Research in Cancer

"New" Research in Cancer Research:

Well, there are so many breakthroughs in Cancer Research I really don't know where to start. However, I would like to approach this subject from the perspective of Nutritional Diet, Regular Exercise, and an otherwise Healthy Lifestyle. The reason being that, were I to become employed in the Healthcare Industry, I would prefer to work with (or under) Doctors of Osteopathy (I appreciate their focus on the body's ability to heal itself), and or Nutritionist/Dietitian's with the same focus - on the body's ability to heal itself. Because in my humble opinion much of the "Research" outside of that, is primarily concerned with patenting new drug's for profit - that break the Hippocratic Oath by the Side-Effects, and for the most part deal only with the symptoms and not the cause. Further, from what I've seen just in terms of the Side-Effects of every New Drug, Procedures (like Chemotherapy/Radiation) or Treatment outside of a(n) Holistic Health approach - I am puzzled as to why it is even legal to sale such drugs/procedures. As you know, the body is an amazing, and miraculous organism - a literal organic pharmacy or chemical factory in and of itself. And if left alone to do so, it does indeed naturally make every effort to heal itself; however, if it doesn't get the proper nutrition, it can fail in its' efforts. And what I mean by Nutrition is Real Whole Food, as opposed to Genetically Modified Organism's (GMO), and or Genetically Engineered "Foods".

To that end there is Research of late that validates how things like: Alkaline Diet, Pure (non-fluoridated) Drinking Water (Alkaline also), Organic Whole Foods, Spices such as turmeric (curcuma longa), Herbs, and a myriad of other dietary and nutritional choices; that not only allow (and or help) the body cure Cancer and or put it in remission - but prevent Cancer in the first place. If my memory serves me correctly, I believe there's a saying "An ounce of prevention, is worth a thousand pounds of cure's", or something to that effect. This really proves to be the case when you take a look at the cost of Healthcare in general. So Please forgive me if this is not the kind of article the course calls for, but this was the quickest thing I knew anything about to write about. And as for the sources of information: Turmeric- http://www.healthdiaries.com/eatthis/20-health-benefits-of-turmeric.html; Alkaline Diet - http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3195546/; The effects of Fluoride in Water - an article by Yiamouyiannis, John, Ph.D. at this link: www.consumerhealth.org/articles/display.cfm?ID=19990303222823; there's a Youtube video of Sonia Barrett being interviewed by Lennon Honor at this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpziPbolaWk, that were I in a
