Almost one year ago, America mourned as actor and heartthrob Patrick Swayze passed away at the hands of a silent killer. As you probably know, it wasn’t a crazed psychopath that stalked and finally claimed his life, but… it was a stalker all the same. By the time his killer was identified it was too late.

The overwhelming evidence is hundreds of effective alternative cancer treatments are out there. But here’s the rub. By the time a doctor has handed out a “terminal” diagnosis, even if they were inclined to prescribe them, only a precious few of these non-conventional treatments are strong enough to do any good. Nor is there enough time left to see any results that could occur.

Though most of you probably realize that diets high in sugar have been statistically shown to be bad for you and linked to serious conditions such as diabetes and heart problems; you may not know the hundreds of other conditions that may be at stake by choosing to indulge in sweets too often. Well, research has come up with one more . . . and it just happens to involve the “Big C.”
Are you getting enough calcium in your diet? If not, you might want to start – especially considering that new research indicates you can reduce your cancer risk by getting sufficient amounts of this essential nutrient. A recent study published in the
Archives of Internal Medicine indicated that women who had a higher intake of calcium had a lower risk of all types of cancer. The same study indicated that men and women who have high calcium levels have a lower risk of cancer of the digestive system, including colorectal cancer, which is one of the leading causes of death from cancer in the U.S.
A diagnosis of leukemia is a dreaded and frightening one. However, treatments have improved in recent years, and the prognosis for most patients is more hopeful than in the past. One possible treatment that’s been getting a lot of attention lately involves a compound contained in green tea.

So which types of cancer can you actively protect yourself against, and how? Keep reading to find out all the details. . .
Omega-3s have long been associated with a number of preventative and treatment-oriented conditions that persist in this world, with new studies coming out all the time to their positive effect.
