It is NOT a new concept that if you can make your body less conducive to cancer growth you will have a much lower risk of cancer development, growth and metastasis.
One of the greatest minds in the history of modern medicine (Dr Stephen Paget) eloquently noted this in a landmark paper on breast cancer metastases, in 1889!
