15 Foods to Cancer-Proof Your Body

Vegetables at the market

My friend and colleague, Greg Ashby, who is a Health Coach on our team, has written an informative listing of foods that help in combating cancer in the body.

My experience in working with cancer has shown me that incorporating these types of foods and herbs, into your daily diet, can play a powerful role in supporting the body’s efforts to heal and thrive.  In fact, this entire company was founded on the premise:

“Food is Medicine”

We work tirelessly to share our philosophy of food’s ability to help in healing the body from all disease.

15 Foods to Cancer-Proof Your Body

Greg Ashby, CHHC, AADP lives in Ogden, Utah, is an Integrative Health Coach and Functional Nutrition Consultant, and has been in the Health and Wellness industry for over 20 years.

Because of his experience with Cancer, Adrenal and Thyroid disorders, he’s committed to Autoimmunity and Cancer prevention and management.  He enjoys studying the Psychology of Eating and Behavioral disorders.

While there are many healing foods available to us, here are 15 of the top herbs, fruits, vegetables and nuts to benefit you and your family by protecting you from chronic inflammation and possibly even disease.

1. Sea Vegetables, such as Arama, Kombu, Hijiki, Nori and Wakame (they sound fancy, but most can be found in the international food section of your local health foods market).

Chronic inflammation and oxidative stress are risk factors for the genesis of cancer. Sea vegetables contain a variety of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds and this nutrient combination has been shown to deliver some risk-lowering benefits in the case of colon cancer and other cancer types.

2. Turmeric (the active ingredient is curcumin) has anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative benefits on blood vessel tissue lining by suppressing inflammation and/or the effects of oxidative stress (think of oxidative stress as cellular rusting). Studies have shown that curcumin can reduce the formation of blood vessels in tumors called angiogenesis. Turmeric, especially curcumin, helps to prevent changes on a molecular level. When cooking with turmeric, use coconut oil and black pepper to enhance the uptake and benefits of curcumin.

Curcumin has been shown to have significant antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activity. New research shows that it can both shrink cancer tumors and inhibit blood supply growth to tumors. It is a powerful antioxidant with liver protective benefits.

3. Resveratrol is a potent antioxidant found in red grape skins, pomegranate, raw cacao, peanuts, raspberries and mulberries, which are known to have numerous beneficial health effects. Resveratrol is a compound that contributes to the antioxidant potential of red grapes, and has antioxidant and antimutagenic (anti-cancer) properties.

4. Green Tea benefits come through water-soluble polyphenols (called  EGCG , or catechins) extracted from the leaves. Evidence shows that almost every organ system is benefited by these polyphenols.

Green tea offers cardioprotective, neuroprotective, anti-obesity, anti-carcinogenic, anti-diabetic, anti-atherogenic, liver protective and blood vessel health benefits.

Research has shown beneficial effects are seen in doses of 3 to 5 cups of strong green tea as well as from 500 to 1000 mg of EGCG extract in supplement form taken daily.

5. Wasabi has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties as well as aid in detoxification and induction of death (apoptosis) of cancer cells.

6. Kimchi has been shown to have anticarcinogenic properties, as well as enhancing immune function.

7. Cruciferous Vegetables include broccoli, kale, cabbage and cauliflower.  These vegetables contain cancer-fighting components such as sulforaphane. One of the main targets of sulforaphane is  cancer stem cells, where it’s been shown to slow the growth of tumors.

8. Most all berries have a power-punch phytonutrient called anthocyanins, which research shows actually slows down the growth of precancerous cells.

9. Tomatoes contain power! The power lies in a carotenoid called lycopene, which has been shown to stop endometrial cancer cell growth as well as potentially other cancers. The trick is to use fresh, cooked tomatoes. The heating increases the body’s uptake of lycopene.

10. Walnuts contain phytosterols that block estrogen receptor cells in breast tissues, slowing growth.

11. Garlic may lower the risk of colon cancer by blocking a carcinogen called nitrosamines, a chemical compound that has been shown to  increase the risk colon cancer.

12. Beans may lower colon cancer risk by raising butyrate, a fatty acid, which has a protective effect against the growth of cancer.

13. Astragalus is a Chinese herb and an immune system booster known to stimulate the body’s natural production of interferon. It also helps the immune system identify rogue cells. Studies show that work with this herb in both cancer and AIDS cases is encouraging. The MD Anderson Cancer Centre in Texas conducted research showing that taking astragalus when having radiotherapy doubled survival times.

14. Cat’s Claw is an adaptogen and powerful immune-stimulant, cat’s claw enhances the white cells clean up process (phagocytosis). It is an excellent companion to astragalus, curcumin and echinacea. Research indicates that it can reduce tumor size particularly with skin cancers. It also helps reduce the side-effects of chemo and radiotherapy.

15. Medicinal Mushrooms have been known for centuries to contain cancer and disease preventing properties. Their particular area of focus is the immune system. They are anti-inflammatory, non-toxic and great for daily use.

The 25 Steps to Cancer-Proof Your Body

Is there a “cure” for Cancer?

Yes. Don’t get it in the first place!

Recently, the Journal of the National Cancer Institute released a major study showing that consuming large amounts of fat, especially saturated fats from red meat and dairy products like milk, cheese, ice cream, butter, increases your risk of contracting Pancreatic Cancer by 36%. Click here to read more.

Did you catch that?  36% more likely to get cancer!

This report got me fired up because I’ve been preaching for years about how toxic red meat and dairy are to the human body.

People ask me all the time,  “How did you rid your body of cancer?”

Today, I’m sharing with you the program I followed over 25 years ago while fighting a terminal cancer condition.  I was given just six months to live.

So read this article.  Print it out.  Follow the advice religiously for the next 97 days.  Then, listen to your body and you will hear it say, “Thank You”.

You Are What You Eat

The reason so many people in America get cancer is because of the food we eat. The Standard American Diet (SAD) is so destructive to the body.

In Okinawa, cancer rates are one-sixth what they are in America. Breast cancer is unheard of, same for Prostate cancer in men.

Until recently, they didn’t eat McDonald’s burgers or drink Diet Coke and Pepsi loaded with artificial sweeteners or high fructose, corn syrup Slur-pees. And they didn’t smoke cigarettes, cigars or chews tobacco. They do now and their cancer rates are changing.

One thing they DON’T DO is drink milk from cows! Instead they mash up soybeans and mix it with pure ocean water to create their own Soy Milk.

You are what you eat. If you eat dead flesh and rotting dairy, what do you think will happen to you?

Get "Chinese Skinny" with Fast Start!

FAT FACTOID
40% of American adults have “Pre-Diabetes”.
80% with Type 2 Diabetes are overweight or obese.
Blacks have a 51% higher propensity for obesity.
Hispanics have 21% higher propensity for obesity.
The Appalachia Region and Southeast have the highest rates of obesity & diabetes.

Why are the Chinese always so skinny?

Americans look like blobs compared to them. A staggering 67% are overweight and even worse, 33% of us are “obese”! And it’s getting worse, by the day.

Want the lowdown on the Chinese’ big secret? We have it – all natural of course – and it’s the biggest diet news in the decade.

If you ever go to China, mark my words, you’ll never see a fat Chinese person. The only fat people you will see are the tourists!

The Chinese are always moving. They are running here or there, on a bike or on a rickshaw and have inexhaustible stores of pure dynamite energy.

They never sit down for even a second. They even eat on the run! The entire country is ONE BIG PERPETUAL MOTION MACHINE. Being there is like being trapped in a Jackie Chan movie that won’t stop!

It’s the GREEN TEA, Stupid!

The answer to their epidemic of skinny-ness was staring me right in the face! Apart from running everywhere at a 100mph, all Chinese drink copious amounts of Green Tea every minute of the day.

Every business meeting starts with a big teapot full of Green Tea placed in the center of the table.

Just go to your local Chinatown and eat at a good, family-run restaurant. A pot of hot Green Tea will be plonked down in seconds. They can’t help it, It’s in their DNA.

I got so hooked on drinking Green Tea while I was there, I came back with boxes and boxes. (In fact I’m drinking a big mug of it as I write this article – one of about 8 mugs I’ll have today.)

Why are the Chinese so Skinny and Cancer Free?

“It is 100 times more effective than Vitamin C and 25 times better than Vitamin E.”

Why Colon Cancer Returns

I subscribe to Reuter’s News Service, and thank God I do, because this latest breaking news just came over the Internet about the disturbing recurrence of Colon Cancer.

Best of all, this article detailed results from a 5 Year Study, showing the dramatic effect of the Standard American Diet (SAD) on the recurrence rate.

Please read this news alert – it could save your life or someone you love or know, or think could benefit.

Green Tea Stops Colon Cancer in its Tracks‏

In Los Angeles, the entertainment capital of the world, a man called Hal Fishman became a giant TV star in an unlikely way, by being serious.

The Brooklyn-born broadcaster delivered the evening news in Los Angeles for nearly five decades, an unprecedented run of longevity, that continued until just late last month, when he was diagnosed with colon cancer. He spent a bare 3 weeks fighting this horrific disease before he succumbed.

Hal was a fabulous person, a wonderful newsman, one who immersed himself in “news” every day of his life. It’s a tragic irony that this latest-breaking news is something that could have saved him if he could only have read it in time. (HAROLD FISHMAN) 1931-2007

Colon Cancer has over 50% Fatality Rate

There are a staggering 363,000 new case of colorectal cancer every year, with an estimated 945,000 globally. More sobering is the fact that 492,000 deaths occur from this cancer each year, over 50% fatality rate.

But just last week, some giant news surfaced that revealed that humble Green Tea can stop colon cancer in its tracks. (There are some important provisions to this, so read on to learn the full facts.)
