Tom's Blog on Life

Dr. Breslow practiced what he preached, living until he was 97, passing away this April. Here are Dr. Breslow’s seven habits for healthy living and a longer life:
• Stop smoking. Dr. Breslow was one of the first researchers to prove a link between smoking and diseases such as lung cancer. Today, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that one in five deaths in the U.S. – 443,000 in all – is directly attributable to smoking. A smoker can expect to live 11 to 14 years less than a nonsmoker.
• Exercise regularly. If you’re a couch potato, you’re setting yourself up for a host of troubles, from obesity and joint problems to diabetes and heart disease. Getting active will make you feel better and improve your health as well. One recent study found that as little as 15 minutes a day of physical activity can reduce your risk of dying by 14 percent. Another study shows that daily moderate to high levels of exercise can increase your lifespan by nearly four years.
SPECIAL: Your Sugar Level May Be Killing You. Control Naturally.
• Drink moderately or not at all. Studies have shown that one alcoholic drink a day can reduce your risk of heart disease and increase levels of the “good” cholesterol HDL. But if you don’t ordinarily drink, don’t start (Dr. Breslow was a teetotaler). And if you do drink, limit yourself to one 5-ounce glass of wine or liquor (or 12 ounces of beer) if you’re a woman; two if you’re a man.
• Get enough sleep. Sleep deprivation can do more than just make you groggy in the morning. It can weaken your immune system, lead to depression, and even increase your risk of certain cancers. Aim for at least seven hours of sleep a night, and talk to your doctor if you regularly have trouble falling or staying asleep.
• Eat regular meals. Skipping meals or saving your biggest meals for late in the day can lead to weight gain and diabetes. Why? Severe hunger makes your metabolism sluggish, making it hard to take off weight.
• Maintain a healthy weight. You know that obesity raises the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, and stroke. What you may not realize is that being overweight is tied to many more conditions: certain cancers, joint and back pain, depression, fatty liver disease, and sleep disorders, just to name a few.
• Eat breakfast. There’s a reason it’s called “the most important meal of the day.” Not only does eating in the morning help you lose weight, it also boosts your energy level, kick-starts your metabolism and improves memory and concentration. Just be sure your breakfast consists of healthy fare like whole-grain cereal, egg whites, and fruit.

I get a daily newsletter from a girl called Sherry Brescia. She provides great stories and testimonials for her book on a practice called “food combining” where you do not eat starches and protein at the same meal. Many people resolve decade long conditions by doing so.

Anyway, this morning’s newsletter was a classic! The false data spewed out by those in the sickness industry who are supposed to be helping us is mind boggling to anyone with a rudimentary knowledge of the wondrous healing effect out bodies can perform if we give them the right ingredients to do so.

Here is here newsletter in its entirety:

My Shocking Interview With Cancer Patient

I recently interviewed a young lady (Cindy) who had been treated
for cancer.

Thankfully she’s doing well and all her tests over the last 9 months report her to be cancer-free.

So I took the opportunity to ask some probing questions about her diagnosis and treatment.

And her answers shocked me.

Here’s why:

Question #1
“What were you told about the cancer and how/why it may have started?”
Cindy’s response: “I was told it was ‘just one of those things’ and it ‘just happened.’ I guess I’m one of the unlucky ones.”

My comments:
I explained to Cindy that “luck” has nothing to do with it and it’s NOT “just one of those things.” Instead cancer typically forms under some VERY specific conditions.

I told her cancer starts when the DNA in one of your cells becomes damaged.
If it’s not stopped, the damaged cell begins to replicate itself WAAAY too fast until it forms a tumor. At the same time, your natural cell death rate slows down, which sets the stage for the tumor to get bigger…FAST.

It can eventually start to invade surrounding tissues and then move on to other areas (metastasize).

But NONE of this can happen unless these two conditions are present:
1- You have a toxic, acidic body where cancer can thrive and
2- You have a weak immune system

Cindy was shocked — no one had explained any of this to her.

Question #2
“What dietary advice were you given during and after your chemotherapy and surgery?”

Cindy’s response: “None really. The only time diet came up was during chemo. My doctors told me to eat pizza because my immune system was weak and they felt that pizza was a ‘safe’ food because it’s cooked at a high temperature.”

My comments:
There is so much wrong with that statement, I almost don’t know where to begin.

First and foremost, pizza is a hefty dose of refined carbs, which basically turn to sugar in your body, which cancer just loves. And it feeds the harmful bacteria in your gut. That makes your immune system even WEAKER!
Secondly, pizza is a difficult food for your body to digest. A lot of acid waste can be created in the process, and unless you balance it out with enough alkaline foods, the acid wastes can build up in your body and keep you a perfect home for cancer.

And the remark about pizza being “safe” because it’s cooked on high heat? That is unbelievable!

Even if the high temperatures did kill “germs” or whatever may have been on the raw pizza, what about the all the possible “germs” from people it passes through who cut it, boxed it, delivered it and served it?

But the saddest thing of all here is that Cindy’s body, more than ANY other time in her life, needed good nutrients from real foods to fight this deadly disease.

Yet she was told to eat pizza by a “prestigious” cancer treatment institute.

Question #3
“What was suggested to you about building your immune system back up during and after chemotherapy?”

Cindy’s response: “Well, I had to be really careful not to get sick. Anytime I felt a cold coming on or whatever, I was rushed to the ER and given antibiotics.”

My comments:
Well, that’s the icing on the cake.

A strong immune system is vital in order to defeat cancer and to come back from the devastation of chemotherapy. And the strength of the immune system is completely dependent on having a healthy population of beneficial bacteria in your gut (where 70% of the immune system happens to reside).
In order to make sure you have enough of the “good guys” it’s important to eat nutritious foods to nourish your friendly flora and to supplement with probiotics.

Cindy’s doctors never even mentioned probiotics! And we know that she wasn’t told to eat good foods.

Regarding the antibiotics–while antibiotics may kill an infection, they also destroy beneficial bacteria, so your immune system continues to be compromised. Antibiotics make it weaker, in fact.

So that made Cindy even MORE susceptible to catching something else.
Cindy’s eyes were as big as saucers at this point, so here is the “rest of the story” I told her about fighting and preventing cancer:

Are you a good home or not?

Mountains of studies have shown that cancer must have an acidic, toxic environment in order to thrive.

And on the flip side, it FAILS TO SURVIVE in a clean, alkaline environment.
Although there are many factors that can make your body acidic (like smoking, environmental toxins, stress and medications) number one is your diet–specifically, eating mainly foods (like pizza!) that create acid wastes in excess of what your body can eliminate.

The immune system’s role

When the DNA in one of your cells becomes damaged as described above and cancer cells begin to multiply, it’s not like your body immediately waves the white flag of defeat and you become a statistic.

On the contrary, you have an internal army of very sophisticated cancer protection–your immune system.

You see, in a healthy body, your immune cells detect and engulf cancer cells (plus other dangerous toxins and microbes) and destroy them.
This process is happening all the time inside of you.

But if you have a weak immune system, not only are you lacking this vital cancer protection, but you’re also susceptible to every bug and virus around!

Now for the REAL advice

Having a clean, alkaline body and a strong immune system are THE most important things you can do to help fight and prevent cancer.

Here are two very effective measures you can take to achieve this goal:

1) Nourish your body & keep it clean on the inside
The National Cancer Institute and the American Cancer Society estimate that at least 30-35% of all cancers are related to a poor diet!

Here’s why a good diet has such a profound effect on cancer prevention and treatment:
First of all, easy to digest alkaline foods (like fruits and vegetables) can help eliminate built-up toxic wastes in your body.

So the more of those you eat, the less attractive of a home you are to cancer, making it more difficult for cancer to thrive!

The nutrients in your foods play a big part…

Antioxidant vitamins (like Vitamin C and E) and minerals (like selenium) can actually help PREVENT and repair DNA damage so it never gets a chance to develop into a tumor!

Plus, Vitamins A, D and folate all encourage proper cell differentiation and growth.

And many phytochemicals found in fruits and vegetables have been shown to have anti-carcinogenic properties and are potent antioxidants as well.

The great news is, having this ever-important healthy diet is not only easy, but it’s tasty, too.

The Great Taste No Pain health system is your ticket for enjoying delicious, good-for-you foods.

Great Taste No Pain shows you how to create healthful, nutritious meals (featuring many of the anti-cancer nutrients mentioned above) that are not only rich and tasty (truly), but are also easy to digest.

When your digestion is accomplished thoroughly, not only will you be helping to eliminate toxic waste build-up, but you’ll also help maximize your body’s absorption of cancer-fighting nutrients from your foods.

2) Beef up that immune system
A strong immune system is absolutely vital in the fight against cancer.
In addition to a healthy diet which feeds your friendly flora, probiotic supplementation can help you achieve this important, possibly life-saving goal.
Super Shield’s 13 strains of potent friendly bacteria are up to the task, ready to line your intestinal walls, help keep your digestion smooth and be on the lookout for “suspicious” cells with damaged DNA.

Prevention is possible and where it’s at
In spite of all the latest and greatest detection techniques and advances in surgical procedures, cancer continues to be a major killer, second only to heart disease.

Prevention is where it’s at, my friend.
When you help PREVENT cancer from thriving in you to begin with, you are taking the most significant step toward a long, disease-free life and feeling energetic and alive while others around you are dragging and dropping.

Do it now.

You couldn’t start out this New Year in any better way.

To your health,

Sherry Brescia

Hi Sherry,
I just watched a story on the 700 Club about how the food we eat can either encourage cancer to grow, or by avoiding certain foods we can help kill it.
You have been talking about this for years!

Plus all your information about all the other diseases that food contributes to.
You could probably watch the program yourself on CBN news. Would love to see you on this show also, with ALL the information and research that you have collected over the years.

Your Great Taste No Pain has changed my life from one of horrible discomfort and sleepless nights to living a normal life…and even enjoying going out for a special dinner.

Now that I know how to combine my foods for good digestion, I feel safe and secure.

God bless you and your staff for being so quick to keep us informed!

Blessings,
Connie
