She also shared about how important to safe guard the liver and not taking multi vitamins and TCM medication.

At one point, she told me "I am not trying to scare you about liver cancer, kidney transplant, breast cancer, colon cancer and hospitalization cost. This is real and it is happening everyday." I learned a lot from my insurance friend and how important it is to even have prevention by practicing Nutritional Immunology.
At the same time I shared with her about Nutritional Immunology lifestyle and the importance of safeguarding our immune system to prevent diseases. Nutritional Immunology advocates prevention over cure. To sum up, cancer is not only a result of what we eat, but also what we do not eat. Diseases don't happen overnight. We can start by eating a wide variety of Antioxidant, Phytochemicals and Polysaccharides food and live a healthy lifestyle-exercise moderately, get sufficient sleep and rest and stay positive.
Come learn from Dr Chen how we can use diet to build immunity and prevent cancer.
