There Really Is No Debate

There Really Is No Debate Although both animal-based foods and plant-based foods in totality may have the same macro-nutrients and even some of the same micro-nutrients, they do differ in both composition and structure. With that being said, it must be understood that there are no nutrients found in animal-based foods that cannot be better […]

War on Cancer

War on Cancer The “war on cancer” was declared around 40 years ago, billions of dollars have been spent on research and trillions of dollars on treatment. In spite of this, we are witnessing an increase in both the incidence and death rate from cancer. Obviously, not only are the causes of cancer not being […]

The Atkins Diet

The Atkins Diet Robert C. Atkins “borrowed” the diet that he promoted from the British and became wealthy as a result of it. It had been the standard diet prescribed for type II diabetics in Great Britain for many years before Atkins’ exploits and marketing made him a household name. I worked for him in […]

Exploitation of Nature

As Howard Zinn has pointed out, grass root movements begin in “the streets” and, if effective, legislation can then be enacted. No longer is the student of “the way things really are” deluded into believing that meaningful change can come about through legislation, especially since the new, “secure” voting policies and procedures, as well as […]

Cancer and Inflammation

Cancer and Inflammation I have come to view cancer as I view all conditions that deviate from optimal functioning, the only real definition of health. A tumor is a biochemical relationship between blood vessels, connective tissue and malignant (mutated, anaerobic cells). These three tissue types “talk” to each other and provide mutual support for their […]

Breasts, Broccoli and Cancer

Breasts, Broccoli and Cancer Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer in the world today. More than 1.1 million women each year are diagnosed with breast cancer and over 200,000 of these women are Americans. These statistics are frightening especially in light of the fact that we are increasingly being told that genetics play such […]

Plant Based Food

Plant Based Food The debate is over!   Humans are anatomically and physiologically designed to eat only plant food. Homo sapiens (humans) are classified broadly as land mammals and more specifically as tailless primates. Our closest cousins, gorillas, bonobos and chimps eat predominantly plant material with a few insects here and there.  Chimps will, on […]

Breast Cancer

Breast Cancer Although breast cancer is currently a pandemic (world wide epidemic) and is thought to be different from colon cancer or pancreatic cancer or lymphomas, etc, they are all the same in that they are cells and tissues that are adapting to toxic overloads in the body. It is when oxygen is no longer […]

Cancer

Cancer The word “cancer” was translated by Celsus (28 BC – 50 AD) from the Greek term, “carcinos”.  Hippocrates first developed the word, “carcinos” to describe growths and chronic ulcers and it is not known if what he was describing at that time is the same as what we now call ‘cancer’. But, “cancer“, like all diagnoses […]
