Experts move step closer to understanding rise of young colon cancers
They’ve found that a combination of eating too much sugar and not enough fiber causes the gut to produce a bacteria that speeds up the aging of people’s cells.
This makes them more susceptible to mutations and damage that leads to cancer and less likely to be able to fight off the growth of tumor cells, according to new research presented at the world’s largest cancer conference this weekend.
Meanwhile, a separate study revealed at the conference theorizes that energy drinks could be partly fueling the colorectal cancer epidemic in under-50s.

Life Transformed: 25 Years of Heart Failure Gone in Just 1 Month
https://youtube.com/live/r1DmshHdlKI?si=Km8E0uR7qtMe5yVX
In this episode, witness the remarkable turnaround of a 61-year-old woman grappling with severe heart failure stemming from a lifetime of unhealthy habits, including smoking for 10 years and a poor diet.
After a recent hospitalization for heart failure, our patient started her journey to reclaim her health. She was prescribed a 105-day raw plant-based detox diet coupled with intermittent fasting.
Within just one month, her condition drastically improved.
She regained the ability to exercise, eliminated medications, and saw her heart’s pumping strength – her ejection fraction – double, from a mere 10% to 20%. Even her body’s signs of inflammation decreased significantly by 57%. Despite not achieving a normal ejection fraction, her functional status normalized without the need for heart failure medications.
Don’t miss this story! It’s a powerful testament to the life-changing impact of simple dietary interventions on severe heart disease.

How a Medical Mystery in Guam Led to a New Approach to Alzheimer’s Disease
May 2024
As part of his reporting for “The Last Alzheimer’s Patient” documentary, CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta travels to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, to learn more about an ethnobotanist’s audacious theory on treating Alzheimer’s disease. After Dr. Paul Cox, founder of the nonprofit Brain Chemistry Labs, discovered the source of a mysterious neurodegenerative disease afflicting people in Guam, those clues led him to a novel way of thinking about Alzheimer’s and a simple amino acid called L-serine. His novel theory and possible treatment are now being tested in Mild Cognitive Impairment patients at Houston Methodist. Watch the full documentary on CNN’s “The Whole Story” premiering on May 19 at 8p ET/PT and streaming on MAX on June 18. #cnn #News #health
