Natural Products for Cancer Prevention/Management (18)

Lutein

Lutein is found in many natural products including corn, grapes, orange, broccoli, and zucchini.  It is one of the major carotenoids found in human eyes and has been used for eye protection or to help prevent eye diseases.  Although more positive evidence is needed, lutein has been used to lower the risks of colon cancer, and breast cancer.  Women with high lutein content in their diets have been shown to have lower rates of breast cancer.

Epicatechin

Cocoa, the major ingredient of dark chocolate, contains relatively high amounts of epicatechin, a polyphenol. It is well known that polyphenols are naturally derived compounds with a number of health benefits. In animal studies, Polyphenol-enriched fruit extracts containing epicatechin exhibited a significant anti-allergic effect in animal studies. Some reports indicate that epicatechin can be a cancer preventive agent and maybe used as an adjuvant for chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

How I fought against my pancreatic tumor, IPMN

"HOW I FOUGHT AGAINST MY PANCREATIC TUMOR"
To be published in March of 2017


Maybe you have heard about a pancreatic tumor called IPMN. If not, you could learn a thing or two from this book. IPMN is an abbreviation for Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasm. If left untreated, IPMN could become malignant pancreatic cancer.

In October of 2015, it was discovered that I had IPMN. Out of desperation, I set out to follow a "crazy" dietary plan. One year after this "crazy" dietary plan, my pancreatic IPMN was gone. I was pleasantly surprised and decided to write down my experience to share with people who might be interested.

As you may know, I am a cancer researcher with more than 30 years of experience in discovery and development of anticancer agents. My experience gave me a lot of knowledge about anticancer agents, including those from natural products; my dietary plan might be crazy, but not without merit.

To share the info with people who may be interested in this topic, I just started an Indiegogo campaign. By joining this campaign, you'll receive this book about IPMN. If you contribute more, you could also receive additional books related to cancer. The net proceeds (100%) after all expenses will be donated to the American Cancer Society.

Please visit my Indiegogo.com campaign and share this campaign with your friends.
