85% of Cancers are Entirely Avoidable


*** The World Health Organisation (WHO) has revealed that 85 per cent of adult cancers are entirely avoidable and, of these, around half are related to nutritional deficiencies in the Western diet.

*** A Brigham Young University study found that a combination of 30 minutes of cardio exercise a day along with a switch to a healthier diet dropped the participants' health risks for:

  • diabetes

  • cancer

  • and heart disease dramatically in just 6 weeks!


  • ..And that's just generally eating well...

    In this groundbreaking 267-page book, you will discover how adding the power of individual and specific foods to your diet can have a dramatic effect on your life and your health.

    How to Avoid the Unnecessary Use of Statin Drugs

    Dear Reader,

    Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to put your hands together for the comedy of errors of drug giant AstraZeneca.

    You may recall that the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently approved the use of Crestor (AstraZeneca's statin drug) for healthy people with no cholesterol problems if they're men over the age of 50, women over the age of 60, if they have one risk factor (such as smoking), and if a blood test shows elevated inflammation.

    An estimated 6.5 million people in the US alone meet all those criteria, instantly making them candidates to take Crestor for the rest of their lives.

    How to wrangle your doctor

    So, what do those 6.5 million people say when their doctors strongly recommend a lifetime regimen of Crestor?

    Actually, this one is pretty easy.

    Here's a can't-miss Three Point Plan for steering your doctor away from the Crestor topic and putting the matter to rest once and for all.

    Point One: Crunch some numbers

    When your doctor tells you that a Crestor study with healthy subjects just like you reduced heart attack risk by 55 per cent, you're not going to blink. Because the numbers are all on your side:

    * Out of about 8,900 subjects who took Crestor for two years, 31 subjects had heart attacks
    * Out of about the same number of placebo subjects, 68 had heart attacks
    * Sure, that's a 55 per cent "relative" difference between the two groups, but here's how the maths REALLY boils down: To avoid a single heart attack, 500 people have to take Crestor for a year.

    A cardiologist summed it up like this: "The benefit is vanishingly small."

    Point Two: You can't ignore this serious, deal-breaking side effect

    In the Crestor study, subjects who took the drug were more likely to develop type 2 diabetes. And in a previous e-alert, I told you about research that looked at the results of 13 large statin trials. Results showed that for every 225 subjects treated with statins for four years, one would develop type 2 diabetes.

    Point Three: Another deal-breaker

    One doctor said that about one in 10 statin users experience muscle pain and weakness. And recent research shows that the pain is actually a symptom of muscle damage.

    Why would a healthy person put himself at such risk for a "vanishingly small" protection against heart attack and other cardio events?

    Your doctor will be hard pressed to answer that one.

    However, if you are one of the above 'unlicky' ones and still want to protect your heart health, you can still do this without statins...

  • Strength your overall cardiovascular system


  • Help sustain optimal cholesterol levels


  • Maintain and balance the critical energy needed in your most vital muscle - your heart.

    ...and another thing

    Vitamin K rides again as a potential cancer fighter.

    Just two weeks ago I told you how a high dietary intake of K2 may help reduce the risk of cancer — particularly prostate and lung cancers.

    In that study, highest intakes of K2 were also linked to a lower risk of cancer mortality.

    In a new study from Mayo Clinic that included about 600 Non- Hodgkin lymphoma patients and 1,000 healthy control subjects, those with the highest dietary intake of vitamin K1 were 45 per cent less likely to have the disease.

    Many subjects with the highest intake also used supplements that contained vitamin K.

    Dark leafy green vegetables, cauliflower, broccoli, olive oil, and avocados are all rich in vitamin K1, which is converted into K2 in the intestine. Dietary K2 is mostly found in liver and egg yolk, and fermented products such as yoghurt and cheese.

    This study was part of ongoing Mayo research that's examining the link between diet and Non-Hodgkin lymphoma risk.

    The lead researcher said, "These findings add to a lot of other data that support a diet that includes plenty of green leafy vegetables in order to prevent many cancers as well as other diseases."
