What Is Cancer?
Cancer is a collection of diseases involving abnormal cell growth that can spread to other parts of the body. It begins when genetic mutations disrupt the natural process of cell growth and death, allowing damaged cells to grow uncontrollably
Inflammation: The Silent Fuel for Cancer
Chronic inflammation is now recognized as a key driver of cancer. Long-term inflammation can:
Damage DNA
Suppress immune function
Promote tumor growth and spread
Create an environment that cancer cells thrive in
Common causes of inflammation:
Poor diet (sugar, trans fats, processed foods)
Chronic stress
Environmental toxins
Smoking and alcohol
Sedentary lifestyle
Gut imbalances (dysbiosis)
Hidden infections and parasites
Controlling inflammation is one of the most powerful things you can do to reduce your cancer risk
Where & How Does Cancer Form?
Cancer can begin anywhere in the body. Some of the most common types include:
Breast
Prostate
Lung
Colon
Skin
Liver
Lymphatic system (lymphoma)
🔍 Key Triggers:
Toxic load, from environment, cosmetics, food, water
Dietary choices, refined sugar, red meat, processed foods
Stress and trauma, weaken immune defenses over time
Parasites and chronic infections, burden the liver and immune system
Genetics, hereditary risk (but lifestyle still plays a major role)
Acidic internal pH, linked to cellular dysfunction
Anti-Inflammatory & Cancer-Fighting Foods:
Cruciferous vegetables, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, cabbage
Berries, rich in anthocyanins and antioxidants
Turmeric, contains curcumin, one of the most studied anti-cancer compounds
Garlic, allicin supports immune defense and cancer inhibition
Leafy greens, detoxify and support liver health
Ginger, powerful anti-inflammatory root
Green tea, EGCG compound helps prevent cell mutation
Chaga & Reishi mushrooms, immune-modulating and anti-tumor properties
Flaxseeds & chia seeds, omega-3s and lignans
Tomatoes, high in lycopene, protective especially for prostate health
Avocados, healthy fats + glutathione
Star Superfood: Graviola (Soursop)
This tropical fruit is known for its potent anti-cancer properties.
Contains acetogenins, shown in some lab studies to kill cancer cells.
Traditionally used in herbal medicine in South America.
Supplements That Support Cancer Prevention
Vitamin D3 + K2, immune regulation and cell health
Omega-3 fatty acids, reduce inflammation and protect cells
Probiotics, support gut-immune connection
Glutathione, master antioxidant for detox and DNA repair
Curcumin, from turmeric, anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor
Zinc & Selenium, essential for immune function and cell repair
Iodine, especially for breast and thyroid tissue
Quercetin, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiviral
Resveratrol, found in grapes, protects against oxidative stress
Maitake/D-fraction, mushroom extract used in cancer research
Modified Citrus Pectin, binds to cancer-promoting galectin-3 proteins
Melatonin, supports immune health and fights oxidative stress
Lifestyle & Natural Therapies for Cancer Prevention:
Lymphatic drainage massage, encourages cellular detox
Infrared saunas, supports deep sweating to eliminate toxins
Daily movement, walking, strength training, rebounding (great for lymph flow)
Breathwork & meditation, calm the nervous system and reduce inflammation
Cold exposure (cold showers, cryotherapy) anti-inflammatory and immune boosting
Dry brushing stimulates lymphatic detoxification
Sleep hygiene 7–9 hours of deep, restorative rest
Switch to natural personal care, avoid parabens, aluminum, artificial fragrances
Filtered water, eliminate fluoride, chlorine, heavy metals
Avoid plastics, especially heated or in contact with food
Eat Clean to Stay Clear
Choose organic produce to avoid pesticide exposure
Eliminate processed meats and refined sugar
Go for whole, unprocessed foods that are rich in color and life
Cook with anti-inflammatory oils – olive, avocado, coconut (avoid seed oils)
Consider intermittent fasting – helps the body repair and detoxify
