Diet and lifestyle necessary to achieve healthy aging
Walter Willet, editorial writer for JAMA (the esteemed ‘Journal of the American Medical Association’) once wrote, “The commonly held belief that aging routinely requires pharmacological management has unfortunately led to neglect of diet and lifestyle as the primary means of achieving healthy aging”. What better way for the Medical Association to say that disease is a result of poor lifestyle, excess toxins or nutrient deficiency? Therefore it is reversible, with the proper diet (including dietary supplements), and proper lifestyle (including regular use of “clean” personal care products) should be our primary staple for achieving healthy aging.
Mirko Beljanski’s work showing a causal link between cancer and exposure to carcinogens in the environment made him a pioneer in environmental medicine.
Instead of continuing with the old paradigm of the ‘80s—namely, that cancers are caused by mutations in the genetic code that ultimately lead to uncontrolled cell division, the hallmark of most tumor cells, M. Beljanski focused on the damaging effects of carcinogens on DNA structure. (Beljanski’s observations on the central role of DNA destabilization in cancer have since been reproduced by Donald Malins at the Pacific Northwest Research Institute in Seattle, Washington).
The good news is that if cancer results from a progressive and cumulative destabilization of the DNA, then we have the power to act—eliminate toxins and prevent cellular destabilization and multiplication. This is a new avenue of research, so far very promising in the cancer field, which for the first time, empowers the patient.
Now, according to JAMA, this approach encompasses not only the fight against cancer, but could work for the entire aging process!
