13 July 2010 UK Edition Dear Reader, It's one of the most deadly cancers of our time. Seldom detected in early stages, it spreads fast. Signs and symptoms may not appear until it's so advanced that surgical removal isn't possible. And, of course, the mainstream throws everything they can at it. But we all know how grim the outlook is. So it seems the best defence is prevention. And here we have some very good news. Researchers at the National Cancer Institute found that a common nutrient could be a major key in slashing your risk of pancreatic cancer. The results of the study, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, show that women who have higher food and total intakes of folate face a significantly lower risk of developing pancreatic cancer. Protection seemed to increase with higher intake of folate. For now, though, it looks like the good news is confined to women. The researchers didn't see the same effect in men. Now, I found this news exciting, because it strengthens the case of using nature in the fight against cancer... Continues below... 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. The right plan for HRT Q: After having my hysterectomy a few months ago, I showed my doctor some of your articles. He actually agreed to use bio-identical hormone replacement therapy instead of conventional HRT drugs, but he says I don't really need progesterone because my uterus has been removed. I know you recommend progesterone along with the bio-identical programme, so I'm wondering what you think. Dr. Jonathan V. Wright: All medical textbooks — even mainstream ones — state that there are "receptors" for progesterone on bones (where progesterone helps trigger bone growth), on brain cells (where progesterone helps to stabilize mood), on white blood cells (where progesterone helps support and regulate the immune system), and on and on. In fact, every textbook I've ever read says that there are progesterone receptors on nearly every cell in the body. Progesterone is one of those essential-to-life molecules that our bodies make whether or not we take extra amounts, so even though you won't die from not supplementing any, your internal production of it slows down as you age, just like your oestrogen production slows down. So if you're taking bio-identical hormone replacement therapy for oestrogen, you should follow nature's plan by also taking natural progesterone.
