Did you know that  up to 50 percent  of all cancers are actually preventable? Genetics Is Not the Only Risk Factor for Cancer It is  estimated  that 40 out of 100 men and 39 out of 100 women in the United States will develop cancer during their lifetime. In addition to genetic factors, lifestyle, and eating habits, cancers are also caused by external carcinogenic factors.   For example, ultraviolet rays and ionizing radiation are physical carcinogens; and asbestos pollution in old buildings, alcohol, and aflatoxin in stale peanuts are chemical carcinogens. There are also some bacteria and viruses that can cause cancer, such as Helicobacter pylori—which we can be infected with through food and water consumption, as well as human papillomavirus. These are biological carcinogens. Cancer gene mutations may be difficult to control, but cancer can be prevented to a large extent if these external carcinogenic factors are effectively controlled, and healthy li...

Pancreatic cancer, which affects about 60,000 Americans every year, is one of the deadliest forms of cancer. After diagnosis, fewer than 10 percent of patients survive for five years. While some chemotherapies are initially effective, pancreatic tumors often become resistant to them. The disease has also proven difficult to treat with newer approaches such as immunotherapy. Dr Steve Bigelsen  Steve Bigelsen, MD is a physician specializing in Allergy and Asthma, who in July 2016 was diagnosed with pancreatic adenocarcinoma . He had tumors in the head and the tail with scattered peritoneal metastases and a CA19-9 of 11,575 U/ml. Working with physicians from Weill-Cornell and Johns Hopkins, he began treatment with gemcitabine and capecitabine, plus IV paricalcitol (an analog of Vitamin D) and hydroxychloroquine (an old malaria drug). Both of these are in clinical trials separately, however, no one had ever combined them. Both are relatively safe, inexpensive, and may be prescribed by ...

The majority of Americans might be misled by official health recommendations to eat “healthy” vegetable oils. Even the term “vegetable oil” is misleading because it gives you the impression that you are receiving vegetable micronutrients when these oils are actually highly toxic, industrially-processed seed oils. Seed oils are some of the most dangerous items you could eat. Tucker Goodrich and Dr Mercola discussed what will be the topic of Dr Mercola's next book, namely linoleic acid (LA), which he believed is likely the leading contributing cause of virtually all chronic diseases we've encountered over the last century. Unfortunately, this is a topic that most clinicians and health care practitioners who focus on natural medicine have only a superficial understanding of.   Goodrich has a business background as a stockbroker and asset manager, and developed an IT risk management system used by two of the largest hedge funds in the world. ...
