MAUI- Anti-Cancerous Foods

Anti-Cancerous Foods to eat includes fibrous vegetables such as items related to the cabbage family, such as broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels Sprouts, kale, chard, Bok Choy, Napa Cabbage, and many other dark greens.


Our bodies are constantly in the midst of chemicals, in the water, in the air, in the soil, everywhere, and some of these chemicals are so destructive to our bodies, what can we do to prevent illness such as cancer? Cancer is a very brutal killer. I can think of too many people in my life that died from cancer, and family members who did battle cancer and survive, including myself.


In 1991 one of my favorite drummers in the rock band KISS died of heart cancer, Eric Carr was only 41 when he died, a gifted musician, and according to his family was one of the kindest persons around. Why did I mention Eric Carr? Because I love rock music and used to play the drums, so his life kind of intrigued me. Heart cancer of all things, what a dangerous organ to have a cyst. Eric had heart surgery, but apparently some of the cancer spread to his brain and he succumbed to it, and lost his life. What could have Eric done to prevent cancer? What could anyone do to prevent it?


According to many experts in the health and medical industry who broke away from the medical status quo, eating whole foods and eliminating lots of artificial additives can help to prevent cancer growth in our bodies. 


What causes cancer? I'll just list one artificial additive that causes cancer in lab rats, and because the study in Europe was conclusive, that this dye called Red 2G (aka E128) did give rats and mice cancerous tumors, it is of great concern that human beings are being sold these additives in the form of processed meats such as hot dogs, sausage, and even in drinks to give the products a nice fresh appearance. What causes cancer in rats and mice, can cause cancer in people.


Ian Tokelove of the pressure group the Food Commission, says that there is no need for this dye in foods to make it look fresher or appealing to the eye. "The dye is there to just disguise foods."


Many people including medical professionals are very skeptical in eating any processed foods containing Red 2G.


The best thing anyone can do is to stay away from any and all man made food ingredients says one health professional here on Maui who's wish is to remain anonymous. "I never eat any hot dogs or sausage with Red 2G, or any drinks or any product period that contains that. I've seen many people here on Maui die of cancer, and when I talked to them to find out what they have been eating, a lot of them ate a lot of processed foods, containing artificial dyes."


Another person who wished to remain unannounced said this in a recent talk, "For God to make man as a temple, to be a holy structure, to live clean and uncorrupted, ingesting this vicious cancer causing additive is a definite sin, I'm not religious, but if our bodies are temples, why offer our temples garbage? I ask you that, why?"


Harue sits at a local health food restaurant here on Maui, we sit and drink organic coffee, she  sweetens hers with organic agave nectar, and she uses organic cream, I do the same. She tells me that her diet is not one hundred percent vegan or vegetarian, that at times she does eat a free range chicken breast, or some local Ahi sashimi. She eats lots of cruciferous or vegetables from the cabbage family.


"The cancer preventing properties in cruciferous include isothiocynates, these things in simple terms breaks down carcinogens, that can cause cancer, so I eat a lot of foods from the cabbage family."


So in a very short concise lesson, stay away from Red 2G food colorings, and other man made additives in your food. Try to prevent it as best you can. Sure we have friends that smoke 2 packs a day and still live to be a hundred without getting lung cancer, just call them lucky, because I know a few people who developed lung cancer and doctors concluded it was the cigarettes that caused it. So stay off of stuff that are know to cause cancer, it is for your own good.


Steam your cruciferous and use organic dressings for it, good eat and live life to the fullest.
