Good News does Not Sell Newspapers – or Cancer Cures

I have read Dr. Bharat Aggarwal’s book, . I seriously suggest that you get your hands on a copy. But, besides helping us to find the way to good health, avoiding the chemical industry, it also tells a story that we all can find of benefit. It tells the story of how, against opposition in the early days, and the efforts that are made today to suppress the data, Dr. Aggarwal succeeded in bringing the good news to us all.

After starting life in the “medical industry” Dr. Aggarwal achieved a post in the MD Anderson Cancer Centre, in Houston, Texas. There he quietly plugged away at his mother’s ideas: “just how potent are these spices”, the ones she used to use heal his wounds, calm his fevers and above all, make delicious meals when he was a boy. No one took a scrap of notice of his research. One of his colleagues once “shooed him out of the office!”  Then, as if by chance, his boss, John Mandelsohn, MD, listened to a lecture Dr. Aggarwal was giving on the other side of the world, in India. To quote from Dr. Aggarwal’s book, on the flight home Dr. Mandelsohn admitted “I had no idea that the science behind your results was so solid.” We need to bear in mind that this remark was made over 20 years ago!

What Dr. Aggarwal had found, and it is now being proven time after time after time on humans all over the world, was – is – that curcumin is active against cancer. Breast cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer – you name it, it is on the list of curable cancers. The Chinese have recently published a paper where they cite the results on breast cancers that were supposedly totally incurable.   This is confirmed by other papers.

So why are we not getting this information spread across the world freely? Why is this cheap spice not being touted for what it is, something that can save literally thousands of lives? Why do so many people suffer, get even sicker, taking toxic “medication”? The answer is one word: MONEY, yes M_O_N_E_Y. It is not in the interest of anyone in the medical industry to broadcast this information. It is against their interests for you to get well, for you to get out of their clutches. “This will mean that while in 2010, the average cost of treating someone diagnosed with cancer was approximately £30,000; by 2021 this will rise to almost £40,000.”  In the USA the figure can be as high as $90,000 – A YEAR!  When, for less than the price of a packet of cigarettes per week you can almost certainly avoid cancer?? (And here again, I must repeat: do not be fooled by low prices. Curcuma  longa is not curcumin; it is its source. Curcuma longa – turmeric – contains just 4% of curcumin, so has little or no benefit for anyone who does not have a history of a turmeric diet. Read the label on any pot of so called “Curcumin”.)

In the coming articles, I hope to bring you some of the spicier bits of information that will show how, just by looking at what we eat, we can avoid Cancer, Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, Heart Disease, Type 2 Diabetes, among other killers.

Just by going to the shop!

Dr. Aggarwal cites a quotation from Charlemagne, the First German “Emperor of The European Community”, in the 8th Century. (Look him up!) Charlemagne said ” Spices, the friend of physicians and the pride of cooks.”
