 Is it possible to fight cancer with cancer ? if your answer is No, then do you think is possible to fight cancer with chemotherapy (chemotherapy kills both good and bad cells during cancer treatment. chemotherapy is a cytotoxic drug; the Oncologist's idea is to use chemotherapy as a main means for lowering the multiplication of cancer cells or to destroy them altogether. It would be ideal if a drug being administered spared healthy cells while destroying the deadly ones; however, nearly every cancer chemotherapeutic agent destroys the cancerous cells along with DNA and healthy tissue cells pathological or physiological). Do you believe that what you eat and what's on your dinner and breakfast menu can dramatically increase or reduce your risk for cancer and many other disease. choose to quit toxic habits, be practical, live well by making some kind of peace with the situations in your life---you know you can't make a horse drink from the stream, reduce the stress in your life, balance it out----keep on moving with your goals, eat whole foods-----you will be happy you did.

Benefits of fruit juices--Juicing

Fruit and vegetables are excellent sources of vitamins, minerals, enzymes and other nutrients, including phyto-chemical compounds that have been shown to combat cancer and aging. Because healthy substances found naturally in fruits and vegetables are not all present in supplemental pills it is advised you eat plentiful amounts of fruits and vegetables. If you have a dislike for raw vegetables and fruits but would rather prefer juices--- juicing is an excellent way to add fruits and vegetables to your diet. Most people enjoy commercial juices for its flavor and nutritional advantages however; it comes with some disadvantages you should know:

 There is evidence that commercial juices have caused a few food borne outbreaks and unpasteurized juices can also serve as a vehicle for food borne illnesses.

Vitamin C and other water-soluble vitamins can be damaged by over processing or overcooking and most commercial juices are heat treated to lengthen shelf life but in turn does destroy important nutrients, even raw fresh made juices can lose some of their nutrients if allowed to sit for a long period of time.

Preservatives are sometimes added to most commercial juices plus high amounts of refined sugar.

Most commercial juices contains the whole fruits and vegetables except the fiber which is the indigestible part of the plant containing most of the plants health promoting components so therefore buying the best organic produce, properly preparing it for juicing, processing it in your own juicer—made fresh in your kitchen and consumed immediately is the most healthy way to enjoy nutrient-rich juices. Fresh juices provide all of the plants healthful ingredients in a form that is easy to digest and absorb. It is estimated that fruits and vegetables juices can be assimilated in twenty to thirty minutes.

                                                  Benefits of fruit juices

Fruit juices help cleanse the body and nourish it with important nutrients, including cancer fighting antioxidants. Any fruit can be juiced however some fruits are best for juicing more delicious juices.

Water melon is a cleansing fruit that can be juiced by placing a whole piece of watermelon with the body intact into the juicer—juice away—now you have a refreshing water melon cleanse juice. You can enjoy this refreshing fruit juices chilled or at room temperature. 10 to 12 ounces per daily is recommended. Apples, apricots, bananas, berries, pears, melons, pineapple, guava, citrus fruits like oranges, lemon, lime etc, can be juiced.  Also, you can welcome a guest with a fresh glass of refreshing fruit juices.

A few tips for preparing produce for juicing

• Whenever possible, buy and use organically grown produce---produce that is grown without the use of pesticides and other harmful chemicals. This prevents chemical residues from ending up in your juice.
• If you are unable to obtain organically grown fruits and vegetables, peel or wash the produce thoroughly, using a vegetable brush to remove chemical residues and waxes. Most health food stores carry vegetable cleaners that will help remove any residues.
• When using organically grown produce, feel free to leave the skin on in most cases. Do remove the skin, though, before juicing apricots, grapefruits, kiwis, oranges, papayas, peaches, and pineapples. The skin of oranges and grapefruits are quite bitter, and also contain a toxic substance that should not be consumed in large amounts. Because kiwis and papayas are tropical fruits, their skin may contain spray residues of pesticides used during cultivation that are harmful. Pineapple skin is not to be juiced, always peel pineapple because the skin is too thick to be processed by most juicers.
• When juicing fruits, leave in small seeds, except when using apples. Apple seeds actually contain cyanide, a toxic substance and because of their size and hardness, all pitts must be removed.
• Juices are best when stems of leaves of fruits or vegetables are left intact. However, remove carrot and rhubarb greens, as they contain toxic substances.
• When using soft fruits such as avocados, bananas, papayas that contain very little water puree the fruits in a blender rather than using a juicer. Then stir the puree into other juices.
• Remember to use different types of vegetables and fruits to get a variety of nutrients.

Food item that is best bought organic

When buying organic, what's best bought organic?

Considering that organic produce and products cost more than the conventional goods in the market. It’s wise to be selective when shopping if you are working with a tight budget. For example, if you like organic stuff but can't afford to buy organic clothing and organic vegetables at the same time, it would be wise to choose organic vegetables over organic clothing. According to consumers union and the environmental working group, one way to buy will be to buy only organic produce instead of non-organic for those foods where the non-organic options have been proven to have the highest pesticide levels. Although there is no evidence that fruits and vegetables with higher residue pose a hazard, selecting the organic versions of these is logical and wise.

Checklist, Choose organic versions for these fruits:

nectarines

• Peaches

You don’t have to buy organic fruit drink such as orange juice, apple juice, canned peaches, peas and corns when you can buy raw fruits and juice it using As seen on Tv Nutribullet. 



Processed concentrate Juice tend to have lower level of these residues but this does not mean that it is the healthiest choice.

Egg lovers- buy organic eggs because the hen are treated better and no growth hormones, pesticides or antibiotics.

If you are worried about toxic residues and growth hormones in meat or milk your best alternative will be to go with fake vegetarian meat and plant-based Non-GMO milk).

Our vegan quote:You have never eaten or tasted the life of food until you go vegetarian, then you will taste and smell the sweet nurturing flavor in vegetables & fruits. You never truly appreciate the intelligence of animals till you go vegan ! We love it.
