These Plant Flavonoids Prevent & Fight Cancer

Cancer is sold as this huge scary death sentence. In reality, cancer is very much like any other chronic illness. 

It's a cry for help from the body that something is wrong, whether with our diet or lifestyle. Often, we've neglected to care for our physical/emotional well-being for quite a while, even years, before symptoms appear.

The body doesn't just decide to "malfunction". In the words of naturopath Andreas Moritz , cancer is a survival mechanism. It's a response to an acidic environment in the body, where our cells were forced to change into an anaerobic state just to survive.

But the good news is, it's not a death sentence. It's not this impossible situation. The body wants to heal. It's programmed to heal. We just have to remove the blockages to healing.

To understand how to prevent and fight cancer, first we have to understand what causes cancer to begin with.

What causes cancer?

In simple terms: Damage to our DNA which changes it from a mortal cell to an immortal cell.

What causes this Damage?

An acidic and inflamed environment in the body.

What causes this inflammation and acidity?

Bad Diet, Stress, environmental toxins.

Without further ado, let's get into some of these flavonoids but first we'll discuss some vitamins and antioxidants that are used for cancer prevention: vitamin C, Vitamin E and carotenoids. Many prevention studies show that they can prevent cancer from developing but not always, why?

These common antioxidants (vitamin C, E and carotenoids) CANNOT neutralize all free radicals (free radicals cause damage to DNA). While other antioxidants like flavonoids and glutathione CAN neutralize these free radicals.

When we consume isolated vitamins and antioxidants in processed pills, we are missing out on all of the other flavonoids we would be getting if we ate the whole food.

For this reason, it's important to eat the plant foods which contain all of these antioxidants and flavonoids. Eat as many different types of vegetables and fruit as possible. 

You can definitely take high quality herbal supplements for support, but the main focus should be on proper diet, which will alkalize the body and provide us with the tools to heal.

Note on Vitamin C: Personally, I don't think high dose vitamin C is good for the kidneys. For me it strains the kidneys, even in smaller doses. I prefer to get my vitamin C from real fruits such as grapefruits, oranges, etc.. I eat at least one citrus fruit per day for health. But in reality it should be much more if you're interested in cancer prevention.

Plant flavonoids can prevent cancer even in the face of strong carcinogens. in normal cells they protect against free radicals.

In cancer cells they inhibit cancer cell growth and even cause apoptosis.

Cancer fighting Flavonoids:

• Apigenin- (found in celery and parsley)
• kaempferol - founds in fruits and gingko biloba, and cistus tea. (For a high quality cistus tea click here or the product at the bottom).
• Quercetin- found in onions, teas apples.
• Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG- found in green tea Protects DNA from damage caused by piroxantrone- a free radical not killed by other vitamins. Green Tea also prevents leukemia cell growth. Opt for 3-5 cups of green tea per day - It's important to buy high quality tea grown in pesticide free soil as green tea absorbs toxins and heavy metals from the soil.

• Sylmarin- found in milk thistle- can also be effective against cancer.

These are just a few, there are many more that have cancer prevention properties.

Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, kale, cauliflower, beets, chives, and onions, have very strong protective properties.

A diet high in fruits and vegetables not only prevents but can also stop the growth of cancer that already exist.

Incorporate greens like dandelion greens, basil, cilantro, and kale. Avoid bananas and conventional apples preferably- as they are a little on the sweet side.
