One of the most exciting discoveries in the past 30 years was a simple supplement derived from broccoli sprouts. There are countless peer reviewed medical schools studies regarding the simple ingredient that is concentrated in the growing sprouts, vs the broccoli. The sprout has a particular ingredient that has proven benefits in blocking many types of cancer both in animals and in humans. The particular ingredient or class of compounds are called sulforafanes. “In 1992 Johns Hopkins scientists found a new and highly concentrated source of sulforaphane, that helps mobilize the body’s natural cancer-fighting resources and reduces the risk of developing cancer, Sep 19, 1997″ To be clear only a drug can cure a disease.

There are over 2200 articles on Pubmed.gov ( the National Institute of Health website). NIH or PubMed publishes research from medical schools from all over the world. All of the research here is peer reviewed research published in medical journals which you can read. I was inspired to write this after speaking to one of the leading legal minds in this country who has actually written many of our laws. Ironically, although technical, its not as bad as reading legal documents. Its not that complicated. Most of the studies state the intention, then there are pages of statistics and a conclusion. Rarely do we see such a large body of evidence all supporting the reduction of all kinds of cancer. Again I have to repeat my caveat from other posts. THE LAST THING I WANT YOU TO DO IS FOREGO SEEING YOUR Doctor, or seeking conventional care. Almost every cancer is curable if caught early enough. It can be deadly to ignore the options of conventional care. Sometimes the window for conventional care is extremely small. Certain cancers grow to advanced stages that are untreatable in a matter of months. If you healthy there are a lot of supplements besides vitamin C that you can take now to reduce your risk of ever having to make the life and death decision about a disease as deadly as cancer in the future. Another caveat, you can only take most of these vitamins and supplements now, while you are healthy. Dont think for a minute that if you get sick thats when you will take them. Because the situation is exactly the opposite. Many vitamins enhance your body’s ability to “flush” your liver. So while your body is healthy eliminating the few cells that might be “errant” in your system and making your immune system’s job easier, all is great and you are helping your body do its job. However if you get sick and need to take a life saving drug, you absolutely can not take any supplements. The same process that would be eliminating toxins and “bad cells” would be flushing the life saving drug out of your body so it would not be able to help you. So sorry to be repetitive but we are talking life and death. Seek the advice and opinion of your doctor. If you really want to go “au natural” find a DOCTOR who is “complementary” or “alternative” or “integrative”. That would be a medical doctor or MD who know when you can still use vitamins or supplements for your care. You can not know when or what you can use if you are sick. A complementary doctor might give you a schedule when you can take certain vitamins or supplements that doesnt interfere with your conventional care. Sorry this is such a long post but it is vital that you understand when you can take advanatage of all the wonderful supplements or ‘Nutraceuticals” that are available to you. PS a nutraceutical is a nutrient that is as powerful as a pharmaceutical. Ready for you first test drive ? Read all about sulforaphanes here at pubmed. Sulforafanes. Once again to be repetitive only a drug can cure a disease. More on that in the next post
