Foods that can fight cancer.

One -third of all cancer deaths may be diet related. What you eat can hurt you, but it can also help you.

Avocados: rich in glutathione, a powerful antioxidant that attacks free radicals in the body.

Broccoli: Broccoli, especially sprouts, also have the phytochemical sulforaphane, a product of glucoraphanin - believed to aid in preventing some types of cancer, like colon and rectal cancer. Sulforaphane induces the production of certain enzymes that can deactivate free radicals and carcinogens.

Chili peppers and jalapenos contain a chemical, capsaicin, which may neutralize certain cancer-causing substances (nitrosamines) and may help prevent cancers such as stomach cancer.

Cruciferous vegetables - broccoli, cauliflower, kale, Brussels sprouts, and cabbage contain antioxidants, Cruciferous are known to pull toxic waste out your body with in 48 hours of consumption.

Flax: contains lignans, which may have an antioxidant effect and block or suppress cancerous changes. Flax is also high in omega-3 fatty acids, which are thought to protect against colon cancer and heart disease.

Garlic: has immune-enhancing allium compounds (dialyl sultides) that appear to increase the activity of immune cells that fight cancer and indirectly help break down cancer causing substances.

Kale: has indoles, nitrogen compounds which may help stop the conversion of certain lesions to cancerous cells in estrogen-sensitive tissues.

Brazil nut: contains 80 micrograms of selenium, which is important for those with prostate cancer.

Lemons contain Iimonene which stimulates cancer-killing immune cells (lymphocytes, e.g.) that may also break down cancer-causing substances.

Rosemary: may help increase the activity of detoxification enzymes.

Seaweed and other sea vegetables: contain beta-carotene, protein, vitamin B12, fiber, and chlorophyll, as well as chlorophylones - important fatty acids that may help in the fight against breast cancer.

Tomatoes: contain lycopene: an antioxidant that attacks roaming oxygen molecules, known as free radicals, that are suspected of triggering cancer.

Tumeric: a member of the ginger family, is believed to have medicinal properties because it inhibits production of the inflammation.

Candida and baking soda

2009-04-26T22:21:00.000-07:00

Cancer is a fungus a book you must read.

Dr. Tulio simoncini new revolutionary cure for cancer and candida

You will be surprise how Baking Soda can change your life.
To uproot persistent gynaecological fungal infections one should do a douche every day with two litres of pure water (that has been boiled and left to cool) containing two dissolved tablespoons of bicarbonate of soda. This should be kept up for two months, stopping only during one’s period. Candida is very persistent and it takes a long time to kill an infection.

Although cancer and fungus are revolutionary within the context of mainstream medicine, within alternative medicine views of what Candida is and how it functions in the body appear to differ from many alternative practitioners who view Candida as a systemic problem affecting the whole body and originating in the intestines. From what we gather Dr. Simoncini do not see the Candida problem as residing in the gut. He believe that the Candida yeast is not the cause of the various intestinal problems usually associated with Candidiasis, his opinion is that, the main cause is environmental. Secondly, there is a resulting lack of energy caused by alterations in the blood circulation. Thirdly, diet.

Cures from the Kitchen is a place to find ideas, recipes and inspiration to create healthy and nutritious meals for you and your family. I am Nena Niessen, the creator of Cure from the Kitchen.

I was born in Nicaragua in the small town of el Sauce, so small that we did not have even a doctor. Our doctors were our parents and the pharmacy our backyards.

Coming from a family of seven children, I learned how to cook at a very young age because in my culture at that time it was an important skill for becoming a housewife. My cooking
experience began when I was twelve years old.

I learned how to make numerous dishes and sauces, which vegetables mixed with what sauces for the proper texture and taste and what herbs offered the best flavors for specific meats, vegetables and sauces. Later I learned how to make cheese on my grandmother’s farm. By age fourteen, I was already considered an accomplished chef in my mother’s kitchen using fresh, healthful ingredients.

At age twenty-four after escaping from the tyranny of the Sandinista takeover in my country, I ultimately made it to the United States. Through the next few years, I secured employment with increasing responsibility but I always ended up feeling empty, unfulfilled. I had been searching for my purpose in life and finally realized that my twin passions—love of cooking and keen interest in health—could lead me to a career that that was not only satisfying but could offer an important contribution to people in my adopted country. I have since become a Certified Natural Health Professional and licensed in Nutritional Microscopy.
