According to the <i><a href="http://www.cancure.org/cancer_fighting_foods.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">National Cancer Institute</a></i>, an estimated one-third of cancer deaths in the US could be related to a person's diet, an unhealthy one at that. Eating sugary, heavily-processed foods with harmful additives like GMOs, chemicals or
 even animal products with hormones is the usual for many people in 
developed countries nowadays and they don't even know it. Unfortunately, the Philippines having adopted the sad American diet of fastfood and junk food isn't far behind. I truly believe that what people eat can truly kill them. On the other hand, eating 
whole, organic foods free from chemicals gives people access to powerful cancer-fighting 
substances. Antioxidants are known to neutralize free radicals, which 
are natural substances made in the human body and found in environmental
 pollutants that cause cell damage. These healthy substances are found in 
abundance in plant foods and spices, check these out:<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<b>Turmeric ("luyang dilaw" </b>in our local wet and dry markets<b>)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
With its active ingredient, curcumin, is admittedly a potent 
anti-inflammatory and antioxidant with numerous medicinal uses. The more
 serious diseases treated and prevented with turmeric include 
inflammatory bowel diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, cystic fibrosis, 
Alzheimer's, diabetes, and even cancer.<br />
<br />
Many studies have shown that turmeric
 helps the body destroy cancer cells, helps prevent tumor formation, 
slows or inhibits the spread of cancer cells, and induces apoptosis 
(cell suicide) of mutated cancerous cells.<br />
<br />
<b>Tomatoes</b> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The active compounds found in tomatoes, carotenoids and
 lycopene (especially lycopene), are very helpful, especially in the 
fight of prostate and pancreatic cancer in men. Seven to ten helpings 
a week is recommended, both cooked and raw juice. To gain the health 
benefits of juice, make your own. Store bought tomato juice is usually 
pasteurized and won't give you the effects. Lycopene is a strong antioxidant.<br />
<br />
<b>Ginger</b><br />
<br />
Ginger may kill cancer cells.
 Although not yet proven in human studies (I hope they conduct one soon), ginger may cause a process 
called apoptosis that causes cancer cells to effectively kill themselves
 without causing damage to nearby healthy cells. Ginger is also linked 
to autophagy, which is when cancer cells are "tricked into digesting 
themselves," says J. Rebecca Liu of the <i>University of Michigan</i> in
 Ann Arbor. Liu is an assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology 
who has been studying the effects of ginger on ovarian cancer cells.<br />
<br />
<b>Kale</b><br />
<br />
Kale
 contains phytochemicals called isothiocyanates that may inhibit tumor 
growth. These chemicals may also stop substances that cause cancer from 
getting to their targets. Kale contains nitrogen compounds called 
indoles that can help prevent a conversion of certain lesions into 
cancer cells in estrogen-sensitive tissues.<br />
<br />
<b>Cruciferous vegetables</b><br />
<br />
Studies
 on cruciferous vegetables show that these foods may help patients 
with colon or prostate cancer. Cruciferous vegetables include all 
vegetables in the Brassicaceae family, such as my personal favorite bok choy, broccoli, 
cauliflower, cabbage, and similar green leafy vegetables. According to <a href="http://www.diet.com/g/cancerfighting-foods" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><i>Diet.com</i>,</a> cruciferous vegetables may decrease risk of prostate and other cancers.<br />
<br />
One study found that eating a lot of cruciferous vegetables decreased the risk of colon cancer. According to <i><a href="http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/diet/cruciferous-vegetables/print" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cancer.gov</a></i>, women who eat a least five servings of these vegetables weekly may be at less risk of lung cancer.<br />
<br />
<b>Nuts</b><br />
<br />
Nuts may be 
beneficial for cancer patients because they have antioxidants including 
kaempferol and quercetin. These antioxidants can suppress cancer growth.
 Brazil nuts in particular can help people with prostate cancer because 
of the high content of selenium. It them raw for best results. <br />
<br />
<b>Garlic</b><br />
<b> </b> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">The seven-year clinical study on garlic curing cancer</span> - the 
largest study ever conducted in history on garlic supplementation was 
performed by Chinese researchers collaborating with the National Cancer 
Institute. It was a test to see if the garlic could reduce precancerous 
gastric lesions. For all you science folks out there, yes, it was a 
double-blind study and was randomized, with over <b>3,000 human subjects for seven long clinical years</b>. You want to hear the results? Cancer risk was cut by 60% for the people with the highest intake of <b>allium-containing vegetables</b>, including aged garlic. Garlic reduces inflammation, 
fights free radicals, and fights cancer. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Eat it raw or chop it up and 
let it sit for 10-15 minutes before cooking with it or its beneficial 
compound, allicin, will not be released.<br />
<br />
Why settle for chemotherapy which has a very low success rate and has a long list of side effects that do our body more harm than good, when we can just eat healthy food to fight off cancer? It's way cheaper than chemo, not really harmful to the human body and the chances of you beating the disease has a higher success rate. It may not be on the news or covered by mainstream media, but cancer survivors who took the natural route and are now cancer-free do exist, and there is a lot of them.  <br />
