Dr. William Li on Angiogenesis & the Antiangiogenesis diet....to starve cancer!

If you have 20 minutes - invest it in watching this video from the Angiogenesis Foundation. Dr. Li loses his mike(sound) at 15 minutes in and then regains it but it is great information- life altering I believe.

If you can not invest 20 minutes now..this was taken from the Dr. Oz show:

Disturbing new research suggests that microscopic cancer, small cancer cells that can only been seen under a microscope, is widely prevalent. A recent study of women in their 40s indicated that 40% of them had microscopic breast cancer. Even more shocking, almost 100% of people in their 70s will have microscopic cancer in their thyroid glands.
A microscopic tumor can grow up to 16,000 times its original size in as little as 2 weeks. But new groundbreaking research from The Angiogenesis Foundation proposes that you can stop cancer before it begins to grow. This new preventive approach is called anti-angiogenesis. To learn more about anti-angiogenesis and the groundbreaking research at The Angiogenesis Foundation. Anti-angiogenesis encourages that, by changing the way you eat, you can change your “internal environment,” thereby depriving cancer cells the opportunity to grow and multiply.

Certain foods, eaten in the correct portions and frequency, can provide cancer-starving benefits. Below are 5 foods to eat that can prevent cancer growth:

1.Bok Choy This type of Chinese cabbage contains brassinin; a powerful cancer-fighter, also found in broccoli, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts. Bok Choy should be eaten 3 times a week, in 1/2 cup servings to obtain its full benefits.

2.Cooked Tomatoes have more cancer-fighting properties than raw tomatoes. Both contain the molecule lycopene, but heating the tomato changes its chemical structure and makes the benefits more readily available to your body. You should eat 2-3 (1/2 cup) servings of cooked tomatoes a week.

3.Flounder This fish is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and low in mercury. Three 6-ounce servings a week is ideal.

4.Strawberries The antioxidants in this berry help fight cancers. You should eat 1 cup a day, including the juice.

5.Artichokes contain 3 different cancer-fighting molecules. Enjoy ¼ cup of hearts per day.

So many ways to help Strength for Life....

From a dear friend regarding why her two daughters and their friend raised $$$ for Strength for Life with a lemonade stand - proudly wearing Strength for Life tees borrowed from Mom (wish I was savvy enough to convert a cell phone pix to jpeg).

"We had gone to my sister in laws house to see my niece. She is 29 and was diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. She has to have a radical mastectomy and chemo. She has a one and half year old beautiful son who really needs her. She is an awesome person.
When my girls came home they said that they wanted to make a donation to a charity that deals with cancer. What better organization than yours to be the recipient of the lemonade stand."

Please send prayers out to Jillian, and pray that she makes a speedy recovery.
