New research shows vitamin D slashes risk of cancers by 77 percent; cancer industry refuses to support cancer prevention

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts
Cures for cancer exist all around us: Sunlight, rainforest herbs, anti-cancer foods and superfoods, etc. The causes of cancer are well known: Toxic chemicals in foods, cosmetics, personal care products, home cleaning products, and so on. So why don't we, as a nation, take steps to outlaw the things that cause cancer while promoting the things that prevent cancer? The reason, once again, is because there's too much money at stake here. The corporations are in charge, and as long as they're running the show, cancer cures or prevention strategies that really work will simply not be tolerated.
Broccoli, garlic, onions and sprouts all have powerful anti-cancer effects, as do dozens of rainforest herbs (Cat's Claw, for example), Chinese herbs and Western herbs. But the FDA threatens and censors any company that dares to mention cancer prevention on its supplement products. Why is the FDA enforcing a policy of nutritional ignorance with U.S. consumers? Why does the federal government want people to remain ignorant of methods for preventing or treating cancer? You probably already know the answer to all these questions, because the answer is the same for each one: Corporate profits.

Canadian Cancer Society announces national program to prevent cancer using vitamin D

Add in green tea and some rainforest herbs, and this number leaps to around 90 percent, by the way.) Why wouldn't everyone in the cancer industry want to save 75% of these women from breast cancer? I'll tell you why, and you won't like the answer. It's because the cancer industry depends on all 100 of those women being diagnosed with cancer and treated with profitable cancer "management" protocols like chemotherapy, radiation and surgery. Preventing cancer in 75 percent of women (or more) would deny the cancer industry three-fourths of its revenue.

Doctors, American Medical Association hawked cigarettes as healthy for consumers

The cancer industry, similarly, is extremely dangerous to the health and safety of Americans thanks to its outright refusal to support anti-cancer nutrition (vitamin D, broccoli sprouts, spirulina, rainforest herbs, etc.) as well as its refusal to fight for the removal of toxic chemicals from consumer products and the workplace.

Why cancer comes back following chemotherapy, radiation or surgery

I could write an entire article just on that, but here's something to get you started on what to investigate: The best modalities for liver cleansing are, in my opinion, Traditional Chinese Medicine and rainforest herbs (Amazon herbs). I'll be writing a lot more about Amazon Herbs in the next day or two, so come back to read more about that if you want to learn about which herbs and herbal products are best at removing toxins from your liver (and restoring healthy liver function). In my opinion, there is no such thing as a cancer recovery without a healthy, functioning liver.

It's a very potent kidney stone treatment from the world of rainforest herbs, and you can find it through the Amazon Herb Company or another company called Raintree Nutrition (www.Rain-Tree.com), which sells a variety of rainforest herbs. I recommend both companies.

The Amazon Herb Company: An Independent Review

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts
What I found is a powerful system of medicine based on rainforest herbs that can literally reverse serious diseases like cancer, diabetes, heart disease, depression, joint inflammation and many more. Better yet, these herbs are naturally bio-compatible with the human body, meaning they have no negative side effects and operate at levels of safety that are orders of magnitude better than most prescription drugs. (They're also a whole lot more affordable than prescription medications...) Sound too good to be true? That's what I thought at first, too.
This is a company that harvests a wide assortment of rainforest herbs from indigenous tribes in the Amazon, then makes them available in various high-potency formulas to consumers in North America and around the world through a direct sales distribution model. In each of these three years, I've been increasingly impressed with this organization, and they've now reached a point in maturity and purpose where I think it's vital that I share the full story on the Amazon Herb Company with as many people as possible.

Prevent cancer in your own life by getting sunlight, eating lots of raw, fresh produce, taking superfood supplements (like spirulina, green tea and rainforest herbs) and engaging in regular exercise. Two of the best anti-cancer supplements I know of are Blood Support from www.BaselineNutritionals.com and Arcozon from the Amazon Herb Company: www.amazondreams.amazonherb.

But then I took the time to meet the people, research the rainforest herbs and experience their healing effects myself. Now I'm not only convinced this is the company that's going to pave the way to sustainable business practices in the coming years, I'm also convinced it represents the very best business opportunity available in the natural health industry today for anyone interested in an independent, at-home business where you control your own financial destiny. That's no casual claim, either.

Camu-Camu The Amazon rainforest produces a fruit that has more vitamin C than any other known plant in the world. Ounce for ounce, camu-camu has thirty times more vitamin C than an orange. This fruit is slightly bigger than a cherry and has a very sour taste. It grows wild in the swampy or flooded areas of the rainforest and is harvested from canoes. Some rainforest groups are investigating ways to cultivate camu-camu as a food crop. In Peru, it is made into drinks and ice cream.

A great rainforest herbal product that eases inflammation is Recovazon offered by the Amazon Herb Company. It eases inflammation and speeds injury recovery. I've personally used it to heal from sprains and bruises earned during gymnastics and martial arts. Chlorella: Japanese studies have found Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF) to be especially effective in speeding up cell growth, a major factor in the natural repair of wounds. Various other studies reveal CGF helps heal ulcers and promote bone and muscle growth. When taken internally, it also acts as an immune-booster.

Aeroponic optimizing chamber creates a near-perfect rainforest growing environment" = Roots hang in a tub of water. "Plant roots suspended in a 100% humidity, highly oxygenated aeroponic growing chamber" = Plant roots are hanging in a tub of water with a gap of air above the water. All Earth air is "oxygenated" otherwise we would all be dead. "NASA-tested aeroponic technology" - Maybe NASA tested the technology, but what were the results of those tests? They sure don't use these on the space shuttle. I don't know about you, but calling a plastic lid a "mini greenhouse" seems like a stretch.

One acre of rainforest contains more medicine than all the drug companies in the world, but those medicines are never promoted because they can't compete financially with patented synthetic chemicals. Take away the patents, and all medicine becomes open source. Suddenly real medicine is accessible and affordable to everyone. (It's far safer medicine, too. Herbs are orders of magnitude safer than prescription drugs.) And what about all those greedy corporations who would lose billions from lost revenues? Think about it: Pfizer, Monsanto, Merck, Eli Lilly...

Organic-rich soil of the Canadian Great Plains can be cultivated for more than fifty years before losing half its soil carbon, whereas Amazon rainforest soils can lose all agricultural potential in under five years. A twenty-four-year fertilization experiment in northwestern China found that soil fertility declined under chemical fertilizers unless coupled to addition of straw and manure. Nowhere is the debate over the appropriate application of technology more polarized than in the field of biotechnology.

In Peru, it has been used for this purpose for years in some rainforest tribes, but the amount of drug used would be considered very high. A decoction prepared from 11 to 13 pounds of the root is reduced to about 1 cup and taken at the time of menstruation. It is claimed that sterility can be maintained for 3 to 4 years after one dose (Cabieses, 1994). Contraceptive activity has been shown for Cat's Claw extract, dose and species unknown (Rizzi et al, 1993).

Does being near clear running streams, waterfalls, in a rainforest, by the seaside, out in the sun uplift and exhilarate you? Why? Again because there are lots of negative ions in the atmosphere! Fresh seaside and mountain air are rich in negative particles, whereas city air contains few ions and any negative ions that might be around are quickly destroyed by pollution, central heating, air conditioning, electrical appliances, synthetic fibres and dust.

I'd heard so much about its rainforest. I wondered if it, too, was the real thing. For the last hundred and fifty years, Costa Rica has suffered from deforestadon. By the late 1980s, the problem was really dramatic. Costa Rica, Latin America's oldest and longest-running democracy, was in trouble, with one of the highest rates of deforestation in the world. It was a catastrophe in the making.

DISTRIBUTION AND DIVERSITY OF THE HUMAN INTESTINAL MICROFLORA When the word ecosystem comes to mind, most people conjure up images of the rainforest with its myriads of animals, plants, and insects or the oceans teeming with fish, algae, and phytoplankton. Rarely do we think of the ecosystem on our body in the form of bacterial communities residing on the skin, oral cavity, genitals, and GI tract. On average, the human GI tract [i.e., small intestine and large intestine (colon)] is 27 feet long.

I didn't understand this dream until a couple of years later, when I was traveling with a group led by healer and teacher Rocio Alarcon in the rainforest of Ecuador. That evening the Chachi village had planned for three shamans to come and do healings for us. My daughter was chosen for one of the major healings. The shaman took out a goat horn and sucked on the back of her head at the base of her skull. He pulled out of the horn black stringy stuff that he then burned.

Unlike the Amazon forest, which covers a huge, flat basin until it rises into the eastern slopes of the Andes, the Queensland rainforest comprises hilly terrain - starting from the white sands fringing the ocean to heights of 1,500 metres or more in places. Many of the species which are unique to the area are found only above certain heights: there's a ring-tailed possum which is only found above 800 metres in altitude, and many birds, reptiles and frogs only live at the tops of mountains.

Dirt: The Erosion of Civilizations

As we drove through virgin rainforest, road cuts exposed soil one to several feet thick on the dissected slopes leading down to the deforested lowland. Leaving the jungle, we saw bare slopes that provided stark evidence that topsoil erosion following forest clearing led to abandoned farms. Around villages on the forest's edge, squattets farmed freshly cleared tracrs. Weathered rock exposed along the road poked out of what had until recently been soil-coveted slopes. The story was transparently simple.
Mitch was not the first storm to dump that much rain on Central America, but it was the first to fall on the region's steep slopes after the rainforest had been converted into open fields. As the population tripled after the Second World War, unbroken forest surrounding a few cleared fields was replaced by continuously farmed fields. Now, most of the four-fifths of the rural population farm tiny plots on sloping terrain practicing a small-scale version of conventional agriculture.
Pollen from a long core pulled from the bottom of La Yeguada's small lake in central Panama records that the rainforest was cleared for slash-and-burn agriculture between 7,000 and 4,000 years ago. Archaeological records from this period indicate considetable population growth as intensified agriculture stripped the forest from the lake's watershed. By the time of Christ, accelerated erosion in the foothills and uplands led to agricultural abandonment of the watershed.
The uppermost layers in the long sediment core revealed that the primeval rainforest actually dates from the time of the Spanish conquest, when the indigenous population of the area again declined dramatically—this time felled by disease. In the American Southwest, the spectacular ruins of Mesa Verde, Chaco Canyon, and Canyon de Chelly—all abandoned well before discovery by Euro-Americans—have long intrigued archaeologists. Berween about ad 1250 and 1400, the native Pueblo culture vanished from the Southwest.

The True History of Chocolate

In the usually well-tended groves, the litter and mess natural to the rainforest floor—leaf trash, dead animals, and rotten cacao pods—are absent. Yet this produces the perfect, moist, untidy environment which is the ideal breeding ground for the pollinating midges. Unbeknownst to the commercial planters, the trees which they have planted to shade the cacao are not there to protect T. cacao from the sun, but to maintain midge populations, if only poorly.
