Cancer is a fascinating phenomenon. It borrows its disturbing intelligence from our vital functions to corrupt them and turn them against themselves. Studies have revealed how this corruption operates. Whether it’s generating inflammation or fabricating blood vessels, cancer imitates our basic aptitude for regeneration. But the facts bear out a conclusion: Everything that strengthens our immune cells impedes the growth of cancers. All in all, by stimulating our immune cells, fighting inflammation (with nutrition, physical exercise and emotional balance) and opposing angiogenesis—the development of new blood vessels—we can undercut cancer’s spread.
Can we prevent cancer?
