Did you see Larry King Live where Suzanne Sommers informed us that she was a victim of breast cancer?
Until then, the glute and thigh-dominating Ms. Sommers was thought to be a paragon of good health. Not only that, legions of her fans followed the Suzanne Sommers Diet.
Suzanne recognized 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.
Like us, you have over 30,000 genes that provide the encoded instructions to: (1) Shape your body and (2) Make it work.
Each gene consists of a section of DNA, which looks like a crooked ladder. It’s actually the flights of the ladder, made up of just four molecules that can be arranged in seemingly endless combination, that will tell a cell what to do. Cells are often told to make 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 a missing, insufficient, or malformed protein, the problem can usually be attributed to a fault in the DNA.
The concept of human disease genes is nothing new. But compare the ongoing effort to reveal the genes believed to separate diseased from healthy individuals with the conclusion of a study of 90,000 identical twins published in the New England Journal of Medicine in July 2000:
“There is a low absolute probability that 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 common sites in monozygotic twins, The concordance rate is generally less than 15%.”
How can it be that, with respect to cancer in identical twins, 85% of the time human disease genes don’t act like human disease genes?
What is the difference between the twin with breast cancer [pretend that is Suzanne Sommers] and her sister cancer free?
The answer: All metabolic enzyme systems function normally in the breasts of the non-cancer twin.
Let’s go back to the theoretical genetic outcome of missing, malformed, or insufficient proteins doing the cellular work. The proteins that do cellular work are our metabolic enzymes.
We have over 2000 of them. These organic molecules not only have minerals within their chain, but each metabolic enzyme requires an activating mineral to mobilize it. Minerals also activate hormones.
Here’s what the “experts” conveniently neglect:
Our genes do not determine the availability of minerals that serve as activators, or as inventory for the cellular construction of our metabolic enzymes. That depends on the quality, the nutrient density of the foods in our diet.
The Suzanne Sommers diet has one thing in common with all other diets:
The foods in your diet and any other diet are devoid of minerals.
When we consume mineral-deficient food and water, this leads to the breakdown of our metabolic enzyme systems. That’s when we start to lose immunity to degenerative diseases, which is what happened to Suzanne Sommers.
