Kale is a rich source of various anti-cancer compounds. Being a member of the cruciferous family, it is endowed with anti-cancer indoles that help regulate estrogen and fight off colon cancer. It contains more beta carotene than spinach and twice as much lutein, the most of any vegetable tested. Kale is also high in the antioxidants Vitamin C. Collard Greens and other green leafy vegetables share similar benefits. Nuts All nuts have anti-cancer and heart-protective properties. Almonds and walnuts particularly help balance cholesterol levels.

Cabbage, especially raw sauerkraut (cooking cabbage appears to reduce these helpful plant chemicals), is rich in the anti-cancer compounds indole-3-carbinole (I3C), isothiocyanates (a type of beneficial compound found in Brassica vegetables), and sulforaphane. These compounds help activate and stabilize the body's antioxidant and detoxification mechanisms, which, in turn, eliminate cancer-producing substances. Cabbage intake has been linked to a lower incidence of colon, lung, cervical, and breast cancer.

Freshly crushed garlic is by far the best source of anti-cancer compounds and should be preferred over supplements. CHAPTER 8 Soy 101 We do not know exactly when the cultivation of soybeans began, but it is generally accepted that their domestication developed considerably in Manchuria, in today's Chinese provinces of Liaoning, Jilin, and Heilongjiang, about three thousand years ago, during the Zhou (Chou) dynasty (1 122-256 B.C.). At that time, soybeans were already considered one of the five sacred grains, along with barley, wheat, millet, and rice.

Lobelia), corns, felons, whitlows, and warts, boils and abscesses (hot seed poultice), pain and bruises, bums (linseed oil); hardened breast, liver, spleen, cervix and uterus; cancers, and tumors (in 3 months), Flax has 27 anti-cancer compounds (according to Dr. James Duke ofthe U.S.D.A.); for soft, hot, inflamed tumors ofthe palate and throat, salivary glands, neck, stomach, intestines, testes, external, hands and feet (Dr. Johanna Budwig).

Vitamin C In intercellular aqueous regions, protects fromnitrosamine formation from nitrites, and other carcinogens; quenches superoxides (not as well as SOD), hydroxy, and singlet oxygen radicals, and thereby forms two anti-cancer compounds; inhibits bladder cancer, and others (taking 1500 mg. per day added 300 more life days); strengthens the Immune system, stimulates Interferon production, empowers (and is highly concentrated in) Lymphocytes; anti-aging; taken with chemotherapy, limits peripheral damage; lowers radical inflammations, carried to a damaged heart by White blood cells.

In other words, you can "squeeze" a lot of broccoli - which is rich in anti-cancer compounds - into powdered broccoli capsules. A mere four capsules might contain the same phytochemicals as an entire serving of fresh broccoli florets. Through supplementation, you can intake large quantities of plant-based phytochemicals without needing to radically alter your eating habits. Of course, raw whole foods are always better, but in practical terms, whole food supplements are the only way most people are going to get these foods into their diets.

We have the possibility of deploying a veritable arsenal of anti-cancer compounds occurring naturally in many foods as a complement to the therapies now in use. We can seize this occasion to change the probabilities in our favour, since a diet based on a regular intake of nutraceuticals may indeed prevent the appearance of many types of cancers.

PHYTOCHEMICALS: AN ANTI-CANCER COCKTAIL ON YOUR DINNER PLATE!

We hope to succeed in communicating to you, the reader, our belief that a diet based on the constant intake of foods rich in anti-cancer compounds represents an indispensable weapon in the fight against cancer. In summary • Individual lifestyle choices play a major role in the risk of developing cancer. • Approximately one third of all cancers are directly related to diet. • Enjoying a diverse, balanced diet, rich in fruits and vegetables, coupled with controlled calorie intake to avoid weight gain is a simple and effective way of significantly reducing the risk of being struck by cancer.

In this way, we should try to think of cancer as a chronic disease, one that can be controlled on a daily basis with the help of foods rich in anti-cancer compounds. HEALTH: A MATTER OF EQUILIBRIUM BETWEEN BIOCHEMICAL REGULATORS Endogenes HEALTH / N (medication) Food Figure 14 drugs that interfere with the processes involved in the development of diseases such as cancer.

To summarize, the lowest incidence of cancer in individuals eating the most fruits and vegetables is directly related to the content of these fruits and vegetables in anti-cancer compounds; the presence of these compounds restricts the development of the microtumours that occur spontaneously in our tissues. A constant intake of specific anti-cancer substances provided by diet represents the basis of any strategy that aims to prevent the development of cancer.

In both cases, the result is similar: the time spent by these anti-cancer compounds in the body before being eliminated is increased, thus boosting their anti-cancer activity. 3. Quality It is also important to understand that many supplements do not contain the quantities of molecules that one would normally find in the whole foods. Without necessarily doubting the word, or at the very least, the printed claims, of manufacturers, it must be remembered that the great majority of phytochemical compounds are very reactive molecules and thus necessarily unstable.

Hoxsey's anti-cancer salves, based entirely on botanicals that we now know contain powerful anti-cancer compounds, actually work very well on cancer, as health authorities grudgingly admitted in court proceedings against Hoxsey decades ago. But that didn't stop them from attacking Hoxsey as a quack, discrediting his work, having him arrested and raiding his cancer treatment clinics on multiple occasions. This is why Hoxsey eventually moved his clinic to Mexico -- a country where health freedoms are still respected, unlike in the United States.

Early results suggested the existence of powerful anti-cancer compounds. The plant compounds called lignans are believed to be part of the reason that flaxseed exerts such powerful effects. Like soy phytoestrogens, lignans tend to take up space on estrogen receptor sites. With fewer sites that it can call home, your body's estrogen tends to be excreted rather than affecting breast tissue. Lignans have another benefit as well, as they increase production of a compound that helps with the excretion of excess estrogen.

We feed our immune systems these concentrated minerals, as well as a host of other anti-cancer compounds, when we eat wild and exotic mushrooms. I eat wild mushrooms frequently when they're in season, drying and freezing any surplus. Those with cancer may benefit from daily use. Play it safe; don't taste unknown mushrooms; triple check before eating any wild mushroom. You can buy exotic mushrooms in capsules or fresh in some markets.

WATERCRESS [Nasturtium officinale) Watercress is an excellent source of anti-cancer compounds such as chlorophyll, antioxidants, gallic acid, folic acid, and glucosinolates. Regular consumption stimulates hair growth, builds blood, improves appetite, and strengthens the immune system, making it a healing food for those using chemotherapy or radiation. In animal studies, injections of watercress extract stopped cancer.

Herbal teas are pleasant, but they don't extract the anti-cancer compounds and mineral richness that is available from nourishing herbal infusions. (Instructions for making an infusion are on page 294.) I use one nourishing herb at a time, rather than mixing them, so I can savor their individual flavors and their unique effects on me. Nourishing herbal infusions that are renowned for helping prevent—perhaps even cure—cancer include comfrey leaf, stinging nettle leaf, violet leaf, burdock root, red clover blossoms/tops, and oatstraw.

Ann Wigmore made a career of promoting wheat grass (sprouted for 7-10 days and freshly juiced) for health; but mature cereal grasses—like oatstraw—are actually more effective. anti-cancer compounds such as chlorophyll, folic acid, antioxidants, carotenes, minerals, and essential amino acids peak in grasses just before they begin to joint, about 200 days from seed. If you don't grow your own (but do consider it if you have a garden or yard; it's really quite easy), oatstraw is sold in the herb section (and compressed cereal grass in the supplement section) of your health food store.

Cabbage family plants contain more anti-cancer compounds than any other foods. One or more servings daily from this tasty group is a mainstay of any anti-cancer diet. Their ability to strengthen the immune system and block the initiation and growth of cancers is due to a variety of constituents. [See above, under "Cabbage.") The more cabbage family plants you eat and the more frequently you eat them, the less your risk of developing cancer. Frequent small doses are more protective than occasional large doses.

And a variety of anti-cancer compounds used systemically to eliminate cancer cells in the breasts and elsewhere in the body. Exercise and a diet of healthy food, nourishing infusions, healing oils, and phytoestrogen-rich herbs to counter recurrence. • Does survival after a diagnosis of breast cancer depend on orthodox medical treatments? Women who refuse such treatments do not die sooner than women who follow orthodoxy, according to an old (1977), but still valid, study by Hardin B.Jones, professor of medical physics.

Flaxseed Flaxseed contains twenty-five anti-cancer compounds and is high in enzymes, fiber, and vitamin E. In a vegetarian diet, it is a key source of omega 3 fatty acids, and it has an overall anti-inflammatory effect. Add a couple of tablespoons of flaxseed, whole or crushed, to salads. 12. Sprouted Seeds Fat-free sprouted seeds provide several phytonutrients and are bursting with enzymes. You can grow your own, without pesticides—it only takes a minute to water them each day. Varieties include: adzuki bean, baby greens, buckwheat lettuce, jumbo alfalfa, mung bean, and red clover. 13.
