Help those around you gain the knowledge to prevent these fictitious diseases, and do your part to stop poisoning your body with cancer-causing foods (like processed meats and most manufactured foods) and substances (like popular personal care products that contain cancer-causing fragrance chemicals). If you want to find the cure for cancer, just BE the cure for cancer. Go outside and get some sunlight. That's prevention for at least three different types of cancers right there. Drink some water. Take some herbs, vitamins and immune-boosting nutritional supplements.

Cures for cancer already exist, but not in the realm of chemical-based medicine, says holistic nutritionist Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Merely eating processed meats, recent studies show, boosts your risk of pancreatic cancer by 7600%! Conventional medicine remains clueless on cancer So to say that there is a cure for cancer isn't even a stretch. In fact, the bewildering belief is the one held by conventional medicine, which insists that there is no cure for cancer. That is absolutely stunning in its ignorance, because every person alive has already cured cancer. And the body is preprogrammed with the ability to cure cancer on its own. (Drug companies, of course, don't want you to realize this.

That's why the daily consumption of processed meats has now been clinically shown to produce a 6,700% increase in the risk of pancreatic cancer! Guinea pig people And what is this ingredient again? Sodium nitrite! When you ingest sodium nitrite, it mixes with the digestive juices of your stomach and creates a class of chemical compounds called nitrosamines. These nitrosamines are potent cancer-causing chemicals.

Well, there's sodium nitrate, which is in almost every processed meat product, found in every grocery store in the world, so if you just eliminate processed meats, your cancer risk plummets. You should also eliminate hydrogenated oils and partially-hydrogenated oils, both of which strongly promote cancer. Eliminate homogenized milk and dairy products. Stop drinking liquids excreted from the glands of other species. (You thirsty pervert...) Eliminate all red meat from your diet. Eliminate all liquid refined sugar, such as soft drinks made of high-fructose corn syrup.

Teach the nation about nutrition Here's the big challenge in this country and around the world in all industrialized nations. The big challenge is: How do you teach a population to make healthy food choices? How do you really accomplish that?

That's why people who consume processed meats have a risk of pancreatic cancer that is 67% percent higher than everybody else. You've got added salts, artificial colors, all kinds of preservatives and monosodium glutamate (MSG) hidden in foods. It all starts with the foods, so all this talk about who's going to pay for the disease is all just a distraction so no one has to talk about the foods and the beverages that are causing these diseases in the first place. The food and beverage companies, of course, would love to keep it that way.

These are your best choice when it comes to processed meats, and fresh, organic meats are even better! sulfites Sulfites are added to foods as both a color fixative and preservative. The Food and Drug Administration estimates that one out of every hundred people is sulfite-sensitive. Asthmatics are particularly at risk. Reactions range from severe to mild, and may include acute asthma attack, loss of consciousness, anaphylactic shock, diarrhea, nausea, brain fog, muscle aches, headaches, and extreme fatigue.

MSG is present in most processed meats, including bacon, breakfast sausage, beef jerky and pepperoni. Almost all of these contain MSG, but you can read food labels to find out which ones do and which ones don't. Some people are so unwilling to change their diet that they simply refuse to stop eating these dangerous foods. In fact, they opt to undergo surgery instead. That's a choice I do not understand.

For example, implement a lifestyle of eating fermented soy products and avoiding red meat, especially processed meats. Avoid hydrogenated oils and consume healthy oils instead -- olive oil, macadamia nut oil, salmon oil and flax oil, for example. Eat lots of nuts and seeds in their raw, unprocessed state. Avoid milk and dairy products, food additives, added sugars, artificial food coloring and artificial sweeteners. You know the drill. You know how to be healthy. You know how to prevent breast cancer. It's not that difficult to prevent.

These nasty little toxins are primarily used as color fixatives for processed meats such as bacon, sausage, hot dogs, cold cuts, meat spreads, deviled and cured ham, and smoke-cured tuna and salmon. High levels of nitrates can also be found in vegetables that have been grown in soil heavily fertilized with nitrate fertilizers.

In some colon cancer studies, the association has been limited to consumption of sausage or other processed meats.30'31 The association between cancer and consumption of meat depends in part on how well the meat is cooked. Well-done meat contains more carcinogenic material than does lightly cooked meat.32 Recent evidence from preliminary studies shows that people who eat well-done,33 fried or heavily-browned meat34 have a high risk of colon cancer. However, not every report has found that exposure to carcinogens found in well-done meat leads to an increased risk of colon cancer.

Sources of phenylalanine include monosodium glutamate (MSG), the artificial sweetener aspartame, and nitrates, which can be found in processed meats, especially hot dogs. If you do have an allergy or a sensitivity, eliminate the troublesome food or foods from your diet. Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and sugar products (including artificial sweeteners). Do not consume sugary foods. They cause your blood-sugar level to rise sharply and then crash; often, the result is a headache. Very cold foods can also cause headaches. Ice cream and cold drinks are frequent culprits, so avoid them.

Lactose is added to many different types of processed food, including breads, canned and powdered soups, cookies, pancake mixes, powdered drink mixes such as flavored coffees, processed breakfast cereals, processed meats, and salad dressings. Q If you are pregnant and have a family history of lactose intolerance, give serious consideration to breast-feeding your baby. If that is not possible, choose a nondairy baby formula, such as a soy-based product. Considerations Q There are several tests used to measure the absorption of lactose into the digestive system.

Some foods high in calories—such as cookies, cakes, french fries, cheese, whole milk, cream, butter, ice cream, fatty fresh and processed meats, poultry skin and fat, lard, palm oil, coconut oil, miscellaneous fats, oils, and spreads—must be eliminated. Q The best way to lose weight—and virtually the only way to maintain weight loss—is to adopt a healthier, more active lifestyle. A lifestyle that includes a natural, healthy diet and regular exercise will keep you healthy; give you more energy; lower your risk of heart disease, stroke, and cancer; and still allow you to lose weight.

Processed meats, such as hot dogs, contain nitrates and nitrites—precursors to carcinogens. Antioxidants (page 467) found in multivitamins keep nitrates and nitrites from converting into those carcinogens. Therefore, the association between vitamin consumption in children and protection against childhood cancers remains plausible, though unproven. Fish Fish eaters have been reported to have low risks of cancers of the mouth, throat, stomach, colon, rectum, pancreas,32 lung,33 breast,34 and prostate.

No longer consume packaged meats or processed meats of any kind. At the same time, start eating healthy, plant-based fats. That includes things like raw nuts, seeds and healthy plant oils like olive oil, avocado oil, or even cocoa oil, which is the fat from chocolate. Make sure you get your oils from plants, and if necessary, if you still need some meat, you can eat oily fish such as salmon in order to get oils from those fish. Just watch out for the heavy metal content of fish or seafood.

To further improve your picture, avoid the consumption of foods that promote cancer such as packaged, processed meats, which contain cancer-causing sodium nitrate. In all, people can reduce the risk of breast cancer by 90 percent to 95 percent. These strategies are very effective. They're extremely low-cost and yet they are completely ignored by the conventional cancer industry. It's just common sense that if you stop causing cancer and support your body in curing its own cancer, you're going to be cancer-free.

Allowed the continued legal use of harmful, cancer-causing food additives in the national food supply such as sodium nitrite (which causes cancer and yet is intentionally added to nearly all processed meats). Refused to ban a poisonous artificial fat from the food supply (hydrogenated oils) for decades, even though the World Health Organization urged member nations to outlaw the substance in 1978. Hydrogenated oils continue to harm infants, children, and adults today.

Yet, tons of these preservatives are still added to luncheon meats, hot dogs, bacon, and other processed meats. The only reason we are not up to our ears in cases of stomach cancer is that vitamin C significantly inhibits the formation of the powerful nitrosamines. Most studies agree that the fall in stomach cancer over the past three decades is due to increased consumption of vitamin C. In fact, recent research indicates that certain flavonoids commonly found in green vegetables and fruits may inhibit these carcinogenic substances up to three hundred times better than vitamin C.

If that is not possible, buy minimally processed meats, and avoid the meat of animals that were injected with antibiotics and hormones or that were fed animal feces. I was shocked to learn that on some of the big corporate farms, chickens are fed pig feces: this is one of the most disgusting forms of recycling I have ever heard of. Meat from wild game is probably the safest to eat. It is low in fat, and because game animals graze on grasses, berries, and other plants containing healthy omega-3 fatty acids, it is also naturally higher in omega-3 fatty acids than commercial meats are.

Other sources of cholesterol oxides include dried-egg products, powdered milk, grated cheeses, and processed meats. The oxidation of unsaturated fats and cholesterol that occurs during cooking also takes place in the open air at room temperature, although at a much slower rate. For this reason, butter, nuts, vegetable oils, and other foods that contain unstable fats should be protected from exposure to air and kept refrigerated as much as possible. In contrast to the "bad fats" described above, so-called "essential fatty acids" (EFAs) have a number of beneficial effects.

Research shows us that this substance could aggravate or even trigger asthma attacks, anaphylactic shock, and other respiratory tract problems. In processed meats such as baloney, polony, and Vienna or hotdog sausages (which, by the way, are made of the leftover snouts, udders, lips, eyes, and ears), sodium nitrate and nitrite are used as colorants and preservatives.
