We take the habit to buy and eat what is available at our grocery store. Must of the time, we even have the same grocery list every weeks. It is easier in our world where time is a luxury. But do we miss out, on available weapons to fight cancer. These weapons are ingredients that are part of the 5 to 10 fruits and vegetables we should eat daily. But there are some more if we go to traditional or old way food that was used before industrialization. more…

We often undergo a weight variation. Seasons change and we are more susceptible to change our eating habit and level of activity. We tell ourselves well it is just a few pounds more, nothing to be alarmed of. But these extra pounds drag on and after a while we forget about them and gain a few extra more. It is slowly but surely adding over the year. Are we seeing ourselves here? more…

We find a lot of advertising in the web regarding magic pills claiming to be a panacea for cancer, diabetes and a host of other diseases. Other ads grab our attention when they claim that there’s a special extract or a revolutionary process that results to a cancer fighting compound. If we’re suffering form cancer, we’re too desperate; we lower our guard; and go for them! more…

As we grow older, there are some changes that annoy us. It’s more difficult to get back in shape. It’s an ordeal to do some intense physical activity. What’s more, our bodies take more time to heal. As we celebrate our 55th birthday we notice some changes in our urinary habits. We visit the bathroom more often due to that full feeling in our bladder. And then, we have difficulty urinating! more…

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…

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…

Every season brings fresh flavorful food to add to our daily meals. In the Western hemisphere, luscious pomegranates are in season from September to February or about the start of winter. We can use this potent anti-cancer fruit for the next months. We’ll just freeze the ruby red arils and use them later. more…

The summer is almost at its last stretch. Summer, a wonderful time, comes with the best our gardens can offer – those red sun ripened tomatoes! These little babies pack one, two or even three punches at cancer.
How does this work? First, phytochemicals from tomatoes attack the inflammation process. Second, they increase apoptosis. And third, they block cancer cell proliferation. Those are three deadly punches for cancer! more…

Knowledge keeps us out trouble. Experience acquired over the years is helpful too. Sometimes, experience offers us painful lessons of the do’s and don’ts of daily living. Cancer can be a wake -up call about our current lifestyle. Like a boxer, we’ve got to give our best when the bell rings to summon us on stage. more…

If you’re at stage 3 or 4 prostate cancer, you’ve certainly heard your doctor explain about ADT. Or you’re even undergoing this treatment. Cancer cells needs the activation of an androgen receptor to grow and multiply. A molecule is utilized to block this specific receptor. Once this specific receptor is blocked, prostate cancer cells fail to thrive. This therapy is termed Androgen Deprivation Therapy or ADT. more…
