PREVENTION
One
primary focus of CACE’s work is geared towards cancer prevention
education through lifestyle training. These lifestyle factors include
diet, exercise, stress management, environmental exposures and detoxification.
Our thrust is primary prevention, not just early detection. The
following are some of the highlights of CACE’s prevention efforts
to date:
•
Focusing on prevention of cancer and prevention of recurrence
by creating awareness of science-based factors that cause or contribute
to cancer growth
• Providing individualized, one-on-one, lifestyle risk factor
assessments that go far beyond classical risk factors, and then
helping clients design game plans to address those factors through
personalized resources and referrals
• Encouraging clients to pay attention to biological terrain and
biochemical individuality as key ways to evaluate and minimize
risk for disease
• Conducting hundreds of classes, workshops and lectures
on cancer prevention, including Food Preparation for Cancer
Prevention; Breast Cancer: Is it What You're Eating or What's
Eating You?; Prostate Cancer: The Diet Connection; Cancer Prevention
Lifestyle; and Are You Digging Your Grave With Your Fork?
• Designing and implementing a series of dinner lectures on dietary
prevention of cancer at Philadelphia area health food markets
and restaurants
• Creating, organizing and presenting 12 annual Food &
Health Expo honoring National Nutrition Month each March,
featuring prominent speakers and quality exhibitors targeting
improved nutrition awareness
• Teaching cancer prevention in health education classes in local
elementary, middle and high schools. CACE believes that health-promoting
habits are formed early in life
• Developing and distributing various audiotapes and videotapes
of our prevention information, including the popular video, Breast
Cancer: The Diet Connection
• Publishing Immune Perspectives magazine for 12 years
and Health News & Views newsletter for 20 years—both
focusing on immunopotentiation and cancer prevention
• Sponsoring a research study (now in final stages of completion)
on perceived psycho-social support as an unrecognized risk factor
for cancer in a population of 1,452 women. This is a triple track,
retrospective, longitudinal study
