Vitamin B17 is not actually a vitamin. Vitamins are essential for human health. B17 is a poison also known as amygdalin as well as drugs. Amygdalin is broken down into cyanide, which is an incredibly toxic substance. There is zero reason to use it to treat cancer. There is no scientific evidence is ....
Cancer is by definition abnormal growth of tissue which spreads and causes damage. The actual mechanism why and how it happens is the subject of a great deal of study but appears to involve small groups of cancer cells invading and breaking off in blood and lymph vessels and being carried along to d....
First of all, breast cancer isn't a death sentence: overall, about 60% of women survive breast cancer, and go on to live long and healthy lives. The percentage can be as high as 99%, depending on the particular type and stage of breast cancer. Stage 1, 2, 3 is easily curable by surgery followed b....

Yes, but indirectly. Free radicals can damage DNA but the cells have their own reparative mechanisms. For free radicals to cause cancer, the following events need to happen:-
1. Damage in individual cells significant enough to overwhelm its reparative mechanisms.
2. Damage in such a way that even if the reparative process is impaired, the cell is not allowed to commit suicide called APOPTOSIS.
3. Such a cell which fails to undergo apoptosis keeps accumulating damage enough to cause genetic mutations.
4. Sufficient number of cells achieve critical mass with the above said damage to grow into a cancer.
But the good thing is antioxidants get rid of free radicals. Every chemical and toxin in your body causes free radical damage. The carcinogenic toxins cause even more damage. Combined with high acidity and low oxygenation, you've got a prescription for cancer.
Another cause of free radical damage and thus too much cancer, is that processed foods generate more free radicals than whole foods, and have fewer nutrients to act as free radical scavengers to help protect you from those free radicals...
