Cancer and Seafood

Cancer is the uncontrolled growth of cells which reverted back to their undifferentiated state. All body cells came from a single cell which was the fertilized ovum. All body cells, therefore, are genetically identical. How come then that bone tissue is different from neurons? Why is the cardiac cell capable of independent movement whereas skeletal cell muscles do not have the rhythm of the heart? Why is it that the structure of skin is totally different from the cells of the liver? The answer to all these questions is cell-differentiation. During the development stage of an embryo, cells multiply exponentially. The genetic cascade of information, turning on and off at certain stages, programmed some cells to die while some are programmed to specialize. This cell death and specialization are absent in cancer cells.

One diet that has some significant effect in the treatment of cancer is seafood diet. Seafood such as fish, lobster, squids, clams, oysters, octopuses, shrimps, crabs and seaweeds all contain 72 natural trace elements that are essential in cellular metabolism. These trace elements such as zinc, magnesium and selenium can be found in salt forms in the seafood. A daily dietary routine of including at least 4 oz. of seafood serving may have some significant effect in treating early forms of breast cancer, prostrate cancer, leukemia, colon cancer, diabetes Mellitus disease, Lou Gehrig’s disease, arthritis and other diseases. The trace elements, in the form of salt compounds, help boosting the immune system in getting rid of the said diseases.
