How is it we have read nothing about the latest cancer-prevention treatments announced by medical researchers, especially since they are "off the shelf"?

The treatment employs the use of an angiostat, which inhibits the minute cancer cells, when they first form, from producing a capillary to a blood vessel that enables them to get the nutrition they need to grow into a tumour.

One suggested treatment is the spice turmeric (an ingredient of curry powder, produced from a plant root), easily sprinkled into soups, stews or casseroles.

Another treatment is genistein, a chemical found in soy.

Could it be because these treatments do not involve the international drug companies they not receiving the publicity they deserve?

So you do not need to go to your GP or pharmacy to obtain a cancer prevention but, instead, to your nutritionist or food store.
