Cancer Prevention - Part Three

by Dr. Robert Swain

We are getting to the last few strategies.  So here they are.

Cancer Strategy #8:  Free Radicals Promote Cancer By Damaging DNA

One of the causes of cancer is excessive free radical damage in your cells that harms your DNA and results in some cells mutating into cancerous cells. Every chemical and toxin in you body causes free radical damage. Combined with high acidity and low oxygenation, you've got a prescription for cancer.

Processed foods generate more free radicals than whole foods, and have fewer nutrients to act as free radical scavengers to help protect you from those free radicals. On top of this, you are exposed to 70,000 chemicals — 20,000 of which are known cancer-causing agents. These all cause free radical damage.

Cancer Strategy #9:  Low Levels of Enzymes Always Found In Cancer

Researchers have noted for years a correspondence between low enzyme levels and cancer. Your pancreatic enzymes destroy cancer cells. The major reason enzymes levels become depleted is that we eat mostly processed, irradiated, and cooked food.

The digestive system was designed to process raw food. Raw food, when it is picked ripe, has enzymes in it that help break down that food in the upper stomach where it sits for 30 to 45 minutes. The enzymes in the food predigest that food. Then in the lower stomach the pancreas excretes more enzymes.

When you eat cooked, irradiated, and processed foods, the enzymes have been killed; the food does not predigest in the upper stomach. The pancreas must make extra enzymes to try and break down the food.  Food that is not completely digested all too often makes its way into the bloodstream. Especially true if you have leaky gut syndrome from Candida overgrowth.

This partially digested food is treated as a toxin.

Taking a good quality enzyme supplement with meals — one that has high levels of protease to digest protein, lipase to digest fat — and amylase to digest carbohydrates helps break down food in the upper stomach improved digestion and, on an empty stomach, to get into the body. 

Cancer Strategy #10:  Cancer Cells Have Low Subtle Energy Vibrations

You can raise the vibratory levels of your cells. One way is to drink fluids that have been energized.

Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs) are another possible cause of cancer.   Electronic appliances cell phones, computer screens and microwaves are among the biggest offenders, but even the clock radio by the side of your bed is putting out unhealthy levels of EMFs. Your car puts out quite a bit of it.

A Swedish study has found that heavy users of cell phones had a 240 percent increase in brain tumors on the side of their head that the phone was used on.

I only have two strategies left.  This is such an important subject that I did not want to short change you on the information available.  Space has run out here, so next month I will sum up this article on cancer. 

You can always call or email me for more info on this or any subject.  Have a great and healthy day.  Dr. Bob
