    did you know that the vegetables that you eat every day are grown with fertilizer. And where do you think that fertilizer comes from? That fertulizer is made mostly from manure ( cow crap ) and human waste. And this practice is really environmentaly friendly.

    There’s no such thing as a carcinogen. There is only one cancer. Cancer cells are left-over trophoblasts. Trophoblasts are healing cells that can only be controlled with Amygdalin, a substance being cut out of our Western diets. Research vitamin B17/Amygdalin.

    Chocolate has caffeine and works on the brain in a way that is similar to heroin and morphine, it causes physical addiction. Migraines, mood swings are probably the most immediate side effects of chocolate, milk chocolate being the worst of course.

    Just finished watching Singapore 6.30pm news 17Apr 08 Thursday. A man from Taiwan was diagnosed with last stage lung cancer many years ago. He DID NOT go for chemotherapy. He said he drinks fruit juice 6 times everyday. eg celery, pineapple, soya beans and many other types of fruits. (I cannot remembered all the fruits) and also salad for his diet for many years. His doctor said there is no sign of cancer anymore. I saw him in the TV – He looks very healthy and hv healthy smooth complexion.

    What do you think about vitamin B-17 from apricot kernels? I read that it can prevent cancer and even heal cancer.

    thanks for your question. eating dark chocolate in moderation, especially organic dark chocolate, can be good for your health (lowers your blood pressure among other things). the main side effect is that some people are allergic to it, or get migraines from it. the other one is that people might eat too much of it and it makes people gain weight… so in moderation and dark, organic chocolate is probably the best option.

    I am so happy that you put this up. You can NEVER eat enough fruits and vegetables! This is the original diet that was made for mankind but especially here in America many people are health lazy and are solely influenced by media headlines and/or the popular crowd often without any clue that these headlines were either influenced by money and/or are made to make money. Meat is ok but it really isn’t all that good for you since it just putrefies in your system.

    These are details that I didn’t want to bore you all with, but I feel that the national news media shouldn’t have just made a blanket statement, “eating extra fruits and vegetables does not prevent breast
    cancer recurrence.” I know for me, I first read that article and said, “wait, eating vegetables doesn’t prevent cancer?” So if I, a med student, can get completely confused, then I was worried that others would also, if they had only saw the news without reading the actual study.

    So the study was not really applicable to the general population. The other main
    question is whether the intervention group was actually following the intervention.
    There’s evidence, as pointed out by the editorial, that the intervention group did not
    follow the intervention. Which makes you wonder, how reliable are the findings of the study?

    For example, that study was trying to see if eating more fruits and vegetables would prevent cancer recurrence. One group of women ate more veggies than the other. And they tried to see which group had less cancer. But both groups ate more fruits and vegetables than the national standard guidelines! Confused? I was, until I read the actual study twice.

    Hey — thanks for your suggestion! I’m actually not quite sure what exactly to do in that, the media got it wrong, but I think it was because the study they were reporting on was a confusing study. (in other words, I don’t think they were willfully misrepresenting — it was just incomplete reporting).

    Yay!!! I’m so glad that you made a video response. Have you ever thought of calling the local news station to refute their broadcast? if you call your station and tell them that you have good reason to believe that the story misrepresents the truth, they will be happy to jump on the latest story.
