5 Natural Ways To Prevent Cancer
By Cory Couillard. Posted on .
Unfortunately, industrialization has replaced farms with “confined animal feeding operations” that promote faster production of cattle and other food animals. The animals in these feeding operations are often fed chemically sprayed grains and are injected full of antibiotics to counteract unsanitary living conditions. The cattle get sicker, but the meat still goes to market. Labels such as “grass-fed” or “free range” denote proper feeding and natural growth, rather than toxic meat. Grass-fed beef provides high quality healthy fats with low toxin accumulation.

Bad: Any with fluoride
Fluoride is the reason for the poison warning on toothpaste tubes. Toothpastes containing fluoride can actually cause discoloration of your teeth, may contribute to periodontal bone loss and may contribute to bone cancer.
Better: Organic toothpaste
For the same price as toothpaste containing fluoride, you can purchase a healthier organic option. Organic toothpaste does not contain artificial chemicals that can be absorbed or inhaled. This prevents harmful toxins from invading your body. Xylitol toothpastes are also available, and can prevent cavities.
Best: Organic toothpaste, combined with a detox agent
Using an organic toothpaste helps prevent your intake of harmful toxins, but that’s only half the battle. Your body encounters toxins every day. Removing these toxins— pesticides, mold and more—is vital to maintaining a healthy, cancer-fighting immune system.
Supplements that provide the building blocks of glutathione are the perfect complement to your organic toothpaste. Glutathione is a naturally occurring substance that acts as an antioxidant, a detoxifier and immune system booster all at once. It empowers your body to kill off cancer cells.
4. Vitamin D3 Intake
Bad: Work inside, play inside
Vitamin D is commonly associated with the sun, and for good reason. Sunlight teams with your skin to produce it. Unfortunately, vitamin D3 is not commonly found in foods, so if you work inside, play inside and don’t take a supplement, you’re probably not getting enough vitamin D3.
Better: 10-15 minutes of midday sun each day
This is the minimum amount to avoid a vitamin D3 deficiency. If you lack vitamin D3, you may be more susceptible to cancer, depression and insulin resistance. Take a walk during your lunch break to ensure you get enough time in the sun.
Best: Get some sun and supplement
A vitamin D3 supplement, along with midday sun and lots of vegetables, keeps your digestive system on track and boosts your immune system’s ability to regulate your naturally occurring cancer cells. Vitamin D3 has been shown to have the same effect as a drug used for breast cancer treatment.
Note: The use of sunscreen will inhibit the amount of vitamin D3 your skin can absorb from sunlight thus creating a deficiency.
