The health of your body depends upon the health of your intestinal tract. If you eat or have eaten a processed food or fast food diet, taken antibiotics, birth control pills, steroids, anti-inflammatories or any other drugs, your digestive tract is most likely less than healthy. How unhealthy depends on how much and how long the abuse has taken place.
You can improve the health of your gut and the health of your whole body. It's a matter of removing the damaging elements - foods and drugs - and consuming nourishing and healing foods and nutritional support.
For years, I have stated that cancer, along with heart disease, diabetes and obesity, are lifestyle diseases. Now there is research out of England that concludes ...
"There is nothing in the natural environment that can cause cancer. So it has to be a man-made disease, down to pollution and changes to our diet and lifestyle."
With cancer being the number two killer in the industrialized world, second only to heart disease, it should be reassuring that this is something that you have control over. You don't have to be a victim to cancer or any of these other lifestyle diseases. By making the appropriate changes to your eating habits, exercise and the products you use in your home and on your body, you do have control over your health and you can prevent these diseases.
I'm sure you've heard stories of people told they only had months to live, and ten years later they're still going strong because they made healthy lifestyle choices to turn their health around.
Here are some resources to help you make healthier eating and lifestyle choices so you can live a healthier and longer life:
Since cancer takes years to develop before it's detectable, it is wise to make healthy changes to your eating habits and your lifestyle while you feel healthy. Even if you're health is not optimal and you're suffering various ailments, it's still not too late to make positive changes to support a healthy body and a longer, healthier life.
I've known for a long time that so-called scientific research is flawed and doesn't necessarily tell you the truth, even double blind and peer reviewed studies.
What is my basis for this bold, almost unbelievable claim?
When I look at who funds the studies and the results, in many cases it's obvious to me that the study was biased or not properly designed. You see, I have a master's degree in Statistics and worked as a research statistician for eight years in the area of sample design before I decided to become a chiropractor.
In addition, there was a book that was required reading in my statistics program, and it is still available on amazon.com and many of the booksellers online, "How To Lie With Statistics." Now the intention of this book was not to teach us how to be deceptive in our research, but to point out what can go wrong when researchers, knowingly or unknowingly, manipulate or bias the data.
Now, you don't have to take my word for it. This is just my observation and I can't prove it.
However...
Dr. John Ioannidi has. A medical researcher with outstanding expertise and credentials, Dr. Ioannidi has proven through "a detailed mathematical proof that (assuming modest levels of researcher bias, typically imperfect research techniques, and the tendency to focus on exciting rather than plausible theories) researchers will come up with wrong findings most of the time."
So, a word to the wise ... be careful if you make your health and nutrition decisions based upon so-called "scientific" studies.
I have always based my recommendations upon clinical results with a proven track record. While the medical establishment has poo-poo'd this method, Dr. Ioannidi's results don't support their faith in so-called "scientific studies."
We live in a toxic world. We come in contact with cancer-causing chemicals every day. Some we can't avoid. They're just part of life and living in our polluted world. However, there are many that we can avoid, but you're not getting this information from the organizations that are supposed to be educating you about how to prevent breast cancer and other forms of cancer.
Read this article to find out more and to see the list of over 200 chemicals that have been linked to breast cancer.
By being conscious of avoiding as many harmful and cancer-causing chemicals as you can, you reduce your exposure to dangerous chemicals and lower your risk for being a cancer statistic.
However, before you can avoid these hazardous ingredients, you have to know what they are. I have listed some resources below to help you protect yourself from many of the unsafe chemicals you may come in contact with many times a day.

The recent news about beetle parts being found in Similac Infant Formula brought to light the dangers of contamination of not only processed infant formula, but all processed foods. But that's not the worst part. If you examine the label and look at the ingredients listed on this infant formula, you will find that you are feeding your baby a product that is over 50% refined sugar and contains genetically engineered soy... not the ingredients for raising a healthy baby.
All in all, the healthiest food for an infant is mother's milk, at least for the first year, or longer. When your baby starts eating solid food, make sure you are giving your child truly healthy food. For help feeding kids healthy foods and having them love to eat healthy food, click here.
You're not going to find the answer from the American Cancer Society or any of the other of the mainstream organizations funded by the pharmaceutical industry. They say they're close to a cure for cancer. All you have to do is send them more money so they can continue their research.
What they don't tell you is that there are real ways NOW to prevent cancer and to overcome cancer - naturally.
