This is an article that was just published on The Truth about Cancer website...
Ketone Bodies Feed Your Brain, Not Cancer
The brain needs glucose 24 hours a day to function. Since sugar feeds cancer, the brain is taking in sugar 24 hours a day and the cancer is being fed 24 hours per day. However, if you understand the brain, you will also know there is another FUEL the brain will use and prefers over sugar – it’s ketone bodies or keto acids. Ketones are what your body produces when it converts fat (as opposed to glucose) into energy.
I made the switch immediately to get my body in ketosis, so the only fuel my brain was getting was ketone bodies. Normal healthy brain cells use ketones for fuel but cancer cells (because their mitochondria is damaged) cannot use ketone bodies and the cancer begins to die. I still monitor my body to make sure my sugars are low and I am in ketosis.
Toxins Destroy the Brain
There are many toxins that can pass the blood brain barrier and affect the brain. You have to minimize your exposure to toxins immediately.
Example: Environmental toxins, heavy metals, household products and cleaners, perfumes, colognes, lotions, etc. One of the hardest toxicities that damages your brain are artificial sweeteners, sucralose, Splenda®, Sweet N Low®, etc. Say NO to sugar-free processed foods that contain these artificial sweeteners, along with diet sodas, diet drinks or pretty much “diet” anything. You must read your labels. But then again, whole foods such as fruits, vegetables, salad greens, etc. don’t need labels. They are real foods. Eat more of those and minimize the processed foods!
Test....Don’t Guess
Cancer is always secondary. You need to run tests to find the cause(s) of your cancer and monitor those.
Here is a brief list of some of the more important tests to do:
Toxicity Tests
Vitamin D
Hormone Panel
Thyroid panel
Fatty Acid Ratio
Leaky Gut
Leaky Brain
Food Sensitivities (IgG, IgA)
Fat Doesn’t Make You Fat – It Makes You Healthy
My favorite healthy fat I eat all day long is coconut oil. Coconut oil contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) and they are a great source of ketone bodies, since coconut oil is about 66 percent MCTs. Every meal and snack has to include lots of healthy fats as well as drinking a ketogenic shake 3-4 times per day. This is the easiest way to stay in ketosis and produce ketone bodies.
Stop Inflammation!
Whatever affects the colon, affects the brain immediately! I ask my patients this, “if you were to drink 3 shots of whiskey, how fast would your brain feel it?” They say, “immediately.” That’s because the colon affects the brain immediately. You have to stop inflammation and stop damaging your colon immediately and repair it.
What will damage and create inflammation in your gut and then in your brain?
Gluten
Dairy
GMOs
Food sensitivities
Medications (NSAIDs, birth control, pain medications, etc.)
Bad fats, caffeine, processed soy, and alcohol
High and low cortisol (excess stress)
This is just the beginning steps to reversing brain cancer. All cancers are a multi-factorial and multi-system failure. You didn’t get cancer and then get sick, you have been sick and toxic for years and THEN you got cancer. The cancer is secondary, not primary. The only cure for cancer is to get to the cause(s).

4 Drinks You Must Avoid!
Here are 4 drinks YOU MUST avoid as much as possible if you want to be truly healthy:
1. 100% Fruit Juice - Sugar, sugar and more sugar...While 100% fruit juice is a better choice than drinking some fake high-fructose corn syrup juice, it still has almost all of the blood sugar regulating fiber stripped out of the fruit, potentially creating a fat storing bonanza in your body, lowers the immune system and sets you up for disease.
2. Soy Milk - Without question, most soy milk has become too sugary and is controlled by the same food and beverage giants that are still manufacturing and marketing other products that promote degenerative disease. Also MOST soy is genetically modified (GMO) and making you sicker not healthier.
3. Frappuccino – This tempting choice of HIGH SUGAR coffee also hides several hundreds of calories in one drink, and before you know it you might down up to 500 calories while talking with friends at the coffee shop making yourself SICK!
4. Zero Calorie Flavored Waters – Trying to trick you with 0-calorie claims, most of these still use artificial sweeteners that have been proven to block the absorption of nutrients into your body in a variety of studies and also destroys your health.

Alkaline Water, Good or Bad?
A Special Message from Dr. Charles Majors...
Alkaline water! Scam or Cancer Prevention?
The alkaline sales people will tell you that drinking alkaline water will prevent and reverse cancer (I used to believe that as well). Why? Because a majority of cancer patients are acidic, so if they're acidic, then creating an alkaline environment would reverse their cancer, right? Wrong!
1. Cancer cells will make their own acidity even in an alkaline environment.
2. Cancer cells are killed by ACID, this is why IV vitamin C (ascorbic acid) works so well.
3. Your stomach is ACID and drinking alkaline water does nothing but ALKALIZE your stomach creating hypochordia (low stomach acid) Acid in your stomach is essential to break down foods, kill parasites, kill H-pylori bacteria, prevent ulcers and help liver in methylation.
4. One of the problems with extremely alkaline conditions (called alkalosis) is that normal, healthy cells die when conditions become too alkaline.
You cannot make your body ALKALINE by drinking alkaline water, your body is designed to adjust to its optimal pH balance no matter what you eat or drink. Once you drink alkaline water and it enters your stomach, your body simply pours in greater amounts of acid to neutralize it.
Your body is designed to keep itself in BALANCE. Too acidic or too alkaline is not healthy, the body HAS TO HAVE a pH of 7.25, slightly alkaline. Regardless of what you eat or drink, the body maintains its pH balance. Your urine might be affected by the pH of what you eat, but your blood will not be. Too bad the marketers for alkaline water don’t share that little fact with you.
If someone, even a doctor, tells you Cancer can be reversed or prevented with a few simple steps, RUN! Every cancer is multi-factorial, multi-system failure and requires and multi-system approach to get to the Cause(s)- read, Cancer Killers- The Cause is the Cure!
Have a blessed day!

Statin Medications Are Not The Answer
If you have read most of my other newsletters you will already know, lowering your cholesterol can be very dangerous and unhealthy for you. Your body and your brain NEEDS cholesterol to function. Every symptom is the body doing the right thing at the right time. Your liver is producing more cholesterol to help protect your brain and also to make every hormone in your body, and these are just some examples.
An article done years ago, entitled, "Statins for stroke prevention: disappointment and hope" had been published in the peer reviewed journal Circulationin 2004. In the article, the authors point out that "Epidemiological and observational studies have not shown a clear association between cholesterol levels and all causes of stroke." So they set out to discover if lowering cholesterol levels was an effective way to decrease the risk for strokes.
The researchers combined the data from nine different trials that studied the effect of statin drugs to reduce strokes. The trials included 70,070 men and women. The findings were worse than dismal for the drugs. Overall, statin drugs decreased the risk less than 1% of the time. The authors concluded, "Statins have not yet been shown to reduce stroke risk in the typical general population, nor have they been shown to prevent recurrent stroke in patients with prior stroke."
So - if its not cholesterol causing strokes, what is it then? It's not the cholesterol, its the INFLAMMATION of the cholesterol. If your cholesterol is low but that cholesterol inflames, it will thicken up, harden up, and it can create a stroke or heart attack.
The key to diminishing your chance of a stroke or a heart attack is STOPPING and REDUCING your inflammation.
Here are the steps to reducing inflammation.
1. Follow ML advanced plan eating. This diet keeps your sugars low, reduces your bad fats and increases your foods that bring down inflammation. (Recipes and step by step instructions of the diet are in our Maximized Living Nutrition book)
Increase supplements that reduce inflammation:
2. Balance your omega-6 to omega-3 ratio. Take ML Optimal Omega!
3. Curcumin/Turmeric is a scientifically proven inflammation buster. A 2004 study published in the journal Oncogene found that curcumin (found in turmeric) was found to be an effective alternative to allopathic drugs as an anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative agent against tumor cells. Be sure to buy the organic non-irradiated version of this healing spice.

4. Like turmeric, ginger is also a powerful anti-inflammatory food. Ginger contains potent anti-inflammatory compounds called gingerols. The February 2005 issue of the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine reported that ginger suppressed the main pro-inflammatory compounds cytokine and chemokine.
5. Fix your Gut. Probiotics are necessary to maintain a healthy flora balance between good and bad bacteria in your gut, enabling your immune system to function effectively. Probiotics also relieve intestinal inflammation. Your gut and the probiotic organisms who live there comprise 80% of your immune system. A study published in Pathogens, a publication of the Public Library of Science, demonstrated the anti-inflammatory and pathogen protection benefits of probiotics beyond the gastrointestinal tract. This is an amazing product to help heal the gut. Get Max GI!

Does Your Sunscreen Cause Cancer?
Summer is here and we’re cautioned to use sunscreen at all times in order to protect our skin from the sun’s harmful rays. The funny thing is, most of the sunscreens on the market can potentially be more harmful to our bodies than the sun is.
Although sunburns and too much UV exposure are absolutely not healthy for our skin, it’s pretty ironic that the very thing we’re told to do to protect ourselves – applying generous amounts of chemical-laden sunscreen – can actually contribute to cancer and disrupt our hormonal functioning. Makes you re-think your habit of slathering on sunblock before going into the sun, right?
While I don’t recommend prolonged laying in the sun, getting 15-30 minutes of the sun's rays (without sunscreen) can be very beneficial, depending on where you live and the time of day! The skin needs to be bare and sunblock-free in order to optimize production of all-important vitamin D, which is crucial for immune system function and cancer prevention. After 15-30 minutes, though, it’s important to protect yourself from burns. Make sure to wear a hat, protective clothing, and choose a healthier, safer sunscreen.
More and more research is proving that raising the minimum year-around serum 25(OH)D level to 40 to 60 ng/mL would prevent approximately 58,000 new cases of breast cancer and 49,000 new cases of colorectal cancer each year, and three fourths of deaths from these diseases in the United States and Canada, based on observational studies combined with a randomized trial. Such intakes also are expected to reduce case-fatality rates of patients who have breast, colorectal, or prostate cancer by half.
The best way to raise your Vitamin D levels is to supplement Vitamin D3.
Recommendations:
Adults - 5000ius day
Children - 2000ius day
The best Vitamin D3 is MaximizedLiving® Vitamin D3 + Probiotics® it is a whole food formula featuring 5,000 IU of Vitamin D3, 10 billion CFU of Probiotics and FOS Prebiotics. Pick up this week in our office, we have a limited supply, or click here to order NOW!
One of the Healthiest ways to START your DAY!
Why do I begin EVERYDAY with a glass of room temperature filtered water (24 ounces) with 1/2 - 1 lemon squeezed in it?
The way you start each day is incredibly important. Most people don't realize what you do first thing in the morning matters and it matters a lot! It's so simple and the benefits are AMAZING. Water with lemon produces clean energy by hydrating and oxygenating the body to extraordinary energy and mental clarity.
Room temperature water with lemon benefits:
1. Boosts your immune system - Lemons are high in Vitamin C and potassium. Vitamin C is great for fighting colds and potassium stimulates brain and nerve function and helps control blood pressure.
2. Balances pH - Lemons are an incredibly alkaline food, believe it or not. Yes, they are acidic on their own, but inside our bodies they're alkaline (the citric acid does not create acidity in the body once metabolized). This will help you begin your day balancing your pH and most of you know how important this is to your health as well as cancer prevention.
3. Helps with weight loss - Lemons are high in pectin fiber, which helps fight hunger cravings. It also has been shown that people who maintain a more alkaline diet lose weight faster.
4. Aids digestion - The room temperature water serves to stimulate the gastrointestinal tract and peristalsis—the waves of muscle contractions within the intestinal walls that keep things moving. Lemons are also high in minerals and vitamins and help loosen toxins in the digestive tract.
5. Helps you detox and flush out faster - Lemon juice helps flush out unwanted materials because lemons increase the rate of urination in the body. Toxins are therefore released at a faster rate which helps keep your urinary tract healthy.
6. Clears skin - The vitamin C helps decrease wrinkles and blemishes. Lemon water purges toxins from the blood which helps keep skin clear as well.
7. Hydrates the lymph system - When your body is dehydrated, or deeply dehydrated (adrenal fatigue) it can't perform all of it's proper functions, which leads to toxic buildup, stress, constipation, and the list goes on. Your adrenals happen to be two small glands that sit on top of your kidneys, and along with your thyroid, create energy. They also secrete important hormones, including aldosterone. Aldosterone is a hormone secreted by your adrenals that regulates water levels and the concentration of minerals, like sodium, in your body, helping you stay hydrated. Your adrenals are also responsible for regulating your stress response. So, the bottom line is that you really don't want to mess with a deep state of dehydration!
Now, go get some water and lemons!
