Skin Cancer – Melanoma

Curcumin – A plant pigment that gives turmeric its bright yellow shade, curcumin has been praised for its healing qualities for centuries in Asia. Laboratory tests have shown the ingredient to be able to induce self-destruction of melanoma skin cancer cells, and it can also act as a potent antioxidant and may prevent nitrosamine formation and inhibit aflatoxin production – two processes associated with an increased cancer risk.

Carotenoids – Eat a diet rich in foods that deliver carotenoids; you can find the ingredient in red, orange and green vegetables and it can significantly increase sunburn protection. Try fruits and vegetables such as carrots, cantaloupe, sweet potato, tomatoes, kale, spinach and collard greens as a diet rich in carotenoids may help protect the skin against harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun.

Avoid Too Much Protein – Scottish doctor John Beard discovered the body’s primary defence against proliferating cancer cells is pancreatin – a mix of enzymes which also aid in the digestion of proteins. Diets rich in protein force pancreatic enzymes to focus on the digestion of protein rather than on the eradication of cancer. While a certain amount of protein is necessary for the proper functioning of the body, excessive amounts should be avoided to reduce your skin cancer risk.

Cut Down on Alcohol – Frequent intake of alcohol has been linked with an increased risk of several types of cancer, including melanoma. It’s believed that as alcohol is converted into acetaldehyde in the body — a chemical that also causes hangovers — and that this chemical induces DNA damage which can lead to skin cancer. The higher and the more frequent the intake of alcohol, the higher the risk of cancer, but be aware that it’s believed even small amounts of alcohol can increase the risk of cancer

Enjoy Raspberries –  Ellagic acid has shown to be useful in the battle against skin cancer. According to research, ellagic acid is capable of clearing carcinogenic substances by activating detoxifying enzymes in the liver. Ellagic acid, found in raspberries, has also been shown to boost the immune system, to induce normal self-destruction of cancerous cells, and destroy skin cancer causing free radicals.

Reduce Intake of Fat – A high dietary intake of animal fat has been associated with an increased risk of cancer. One particular compound that seems to play a major role in this context is arachidonic acid, found in fatty red meats, egg yolks and organ meats. This omega-6 fatty acid has been shown to enhance cancer growth and to facilitate its spread within the body

It is important to not add further toxicity to your system so try to adhere to the following:

• Do not consume any artificial sweeteners, such as Splenda, NutraSweet or Aspartame

• Do not consume high fructose corn syrup or mono-sodium glutamate.

• Do not drink any carbonated beverages.

• Eliminate conventional dairy products.  The best dairy products are raw, unpasteurised and homogenised dairy from grass fed cows.  If this is unavailable, then buy organic dairy.

• Avoid conventional beef.  The best beef is organic grass fed beef. www.grasslandbeef.com/StoreFront.bok?affld=104400  The second best is organic meat; this includes beef, veal, lamb, chicken and turkey.

Supplements:

Research suggests that a sufficient, long-term intake of vitamin C and vitamin E can reduce the sunburn reaction to UVB irradiation, thereby contributing to a lowered risk of skin cancer.

Vitamin A is also believed to be effective at treating melanoma skin cancer, as reported in this article.

• Take Vitamin D3 50,000-100,000 International Units a day for periods of 4 weeks at a time.
• Wholefood supplements are the best way of ensuring your nutritional needs are met.  The best we know on the market is Kevin Trudeau’s “KT Daily” product.  You can find more details here kevintrudeaudailylifesessentials.com/
