Fight cancer and heart disease with one crunchy snack
By Dr.Allan Spreen
'I keep sunflower seeds in my kitchen cabinets, at my desk, and in the car. These crunchy seeds contain lots of natural vitamin E. In fact, just a quarter cup of sunflower seeds contains almost 100 percent of your Recommended Daily Allowance of this fat-soluble vitamin.
As you'll recall, vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that patrols your body for harmful free radicals that lead to disease and aging. It also blocks free radicals from damaging cholesterol in your body. You see, every cell in your body needs a certain amount of cholesterol, but when attacked by free radicals, it becomes oxidized (or unstable). And cholesterol, once it has oxidized, can stick to blood vessel walls and lead to atherosclerosis. But eating a handful of sunflower seeds each day will give your body the tools it needs to flush out these unstable molecules.
But that's not all...'

SERVE BROCCOLI WITH MUSTARD TO BEAT CANCER
'EATING broccoli with mustard can boost the vegetable’s cancer-fighting ability, scientists have found.
Adding radishes, rocket or wasabi, a form of Japanese horseradish, can have the same effect.
But overcooking the broccoli can kill the vital enzyme it contains. Steaming it quickly for just two to four minutes is the best way to preserve its well-known health benefits, say US scientists.'

Cancer is Not a Disease
'Cancer is a survival mechanism. The body allows cancer, tumors and other diseases to happen in order to compensate for an underlying problem. Andreas Moritz explains why suppressing symptoms of an underlying problem, like a cancerous tumor, can cause more harm than good. Medicine cannot cure when it's just suppressing symptoms. You treat disease by finding the root cause of the illness and treating that.'
A Cure For Cancer? Eating A Plant-Based Diet
'As it is now, one out of every two of us will get cancer or heart disease and die from it - an ugly and painful death as anyone who has witnessed it can attest. And starting in the year 2000, one out of every three children who are born after that year will develop diabetes--a disease that for most sufferers (those with Type 2 diabetes) is largely preventable with lifestyle changes. This is a rapidly emerging crisis, the seriousness of which I'm not sure we have yet recognized. The good news is, the means to prevent and heal disease seems to be right in front of us; it's in our food. Quite frankly, our food choices can either kill us - which mounting studies say that they are, or they can lift us right out of the disease process and into soaring health.'
How To Turn Off The Cancer Switch
Cancer Biology 101
A basic understanding of how cancer develops can help you take advantage of what nutrition has to offer. Food can and should be a part of your plan for reducing the risk of cancer, and the risk of getting cancer again if you’ve already had it.
There are three basic steps to cancer development. Obviously, the process is very complicated at the cellular level. But the three-step model explains the most important changes that lead to cancer. These three steps represent some of the best opportunities for preventing cancer from developing at all.'Read more...
How Shopping Carts May Be Our Greatest Weapon in the Health Care Fight
The jury is still out on what exactly may be causing all of these epidemics, but genetics don't change that quickly, the environment does. And increasing evidence points to the role that diet is playing in the onset of disease.
In a perfect world, we'd all be growing our own organic vegetable garden, but most of us don't yet live in that world. With picky eaters, limited time and a limited budget, we are trying to do the best we can with what we've got and are frustrated by the price discrepancy between conventional food and "organic" food at the grocery store.'
