Health Tip of the Week - Cancer

6.03.08

When president Richard Nixon launched the war on cancer in the 1970s, cancer was the third leading cause of death in our country.  Now more than thirty years later, it is the number one killer.  From toddlers to senior adults, no single group is immune.  Why hasn’t it been stopped?  What went wrong?

I believe the answer to these questions lies, in part, with a lack of recognition that many cancers have a known cause.  You’ve probably seen the commercials for Gardasil, the relatively new cervical cancer vaccine.  On many of those commercials, it is clearly stated that “human papilloma virus causes cervical cancer”.  This fact is well known and there’s really no disputing it.   My personal belief is that the vast majority of cancers are viral.  We know there are lymphoma, sarcoma and leukemia viruses in cows, cats and other animals – why not humans?

All known carcinogens have at least one thing in common.  They all suppress your immune system.  It’s obvious that anyone with a suppressed immune system is more vulnerable to viral activation. Take, for example, what happened to AIDS patients in the 1980s.  They developed multiple types of cancers – and many of them unusual or rare cancers.  You know that we live in a toxic world that’s full of immune-suppressing substances.  So how do you prevent cancer?  Boost your immune system!

Boosting your immune system is accomplished through systematically detoxifying your body by using nutritional supplements, dietary intervention and cleansing techniques.  In next week’s health tip I’ll talk more specifically about how this can be done.  Stay tuned.  I think you’ll be surprised when you learn what I believe may be the single most important detoxification step you can take.

Blessings and good health,
