Medical Science begins to get it

More and more I am seeing stories in the mainstream media about medical science realizing the positive impact that changes in diet and lifestyle will have on health. This is a very good turn of events. Of course you will see most of the studies are OUTSIDE the US...

New Heart Strategy focuses on Lifestyle
Health Experts: Obesity Pandemic Looms
Healthy Diet, Healthy Mind - Keeping Dementia at Bay
In Sickness and in Health: How What You Eat Can Affect Disease
In the Raw: Enzymes for a healthy digestion
Soy, Fish Oil May Protect Against Alzheimer's

I find it amazing that the same groups who attack alternative medicine as "quackery" turn around and promote the same kind of healthy diet promoted by alternative medicine. Then they act like they just discovered it. By groups I mean FDA, National Cancer Institue, NIH, American Heart Association - all the large groups that study various diseases or pretend to protect people from dangerous things.

Sadly, it seems Oncology is the place that is behind on this because they are so hooked on their destructive treatments for cancer that they can't see outside the box they are in.

I think the majority of people *still* don't understand that cancer is NO different than cardiac disease or diabetes. Cancer is a chronic degenerative disease - a sign your body is not keeping up with defending itself. Cancer is not something you catch or just an unlucky roll of the genetic dice. It is mostly environmental through toxins around us and in our food. If we don't eliminate as many toxins as we can (junk food) and start to eat healthy mostly vegan diets, we are hurting our own defense system. I believe that making these changes CAN reverse cancer as long as it hasn't become too entrenched and is overwhelming your immune system.

If you have let it go too far by ignoring the signs and symptoms you probably WILL need the big guns to turn it around. The big guns are the destructive conventional treatments. I believe there needs to be a distinction in oncology about who needs the big guns and who *does not*. There is no reason at all to tear down a person's immune system for a 2cm breast tumor. Instead the focus should be on improving their immune system as a FIRST treatment. First do no harm. Carefully monitoring things, as I am doing, can then tell if the right support is being given to the immune system.

Instead, conventional medicine treats EVERYONE with cancer the same way - with the same poisons. One gun fits all. This is so wrong... and I hope to prove how wrong it is.
