Its mostly widely known that catheterising can increase the risk of bladder cancer for people with Spinal Cord Injury so as with all our associated health condition..prevention and management is the key.
The common route and way forward with how professionals deal with our related issues is to give us meds but there are additional and more natural options that i feel could also explore.
When i started to read the article about the benefit of eating brocolli and its role in cancer protection i wasnt really expecting to discover that there was evidence to back up the claim to a great degree. I was quite surprised because contrary to what i thought..the evidence looks very reassuring and viable.
Eating brocolli, daily or even weekly is in fact, good for your health!
Take a look:
Recent research at Georgetown University found that isothiocyanate sticks to a defective protein found in cancerous cells. The broccoli-born chemical only binds to the protein when it is defective. The normal version is left alone.
Production of the protein in question is controlled by the gene p53. It normally helps stop a cell from replicating uncontrollably. But when gene p53 is mutated, the protein comes out defective. Not only that, cells with mutated p53 genes are also more resistant to chemical cancer treatments.
P53 mutations occur in half of all human cancers, including lung, breast and colon.
Eating your broccoli may help reduce cancer risks because the presence of isothiocyanate was observed to increase the death rate of cancer cells with the p53 mutation
