New Science to Rebalance Your Body, Reverse Aging, and Prevent Disease
by Ross Bridgeford

The Alkaline Life, is a compliments all of the other books that I have reviewed that go extensively into the importance of diet to balancing, combating and curing many illnesses and diseases including cancer.

In this book, the author discuses the differences between alkaline and acid diets and describes clearing the difference food choices and how they affect our bodies.  All of this relating to lifestyle changes, which again, is what all of these books promote. The last chapters in this book give good references for ideal foods, diets, daily menu plans and shopping lists.

The author outlines the basic principles for living a long-term alkaline lifestyle and targeting specific health issues such as chronic fatigue, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, autoimmune conditions, thyroid healing, and immunity building recommendations.

For me, the most powerful chapter is the one on “Addressing Cancer” where he states:  “The role of acidity in cancer risk is significant, and addressing this can bring huge hope. …What I want to do over the next few pages is give you the big-picture role of diet-induced acidosis in cancer risk and the confidence to know that by following the Alkaline Life Plan, you can greatly reduce it.

For me, personally, this book made me really get serious about my lifestyle, food, diet and my own battle against cancer.

When I was diagnosed with cancer; one of the things that I heard over and over again, was that cancer cannot survive in an alkaline environment. Okay, my internet research was confirming this statement.  Now, I was faced with how to incorporate an alkaline environment into my everyday routine and diet.  When you ask a question, the answer will present itself.

I was presented with the opportunity to purchase an alkaline water machine.  But before doing so, I wanted to know more facts, which lead me to this book.  It is a great, quick read on alkaline water and it most definitely will sell you on purchasing one of these devices.

Here is an excerpt from the book:

“The main finding in this study is that consumption of AIW (Alkaline Ionized Water) supported a superior physiological response to the exercise challenge than tap water.  In particular, the objective measures pertaining to the statistically significant increase in red blood cell hemaglobin and hematocrit translated to an increase in the blood’s oxygen-carrying capacity.

The second finding was reduced levels of inflammatory cells in the blood after consuming AIW, compared to tap water.”

A New Way of Living
by Ian Gawler

Ian Gawler was a young practising veterinarian living in Australia.  In 1975 he was diagnosed with bone cancer and had his right leg amputated at the hip.  He underwent an intensive series of cancer treatments and then went off to India and China to master meditation and mindfulness which he says is one of the key factors along with diet, exercise and healthy lifestyle changes to conquering cancer.

Gawler gives guidance about  treatment options, meditation as a tool for healing and cancer fighting nutrition, food and diet.  He gives explanations about the difference between a wellness diet and the healing diet.

Gawler emphasizes the power of the mind throughout this book.  The importance of family, social support and the spiritual dimension of life.  This book is a unique guide to help people overcome the difficult challenges that they have to face with their cancer diagnosis.

As one book reviewer states:

"Regardless of religious beliefs or life situations, any reader would benefit from the Mindfulness-Based Stillness Meditation (MBSM) techniques clearly outlined here. There are many user-friendly books that teach basic meditation, but this edition is particularly unique in its authors’ life stories and expertise in the mind-body connection. … in India learning from masters at a Tibetan monastery, and Gawler, diagnosed with swiftly fatal osteogenic sarcoma at the age of 24, overcame his painful disease through meditation and lifestyle change and has remained cancer-free since 1978."-- Kirkus Review

A New Way of Life
by David Servan-Schreiber, M.D., Ph.D.

This is a good book that covers a lot of research and gives examples of patients, their journey through cancer and why they survived beyond medical expectations.

After being diagnosed with cancer and given a short period of time to live, the author changed many things in his life from diet and purchasing quality foods to meditation and mindfulness.  As a medical practitioner, he has access to an incredible data base of case studies which he shares in this book.  As quoted from the back cover of the book…

“Meticulously researched and easy to read…An absolutely indispensable guide for cancer survivors and anyone who wants to adopt healthy lifestyles in order to prevent cancer.” – Dr. Richard Beliveau

“AntiCancer fills an important gap in our knowledge of how patients can contribute to their own care by supplementing conventional medial treatment.” – John Mendelsohn M.D.

This author really digs into the “mind over matter” scenario and how the power of the mind has the power to heal our bodies.

One of the case studies that the author highlights in this book is that of Ian Gawler, an Australian vet who was diagnosed with a rare bone cancer and given weeks to live, and who underwent a whole leg amputation.  Ian Gawler has gone on to survive 30+ years and has written a number of books, including the one that I will be referencing on this website called, “You Can conquer Cancer.”

I divinity recommend this book, especially to anyone in the medical profession that is helping patients to survive their cancer diagnosis.

Dr. Zach Bush MD joined us on today’s show to talk about gut health, cancer, our microbiome and how we can become more connected in order to not just improve our health but improve our lives.

Dr. Zach Bush is the founder and CEO of IonBiome which has a number of products definitely worth checking into.

We started off talking about cancer, apoptosis and how vitamin A can help cancer cells enter into apoptosis so that they don’t continue to replicate.

Then we talked about cancer and how cancer is the great disease of our time. Cancer rates have risen so high in the last 100 years that it almost defies logic.

The “war on cancer” has been a monumental failure and it’s time we stop allowing the drug companies to dominate media so people are no longer programmed to think that chemotherapy, radiation and surgery are the only answers to this most dreaded disease.

Later on in the show we talked about bacteria, gut health and the role that the microbiome plays in our health and our lives.

Instead of killing bacteria and fearing germs, we need to work with these organisms in order to improve our health. Again a lack of connection is to blame for our war against bacteria whether it’s through media or just antibiotics.

Dr. Zach Bush was a wonderful guest who provides a lot of cutting edge research and knowledge into deep aspects of health. I hope you enjoyed this radio show interview with him.

If you did, please share this podcast with your friends! 🙂

Dr. Zach Bush doesn't keep his ideas in a neat ideological box. Instead, paints a sweeping picture of our interconnected world — one in which topics such as regenerative farming, bio-engineering, government policy, and the human microbiome are all intimately linked. And while he candidly points out missteps at many levels, he also offers a hopeful vision for humanity.

Podcast with Jeff Krasno

By Cynthia Olsen

I have known about Essiac for many, many years.  I actually attended a workshop with an Ojibway elder who talked about their medicines that had been passed down from generation to generation and how they cured and alleviated symptoms of numerous illnesses.  Part two of this workshop was to make our own brew.  Little did I know, most of the ingredients were similar to those contained in Essiac.  I am now taking Essiac on a daily basis as part of my cancer regime.

This book gives a complete account of the recipe, the doses and of Essiac's uses.  The book tells of experience of patients who have attained relief or regeneration from this remarkable herbal preparation.

History of Essiac:

In 1922, Rene Caisse, a Canadian nurse, made a discover that would change her life and the course of cancer therapy.  Caisse received the formula for an herbal remedy through a patient who had been successfully treated for breast cancer by a Native American medicine man.  With this remedy, which she called Essiac, Caisse would go on to treat thousands of patients at an incredible recovery rate of 80%.

The surprising new science of uric acid—the key to losing weight, controlling blood sugar and achieving extraordinary health

by David Perlmutter, M.D.

What do obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes, fatty liver disease, hypertension, cardiovascular disease; stroke, neurological disorders and premature death have in common? All can be stoked by high uric acid levels.

Today’s scientific literature is bursting with evidence that elevated uric acid levels lie at the root of many pervasive health conditions, but mainstream medicine for the most part remains unaware of this connection. This is especially alarming because many people don't know they are suffering from sky-high levels, putting them at risk for developing or exacerbating potentially life-threatening illnesses.

David Perlmutter offers a blend of science and practical advice, Drop Acid exposes the deadly truth about uric acid and teaches invaluable strategies to manage its levels, including:

• Simple dietary edits focused on reducing fructose and foods high in 'purines' that can raise uric acid.
• Natural hacks that lower levels such as consuming tart cherries, vitamin C, quercetin, and coffee.
• Identifying common pharmaceuticals that threaten to increase uric acid.
• Lifestyle interventions, like restorative sleep and exercise.
• How to easily test your uric acid levels at home - a test routinely performed in your doctor's office during regular check-ups but typically ignored.

The author introduces his ground-breaking 'LUV' (Lower Uric Values) diet, 35 delicious recipes, self-assessment quizzes and a 21 day program for dropping levels, Drop Acid empowers readers with the information they need to address this hidden danger and live longer, leaner and healthier lives.
