I am aware of a newborn with liver cancer. Please pray for him. His name is Thomas. He is at Mass General Hospital so he has that going for him!

If you eat right, don’t drink, don’t smoke and get plenty of rest and exercise you get six more years in an old folks home.

Simple answer: it doesn’t. But it does reduce known risk factors, so healthy living lowers the probability of contracting certain kinds of cancer. Prevention is a fool’s dream. Eg, there are many non smokers who never worked in a mine, or handled asbestos, or endured a smokey environment who have gotten lung cancer.

It reduces risks. Other factors contribute to cancer, exposure to harmful frequency energy, handling of carcinogenic chemicals and substances, eating foods with certain chemicals in them increase rates, radiation exposure, anything that can damage dna ...

Or, as the old joke goes, “you don’t live longer, it just seems longer”.

Runners live 5 years longer than everybody else, but they spend the extra 5 years running.

My own research shows two major influencing factors relating to cancer.

1. Predisposition due to immune system suppression.

2. Toxins in environment

A varying combination of these two factors increases the chances of cancer.

For example, if the immune system is suppressed a lower level of toxin in the environment is needed.

As an extreme empath, I feel a severe burning sensation in the bottom of my liver, just under the right side of my rib cage when I am near a person with cancer. It feels as though I’m being stabbed with a hot poker.

In every single case, which I have tested many with cancer, when I physically touch the memory stored in the person’s soul attached to the cancer, the person’s physical body moves to their left. This indicates that the person internalizes emotions. I have found this to be true in all auto immune disorders, including cancer and MS.

I search for the stored memory in the soul field that represents the experience that became the perceptual programming event creating the self punishment through the immune system.

Breast cancers are usually easiest to detect the root causation for several reasons. Brain tumors are more difficult.

Much of the response appears to relate to cytochrome P450 enzyme levels in the liver.

I know this all sounds bizarre. Welcome to my life reality. It makes it extremely difficult to be in public.

I remember a line in the movie North. Something along these lines: Every hour you exercise increases your lifespan by an hour. So why bother if you’re just going to spend all that extra time exercising?

The evidence seems to show that a clean life lived apart from serious environmental risks DOES PREVENT CANCER. Not perfectly, but well enough.

Genetic tendencies can often be prevented or headed off by various lifestyle changes. That is, if you know about them soon enough.

The past generations including Gen X, mine, have been exposed to so much crap in our lives that is now too late to undo. The best we can do is to live as cleanly as we can, and to raise our kids as cleanly as we can.

With all that said, we also take risks with our jobs, hobbies, sports. Sometimes life is a risk. I’m not living with zero risks like a sterile lab rat. But where a cleaner, healthier choice wouldn’t reduce my quality of life, I will do it.

If I could offer advice to clean up one’s life, I’d advise

1) eat healthy animals, avoid feedlot cheap meat and dairy

2) eat organic produce to reduce the sheer total of pesticides you build your body with

3) reduce all processed carb foods, breads, desserts, etc. Eat starches in forms close to natural, like rice, potatoes, root vegetables, corn. Your gut bugs need them and they help keep you healthy.

4) don’t use chemical laundry products post first wash, no softeners or dryer sheets or starches. Make sure your detergent gets rinsed off the clothes. Don’t dry clean much. All of these products enter your skin and your bloodstream

5) same with lotions and skin products, trade the chemicals for natural oils like shea butter and coconut oil

6) get fresh air, sunshine and exercise

7) supplement vitamins and minerals to a therapeutic normal range because our soils and diets are depleted of them

8) don’t cook or warm foods in plastic, including nonstick surfaces

You can do all this and still get sick, but your likelihood is much less than someone who doesn’t take this kind of care.

MY KIND OF MAN....big Seeeegar & a two fisted drinker.

Looks pretty good for 40.....<: <: <:

Like the Dr told the man to cut down on his bacon and eggs in the morning and only a cup of coffee.

My Grandfather ate half a dozen eggs and a pound of bacon and a pot of coffee every day for breakfast and lived to be 94.

YES, but that was before we knew about cholesterol’s.

AND it is a common fact that anyone that ate beans in the Army during the Civil War died.

Anyone that ate ANYTHING in the Civil War died. There ain't a single one living today.

Living a healthy lifestyle is always the smart choice as it enables you to live many more trouble free years later in life regardless of whether it prevents cancer or not.
