Breast Cancer, Nutrition

Much for being here. Thank you so much.

OK, so I'm just curious how many folks here are practitioners.

Maybe about a quarter of you and patients, cancer survivors.

OK. Well, I think this is gonna be applicable to both groups of you. It's actually a new presentation I put together just for this conference. So you'll pardon me if I check in with my notes once in a while, since this is the first time I've actually given this particular presentation. So this is my book. It's called Wholefood Guide for Breast Cancer Survivors. It's actually not really specifically for breast cancer. It really applies to any cancer. But my publisher felt like you must have a niche. So that's what we called it. There is one chapter at the end that's specific to hormones. So that is the one that is for breast cancer specifically. So my store.

I very strongly believe in like organic free range eggs and whole raw milk and raw cheeses and wonderful things like that, which give us vitamin A, vitamin K, vitamin D, vitamin E and our fat soluble nutrients.

So when we go on low fat crazes and we refuse to have any fat in our diet, we miss out on a lot of these wonderful these wonderful nutrients.

OK. I think probably most of you are familiar with this, so I'm not going to belabor it, but the connection between this standard American diet that's NCD and cancer is is very well documented. There are some figures, some estimates as high as 40 percent of all cancers are caused by dietary indiscretions. So I want to point out a few things here. Let's see the refined sugar. We know tap water is quite carcinogenic these days.

Considering that if you analyze what's in it, the municipal water authorities
