My grandmother had cancer twice and thank god she is still here after 15 yrs. And well my mom had cancer in her breast and now she was diagnosed again with both liver and bone cancer. She has started her chemo and the dr told her not to worry because he had great new medicine so, I have faith in god and in the dr that everything will turn out for the best. Now obviously this is hereditary and I know my chances are high. But, do you think eating very very healthy and working out might make my chances slimmer? I truly believe that the meat we eat today is unhealthy because of all the antibiotics and hormone growth they put. And I am also a believer that things like this may trigger or feed cancer. So do u think having a high diet of organics, fruits, veggies might really help? What do u think? I know that what is bound to happen, happens
look at how 8 & 9 yr old are already having there period. I didnt have mines till I was 12 I was a late bloomer.I think its all this food being process

Sadly, nothing will change your genetic predispositon.
But having predisposition does not mean that you will necessarily develop cancer. Of course eating healthy *lowers* your risk of cancer. Obesity, smoking, not eating your daily fruits and veggies are known factors that increase your chances of developping cancer. Also, if despite all this you develop it, being healthy and strong you have much more chance at remission than somebody with heart disease.
However, organic foods have not been proven to help. And this stuff about 8-9 years old having their period could have another, if somewhat more frightening cause. It has been shown that drinking water contains detectable amounts of hormones which are used for contraception (estrogens). Those hormones are released in the urine of girls taking them, and not removed by any water treatment up to now... And they could be causing male sterility as well. Scary. Anyway, they are not carcinogens, ie they do not induce cancer.
Eating a reasonnable amount of meat, because it brings you complete high quality protein, folate, and easily digestible iron, is also part of a healthy diet. If you are a vegetarian, you have to balance your food consequently to get the same things.
My advice is to have an overall reasonnable, healthy diet, including meat if you like it, and a good lifestyle. And stop worrying ! It's not good for you, as it suppresses the immune system, which is helping you fight against cancer.

My uncle also took great care of hisself and died of brain cancer. You said you have faith in God. He is the only cure for cancer there is. I believe that if it is meant for you to die of cancer you will, and if not, you wont.

you have some good insight, check out Richard Schulze at HERBDOC. What is caused by environmental factors can likely be cured by environmental factors. Also check out Lorraine Day's story.
