"Among men, the top three cancer diagnoses are expected to be prostate cancer (180,400 cases), lung cancer (89,500 cases), and colorectal cancer (63,600 cases). The leading types of cancer among women are breast cancer (182,800 cases), lung cancer (74,600 cases), and colorectal cancer (66,600 cases). In addition, there are tens of thousands of underprivileged people who have cancer, but will not even receive a diagnosis because they cannot afford health insurance or a visit to the doctor." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "In recent metaanalyses of colorectal cancer that included studies published up to 2005, summary associations indicated that red meat intakes were associated with 28%-35% increased risks while processed meats were associated with elevated risks of 20%-49%. The researchers indicated that one in 10 cases of lung or colorectal cancer could be averted by limiting red meat intake. According to the China study and other cancer research consid- "Meat originating from a mammal, beef, lamb, pork, and veal; and meats preserved by salting, smoking, or curing." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"However, specific probiotic strains have been identified in animal studies as having the ability to reduce the risk of developing colorectal cancer. B. longum and B. breve have been shown to prevent DNA damage by carcinogens. In addition, both B. longum and B. animalis can decrease the formation of lesions in the colon that commonly develop into cancer. B. longum may also have anti-tumor activity making it a great probiotic for defending against colorectal cancer." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"The WHI study results included evidence of an increase in the risk for breast cancer and heart disease, yet reduced the risk of hip fractures and colorectal cancer. One reason for the results in the WHI trial is the use of synthetic progestogens rather than natural progesterone. LOW TESTOSTERONE IS COMMON IN DIABETIC MEN A study in the November 2004 issue of the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism revealed that one out of three diabetic men have low testosterone levels." - Steven V.

"Fatty acid profiles were measured in plasma phospholipids of 22 patients with colorectal cancer, 27 with sporadic polyps, and 12 with normal colon cells (control group). Mucosal fatty acids were measured in diseased and normal mucosa of cancer and polyps patients and from normal mucosa of controls. There were no differences in fatty acid constituents of plasma phospholipids and normal mucosa between the polyps and control groups. But there were distinctive differences in fatty acids between diseased and normal mucosa of the patients in the polyps group." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"Participants who consumed the most red meat had a 25 percent higher risk of developing colorectal cancer compared with those who ate the least, and a 20 percent higher risk of developing lung cancer.12 The risk of esophageal and liver cancer was increased by between 20 and 60 percent. Higher meat intake also correlated with an increased risk or pancreatic cancer in men." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "The leading types of cancer among women are breast cancer (182,800 cases), lung cancer (74,600 cases), and colorectal cancer (66,600 cases). In addition, there are tens of thousands of underprivileged people who have cancer, but will not even receive a diagnosis because they cannot afford health insurance or a visit to the doctor. Cancer is not just a word, but also a statement that refers to abnormal or unusual behavior of the body's cells. However, in quite a different context, cancer is referred to as a star sign." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"Mint is high in salicylic acid and it is thought to play a role in the prevention of colorectal cancer and atherosclerosis. LUNG CANCER: Mint given to mice with lung cancer reduced tumors significantly. The effects were attributed to the antioxidative and radical scavenging properties of mint. BACTERIA: Research indicates that some essential oils may reduce food-borne pathogens. In one study, the natural essential oils found in mint prevented E. coli bacteria from growing. Mint might provide an alternative to conventional antimicrobial additives in foods." - David W. Grotto, RD, LDN, 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life! (Get the book.)

"COLON CANCER: A study found that female subjects who frequently consumed peanuts and peanut products had reduced risk for colorectal cancer. Tips jo r Using Pea nuts SELECTION AND STORAGE: • Look for peanuts either shelled or unshelled, as oil, as peanut butter (with or without additives like sugar and salt, smooth, creamy, chunky, super-chunky, and more), and as an ingredient in confections or sauces—you name it! • Peanuts can turn rancid quickly so try to taste one before you buy them." - David W.

"CANCER: A long-term Japanese study involving 1,988 gastric, 2,455 breast, 1,398 lung, and 1,352 colorectal cancer patients and 50,706 non-cancer outpatients showed that frequent consumption of pumpkin was associated with decreased risk for all four types of cancer. PROSTATE CANCER: A correlation study found that those subjects who consumed pumpkin regularly had a decreased risk of developing prostate cancer. DIABETES: A Japanese case-control study involving 133 participants with a history of diabetes mellitus found that those who ate a good amount of pumpkin had better blood glucose control." - David W.

"This epidemiological observation suggests that there could The second most common cancer in both men and women in Canada is colorectal cancer. Lactobacillus species) have a lower risk of colon cancer. These good microbes must be causing positive health effects in the colon. Probiotics keep the colon healthy. What influences the species in the colon microflora? A healthy colon contains a variety of probiotics, particularly Bifidobacterium." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.) "This creation of carcinogens increases the risk of colorectal cancer developing. Thus, theoretically by reducing the production of these enzymes by reducing the number of bad microbes in your colon, you can reduce the risk of cancer. In fact, animal studies have found that reducing the activity of these enzymes does reduce the incidence of tumors (cancer). Probiotics may be a way to reduce the presence and activity of these cancer-promoting enzymes in the colon." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"The secret to avoiding colorectal cancer is diet, exercise, and lifestyle; we recommend a diet high in fiber, rich in raw, organic foods, and detoxification with Flor-Essence. So here we have the picture: Our colons contain toxic matter. Our food is not digested thoroughly. Our immune systems are suppressed by the toxins, by lacking proper nutrition, and by a digestive process that is all-consuming. Is it any wonder that so many health experts believe colon cancer is nutritionally based?" - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"According to the "Women's Health Initiative," a low fat diet, long a mantra for good health, seems not to prevent breast cancer, colorectal cancer, or cardiovascular disease.13 In some academic circles it is fashionable to debunk science. Fair enough. Our thought experiment joins in that effort. But in those same circles, it is fashionable to assume, a priori, that some natural curative is efficacious. We would propose a healthy dose of skepticism, and even more, an agnostic skepticism. Nothing works until it is so demonstrated, to paraphrase T. H." - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.)

"Sufficient folate intake has also been associated with lower colorectal cancer risk. FOLATE AND VITAMIN B12 High levels of folic acid supplementation, especially above 1000 meg daily, can mask symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency. The addition of folic acid to food is risky because some people may get enough folic acid to hide the terrible effects of vitamin B12 deficiency on nerves. The addition of folic acid to grains is also controversial because it only helps prevent neural tube defects about half of the time." - Dr. Steve Blake, Vitamins and Minerals Demystified (Get the book.)

"There was a 37 percent reduction in total cancer incidence, a 63 percent decline in the incidence of prostate cancer, a 58 percent decrease in the incidence of colorectal cancer, and a 46 percent decline in the incidence of lung cancer. Oh yes, and a 50 percent decrease in total cancer mortality. (The authors speculate that the reason they didn't see results with skin cancer was because the nature of skin cancer is such that this study may have been too short to demonstrate a positive effect.) An Antioxidant Superpower Selenium is also one of the most powerful antioxidants on the planet." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.)

"For example, some experts assert that up to 90 percent of colorectal cancer in the United States could be avoided by choosing the right foods. Granted, there are no guarantees to eating and living healthfully, but it sure does help put the odds in our favor. FREE RADICALS 101 Though the term free radicals may suggest images of mutant aliens from deep space, it actually refers to naturally occurring oxygen molecules that contain unpaired electrons, which render them unstable." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.) "The women who started the study with low blood levels of vitamin D developed colorectal cancer twice as often as those with the highest levels. This evidence supports the idea that long-term vitamin D status may affect our risk for this cancer, according to Karen Collins, MS, RD, CDN, nutrition advisor for the American Institute for Cancer Research. In another large study, this time with Swedish men, calcium was found to be potentially protective for colon cancer." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.)

"In the case of the Women's Health Initiative study of dietary fat, a $415 million undertaking sponsored by the National Institutes of Health, the eating habits and health outcomes of nearly forty-nine thousand women (aged fifty to seventy-nine) were tracked for eight years to assess the impact of a low-fat diet on a woman's risk of breast and colorectal cancer and cardiovascular disease. Forty percent of the women were told to reduce their consumption of fat to 20 percent of total calories." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.)

"Several large population studies have suggested that garlic eaters have significantly lower rates of these three cancers compared to non-garlic eaters—about 50 percent less risk for stomach and prostate cancer and about 33 percent less risk for colorectal cancer. The AICR names garlic as one of 11 foods that fight cancer and reports that laboratory research suggests diallyl disulfide helps protect against cancers of the skin, colon, and lung." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.)

"The HRT users also had a reduced risk of colorectal cancer and fractures, but overall the risks outweighed the benefits. This study marked a significant moment in history for HRT, and millions of women discontinued their HRT as a result of the findings. In the five years since the WHI, many studies have been completed, shedding new light on why decades of observational studies of postmenopausal women using HRT differed from the WHI study and why there seems to be such disparity amongst some of the key studies in the area of memory, heart disease, and breast cancer in particular." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"Trihalomethanes are linked to bladder and colorectal cancer, and exposure through drinking and skin absorption has been shown in studies to increase one's chance of miscarriages and other reproductive problems. Haloacetic acids may also be present in your water, which are also by-products of chlorine's disinfection, and are classified by the EPA as possible cancer-causing agents. In addition, traces of herbicides and pharmaceutical drugs may also be present. Tap water is not as clean as the government would like us to think.

"Vitamin D suppresses tumor growth and promotes differentiation in colorectal cancer in much the same ways it does in breast and prostate cancer. Normal colon cells have higher vitamin D receptor concentrations than abnormal or cancerous colon cells. Skin Cancer Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in both men and women. Usually people lump all skin cancers together, but significant differences exist in frequency and prognosis for different skin cancers." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"In 102 cases of colorectal cancer researchers found that those with the highest level of fasting glucose had almost twice the increased risk of colon cancer. Those with the highest fasting insulin levels also were associated with the increased risk of colon cancer.154 A recent study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition has shown that people who consume a large amount of processed sugar each day are at a much higher risk for pancreatic cancer, which kills about 30,000 Americans each year." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"In the United States, colorectal cancer is the fourth most common cancer in men, after skin, prostate and lung cancer. It is also the fourth most common cancer in women, aftet skin, lung and breast cancer. Colon cancer remains the second leading cause of death in our society despite advances in treatment. Yet, the irony is that colon cancer is largely preventable with good health habits—and with the help of an overlooked herb, watercress." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)
