•Normal cell that has begun to grow
fast and in an uncontrolled way
•Requires dozens of changes to the cell
10. H O W C A N C E R S TA R T S
•A normal cell
transforms into
cancer cells over
many years
11. D O N ’ T T U R N S L O W G R O W I N G C A N C E R
C E L L S I N T O FA S T G R O W I N G C E L L S
• Damage to the normal cells causes them to turn
into cancer cells
• Further damage to slow growing cancer cells
cause them to become fast growing cells
• What’s good for reducing risk of your type of
cancer is good after a diagnosis
• What’s known to increase risk of your type of
cancer should be avoided
12. E P I G E N E T I C S :
C H A N G E T H E S O U P !
• The fluid around the cells contain chemicals
which can drive cell growth
• Inflammation in the body releases chemicals into
the blood which can cause damage to the cells
and increase cell turnover
• Choose an anti-inflammatory lifestyle
• Diet, exercise, meditation, stress reduction
13. T H E M I C R O B I O M E
• 100 trillion bacteria in your gut
• Essential to digestion, immunity, hormone production
• A diet of processed and refined foods will
• Change the types and amount of bacteria in your gut
• Irritate the lining of the gut (leaky gut syndrome)
• Feed your bacteria
• Fiber
• Prebiotics add ‘good’ bacteria to your gut
14. H O W D I E T H E L P S T O H E A L C A N C E R
• Prevents slow growing cells from becoming fast growing
• Anti-oxidants mop up damaging and stimulating chemicals
• Turns off the signals for the cells to grow
• High sugar levels prime insulin / growth
• Change in the soup, change the conditions for cell growth
• Improves immune function
• Unleash body’s innate healing potential
• Living your body can prime a meta-physical transformation
15. P R I N C I P L E S O F A H E A LT H Y D I E T
• Eat food, mostly plants, not too much

their own can “spike” blood sugars
•↑ insulin = inflammation
•We need protein, fibre, healthier fats
•Best to consume slow burning fuel
19. L I T T L E O R N O R E D M E AT !
• Red meat irritates your gut, kills off healthy bacteria and
leads to inflammation
• Fish in small amounts is OK
• Eg. one serving per week
• Beware of high metal levels (eg. tuna)
• Canned wild salmon, sardines, cod, herring, mackerel,…
• Skinless chicken or turkey breast in small amounts
20. M Y T H – W E W O N ’ T G E T E N O U G H
P R O T E I N I F W E D O N ’ T E AT M E AT
•Wrong!
•Vegetables contain the same amino acids
(ie protein) as the muscle of animals

protein than our bodies can use.

Accepted ratio: 4 parts omega 6: 1 part omega 3
• Current western diets have too much omega 6 (20:1)
• Omega 3 parent molecule: alpha linolenic acid is found in flax,
walnuts, chia seeds and small amounts in green vegetables (very
stable and can convert in body to longer chains EPA and DHA)

rancid quickly (why fish smell fishy!)
