Understanding the facts about cancer will help us better prevent this deadly 

disease. Here are some facts and solutions to prevent cancer : 

1) Did you know that every person has cancer cells in their body?

Until these cancer cells have multiplied to a few billion they will not show in the standard 

tests. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in 

their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the 

cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size. 

2) Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment.

Exercising daily, keeping our body ph alkaline and deep breathing help get more oxygen down to 

the cellular level. Cancer cells cannot grow when our ph level is alkaline. Having 

a diet made of 80% fresh vegetables, juice, whole grain, seeds, nuts and a little 

fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% form cooked food 

including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provides live enzymes that can easily be 

absorbed in a cellular level within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance healthy cell 

growth Try drinking fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including beans 

sprouts) and eat raw vegetables 2 to 3 times a day to obtain live enzymes for 

building healthy cells. 

What is clinical nutrition?

Clinical nutrition is the study of the relationship between food and the well-being of the body. More specifically, it is the science of nutrients and how they are digested, absorbed, transported, metabolized, stored, and discharged by the body. Besides studying how food works in the body, nutritionists are interested in how the environment affects the quality and safety of foods, and how these factors influence health and disease.

Vitamin A

Dietary deficiency of vitamin A is uncommon in healthy people, except in older age groups. A is needed to absorb calcium, effects intestinal flora, and synthesizes body proteins. Although vitamin A is important for the function of the immune system, concerns about birth defects and bone loss, people should not take over 10,000 IU of supplemental vitamin A in the form of retinol without consulting a doctor.

Beta-carotene

Beta-carotene is a precursor to vitamin A, and may have a separate role in human health. Controlled research has shown that beta-carotene supplements can increase the numbers of some white blood cells and enhance cancer-fighting immune functions in healthy people who take 25,000–100,000 IU per day.

The term "nutrition" always, makes people think of vitamins, minerals, and one’s diet. If you’re health conscious, this is usually automatic but if you’re not so health conscious, you may say, "nah, I don't need them".

"Nah, I don't need them. I am too inconsistent anyway. I feel fine and my energy is good. I sleep well and my Doctor says if I eat good, there is no need."

Everyone and their brother’s, sister’s cousin pushes or sells vitamins. The plethora of vitamin houses and sales are enough to intimidate anyone from supplementing their diet with vitamins and minerals, even if they might have entertained the thought.

So do we need a vitamin or not? How much does one take and what kind? What are the better vitamins to take and how about manufacturers?

Duty calls to explain acid metabolism and alkalinity from the chemical prospectus. Yeast, fungus, mold, and viruses can only survive in an acid base; they cannot survive in an alkaline base. There must be a compatible ratio between alkaline and acid foods consumed in one’s diet. Attainment of proper PH results in stifling the aforementioned single cell antagonistic properties. The ideal ratio is four parts alkaline to one acid, which creates the alkaline environment in the body to maintain a healthy PH balance (homeostasis) and equals 7.365. "PH refers to the relative concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution and low PH values indicate higher concentrations of hydrogen ions or acids, and high PH values indicate low concentrations of hydrogen ions or alkaline" (Synderhealth, 2008). An example is 2.5 is acidic versus 9.5 which is alkaline.

So, what if the you learned that practically all water and hydration formulas measure a five on the PH scale? When you work out, did you know that you automatically become acidic due to the oxygen exchanges and protein catabolism? Drinking acidic hydration replacements and water both further your mild acidosis, resulting in problems with fatigue, weight loss, and create issues with vitamin and mineral absorption and exchange. What do you do?

Our lifestyles instigate a plethora of ailments and sicknesses in the workings of our bodies. The Environmental Protection Agency has stated that our water, soil, food and atmosphere have become contaminated with toxic chemicals due to the inability to dispose of them safely. The human body was created to handle levels of toxicity, but not at the rate Americans ingest daily.

The low-level toxicity produces acidic effects in cells and as a result, our immune system becomes taxed, and possibly intolerant to things that never bothered the metabolism before. Acid metabolism in turn affects the flora and fauna of our intestines and can “off-set” the microorganisms that are responsible for homeostasis or balance resulting in the proliferation of single cell bacteria. This can cause extraneous circumstances and syndromes autoimmune in diagnosis. These single cells love sugar (and what these single cells excrete when they eat sugar is toxic) and combined with too much protein in one’s diet, this can be the make or break of over acidification.
