OK, the very first line of epigenetic defence is lifestyle factors. Lifestyle factors are pretty much free and cannot be patented. Because they can’t be patented, researchers aren’t talking about it. There’s no money in it.

1) a vegan diet, the branch chain amino acids in animal products stimulate MTor add also contain growth hormones. We don’t want growth in cancer.
2) practice intermittent fasting, having even a 12 hour daily window of not eating decreases your risk of cancer recurrence, it’s been studied.
3) if you can do a prolonged fast, 7+ days. Have it supervised by your physician. Look at the work of Dr. Valter Longo.
4)everything should be organic, especially in the United States. Conventional food is loaded with pesticides, they are carcinogenic, and it’s an easy switch.
5) exercise, it has many biological effects on the human body that contribute to making the body inhospitable to cancer. It lowers, inflammation, combats, obesity, helps regulate hormones.
6) get your weight into the low range of a healthy BMI. Obesity contributes to cancer. Obesity is very inflammatory.
7) meditation, stress, hormones can contribute to cancer. Meditation helps control that.
8) get rid of all unhealthy relationships
9) make sure you have an actual purpose for living. Get a five year plan a 10 year plan, etc. have a future to look forward to.
10) join a community, a positive community. People who are going through what you’re going through where you can openly talk about what is really on your mind without retribution. Not a community of people who are anticipating a horrible death. A community of people who are hopeful and excited for the future. They are all over the place, on Facebook, meet ups, etc.
