I don´t know if you are familiar with “Bruce Lipton”?
Preview The Biology of Belief – Unleash the Power of Your Mind
to Take Control of Your Life & Your Health
Many oncologists, such as David Gorski have mocked Lipton, 
. I expect the entire oncology department will be closed down once they see that all we need to do is believe we are healthy 
or maybe I should apologise for the news….
In Lipton’s video’s he tells what you need to know about how our cells are controlled by environmental signals. Lipton debunks the idea that there is any gene that causes cancer and explain what really controls your genetics: your beliefs.
Beliefs can change gene expression. They can cause mutant genes to read as normal genes – as well as normal genes to read as mutant genes; it all starts with what you believe. You have power over your biology and therefore the influence to maintain your health no matter what your DNA says.
When Ellsworth Wareham was in his nineties, he decided that his house in Loma Linda, California — a beautiful city 60 miles east of Los Angeles, Spanish for “lovely hill” — needed a new fence. But rather than hire a contractor to install the wood fence, as most nonagenarians would no doubt do, Wareham went to the hardware store, bought the supplies he needed, and returned to dig some post holes.
Wareham proceeded to put the wood fence up himself. A few days later, Wareham was in the hospital — performing open-heart surgery on a patient.

As Dan Buettner recounts in his book Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who’ve Lived the Longest, Blue Zones: Secrets of a Long Life ted talks 🙂
Some Adventists get personally offended if they get colon cancer or some other disease.
By many accounts, Wareham, now 98, has led a good, full, and meaningful life. What does he know that we don’t?
LOMA LINDA (CBSLA.com) — “The Gift of Time” is a fitting name for a clock shop in the Inland Empire enclave of Loma Linda as residents see
Benita Welebir at 100 years old is a spring chicken
Although lots of communities have centenarians, Loma Linda is a so-called “blue zone” designated by National Geographic as one of the five longest-living communities in the world.
The average life
“Mine would be around 89 years,” said Brian Bull, a blood researcher, pathologist and former dean of Loma Linda University Medical School. “Now being male automatically shortens my lifespan by about two years. Nothing I can do about that.”
But in Loma Linda, the average man makes it to 89 compared to the national average for men, which is 78. The average woman in Loma Linda lives to 91, which Bull says is “huge.”
“For the females in the general population, it’s about 81 years,” he explains.
But Loma Linda is not a general population community as it encompasses different values and a different lifestyle
“I’m a lacto-ovo-vegetarian male Adventist,” said Bull, who at the age of 77 he has no regrets about giving up meat when he was 4. Back then, there was no science proving vegetarianism made people healthier. However, in his church meat eating has been discouraged for more than 150 years.
“When it became obvious that Adventists were living a lot longer, even the federal government got curious as to why that might be the case,” he said.
Adventists preach that the body is a temple, and a typical Loma Linda breakfast consists of hot oatmeal or granola spiked with flax seed, nuts and plenty of berries.
Not only do Adventists live an average of 10 years longer, they also get less heart disease, cancer and disabilities.
A spin class at a local fitness
Bull says fitness, science and religion all work together in his hometown among Adventists.
“Science has always been looked upon with approval,” explained Bull, but never at the expense of being observant as local businesses and labs close on Saturdays for the Sabbath.
“Saturday, which is the Sabbath. We go to church, meet with friends and family.”
During that time, attention turns away from making a living to other aspects of life.
Until 2011, Loma Linda got their weekend mail delivery Sunday rather than Saturday.
While science hasn’t proven whether observing the Sabbath on its own helps people live longer, Bull says it “wouldn’t be too surprising because I don’t think the human organism is designed to work seven days a week.”
Welebir, too, has no doubt following Adventist guidelines has contributed to her longevity and believes in always being happy.
“Like today, I had to have a bite of something sweet and then I felt I became sweeter myself in disposition,” she said.
Sweetness, too, may be a key to longevity, which is something Bull encourages in his 11-year-old granddaughter.
“We’re here to serve God, and we serve God best by serving our fellow man,” he said.

Why Loma Linda residents live longer than the rest of us: They treat their body like a temple 🙂
It’s not a bathing-suit body that Daniel and Vicki Fontoura and their neighbors are after as they go about their days in perhaps the healthiest community in the United States. It’s something so much more essential, a part of their very being.
The Fontouras, their three children and Daniel’s parents are among the 22,000 residents of Loma Linda, where as many as a third of the people are Seventh-day Adventists. Their faith instructs them to treat their bodies as temples: little or no meat or fish, no smoking or alcohol, plenty of exercise and a sense of purpose.
Spend a little time in Loma Linda, and what distinguishes it from, say, the adjacent city of San Bernardino becomes apparent.
The Loma Linda Market near Loma Linda University has bin after bin of beans and grains; there’s no meat section. There is a McDonald’s in a shopping center, but it moved in only after a fight; the arches are demure, and a countertop poster advertises veggie burgers.
Studies have shown that Seventh-day Adventists, who have a broad range of ethnic backgrounds, live as much as a decade longer than the rest of us, which led to Loma Linda being identified as one of five longevity spots, called Blue Zones, on the planet and the only one in the United States.
“I don’t think we’re so bold as to say that the only way to have this eight- to 10-year advantage is to be an Adventist,” said Fontoura, vice president/chief wholeness officer at Loma Linda University Health. “We do view it as the core. But how people get there is up to them.”
Active longer
About 96,000 people have been enrolled in an ongoing study, and 26% of them are African American, a generally under-studied population, says Dr. Michael Orlich, who specializes in preventive medicine and is studying the effects of lifestyle on mortality at Loma Linda University Medical Center, part of the 110-year-old Loma Linda University Health System, which includes eight professional schools and six hospitals
Loma Linda also has started to study how an active faith affects overall resilience.
“Health reform was in the DNA of the Seventh-day Adventists,” Orlich says.
But even in Loma Linda, there’s only so much that can be controlled. Also under study, Orlich says, is the effect of smog. Loma Linda also sits at the base of mountains all too frequently obscured by haze. The early information, he says, “looks pretty scary, to tell you the truth.”
Loma Linda, California
A group of Americans living 10 years longer.
The Seventh-day Adventist church in this sunny pocket of Southern California was founded in the 1840s. The church flourished through the 20th century – and so did its 
members who view health as central to their faith.
Today, a community of about 9,000 Adventists in the Loma Linda area are the core of America’s Blue Zone. They live as much as a decade longer than the rest of us, and much of their longevity can be attributed to vegetarianism and regular exercise. Plus, Adventists don’t smoke or drink alcohol.

How can you live like the American longevity all-stars? Try these tactics practiced in Loma Linda to live measurably longer.
Find a sanctuary in time.
A weekly break from the rigors of daily life, the 24-hour Sabbath provides a time to focus on family, God, camaraderie, and nature. Adventists claim this relieves their stress, strengthens social networks, and provides consistent exercise.
Maintain a healthy body mass index (BMI).
Adventists with healthy BMI’s (meaning they have an appropriate weight for their heights) who keep active and eat meat sparingly, if at all, have lower blood pressure, lower blood cholesterol , and less cardiovascular disease than heavier Americans with higher BMIs.
Get regular, moderate exercise.
The Adventist Health Survey (AHS) shows that you don’t need to be a marathoner to maximize your life expectancy. Getting regular, low-intensity exercise like daily walks appear to help reduce your chance of having heart disease and certain cancers.
Spend time with like-minded friends.
Adventists tend to spend time with lots of other Adventists. They find well-being by sharing each other’s values and supporting each other’s habits.
Snack on nuts.
Adventists who consume nuts at least five times a week have about half the risk of heart disease and live about two years longer than those who don’t. At least four major studies have confirmed that eating nuts has an impact on health and life expectancy.
Give something back.
Like many faiths, the Seventh-day Adventist Church encourages and provides opportunities for its members to volunteer. People like centenarian Marge Jetton stay active, find sense of purpose, and stave off depression by focusing on helping others.
Eat meat in moderation.
Many Adventists follow a vegetarian diet. The AHS shows that consuming fruits and vegetables and whole grains seems to be protective against a wide variety of cancers. For those who prefer to eat some meat, Adventist recommend small portions served as a side dish rather than as the main meal.
Eat an early, light dinner.
“Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper,” American nutritionist Adelle Davis is said to have recommended –an attitude also reflected in Adventist practices. A light dinner early in the evening avoids flooding the body with calories during the inactive parts of the day. It seems to promote better sleep and a lower BMI.
Put more plants in your diet.
Nonsmoking Adventists who ate 2 or more servings of fruit per day had about 70 percent fewer lung cancers than nonsmokers who ate fruit once or twice a week. Adventists who ate legumes such as peas and beans 3 times a week had a 30 to 40 percent reduction in colon cancer. Adventists women who consumed tomatoes at least 3 or 4 times a week reduced their chance of getting ovarian cancer by 70 percent over those who ate tomatoes less often. Eating a lot of tomatoes also seemed to have an effect on reducing prostate cancer for men.
Drink plenty of water.
The AHS suggests that men who drank 5 or 6 daily glasses of water had a substantial reduction in the risk of a fatal heart attack –60 to 70 percent–compared to those who drank considerably less.

Please Note:
Why you should listen:
Mina Bissell’s groundbreaking research has proven that cancer is not only caused by cancer cells. It is caused by an interaction between cancer cells and the surrounding cellular micro-environment. In healthy bodies, normal tissue homeostasis and architecture inhibit the progression of cancers.
But changes in the microenvironment–following an injury or a wound for instance–can shift the balance. This explains why many people harbor potentially malignant tumors in their bodies without knowing it and never develop cancer, and why tumors often develop when tissue is damaged or when the immune system is suppressed.
The converse can also be true. In a landmark 1997 experiment, mutated mammary cells, when dosed with an antibody and placed into a normal cellular micro-environment, behaved normally. This powerful insight from Bissell’s lab may lead to new ways of treating existing and preventing potential cancers.
What others say
“Bissell was not the first to claim that a cell’s microenvironment plays a role in the formation of tumors. But she showed how this happens…Still, she modestly maintains her most important contribution is that she hammered away at her point for thirty years.” — Kara Platoni, East Bay Express
