A majority of people know that medicinal compounds found in plants find their way to pharmaceutical labs. Plants are what makes and shapes the pharmaceutical industry. To restructure plant compounds into more effective drugs is enabling the drug companies to expand.

The demand for new and better drugs is at the center of this search. For a long time humans have used a variety of plants for medicinal purposes. The difference now is that chemists have found new ways to expand plants pharmaceutical value through genetic engineering.

Pharmacology

Pharmacology tries to improve the original structure. They have seen glimmers of hope by doing this. The real breakthroughs is not in capturing some variation, but in the shrinking our reliance on modifying through technology. Turning a plant into something different and expecting it to exceed its already majestic properties is the wrong focus.

What we really need is the soil quality that was present before we depleted the mineral quality. Genetic manipulation doesn’t offer benefits and will challenge the future of our food supply. All the public can do is wait, wonder and worry if there will be unintended consequences.

Natures Healing

This is a way to take natures powerful healing plants and turn them into cash cows. So what they have are literally doing is crossing a cash cow and a natural resource. Turning plants into a more bankable substance may not be real progress. Science may be taking natures powerful healing ability and changing it into an unnatural compound.

Engineering new genes into plants has been going on for awhile. Scientists developed corn that could produce and insecticide, which comes from a bacterial gene. Corn which was altered to produce an insecticide is polluting the water and streams near the corn fields. Bloomberg reports that 85% of the corn grown in the U.S. is genetically modified. This toxic corn is feed to livestock.

If plants are the way to treat disease, why haven’t we utilized the healing properties by consuming them as a diet staple, and ensuring that they grow in nutrient rich soil? Plants are already nutritionally potent and complete concentrated sources of healing compounds. They can protect, stimulate, regenerate cells and are easy-to-assimilate. They come as a balanced formula.

Science

While science spends so much time to see that we have a diet of engineered foods that devours our nutrients, they are looking to fix the health problems that are produced by bombarding our systems with prescription drugs. Now, they will take the foods that heal and turn them into pills, and powders that are easy and convenient t to take. They have restructured a fresh whole food, shrinking its nutritional value, and inflating its monetary worth.

The American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) highlighted the emerging research showing that even in later life; many cancers will be delayed or prevented by vegetables, fruit, and activity.

Vegetables and Fruit Protective Formula 

Vegetables and fruit are a protective formula. Anyone who wants to take care of themselves and their health or is worried about aging, plant food is designed to protect people.

They give the maximum protection with the most ease of use. It is like health insurance, it will save you money on prescriptions in the long run. Just for energy, boost plant food and physical activity. You will get long lasting results.

Recent Recommendations

These research findings reflect the recent surge in the study of diet and activity on aging. According to the latest estimates, nearly 4 in 5 cancers are diagnosed after the age of 55. Also, by age 64 a person’s cancer risk is 10 times that of younger people. What delays aging also lowers cancer risk.

Murky Science  

Here is why it is murky science. Aging has never before upped the risk of every chronic condition known to mankind. People did slow down and develop some problems, but the laundry lists of infirmities were no where near the number of conditions seen today.

What gives us a sense that aging brings about all these conditions, is that the taxing effects of our diets, stress levels, poor habits finally catching up with us as we age. Humans are built to perform well though out their lifetime. Feeling worse as you age has to do more with your having a backed-up, overloaded, crippled and sluggish system. The flawed thinking is that your body is in danger of every infection and disease as you age.

As you age you can have a healthy heart, blood pressure, sugar levels, adrenal functions, cholesterol levels, immune system, normal prostate, a good digestive tract, good circulation, and a strong back. Powerful health is created from the materials that you provide your body with. For your body to run its best you have to treat it well.

The Root of All Disease

The root of all disease including cancer starts simply. The everyday symptoms are letting you know that your body is not working efficiently. The signs are abdominal discomfort, allergies, anxiety, backaches, constipation, depression, fatigue, food cravings, headaches, hemorrhoids, indigestion, insomnia, irritability, lack of sexual drive and function, memory problems, and weight gain.

So instead of blaming everything on aging the increasing health care crisis is a reflection of lifestyle.

Fruit and Vegetables to the Rescue

Talk about simply solutions, this is the simplest. Fruits and vegetables grown in mineral-rich soil are an extremely concentrated source of nutrients. They are both regenerative and build the supply of vitamins, minerals, and enzymes for the body to use.

The C Complex nutrients like bioflavonoids, hesperidins, and rutin are known to help the immune system. This is the first line of defense that keeps the immune system in top form.

Micronutrients, trace elements, and nutritional compounds are what will keep cancer at bay. This isn’t a matter of age, but a matter of nutrition. If you clean up your act your body will respond with better digestion, more energy, better memory, and emotional stability.

Hear is some brain candy. Breast cancer’s illogical treatment and the untold suffering is part of the culture embracing standard treatment protocols.

Powerhouse Effect of Natural Plant Compounds

Breast cancer cells-even the most aggressive type-succumbed after treatments with peach and plum extracts in lab tests at Texas AgriLife Research. The cancerous cells keeled over, but the normal cells were not harmed.

ArgrlLife Research scientist say two phenolic compounds are responsible for the cancer cell demise in the study. This study was published in the Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry. The phenols are organic compounds that occur in fruits. They are slightly acidic and may be associated with the traits such as aroma, taste or color.

“It was a differential effect which is what you’re looking for because in current cancer treatment with chemotherapy, the substance kills all cells, so it is really tough on the body.” said Dr. David Byrne, AgriLife Research plant breeder who studies stone fruit. “Here. There is a five-fold difference in the toxic intensity. You can put at a level where it will kill the cancer cells-the very aggressive ones-and not the normal ones.”

According to the National Cancer Institute, there were 192,370 new cases of breast cancer in females and 1,910 cases in males in 2009. That year, 40,170 women and 440 men died from breast cancer. The World Health Organization reports that breast cancer accounts for 16 percent of the cancer deaths of women globally. Cisneros-Zevallos, an AgriLife Research food scientist, said the team compared normal cells to two types of breast cancer, including the most aggressive type. The cells were treated with an extract from two commercial varieties, the “Rich Lady” peach and the “Black Splendor” plum.

“A closer look at the extracts determined that two specific phenolic acid Components-chlorogenic and neochlorogenic-were responsible for killing the cancer cells while not affecting the normal cells,” Cisneros-Zevallos said.

The two compounds are very common in fruits, the researchers said, but the stone fruits such as plums and peaches have especially high levels. “So this is very, very attractive from the point of view of being an alternative to typical chemotherapy which kills normal cells along with cancerous ones,” Byrne added.

The team said laboratory tests also confirmed that the compounds prevented cancer from growing in animals given the compounds.

Breakthrough

This isn’t a unprecedented breakthrough, nor is it a new way to manage cancer. Antioxidant powerhouse effects of fruits and vegetables have been proven over and over. All approved drugs fail to prevent or treat many conditions satisfactory. This latest discovery was here all along, right under our noses at the grocery produce department.

Plants not only have antioxidant potential, they are unrivalled at defending us from free radicals. The beneficial pigmented plants transport life giving substances for cellular health.

Broad-spectrum benefits of plant food keeps the doctor away. Perhaps, that is why most medical professionals will tell you diet has nothing to do with the condition.

Medical Industry

It could be said that  the medical industry is incompetent, but they are very competent on fiscal matters. The pharmaceutical industry is doing well monetarily.

The medical monopoly increased regulation of our health care system has just about done away with free enterprise in the health and wellness arena. This giant conglomerate outperforms in the cash department, but it shows a deficit in the healing department.

Breast cancers illogical treatment, includes destroying immunity, causing heart problems, lost of hair, throwing up, lost of memory, and fatigue. This is without counting future problems that will not be attributed to the toxic chemicals, and radiation.
