What are you doing to maintain your health so that you and your family can enjoy life for years to come?

My family has been plagued with cancer for as long as I can remember, and the prospect that I may very well come down with a type of cancer is very real. I was born in 1967, and so I remember just so much up until the mid-70s, but within ten years, my three aunts and my mother were stricken with and succumbed to breast cancer.

My mother was the last of the sisters to go in 1979. I was eleven years old at the time. In 1981, my twenty year-old brother discovered lumps where our lymph nodes live, and was diagnosed with a rare form of lymph node cancer. He died less than a year later. I was fifteen years old at the time.

At the same time, my father was diagnosed with cancer, but he was able to defeat it the first time around. In 1997, he was diagnosed for the third time with a type cancer, this time being a type of liver cancer. He died just a couple months after diagnosis. I was thirty years old at the time.

I am now 42, and I am sad to say that two more of my family members were diagnosed with cancer. A cousin of mine with breast cancer and my oldest brother with a rare type of brain cancer stage 4. This is not easy news to hear, and the older we get, the more clearly we realize that health can be very fleeting.

My brother is taking the bull by the horns now, and he has radically changed his diet. His immune system has been compromised, and he is working diligently to build it back up so it can fight for him. What are some of the things he is doing?

* raw food diet. That means nothing cooked over 120°.
* very limited red meat.
* juiced carrots with apple
* garlic
* no processed sugars and limited natural sugars
* the Best vitamins and supplements

Because of the uniqueness of Chad's situation, his diet is very extreme, but what can we do to improve our health and boost our immune systems? The last item I listed is vitamins and supplements. My wife and I have used them for years now, and they make a difference. Supplements are crucial to helping our bodies maintain that strong immune system along life's way.

Do yourself a favor and enjoy your health for as long as you have it by supplementing your diet with the best vitamins and supplements, and by eating right and exercise.
