Beneficios de la cáscara de cítricos para la salud
Se hicieron más estudios sobre el potencial protector del ADN de algunas frutas y verduras y se descubrió que el agente protector era sensible al calor y que no era la vitamina C, como se pensó. Esto se confirmó en...
Should Cancer Patients Avoid Raw Fruits and Vegetables?
Back in the 1960s, a patient isolator unit was developed for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Because our immune system cells were often caught in the friendly fire, up to 50% of cancer patients died of infections before they could even...
Best Food for MGUS to Prevent Multiple Myeloma
Multiple myeloma is one of our most dreaded cancers. It’s a cancer of our antibody-producing plasma cells, and is considered one of our most intractable blood diseases. The precursor disease is called monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS). When it...
The Food Safety Risk of Organic versus Conventional

A Low-Methionine Diet May Help Starve Cancer Cells
When designing an antibiotic, we can’t create a drug that destroys DNA because that’s something that both humans and bacteria share in common. It would kill bacteria, but it might kill us, too. Instead, many antibiotics work by attacking bacterial...
How Animal Proteins May Trigger Autoimmune Disease
Although slaughterhouse workers with the most poultry exposure appear to suffer the greatest excess mortality (see Poultry Exposure Tied to Liver and Pancreatic Cancer), increased risk of death from cancer is also found in other slaughterplant workers. This research goes...
How Risky Are CT Scans?
The greatest radiation exposure risk comes not from the Fukushima fallout or the polonium naturally found in all seafood (see my last video, Fukushima and Radioactivity in Seafood), but from doctors.This was the study that originally shook things up: “Estimated...
