Cancer Care

Do you know anyone who is fighting cancer? A friend? Family member? Co-worker? You? Maybe you don’t have cancer…yet, but are afraid it may get you sooner or later. Since there are an innumerable number of food substances, environmental toxins and pollutants out there, all waiting to be ingested, it makes the likelihood of getting cancer all that much more real. It’s frightening to think that we have no source of protection. Or do we?

The best line of defense to protect ourselves from cancer is the food we eat – refraining from dangerous chemicals, hydrogenated and processed foods, and eating food in its natural state. Beyond that, we can look for natural foods that not only PROTECT us from cancer, but FIGHT cancer cells once they take hold in our bodies. The mangosteen fruit is one such fruit.

While cancer has other causes the main one is the wrong food we choose to eat. Our diets have changed over the last 50 years and people in developed societies are mostly consuming food that’s no longer fresh but has been processed by man for profit. While this food may be appealing, most of the information on the container is clever marketing and is there to help it sell.

Another problem is we are obsessed with cooking our food and what does cooked food lack, its enzymes.While we may buy good food but if most of it is cooked on high heat then it is void of these enzymes it once contained which are necessary to keep us free of health problems. The benefits of eating raw food are amazing so if you are cooking most of it, you are not gaining these benefits. When you add up your total food intake from baked, boiled, grilled, barbecued and fried foods, you may find that the majority of what you have been eating is dead food. Read the rest of this entry »
