My first wife had Hodgkins disease back in the 80's. We read everything we could find on the subject. She was 20 years old. We read one particular book about something called Cancell/Entelev. We wanted to find it, but had no luck as the FDA had banned it. She ended up doing the standard radiation/chemo and survived. MJ played a big part in that, because it gave her an appetite as the chemo destroyed the good along with the bad. It also made her laugh and smile. Those two things are near impossible for a 20 yo facing the end. She survived the treatment and has been in remission ever since.
In the United States no one can make a claim for the prevention, cure or mitigation of any disease unless clinical trials are conducted under FDA auspices and the claims are approved. Yeah, home of the free...
I assume you are speaking of autophagy on a cellular level. The atkins diet and ketosis is a good example of autophagy.
You certainly are what you eat. Most of these cancers didn't even exist at the turn of the century. Through the mass production of food and the addition of preservatives are we secretly killing ourselves. Did you know that when vegetable oil hit the market back in the 30's, within the next 3-4 years the heart attack and stroke rate skyrocketed. There are chemicals they add to your veggie oil and margarine to mask the odor because it is one of the most vile smells you will take in.
Eat whole foods. Grow your own vegetables or buy local. Don't trust the word "Organic" anymore. The government owns that word and have allowed the big companies to buy there way into the market for the simple reason that people will pay 2 and 3 times more for that tomato because that word is stamped on it. Dole or that jolly green fella any other huge company can NOT produce truly organic food on that scale.
You got me on a roll now, W hippie.
