Cancer in family/Best Prevention?

Bixa525 · New User Joined: 09 Dec 2007 Posts: 2

With cancer on both sides of my family and with the loss of several relatives to cancer I am trying to seek out what might be best to lower my chances or prevent myself from getting cancer. Can those of you who have researched this please tell me what you feel will help lower or prevent cancer? I realize diet, supplements, exercise and a healthy lifestyle are very important but I need some guidance as to where to start and would like some documented sources of actual things you can do to help prevent this terrible disease. I have alot of anxiety over thinking I will get cancer. I figure the only way to alleviate some of this anxiety is to do some research and adapt my lifestyle to a healthier one. Also what are your opinions about detoxifications and supplements? Thank you for your input.

The best advice...get regular check-ups. If you catch it early, you'll have a better chance of surviving.

But a good diet and healthy exercise will also help. If you have these, supplements are not necessary.

Also, write very large: "DON'T WORRY". Mental stress is not helpful.

I have a personal experience with health supplements that have the potential to cure cancer. My grandma was diagnosed with cancer and had to undergo surgery. The condition was rather bad at that time, but a friend introduced me to a health product. She's been taking it consistently and she has, since then, regained her health. This product is also used for prevention, which my family also take for maintanence purposes, to prevent the onset of cancer. You might like to try it.

Hi

Good diet, plenty of exercise and don't drink or smoke. It helps if you live away from the city as well. Nothing can prevent cancer but you can lessen your chances of getting it. Be very observant , cancer is treatable if caught early

Good luck

There are some new companies that offer genetic testing to see what your probabilities are for certain disorders. Check out 23andme. I believe it's started by one of Google's founder's spouses.

I know the converse is true too. I know two girls that had no history of cancer on both sides of their families, and are Asian as well (lower risk for CA in general), and both have had cancer. One had colon cancer at 38, the other had breast cancer at 50. They have both went through surgery, chemo, and radiation and are now cancer free.

You should avoid smoking, unmoderate drinking, fat food, obesity, sedentary lifestyle. They are main cancer risk factors. And check-up regularly.

Another thing you could look at is a product called BioResponse DIM. DIM is a molecule found in cruciferous plants, like broccoli, cabbage, etc... It's also a powerful anti-carcinogen. There was a clinical trial that was just recently wrapped up using it for women with mild cervical dysplasia. I'm waiting on the results of that. I've heard anecdotal stories of women who have had constant problems with HPV and cervical dysplasia, and also VIN, use it and say that it cleared up all of their problems.

It's something you should look into.

My dad died of colorectal cancer, and many of my relatives suffered from some form of cancer. I'm therefore quite paranoid about contracting the disease myself. It is a known fact that the prevalance of cancer is caused by toxins we are constantly ingesting and inhaling. When a body is loaded with toxins, it can't function normally as it spends most of its time and energy trying to rid these. Besides cancer, other modern day diseases such as food and chemical sensitivities, arthiritis, Alzheimer's disease, autism etc could also be results of toxicity issues.

A fairly good test of determining our body's toxic levels is through the hair tissue mineral analysis test which will show the toxicity levels of heavy metals such as arsenic, lead and mercury. A detox protocol through supplementation can then be determined based on the results of the test. My family has done the test and mercury and arsenic appear significantly high. We are detoxing now and will have the test done half a year later to see if there's any drop in the readings.

hi,
If you are a breast cancer survivor, who has completed treatment for breast cancer, your best bet for follow-up care may be with your family physician. In what is being called a landmark study, researchers followed 968 women, half of whom received follow-up care from a family physician.
