Very glad to see that you have taken up the crucial importance of nutrition with regards to cancer. This is something very badly neglected by conventional medicine, I think because there is no profit in it and so no-one pushes it, yet there is masses of profit in drugs.

If you are interested in my research into a nutritional approach then email me on john@foodcures.net. I also think that the right nutrition is also essential for many degenerative diseases, but that is another subject!

Diet and lifestyle are very significant factors that affect cancer risk. A good diet that is rish in fresh fruits and veg, low in saturated fat, processed mean, and alcohol can reduce the chances of developing many cancers significantly.

John I disagree with you that "there is no profit" in the health food and nutritional supplements market. Just like pharmaceutical companies, these are very large coporprate enterprises which generate vast revenues. Profits are very much being made from selling people dietary supplements, food "free from" things like gluten etc,

Not that there is anything wrong with making an honest profit.

I too am frustrated by mainstream medicines lack of interest in anything outside of their training. My dad was diagnosed with a slow growing form of prostate cancer around three years ago. The consultant opted for a watch and wait approach as my dad was likely to die with it, due to his age, rather than from it. He was also recommended some supplements such as 'lycopene' and advised that meat has been indicated as a cause and therefore may be worth eliminating from his diet. My dad took this on board, expanded on it with the help of a Naturopath, had Psychic Surgery {yes really!!} and under took a course of Bi-aura treatments. Over time his steadily increasing PSA levels started to come down. He has gone from 14 to below 10 and yet none of the Consultants have asked how he has done it. Perhaps this is a natural pattern for the disease and it will climb again in the future but i was expecting it to carry on increasing and felt that the interventions my dad had undertaken had led to a very positive result. I wish the Consultants had been more interested, open and wanting to learn from his efforts.
