You have probably heard of the saying “you are what you eat”. Well, in case you didn’t know, this really is the truth.

It was nearly 40 years ago when President Nixon announced a war on cancer. Since then over $1 Trillion dollars has been pumped into Cancer research and yet today more people die from cancer than ever before.

It is not only cancer that has become one of the biggest killers of our time. Heart disease actually kills more people each year than cancer does.

Even with all the money and advancements in technology, hospitals still use chemotherapy and Radiology as their main treatments for cancer and the cure rate is still less than 3%.

So if we look at this honestly and use common sense, we have to come to the conclusion that something else is causing so many people worldwide to suffer from Cancer and heart disease.

I remember as a boy, people spoke of cancer as being hereditary, something that ran in the family. Today, we know that is not the truth, as it is difficult to find someone who doesn’t know of someone who has either had cancer or died from it!

I believe the truth is that cancer is a man-made sickness caused from a lack of nutrients and trace minerals in our diets.

We only have to look at the depletion of nutrients in our soil and compare it to the rise in cancer and heart disease to see that both are connected. 100 years ago most people died from transmittable disease or poor hygiene, today most people die from heart disease or cancer.

With food demands worldwide increasing, our farms are under pressure to deliver. No longer do we let fields lie “fallow” in order to replenish the soil. Damns have been built to prevent fields from flooding, this used to be a way to allow the soil to increase the nutrient and mineral content.

Progress has helped our lives in many ways, but we have failed to look at the consequences of our actions and failed to put measures in place to correct them.

Dr. Linus Pauling, winner of two Nobel Prizes, once stated, “Every disease and every illness can be traced to mineral deficiency”. Baring this in mind is becomes obvious to anyone that a lack of minerals in the food we eat is directly responsible for the increase in cancer and heart disease worldwide.

So what can we do? We can’t just put more nutrients and minerals into our soil to improve the quality of our food.
Millions of people of course go to their physicians who are more than willing to write prescriptions to treat their symptoms. The Pharmaceutical industry makes BILLIONS of dollars each year meeting the needs of ordinary people who do not know better. The truth is, they make money from us getting sick. Imagine if we didn’t get sick? Do you think that would affect their business in some way? You are damn right it would!

We have to find other ways to get the vital nutrients and minerals our bodies need to fight infection and disease. We simply cannot use drugs, which are of course toxic, to help us overcome disease. We have to return to nature and give the body a chance to heal itself.

All Doctors and scientists agree that the human body has the power to heal itself. So why are we not doing what everyone believes in?

Supplements have become a multi-billion dollar a year business as more and more people turn to supplements to help improve their health. Unfortunately, many of the supplements on the market are synthetic and have absolutely no benefits apart from making your urine very expensive. Natural bio-available supplements are the only way forward for us, and the only possible way we can give our bodies a chance.

Millions of dollars over the last ten years has been invested and spent on scientific research into two “new” natural ingredients. Most people have never heard of them, but the results from scientific tests show us that these two superfoods are the way forward to helping people help themselves.

Humic Nutrients are great deposits of soil that have been sealed away from pollution for thousands and thousands of years. This has locked in their nutrients and trace minerals allowing us to return to nature as it was hundreds of thousands of years ago.

Research has proven that Humic Nutrients are powerful at removing toxins from your body, and one of the most potent immune systems boosters known to man. It’s anti-viral properties are what make it so different though. In January 2002, it was found to be effective against the three main influenza viruses, according to the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the auspices of the National Institutes of Health, August 2001 - January 2002.

Ecklonia Cava Sea Kelp, or ECE for short, was found to be the main reason why the people of the island of Okinawa had a ratio of 100 people out of every 100,000 living to be older than 100 years. Compared to the USA where less than 10 out of every 100,000 lived to be 100 years old.

Published research shows that this superfood has antioxidant properties 24 times stronger than any other known anti-oxidant to man. With the anti-oxidants working in your body for up to 12 hours, as opposed to 30 minutes from other land or plant based anti-oxidant fruits, not only is it more effective, but also a lot cheaper!

ECE has also shown to be helpful against allergies, inflammation of the joints, helps memory and alertness, improve sexual performance and even improve blood circulation; this powerful superfood is a true wonder ingredient.

Aloe Vera is famous for its own healing attributes of course, but what most people do not realize is that this tropical plant also helps the body absorb other nutrients up to 400% faster. Along with the natural 75 nutritional components, 20 minerals, 18 amino-acids and 12 vitamins, Aloe Vera is another wonder ingredient that can really help us help ourselves.

Remember, you really are what you eat, and unless you make a change and give your body a chance, you could easily eat your way to cancer.
