Things that increase your risk of getting cancer
Smoking and tobacco usage
We have been pounded with the fact that smoking tobacco increases the risk of cancer. Did you know that smoking increases the risk of cancer by about 50 percent?
Insulin Resistance
What they fail to tell us is that being insulin resistant increases our risk of cancer by about 500 percent? The net result is high blood sugar.
Diabeties
Or that being diabetic increases your risk of having cancer by more than 10 times? That is a 1000 percent increased risk! Reason? High, uncontrolled blood sugar.
Low vitamin D3
Have you ever heard that if your blood vitamin D levels are low, below 20 ng/ml you have a far greater chance of dying from cancer than if your vitamin D levels are higher ( above 50 ng/ml ). Vitamin D3 is critical for a good healthy life span.
According to medical sources, for most people, a blood level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D of 20 ng/mL or higher is considered adequate for bone and overall health. This is if nothing else, foolish. It is not optimal.
Observational studies have found that lower serum vitamin D levels are associated with higher overall cancer mortality. Also, an analysis of approximately 4,000 cancer cases within the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial found a 17% lower cancer mortality among men and women in the highest category of vitamin D than in the lowest category. It must be noted that vitamin D is a well know immune booster.
The book "Cancer Alternatives" by David Etheredge"
delves into over 200 supplements, vitamins, minerals, and herbs that are backed by studies and can affect whether or not you develop cancer or can help fight it.
Doctors are not allowed to tell you about these because they are not medicine but YOU need to know about them. There are also 30 different alternative cancer protocols in the book "Cancer Alternatives" that many people have tried and have had success with.
The book "Cancer Alternatives" provides a clear, plain, and simple discussion of all of these cancer alternatives in a way that the lay person can read and understand.
