Hello and welcome to
Health for a Lifetime.
00:00:51.16\00:00:53.58
I'm Don Mackintosh and
today we're joined with
00:00:54.57\00:00:57.14
Dr. Clarence Ing who
is a physician at the
00:00:57.15\00:00:59.88
Weimar Institute in California,
00:00:59.89\00:01:01.55
welcome Dr. Ing.
It's great to be here Don.
00:01:01.56\00:01:04.13
Today we're going
to talk about a subject
00:01:04.52\00:01:06.04
that's strikes fear in
the hearts of many when
00:01:06.05\00:01:07.89
they first here that
word and that word is cancer.
00:01:07.90\00:01:10.49
What is cancer? Why should we
00:01:11.22\00:01:12.25
be concerned with it?
00:01:12.26\00:01:13.25
Well, cancer is a
disease that most people would
00:01:13.82\00:01:16.69
rather avoid myself included.
00:01:16.70\00:01:18.72
But, cancer basically
it's a group of about a
00:01:19.79\00:01:22.23
100 diseases and
it's related or caused,
00:01:22.24\00:01:26.02
related to two things,
one is the cell instead
00:01:26.03\00:01:29.78
of going to with
the regular size or
00:01:29.79\00:01:31.24
normal size and
then stop and grow,
00:01:31.25\00:01:32.84
it grows larger
then it should be.
00:01:32.85\00:01:35.69
And then the next
thing is the cell goes to,
00:01:36.41\00:01:39.95
move to parts of the
body where it doesn't belong.
00:01:39.96\00:01:42.42
So, basically cancer is
one of these two things.
00:01:42.97\00:01:45.52
Cell grows larger
then it should be,
00:01:45.53\00:01:47.10
and it travels to
places where it shouldn't be.
00:01:47.73\00:01:49.26
And this is what
causes, this is what cancer
00:01:50.01\00:01:52.51
is all about. And this
involves various parts of
00:01:52.52\00:01:55.21
the body, can
involve the brain, the lung,
00:01:55.22\00:01:57.68
the kidneys, the
stomach you know the
00:01:58.56\00:02:00.87
gastrointestinal tract
other parts of the body.
00:02:00.88\00:02:02.51
So, that's what cancer is about.
00:02:03.05\00:02:04.31
Now the question is
why do we get cancer.
00:02:04.99\00:02:07.41
Why do so many
people have cancer,
00:02:08.61\00:02:10.27
is there anything
that we can do to the lower
00:02:10.28\00:02:11.92
our risk with
cancer in the lifestyle?
00:02:11.93\00:02:13.73
And the answer is yes there is.
00:02:14.30\00:02:15.45
Well taking
someone like yourself,
00:02:16.72\00:02:17.94
you are from China
originally your family is,
00:02:17.95\00:02:20.41
is that correct?
Right. And I know that the
00:02:20.42\00:02:22.19
rural Chinese at least
I've been led to believe
00:02:22.20\00:02:25.34
they don't have as
much as incident of cancer.
00:02:25.35\00:02:27.73
Why is that we have
more cancer in America? Well
00:02:27.74\00:02:29.62
I think that is
related again to our lifestyle,
00:02:30.22\00:02:33.63
and the parts of our
lifestyle it's particularly
00:02:34.23\00:02:36.23
relate to I
believe our diet. And our
00:02:36.24\00:02:39.18
activity levels,
and we find that on the
00:02:39.19\00:02:43.15
typical American
diet or standard American
00:02:43.16\00:02:46.08
diet you will
notice that the acronym for
00:02:46.09\00:02:48.84
Standard American Diet
is SAD which means SAD.
00:02:48.85\00:02:52.32
And it really is kind
of sad in many respects
00:02:53.12\00:02:55.69
as far as nutrition
goes, but the standard
00:02:55.70\00:02:58.00
American diet is high in
fat. It's high in refined
00:02:58.01\00:03:01.60
foods, it's high in
sugar and it's high in protein.
00:03:01.61\00:03:04.53
And the fat and the
protein in the American
00:03:05.23\00:03:07.83
diet primarily come
from animal sources.
00:03:07.84\00:03:10.11
Which then increases
the risk of certain types of
00:03:10.93\00:03:13.01
cancers. It's
interesting that as we read the
00:03:13.02\00:03:16.50
medical literature
we find that there seems
00:03:16.51\00:03:19.26
to be a relationship
between meat and certain
00:03:19.27\00:03:21.46
type of cancers.
When you cook meat,
00:03:21.47\00:03:24.16
one of the, when
you cook meat you form
00:03:25.02\00:03:27.04
something called
heterocyclic aromatic
00:03:27.05\00:03:29.31
amines. What's that?
00:03:29.32\00:03:30.95
Well that's a big
word, but this big word seems
00:03:31.53\00:03:33.90
to be related, it's a
Carcinogen and it increases
00:03:33.91\00:03:37.36
the risk for
certain types of cancers.
00:03:37.37\00:03:39.39
Possibly breast
cancer, colon cancer and
00:03:39.91\00:03:42.62
prostate cancer. And
well, what's the best way
00:03:42.63\00:03:46.28
to avoid this in cooking meat,
00:03:46.29\00:03:48.50
well I guess the best
way to avoid it is not
00:03:48.51\00:03:50.72
to cook the meat
and not to eat the meat.
00:03:50.73\00:03:53.10
But, of course some
people say but you know doc,
00:03:54.46\00:03:56.49
I can't live without my meat.
00:03:56.50\00:03:58.21
The other interesting
thing is that we find
00:03:58.89\00:04:02.12
that may of the ways
of cooking meat produce
00:04:02.13\00:04:04.94
carcinogens, an
example is charcoal broiling
00:04:04.95\00:04:08.24
meats, like
charcoal broiled steaks or
00:04:08.89\00:04:10.88
hamburgers whatever they maybe.
00:04:10.89\00:04:12.43
When you charcoal broil
the food, the fat melts,
00:04:13.34\00:04:16.21
it falls down into
the charcoal and burns,
00:04:16.22\00:04:18.46
it forms a chemical,
a very potent chemical
00:04:19.21\00:04:21.64
called Benzopyrene.
From 3 ½ ounces of meat
00:04:21.65\00:04:26.04
charcoal broiled,
you would get the same
00:04:26.78\00:04:28.86
amount of
benzopyrene as you would get
00:04:28.87\00:04:30.75
from the smoking 60 cigarettes,
00:04:30.76\00:04:33.73
wow! Now you may not smoke,
00:04:33.74\00:04:35.28
but if you have
that charcoal broiled
00:04:35.29\00:04:36.67
hamburger or
steak, you're getting
00:04:36.68\00:04:38.75
the benzopyrene. So,
if you're going to eat
00:04:38.76\00:04:40.70
meat and you're
going to cook it,
00:04:40.71\00:04:42.32
what's the best
thing to do, bake it?
00:04:43.77\00:04:45.18
It's, no, because
baking produces another
00:04:45.85\00:04:48.35
carcinogen called Malonaldehyde.
00:04:48.36\00:04:51.65
What would you do?
Well it's the best way to,
00:04:53.41\00:04:55.48
if you are gonna eat it I mean.
00:04:55.49\00:04:56.63
If you are going
to eat the safest way
00:04:56.64\00:04:58.20
that I know of or I
like to put the least
00:04:58.21\00:05:01.80
dangerous way that
I know of is to use
00:05:01.81\00:05:03.64
it in soups or in
stews. Because if you go out
00:05:03.65\00:05:06.77
and you have you fry your meat,
00:05:06.78\00:05:08.82
well when you fry
your meat you form some
00:05:09.78\00:05:12.30
other compounds,
one of them is called
00:05:12.31\00:05:13.90
Nitrosamine when you fry a meat.
00:05:13.91\00:05:15.93
And another one is
methylcholanthrene.
00:05:16.55\00:05:19.39
These are some carcinogens that
00:05:20.07\00:05:21.66
are formed when
you fry the meat.
00:05:21.67\00:05:23.21
So, all those
Hibachis, these all those things
00:05:23.82\00:05:25.75
we see in the
backyard where people are
00:05:25.76\00:05:27.40
sitting around there
and they have that nice
00:05:28.11\00:05:29.12
bed of charcoal,
that's like smoking
00:05:29.13\00:05:31.61
60-100 cigarettes each time you
00:05:31.62\00:05:33.39
eat a piece of meat like that.
00:05:33.40\00:05:34.70
Yes, if it's 3 ½
ounces that's equivalent
00:05:34.71\00:05:37.49
of you can eat same
amount of Benzopyrene
00:05:37.50\00:05:39.96
as you would from
smoking from 60 cigarettes.
00:05:39.97\00:05:42.31
What about fish?
Fish, it's gonna be same
00:05:42.32\00:05:44.89
if the fat melts and
falls into the charcoal,
00:05:44.90\00:05:47.20
so there again like I
said the least dangerous
00:05:48.36\00:05:52.05
way of preparing your
meat is to make it into
00:05:52.06\00:05:56.87
soups or stews. If
you fry the meat and
00:05:56.88\00:06:01.74
it's burned or their
again you have problem
00:06:01.75\00:06:04.59
with carcinogens.
You know it's interesting
00:06:04.60\00:06:07.16
that many years
ago a gray wise lady
00:06:07.17\00:06:12.06
had something to say
about that, she says,
00:06:12.72\00:06:14.73
animals are becoming
more and more diseased
00:06:14.74\00:06:16.57
and it will not be
long until many besides
00:06:16.58\00:06:19.03
Seventh-day
Adventists, you know discarded
00:06:19.04\00:06:21.49
or stop eating them.
It's interesting that
00:06:21.50\00:06:24.91
in the United
Kingdom, England when mad
00:06:24.92\00:06:29.15
cow disease first
become apparent in well
00:06:29.16\00:06:33.42
was in 1986 is when
it started to appear in
00:06:33.43\00:06:37.07
human beings or a
form or variant of this,
00:06:37.08\00:06:39.88
more and more people
were becoming vegetarians.
00:06:41.74\00:06:44.27
In fact when I was in
Asia last year someone
00:06:45.17\00:06:48.19
brought me a
cartoon from a newspaper in
00:06:48.20\00:06:51.13
Hong Kong, Hong
Kong at this time they
00:06:51.14\00:06:53.68
would had a
problem with something
00:06:53.69\00:06:55.18
I think they
called like the red tide,
00:06:55.19\00:06:57.53
they would had the chicken flu,
00:06:58.15\00:06:59.39
they had heard
about mad cow disease and
00:06:59.97\00:07:01.82
they thought on
the cartoon was may be
00:07:01.83\00:07:03.75
I should become a vegetarian.
00:07:03.76\00:07:05.57
And I really think
that that's probably good
00:07:06.73\00:07:09.54
advise when you think
of the risk from disease,
00:07:09.55\00:07:12.65
because as we eat
meat and fish and chicken
00:07:13.36\00:07:17.52
which contain
cholesterol and extra protein
00:07:17.53\00:07:20.92
that we need, it also
increases our risk for
00:07:20.93\00:07:22.56
heart disease, for
diabetes, for high blood
00:07:22.57\00:07:26.33
pressure as well as cancer.
00:07:26.34\00:07:28.01
So, the same diet
that causes or sets people
00:07:28.69\00:07:31.04
for cancer sets
them up for many of these
00:07:31.78\00:07:33.99
other diseases,
well let me just ask you
00:07:34.00\00:07:37.14
a question that
might make some people
00:07:37.15\00:07:38.52
a little uncomfortable
a lot of people that
00:07:38.53\00:07:40.70
are what would you
call lacto-ovo vegetarians
00:07:41.25\00:07:43.88
they feel very
comfortable with everything
00:07:43.89\00:07:45.09
you have said, they
feel the doctor is on
00:07:45.10\00:07:47.31
my side is there
anything else these people
00:07:47.32\00:07:49.88
should worry
about, should we move
00:07:49.89\00:07:54.81
away from other things as well.
00:07:54.82\00:07:56.09
Well when we study
we'll start with eggs first,
00:07:56.86\00:07:59.45
as we looked at
eggs we find that eggs
00:08:01.07\00:08:04.01
even uncracked
eggs have been a source
00:08:04.57\00:08:07.10
of a type of
salmonella calls Salmonella
00:08:07.11\00:08:09.63
Enteritidis and this
can cause food poisoning,
00:08:09.64\00:08:12.78
and even an
uncracked egg is definitely if,
00:08:12.79\00:08:15.04
when you buy the
egg if it's cracked it's
00:08:15.65\00:08:17.99
something that
you should not use.
00:08:18.00\00:08:20.42
And the other thing
is with the egg you also
00:08:21.04\00:08:23.77
have the problem of
the yolk which contains
00:08:23.78\00:08:26.32
the cholesterol.
And the average egg yolk
00:08:26.33\00:08:29.31
contains probably
somewhere as between
00:08:29.32\00:08:31.26
200 and 225
milligrams of cholesterol.
00:08:31.27\00:08:34.47
And you know that's
much more cholesterol
00:08:36.10\00:08:38.46
then we really need.
There is really only one
00:08:38.47\00:08:40.76
time in life when
we need cholesterol in
00:08:40.77\00:08:43.24
our food and that's
right after the baby is born.
00:08:43.25\00:08:45.89
And the best place
to get that cholesterol
00:08:46.44\00:08:47.92
is when the baby
nurses their mother's breast.
00:08:48.71\00:08:50.89
You know what they say what,
00:08:50.90\00:08:52.24
breast milk is best,
and it's really true and
00:08:53.71\00:08:56.62
interestingly
enough that human milk has
00:08:56.63\00:09:01.03
more
cholesterol then cow's milk.
00:09:01.04\00:09:04.43
And that's the way
the good Lord designed us.
00:09:05.01\00:09:06.73
So, when the baby
nurses it's mother's breast,
00:09:06.98\00:09:08.62
it gets the cholesterol
it needs for the normal
00:09:09.30\00:09:11.18
development of human brain.
00:09:11.19\00:09:12.64
Then after the child
has been weaned you know
00:09:13.60\00:09:15.61
at 1 1/2 , 2 years of
age there is no further
00:09:16.29\00:09:18.78
need to have
cholesterol in the diet.
00:09:18.79\00:09:21.21
Interesting, so
besides avoiding red meats
00:09:22.86\00:09:26.85
and chicken and
fish you mentioned.
00:09:26.86\00:09:29.06
Are there any other
things we need to be
00:09:29.63\00:09:30.78
aware of when we're trying to
00:09:30.79\00:09:33.46
prevent this disease of cancer.
00:09:33.47\00:09:35.44
Well, you know
talking about fish,
00:09:36.28\00:09:38.81
just a little bit
of background on fish,
00:09:38.82\00:09:41.10
it's interesting
that in the Great Lakes
00:09:41.75\00:09:44.33
in the United States,
the Health Departments
00:09:44.34\00:09:48.28
advise people, if a
lady is pregnant she
00:09:48.29\00:09:52.23
should never during
her pregnancy eat any of
00:09:52.24\00:09:55.53
the fish caught in those lakes.
00:09:55.54\00:09:56.93
You say well why
is this you know,
00:09:57.64\00:09:58.84
aren't the fish okay?
Well the fish maybe alive
00:09:58.85\00:10:02.67
and they maybe
swimming but in their flesh
00:10:02.68\00:10:05.36
are gonna be
found different types of
00:10:05.37\00:10:07.01
chemicals and other
environmental toxins
00:10:07.02\00:10:10.50
and things which
are produced PCBs, lead,
00:10:10.51\00:10:12.50
other things which are
far less than desirable.
00:10:13.15\00:10:15.26
And if a person is
not pregnant you know say
00:10:15.71\00:10:18.37
a male or children
they say they should only
00:10:19.14\00:10:21.69
eat fish caught
from those from the
00:10:21.70\00:10:23.46
Great Lakes maybe
two or not more than
00:10:23.47\00:10:25.61
three times per
month. And the serving again
00:10:25.62\00:10:29.26
would not be a large serving,
00:10:29.27\00:10:30.55
it be like 3
ounces, because of the
00:10:30.56\00:10:33.21
environmental
pollution. So, we know that
00:10:33.22\00:10:35.91
this happens and even
fish caught in the middle
00:10:35.92\00:10:39.43
of the ocean. The
people who go out,
00:10:39.44\00:10:42.25
go fishing for
these and when they bring
00:10:43.01\00:10:44.16
these in, the
people who process the
00:10:44.17\00:10:47.09
fish they have to
sample the fish and check
00:10:47.10\00:10:50.10
them for different
types of heavy metals
00:10:50.11\00:10:53.22
like mercury and so
on. And if they find these
00:10:53.23\00:10:55.83
present they're not
supposed to sell them.
00:10:55.84\00:10:57.79
So, fish then are sort
of like a magnet for things
00:10:59.38\00:11:01.41
that not so helpful for us.
00:11:01.42\00:11:02.62
Yes this is very
true because fish serve
00:11:03.35\00:11:05.99
as a form of
concentrating what's
00:11:06.00\00:11:08.46
found in
environment. You may start with
00:11:08.47\00:11:10.58
something in
environment that has maybe
00:11:10.59\00:11:12.56
200th part per
million but then this is
00:11:13.70\00:11:16.29
concentrated, this then
gets into the plant life,
00:11:16.30\00:11:20.23
smaller fish eat the
plants, the bigger fish eat
00:11:21.31\00:11:23.36
the smaller fish. And
the larger fish eat the
00:11:23.37\00:11:26.13
ones they had
eaten the smaller fish,
00:11:26.14\00:11:27.53
and this can
concentrate these poisons and
00:11:28.17\00:11:30.78
other things and
the larger fish up to a
00:11:30.79\00:11:32.64
million types more,
then was found in the water.
00:11:32.65\00:11:35.43
The other thing is
if sewage or industrial
00:11:36.62\00:11:40.28
waste is
discharged into the water,
00:11:40.29\00:11:42.14
they find that they are
more fish in these areas
00:11:42.75\00:11:45.54
that have cancer and
tumors. And this is a
00:11:46.13\00:11:49.29
unfortunate, a
relatively common practice
00:11:50.49\00:11:52.55
in the world to
discharge sewage and industrial
00:11:52.56\00:11:55.43
waste into lakes
and streams and bodies
00:11:55.44\00:11:57.97
of water. They're
trying to control that and
00:11:57.98\00:12:00.16
change that now.
But, unfortunately it
00:12:00.17\00:12:02.61
doesn't happen fast enough.
00:12:02.62\00:12:04.18
Another interesting
thing that probably most
00:12:05.25\00:12:07.70
Americans don't
realize is that in the
00:12:07.71\00:12:11.13
United States
every year, there are
00:12:11.14\00:12:14.52
approximately 9
billion animals that are
00:12:14.53\00:12:18.13
slaughtered for food.
But, these 9 billion animals
00:12:18.14\00:12:21.61
produce
tremendous amount of waste,
00:12:21.62\00:12:23.67
and that's 5000
pounds for every man,
00:12:24.65\00:12:27.98
woman, and child
in the United States.
00:12:27.99\00:12:30.83
Wow! Which if you
figure that out comes
00:12:30.84\00:12:32.73
out to 1 trillion 250
billion pounds of waste
00:12:32.74\00:12:37.42
and that has to
be disposed of and
00:12:38.00\00:12:40.04
it always isn't, it
isn't always disposed of
00:12:40.58\00:12:42.51
properly and causes a problem.
00:12:42.52\00:12:44.22
What happens if you
have a big say like a big
00:12:45.66\00:12:49.53
pig farm near a river,
and there is a heavy rain
00:12:49.54\00:12:53.14
and the waste flood
your land, your property
00:12:53.15\00:12:56.57
and it runs over into the river,
00:12:56.58\00:12:57.75
well then the river or
a steam that's nearby is
00:12:58.35\00:13:00.53
enriched and it
pollutes everything downstream.
00:13:00.54\00:13:03.03
And this happens
time and time again in
00:13:03.92\00:13:05.33
certain parts of the
United States where they
00:13:05.34\00:13:07.11
have these large,
what we call factory farms.
00:13:07.12\00:13:09.91
So, looking at
cancer, then we look at macro
00:13:10.43\00:13:13.53
issues big things
that many times we don't
00:13:13.54\00:13:16.26
thing about, we've
talked about external
00:13:16.27\00:13:19.08
factors like
chemicals, we've talked about
00:13:19.09\00:13:21.11
how those are then
you know packaged if
00:13:22.10\00:13:26.08
you will by the
animals that eat them,
00:13:26.09\00:13:27.75
and then we eat them.
We've talked about some
00:13:27.76\00:13:29.24
of these other
things like pig farms and
00:13:29.25\00:13:33.59
what not, when we
come back I want to ask
00:13:33.60\00:13:37.87
some specific
questions about how can
00:13:37.88\00:13:39.87
someone who is
watching today know whether
00:13:39.88\00:13:41.36
they're developing cancer,
00:13:41.37\00:13:42.80
and then what to do
about it to avoid that,
00:13:43.55\00:13:46.08
reverse it or whatever when we
00:13:46.09\00:13:48.39
come back after this break.
00:13:48.40\00:13:50.82
Have you found
yourself wishing that you
00:13:59.90\00:14:01.35
could shed a few
pounds, have you been on
00:14:01.40\00:14:03.55
a diet for most of
your life, but not found
00:14:03.60\00:14:05.96
anything that will
really keep the weight off,
00:14:06.04\00:14:08.11

answered yes to any of these
00:14:08.65\00:14:10.38
questions then we have

Welcome back
we've been talking with
00:15:07.27\00:15:08.92
Dr. Clarence Ing,
Weimar Institute. They have an
00:15:09.30\00:15:12.89
exciting program
there that deals with cancer
00:15:12.98\00:15:15.48
some of the things we
are talking about today.
00:15:15.51\00:15:17.30
Dr. Ing, you were
talking about dietary fat
00:15:17.54\00:15:20.25
in cancer, why don't we just
00:15:20.39\00:15:21.61
pickup where you left off?
00:15:21.63\00:15:22.80
Well, something
interesting in relation to
00:15:23.29\00:15:25.43
that, I've been
interested in this in especially
00:15:25.58\00:15:28.06
because of my own
family history. Really my
00:15:28.08\00:15:31.25
father's side of the
family because my father was
00:15:31.36\00:15:34.80
one of 16 children
and he was a physician,
00:15:34.86\00:15:37.81
he had 11 brothers
and he had 4 sisters,
00:15:37.82\00:15:40.35
wow! One sister,
they were born in Hawaii,
00:15:40.41\00:15:43.54
their parents came from
China they lived in Hawaii.
00:15:43.59\00:15:45.88
One sister died
from cancer of the ovary.
00:15:46.36\00:15:48.95
And another sister died
from cancer of the breast.
00:15:49.28\00:15:51.80
Two sisters died
from, excuse me two brothers
00:15:52.46\00:15:56.02
died from cancer of
the colon, that's four now.
00:15:56.03\00:15:58.85
Another brother had
cancer of the colon that
00:15:59.23\00:16:01.42
was removed and he
died from a massive heart
00:16:01.53\00:16:04.46
attack, but all of this
is related to eating animal
00:16:04.54\00:16:07.05
fat in protein,
because of that history my
00:16:07.15\00:16:11.27
father's physicians
said, now you need to go
00:16:11.44\00:16:13.72
down and have an
special exam called
00:16:13.75\00:16:15.37
sigmoidoscopy to
check the colon disease if
00:16:15.49\00:16:17.94
there is any cancer.
And so my father listened,
00:16:18.07\00:16:21.58
he did it, and right in
the examination they found
00:16:21.63\00:16:24.98
a little growth called
polyp, which is commonly
00:16:25.06\00:16:28.52
found and right on
the tip of the polyp is
00:16:28.53\00:16:30.32
cancer just getting
started. That was removed,
00:16:30.42\00:16:33.38
part of the bowel was removed.
00:16:33.71\00:16:35.23
My father is very
fortunate, he lived another
00:16:35.32\00:16:37.62
18 years didn't
died from cancer.
00:16:37.77\00:16:39.98
But, in that family
there were 6 siblings out
00:16:40.15\00:16:43.37
of 16 who had
cancer. Now I had a brother
00:16:43.41\00:16:46.86
who is 2 years
younger then I'm, and we
00:16:46.97\00:16:50.49
grow up on a
Standard American Diet, SAD,
00:16:50.64\00:16:54.03
sad. High in fat, high
in animal protein in fat.
00:16:54.41\00:16:59.13
My brother never
reached the age of 28,
00:16:59.47\00:17:02.32
he was a
physician, and from what I now
00:17:02.33\00:17:05.37
have realized through
studying nutrition and
00:17:05.38\00:17:08.42
cancer and so on. I
believe that if my brother
00:17:08.43\00:17:12.48
and I had been raised
like, my children were
00:17:12.61\00:17:15.93
raised, on a Plant
Based Diet, there is a very
00:17:16.08\00:17:18.11
good chance that my
brother might still be
00:17:18.14\00:17:19.69
alive today and he
would not have died from
00:17:19.72\00:17:22.12
cancer. I've had
other friends with somewhat
00:17:22.24\00:17:26.24
similar history,
father had colon cancer,
00:17:26.30\00:17:28.50
person didn't want
to be a, chose not to be
00:17:29.31\00:17:32.57
a vegetarian. Chose
to eat, you know meat
00:17:32.58\00:17:35.33
and fish and chicken,
not a lot. And eventually
00:17:35.41\00:17:37.73
this individual had
came done with colon cancer
00:17:37.80\00:17:41.96
and eventually succumbed
to it. If you've got the
00:17:42.02\00:17:44.79
risk you really need to
make appropriate changes.
00:17:44.80\00:17:48.35
So, the things that
you are starting today
00:17:48.46\00:17:49.89
on just good science
they also strike your heart
00:17:50.01\00:17:53.28
and they say hey, if
you don't listen on the
00:17:53.47\00:17:56.04
level of just
intellect today. Listen on the
00:17:56.15\00:17:58.21
level of someone who's lost
00:17:58.82\00:18:00.75
significant people,
right, in their life.
00:18:00.87\00:18:03.16
You know there's many
people like that who have
00:18:03.40\00:18:05.17
lost family members
from one of these diseases.
00:18:05.29\00:18:07.94
Lets talk a
little bit about that,
00:18:08.92\00:18:10.38
lets talk about our
families and what we can
00:18:10.46\00:18:13.68
be looking for in
ourselves and our family
00:18:13.78\00:18:15.77
members that are
warning sings for cancer.
00:18:15.81\00:18:18.76
You know maybe
someone today is listening
00:18:19.13\00:18:20.64
says I might have
cancer, I'm not sure.
00:18:20.76\00:18:23.81
What are some other warning sign
00:18:23.84\00:18:25.05
that could be looking for?
00:18:25.16\00:18:26.36
Okay one of them
is if you a persistent
00:18:26.50\00:18:28.84
hoarseness or a
cough. If we have a cough
00:18:29.30\00:18:32.22
that lasts more than a month,
00:18:32.28\00:18:33.94
I really encourage
you to check with your
00:18:34.43\00:18:36.12
physician and be
evaluated, especially if
00:18:36.20\00:18:39.31
you have a past
history of begin a smoker,
00:18:39.32\00:18:41.44
but even if you
don't if you've got a
00:18:41.56\00:18:43.25
persistent cough
that doesn't go away and
00:18:43.30\00:18:45.13
just hangs in there.
Then you really need to
00:18:45.14\00:18:47.77
be evaluated and
have that considered.
00:18:47.78\00:18:50.50
Nowadays with the flu
that's been going around,
00:18:51.31\00:18:53.47
I must admit that I
have to listen and you
00:18:53.55\00:18:58.45
know I may not
otherwise send those people
00:18:58.48\00:19:00.06
for an x-ray if
they've had the flu recently
00:19:00.19\00:19:01.86
because I have found
that now patients who
00:19:02.01\00:19:04.04
have the flu some
times they will have a
00:19:04.07\00:19:06.09
cough that persists 4,
or 5, 6, 7 and 8 weeks.
00:19:06.15\00:19:09.42
But, if you don't
have that history and you
00:19:10.03\00:19:11.52
suddenly start
coughing and that cough
00:19:11.53\00:19:13.23
doesn't go away. Go
see your physician and
00:19:13.25\00:19:15.63
it maybe wise to
get a chest x-ray.
00:19:16.25\00:19:18.91
Another one is unusual
and sudden weight loss.
00:19:19.36\00:19:22.43
Most people would
be happy to loss weight
00:19:22.81\00:19:24.42
but if you weren't
trying to loss weight and
00:19:24.45\00:19:26.96
all of a sudden you
found you lost weight and
00:19:26.97\00:19:29.52
there is no real
reason why, you didn't change
00:19:29.56\00:19:31.75
your activity level.
You didn't change your food
00:19:31.80\00:19:34.12
intake and you suddenly
find you're losing weight.
00:19:34.18\00:19:36.11
You need to find out
why this is important.
00:19:36.41\00:19:38.61
If you find any blood
present in the stool or
00:19:39.34\00:19:43.50
if you see any blood
in your urine, this is not
00:19:43.51\00:19:46.85
normal. You need to
find out why, and don't say
00:19:46.92\00:19:49.72
well I'm gonna
wait till it goes away.
00:19:49.81\00:19:51.30
No, go see your
doctor, and find out why that's
00:19:51.36\00:19:54.07
present because it
should not be there.
00:19:54.16\00:19:55.84
If you have a change
in a mole, say a mole it
00:19:56.46\00:20:00.39
gets larger, it changes
color or it maybe a sore
00:20:00.77\00:20:05.02
that doesn't heal,
you need to find out why,
00:20:05.05\00:20:07.58
that's something
that needs to be.
00:20:07.72\00:20:08.98
You need to pay
attention to. Unusual bleeding
00:20:09.17\00:20:12.21
or discharge from
any part of the body say
00:20:12.22\00:20:14.60
if we start to bleed
from a place, in the ear,
00:20:14.67\00:20:17.39
the nose or some
other part of the body and
00:20:17.40\00:20:19.65
it continues to
believe, don't ignore it,
00:20:19.77\00:20:22.23
go see your doctor.
If you find a lump some
00:20:22.36\00:20:25.43
place in our
body, and seems to be
00:20:25.57\00:20:28.69
you know you never
noticed that before
00:20:28.89\00:20:30.33
especially if it seems
to be getting larger and
00:20:30.38\00:20:32.81
especially for
ladies they should do self
00:20:32.98\00:20:35.01
breast examination if
they find a lump in their
00:20:35.07\00:20:37.06
breast. Please go
have that evaluated,
00:20:37.18\00:20:39.42
this is very
important. And if you have any
00:20:39.62\00:20:42.56
trouble, you know
you have indigestion that
00:20:42.66\00:20:44.95
seems to persist or you
have trouble swallowing,
00:20:45.08\00:20:48.81
change in bowel
or bladder habits.
00:20:49.63\00:20:52.06
For example if a
person normally has a bowel
00:20:52.07\00:20:54.89
movement everyday,
but the suddenly find
00:20:54.94\00:20:56.83
that they are
constipated. They don't
00:20:56.92\00:20:58.23
have a bowel movement everyday.
00:20:58.34\00:21:00.14
There is something
abnormal there and or if
00:21:00.74\00:21:03.52
you get diarrhea that
persists, I remember a
00:21:03.57\00:21:05.89
patient who come to
my office when I was
00:21:06.04\00:21:09.16
working in Singapore, a
man came in and he said,
00:21:09.17\00:21:12.28
well you know doc
he said, I have had
00:21:12.44\00:21:15.70
diarrhea now and
I've had this for about a
00:21:15.71\00:21:17.98
month. So, I asked
him about his history and
00:21:18.05\00:21:20.39
he says well a
month ago, I was having a
00:21:20.40\00:21:22.66
problem of the
constipation. So I went to
00:21:22.82\00:21:24.36
see another
physician and he give me some
00:21:24.47\00:21:27.98
medicine and since
then I've had diarrhea.
00:21:28.01\00:21:30.25
So, I examined the
patient and did a rectal
00:21:30.83\00:21:33.53
examination, felt
what I could thing feel was
00:21:33.60\00:21:35.85
like a little mass
and so I send him for
00:21:35.93\00:21:38.29
further tests and he
had a cancer growing in
00:21:38.36\00:21:40.90
his rectum. So, again
change in bowel or bladder
00:21:40.98\00:21:46.05
habits you need to
find out why because
00:21:46.16\00:21:48.15
they shouldn't
change in persistent like
00:21:48.30\00:21:51.02
that, that's a important sign.
00:21:51.15\00:21:52.61
Well, lets just repeat
those for the folks and
00:21:52.90\00:21:55.04
then we gonna on
maybe talk about how we
00:21:55.20\00:21:57.48
can prevent even
getting it. You mentioned
00:21:57.51\00:22:00.65
no if you have a
cough or hoarseness,
00:22:00.70\00:22:03.74
if you have unusual
or sudden weight loss,
00:22:04.66\00:22:06.46
right. Blood
present in the stool,
00:22:06.74\00:22:08.74
obvious change in
the mole, change in bowel
00:22:09.12\00:22:12.15
or bladder habits, a
soar that doesn't heal,
00:22:12.16\00:22:15.42
a thickening of a
lump in the breast or else
00:22:17.36\00:22:19.65
where and unusual
indigestion. Those were
00:22:19.69\00:22:24.57
the elements
that we talked about.
00:22:24.61\00:22:26.36
And unusual
bleeding or discharge
00:22:26.47\00:22:28.25
from any part
of the body, right.
00:22:28.42\00:22:30.10
So, if any of those
things are happening you
00:22:30.11\00:22:31.96
need to get checked
out ASAP really? Right.
00:22:31.97\00:22:35.13
Lets go on next and
talk about how we can
00:22:36.20\00:22:38.63
reduce the risk of
ever developing this.
00:22:38.78\00:22:41.55
Well the exciting thing
is you can eat right to help
00:22:42.27\00:22:47.81
you lower your risk,
because many times many
00:22:47.90\00:22:50.34
of diseases that we
have are related to what
00:22:50.36\00:22:52.51
we eat. So, if it's
eating the wrong types of
00:22:52.64\00:22:55.81
food that got us into
the problem or increased
00:22:55.85\00:22:57.90
our risk. If we can eat
the right types of foods
00:22:57.91\00:23:00.49
that will
certainly decrease our risk.
00:23:00.50\00:23:02.36
So, what are types
of food we should eat?
00:23:02.42\00:23:04.25
Well, we wanna eat
less fat, especially animal
00:23:04.45\00:23:09.45
fat. So, we're
willing to go to a Plant based
00:23:09.56\00:23:12.59
diet that's really
gonna go a long way
00:23:12.63\00:23:14.46
towards helping
lower our fat intake.
00:23:14.50\00:23:16.51
Going towards the
plant based diet is also
00:23:17.05\00:23:19.16
going to increase our
fiber intake and this is
00:23:19.18\00:23:21.75
good. The other thing
is that there are many
00:23:21.94\00:23:24.89
things that are found
in fruits and vegetables
00:23:24.98\00:23:28.68
that seem to be
protective. And if we're
00:23:28.74\00:23:31.76
not on a total
plant based diet, far too
00:23:31.91\00:23:34.21
often we find that
the average American with
00:23:34.31\00:23:37.28
their meat and
potatoes diet. Or the diet that
00:23:37.29\00:23:40.60
includes fast foods and
other things, doesn't get
00:23:40.77\00:23:42.94
enough fruits and
vegetables. You know they
00:23:43.05\00:23:46.01
recommend that
between 5 and 9 servings
00:23:46.07\00:23:49.36
of fruits and
vegetables everyday.
00:23:49.37\00:23:51.49
And if I'm eating
fried chicken and hamburgers
00:23:51.89\00:23:55.25
and roast prime ribs
and pork chops and things
00:23:55.27\00:23:58.16
like this, I'm just
not gonna get enough fruits
00:23:58.20\00:24:00.29
and vegetables.
Because fruits and vegetables
00:24:00.40\00:24:02.30
decrease our risk for
many different cancers
00:24:02.44\00:24:04.85
like breast
cancer, prostate cancer,
00:24:04.92\00:24:07.22
colon cancer, and
they're very protective in
00:24:07.51\00:24:11.04
this sense because
there are things that are
00:24:11.21\00:24:13.15
found in the fruits
and vegetables that lower
00:24:13.23\00:24:15.32
our risk for them.
We call these substances
00:24:15.35\00:24:18.11
phytochemicals,
that's something that is
00:24:18.69\00:24:22.10
applies to these
protective elements that
00:24:22.13\00:24:24.25
are found in
these types of foods.
00:24:24.34\00:24:25.97
So, we can
actually protect ourselves
00:24:28.33\00:24:30.18
from
developing, any other things
00:24:30.21\00:24:31.76
that we wanna avoid to.
00:24:31.80\00:24:33.73
Well something else
that I think is important
00:24:34.12\00:24:35.72
to avoid in lowering
your risk for cancers
00:24:35.80\00:24:37.87
I believe think you
should avoid alcohol at total
00:24:38.23\00:24:40.65
length completely,
that's something that's not
00:24:40.74\00:24:42.87
healthful. And
another thing that you should
00:24:42.95\00:24:45.00
avoid completely and
totally I think is tobacco
00:24:45.07\00:24:49.40
or nicotine in any
form, that's something else
00:24:49.42\00:24:51.58
that's better left
out of our lifestyle,
00:24:51.69\00:24:54.06
because there's a
large group of cancers that
00:24:54.30\00:24:58.15
are related to the
lung and the respiratory
00:24:58.19\00:25:01.65
trap that are in the
mouth that are related
00:25:02.19\00:25:04.76
to tobacco.
People may not smoke,
00:25:04.81\00:25:06.97
but those who chew
tobacco increase their
00:25:07.07\00:25:09.22
risk for oral
cancer, cancers of the mouth
00:25:09.30\00:25:12.00
and the tongue. So,
if we can avoid those
00:25:12.03\00:25:14.41
things by avoiding
tobacco, alcohol and low
00:25:14.50\00:25:19.95
eating a plant
based diet we can probably
00:25:20.08\00:25:22.08
lower our risk for
almost all cancers by 70
00:25:22.11\00:25:26.10
to 80 percent and
that is really good news.
00:25:26.18\00:25:29.65
Can we help people
that already have cancer?
00:25:29.85\00:25:31.80
Yes we can, if the
people have cancer even
00:25:32.50\00:25:35.71
by going to a plant
based diet we're gonna help
00:25:35.72\00:25:38.63
them lower their risk
of recurrence of the cancer
00:25:38.64\00:25:41.20
assuming they get
rid of the cancer when
00:25:41.27\00:25:44.47
they first had it.
And hopefully help to,
00:25:44.52\00:25:47.72
if there is cancer
left, hopeful them to avoid
00:25:47.89\00:25:50.94
the cancer growing
larger and you know
00:25:51.86\00:25:55.35
reoccurring. So, again
I still thank that going
00:25:55.41\00:25:59.48
to a totally plant
based diet, lower fat diet,
00:25:59.55\00:26:02.03
increasing the activity
level, exercise is another
00:26:02.39\00:26:04.88
important facet of
helping to lower the risk
00:26:04.92\00:26:08.11
for cancer because
people who exercise
00:26:08.13\00:26:10.84
regularly not only
have lower blood pressures,
00:26:10.97\00:26:14.67
lower blood sugars,
lower risk for heart disease,
00:26:14.76\00:26:17.29
but they have lower
death rates in cancer
00:26:17.34\00:26:19.17
and all diseases.
So, again it's very
00:26:19.19\00:26:22.35
interesting, one of
the studies that was done,
00:26:22.40\00:26:25.05
showed the increased
of the activity of the NK
00:26:25.88\00:26:27.76
cells by 40 percent,
the NK cells are the ones
00:26:27.96\00:26:31.55
that go out and destroy the
00:26:31.66\00:26:32.63
cancer cells and
this is very helpful.
00:26:32.69\00:26:34.84
So, the exercise increases that?
00:26:34.92\00:26:36.60
Activity of the NK
cells which lowers their risk
00:26:37.30\00:26:39.45
for cancer.
Should we eat cabbage?
00:26:39.57\00:26:41.16
Cabbage is great,
broccoli is great, cauliflower.
00:26:41.88\00:26:44.51
You know your
cabbage family vegetables,
00:26:44.88\00:26:46.69
your cruciferous
vegetables are good.
00:26:46.79\00:26:48.62
And those that are
rich in, your orange
00:26:49.02\00:26:51.92
and yellow pigments
like your yams and sweet
00:26:52.03\00:26:55.10
potatoes, peaches,
papayas, cantaloupe,
00:26:55.29\00:26:59.33
things like this, tomatoes these
00:26:59.41\00:27:00.94
are all good for you.
00:27:01.08\00:27:02.09
We've been talking Dr.
Clarence Ing from Weimar,
00:27:03.27\00:27:07.21
California. Where
he works in a cancer
00:27:07.34\00:27:10.01
prevention program
and also reversal of,
00:27:10.09\00:27:13.51
if you have
problems along that line.
00:27:13.66\00:27:16.20
What you've shared
with us today doctor has
00:27:16.62\00:27:18.10
been most helpful
and I hope that as we've
00:27:18.20\00:27:22.11
listened we can make
decisions that will lead
00:27:22.20\00:27:25.62
to health not just
for a day, but health for
00:27:25.69\00:27:29.08
a lifetime. Thank
you for joining us
00:27:29.09\00:27:31.35
and have a great week.
00:27:31.56\00:27:32.53
