Mushrooms  protect your health. This is one of the best keep secrets.Mushrooms are among the many foods thought to play an important role in keeping the immune system healthy. Now, Agricultural Research Service (ARS)-funded scientists have conducted an animal-model and cell-culture study showing that white button mushrooms enhanced the activity of critical cells in the body’s immune system. In the United States, white button mushrooms represent 90 percent of the total mushrooms consumed.

There is higher consumer awareness of the value of some of the more basic plant food. The fuzzy thinking of our health care providers devalue these small gems. Mushrooms trumps open the jar and pop a pill mentality for health.

Healing miracles happen when people shape their own path. Understanding this and being aware of the ability of plant food to flush, protect and eliminate unhealthy accumulated toxins, the magic of mushrooms will make sense.

Study

A study conducted at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging (HNRCA) at Tufts University by center director Simn Meydadi, colleague Dayong Wu, and others. The results may show that white button mushrooms promote immune function by increasing production of antiviral and other proteins that are released while seeking to protect and repair tissue

How many drugs can do this withour side effects. Also, mushrooms are a rich source of riboflavin, niacin, and selenium. Selenium is an antioxidant that works with vitamin E to protect cells from free radicals. The most commonly eaten mushroom is the white button mushroom.

The latest findings show that white button mushrooms can reduce the risk of breast cancer and prostate cancer. An extract of white button mushrooms decrease cell proliferation and decreased tumor size in a dose-dependent way. The chemo-protective effect can be seen with an intake of about 100 grams (3.5 ozs) of mushrooms per day.

Shiitake mushrooms have have been used by the Chinese and Japanese to treat colds and Flu. A beta-glucan isolated from the body of shiitake mushrooms, appears to stimulate the immune system, helps fight infection, and also demonstrates ant-tumor activity.

There are many different organic and wild-harvested mushrooms that work their magic when placed on our dinner plates. The key to vibrant health is to use common foods that have uncommon abilities to build a strong immune system and promote overall health.

Breast-giving them a healthy boost means preserving them not changing them. Automatically most people assume that a boost in their appearance comes from either surgery, or some uplifting undergarment. Smarter is to try to keep them and not turn them over to special-interest groups, which see them as a cash cow. Most medical professionals can’t do squat about really making them healthy.

They can remove them, radiate, and chemo you, but that doesn’t give you breast health. They are part of a whole system, and depend on a healthy environment to keep them in shape. There are better ideas, and solutions that seem to elude the medical establishment.

Breast Health Initiatives

Breast health initiatives have to be more than a whirlwind of doctors, digital pictures, cat scans, and operations. We have to changeover from a rigged robotic assembly line approach to a more humane and productive way of handling breasts.

When one realizes the significant mismanagement of their care, we realize we are fitting a round object into a square cube. It doesn’t fit; it is trimming parts off of real people without examining the toll that takes. First choice is to leave the packaging as intact as possible.

How do you do that?  Yes, it is a tough choice for people not to run to what they see as a solid supplier of FDA accepted approaches. What the crucial question should be: is this all there is. The war on cancer has been going on for over 50 years. It looks more like a war on your breasts; in that case the real winner is the pharmaceutical companies.  The first response for most people is an emotional one and that gives you insufficient data.

Off with the breast should be out of an Alice in Wonderland story, not a real life drama. We are not saying this approach is beyond redemption. But, the speed it is done without understanding how seamlessly the breast is integrated with the rest of the body’s functions. Lymph glands are there for a reason. They are a reliable defense agent, which has a specific job. Remove them and you lose the controllers at the helm.

Breast Support

Breast support comes from nutrition, physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight, and an overall healthy lifestyle. The best boost for your breast is staying healthy. The real question is what you do when the cow left the barn. The human body can fight for you and win the battle. You have to take responsibility for the materials you supply it with. You got the power, but usually not the strategy.

It is time to embrace a new kind of thinking, and not let things go too fast. Whatever, you do you need to put nature to work; she is on your side. You need to know that every step of the way you are in charge. So even if you decide you want a medical solution, you better have an understanding of what suits your needs.

Increasing your knowledge is the unsurpassed way to seriously take on breast health. Keep reading, sign up for our newsletter, and we will rinse, shake, drain, and serve you up food for thought.

Chemotherapy Feeds Cancer, sounds strange, now learn the truth.

Have you ever wondered why advance cancer treatment fails to halt the spread of a tumor?

Cancer Feeds on

The reasons why mainstream cancer treatments so often fail, is that chemotherapy may be a cancer’s friend. Chemotherapy is a doubled edge sword. The effects of the treatment are deadly for many reasons.

The treatment alone can kill you and many times does. But, the deadly effects don’t stop there. Halting the spread of these cells has always been the Achilles’ heal of the cancer industry.

The public has a healthy fear of chemo and radiation treatment. Why people deteriorate on those protocols are three fold. One, the treatment many times doesn’t slow the spread, two it breaks down the immune system, and three it feeds the cancer cells.

Cancer can become immune to chemotherapy and use the drugs for a food supply. This next reason is the icing on the cake.

Researchers with the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Comprehensive Cancer Center and UAB Department of Chemistry have won an $805,000 grant from the U.S, Department of Defense Breast Cancer Research Program to study whether dead cancer cells left over after treatment encourage Cancer’s spread to other parts of the body.

The research centers on examining inactivated or altered genetic material (DNA) left in the body after breast-cancer cells are exposed to chemotherapy. UAB researches say the resulting altered DNA may be the factor that activates the spread of living cancer cells to distant locations in the body- a process called metastasis-through a specific molecular pathway.

“What if by killing cancer cells with chemotherapy we inadvertently induce DNA structures that make surviving cancers cells more invasive? The idea is tough to stomach,” said Katri Selender, M.D, PhD, and assistant professor of the UBA Division of Hematology and oncology and co-principal researcher on the grant.
