The following
program presents principles
00:00:01.98\00:00:02.95
designed to promote good
health and is not intended
00:00:02.96\00:00:05.03
to take the
place of personalized
00:00:05.06\00:00:06.59
professional care. The
opinions and ideas expressed
00:00:06.62\00:00:09.93
are those of the
speaker. Viewers are encouraged
00:00:10.27\00:00:12.85
to draw their own conclusions
00:00:12.88\00:00:14.24
about the information presented.
00:00:14.27\00:00:15.83
Welcome to Wonderfully Made.
00:00:36.34\00:00:37.64
I'm your host Claudio
Japas, I'm happy to be with you.
00:00:38.06\00:00:40.63
I'm a Doctoral Student
at Loma Linda University
00:00:40.66\00:00:43.88
in the Preventive Care Program.
00:00:43.91\00:00:45.26
Today, we will be
talking about a topic
00:00:45.85\00:00:48.25
that affects everyone cancer.
00:00:48.28\00:00:50.86
Cancer is all
around us and even though
00:00:51.62\00:00:53.08
we would prefer to talk
about the healthy things
00:00:53.11\00:00:55.50
sin has put us calm,
thus pandered on human beings.
00:00:55.53\00:00:58.74
And we have to
talk about the diseases.
00:00:59.53\00:01:01.53
Joining me is Dr. Dos Santos.
00:01:01.71\00:01:03.73
He is a professor at
Loma Linda University
00:01:03.76\00:01:06.06
in the
Preventive Care Program also
00:01:06.09\00:01:07.83
and I'm happy to
have you with me today.
00:01:08.25\00:01:10.05
Thank you very much
it's a pleasure to be here
00:01:11.08\00:01:12.81
and talk about
this important topic.
00:01:12.84\00:01:15.62
I believe we can say for
sure that every single family
00:01:15.65\00:01:21.08
that we know in this
country and why not say around
00:01:21.11\00:01:24.60
the world have one case
of cancer in the family.
00:01:24.63\00:01:28.06
So, we've all been
affected by cancer one way
00:01:28.98\00:01:30.86
or another maybe
not in our family,
00:01:30.89\00:01:32.14
but our neighbor
or friend or somebody
00:01:32.17\00:01:33.77
you know. What is cancer though?
00:01:33.80\00:01:36.43
Cancer is development of is
when a cell develop too fast
00:01:36.88\00:01:43.10
and grow too fast beyond
the normal growth pattern
00:01:43.13\00:01:49.85
and this is because
the identity of the cell
00:01:50.62\00:01:53.70
is altered in better
terms or in more scientific
00:01:53.73\00:01:59.36
terms is DNA of the
cell that is altered
00:01:59.39\00:02:02.89
by any reason and this
cells start growing abnormal.
00:02:03.20\00:02:07.23
Cancer is more
then 100 diseases.
00:02:07.86\00:02:10.63
It's spread in
different organs of the body.
00:02:11.85\00:02:14.10
So, it's basically a
cell doing what is not suppose
00:02:14.78\00:02:17.47
to do. Almost we
could simplify to that point
00:02:17.50\00:02:20.34
or do producing in the
way it's not suppose to.
00:02:20.37\00:02:22.50
And it happens to everyone.
00:02:23.18\00:02:26.15
So, is a something
that if we wait long enough
00:02:26.18\00:02:28.11
will happen
everybody will acquire?
00:02:28.14\00:02:30.51
Well depends on the lifestyle.
00:02:32.04\00:02:34.32
Sometimes you have
mechanisms in your body
00:02:34.35\00:02:38.93
that will fight and
will kill the erratic cell,
00:02:38.96\00:02:42.52
cancer cell. And then
you don't have the cancer,
00:02:42.55\00:02:45.91
so I would say that
everyone has cancer cells
00:02:45.94\00:02:48.83
and depends on how
you develop your lifestyle
00:02:49.34\00:02:51.77
you will have cancer or
not. For a cell to become
00:02:51.80\00:02:56.57
a cancer cell it
takes, it takes about 10 years
00:02:56.60\00:02:59.88
to develop these
mechanisms. Right.
00:03:00.52\00:03:03.66
And then the cell
will grow abnormally
00:03:03.69\00:03:07.58
and form tumors and
then the erratic behavior
00:03:07.61\00:03:11.23
gets worse and the
cell lose identity with the
00:03:11.26\00:03:14.86
local part that they
are and try to invade,
00:03:14.89\00:03:18.27
go to the circulation
and invade other tissues.
00:03:18.30\00:03:20.77
That something we want to avoid.
00:03:20.80\00:03:22.61
We wanna keep the
cells from invading from
00:03:22.64\00:03:25.39
reproducing the
necessarily from going,
00:03:25.42\00:03:27.74
where it doesn't need
to go. What is, is their
00:03:27.77\00:03:30.59
anything new that
we know about cancer?
00:03:30.62\00:03:31.98
Cancer has been
around for a while,
00:03:32.01\00:03:33.44
so what are the some
of the latest findings
00:03:33.47\00:03:35.36
or anything new
that we can learn today.
00:03:35.39\00:03:37.77
I would like to start
with the old about cancer.
00:03:38.75\00:03:42.29
Okay, fair enough, fair enough.
00:03:42.32\00:03:43.36
And then I have a special
message here with this tie.
00:03:43.39\00:03:46.62
That smoking is a still
the main cause of cancer.
00:03:47.21\00:03:50.63
Is smoking is
related, so if can show
00:03:51.14\00:03:53.92
you a graphic on that
you see that the smoking
00:03:53.95\00:03:57.46
is related to
several different cancers
00:03:57.49\00:03:59.87
as you see in this picture.
00:03:59.90\00:04:01.52
And 30% of the cancers
are caused by smoking is still
00:04:01.90\00:04:06.78
and the interesting part
on the slide is that some of
00:04:06.81\00:04:12.13
the cancers are
far away from the lungs
00:04:12.16\00:04:14.52
like Pancreas and
Kidney and Bladder,
00:04:14.55\00:04:19.93
so those are
organs that are not close
00:04:19.96\00:04:22.26
to the smoking, is smoke.
00:04:22.29\00:04:24.73
Where you would think it
would be directly affected,
00:04:24.76\00:04:27.39
yes, yes, yes, where
the smoke is going in right.
00:04:27.42\00:04:29.79
The Larynx, Esophagus, Lungs.
00:04:29.82\00:04:32.57
So, we are happy
that in many countries
00:04:33.07\00:04:35.00
there is a very strong
campaign against smoking.
00:04:35.03\00:04:37.91
Because this is
still the major cause of
00:04:38.35\00:04:41.94
cancer and heart disease.
00:04:41.97\00:04:44.33
Right, so you share a
little about the old and
00:04:44.99\00:04:47.43
about cancer still
being the number one killer,
00:04:47.46\00:04:49.36
but you still I
don't think have shared the
00:04:50.14\00:04:52.23
new part or any new
parts that you may know?
00:04:52.26\00:04:54.69
Yeah the new
part about cancer is
00:04:55.62\00:04:57.87
its relationship with the food.
00:04:57.90\00:05:01.24
It looks like the
other 30% of cause of cancer
00:05:01.27\00:05:06.36
related to food. One side
is the prevention and another
00:05:06.39\00:05:11.11
side is the excess
calorie that we consume starting
00:05:11.14\00:05:16.44
when we are kids and
then in the adult life too.
00:05:16.47\00:05:20.46
So, I can show you
another slide, another graphic
00:05:21.18\00:05:26.07
that shows the relationship
of obesity and cancer.
00:05:26.10\00:05:29.71
As you see in the
graphic obesity is related
00:05:30.40\00:05:33.61
to a series of
cancers like in the Esophagus,
00:05:33.64\00:05:36.58
Intestines,
Gallbladder, Breast, Pancreas,
00:05:36.61\00:05:39.72
Uterus and Kidneys.
00:05:39.75\00:05:41.36
Dr. Dos Santos why,
why this group of areas.
00:05:41.78\00:05:45.72
I can discuss when at
a time like for instance
00:05:45.75\00:05:49.76
Esophagus cancer. The
lower part of the esophagus
00:05:49.79\00:05:53.87
if receives acid from
the stomach can be irritated
00:05:54.39\00:05:59.18
and then this increase the
risk of cancer in that part
00:05:59.21\00:06:02.26
and this is caused
because of too much fat in the
00:06:02.76\00:06:05.90
abdominal part that
will pressure the stomach up
00:06:06.51\00:06:10.08
and then the
esophagus will have this,
00:06:10.71\00:06:13.05
this incidence of cancer.
Also obesity will increase
00:06:13.08\00:06:20.85
the production of
estrogen and then will increase
00:06:20.88\00:06:24.14
the risk of cancerous
female type of cancer like
00:06:24.17\00:06:28.37
breast and uterus and ovarian.
00:06:28.60\00:06:30.97
And then the third cause
would be increase of insulin
00:06:31.00\00:06:35.10
and that's an interesting thing.
00:06:35.13\00:06:36.91
Because once you
remember in metabolic syndrome
00:06:36.94\00:06:40.18
you have an increase
production of insulin
00:06:40.21\00:06:42.94
and the insulin will cause
lot of problem as an insulin
00:06:43.33\00:06:46.79
is a cancer promotion
agent and will increase
00:06:46.82\00:06:50.38
one of the
causes of this cancer is
00:06:51.06\00:06:53.49
because of high
levels of insulin.
00:06:53.52\00:06:55.38
Very interesting,
so keeping the fat off
00:06:55.41\00:06:59.89
is one of the best ways
to decrease risk of cancer
00:06:59.92\00:07:03.87
in those specific areas
we have been taking about.
00:07:03.90\00:07:06.37
Another topic on cancer
or another area of cancer
00:07:07.65\00:07:10.61
is the fruits and
vegetables. You know,
00:07:10.64\00:07:13.24
here five a day and
those change periodically
00:07:13.27\00:07:15.96
to other names, but eating
lots of fruits and vegetables
00:07:15.99\00:07:19.06
decreases the risk of cancer.
00:07:19.09\00:07:21.41
Some people say well by
increasing calories through
00:07:22.02\00:07:24.46
fruits thus
increasing my calories or
00:07:24.49\00:07:27.31
maybe gaining
weight is this true?
00:07:27.34\00:07:29.59
Theoretically you are
right. Some fruits have high
00:07:31.87\00:07:36.04
calorie content, but I
don't believe that the epidemic
00:07:36.07\00:07:39.70
of obesity and
overweight that we have around
00:07:39.73\00:07:42.37
is caused by excess of fruits.
00:07:42.40\00:07:45.31
Is cause by
excess of something else
00:07:46.07\00:07:47.98
that you know
high fat, high sugar?
00:07:48.01\00:07:50.20
Junk foods. Yeah,
00:07:50.23\00:07:51.75
that's a cause of this epidemic.
00:07:51.78\00:07:55.16
On the other hands,
fruits are very protective
00:07:56.10\00:07:59.03
against cancer. We
can see in the graphic
00:08:00.28\00:08:03.42
that several types of
cancers can be protected
00:08:04.01\00:08:08.65
if you eat more fruits
and you see in the graphic
00:08:09.39\00:08:13.93
that cancer of the mouth,
larynx, pharynx, esophagus,
00:08:13.96\00:08:18.86
lungs, stomach,
intestines, and prostate can be
00:08:18.89\00:08:22.59
prevented for just
eating more fruits in your diet.
00:08:22.62\00:08:26.28
Right, so eating the fruits
has more beneficial factors.
00:08:26.92\00:08:30.81
So, we should eat our
fruits and eat our vegetables
00:08:30.84\00:08:33.90
because antioxidants
they are actually low calorie
00:08:33.93\00:08:36.81
food items like. God
created that we should enjoy
00:08:36.84\00:08:39.82
as much as possible
and eating a lot of food,
00:08:39.85\00:08:43.53
a lot of fruits
would be very filling
00:08:43.56\00:08:45.78
and that would be
difficult to eat the quantities
00:08:45.81\00:08:48.48
of calories in fruit like
we do with other high density
00:08:48.51\00:08:52.74
foods such as the sugary
or the sweets or the fiber
00:08:52.77\00:08:55.94
type of fruits, foods I'm
sorry. So, that's why some
00:08:55.97\00:09:00.18
people say well you
can gain weight erratically
00:09:00.21\00:09:02.30
yeah like you said
that's correct, but most likely
00:09:02.33\00:09:05.90
it's not that way. Next,
I would like to share some
00:09:05.93\00:09:08.48
recommendations that are
from the American Institute
00:09:08.51\00:09:11.54
of Cancer Research.
The slide will show the
00:09:11.57\00:09:14.50
recommendations are
given to decrease cancer.
00:09:14.53\00:09:16.81
Such as be as lean as possible.
00:09:17.19\00:09:18.90
Be active on daily basis.
Limit consumption of foods
00:09:18.93\00:09:23.79
that are high in calorie.
Avoid the sugary drinks,
00:09:23.82\00:09:27.04
which served as a
fruit drinks lot of times
00:09:27.07\00:09:29.09
are very high in those.
Eat foods of plant origin
00:09:29.12\00:09:32.69
those are natural grown from
the earth or from the tress.
00:09:33.29\00:09:37.01
Limit intake of red
meat or avoid altogether.
00:09:37.73\00:09:40.88
And limit alcohol drinks or
avoid those altogether also.
00:09:41.35\00:09:44.40
So, these are some
practical applications
00:09:45.34\00:09:47.76
that we can use daily
to reduce that amount of,
00:09:47.79\00:09:52.79
the risk of cancer.
What about exercise.
00:09:52.82\00:09:57.65
We have known that
exercise has in the effect on
00:09:57.68\00:10:01.13
being healthy,
but what about cancer.
00:10:01.71\00:10:03.43
The first think is that
exercise indirectly effect
00:10:04.61\00:10:08.84
body fat and so
decrease body fat and obesity
00:10:08.87\00:10:13.02
and this should be a
mechanism to decrease
00:10:13.05\00:10:16.63
the cancer risk. But,
there are some research on
00:10:16.66\00:10:19.70
exercise alone
decreases insulin,
00:10:19.73\00:10:23.42
decrease
testosterone that is related to
00:10:23.45\00:10:25.81
prostate cancer. Decrease
estrogen related to female
00:10:25.84\00:10:29.40
cancers and also
exercise produce antioxidants
00:10:29.43\00:10:34.49
like superoxide dismutase
a substance that will prevent
00:10:34.52\00:10:38.84
a DNA to become
cancer and cancerogenic.
00:10:38.87\00:10:42.32
So, you see in the
graphic here the cancers
00:10:42.35\00:10:45.35
that are related to one of
the cancer that are related
00:10:45.38\00:10:50.05
when a person
does not do exercise.
00:10:50.08\00:10:52.31
So, exercise prevents
like cancer in the breast,
00:10:52.76\00:10:55.41
ovary, uterus,
pancreas, and lungs.
00:10:55.44\00:10:58.56
That's amazing
how just exercising
00:10:59.53\00:11:01.14
and luck you
mention at the beginning
00:11:01.17\00:11:02.86
and as was recommended
by the Cancer Institute
00:11:03.87\00:11:06.85
being lean and
using exercise to be lean
00:11:07.20\00:11:09.36
would be a great way to do that.
00:11:09.39\00:11:10.96
I also remember from
the list of recommendations
00:11:11.31\00:11:13.80
that not consuming
energy dense food in other words
00:11:13.83\00:11:17.65
commonly known as the high
caloric foods in very small
00:11:17.68\00:11:21.59
packages, so very small
amount of food with lot of
00:11:21.62\00:11:24.36
energy, a lot of
calories that's referring to
00:11:24.39\00:11:28.16
sometimes those could
be juices, fruit juices
00:11:28.65\00:11:31.32
because there is concentrated,
00:11:31.80\00:11:33.87
what are your
thoughts concerning cancer
00:11:33.90\00:11:35.62
prevention and juices with
has highly caloric intakes.
00:11:35.65\00:11:39.59
Well fruit juices
itself I don't see any problem
00:11:40.68\00:11:47.35
with that because if
it's fresh, but do so.
00:11:47.38\00:11:50.36
So, is almost
the same as the fruit
00:11:50.39\00:11:52.94
with the fiber there.
The only problem is that some
00:11:53.50\00:12:01.14
studies with children
have shown that if children
00:12:01.17\00:12:06.07
substitute sugary
foods, sugary drinks like sodas
00:12:06.10\00:12:10.96
and punches or drinks
that are sugary for fruit juice
00:12:10.99\00:12:17.63
and they cannot control weight?
00:12:17.97\00:12:19.84
So, if we talk about
weight we have to be careful
00:12:19.87\00:12:22.32
about too much fruit juices.
00:12:22.35\00:12:26.12
So, potentially
the best recommendation
00:12:27.20\00:12:29.01
would be to use what is
the five fruits and vegetables
00:12:29.04\00:12:31.65
a day. Use non-starchy
ones or limit the starchy ones
00:12:31.68\00:12:35.54
the potatoes and
those kind and also using
00:12:35.57\00:12:38.44
the whole grains,
legumes, and using sometimes
00:12:38.47\00:12:43.08
we get tricked with
the breads and we look at
00:12:43.11\00:12:44.71
the ingredients and
says wheat flour, make sure
00:12:44.74\00:12:47.45
it says whole
wheat flour and make sure
00:12:47.48\00:12:49.61
whole grain is there the
way God made it all the parts
00:12:49.64\00:12:53.05
all the components,
which are very healthy for us.
00:12:53.08\00:12:55.65
And these are related to
cancer prevention correct?
00:12:56.63\00:12:59.19
Yes, it is good
that you mentioned about
00:12:59.80\00:13:02.53
the amount of whole wheat flour
00:13:02.56\00:13:06.55
and I would go one
step further and say that
00:13:06.58\00:13:09.43
you should check the
amount of fiber in this
00:13:09.46\00:13:12.19
foods especially in bread
when you see 1 gm of fiber
00:13:12.22\00:13:16.42
is nothing so
this is refine bread.
00:13:16.96\00:13:21.40
Even the name I say whole
bread or whole wheat bread,
00:13:22.09\00:13:25.31
1 gm of fiber
is not whole wheat.
00:13:25.34\00:13:27.68
It should be at least
three grams of fat per serving.
00:13:27.71\00:13:30.75
Right. And be careful
that the serving is one slice.
00:13:30.78\00:13:33.70
Sometimes they put
a serving of two slice
00:13:33.73\00:13:36.16
and then you have more
fiber and that is no fiber that.
00:13:36.54\00:13:39.22
So, we have to make sure
that the servings of fiber
00:13:40.29\00:13:43.09
are how many per slice
or per serving is applied
00:13:43.12\00:13:46.38
the best way to say it.
Now the fiber the only thing
00:13:46.41\00:13:49.30
we are looking for or
how was that beneficial.
00:13:49.33\00:13:52.41
I see you have a display here.
00:13:52.70\00:13:54.69
Well, I just wanna say
that these type of foods
00:13:56.93\00:14:02.30
that I recommend
for cancer are not just
00:14:02.33\00:14:06.17
for the prevention of
cancer and it helps to
00:14:06.20\00:14:09.77
prevent the series of disease.
00:14:09.80\00:14:11.82
Metabolic syndrome,
diabetes, hypertension,
00:14:11.85\00:14:14.82
cancer as we see weight
control and several other
00:14:16.13\00:14:20.34
diseases and I recommend
to the patients up to the
00:14:20.37\00:14:24.38
public that they
eat beans everyday.
00:14:24.41\00:14:27.59
And I do as much as
possible to eat beans by the way
00:14:28.19\00:14:31.75
we eat a lot of
beans today in the
00:14:31.78\00:14:35.05
restaurant here
in a lunch time and
00:14:35.08\00:14:39.02
That's very
delicious, very good.
00:14:39.05\00:14:40.96
There was a bean soup
that was very delicious.
00:14:40.99\00:14:42.74
So, we know we are
getting all the good benefits
00:14:43.89\00:14:45.96
from the beans for
cancer for multiple diseases.
00:14:46.85\00:14:49.65
Now speaking on alcohol.
Does alcohol cause cancer?
00:14:50.00\00:14:54.63
Yeah, I have the Bible of
cancer here is a book from
00:14:55.36\00:15:00.10
the American
Institute of Cancer Research
00:15:00.13\00:15:02.42
and they are a result
of several specialists
00:15:02.73\00:15:06.79
on cancer around the
world and lets read what they
00:15:06.82\00:15:11.10
mention about
alcohol or ethanol.
00:15:11.13\00:15:14.29
In page 1:57
ethanol is calcified by the
00:15:14.32\00:15:18.69
international
agency for cancer research
00:15:18.72\00:15:21.13
as a human
carcinogen. So alcohol is a
00:15:21.43\00:15:24.93
cancer producing agent.
00:15:24.96\00:15:26.80
So, it's very clear
there and so even when the
00:15:27.28\00:15:30.93
same bugs has limited quantities
00:15:30.96\00:15:32.63
we should cut all
scientifically speaking
00:15:32.66\00:15:34.85
because they themselves say
it does cause cancer correct?
00:15:34.88\00:15:38.72
Yes, I believe
alcohol is a cancer agent
00:15:40.84\00:15:45.91
and if you see in the graphics
00:15:45.94\00:15:48.87
that we wanna show you
alcohol is related to cancer
00:15:48.90\00:15:52.42
and them all. In
the pharynx, larynx,
00:15:52.45\00:15:54.84
esophagus, intestines,
breast and liver cancer.
00:15:55.25\00:15:59.73
Breast and liver
cancer especially in women.
00:16:00.09\00:16:03.05
You see that alcohol is
really related to cancer
00:16:04.26\00:16:08.27
and I would say and I
believe that the alcohol
00:16:08.68\00:16:12.40
is a cancer producing agent.
00:16:12.43\00:16:14.62
Now does evidence
show that any amount
00:16:15.57\00:16:17.54
of alcohol is harmful.
00:16:17.57\00:16:19.79
Now it looks like there
is no amount especially for
00:16:21.21\00:16:24.77
breast cancer, so if
woman has started drinking one
00:16:24.80\00:16:28.52
dose or two dose of alcohol,
one dose being small liquid
00:16:28.61\00:16:34.47
or a small cup of liquid
or a cup of wine or a beer
00:16:34.50\00:16:39.10
they increase the
risk of breast cancer.
00:16:39.13\00:16:41.57
You can see in the
slide the recommendation
00:16:41.60\00:16:45.07
that the book, they can
say Bible says about cancer.
00:16:45.69\00:16:51.11
It says that evidence
does not show a clear level of
00:16:51.65\00:16:55.28
consumption of alcoholic
drinks below which there is
00:16:55.31\00:16:58.74
no increase in risk of
the cancers and its causes.
00:16:58.77\00:17:02.82
This means that based
solely on the evidence
00:17:03.64\00:17:06.21
of cancer, even
the small amounts of
00:17:06.80\00:17:08.12
alcoholic drinks
should be avoided.
00:17:08.15\00:17:10.37
Reminds me of Proverbs 21,
00:17:11.16\00:17:12.49
where it says wine is a marker,
00:17:12.52\00:17:14.11
so any, any amount of
alcohol has been shown
00:17:14.14\00:17:18.13
is harmful to the
body. So, we moderately well
00:17:18.16\00:17:21.34
abstain from it,
stay away from it,
00:17:21.37\00:17:23.35
knowing that it is
harmful when dealing with cancer
00:17:23.81\00:17:27.16
and with the body. Now
we know we've talked about
00:17:27.19\00:17:31.07
several ways of preventing
several with the exercise
00:17:31.10\00:17:34.35
and the diet and now
abstaining from alcohol.
00:17:34.38\00:17:37.03
But, we would like to
know what if, how can I check
00:17:37.71\00:17:40.54
if I do have cancer
a little bits of cancer
00:17:40.57\00:17:42.49
too attacked as soon as
possible or deal with it
00:17:42.52\00:17:46.10
medically as soon as possible,
00:17:46.13\00:17:48.68
which we know would
be the best way to do it.
00:17:48.71\00:17:50.15
Are there any kind
of indications that
00:17:50.18\00:17:52.64
we could have to deal with that.
00:17:52.67\00:17:54.59
Well it's a
tradition in the medical field
00:17:55.54\00:18:00.27
that the best treatment
for cancer is early treatment
00:18:00.30\00:18:05.10
and early detection of
it. So, they are some cancers
00:18:06.17\00:18:10.08
that you can have some
markers related to that,
00:18:10.11\00:18:15.10
but I go first, I
will go before that.
00:18:15.13\00:18:17.89
The first thing you
have to do is to check
00:18:17.92\00:18:20.65
your family history, to
see if you have any cancer
00:18:20.68\00:18:25.74
in the family like if
you have a prostate cancer
00:18:25.77\00:18:31.17
for us that may or so.
00:18:31.20\00:18:34.03
The father and grandfather.
00:18:34.06\00:18:35.41
And it is interesting,
but you should check if your
00:18:35.44\00:18:39.35
mother have breast
cancer then you might have
00:18:39.38\00:18:42.20
high risk of prostate
cancer if you are a man,
00:18:42.23\00:18:45.61
if you are women you
check if your mother have had
00:18:45.64\00:18:50.03
breast cancer or ovary cancer
00:18:50.06\00:18:52.25
and your father has
had a prostate cancer.
00:18:52.28\00:18:55.93
So, all of these
are related to hormones
00:18:55.96\00:18:59.41
that might increase your
risk. So, first check your
00:18:59.44\00:19:02.87
family history. Second
there are some markers,
00:19:02.90\00:19:06.68
so when you have a
risk of some of diseases or
00:19:06.71\00:19:10.87
some of this cancer
you can ask your physician
00:19:10.90\00:19:13.48
if he can somehow
check for this markers like
00:19:13.51\00:19:21.01
if you have prostate
risk, so there is a PSA
00:19:21.04\00:19:24.55
that is everybody knows
about that and we advise
00:19:24.58\00:19:28.73
that or the authorities advise
00:19:28.76\00:19:31.05
that after 50 years
old everybody should know
00:19:31.08\00:19:34.68
the PSA level. And
then for women they have now
00:19:34.71\00:19:39.23
one or two
markers for breast cancer.
00:19:40.37\00:19:44.72
And is very common
that a lady will check her
00:19:45.05\00:19:50.24
family history and figure
it out that they have some
00:19:50.27\00:19:54.13
breast cancer in the
family then the second step
00:19:54.16\00:19:56.97
would be check for
BRCA or BRCA 1 or 2.
00:19:57.00\00:20:01.83
And those are the
markers that they have
00:20:01.86\00:20:04.29
they the physicians use to
prevent or to detect a risk
00:20:04.32\00:20:09.35
or even a cancer that
might be starting earlier.
00:20:09.75\00:20:15.18
So, very fortunate
to have science tell us
00:20:16.04\00:20:20.09
or give us those indications.
00:20:20.12\00:20:21.48
So, we can deal with
that and number one cancer
00:20:22.00\00:20:24.69
for women is breast
cancer and number one for men
00:20:24.72\00:20:27.72
prostate cancer. So,
these are probably two
00:20:27.75\00:20:29.77
that as we aged, we should
be checking on to make sure
00:20:29.80\00:20:34.93
we don't have those
meat. It's a thing that we know
00:20:34.96\00:20:40.59
that science and the
Bible are very clear about
00:20:40.62\00:20:44.45
certain meats
and even science and
00:20:44.48\00:20:47.38
more and more
says meat is harmful.
00:20:47.41\00:20:49.16
Meat has lot of fat,
lot of saturated fat,
00:20:49.19\00:20:51.92
it's
contaminated with antibiotics
00:20:51.95\00:20:55.52
or different factors
that are harmful what does
00:20:55.55\00:20:59.31
cancer and meat
have any association.
00:20:59.34\00:21:01.27
Well, I would say
that 100% we know that meat
00:21:01.98\00:21:05.52
is related to colon
cancer or intestines.
00:21:05.55\00:21:09.63
Cancers in the
digestive system is specific
00:21:10.49\00:21:15.16
in the colon. So, what
we advise again we have
00:21:15.19\00:21:20.34
recommendations for that
and in the book they say that
00:21:20.37\00:21:24.15
a person should not eat
more than 300 or 500 grams
00:21:24.18\00:21:30.06
of meat per week
specially red meat that means
00:21:30.09\00:21:34.55
11 to 18 ounces of
meat per week, 8 ounces
00:21:34.58\00:21:39.64
and I can remember
that myself in the past
00:21:39.67\00:21:43.49
I used to eat that in one day
00:21:43.52\00:21:45.49
and many people still
use this 300 grams of meat
00:21:45.52\00:21:50.73
per day and
that's one thing that
00:21:50.76\00:21:52.91
we have to slow down on meat.
00:21:52.94\00:21:54.98
Or else you have done
altogether live it behind
00:21:55.71\00:21:58.74
and know that
there is a risk with it
00:21:58.77\00:22:00.82
and not deal with it
in fact knowing that,
00:22:00.85\00:22:03.52
That's better. Yeah exactly,
00:22:03.55\00:22:04.94
it's almost like
driving a car and knowing that
00:22:04.97\00:22:06.98
if I drive fast there
is a higher chance that
00:22:07.89\00:22:10.09
if I do get into an
accident the injuries
00:22:10.12\00:22:12.65
will be greater and
the damage will be greater.
00:22:12.68\00:22:14.72
Now with our diet is too,
how we feed our body you know
00:22:14.75\00:22:17.30
if you know certain
things we will put us in danger
00:22:17.33\00:22:19.74
or higher risk or I
even deal with it if I put it
00:22:19.77\00:22:22.63
aside get rid of it altogether.
00:22:22.66\00:22:24.96
What are some
other recommendations
00:22:26.61\00:22:27.87
that you would
have as far as diet
00:22:27.90\00:22:29.66
or to deal with cancer?
00:22:29.69\00:22:31.78
I think there is
another important factor
00:22:32.49\00:22:35.12
that is the
relationship with biologic
00:22:35.15\00:22:37.69
agents like virus. So,
you see that there are some
00:22:37.72\00:22:42.16
types of cancer that
are related to virus.
00:22:42.19\00:22:45.06
And then one is the
esophagus cancer related
00:22:45.09\00:22:47.85
to Epstein-Barr virus.
Okay. So, a person should check
00:22:47.88\00:22:51.80
if the person has the
Epstein-Barr virus for that.
00:22:51.83\00:22:55.86
And the most acknowledged
or most common is the HPV
00:22:56.52\00:23:02.08
or Human Papillomavirus
that is related to cancer
00:23:02.11\00:23:07.21
for the
cervical cancer in women.
00:23:07.24\00:23:11.78
So, this is the one that
they develop an immunization
00:23:12.38\00:23:15.38
against a vaccine, okay.
Especially for girls between
00:23:15.41\00:23:20.86
13 to 26 years old they
advise this immunization.
00:23:20.89\00:23:26.89
Even though this
cancer is consider a cancer
00:23:27.91\00:23:31.55
transmitted by
sexual intercourse
00:23:31.58\00:23:35.61
or related to woman
that have a lot of partners
00:23:36.09\00:23:42.20
and then they can be
transmitted this virus
00:23:42.67\00:23:45.81
the Human
Papillomavirus and increase
00:23:45.84\00:23:48.34
the risk of this type of cancer.
00:23:48.37\00:23:50.55
Alright, now there
is another one that
00:23:50.58\00:23:53.04
maybe effect people in
the southern zones or places,
00:23:53.07\00:23:56.21
where the sun hits very hard
00:23:56.24\00:23:58.39
and that's skin cancer correct?
00:23:58.42\00:23:59.83
How often should
we use some blocker,
00:24:01.61\00:24:03.75
some protection from to
protect ourselves from that.
00:24:03.78\00:24:06.33
Every time we go got or
after certain amounts of day
00:24:06.36\00:24:09.44
time or other certain places
00:24:09.47\00:24:12.50
what's your
recommendation on that.
00:24:12.53\00:24:13.99
That's a good question
because we are talking about
00:24:14.02\00:24:17.12
prevention of cancer
and then the skin cancer.
00:24:18.17\00:24:21.69
Mostly I would
say the skin cancer
00:24:22.40\00:24:24.33
is in the
inferior lab, inferior lip
00:24:24.36\00:24:27.86
and then in the nose,
in the doors of the nose,
00:24:27.89\00:24:31.40
in the front and
in the chin here,
00:24:31.43\00:24:35.07
and then in the
upper part of the ear.
00:24:35.10\00:24:37.45
So, this the main areas
that we can have skin cancer
00:24:37.48\00:24:43.60
specially a person
that has light color skin.
00:24:43.63\00:24:49.48
So, kind of a hat
will help on that,
00:24:50.07\00:24:52.97
but you could use the some
block that should be effect
00:24:53.00\00:24:57.39
or some protector
factor like SPF 30 or higher.
00:24:57.42\00:25:02.67
Correct. The problem is
that if you block totally sun
00:25:02.70\00:25:06.63
you decrease the
absorption of vitamin D
00:25:07.13\00:25:09.64
and vitamin D on the
other hand is one important
00:25:10.01\00:25:13.23
antioxidant that prevents
cancer and some researchers
00:25:13.26\00:25:17.63
are fighting now
and they are saying that
00:25:17.66\00:25:19.73
you better have more
sun. You will have less cancer
00:25:19.76\00:25:23.20
then the cancer that
are produced by UV rays.
00:25:23.57\00:25:26.16
So, my advise is that
leave more sun in the upper
00:25:26.63\00:25:31.74
extremities in
the arms and the legs,
00:25:31.77\00:25:33.68
protect your face and
avoid the period of sun
00:25:33.71\00:25:37.34
that is more intense
like around 12 that should be
00:25:37.37\00:25:43.78
between 9 in California
that I'm from California
00:25:43.81\00:25:48.47
9'o clock the sun
is already too strong,
00:25:48.50\00:25:50.95
9 to 3 or 9 to 4
and have the sun.
00:25:50.98\00:25:54.63
Avoid the sun.
Avoid that at time.
00:25:54.66\00:25:56.99
And one specific thing is
that avoid burning the skin.
00:25:57.02\00:26:01.16
So, if you burn the skin
you have this reddish skin
00:26:01.19\00:26:04.22
then you are in trouble
because these is the one
00:26:04.25\00:26:07.59
when you have the
UV ultraviolet rays
00:26:08.25\00:26:11.75
that will cause
mutation in the skin cells.
00:26:11.78\00:26:15.66
Okay, okay, so we want to
avoid the burning altogether.
00:26:15.69\00:26:18.88
Once again we deal with
the topic of balance were God
00:26:19.32\00:26:22.89
made sunshine to be
healthy for us for bones,
00:26:22.92\00:26:25.29
for vitamin D, we
need it by moderation
00:26:25.32\00:26:29.60
and the right times of
day and to protect ourselves
00:26:29.63\00:26:32.22
from the worst time
like you said from the middle
00:26:32.25\00:26:35.34
of the day time, then
wear hat, wear some block,
00:26:35.37\00:26:37.76
wear long sleeves at that time
00:26:37.79\00:26:39.64
if there is gonna
be multiple exposure.
00:26:39.67\00:26:41.82
I know that
cancer once again can hit
00:26:42.39\00:26:44.84
so many places from
the surface of the skin
00:26:44.87\00:26:47.52
to inside our body
to even inside our bones
00:26:47.55\00:26:51.28
and we want to make
sure that we avoid all those
00:26:52.29\00:26:54.86
we know what the risk
levels are also knowing
00:26:54.89\00:26:57.74
that foods right have
protection against it.
00:26:57.77\00:27:01.88
And even certain
drinks may have protection
00:27:01.91\00:27:04.54
against cancer right?
00:27:04.57\00:27:05.69
Yes, I have a drink for
us here that is not alcohol,
00:27:06.27\00:27:09.35
is a grape juice and
has a lot of antioxidants.
00:27:10.15\00:27:14.54
Perfect. So, this is very good
00:27:14.57\00:27:16.71
for the prevention of cancer.
00:27:16.74\00:27:18.10
We wanna prevent for
sure. We thank you for joining

how God has created us

We have made, we have

00:27:30.81\00:27:32.25
and we want to avoid
all opportunity for cancer
00:27:32.28\00:27:36.07
to attack our body and
if starts with a glass of

grape juice or
staying away from the sun
00:27:39.77\00:27:43.55
