How Free Radicals Cause Cancer & Disease...Your Remedy
by Denis Van Loan, D.D.S.New Life Enterprises LLC
Cancer, arthritis, diabetes, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and heart disease all are associated with inflammation. Free radical damage of the mitochondria inside your body cells is a huge factor. When there is inflammation there is cellular damage and oxidative damage to the DNA, which is the genetic code of the cell. Weak and damaged cells cause disease.
Doctors who have researched the subject of degenerative diseases sum up the problem best.
"We know that most degenerative diseases are limited to free radical damage."... James Balch, M.D. Cancer, arthritis, diabetes, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and heart disease all co-relate with inflammation. Free radical damage of mitochondria is a huge factor. When there is inflammation there is cellular damage and oxidative damage to the DNA which is the genetic code of the cell.
Another researcher, Dr. Denham Harmon, said the following more than a half a century ago: "A single common process, modifiable by genetic and environmental factors, was responsible for ageing and death of all living things." This is truer today because of the increased assaults on your body and its genetic code. Disease is produced by damaged DNA and inflammation.
There is a proliferation of toxic chemicals and substances that attack the mitochondria and the nuclear DNA of every cell in your body. Cancer is a prime example of this. If you study a microscopic slide of cancer cells you will see bizarre, irregular, tumor cells. Most of the time, they are so changed in their appearance they are nearly unidentifiable from the original, normal cell. The healthy DNA has changed.
An interruption of the reproductive code of your body cells produces sick and unhealthy cells that cause disease and shorten your life.
Nearly everyone knows the term "carcinogen" is associated with cancer. What this means is certain substances, chemicals can cause alteration of healthy cells and turn them into cancer cells.
In the vernacular, the mitochondria and genetic code of the cells get "screwed up". This spawns a misfit, rogue cancer cell. If enough of these cancer cells proliferate and multiply, a tumor develops. (anti-oxidants assist in preventing this)
There is a limit to what the body can handle in detrimental foreign substances. On a daily basis your body takes in toxins in the form of air, water, food and absorbable foreign substances that tax organs of elimination like the lungs, liver and kidneys.
Your body handles toxins each day, eliminating chemicals and foreign substances. Unfortunately our modern environment sometimes overwhelms your body with a huge overburden of substances that are carcinogeniccancer causing.
There are, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), 80,000 toxic chemicals that you are exposed to in the United States. These foreign substances include, but are not limited to herbicides, pesticides (4 billion lbs. in the U.S.A. per year), mercury, cadmium, aluminum, lead, solvents, asbestos, preservatives, trans fats, prescription drugs, cleaning agents, inhaled smoke and auto exhausts, cosmetics, ammonia, artificial food products and unidentified biochemical pollutants.
Cardiologist, author, nutritionist, Dr. Stephen Sinatra says that over 350 different pesticides can be found in our food supply. Approximately 300 various harmful substances are found in most blood samples.
These products cause inflammation and even genetic aberrations that can produce cancer and other degenerative diseases.
Certain substances, chemicals, are what cause alteration of healthy cells and turn them into sick or even cancer cells.
Prevention is the key to health. This means reducing your exposure to impure water and air. Do not allow toxic chemicals to be inhaled or come in contact with your skin. They tend to have a cumulative effect, causing disease later. Diet is a huge factor in the process.
Anti oxidant vitamins like A, C, and E help counter toxins. Ubiquinol CoQ-10 is proving to be a powerful anti oxidant and heart healthy supplement. Reduction or elimination of packaged and prepared foods as well as excesses of sugar, fried foods and artificial foods is important. (these are foreign substances).

They tend to have a cumulative effect, causing disease later. Diet is a huge factor. Fresh fruits and vegetables, shown more rich in anti oxidants in study after study, are far superior to canned and preserved ones. German researcher and enzyme expert, Dr. Anthony Cichoke calls canning "the enzyme death house". Many enzymes, co-factors, organic catalysts and phytonutrients make fresh foods superior to canned or preserved foods.
Dr. Van Loan gathers health information from over 17 sources (newsletters, websites & published books) on the latest research about alternatives that are cost effective and proven better for health than mainstream drug treatments. Numerous well controlled studies are cited in his writings. He has websites and blogs on heart disease and migraine headaches.
