Good nutrition can be 'preventative medicine'.

The problem with achieving that is -

1. We live in a world where soils. by now, are minerally depleted, so plants and animals are not providing the nutrition for us that they once did.

2. So many inorganic chemicals are being used in growing/feeding of what we eat that we are getting a chemical cocktail at every mouthful.

3. This toxic load is made worse by processing of food where more artificial chemicals are used as 'shelf life improvers' and 'appearance enhancers'.

4. Some foods are totally unnatural/man made - eg margarine. Natural fats are unnaturally processed which renders them toxic instead of nutritious.

5. Nutritional advice is often influenced for financial reasons/profits. You are advised to eat what they want to sell.

The medical profession's 'solution' to this unnatural, illness causing, toxic load, is to give you even more.

Once you body has become an overflowing dustbin of toxins, your organs start to malfunction. Whether proper function can be restored is debateable. Some opinion is optimistic that it can,(as this video shows).

It is impossible to live a life free from food pollution, water pollution, air pollution, - artificial chemical poisoning of all of them. So the best you can do is try to limit them, so that you (as a dustbin) will take longer to get full. Eventually it will. You can only try to limit how soon it happens.

Despite all the money spent on cancer research there will never be a cure as long as it it is more financially lucrative to keep you sick.
