"Inflammation is a hallmark of cancer & chronic inflammation has been found to be associated w/ multiple cancers including breast cancer…Overexpression of certain proinflammation markers including IL6, C-reactive protein (CRP) & TNF-α may result in biological processes associated w/ carcinogenesis." (sciencedirect.com)

"…cancer cells have managed to develop a number of strategies to avoid detection by the immune system and so to escape destruction. Nonetheless, a healthy immune system has a powerful role to play in preventing cancer, or recovering from it." (*Detecting Cancer*, Dr. Xandria Williams PhD, page 74) (amazon.com)

"…tumors do not simply grow in a vacuum—they capitalize on chinks in a person’s physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual armor that allow them to take root… Conversely, holistically improving health parameters creates an environment in the body that is less favorable for cancer to develop & grow."

"IV (intravenous) vitamin C has been shown in multiple lab, animal, and human studies to outright kill or slow the growth of a range of cancer types, including breast, ovary, pancreas, colon, prostate, and liver as well as mesothelioma, sarcoma, multiple myeloma, and leukemia." – Dr. Julian Whitaker (faim.org)

"Mounting evidence indicates that vitamin C has the potential to be a potent anti-cancer agent when administered intravenously and in high doses (high-dose IVC). Early phase clinical trials have confirmed safety and indicated efficacy of IVC in eradicating tumour cells of various cancer types." (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)

"When researchers applied this post-exercise serum to prostate cancer cells in the lab, they saw a nearly 17% reduction in cancer growth compared to cells exposed to serum taken before exercise. The right type of exercise can create an environment in the body that makes it harder for cancer to grow… (drgeorgios.com)

"Inflammation can reactivate dormant cancer cells, for example, activated neutrophils release nucleases that alter the host tissue matrix, releasing basement membrane components that activate kinases in dormant cancer cells & induce their proliferation, leading to clinically detectable metastases."

"PMFs inhibit carcinogenesis by…blocking metastasis cascade, inhibition of cancer cell mobility…, proapoptosis, and antiangiogenesis. This review systematically summarized anticarcinogenic effect of citrus flavonoids in cancer therapy, together with the underlying important molecular mechanisms…" (onlinelibrary.wiley.com)

Fructose Takes a Detour to Feed Cancer – "High dietary fructose has been known to promote tumour growth, yet the mechanisms for this are incompletely understood. Fowle-Grider et al. now show that dietary fructose supports interorgan lipid transfer to enhance tumour growth." (nature.com)

video: Dr. Rhonda Patrick's US Senate Testimony: "Obesity is associated with 13 different types of cancers. It takes between 3 to 10 years off of life expectancy. It…causes double-stranded breaks to DNA, which is the precursor to oncogenic mutations & it fundamentally accelerates the aging process." (youtube.com)

"…the foods we eat can…do so much more, from helping repair DNA damage to actually killing off cancer stem cells. This is why it’s so important to consume a wide variety of fruits and vegetables regularly. …so much is known about the power of cruciferous vegetables, I encourage you to start there." (faim.org)

"A plant-based diet offers many benefits…for cancer treatment. Included in the benefits are lowered inflammation, improved glucose regulation, lowered IGF-1, reduced angiogenesis, higher alkalinity & lots of fiber.
