Antioxidants extracted from pomegranates, onions, cranberries, grape skins, olives and cherries protect DNA from breakage by radiation or free radical bullets. The growth of cancer is inhibited by removing iron and copper from tumors through the use of rice bran extract (IP6). IP6 is also required to repair double-strand DNA breaks (where the DNA breaks at both ends). Resveratrol, known as a red wine molecule, activates a DNA repair gene (Sirtuin 1) and blocks cancer at all three stages of development (initiation, growth and spread), which is more than any anti-cancer drug can do.

Small molecules like allicin from garlic, resveratrol from grapes, quercetin from onions, hy-droxytyrosol from olives, influence so many genes they are being heralded as the drugs of the future. Many people falsely believe that to concede that alternative cancer therapies are ineffective gives tacit credence to often despised toxic conventional treatments. Advocates of alternative cancer therapies are going to have to let go of their favorite remedies in favor of the new generation of anticancer molecules that are being revealed in scientific studies almost on a daily basis.
