A devastating new report commissioned by the National Cancer Institute reveals that our 40-year long 'War on Cancer' has been waged against a vastly misunderstood 'enemy,' that in many cases represented no threat to human health whatsoever.
Imagine being told you have cancer, undergoing invasive treatments, and living with the side effects, only to later discover that your cancer would have never caused any symptoms or threatened your life. This is the reality for countless men diagnosed with prostate cancer, falling victim to the epidemic of overdiagnosis.
A new John Hopkins Medicine research study "proved" that the primary cause of cancer was bad luck. Is it, or are diet, environment or unhealthy habits part of this equation as well?
Lymph node removal is a common practice in conventional breast cancer treatment. But is it medically necessary?
I don’t know what’s worse: a product full of GMOs and chemically-derived additives that proudly lauds its healthfulness and humanitarian benefits, or, a manufacturer that blatantly hides the fact they are using GMO ingredients by keeping them off the label?

For decades, we've been bombarded with the message that cow's milk is a wholesome, healthy food essential for strong bones and a fit body. But what if this pervasive belief is not only misguided but actually dangerous? A growing body of research suggests that conventional cow's milk, far from being a health elixir, may be a toxic substance linked to a disturbing array of illnesses and disorders.
Cancer overdiagnosis is one of the most serious and dangerous problems in medicine today
Imagine a health crisis so vast it affects 1.5 million Americans each year, yet remains largely hidden from public view. This is the reality of diagnostic errors and overdiagnosis in the United States, a two-pronged problem that new research suggests is far more pervasive and harmful than previously understood.

Flaxseed has remarkable therapeutic properties, with over 50 potential applications in the prevention and treatment of disease, as documented in the peer-reviewed biomedical literature itself* Flaxseed's role in breast cancer is one of the more compelling areas of research, considering this is the #1 form of cancer afflicting women today, and that most women still equate "prevention" with subjecting themselves to annual breast screenings involving highly carcinogenic 30 kVp...
Could the humble guava tree growing across the tropics harbor healing answers to cancers afflicting both wealthy and impoverished nations? Extensive research suggests so.

PSA screening for prostate cancer has been a failed medical experiment leaving behind 1 million male victims treated unnecessarily for a type of prostate cancer that was clinically insignificant, providing little or no benefit in terms of lives saved.
Imagine a future where the key to defeating cancer's most resilient cells lies not in a high-tech lab, but in the plants around us.
Should we be looking for disease in people who don't have any symptoms? A large new study indicates the answer is NO.
