Many of the vegetables that are part of a healthy diet belong the genus Allium. These include onions, garlic, shallots, scallions, leeks and chives. These vegetables are also known for their anti-cancer properties, which have been reported by numerous studies. In a recent study published in the journal BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine, researchers from Iran investigated … Continue reading Researchers explore the anti-cancer potential of a local onion from Iran
ONIONS are just as effective as chemotherapy at beating cancer
The foods that you eat have a huge impact on your health. While some can serve as natural remedies, others can be the cause of a disease. For instance, processed foods, which are laden with added sugar, unhealthy fats and simple carbs, are linked to many chronic diseases, including colon cancer. On the other hand, … Continue reading ONIONS are just as effective as chemotherapy at beating cancer
Western diets still contain too much processed meat and not enough fish, warn researchers
The average American still eats too much processed meat and not enough fish, according to researchers from Tufts University in Boston. In their report, which appeared in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, the team revealed that not much has changed in the past 18 years: U.S. adults still consume the same amount of processed meat, … Continue reading Western diets still contain too much processed meat and not enough fish, warn researchers
Cancer Genes May Have Been Epigenetically Silenced Over Time
The factors contributing to the development of cancer in an individual are often complex and varied. Sometimes they are more straightforward, like when someone carries a specific gene known to indicate cancer risk; for example, specific mutations of BRCA1 or BRCA2 are linked to breast cancer. But usually, these risk factors are not so directly observable, making cancer … Continue reading Cancer Genes May Have Been Epigenetically Silenced Over Time
Celebrities are beating cancer and avoiding opioids for pain relief by turning to cannabis instead
For many years, surgery, chemotherapy and radiation were promoted as the only effective options in the treatment of cancer. In recent years, however, an increasing number of people have been turning to alternative ways to beat this deadly disease. One of the most popular – and effective – of these natural treatments is the once … Continue reading Celebrities are beating cancer and avoiding opioids for pain relief by turning to cannabis instead
Study: Supplementing with Vitamin D improves lifespan of cancer patients
Vitamin D provides a number of health benefits – aiding in heart health, immune function and bone strength. In a recent study, researchers from Michigan State University revealed that vitamin D can even prolong the lifespan of cancer patients, if taken for at least three years. “Vitamin D had a significant effect on lowering the risk of death among those with cancer,” explained … Continue reading Study: Supplementing with Vitamin D improves lifespan of cancer patients
How does oral microbiota increase liver cancer risk?
Poor oral hygiene not only affects dental health, causing tooth decay and gum disease, but it can also lead to heart disease and diabetes. Now, recent research suggests that poor oral health can also increase your risk of developing certain cancers. A study published in the United European Gastroenterology Journal found an association between poor oral health and an … Continue reading How does oral microbiota increase liver cancer risk?
Hydrogen Inhalation Treats Brain Cancer
An important case study of a 47 year old woman suffering from multiple tumors of the brain showed how important hydrogen medicine will be in the future of medicine and modern oncology. In my book on Hydrogen Medicine I have already written on using hydrogen for cancer patients. This study sustains what I have written and what I believe, … Continue reading Hydrogen Inhalation Treats Brain Cancer
Epigenetic Signature Found in Blood Predicts Chances of Getting Breast Cancer
If a woman could get a blood test telling her whether or not she’s likely to develop breast cancer, preventative measures could be taken, doctors could monitor her health, and she could explore potential options even before the cancer has started. A blood test like this could be possible as a result of new research … Continue reading Epigenetic Signature Found in Blood Predicts Chances of Getting Breast Cancer
Epigenetic Marks on DNA May Indicate Breast Cancer Risks
It’s hard not to know someone who has been affected by breast cancer. Nearly one in eight women will battle this disease in her lifetime and for those women affected it becomes the battle for their life. Early detection and medical advances stem the tide of this disease, but each study brings us a little … Continue reading Epigenetic Marks on DNA May Indicate Breast Cancer Risks
