Build Health: Go To School On Suzanne
Sommers' Misfortune
by: William R. Quesnell
Did you see the
Larry King Live show where Suzanne Sommers informed us she was a
victim of breast cancer?
Until then the
butt-mastering, thigh-mastering Ms. Sommers was thought to be a
model of good health. Not only that, legions of her fans followed
the Suzanne Sommers’ Diet.
Suzanne
acknowledged that as a model of good health she had to set an
example and eat the right foods. Well, if she was eating all the
right foods, why the cancer?
Some experts have
theorized that Ms. Sommers carries a disease gene that resulted in
her cancer.
Just like us, she
has more than 30,000 genes that provide the coded instructions to:
(1) Shape her body, and (2) Make it run.
Each gene consists
of a section of DNA, which looks like a twisted ladder. It is
actually the rungs of the ladder, comprised of just four molecules
that can be arranged in seemingly endless combination that will tell
a cell what to do. Often cells are told to produce a myriad of
proteins that will carry out the work of the body.
Medical science has
taken the position that when a disease results from an absent or
insufficient or malformed protein, the problem usually can be traced
to a glitch in the DNA.
The concept of
human disease genes is nothing new. But compare the ongoing effort
to reveal the genes thought to separate sick from healthy
individuals, against the conclusion from a study of 90,000 identical
twins reported in the New England Journal of Medicine in July, 2000:
"There is a low
absolute probability that a cancer will develop in a person whose
identical twin, a person with an identical genome and many similar
exposures, has the same type of cancer...For cancer at the common
sites in monozygotic twins, the rate of concordance is generally
less than 15%."
How can it be,
regarding cancer in identical twins, 85% of the time human disease
genes do not act as human disease genes?
What is the
difference between the twin with breast cancer [pretend that is
Suzanne Sommers] and her cancer-free sister?
The answer: All
metabolic enzyme systems function normally in the breasts of the
cancer-free twin.
Go back to the
theoretical genetic result of absent, or malformed or insufficient
proteins performing cellular work. The proteins that perform
cellular work are our metabolic enzymes.
We have over 2000
of them. Not only do these organic molecules have minerals within
their chain, each metabolic enzyme requires an activator mineral to
mobilize it. Minerals also activate hormones.
Here is what
"experts" conveniently neglect:
Our genes do not
determine the availability of minerals to serve as activators, or as
inventory for the cellular construction of our metabolic enzymes.
That depends upon the quality, the nutrient density, of the food in
our diet.
The Suzanne Sommers’
Diet has one thing in common with all other diets:
The foods in her
diet and every other diet lack minerals.
When we consume
food and water deficient in minerals, this leads to the break down
of our metabolic enzyme systems. That’s when we begin to lose
immunity to degenerative disease, which is what happened to Suzanne
Sommers.
