Click here to read the Article Summary... Let’s talk about your gut flora and cancer! You may not realize just how important your bowel condition (known as the microbiome) is to cancer prevention. Spoiler Alert: Gut Health is Critical A friend of mine recently pointed out an article in Bloomberg’s Business News that shows mainstream science is finally catching on to what I’ve been saying for a decade about gut health! The results of their data shocked the researchers with Roche AstraZeneca, but I wanted to do a face-palm! Your good gut flora will help you prevent and fight cancer. That’s a fact. Cultivating beneficial gut bacteria is your first line of defense against cancer and many other serious diseases. It does this by boosting your immune system at the places you’re almost always hit first with − toxins, heavy metals, parasites, fungi, and harmful bacteria. Nurturing the system that protects you from so many layers of possible invasion of foreign contaminants should be common sense. But you’d be shocked how many in the medical community don’t recognize the importance of the gastrointestinal system in total health. The man who heads up Roche’s cancer immunotherapy research, Daniel Chen, said, “Five years ago, if you had asked me about bacteria in your gut playing an important role in your systemic immune response, I probably would have laughed it off.” And so many have, again and again, while doctors like me wanted to shake them and yell, “How can you not understand the science of this? How can you not see the connection between gut health and cancer (and heart disease, neurodegenerative disease, chronic pain…)?” The Role of Your Immune System Against Cancer In order to boost the immune system, to prevent cancer (and so much more), you need to boost your colony of good gut flora. You let your bowels fight cancer. You let them be your “boots on the ground!” Research from the University of Chicago found that boosting mice gut bacteria (specifically with Bifidobacterium) equaled the results of immunotherapy (using your body’s immune system to attack cancer) in slowing the growth of melanoma cancer cells! They then combined the two (gut bacteria and immunotherapy) modalities and achieved success that was comparable to anti-cancer drugs. Another study referenced in the Bloomberg article was one from France. Researchers noted that some healthy gut flora was activated when immunotherapy was administered. We’re talking about fighting cancer without destroying all the healthy cells in your body! Using your own body to fight for you − not creating a nuclear wasteland of your healthy cells (and absolutely leveling your immune system). Gut health and cancer prevention go hand in hand. I’ve been shouting this from the rooftops since the 1980s while getting shut down by the medical and pharmaceutical establishments. It appears that mainstream scientists and doctors are finally seeing that there are better ways to fight cancer than destroying your entire body in the process. The Supremacy of Your Gut Flora in the Fight Against Cancer The human microbiome is an incredible network of 100 trillion organisms that live in and on the body. They’re made up of beneficial bacteria as well as fungi, viruses, and bacteria that isn’t so beneficial. We need this microcosm to survive. The relationship between them and the humans who carry them is symbiotic in nature. Antibiotics disrupt this relationship in a similar way that chemotherapy affects the human body. Chemotherapy wipes out perfectly healthy, non- cancerous cells inside you along with the cancerous cells. Similarly, antibiotics wipe out all bacteria (the bad kind as well as the good kind you can’t live without). For years, I’ve pointed to the overuse of antibiotics as a leading cause in the rise of cancer cases. Destroying what keeps you healthy simply isn’t a good method of treatment.
