While it is not possible to control all of the factors that contribute to the development of breast cancer such as age, genetics, and being female, it is possible to make choices that will put you at a much lower risk of developing the disease down the road.

To address this question, it is necessary to understand what cancer is and how it develops in the body. This disease begins with only one abnormal cell that at some point begins to mutate and then quickly multiplies until it is out of control. We all have cancer cells in our bodies, but [...]

Fibre’s role in the body is to assist in the timely expulsion of waste matter from the bowel. If this waste matter stays put for too long, the body starts to reabsorb the antigens and toxins from the bowel bacteria through the [...]

This is an exciting time in cancer research. Recent information on angiogenesis — the growth of new blood vessels — is providing researchers opportunities to find new ways to slow or stop a tumor’s growth by cutting off the blood supply it needs.

Angiogenesis performs a critical role in the development of cancer. To grow, solid [...]
