Croatian Cancer Rates

    This website having a main goal of  reducing global rates  and being steered by a New Facebook friend  from Split, Croatia whom I met  from            a cancer group. Being she’s 29 years old  and with me  feeling she’s wise beyond those years. I  felt her enthusiasm as she full heartedly endorsed tocotrienols  as being effective against tumors,  and  being  from Croatia  selling an American product KyaniKristina Zuljevic.kyani.net

    While Kyani  has  a completely clean tocotrienol  compound  having        risen  from  the Amazon rain  forest herb Annatto.  Some other products contain tocotrienol with tocopherol which also reduces the effectiveness          of  tocotrienols  that  come  from rice  and other plant  sources that don’t  have clean tocotrienols.  For  anybody’s  utmost  health  and  preventive measure an antioxidant  like Kyani  should  be in your everyday life!

     Annatto seed with a rich source of  tocotrienol antioxidants similar           in structure and  function to vitamin E.  The tocotrienols  from Annatto,      palm oil, rice bran  and other sources are the subject of  current medical    and nutritional research. Since these compounds are thought to prevent cancer due to their anti – angiogenic effect.

   While also during our conversation she clued me in on her take about cancer being she’s around huge amounts. We discuss world differences,   Coastal Croatia and as you travel Inland as cancer rates increase. Also      the greater distances  you  get  away  from  the coast  and those that eat         fish and vegetables in favor of  wrong foods. With stress from a country   that  has  4,500,000 people  with  370,o000 unemployed with inactivity    and  also  irresponsible  smoking …. the  greater  cancer  rates  abound.  http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/819133#1

   The Coastal region of  Croatia bears the influence of  Greek, Roman & Illyrian ancestry as well as the more traditional Mediterranean Cuisine. Italian  (especially Venetian) and the  French,  using olive oil,  herbs and spices, such as rosemary, sage, bay leaf, oregano, marjoram, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, lemon  and orange rind.  Cooking traditions are based on  imaginative variations of  several basic ingredients~cereal, meat, dairy product,  fish,  vegetables  and the cooking procedures (stewing, grilling, roasting and baking.)       The  Lifestyle  of  A  Mediterranean Diet.

    While  bourgeois  cuisine  involves  more  complicated   procedures  and        use of  selected  herbs and spices.  Croatian cuisine on the other side of  the country having  Yugoslav influence  in the Dalmatian Villages use olive oil.  Whereas  the cuisines characterized  by early Slavic, favor the neighboring cultures of  Austrian, Hungarian and Turkisk while using lard  for cooking in  the northern part of  the country.  With manista na pome, or pasta  and   tomato sauce,  soparnik  as  being  the  staple items  which  are  extremely high glycemic index value and insulin spike.  

   While having this conversation with Kristina it also reminded myself  of reading  about Lydia Wilson. Whom  just  last October  began  a nine month research mission to Croatia,  as  a Fulbright Scholar  whose mission started when she was thirteen when she traveled with her grand parents to Croatia where her grand father was born. On that trip and subsequent trips she  fell  in Love with this Coastal European country situated across the Adriatic Sea from the boot of  Italy.   http://www.ncwgoodlife.com/the-traveling-doctor/why-mediterranean-diet-is-so-healthy

   Even  though  Croatia  incidence rate of  cancer is almost equal to that of  the United States, Croatian cancer mortality rates are twice as high as ours. While  Wilson  has the  fundamental belief  that  someones  chances  of  LIFE shouldn’t be dependent upon where they were born. She states, that she also doesn’t believe that someone diagnosed with cancer in rural Nebraska USA, shouldn’t  be offered less  of  a  chance at life  than  someone  living down the street  from world renowned,  MD Anderson,  in Houston Texas.

   Lydia Wilson will be researching  at The University Hospital  for Tumors  in the city of  Zagreb,  which is the capitol  and largest city of  Croatia  until mid 2014 and at this hospital she will  follow the cases 0f patients prescribed radiation.  She will be looking at different  factors,  such as cancer treatment options, also the radiation equipment used and dosage, as well as the ease of access to treatments for patients.  Her HOPE is be able to pinpoint problems, so if  changes were made, it would lower the mortality rate.
