3 main causes of cancer

1. Diet & Lifestyle

  • animal proteins / hormones eg. meat, seafood
  • hormones secreted by the body due to stress
  • chemicals eg. food colouring, preservatives, MSG etc
     ~ disease-fighting nutrients - phytochemicals
        1.inhibit growth of new blood vessels in cancer cells
        2. block process that leads to cancer and may reverse or halt progression of cancer at               any stage
        3. neutralise cancer-causing hormones and hence inhibit cancer

     + beneficial plant source - cactus contains more than 10,000 phytochemicals
        1. strengthens immune system to defend against various bacterial and viral attacks
        2. able to neutralise hormones and reduce risk of cancer
        3. stimulates strong immune defense against tumor
        4. speeds up wound healing and prevents unsightly scars

 2. Free Radicals
       eg. polluted air, cooking fumes, cigarette smoke, high heat cooking, sun's UV rays,                       body's metabolic processes etc
  • free radicals interfere with the stability of a cell's DNA causing damage that may lead to cancer which cannot be picked up by doctors until they multiply many many folds
     ~ disease-fighting nutrients - antioxidants
        1. prevent free radicals from causing mutation of cell DNA
        2. inhibit the aging of organs through oxidation
        3. promote cellular repair

     + beneficial plant source - varieties of organic plant foods which contain high levels of   
        antioxidants that are up to 20-50 times more than vitamins
        1. high levels of antioxidants can enhance the body's ability to produce collagen,    
            protect cells from turning malignant when attacked by free radicals
        2. balance one's immune system
        3. protect organs thus promote longevity


3. Environment

  • radiation eg. mobile phones, computers, household appliances etc
  • viruses eg. Hepatitis B virus causes liver cancer, Human Papilloma virus causes cervical cancer etc
  • cancer-causing agent in toiletries & household products eg. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) used in hair dye, shampoo etc
     ~ disease-fighting nutrients - polysaccharides
        1. increase the production of natural killer cells, interferon, interleukin, to destroy
            existing cancer cells and viruses
        2. increase natural killer cells activities by 38 to 49 folds
        3. prevent healthy cells or benign tumors from becoming malignant

     + beneficial plant source - varieties of mushrooms
        1. Shiitake: Lentinan enhance natural killer cell activities to destroy cancer cells & 
            viruses

HFMD

It is a common case for children to catch HFMD virus from childcare - this is more frequent if the school is air-conditioned. I am actually quite prepared that my girl will catch this virus one day but when she caught the virus 2 weeks ago, it was devastating as her mouth is full of ulcer, the only symptom she has, which made her refuse to take any solid or liquid. But out of my surprise, within 2 days or so, she can eat and drink well & by the third day, she no longer complaint about her mouth being pained. At first, all of us thought that she might be heaty that caused her mouth to be full of ulcer until my husband was certified that he had HFMD - it must be spread to him when he took care of my girl on the second day after she was ill. It took my husband about 10 days to recover. I questioned myself: Why my girl recovered so fast while it took my husband so long? One of the possibility is that I give my girl E. Excel products almost everyday prior to her illness that have even...

Do we ever wonder if it is possible for us to live over 100 years old?

It is actually not a wishful thinking to live over 100 years old. There were about 58,820 centenarians (people who are 100 years old or older) in Japan in 2014. According to a U.S. Census Bureau report released in 2014, there were about 55,000 centenarians in the U.S. In today's society, how many people really die of old age? Many people actually die from diseases, such as cancer, heart disease & diabetes, instead of old age hence to live more than 100 years old, the key is in disease prevention . Eating a balanced diet, exercising moderately, keeping a positive outlook on life & building a solid foundation for one's health from an early age can help in the defense against diseases & increase the possibility of living healthily for more than 100 years old.
