On Cancer, Part II: Prevention

Second in my cancer series.

No gruesome pictures here, and no prevention tips either, not in the video. The subject is too large to fit into a 10-minute video. Instead, I've provided some information on slides to remind you of the scope of the cancer plague in the USA. My *real* tips for cancer prevention can be found in this text blog:

Warning: it's pretty long. If you go there with 5 minutes to spend, you'll come away frustrated.

Comments on the text blog are welcome.

Statistics in this video are from http://www.cancer.org/downloads/STT/CAFF2006PWSecured.pdf.

[UPDATE, June 5, 2007: I've just learned this link to stats is now defunct. I don't have another source to point to at present, sorry.]

I'm really scared...i wish i could do something to help the prevention of cancer

[Urgelt]

There is a lot more than cancer to fear, Guns. We're mortal, and sooner or later, something will end our lives.

We'd rather for it to be later, most of us. So it makes sense do do what we can to minimize our risks. The link I provided in the text box of this video may help with that. (You have to click the box open to find it.)

But it's also a good idea to be philosophical about the coming end of your life. It will happen. Make the most of the time you have.

Hi Urgelt,I have enjoyed watching your vidios. here is a vidio I thought you might be interested in watching.Its called "run from the cure.The Rick Simpson story" My younger sister died a few years ago from oral cancer[healthy lifestyle]at the age of 30 and Im always searching for answers.

[Urgelt]

Thank you for the reference, 4evasugarfree.

I'm sorry to hear about your sister, and I understand your need for answers.

The Rick Simpson story is anecdotal; anecdotes are not proof.

If THC (or something else in hemp oil) does cure one or more forms of cancer, clinical studies will show it, and we'll learn what we need to know about dosage and side-effects.

For what it's worth, I think clinical studies for hemp oil and THC are a good idea. We should leave no stone unturned.

@Urgelt Thanks

Urgelt,i think im speaking in the name of all the youtube community if i say that you are doing a great job esspecially answering most of the viewers questions is great !!

Clinical studies only serve to protect the pharma companies income...

You know that by now....

Although the average human being has no right to say what works and what dosent,, We still have the ability of trial and error..

Happily , In the herbal world,, Errors have little consequence as a rule.

Hemp has had its human trials and deemed to be safe so i would try it without hesitation..

Apricot Kernels althugh are more targeted to cancer according to trials....

Hi Urgelt,

Maybe you should give a talk on why power breeds corruption and not altruistic actions as it is meant to do! Why wealthy people yearn for more wealth and do bad things to get it?

My mother died of cancer, my brother has cancer, both in the throat.

Myself, I would not like to contract cancer. Living until 95yrs is not too much to ask surely?? (joke)

Aside from advising you to avoid overconsumption of daily calories, I'd say it's not a problem.

I'd worry less about olive oil (but choose virgin!) than about the other oils you are consuming in other foods. I don't think the body has a nutritional need for corn oil, canola oil, soybean oil, and most of the other unsaturated oils. Olive oil is healthy, and you do need some saturated fats (I get mine from coconut oil, nuts, and cheese).

For the broccoli salad, one tablespoon of olive oil seems a bit stingy. In my family we tend to slather it on a bit more. is that a recommended serving?
