic are quite extensive and well known as well as its flavorful impact on culinary cuisines. Studies show that the garlic family plays a pivotal role in the prevention of cancer of the digestive system such as stomach and colon cancers. The Phytochemical known as Allicin, which is responsible for giving the garlic its sulfuric odor, produces a compound called Daillyl Sulfide (“DAS”). This in turn acts as a very powerful agent in preventing the formation of potent carcinogens known as nitrosamines in the intestinal track which are responsible for cancer. DAS also attacks a grown cancer cell such as a tumor and have been found to be effective in killing them. Garlic is also known to have antibacterial properties which may act as a sort of natural cleaning agent within the body as it pertains to cancer and other illnesses. Eating garlic regularly may help to naturally boost the immune system and help in protecting your short term and long term health in the process.
"How wonderful yellow is. It stands for the sun." Vincent Van Gogh
http://www.naturalhealingcollege.com/contact/
Turmeric is a well-known spice which comes from a plant belonging to the ginger family. We know that ginger has some natural healing properties to it, so it therefore only makes sense that we can expect the same from turmeric. This rich golden yellow flavorful spice has strong anticancer properties and has been part of social, cultural, medicinal traditions in many cultures especially in India. The medicinal properties of turmeric are particularly helpful in fighting against many chronic illnesses and can be found in records dating back as far as 3000 BC. Turmeric has an anticancer property that is useful in the treatment and prevention of all types of cancer. That makes it one of the go to spices and foods when we think of cancer prevention as a whole. The key phytochemical compound with anticancer properties found in turmeric is called curcumin. Curcumnoids are the principle compounds in turmeric that account for five percent of its weight and is responsible for its brilliant yellow color. Laboratory research studies on Curcumin show its impressive ability to block a variety of cell growth including tumors, leukemia cells, and other cancers such as colon, breast, and ovarian cancer.
“If you could give me a cup of tea to clear my muddle of a head I should better understand your affairs." Charles Dickens Tea is a very complex beverage in terms of the variety of compounds that make the savory aroma and taste. These compounds have been a part of the culture and tradition both originating from the East and West. The discovery of tea took place in China around 5000 BC, and quickly spread throughout other Eastern Countries, and was brought to the West by the British. In the United States, tea played a significant role in an event that led to independence from Britain. Green tea specifically is packed with Polyphenols knows as flavanoids. The common variety of flavonoids present in green tea are also known as Catechins. Epicallocatechin (EGCG) stands out ahead of other Catechins when it comes to anticancer activities. EGCG blocks the receptor activity that is responsible for angiogenesis. Japanese green tea is the richest in anticancer compounds. So a cup of green tea each day may be just what the doctor ordered. You get a healthy way of enjoying caffeine, but you are also enjoying some important nutrients and compounds in the process. Green tea can be an excellent anticancer prevention indeed.
Berries May Be Your Best Friend and a Helpful Fruit
http://www.naturalhealingcollege.com/contact/
Berries also belong to the category of plants called Bacciferous and are amongst the most flavorsome and colorful of all fruits. The most commonly well-known varieties are Raspberry, Strawberry, Blueberry, Cranberry, Blackberry and Acai. Along with the abundant flavors these berries offer, they are also potential players in the scientific community as possessing anticancer properties. Ellagic Acid is the key Phytochemical prominent in Strawberries. This polyphenol is particularly effective in interfering with the formation of new blood vessels in tumors and some of the pharmaceutical developed molecules. Ellagic acid also fight carcinogens primarily NMBA which exists in esophageal tumors. Anthocyanidins is another player that boasts anticancer properties and have strong antioxidant properties. This polyphenol exists in large quantities in Blueberries. So when you hear so much about blueberries specifically they truly are a super food. Be sure however not to neglect the other berries as they may offer just as important of health properties towards cancer prevention specifically. Proanthocyanidins are complex polyphenols made up of a grouping of the same molecule catechin which we learned about earlier. Cranberry and Blueberries contain the highest amount of proanthocyanidin. They also boast power in terms of antioxidant properties similar to those found in Vitamin C. Only recently the scientific community has started to study Proanthocyandin molecules and their link in preventing colon cancer cells.
"It's difficult to think anything but pleasant thoughts while eating a homegrown tomato." Lewis Grizzard Tomatoes have always been looked to as a food of great power in certain cultures. Perhaps we didn’t realize just how truly powerful and effective tomatoes can be, but they are finally being noticed particularly as they relate to cancer prevention. Tomatoes have been famously known for their strong association with the Spanish and Italian traditions and cuisines, but its origins are traced back to South America to the Aztecs. It was brought to Europe by the Spaniards from Mexico in the early 16 th Century where its popularity spread through-out Europe. The principle Phytochemical in tomatoes is called Lycopene, and belongs to the class of Phytochemical knows as Carotenoids. Carotenoids are responsible for the colors such as red, orange and yellow in a variety of vegetables and fruits. This is a natural cancer prevention agent, and what has made tomatoes the true super food that they are.
“If the family were a fruit, it would be an orange� Letty Cottin Pogrebin http://www.naturalhealingcollege.com/contact/
Orange belongs to the family of citrus fruits such as lemons, limes, grapefruit and mandarins. The origins of all the citrus fruits are traced back to India and China almost 3000 years ago. The orange was first introduced to the west by Alexander the Great in during 4th century B.C. Today 100 million tons of fruits are produced globally from the 100 billion citrus trees cultivated worldwide. Citrus fruits are famously known for their role with Vitamin C. We look to Vitamin C for fighting the common cold or helping to naturally boost our immune system. This nutrient can also do so much more! What most people don’t know is that they are the only plants that contain a significant source of polyphenols called Flavanones. Flavanones present in citrus fruits are also responsible for the anti-scurvy effects during the Spanish exploration voyages taken by Christopher Columbus. So the natural properties and presence of such nutrients and chemicals have had a profound effect on improving health for centuries. The mechanics of anticancer activities is currently unclear and is under heavy research. However in all the case studies done, citrus fruits have demonstrated a link between their consumption and reducing risk by 50% in digestive track cancers such as esophageal, mouth, larynx, and stomach cancers. Citrus fruits play an important role in systems involving metabolism of foreign substances. This is quite evident as we know that grapefruit and orange juice consumption is directly responsible for doubling the absorption of the amount of many medications and thus increasing the medications side effects.
“I would lead you {and} bring you into the house of my mother, who used to instruct me; I would give you spiced wine to drink from the juice of my pomegranates� Song of Solomon 8:2 Pomegranates have been cherished for their exquisite beauty, flavor, color, and health benefits for centuries. It is believed by many to be the fruit from the tree of life. In the Greek myth of Persephone's abduction by Hades, lord of the underworld, the pomegranate represents life, regeneration, and marriage. The pomegranate is native to the region of Persia and the Western Pomegranates is one fruit that has been referenced more than fruit in almost all religion. Himalayan range, and has been cultivated in Northern India, Russia, and the Mediterranean region for several millennia. Though many people may not enjoy this fruit on a regular basis these days, it has been around feeding and nourishing people for centuries. Pomegranate juice began widely distributed in the United States in 2002, and due to its popularity it is also cultivated in parts of California and Arizona for juice production. Several clinical studies conducted in 2011 by the National Institutes of Health fount that the consumption of pomegranate juice helps to prevent prostate cancer. This was due http://www.naturalhealingcollege.com/contact/
to discovery of the abundance of Ellagic acid - the latest phytonutrient to enter the scene. In laboratory and animal studies, ellagic acid has been shown to inhibit cancer cell growth and deactivate cancer-causing compounds. So the pomegranate is once again being hailed as a beautiful and magical fruit, and this time for some legitimate reasons. This is an excellent fruit to turn to for cancer prevention, and the juice may be just as helpful in terms of its potency in helping as a super food in this sense.
“My dream is to become a farmer. Just a Bohemian guy pulling up his own sweet potatoes for dinner” Lenny Kravitz Sweet potatoes very early became popular in the islands of the Pacific Ocean, spreading from Polynesia to Japan and the Philippines. Despite the name, sweet potato is not related to the common potato. The rich orange color of a sweet potato indicates that they are high in carotenoids like beta carotene and other carotenoids, which is the precursor to vitamin A in your body. It is this nutrient and the deep rich color that makes it such an amazing addition to the cancer prevention list. Carotenoids help strengthen our eyesight and boost our immunity to disease, they are powerful antioxidants that help ward off cancer and protect against the effects of aging. Studies at Harvard University of more than 124,000 people showed a 32 percent reduction in risk of lung cancer in people who consumed a variety of carotenoid-rich foods as part of their regular diet. Another study of women who had completed treatment for early stage breast cancer conducted by researchers at Women’s Healthy Eating and Living (WHEL) found that women with the highest blood concentrations of carotenoids had the least likelihood of cancer recurrence. Not only do sweet potatoes make for a great lower carb, higher nutrient, healthier food option, but they offer carotenoids which can be an excellent measure towards fighting cancer.
“It's flaxseed muffin month. Flaxseed muffin in the morning, flaxseed muffin at night - I have trouble lifting my toothbrush.” Kyon Gillmore Girls Omega-3s fall in the category of “good” fats and offer great benefits against cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Not only has the discovery of Omega 3 fatty acids helped to uncover that there are good fats, but these are exceptionally helpful in the prevention of cancer and other health problems. Adequate supply of omega-3 fatty acids seems to be much more difficult to obtain from our Western diet. Our bodies are incapable of making them on their own and can only http://www.naturalhealingcollege.com/contact/
be provided by our diet. Omega-3 fats help prevent the development of the new blood vessels essential to cancerous cell growth. Flax seed provides a higher concentration of omega-3 than any other plant. Flax seed is obtained from the flax plant, which is grown all over the United States. It is widely available whole, ground or in the form of flaxseed oil from health food stores and many groceries stores. One of the easy ways to get omega-3s in your diet is incorporating a tablespoon of milled flax seeds into your breakfast cereal, yogurt or smoothies. In addition to flax seeds, olive oil, almonds and walnuts, avocado, and fish such as wild salmon, tuna, and sardines are also good source of Omega-3’s. By adding these good fats to your diet you are making a huge effort towards cancer prevention and really working to protect your health in the long term as well. In summary making the above mentioned foods a part of your daily diet serves many great long term benefits for yourself and your family. These foods have great power and can help us avoid being part of another cancer trend that has plagued us worldwide.
You are in control of what you eat. Now you see what the true super foods are and why they are so important in cancer prevention and strengthening your long term health picture.

Learning to Really Take Care of Yourself and Using Proper Nutrition at the Core Now you not only see what the right foods are, but what makes them such exceptional choices. You might have realized that there was power in food before, but now there is simply no denying just how beneficial the right foods can really be. As it relates to cancer, food can be one of the most important weapons towards prevention and therefore making the right choices are critical. Think of the statistics that surround cancer and then it can help you in focusing in on the right foods-Everyday 1500 people will die of cancer this year in the United States. To put this in perspective this is equivalent to 4 Boeing 747 planes full of passengers crashing daily. Cancer has touched each and every one of our lives in some way or another. Either we have been directly affected by cancer in our own lives, or perhaps we know of somebody who has. The truth is that cancer is all around us and if we would just make the lifestyle change and focus on good clean living with the right foods at the center, we would be in much better shape. By getting rid of the elements that contribute to cancer, we are making a very important choice. By changing our lifestyles and really learning to take care of ourselves, we are slowly but surely taking steps towards cancer prevention. When we learn to focus on the right foods and embrace the great power of nutrition as part of our healthy lifestyle, then we are moving towards cancer prevention in its fullest. Putting aside all of the other things on our schedule to learn to really take care of ourselves is what matters. If you can take time out to really take care of yourself and really learn to embrace what healthy living means, then you are making crucial changes that will benefit your health—and which will help every little bit in the prevention of cancer. It doesn’t matter what your family history is, what your lifestyle today is composed of, or what risks that you have—if you can make the right decisions now in terms of your health then you are investing in yourself. The time for change is now and everything you do to take care of yourself will help you to achieve better health and to work towards effective cancer prevention.

You now know what it takes to work towards cancer preventions, and good healthy choices are at the center of your journey. As a society we tend to turn to medication readily as we are told that is the only way. Though medication can have its place in certain areas, working towards prevention is always the first route that you should try. What you know now is that there is great power in food and that in some instances, food may be more powerful and effective than medicine.
Applying The Lessons of Our Ancestors With The Power of Food For centuries cultures have embraced the innate power of certain foods. There’s a reason that super foods have come to be known in our society, and in many cases their roots travel back far. What our ancestors knew was that certain foods were powerful, and now it’s time to embrace that knowledge and put it to work in your own life. Yes cancer is a very real, very common, and very destructive disease—but the steps that you take today can mean everything. Working towards prevention even early on in your life can really help you to gain an advantage over a disease and turn your health towards the positive. Food is the vehicle to help you to get there, so changing the way that you eat is a very effective choice. Food has great power and fueling proper nutrition can only help you to get the best possible results with your health. When it comes to cancer prevention specifically, the foods listed here and the choices that you make will help you tremendously. By making a simple switch to these true super foods, you can enjoy better health in the short term and work towards cancer prevention in the long term. The right food offers you the power—and now it’s up to you to make the changes that can positively affect your life in every way!
