In The Spirit Of Preventing Cancer with Lynne Eldridge, M.D.

MP3 Download

The overall mortality rate from cancer hasn't changed in 60 years despite the billions invested to find a cure. There's hardly a family in America that has not been affected by this dread disease. You may have lost a family member, a friend, a significant other, or a colleague at work. There's much that can be done to prevent and/or cure cancer. Medical Doctor and researcher, Lynne Eldridge tells us that research shows that 80 to 95% of cancers are environmentally caused. She points out, "Right now we are spending 25% more than any other country on the planet in healthcare. We are number 42 in life expectancy. Even if we were spending 300% more, does that mean we are going to get there? . . . We are disease oriented here instead of wellness oriented." Avoiding and/or preventing cancer as well as fostering optimal health serves as the focus for this conversation. (hosted by Michael Toms)
