A Rad Radiologist

Day 10-

 We can reduce these cancer rates - breast cancer, prostate cancer, colon cancer - by 90 percent or more by people adopting what I call a nutritrarian diet. -Joel Fuhrman


What made my radiologist so rad? 

She took one full hour to talk through my diagnosis and then the majority of our visit was a discussion of exercise and diet. I have never had such a thorough conversation about diet with any doctor. And, she was so excited about my twenty-two pound weight loss. She made my ability to reverse my course seem possible and very likely.



Here are some highlights.

Exercise, seven days a week for 45 minutes can make a real difference in prevention of reoccurrence of breast cancer. Why?

The exercise moves the blood around, strengthens the immune system, reduces insulin growth factor 1, and helps fight fatigue.

Removing excess sugar from the diet will reduce insulin growth factor 1.

Cancer feeds off dietary cholesterol. Red meat and eggs are really high in cholesterol and insulin growth factor 1. WHO announced in 2015 that red meat is a carcinogen equal to breathing asbestos.

A whole food, plant based diet provides the best protection against breast cancer.

Soy got a bad wrap years ago. In the Sanghai Breast Study eating soy regularly was shown to reduce risk of breast cancer.
Kaiser, a west coast Insurance Company, did the same study and came up with the same results. Here are some links for further research.



This information brought a new level of control to my outlook on the future. I was ready to make a real change in my health habits.



An Asian way of eating and living may help prevent and even reverse the progression of coronary heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, obesity, prostate cancer and breast cancer. Incorporate more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, soy products and fish in your diet. Eat at home more with your family and friends.-Dean Ornish
