How to Reduce Cancer Risk by 90% Using Evidence-Based Natural Compounds

The Most Practical ROOT™ Protocol Solution in the Modern Era

Article Excerpts:

This is the first time a 90% cancer prevention threshold has been achieved using six or fewer readily available, over-the-counter agents—making it both scientifically sound and practically achievable for the majority of people.

The author then traces hidden sources of carcinogens that drive cancer:

  • processed meat at 3 daily servings elevates colorectal cancer risk to levels comparable to heavy smoking
  • sugar-sweetened beverages create a metabolic environment that systematically promotes cancer growth
  • advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) caused by high temperature cooking, food additives and ultra-processed foods (UPFs) operate as independent carcinogens multiplying cancer risk beyond sugar and processed ingredients alone, driving chronic inflammation, promoting tumor cell growth and immune evasion and creating hypoxic conditions
  • fast food
  • synergistic combination of the 4 carcinogens listed above creates catastrophic AGE accumulation – a continuous state of cellular damage and malignant transformation
By eliminating the carcinogen listed and adopting Mediterranean-style eating, overall cancer is reduced 50-66% across multiple cancers – which rivals or exceeds pharmaceutical interventions.

Dosage Protocol: Nine Agents Daily

  1. Vitamin D3: 1000-2000 IU
  2. Curcumin: 500-1000 mg + piperine
  3. EGCG: 400-800 mg
  4. Omega-3 (EPA/DHA): 1000-2000 mg (500-1000 mg for prostate)
  5. Aged Garlic Extract: 2.4 mL daily OR 600-900 mg standardized extract
  6. Sulforaphane: 40-60 mg daily (2 tablespoons fresh broccoli sprouts OR supplement)
  7. Berberine: 900-1500 mg daily (300-500 mg three times daily before meals
  8. Monk Fruit Extract (Mogroside V): 150-250 mg mogrosides daily (as sweetener replacement)
  9. Stevia Extract (Stevioside): 750-1500 mg daily (250-500 mg three times as sweetener replacement)

All can be taken once daily with food. Excellent safety: No significant interactions. Minimal side effects.

To achieve even greater benefits, fast overnight 16 hours 2-3 days per week.
The author gives his routine implementation of the 9 ingredient protocol as well as this cost comparison:
  • Nine-supplement protocol: ~$80-120 per month (preventive intervention achieving 93% cancer risk reduction)​
  • Single chemotherapy cycle: $10,000-30,000 (palliative intervention with modest survival benefit)​

USDA Issues New Food Pyramid

https://www.2ndsmartestguyintheworld.com/p/bombshell-maha-win-rfk-jr-orders?

BOMBSHELL MAHA WIN: RFK Jr. Orders Americans To “EAT REAL FOOD” & Resets The USDA Food Pyramid

Until just now, the wholly corrupt and captured USDA was pushing a food pyramid that can only be described as a crime against health…This original food pyramid was promoting all of the cheap high carb and high sugar GMO poisons at the expense of nutrient dense foods precisely because just like BigPharma owns the FDA, BigAgra used to own the the USDA.

Thanks to ultra-processed foods, sugary drinks, rampant glyphosate contamination and other pernicious dietary fare, the U.S. is currently in the midst of a national health emergency, with nearly 90% of health care spending going toward treating chronic disease, much of it linked to diet, lifestyle, Modified mRNA slow kill bioweapon “vaccines,” and vaccines in general.

More than 70% of American adults are overweight or obese, and nearly 1 in 3 adolescents has prediabetes due to toxic diets that are inducing a chronic disease epidemic. It has gotten so dire that most young Americans are unable to qualify for military service, which is now for all intents and purposes a national emergency.

But if you go to the USDA’s swanky new site real food, you are treated to the following revised healthful approach.

According to Professor Peter St Onge, Ph.D:

USDA issues New Food Pyramid
– Meat is king
– Whole milk, not skim milk
– Eggs are off the naughty list
– Sugary fruits demoted
– Lucky Charms no longer rank higher than steak
The world is healing.

EPA Approves 2nd ‘Forever Chemical’ Pesticide in Two Weeks & Cloned Meat Reportedly Circulating Without Labels

Trump EPA Approves Its Second ‘Forever Chemical’ Pesticide in Two Weeks

November 20, 2025 | Source: Center for Biological Diversity

WASHINGTON— The Environmental Protection Agency today approved the highly persistent pesticide isocycloseram for golf courses, lawns and food crops such as oranges, tomatoes, almonds, peas, and oats. The pesticide is a “forever chemical” — one of a group called PFAS, or perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances.

Today’s announcement marks the second approval of a PFAS pesticide since Trump took office, with the first approval coming just two weeks before. The administration plans to approve three more PFAS pesticides in the coming year.

“To approve more PFAS pesticides amid the growing awareness of the serious, long-term dangers from these forever chemicals is absurdly shortsighted,” said Nathan Donley, environmental health science director at the Center for Biological Diversity. “The undeniable reality is that the Trump administration is knowingly putting the nation’s children at greater risk of developing serious reproductive and liver harms for generations to come.”

Isocycloseram is classified as moderately persistent to persistent and is known to transform into 40 smaller PFAS chemicals, some of which are much more highly persistent.  (See link for article)

Cloned Meat Reportedly Circulating in U.S. Food Supply Without Labels

November 24, 2025

By the National Health Federation
According to a report from Slay News, unlabeled cloned “beef” and “pork” are already being sold in American supermarkets and restaurants, raising serious transparency and safety concerns. Slay News

Under existing FDA rules, meat from cloned animals and their offspring is considered “safe and nutritious,” while the agency does not require any special labeling. Slay News+2CBS News+2  Unlike the FDA, Health Canada recently paused a plan to greenlight cloned meat without safety reviews or labeling after public backlash. The situation in Canada has amplified public scrutiny.

Critics, such as the National Health Federation (NHF), have long contended that these policies deprive consumers not only of the basic right to know what they’re eating but of healthy food as well. Moreover, the NHF and others raise a range of concerns, from ethical and animal-welfare issues to long-term health risks and lack of genetic stability.

As manufactured “demand” for synthetic or biotechnologically derived foods is pushed upon consumers, they increasingly reject this “fake” food and are calling at least for clearer labeling rules and a reexamination of the FDA’s earlier approval of cloned meat from as far back as 2008, so that informed consumers can avoid this unhealthy food, which is also reportedly found in soup.

It has been reported on X that Campbell’s Soup is using bioengineered meat (printed from a 3D printer) in its soup, as per Campbell’s Soup Vice President Bally in a supposed “rant” that he made at a meeting about the poor quality of the company’s products. Campbell’s Soup denies the poor-quality claim but has not, to NHF’s knowledge, addressed the real issue of whether or not it is indeed using 3D-printed meat in its soups.

The Florida State Attorney General, James Ulthmeier, was concerned enough to announce on X that the State’s Consumer Protection Division is launching an investigation into the quality of Campbell’s products. He said, “Florida law bans lab-grown meat. Our Consumer Protection division is launching an investigation and will demand answers from Campbell’s.”

As NHF President Scott Tips says, “Instead of aiming for healthier and more nutrition-dense foods for consumers, food companies are taking the low road of developing highly processed foods with very low nutritional value that can also actually pose a health risk. We see this at Codex Alimentarius meetings of late, where the INGO front groups representing food manufacturers are pushing for the global adoption of standards that would allow them to sell this lab-grown ‘Franken-meat’ worldwide. And there are not even adequate label warnings that would allow consumers to differentiate between the ultra-processed meat and the traditional. If consumers were informed, then they could exercise their free-market power to drive the fake meat out of the marketplace by refusing to buy it.”

ACTION: Supplements Threatened in New GRAS Bill

https://anh-usa.org/supplements-threatened-in-new-gras-bill/

Supplements Threatened in New GRAS Bill

Supplements Threatened in New GRAS Bill

Another ill-conceived effort to reform the Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) pathway directly threatens access to countless safe supplements and natural products. Action Alert!


THE TOPLINE

  • Rep. Pallone’s GRAS reform bill would eliminate the self-affirmed GRAS pathway and replace it with an FDA pre-approval system—raising costs, reducing competition, and threatening access to many safe, natural supplement ingredients.
  • The bill gives FDA broad new powers to retroactively challenge existing ingredients and to reassess GRAS substances without considering dose, opening the door to EU-style bans on nutrients essential for health.
  • While transparency reforms are needed, abolishing the “self-GRAS” pathway entirely would overwhelm FDA and harm consumers, all while failing to address the real problem: the risk assessment approach used by the agency itself that has allowed many dangerous food additives to remain on the US market.

Over the last few months, we’ve been telling you about federal bills aimed at reforming how food and supplement ingredients come to the market through the “Generally Recognized as Safe” (GRAS) pathway. These bills have come on the heels of HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. identifying the elimination of dangerous food additives as a priority, asking the FDA to explore eliminating the “self-GRAS” pathway, whereby companies certify an ingredient as GRAS and add it to food without notifying the agency.

We’ve argued that many of these proposals, however well-intentioned, are misguided. Yes, we all want safer food. Yes, some unscrupulous companies may take advantage of the self-GRAS pathway to sneak bad ingredients into food. But the truth is that the US GRAS system is the primary mechanism used to get micronutrients—like vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and thousands of botanicals—as well as food additives like dyes, preservatives, thickeners and a whole host of other additives that have technological, rather than nutritional, functions, onto the US market.

This means that if you set up roadblocks and pre-market approvals for the food additives that any health-conscious consumer might have concerns about, you also threaten consumer access to thousands of entirely safe, natural ingredients which come to the market as GRAS—including many of the ingredients in supplements you care about. Changing the entire regime into a de facto pre-market approval system, with the FDA as the gatekeeper, is, as we wrote in our white paper on this topic, like throwing the baby out with the bathwater. It will have the effect of reducing consumer access to some of the healthiest ingredients that are both know to be safe and proven to be of benefit to health. It will also impact the smaller, more innovative manufacturers and suppliers the most by creating regulatory barriers that are only accessible to big players. This is exactly what we don’t want because it ends up depriving citizens of choice.

A Push for Reform That Misses the Mark

bill introduced by Rep. Frank Pallone (D-NJ) to reform the GRAS system makes many of the same mistakes as the other bills we’ve covered previously (here and here). Rep. Pallone’s bill proposes eliminating ‘self-GRAS’ entirely, requiring companies to submit detailed notifications to the FDA on new GRAS substances; only after the FDA has issued a written statement to not object to the GRAS notice can that ingredient be used. This is a pre-approval system for GRAS ingredients, plain and simple, which will increase costs, decrease competition, and eliminate many safe, healthy ingredients from the marketplace.

Speaking to the problems with this bill, ANH General Counsel Jonathan Emord said, “Regrettably, Congressman Frank Palone’s bill eliminates all future self-GRAS but grandfathers all prior self-GRAS determinations, leaving in the market the very subset of unsafe food additives in need of removal. The bill is underinclusive and overinclusive, failing to direct government to target demonstrably unsafe food additives for market removal, whether FDA approved or self-GRAS—the approach ANH advocates in our white paper on the subject).”

A Dangerous Expansion of FDA Power

Further, the FDA is handed the authority to require a GRAS notice for any ingredient considered GRAS before the enactment of the bill, giving the agency arbitrary authority to go after ingredients it doesn’t like. You can bet that natural substances and supplements that compete with drugs are on the hit list.

The Precautionary Principle Problem

The bill also requires the FDA to reassess 10 GRAS ingredients every three years, looking at, among other things, whether the ingredient is carcinogenic or can cause reproductive or developmental issues—without specifying that the assessment should be based on the intended use and dose. This pushes us directly into the problems caused by relying on the precautionary principle which dominates assessments by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), thatwe wrote about previously, that have been catastrophic for consumer choice in Europe.

Emord also spoke to this issue: “This bill invites all new food additives to be assessed for carcinogenicity and mutagenicity without regard to dose. That undermines the historic toxicological basis for adulteration law—in effect, the Paracelsian Principle—wherein dose determines toxicity. Without that limitation on the exercise of government power, FDA may well adopt the Precautionary Principle as used in the EU, which gives essentially unbridled discretion to the government to remove food additives on cancer or birth defect grounds without having to prove those effects result from the form or dose levels actually being recommended. That approach would, if applied to existing food additives and other GRAS ingredients, cause many to be banned that are health enhancing, such as those containing selenium. That is because many substances we commonly consume, and are essential for good health, become carcinogenic or mutagenic at high dose levels. It is a foundational truism of toxicology that everything—even water—is toxic at some dose level.

The upshot is, under bills like Rep. Pallone’s, we risk losing access to safe, health-promoting ingredients due to a misapplication of the precautionary principle. This is a principle that gathered momentum decades back as a means of limiting exposure to environmental chemicals like pesticides and air pollutants to which exposure has no benefits, only the potential for risk. So when regulators now apply this same principle to substances like nutrients that have distinct benefits, they risk using the inevitable uncertainty in the science to eliminate exposure (altogether or at least a beneficial levels), so depriving us of benefits.

Transparency Is Needed—But This Isn’t It

None of this is to say that there aren’t problems with the current GRAS system. We’ve laid out these issues in detail in our recent white paper, Reforming GRAS: Food Safety Without Sacrifice. Notably, the drive towards more transparency is crucial. It is not acceptable that companies can self-certify an ingredient as safe and add it to our food without any transparency or accountability. That’s why, among other recommendations in our white paper, we call for the creation of a GRAS Transparency Register, making all GRAS determinations public for review by independent experts, consumer groups, and researchers.

The Real Source of Harmful Additives: FDA Approvals

There’s a common misconception that the self-affirmed GRAS pathway is the main culprit behind the flood of harmful ingredients in our food supply. But many of the additives most often cited by critics—Red 40, Yellow 5, titanium dioxide, potassium bromate, aspartame, sodium nitrite, and BHA—have actually been reviewed and approved by the FDA, either as food or color additives or through the GRAS process itself. These substances were greenlit despite substantial evidence of health risks. The real issue, then, is that most harmful additives were approved through official FDA channels—not industry exploitation of loopholes.

A Better Path Forward

Abolishing the self-GRAS pathway altogether, as proposed by Rep. Pallone’s bill as well as other bills, would wreak havoc on the food and dietary supplement industries and create an enormous workload for the FDA, which the agency would likely be unable to manage given current staffing. Creating another de facto pre-market approval system undermines the original purpose of the GRAS pathway: to streamline the introduction of safe ingredients, including many natural ingredients, into food.

We need lawmakers to hear from YOU, their constituents, that real reform means not throwing the nutrient baby out with the GRAS bathwater.

ACTION: Reject Neonic Seed Treatments, GMO Wheat, & SHAM GRAS Act

The following are important developments we must act against now.  A new study has shown that the world’s most used insecticides (neonics) damage male fertility in rodents.

The scientists analyzed 21 laboratory studies between 2005 and 2025. Despite differences in design, species, and dosing, more than two-thirds found neonic exposure damaged testicular function and sperm: Sperm counts dropped. Sperm moved more slowly. Shapes became abnormal, and hormone levels changed.

The effects worsened with higher doses or more prolonged exposure to neonics, causing more severe or permanent injury.

“Research links neonic exposures in the womb to birth defects of the  heart and brainautism-like symptoms, and reduced cognitive abilities. Adult exposures are also associated with lower testosterone and sperm quality and count, altered insulin regulation, and changes to fat metabolism,” according to the National Resources Defense Council.

This is alarming, given that over 95 percent of pregant women have neonics in their bodies, with the highest levels in Hispanic women, and levels are on the rise.

Beware: drinking water treatment does not remove neonics from water.

TAKE Action to ban bee-killing neonic seed treatments.

U.S. Commercial Development of Transgenic HB4 GMO Wheat is Now Underway

Capital Press:

“Argentina-based Bioceres Crop Solutions Corps and the Colorado Wheat Research Foundation will jointly develop and commercialize HB4 wheat in the United States.  HB4 is a transgenic wheat trait that incorporates drought tolerance transferred through a sunflower gene. According to Bioceres, HB4 wheat demonstrated up to a 43% yield improvement in targeted environments.

The USDA in August 2024 approved HB4, the first GMO trait ever deregulated in the U.S. for wheat. As part of the collaboration, Bioceres will grant the research foundation ‘exclusive, sublicensable rights’ to the HB4 trait in the U.S. territory. The foundation will serve as ‘trait manager,’ facilitating broad access to HB4 wheat for third-party breeding programs and commercial channels, and leading engagement with U.S. stakeholders, according to a joint announcement from Bioceres and the foundation.

The parties will work together with industry participants to develop, register and commercialize new ‘broad-spectrum’ herbicide formulations tailored for HB4 wheat.”

Introducing the SHAM GRAS Act, a Bill To Weaken Food Chemical Safety

Sarah Sorscher reports for Food Safety News:

“Last week, some of the biggest players in Big Food, including household names like Nestlé, Coca-Cola, General Mills, Hormel and PepsiCo, teamed up to launch a lobbying coalition to permanently undermine food safety in the United States.

The new coalition is purportedly seeking to reform the “Generally Recognized as Safe” (GRAS) loophole, a federal policy that allows food companies to self-certify their ingredients as safe and then introduce them into the market without even informing FDA. At the same time, there are rumblings of Sen. Roger Marshall R-KS, introducing a federal bill to amend the GRAS process, pairing it with a preemption provision, a move that aligns with the interests of the new group.

It may come as a surprise to no one that the new front group, ironically titled ‘Americans for Ingredient Transparency,’ has a special interest in taking on federal food chemical safety reform.”

Learn how this preemption effort will be sweeping, as the group aims to include not just ingredient safety, but also safety assessments, registrations, and reporting and labeling requirements
