Studies suggest that a natural anti-oxidant diet rich in fresh fruit and vegetables protects from the risk of most common epithelial cancers, including those of the digestive tract, and also several nondigestive neoplasms. This may have implications for both primary prevention of Cancer AND getting you on track for what is perhaps a scientifically sound strategy to prevent recurrence!

Cannabidiol, or CBD, could develop into a non-toxic alternative to

The Glycemic Index is recognized by the World Health Organization and it measures the quality of carbohydrates and their impact on your blood sugar levels. Carbohydrates that break down slowly, encouraging stable blood sugar levels, rate well or "low" on the Glycemic Index, versus those that rate higher because they break down too quickly and cause your insulin levels to spike and your body to store fat while also leaving you hungry soon after a meal. It's the difference between "good" carbs and "bad" carbs. Recent medical publications support the idea that a high glycemic index diet increases risk for at least endometrial, ovarian and colorectal cancers. Is monitoring your diet for Low Glycemic Index important during treatment as well?
