Fight cancer with the healing power of exercise, diet and supplements 🙂
Fight Cancer with Exercise
That means that despite what you may have heard, one of the most effective ways to prevent cancer isn’t a breakthrough drug… or radical surgery.
It’s not even a natural supplement.
In fact, the latest research states that up to 70 percent of cancer cases could be prevented by “a broad range of interventions at multiple levels.”
To put it plainly: simple lifestyle changes can dramatically reduce your risk for cancer!
Now, I’m sure you’ve heard that quitting smoking – or never taking it up in the first place – is a great way to reduce your odds of getting cancer. And you may even know that limiting the amount of alcohol you drink and maintaining a healthy body weight can do the same.
But, my friend, there’s yet another powerful way to prevent cancer that people aren’t talking about nearly enough… and that can be BLOCKBUSTER for cancer prevention, when combined with these other lifestyle changes.
I’m talking about exercise.
Now, before you groan at the mere mention of exercise, let me explain what a PROFOUND difference it can make.
Higher levels of physical activity have been found to reduce the risk of HALF the types of cancers reviewed in an analysis of data from more than a million Europeans and Americans.
The cancers that were most impacted by exercise included three of the most common cancers in the U.S. – lung, breast, and colorectal cancer – as well as:
- esophageal
- liver
- kidney
- stomach
- endometrial
- myeloid leukemia (blood and bone marrow) and myeloma (bone marrow)
- head and neck
- bladder
And it reduced the risk of developing those cancers significantly – by at least 10 percent to as much as 42 percent.
Regular exercise appears to lower your cancer risk in a variety of ways – but primarily by balancing your hormones, boosting your immunity, reducing inflammation, and clearing out the toxins that may cause cancer in the first place.
For example, women who are physically active tend to have lower levels of estrogen – a hormone that, at high levels, are strongly associated specifically with breast and endometrial cancer.
Not only that, but when the hormone insulin continuously spikes due to poor blood sugar control, it fuels cancer cells.
Insulin spikes can also suppress the immune system, as does the “stress” hormone cortisol – and, if you’re at risk for developing cancer, you need your immunity to stay in prime condition, ready for battle.
But exercise has been proven to BOOST your immune system – thereby strengthening your ability to FIGHT OFF those cancer cells so they don’t develop into cancerous tumors.
We are bombarded with tens of thousands of man-made chemicals in our environment, with many of them known to be carcinogenic – that is, to cause cancer. But exercise reduces the inflammation that almost always accompanies toxicity – and that is strongly associated with most cancers.
When you exercise, it improves blood flow through your organs – particularly those involved in detoxification, such as the kidneys and liver, making sure those toxins get filtered and moved OUT of your body rather than hanging around and causing trouble. Even mild physical activity can also make you sweat, and sweating gives toxins yet another way out of your body – through your skin.
You can benefit from exercise that’s as little as a half hour of “moderate” intensity activity just five days a week, according to a study recently published in JAMA Oncology. Moderate activity is something you’d be able to talk while doing – but maybe not sing. That means walking briskly… gardening… golfing… and even playing with the grandkids.

Mark Stengler Cancer Protocol!!!!
So much has been written about using diet and supplements to lower your risk of developing cancer that it could fill a
library. But if you, or a loved one, have already been diagnosed with cancer, recovery is, naturally, your focus.
Unfortunately, finding tips on what to do after a diagnosis isn’t nearly as easy. But there’s actually plenty you can do
to cut down on the side effects of conventional cancer treatments, speed your recovery, and improve your odds of
long-term survival.
Conventional oncologists know very little about nutrition, so they rarely make any dietary recommendations. Even
worse, some oncologists tell patients there’s no relationship between their diet and cancer.
The truth is your diet can make all the difference between recovering or succumbing to this ugly disease. And when it
comes to supplements, oncologists tend to be downright hostile, believing that vitamins and herbs will interfere with
conventional treatments or have no benefit. Nothing could be further from the truth.
After surgery you’re at a higher risk for nutritional deficiencies (even if you didn’t have preexisting ones), particularly
when it comes to vitamins C and B12. And there’s plenty of research showing that both during and after chemo,
supplements are beneficial. The research on taking supplements during radiation therapy is less clear, but still
valuable in my clinical experience.1,2,3
The veggie “secret” to beating back cancer
As emotionally devastating as a cancer diagnosis is, it’s also an opportunity to change your diet for the better
improving not only your quality of life but your long-term survival. Of course most veggies are packed with good-for you
nutrients. For example, they’re anti-inflammatory, which is important because inflammation causes cancer cells
to multiply. Antioxidants also turn on helpful genes while turning off disease-promoting ones.
I recommend piling on the vegetables, and mixing them up while you’re at it. The biggest nutritional bang for your
buck comes from organic (pesticide-free) cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower, and kale. They’re rich
in various anti-cancer compounds, and they also help your body break down, or detoxify, harmful chemicals. Fill at
least half of your plate with veggies, with the rest being quality protein (fish, organically raised chicken) and a bit of
gluten-free starch.
Detox & boost immunities with healing juice
Fresh vegetable juices are an important part of a cancer-fighting diet. The phytonutrients found in plants provide a
concentrated source of immune boosting, anti-inflammatory, and detoxifying agents. You can blend your vegetables
together in water or water combined with a small amount of coconut or almond milk. If you’re not a fan of the taste of
vegetable juices, or you just want to mix things up a bit, feel free to add a small amount of fresh fruit juice to the mix.
Great vegetable-juice choices include kale, collard greens, tomatoes, spinach, cucumber, cabbage, carrots, beets,
barley green, wheat grass, and berries. Start with six ounces daily of three or more of these anticancer foods and
work up to 24 ounces or more a day.
Going green to give cancer a run for its money
There are a stack of studies showing green tea’s ability to fight cancer including breast, prostate, esophagus,
stomach, colon, lung, skin, liver, bladder, ovary, mouth, and blood cancers. A Japanese study found that five or more
cups of green tea a day could slash the risk of blood and lymph-based cancers by about 50%.4
Green tea contains a powerful group of antioxidants known as polyphenols that prevent free radicals (unstable
molecules) from damaging cell DNA and tissues of the body. If you’re undergoing chemotherapy or radiation check
with your oncologist about the most recent research on green tea to make sure it’s compatible with your therapy.
Slash the sugar and shrink the carbs to beat cancer
Cancer thrives on sugar. To beat cancer it’s critical that you cut back on refined sugars, potatoes, and other
processed carbohydrates (sweets, white bread, pizza, pasta, bagels). Our bodies convert refined carbs to glucose
and glucose is the favorite fuel source of cancer cells. These carb-laden foods increase insulin-like growth factor and
blood sugar levels, which appear to cause many cancers to grow.5
Once you’ve slashed your carbs you may be tempted to turn to artificial sweeteners to satisfy your sweet tooth. In
one word… don’t. The fake sugar trap can fool you into blissfully gobbling down sweeteners while exposing you to
suspected carcinogens.
Researchers at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School found a frightening link between
drinking more than one serving of diet soda a day and an increased risk of developing leukemia, multiple myeloma,
and non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas.6
Science-backed supplements can help you kick cancer
I’m not going to tell you taking a supplement will simply cure your cancer because that’s (generally) just not true. But
what supplements CAN do is give your quality of life a big boost and, even better, send your survival odds
skyrocketing. But this isn’t something you should tackle on your own. Seek out the advice of an expert who can tailor
a supplement program for your specific needs.
If you’re a cancer patient, or are in remission, I urge you to seek the guidance of a nutritionally oriented ND or MD.
But I believe an informed patient is the best kind of patient…and your doctor should too… so let’s go over some
cancer-busting supplement basics.
Vital vitamin D lowers your cancer risk
Vitamin D is a real cancer-fighting superstar. This vital vitamin can help cut your cancer risk and support your
recovery after a diagnosis. I find that most cancer patients are deficient in D and a medical history often reveals that
they were likely deficient before their diagnosis as well.
In a recent study researchers found that leukemia and lymphoma patients were deficient in vitamin D before their
diagnosis, and their deficiencies became worse after being treated with chemotherapy.7
found that low D levels can raise your chances of being diagnosed with breast cancer.8
journal Anticancer Research found that breast cancer survivors with the highest vitamin D levels had HALF the death
rate of those with low levels! 9
But the benefits of vitamin D go so much further. More than 60 studies have found that high levels of vitamin D are
associated with a lower risk of certain cancers, including those of the breast, prostate, colon, and lung, as well as
leukemia and myeloma.10,11,12,13,14
are below 50 (your doctor can run tests to determine your current numbers). Aim for a blood level of vitamin D of at
least 50 ng/ml.
Omega-3 “miracle worker” could slash your cancer risk
Like vitamin D, omega-3s (found in fish oils) are cancer fighters. They are anti-inflammatory, which means they
essentially dampen down the biological craziness of cancer cells. And recent research revealed that omega-3s could
cut your risk of breast cancer by up to one-third—as well as play an important role in treatment.15,16
In another study of women treated for metastatic breast cancer, researchers discovered that large amounts of
docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)—one of the fatty acids found in fish oil—led to a significant increase in survival.17
Other studies have found that high-dose omega-3s combined with chemotherapy have significant benefits for patients
with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).18
For breast cancer patients, I typically recommend taking 1,800 mg of DHA daily. For non-small cell lung cancer, I
usually suggest taking approximately 2.2 grams of EPA and 240 mg of DHA daily. And for other types of cancer, I
suggest taking 1,000 mg of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and 1,000 mg of DHA.
Douse cancer-related inflammation with curcumin
Curcumin, an extract of turmeric root, is one of the most powerful anti-inflammatory substances found in nature.
Researchers at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Treatment Center in Houston, Texas, have studied its anticancer
properties and are using it as an adjunct treatment for some cancer patients. One published report by the Center’s
researchers notes that curcumin blocks inflammatory processes though 97 different mechanisms!
Cancer studies have used 2 to 8 grams of curcumin daily with moderate success. In my own practice, I recommend a
variety of supplements, which I think are far better than using just curcumin alone. I typically suggest taking 1500-
3,000 mg daily of a well-absorbed form of curcumin. Retail brands to consider include Nature’s Way, Natural Factors,
and New Chapter. For even more information on this anticancer food see the May 2014 edition of Health Revelations.
Antioxidant powerhouse may help you live longer
Coenzyme Q10 is a vitamin-like nutrient that your cells need to function. This powerful antioxidant is needed for
normal energy production. There’s considerable evidence that cancer involves abnormalities in cellular energy
production, so CoQ10 might work in part by helping to re-normalize cell metabolism. The anticancer benefits of this
nutrient first attracted my attention around 20 years ago, after a Danish physician published case histories
demonstrating CoQ10’s benefits for cancer patients. 21,22
In a more recent study, a different Danish physician described his treatment of 41 patients with a variety of end-stage
cancers including primary breast, esophagus, lung, pancreas, and prostate cancers. In all cases, the cancers had
metastasized to other organs. The doctor’s regimen provided 300 mg of CoQ10, plus several other nutrients. Threefourths
of the patients lived an average of five months longer than expected, and some patients survived years longer
than expected!23
I typically suggest taking 300 to 400 mg of CoQ10 to my own patients.
Is multitasking selenium the key to cancer survival?
Selenium is an essential mineral that’s needed to make glutathione peroxidase, an enzyme involved in the liver’s
detoxification of harmful chemicals. But several studies have found that it can also help protect women who have
inherited a mutation in a gene, BRCA1, which significantly increases their risk of breast cancer. In one of those
studies, a team of Canadian and European researchers took a look at white blood cells obtained from 26 women with
BRCA1 mutations. Those cells had a high rate of abnormalities, but after three months of selenium supplements the
number of cell abnormalities dropped to normal levels. 24
A second and even more significant study, this time of 200 women with the BRCA1 mutation, found that women
taking selenium supplements over a two-year period had an astounding two times lower risk of developing breast
cancer!25,26
around the world. But, instead, it was virtually ignored.
I typically recommend 200 mcg of selenium a day. This is the amount found in many multivitamin and mineral
supplements.
Barking up a tree to beat cancer
Honokiol, an extract of the bark of the magnolia tree (Magnolia officinalis), appears to have significant anticancer
properties. Although the emerging research so far has been conducted mostly on cells and animals, 139 journal
articles have been published on this exciting therapy, giving honokiol a respectable scientific foundation.
It’s believed that this all-natural, cancer-fighting weapon works by choking off tumors, denying them the nutrients they
need to survive. And unlike many conventional cancer treatments honokiol is thought to bypass healthy cells,
targeting only the sick cancer cells. Many naturopathic physicians in the United States are recommending this
supplement to their cancer patients. The suggested dosage is 9 grams daily.27,28,29,30,31
Critical antioxidant boosts cancer-fighting cells
Glutathione is critical to normal cell function including cell division and a healthy cell life cycle. And now, emerging
research has revealed the antioxidant also plays a role in ridding the body of carcinogenic environmental toxins.
A recent study published in the European Journal of Nutrition looked at the effects of a specific type of oral
glutathione (Setria) on 54 healthy adults. The study found that 1000 mg a day of glutathione increased red blood cell
levels between 30 and 35 percent overall. Glutathione levels, measured in cheek cells rose, by 260% and doses as
low as 250 mg daily also increased the antioxidants levels.32
poor absorption rates with other glutathione products.
In addition, after three months special cancer-fighting cells—known as natural killer cells—had doubled in activity
compared to placebo!33
I typically recommend 500 to 1000 mg daily on an empty stomach.
I’ve also seen great results using intravenous glutathione in cancer patients who have finished their chemotherapy.
Glutathione helped to restore their energy, brain function, and immunity after the harsh treatment. For intravenous
use I recommend 1600 to 2000 mg by IV in a series of 5 to ten treatments.
Target tumors with fermented wheat germ extract
I often recommend fermented wheat germ extract (FWGE) to patients with cancer. A solid stack of human research—
more than 100 studies published in over 20 peer-reviewed medical journals—has shown that FWGE helps fight
cancer. The benefits in these studies were crystal clear… FWGE improves quality of life, overall survival and diseasefree
survival.
FWGE fights cancer in several ways. It reduces the supply of glucose (sugar) to cancer cells making it harder for the
tumors to survive. It also reduces a certain protein found on cancer cells making it easier for your immune system to
find and target the tumor. And, finally, it enhances your immune system response against tumors.
Research has revealed that FWGE is beneficial in fighting colorectal, breast, melanoma, lung, and oral
cancers.34,35,36,37
I typically recommend one packet containing 8.5 to 9 g of FWGE daily, mixed with eight ounces cold water or any
other beverage that containing less than 10 mg vitamin C per eight-ounce serving. Store the packets at room
temperature or in the refrigerator. FWGE is also available in tablets. The typical tablet dosage is 5 tabs/capsules,
twice a day on an empty stomach. For more information see the January 2013 edition of Health Revelations.
Supercharge your immunities with medicinal mushrooms
American doctors are often surprised to find that medicinal mushroom extracts are commonly administered as drugs,
both orally and intravenously, by Chinese and Japanese oncologists (in addition to their common use by herbalists
and traditional practitioners in those countries).
Fortunately these same powerful mushroom extracts are available as dietary supplements in the United States. There
are a number of mushroom extracts which are used to supercharge the immune system. The best studied include
maitake and coriolus versicolor.
Mushroom extracts contain compounds known as beta glucans which have the unique ability to stimulate your
immune system to work better. They do this by increasing the number of cancer killing immune cells as well as their
activity. There have been many published studies demonstrating their benefits for people with cancer. They even
have been proven safe and effective for people receiving chemotherapy or radiation.
Maitake is most helpful for fighting cancers of the breast, prostate, liver, and lung. It can also be used to reduce the
side effects of chemotherapy. For example, a survey of 671 patients found that combining chemotherapy with
maitake treatment reduced adverse reactions (such as hair loss, pain, and nausea) as well as reduced the pain of
terminal stage cancer.39
Coriolus is best used for cancers of the esophagus, lung, stomach, and colon cancer. In a study of 650 cancer
patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiation the mushroom was able to significantly slash side effects.40
Combine supplements for the best cancer-fighting impact
Most of the studies I’ve mentioned here used only a single nutritional supplement. However, in my experience taking
multiple supplements to combat cancer and relieve symptoms has a greater impact. Of course the best results occur
when you combine supplements with diet and lifestyle changes. A holistic medical doctor can personalize a cancerfighting
plan for you.
Read this BEFORE your next barbecue!
Since barbecues are as American as apple pie I know this next bit of advice is going to be tough to hear for many
folks. The fact is, if you want to cut your cancer risk you’re going to have to also cut back on your grilling habit.
Charring meats, the blacking you see when they’re cooked on the grill, produces carcinogens. You should cut back
on red meat anyhow, since having too much in your diet is linked with certain cancers.
