Saving Yourself from
Cancer – the Prostate (case in point) |
|
I could have picked any
one of the many kinds of cancer which threaten your life for the
discussions that follow. One advantage of using prostate cancer for
my example is that the male-dominated medical business has been more
willing to accept the diet-cancer connection, and the short-comings of
early detection and treatment, for this exclusively male-disease, than
they have been for the predominantly female disease, breast cancer. Breast
cancer is essentially the same disease in women as prostate cancer is in

Fish is Not Health Food |
|
Many
health professionals and scientists are recommending fish to improve your
health and especially, to reduce your risk of suffering from heart
disease. Japanese are the most-recognized example of a fish-eating
population enjoying a low incidence of diseases common to Americans (heart
disease, breast cancer, diabetes, etc.), and a trim appearance. Plus,
people living in Japan have the longest life expectancy of any country in
the world. But, I believe these advantages are in spite of the fish,
rather than because of the fish. Japanese are healthy primarily because
they eat a diet based on rice with lots of vegetables – fortunately for
them; they eat fish only as a condiment. |

associated with progression of artery disease based upon heart scans
(serial electron beam tomography - EBT). |

Vegan Diet Damages Baby’s
Brain – Sensationalism! |
|
National news agencies carried a story about a January 31,
2003 report from the CDC on two young children who developed problems with
brain development as a result of breast feeding from mothers on a vegan
(pure vegetarian) diet. The cause was suspected to be vitamin B-12
deficiency and in both cases treatment with B-12 corrected most of their
troubles. |
