I know it has been a while since I have written anything, but I am not going to go into the excuses!

So today I was sent a really interesting piece of news saying that being socially active can help prevent cancer, not as ridiculous as it may seem. Some research at the Ohio State University showed that mice with an enriched living conditions and a boosts in their social life!! Shrank their tumors and with some completely disappearing altogether.

The article can be read here if you have a subscription but if not the Health Ranger does an excellent review here

I think therefore it goes to prove that it is all a balance and in recent years, we are all moving to far to one side giving cancer more opportunities to take hold.

So the answer is to live like a monk, well it may be extreme, but don’t laugh and read this article from the Times back in 2007. Compelling proof that cancer can be avoided, but in the 21st century it is near on impossible to live like a monk.

It goes from the sublime to the ridiculous, thank heavens for a common sense article from www.hc2d.co.uk stating that foods fortified with omega-3 are close to useless, when you consider how much you have to eat to get the same amount for just a portion of oily fish.

It is all just fancy marketing, well I suppose we have to be thankful that people are beginning to wake up and realise that diet is the biggest killer or saviour depending on which way you lean!

I for one have taken on the changes in hc2d, sometime back I wouldn’t say I am perfect but I have quadrupled my intake of water, I eat fish  two times a week, load up on plenty of fruit and vegetables and I have replaced most of my sugar intake with honey.

The hardest thing for people is to change their habits, but when you know how much of a difference it can make and from what I have read at least a 50% reduction in chances of catching various diseases including cancer, it was enough to even include broccoli for me, wonders never cease

Is it me or what, I just seem to keep hearing how our diet can prevent cancer. Maybe it is because I am looking out for it, but I cannot be sure.

Nonetheless the more I hear about various food stuffs having positive effects in the fight for cancer, for me it just gives more credibility to “The Budwig Diet”.

So to hear this recent article from the daily mail on Yoghurt helping in the prevention of cancer it certainly gives more credence, although in truth Jane is talking about calcium in our diet, but for me I was pleased to see that low fat doesn’t loose any of its percentage of calcium and in the case of skimmed milk it has more.

And just yesterday there was an article from the Telegraph, no less saying that extracts of broccoli, cabbage and brazil nuts can fight cancer and get this they even say:

Compounds from the vegetables mixed with selenium, which is contained in Brazil nuts, have been shown to prevent the skin cancer and work better at attacking tumours than conventional treatment, researchers said.

The case for alternative treatments just seem to keep building.

I have to admit I am not sure about this latest research where a French company Valrex have started trials on enriching feeds with extruded Linseed, to me it just seems to defeat the whole object. Apart from it being a complete waste of money!

The second article really is just more comfirmation in case you think you needed it. The Canadians seem to have just realised that Cardiovascular Disease accounts for the death of more Canadians than any other disease.

What is interesting that over the last 40 years as lifestyle have changed they have seen this rate reduced.

“Research tells us omega-3 fatty acids offer a number of cardiovascular benefits, including reducing hardening of the arteries, decreasing triglycerides, protecting against irregular heartbeats and lowering blood pressure,” said Michelle Latinsky, registered dietitian and nutrition specialist for Jamieson Laboratories. “In addition, omega-3s reduce inflammation and help support overall health.”

An interesting question and because of this I became more aware of alternative medicine, or the cures we are not told about.

In truth we are told continually how by eating the right foods and drinking water can have superb benefits, but what is more amazing is we pay no notice.

I digress a little and although I cannot say water can cure Cancer, I am confident to say that it will help and best part of all it is free.

The only thing to remember is our body is made up of 75% water and we generally drink just 1 glass a day. The result is dehydration and then our body reacts in different ways.

I myself tested this amazing product and for the last couple of months, I have gone from less than a glass a day to 2 ltrs a day. The result is I no longer feel tied and I feel full of life. If you do not believe me try it or watch this video below, but hey what have you got to loose.

And it is all thanks to Dr. F. Batmanghelidj or Dr. B as many call him.

I have to apologise as I must have had my head in the sand when it comes to diet and its affect on our health. I have only really became interested since the so called conspiracy to hide Budwig´s findings on curing cancer, but in truth by sheer logic you would come to this conclusion anyway that it works.

Everywhere I look I see info on protecting our bodies from cancer, but we just do not want to listen.

The truth is that with all this info out there about this vegetable helps this and that helps that, why on earth has there not been another scientific study on the Budwig Diet and if there is I have not seen it.

I suppose you could draw your own conclusions on this, if it didn’t work the big pharma companies would love to keep us on their expensive drugs, but if it was AGAIN proved to work, well you can just imagine the repercussions.

So why did I write this post, because I came across this news article from the Livingston Daily 15 Budget Foods to Keep You Healthy and others!
