Being rich isn’t a factor against prostate cancer. After Steve Jobs succumbed to pancreatic cancer, here’s another mogul stricken with cancer who has no problem making a house down payment.
Warren Buffet dubbed the “Oracle of Omaha” and labeled as the “greatest stock market investor” is undoubtedly an expert in his field. Nevertheless, when it comes to cancer he sure is betting every dime on what his doctor recommended him. He has stage 1 prostate cancer. more…

Let’s look at cancer in a totally new light. This way we can understand how it operates. Instead of asking, “Why does cancer grow?” We can ask the question, “How does cancer grow?” It can be a key to winning our fight with cancer! more…

Cancer can strike anyone – the young or the old, the celebrity or the common man, the rich or the poor. Most people need to share their experiences to be able to cope as a patient, family or friend.
I saw a movie that does just that on DVD. The title of the movie is 50/50. The title was based on the doctor’s verdict of survival of the characters. This means the 50 percent chance of survival and the 50 percent of death. more…

When it comes to cancer, celebrities are just like us. They get cancer too. Being a celebrity is no guarantee they’re protected from cancer. At 37 years old, Giuliana Rancic, a co-host of E!news was stricken with breast cancer.
A smart woman, she listened to her physician’s recommendation. Her initial lumpectomy failed to cut off the tumor mass. She was brave enough to go through a double mastectomy. Most women would hesitate having both breast excised. But that’s exactly what she decided to do. The radical mastectomy seemed drastic. But it was the best way to cut off those deadly cancer cells from her body. Surgery is a standard cancer treatment. The aberrant mass of tissues is lopped off from the body. Doing so, those immortal cancer cells won’t proliferate, invade nearby tissues, metastasize to remote bodily organs. And then finally kills its victim. more…

It’s never fun to be diagnosed with cancer. It’s like being hit by a ton of bricks. We’ll see our doctor’s lips moving but everything seems to be in slow motion. And then we’re paralyzed with unbelief. Slowly, we muster our strength and realize we have to do something about it.
Our best chance is standard cancer care. To even the odds and have a better chance to beat it, let’s add functional foods to our daily diet. Soy, a potent functional food, had shown to help against prostate cancer. It is processed in different forms such as tofu, soy milk, soy sauce, fermented bean paste, natto, tempeh or miso. We can substitute it for meat or mix it with other ingredients in our cooking. more…

Celebrations are happy and memorable parts of our lives. Special foods bring much pleasure during celebrations – a wedding, a christening, Christmas, a send-off party or a promotion. There is one perfect food that comes to my mind during these times – grapes!
Grape vines had been cultivated since the dawn of time. It was believed to be a native of northwest Asia. Now, grapes are grown throughout Europe and North America. They were very popular in the Roman Empire. The Romans even had a god of wine named Bacchus. more…

Fall is here! This the season for hunting big games – deer, moose, elf, bear or croc! We prepare the territory to lure the big one and practice our art of shooting so we get our marks.
What about hunting cancer? The big difference is – we’ve to hunt for that beast the whole year long. Like hunting for a huge moose, we need to prepare the terrain. The terrain is no other than our bodies where cancer develops and grows. When we groom our bodies, we clean the surroundings much like we do when we hunt that elusive elk. This preparation is a 30 minute exercise every single day. Exercise burns the extra energy that cancer utilizes to nourish itself and survive. Sweating it out at less 30 minutes daily decreases the general inflammation. And when our bodies are rid from that inflammation, it concentrates the immune system’s action only at a very specific sites – wounds and the cancer
site! more…

We don’t want any cancer messing with our lives. But one person out of two gets cancer. That’s a fifty-fifty chance! It’s funny how we’re sold on just about anything to avoid that beast. We want a cheap and easy way to increase our chances against this disease. Probably, this is the reason why supplements and other alternative therapies flourish in the web. They claim to cure or prevent this monster. One is lycopene. more…

Wouldn’t it be fabulous if a cancer cure is just at our doorstep? And we’re done with just one treatment protocol? Our society is one of instant gratification. We’re swayed by miracle cures and wait to win the lottery. We think that winning the lottery resolves our problem. We think that a miracle drug is that way too.
That’s what most cancer patients think of this therapy. The Di Bella therapy was developed by a Modena professor and physiologist, Luigi Di Bella. A custom-made drug mixture is taken daily based on the results of a blood test. more…
