Foods that fight cancer free download

Wow,

I have read some more of Richard's book. Initially it enthuses me as much as Jane Plant's book, though it emphasises American eating rather than the UK. He claims one can cut 70% of US cancers by lifestyle changes. This does assume stopping smoking, it drops to 40% for idle, or 30% for fit non smokers. But these figures are still ten times the effectiveness of chemotherapy against simple breast cancer. He has authority as a university professor / medical researcher with MD and PhD.

There is a freely downloadable audio MP3 of him talking here that runs to 49 mins. Sorry, it has many commercials, but it is free! And I love Professor Richard Beliveau's french accent.

He disagrees with the NHS. They state Jan's cancer will be cured by their treatment and taking a pill for 5 years. Richard suggests it is an incurable chronic disease that needs lifetime eating and lifestyle changes. Being french he makes this sound like enjoyable drinking small amounts of red wine, and eating well cooked mediterranean quality foods, garlic and chocolate.

This work contrasts to our NHS. I checked again at the NHS sites today, and see that they are running a trial starting this year to look at effects of diet after breast cancer. I quote "f you are in group 2 you will not take part in the exercise programme or have any dietary advice from the researchers during the first 24 weeks of the study. They will give you a booklet about healthy eating, produced by the British Nutrition Foundation. And they will ask you to live your life as normal. After 24 weeks, they will offer you some advice about diet and exercise sessions."

How can a Canadian professor and Jane Plant have proven to my satisfaction the link to diet, yet the NHS are still trialling it? How can we call this research? Why not just read Richard and Jane's books? How can anyone who has had breast cancer be so unaware as to live for 24 weeks without changing their diet?

Richard's site is here, in French or English!

One thing that struck me maybe as God's amazing provision was the delivery of this book just 6 days before Jan starts radiotherapy. On page 177 he suggests that eating curry whilst taking green tea may significantly increase the effectiveness of radiotherapy in killing cancer cells. What timing! I will suggest she stops deodorant, and eats curry and garlic during radiotherapy! Pity the fellow passengers on the train.

Richard's link to curcumin, the spice in indian curries led me to this site. Amazing that there are proven techniques to increase the effectiveness of radiotherapy against cancer whilst minimising the damage done to the body. Why do our NHS not mention it?????
