There is nothing that illustrates the power of the mind-body connection more convincingly than the “placebo effect”, a phenomenon where real improvement is evident after taking a fake or nonexistent treatment, called a placebo. Because the placebo can’t actually cure a particular condition, any beneficial effects reported are due to a person’s belief or expectation…
How often do you think someone diagnosed with cancer has heard these words from their oncologist?…….“Fortunately, there is a combination of medicinal plant extracts that have been clinically proven to kill cancer, and they have no adverse side effects.” Wait, what?? Two botanicals, which I’d bet you’ve never heard of, have undergone extensive, successful clinical…
Generally demonized as producing all kinds of unwanted health outcomes, natural soy is, in fact, another amazing weapon in the arsenal against cancer. As part of my personal holistic healing journey from a terminal diagnosis, I kept running across anecdotal references to soy having substantial anti-cancer properties.

Cancer is a metabolic disease, not genetic. As such, its prevention, treatment and cure are all influenced greatly by lifestyle and environment (epigenetics). One of the most significant of these influences is nutrition, a daily lifestyle choice over which each of us has material control. Getting the right foods that both boost immunity and fight…
