Press Release Summary = From the desk of Dr Magne, author of Cancer Free For Life

Press Release Body = Cancer starts with the mutation of the genetic materials in the
chromosome of the affected cell. It becomes a grossly abnormal cell that continues
to multiply incessantly, devoid of the normal control mechanisms, to billions of
cells which form tumours and invade other tissues, causing much pain, and suffering.

The key is to reverse this genetic damage. And the key to preventing cancer is to
prevent the damage.
It is obvious that this strategy must involve removing the predisposing factors, and
to empower healing systems of the body to do their work efficiently. Cancer results
from the failure of the prevention, and repair systems of the body that are meant to
stop cancer cells from developing, or from surviving, multiplying, and spreading.

The contributing factors can be hormonal (breast, ovarian, uterine and prostate
cancers), infection (hepatitis virus for liver cancer and HPV for cervical cancer),
free radical and chemical damage, radiation (including sun exposure), nutritional
deficiency, and others.

To protect your genes, first, you must prevent sun damage. Cancer patients should
realise that skin free radicals add to the total free radical load and require
plenty of antioxidants to neutralise, depriving that available for the rest of the
body.

Next, you have to avoid getting toxins into your body, especially through smoking,
and unfortunately, some foods that we eat (fruits and veggies that are contaminated
with pesticides, and fish and meats contaminated with chemicals and heavy metals).
You also have to get rid of as much of the toxins that are already in you.

Our cells have to repair their chromosomes, which are continually damaged by
free-radicals and chemicals. At the same time, we have to make millions of new cells
daily to replace the dying cells. So the requirement for nucleic acid cannot be
ignored. It is also an important item in my anti-ageing prescription. I use
plant-derived nucleic acids as a supplement.

Free radicals are the major culprit causing genetic damage, and antioxidants are
their antidote. Fruits, veggies and green foods are excellent sources of
cancer-fighting antioxidants.

Some hormones influence the onset and progress of certain cancers. Breast, ovarian
(most types), uterine, testicular and prostate cancers are influenced by hormones,
and so hormones and hormone-analogues or their receptor-blockers are used in many
cases.

We have not fully understood the roles hormones play in other cancers, and when we
do, we will discover that they are much more important than we previously thought.
For example, the female sex hormone progesterone has long been underestimated as a
valuable tool to balance the harmful effects of oestrogen. It is not only about
having the hormones in their optimum levels, but also balancing them as some work
synergistically, some against, and others complementary, to one another.

Treating cancer patients will not be complete if the hormones that regulate
metabolism and other important functions are not looked into, as only the
well-functioning body can heal itself properly.

There are of course certain cancerous and non-cancerous tumours which involve the
glandular cells and produce excessive hormones, or conversely, cause severe
reduction in hormone levels.
An effective anti-cancer diet incorporated plenty of fruits and veggies (preferably
fresh, raw, and organic) providing an abundance of protective nutrients and fibre.

You can eat tons of veggies without ever worrying of growing fat, because they are
loaded with nutrients but have minimal calories. The only exceptions are the starchy
ones, which are not actually vegetables anyway. If you take spinach, you will lose
weight while you gain nutrients (more calories are required to chew, digest and
absorb spinach than the calories it contains).

Fruits are excellent sources of cancer fighting nutrients too, even though they
contain more calories. Go for variety as each fruit has nutrients that others don't
have. An alternative way to ingest the goodness of fruits and veggies is by juicing.
However, it takes a lot of commitment to continue doing this. If you do, you will
find much pleasure in drinking various delicious concoctions, limited only by your
creativity. With high-power juicing, it is also possible to juice the whole fruit
and get 100% of the nutrients.

The anti-cancer diet should also include plenty of other raw, unprocessed foods
(greens, grains, legumes, nuts, etc ) with lots of anti-oxidants, vitamins,
minerals, enzymes, co-enzymes, fibre and probiotics (healthy bacteria). Eat more
foods with known anti-cancer nutrients, for example, carrots for beta-carotene;
tomatoes and watermelons; mushrooms; and others. Include essential fats (fish and
plant oils) and essential amino acids (sufficient if you take a well-balanced diet)
as well.

Reduce red meat, and burnt meat (BBQ or overfried), excess sugars and excess salt
should be avoided. This diet is not only anti-cancer, it will also protect you
against most of the chronic diseases like heart disease, stroke and diabetes, and
will slow down your ageing.
