Recent Studies Reveal that Pancreatic Cancer is a Lifestyle Issue, Developing in the Body Over Decades!

On October 29, 2010 Natural News published an extensive essay about the findings of clinical researchers using DNA sequencing of cancer cells to prove that pancreatic cancer takes 20 years to grow to the point where it can be diagnosed by conventional medical doctors.

Scientists at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute found:

• It takes 11.7 years for one mutation in a pancreas cell to grow into a “mature” pancreatic tumor (which might show up on a medical scan).
• It takes another 6.8 years for the pancreatic tumor to spread and cause tumors to appear in other organs of the body.

“In all, it takes about 20 years for a person to grow a cancer tumor and see it spread to the point where their doctor will diagnose them with pancreatic cancer. In other words, by the time doctors diagnose you with cancer, you’ve already been growing it for two decades,” Natural News editor and publisher Mike Adamsreports.

It was not that long ago that actorPatrick Swayze lost his battle with the disease. But these recent findings show that people like Swayze who appear to be suddenly hit with a random and very aggressive outbreak of cancer have actually been growing it steadily for a couple of decades!

“When cancer doctors diagnose you with pancreatic cancer and say things like, ‘Good thing we caught it early!’ they are full of bunk yet again,” says Mike Adams. “They didn’t catch it early – they caught it late! Almost 20 years too late.”

What it means… Pancreatic Cancer is a lifestyle issue!

In order to foster the growth of cancer cells for 20 years you need to feed developing tumors with lots of refined sugar and it helps to be deficient in vitamin D – because vitamin D halts the growth of 77% of all cancers. Avoid the intake of other healthy nutrients like selenium and other beneficial anti-cancer nutrients including fresh vegetable juice (on a daily basis), omega-3 fatty acids, a wide variety of fresh fruits (including citrus and berries) and avoid drinking red wine (rich withresveratrol).

Adams encourages people who wish to avoid creating a cancer-friendly internal environment to “…pursue a more alkaline diet that’s rich in vegetables and green foods rather than acidic substances such as sugar, fried foods and caffeine. Combine all this with some regular exercise, good sleep, stress reduction habits and strict avoidance of cancer-causing chemicals, and you’ve got a recipe for blocking virtually all tumor growth in your body.”

Since it has now been proven that pancreatic cancer takes two decades to develop inside your body, you have time to reverse the effects of an unhealthy lifestyle and and stop the growth of cancer tumors in your body. Just like cancers caused by the use of tobacco and smoking… all you have to do is quit to see an immediate risk reduction.

Start by reducing the intake of refined sugars – switching from sodas to water. Begin a plan to consume anti-cancer nutrients on a daily basis.

“Even a small amount of fresh kale, cabbage or broccoli juice (just one ounce) taken every day will have a powerful anti-cancer effect and may halt tumor growth in your body,” says Adams. “But just to be sure, blend and drink fresh citrus fruits, organic berries, and microalgae supplements on a regular basis. ”

Adams also advises readers to “avoid all synthetic chemicals: Do not take pharmaceuticals; do not use conventional perfumes, skin lotions, shampoos or other personal care products; do not use conventional laundry detergents (they’re filled with cancer-causing fragrance chemicals); do not use anti-bacterial soaps; do not cook on nonstick cookware; do not drink fluoride in your water… basically just get all the toxic chemicals out of your house and out of your life.”

In remembrance of Brian Nasi

Part of the letter from Norene Nasi Gilbertson:

"My brother Brian Nasi died from a sudden heart attack. Brian had no intention of leaving us at 54 years of age. He always said, Someday I will quit smoking. Someday I will eat chicken and fish instead of red meat. Someday I will begin a regular exercise routine. Someday I will take better care of myself.

Someday never came for Brian but it can come for you. He always used to say that he 'didn't want to live longer than all my friends' but I know he didn't plan on being the first to go."

Mother's Day weekend is the annual Brian Nasi Memorial Heart Walk/Run in Hurley, Wis. The mission of this event is to encourage people of all ages to get and be active - no matter what your current habits are.

This is a new blog dedicated to educating, communicating and generally here for the Nasi family and those close to them. Please add your history, meds, diet or anything you want to pass to the Nasi family and future generations.

This all started with our Grandfather, who moved from Finland for a new life in America and ended up dying of a massive heart attack at the young age of 40. He left a family behind with Ero, the oldest boy in his teens, left to build a home for his mother and family.
George, the youngest, was 3 years old. There has been much heart disease in the family, affecting not only the men, but Ella as well.

Top 10 Amazing Facts About Your Heart : Number 7

A seemingly sheepish look from Fido or that endearing brush-by from your cat can make you wonder if your pet could possibly communicate with you. A recent study adds equine friends to the list of emotionally-responsive animals. A scientist found that horse's heart rates mirror those of human subjects touching them. The horse emotion-detector could someday replace procedures used to measure a patient's stress hormones. Next, the researcher will study service dogs to better match them with humans.

So, basically, Nasi family, buy a horse! It'll help your heart. I know horses have helped mine! Joey seems to be helping Hayden's heart in the above photo.
