ty bollinger: the whole food, the plant-based diet, should be a staple in order to not only stay health to prevent disease, but if youhave been diagnosed with cancer, specifically this whole interview series, this investigative reportthat i'm doing is focused on preventing cancer. when you look at the statistics of the world healthorganization 2010, they said of the people who are alive today, one in two men, one inthree women are going to face a cancer diagnosis. this information needs to get out there. peopleneed to know how they can eat to prevent this. mike adams: a whole food, predominately plant-baseddiet is an anti-cancer diet, period. there are more anti-cancer medicines in a diversewhole food diet than the cancer industry will ever come up with, regardless of how many billionsof dollars they spend on research. there are
anti-cancer compounds in celery, anti-cancercompounds in beets, anti-cancer compounds in the white stuff inside of the orange peel.when you peel the orange peeling off, you should leave that white layer on the oranges,on the pieces. eat as much as that as possible. it's anti-cancer. anti-cancer elements in redwine and red grapes - resveratrol - which we talked about. anti-cancer elements in seeds andin nuts. there are so many that modern science... it will take us hundreds of years to evenbegin to understand the anti-cancer potential that's found in a grocery store right now. ty bollinger: yeah. i honestly believe thatthere are more. it would be harder to list. it would be harder to find the whole foodsthat don't contain cancer-fighting properties
than it would be to just pick one. you couldjust pick any of them. they all have some kind of different methods by which they wouldhelp to prevent cancer or to treat cancer. mike adams: it reminds me of a question thata traditional chinese medicine master once asked me when we were having discussions innature about what's healing. he asked me this very powerful but simple question.we were in a forest. he said, look around. "find me something around here in the forest.find me something that is not medicine." i couldn't. ty bollinger: you couldn't do it. mike adams: i couldn't. everything aroundus was medicine in one form or another. even the soil beneath our feet; the microbes inthe soil are medicine. the minerals in the
stones are medicine. the chemical constituentsin the tree bark are traditional chinese medicine. a lot of those are tree bark. the herbs,the plants, everything had a medicinal component, even the sky, the sunlight was medicinal.the water in the plants - medicinal. i couldn't find anything that wasn't medicine. and sowhen people come up to me and they say things like, "i don't know what to do about cancer.i've tried everything." have you tried nature? have you? i bet you that on the way to yourcancer clinic, you walked by nature. you walked by some plants that probably have anti-cancermedicines in them. ty bollinger: i can guarantee they did. mike adams: i used to live in the desert in arizona. there were anticancer treatmentcenters there where in the parking lots, had anti-cancer plants, desert plants. they'revery potent.
ty bollinger: they probably were better treatmentsthan [what] were inside. mike adams: absolutely! so people would parktheir cars, ignoring the medicine right there for free, and they would walk inside of thecancer-treatment center, and get poisoned and pay for it, and wonder why they were stillsick. that's how messed up the cancer industry is today. ty bollinger: that is the insanity that wecall the cancer industry today. mike adams: literally, in many parts of arizona,you can just go out in the wild and you can harvest masses of anti-cancer desert plants, wild crafted,for free. ty bollinger: i know. it's nuts. it really is. well, mike, that reminds me of the old mantra from hippocrates: “let
food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.â€i think that if we could sum up what we've talked about today, if we can get a whole plant-baseddiet to treat cancer and/or to prevent cancer, that would be the direction that we shouldgo. mike adams: that is a sustainable path forhumanity.
