Today it was announced that according the The British Journal of Cancer, 40% of all cancers in the UK can be prevented by following a healthier lifestyle.
Those of you who follow my blog regularly will probably say, "Tell me something I don't already know", right?
I am pleased that this information has been released by the Journal of Cancer rather than the constant brain-washing of the population from medical and media organisations that the only answer to cancer is chemo, radiotherapy or surgery. None of those approaches deals with cause and often times are ineffective in the long term.
However, I think the effects of lifestyle can reduce cancers by far more than the stated 40%. Dr William Kelley had a near to 100% success rate with cancer patients using diet and lifestyle factors only.
Dr Bruce Liption, a world leading micro-biologist suggests that less than 5% of all diseases are genetic, which means that over 95% of all chronic diseases are caused by the environment (which includes lifestyle).
Just this morning I saw a video (below) of Dr Terry Wahl's explaining how she overcome the so-called incurable Multiple Sclerosis through diet and lifestyle alone. Diet and lifestyle really are the best medicine.
This is why I get so much reward from my work. I help people improve their lifestyles and then sit back and watch how their health and quality of life increases. After being in this profession for over 15 years, it still amazes me how diet and lifestyle can change someone's health and outlook on life so much.
Some people would describe their improvements in health as miracles, as many would with Dr Wahls' achievement! It's not a miracle, it's just how we how evolved over millions of years. Give your cells what they are designed to be fueled by and they do their job amazingly well. Filling them full of poision isn't the recipe for health and happiness!
