Popular singer and songwriter Dan Fogelberg died the other day of advanced prostate cancer. I’ve read that the cancer was detected in 2004 although was too advanced for doctors or treatments to help. He spent the last few years of his life enjoying his family, skiing, his new home and friends. One of his last wishes was More on Dan Fogelberg Dies of Prostate Cancer, Didn’t Want Others To Suffer Like He Did

Hundreds of researchers taking part in a 5 year study reviewing over 7,000 cancer related studies now have specific dietary recommendations to avoid cancer.
The recommendations include:
- avoid all processed meats
- limit intake of all meats (including fresh meat)
- eat mostly plant based foods
- be active for at least 30 minutes daily
- stay lean and fit
- avoid sugary drinks (like soda)
- eat fast foods sparingly, if at all
- breastfeed children for at least 6 months
First and foremost, the study concluded that processed meat of any type should be avoided completely for life. Processed meats include deli meats, sausages, hot dogs, bacon, links, canned meats, beef jerky, meats in pizza and sauces, meats in kids lunch packs, meats in canned soups, meats in packaged frozen foods, ham, salami and pepperoni.
The main culprit in these foods is sodium nitrite, followed by MSG and other chemicals and additives. They are proven to cause disease and other health issues and should be completely avoided for life.
The study also recommended limiting intake of all meats to 11oz per week, if at all. Their diet recommendations are to eat mostly a plant based diet, avoiding sugary drinks and alcohol and eating a small amount of unprocessed grains daily.
These recommendations are not surprising, mostly a confirmation that what most of us have known for years. To avoid disease, and specifically cancer, concentrate on eating a diet of fresh plant based foods including fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and natural grains and stay active outside in the sunshine daily.

In a recent study published in the International Journal of Gynecological Cancer, the breast cancer drug Tamoxifen (sounds toxic, doesn’t it?) was shown to actually increase the risk of uterine cancer and death in women.
This is only one of many studies that show Tamoxifen to increase instances and deaths from uterine cancer, although the drug is still on the market.
It’s also interesting to note that most all prescription cancer drugs have a steep price tag, but small (if any) benefit. Some cost as much as $100,000 but only extend the patient’s life a few months (according to their own research).
Why spend hundreds of thousands on chemicals when the best and most logical alternatives cost pennies in comparison?
Can you prevent cancer?
Yes you can, and here are the best ways to do it:
- Stay active and get plenty of exercise. Strenuous exercise and activity that makes you sweat helps move toxins out of your body, helps keep your insulin levels down and makes you feel good, physically and mentally.
- Get at least 30 minutes of exposure to the sun daily, preferably earlier or later in the day. The sun provides the best source of Vitamin D, proven to reduce by 50% your risk of getting any cancer.
- Avoid processed and modified foods and concentrate on fresh, dried, preferably organic, fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and natural grains.
- If you have to cook some foods, steam them instead of any other method.
- Maintain a positive outlook, release negative emotions and enjoy your life.
- Avoid environmental toxins including synthetic air fresheners, pesticides, bug sprays, household cleaners and pollution.
- Drink lots of spring or distilled water.
- Get plenty of sleep.
And that’s not just my opinion, even the American Cancer Society, most often tied to the medical establishment, has reported that upwards of 62% of all cancers can be avoided by making simple lifestyle changes.
Regain your health, save time and money and enjoy your life.
To your best health!

Scientists from the Rowett Research Institute have discovered that those on a low carb diet, a diet normally low on breads, pastas, fruits and vegetables, cause a 4-fold reduction in a cancer fighting fatty acid found in the stomach.
The fatty acid, called butyrate, is created by cancer fighting bacteria in the stomach. In the study, dieters that ate a low carb diet had a four-fold reduction in the bacteria and are at risk for colorectal cancer.

Low carb diets in general avoid the most important foods in our diet, fruits and vegetables. Not only do they provide the nutrients not found in most other foods, they also contain fiber, not found in meat or animal products, that is essential for good bowel function. It’s no surprise to me that the risk of colorectal cancer increases since it’s quite clear from other studies and good common sense that your body needs fiber to function properly, and that avoiding it will often cause cancer.
