Is it possible to reverse the effects of all this garbage or can you only prevent them if you’re lucky enough to have never fallen prey to begin with?

Thanks!!! I’m a big fan of organics.

I’ve been hearing bad stuff about diary – links to diabetes, something about the proteins…what’s the scoop on dairy?

Hey Anne,
Let me clarify. Children have enzymes and derive some from food. They complex system that produces the chemicals needed to bind with pesticides doesn’t fully develop until they are near 10. Just like the digestive energy isn’t fully developed until around 7-10 years of age. This doesn’t mean they don’t have enzymes. It just means we don’t have a fully working system when we drop in.
As far as the cancer comment it is just one of many explanations for how cancer develops and survives to make it easier for people to understand.
DNA becomes damaged and because of a lack of nutrients needed to run the repair mechanisms it can become cancerous. It’s now the immune systems job to clear it out and yes sometimes the cells can be very well disguised. The immune system is often your first and last defense against everything including cancer.

Hi Roger,
Just a couple questions. How do children manage without enzymes until they are 10? Could you clarify?
Also, I had this comment from a friend. “Cancer is caused by DNA errors that side-step growth regulation and convince the cell not to report itself to the immune system. Cancer doesn’t mean your immune system isn’t working; it means the cells are sick but not turning themselves in.”
Would you comment on why the immune system is important in the case of cancer?
Thanks!

Sadly it is also the meat that is GMO. According to CFIA “In the USA, there are about 600 animal clones—mostly beef cattle. It is unlikely that they will be headed to market as they are too expensive to produce. Instead, they are being used for breeding stock and the industry has a voluntary moratorium for clones entering in the food supply. The sexually reproduced offspring of the clones are the animals that may enter the food supply. There is no method to tell meat products from the offspring of cloned animals apart from animals derived from traditional breeding.”

Thanks. The article succinctly makes many of the points that I don’t have the technical expertise to make when I discuss this. I’ll be forwarding it on to several … along with a recommendation that they join your email list.

I think this is super and perfect timing; we have had so many people ‘fight’ us on this and it’s nice to have it laid out in plan English that we can share with our clients.
Thanks
