Cancer Has Passed Heart Disease as Leading Cause of Death in 22 States

  • August 26, 2016

Cancer is catching up to heart disease as the #1 killer in America. New data from the CDC that was reported on by Popular Science reveals that, "614,348 people in the U.S. died of heart disease in 2014, compared with 591,699 of cancer. This is a big shift from the 1950s, when deaths related to heart disease were more than double of those related to cancer." The states where cancer has already passed heart disease as the leading killer are: Arizona, California, Colorado, Delaware, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Massachusetts, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin and West Virginia.

TAKE CONTROL: While conventional medicine has little to offer outside the standard "cut, poison, burn" approach, new evidence suggests simple dietary modifications could effectively both treat and prevent the majority of these cancers. Contrary to conventional teaching, nuclear genetic defects do not cause cancer. Mitochondrial damage happens first, which then triggers nuclear genetic mutations. Mitochondrial dysfunction is at the core of virtually all diseases, learning to take advantage of nutritional ketosis is one of the best defenses you have. Nutritional ketosis works because it boosts mitochondrial function and effectively drives down inflammation.
