Cancer Prevention
and Support:
-
Environmental factors are associated with up to 80% of all cancers; such as smoking, pesticides and herbicides. 18-20% of all cancers are linked to infections, mostly viruses.
-
The World Health Organisation (WHO) deems that 85% of adult cancers are entirely avoidable. Of these, half are related to nutritional deficiencies in the Western Diet.
-
Then, towards the end of World War 2, UK researchers found that green vegetables provided protection against lung, gastrointestinal and other cancers.
-
In 1929, the British Empire Cancer Campaign identified over a dozen foods protective against cancer, including; beetroot, wholemeal bread, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, onions, turnips, watercress and raw (un-boiled) milk.
-
In 2003, the WHO stated that diet was second only to tobacco as a preventable cause of cancer.
-
According to UK Government statistics, between 1971 to 2008, the incidence of cancer increased by 24% in men and by 49% in women. The latter mainly due to a 25% increase in breast cancer in the last 10 years. Presently, 1 in 3 people will develop cancer in their lives and 1 in 4 people will die from it. During Victorian times, following the beginning of the industrial revolution, cancer rates were only 3%.

wisdom cannot reveal itself,
art cannot manifest,
strength cannot fight,
wealth becomes useless and intelligence cannot be applied.”
