Benefit from the Natural Health of Bananas
Benefit from the Natural Health of Bananas: "(NaturalNews) The banana that we eat with our morning cereal has been used as a medicine around the world for centuries. Known in Latin as Musa sapienta, the banana is not actually a fruit but an herbaceous perennial. Alone and combined with healing botanicals, the banana can be used to heal ulcers and asthma, or to cure cataracts and other eye problems. Research has now shown that bananas can lower blood pressure as well as prevent colon cancer. Full of many nutrients and fiber, the banana is not only a food, but also a potent medicine."

Long-promised cancer revolution begins - Short Sharp Science - New Scientist
Long-promised cancer revolution begins - Short Sharp Science - New Scientist: "A personalised blood test that can identify tumour DNA could be the first step towards a long-promised revolution in the way cancer is treated.
In the short term, the test - reported by Victor Velculescu of Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center in Baltimore, Maryland, and his colleagues in Science Translational Medicine - could be used to spot cancer recurrence before tumour growth shows up on scans, meaning that treatment could be started earlier."

Coconut Oil Provides a Solution to the Spread of MRSA
Coconut Oil Provides a Solution to the Spread of MRSA: "(NaturalNews) MRSA is often described as a contagious, potentially lethal bacterial infection that's difficult to eliminate because it's resistant to antibiotics. But the problem is that doctors are trying to use antibiotics to fight the disease - and antibiotics are immune destroying drugs that pathogens are known to develop resistance against. In addition, doctors are neglecting to use natural antibiotic substances that germs, pathogens and bacteria don't develop resistance to - and that don't fundamentally destroy our first line of immune defense. Coconut oil is one such solution and for a MRSA sufferer, it can be used both internally and externally."

18 Things You Need to Know About Vitamin D and Cancer
Think twice before applying that sunscreen! Did you know vitamin D deficiency kills more than one million people each year? As more and more people slather on the sunscreen (which is most likely filled with harmful and toxic chemicals), they get less and less of nature's "sunshine" vitamin, which is synthesized by the skin when exposed to direct sunlight. On the flip side, the risk of being harmed by the sun is minimal. Sufficient vitamin D levels can decrease a woman's breast cancer risk by 50 percent, and supress tumor growth in colorectal, breast and prostate cancer.
Read on to learn more about the overwhelming evidence between cancer risk and vitamin D deficiency - and what you can do about it.
Author Quotes about Vitamin D and Cancer:
1. "Vitamin D suppresses tumor growth and promotes differentiation in colorectal cancer in much the same ways it does in breast and prostate cancer. Normal colon cells have higher vitamin D receptor concentrations than abnormal or cancerous colon cells."
- James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure
2. "The combination of vitamin D and vitamin A slows prostate cancer cell growth in the lab. Clinical research on activated vitamin D and vitamin D-like molecules in humans shows promise. We know that activated vitamin D alone often slows the growth of prostate tumors, and the different concentrations of vitamin D receptors on cancer cells versus normal prostate cells can help to separate cancer cells from normal cells by growth rates."
- James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure
3. "D deficiency that plagues 80 percent of the American population. Vitamin D deficiency is associated with depression, prostate cancer, breast cancer, osteoporosis and almost every other degenerative disorder. 'The elderly, who spend little time in the sun and use sunscreen agents frequently, may be at risk for vitamin d deficiency,' according to a statement made by the Mayo Clinic."
- Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's a Survival Mechanism
4. "Over 42 percent of Americans suffer from vitamin D deficiency, and 47 percent of pregnant women are severely deficient in this important hormone. Their children tend to have weak bones that break easily, even during their childhood years. Many chronic illnesses are due to vitamin D deficiency, including osteoporosis, cancer, and depression. You cannot stop a vitamin D deficiency by taking supplements. Sunlight is the only real remedy. To make sufficient amounts of vitamin D, dark-skinned people need to spend at least two to three times longer in the sun than do Caucasians."
- Andreas Moritz, The Liver and Gallbladder Miracle Cleanse: An All-Natural, At-Home Flush to Purify and Rejuvenate Your Body
5. "Vitamin D may play an anti-cancer role by slowing cell division. Sunshine is the natural source of vitamin D."
- Dr. Steve Blake, Vitamins and Minerals Demystified
6. "Vitamin D is crucial for the immune system and may play a role in cancer prevention as well."
- Kenneth W Thomas, Ron Gilbert, Gerd Schaller, Side Effects: The Hidden Agenda of the Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel
7. "In 2007, Doctor Cedrick Garland and colleagues, using pooled analyses of available research, estimated that maintaining a vitamin D blood level of 55ng/ml could annually prevent 250,000 deaths worldwide, including 60,000 in the USA." - Marc Sorenson, Solar Power For Optimal Health
8. "I even learned that your own body freely generates the best anti-cancer medicine in the world - vitamin D - a nutrient that's been proven to slash breast cancer risk by an astonishing 50 percent, but only if you get some exposure to natural sunlight or consume vitamin D through fish oils and nutritional supplements.
- Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions
9. "All African Americans have vitamin D deficiency and they consequently have higher rates of cancer. Slathering on sunscreen is not such a good idea. We've gone too far with sunscreen because we're not getting enough vitamin D. This is a 'coming public health disaster in the US.' Everyone should get a half hour of sunshine a day."
- Stacy Malkan, Not Just a Pretty Face: The Ugly Side of the Beauty Industry
10. "Research shows that vitamin D has a variety of important benefits besides lowering blood sugar. It seems to protect against eighteen different kinds of cancers, has a significant positive impact on the immune system in fighting colds and flus, viruses, and TB, and protects against rickets and osteoporosis."
- Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Live 21-Day+ Program
11. "Those not getting sufficient sunshine to meet their vitamin D needs should take a supplement. Vitamin deficiency is epidemic in America, and it contributes not only to the development of osteoporosis but to increased cancer and heart disease as well."
- Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Cholesterol Protection for Life, New Expanded Edition
12. "On the other hand, lack of sun exposure and subsequent vitamin D deficiency kills more than one million people each year. Comparatively, the risk of being harmed by the sun is minimal. The most dangerous of skin cancers, which is melanoma, usually appears in parts of the skin where the sun does not reach at all, or not reach enough. If you have the opportunity, for optimal protection expose your entire body to the sun, including the private parts."
- Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease -- It's A Survival Mechanism
13. "Now it seems as if every month there is a new study documenting the beneficial effects of sunlight and vitamin D, which, as you know, we get from the sun. For instance, in one of these recent studies, researchers at the Moores Cancer Center at the University of California, San Diego (a very sunny place), concluded that almost 150,000 cases of cancer - particularly colorectal and breast cancer - could be prevented each year by just ten to fifteen minutes a day of exposure to sunlight."
- Frank Lipman, Mollie Doyle, Spent: Revive: Stop Feeling Spent and Feel Great Again
14. "Numerous other studies have supported this research, showing that modest unprotected exposure to sunlight helps the body produce the vitamin D it needs to keep bones healthy and protect against cancer, including skin cancer. Yes, you read that right. Of course, repeated sunburns - especially in childhood and in very fair-skinned people - have been linked to melanoma. But there is no credible scientific evidence that moderate sun exposure causes skin cancer."
- Frank Lipman, Mollie Doyle, Spent: Revive: Stop Feeling Spent and Feel Great Again
15. "A study from Finland also confirmed a connection with a deficiency of vitamin D and prostate cancer. People living in northern hemispheres, where the days are dark most of the winter months, could benefit from taking a vitamin D supplement. Don't forget about also taking a whole food supplement to get all your daily requirements of all the essential nutrients."
- Gregory, A. Gore, Defeat Cancer
16. "The net result is, that not getting enough sunlight lowers your vitamin D and serotonin levels and thereby increases your risk of cancer and many other illnesses. Also be aware that most cosmetics now contain UV-blocking chemicals. These include face creams, makeup products, moisturizers, lotions and anti-wrinkle creams. If you feel you absolutely need a sunscreen product because you are unable to avoid the direct midday sun, make sure it has mostly natural ingredients in them."
- Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease -- It's A Survival Mechanism
17. "Doses of 1 micro-gram per day of vitamin D have been shown to reduce blood pressure in hypercalcemic patients. Vitamin D may also be effective against cancer. Results of one nineteen-year long study of 1954 Chicago men which showed that an intake of greater than 3.75 micrograms per day of vitamin D was associated with a 50 percent reduction of colorectal cancer."
- Gary Null, Ph.D., Gary Nulls Ultimate Anti-Aging Program
18. "We know that the skin needs vitamin D, which is produced in response to sunshine. We also know that the skin needs vitamin A. But today man's body has become so degenerated, so filled with mucus, acid toxins, and mineral and vitamin deficiencies that he can't spend a great amount of time in the sunshine. There are many people who develop all kinds of skin conditions from exposure to the sun and then falsely put the blame on sunshine. The sun pulls out the impurities below the skin - trying to purify you. Skin cancers spring from toxic cells."
- Patricia Bragg and Paul C. Bragg, The Miracle of Fasting: Proven Throughout History for Physical, Mental & Spiritual Rejuvenation

FEBRUARY 4 IS WORLD CANCER DAY
Watch What You Eat, Start Exercising and Stop Smoking Cancer is a leading cause of death around the world. WHO estimates that 84 million people will die of Cancer between 2005 and 2015 without intervention. India has approximately 2.5 million cancer cases at any given time.
Oral and Lung Cancer in Males, and Cervix and Breast Cancer in Females account for over 50% of all Cancer Deaths in India.
WHO has estimated that 91 per cent of oral cancers in South-East Asia are caused by the use of tobacco, which is also the leading cause of oral cavity and lung cancer in India.
Cancer usually occurs in the later years of life and with increase in life expectancy to more than 60 years, an estimate shows that the total number of cancer cases in India may increase from 7 lakh cases per year to 14 lakhs by 2026. This is quite alarming, and there is something we can do about this.
Estimated Cancer Cases in India (2007)
Males Females
Oral cavity: 47,947 Cervix: 90,708
Lung: 41,019 Breast: 82,011
Oesophagus: 29,512 Ovary: 30,335
Pharynx: 26,834 Oral Cavity: 24,391
Stomach: 25,842 Oesophagus: 20,127
Out of the total number of deaths caused due to Cancer every year, almost 30% deaths can be prevented. If we pay a little more attention to our lifestyle we can save ourselves from Cancer.
Feb 4th is celebrated as World Cancer Day. This year’s theme for the cause is "Cancer Can be Prevented too". We, at DesiDieter support this cause and are taking a step towards spreading the message across to all our users.
On Feb 4th make sure that you:
Get a Healthy Diet
Stop Smoking
Start Exercising
Be Aware of the Risks
All you have to do is take a step towards a Better and Healthier Lifestyle. DIET AND CANCER: ARE THEY RELATED? CANCER FRIENDLY FOODS:
What we eat and how we treat our bodies on a daily basis have a very powerful effect on our health and quality of life. Fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes all have important nutrients and other cancer-fighting substances like phytochemicals and pectins that strengthen the immune function and destroy cancer-causing substances before they cause harm. Research has shown that people who eat a diet free of animal products, high in plant foods, and low in fat have a much lower risk of developing cancer.
EDIBLE ENEMIES?
It is vital to know that risk for developing cancer can be increased by certain foods. While there are foods that promote good health, there are also others that promote abnormal cell growth and proliferation. Most of these contain carcinogens or agents that promote the abnormal activity.
Staying Healthy Was Never so Easy!
Wishing you Good Health and a Good Life!

Doctors develop life-saving, low-cost ventilators for emergency, rural and military use
Doctors develop life-saving, low-cost ventilators for emergency, rural and military use: "A group of UK anaesthetists have designed and tested three prototype low-cost ventilators that could provide vital support during major healthcare emergencies involving large numbers of patients or casualties. The devices, detailed in a paper published online by Anaesthesia, could also be used where resources are limited, such as in developing countries, remote locations or by the military."
