So, what is Anti-Cancer all about?

The premise of "Anti-Cancer:  a new way of life" is the life expectancy provided by a doctor is derived statistically and it is possible (in many cases, even probable) to live well past that expectation by helping your immune system deal with cancer cells.  Dr. Servan-Schreiber proposes a four pronged approach to prolonging cancer, all aimed at improving your body's ability to fight the promulgation of cancer cells.  this approach is outlined below.

1)  Guard yourself against environmental cancer promotors such as pesticides, VOCs, herbicides (the list goes on).

2)  Adjust your diet to avoid cancer promoting compounds (e.g., pesticides, herbicides, fungicides) and increase phyto-nutrients known to help your body fight cancer (e.g., those found in leaks, cabbage, blackberries are especially good).

3) Heal psychological wounds, especially old and persistent wounds.  Asn you heal these wounds, connect with people and God, however you understand God to be.

4) Develop a personal (even a spiritual) relationship with your body that is geared towards caring for your entire sellf, body and soul).  In this endeavor,  remember that a key part of caring for yourself is improving your immune function and reducing inflammation in your body.

The keys to becoming a long term cancer survivor is to better educate yourself, be motivated for survival, and get into better health.

Your friend in Christ, and fellow cancer survivor,
