19. Stress & Cancer - a Candid Conversation with Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy   Dr. Connealy is leading a cancer prevention revolution that focuses on treating the patient with the disease and not the disease of the patient while determining the origin of the illness. She is the author of The Cancer Revolution, which has revolutionized the landscape of cancer treatment.   We had a riveting discussion about the fact that the death rate from cancer hasn't changed in the last 50 years. I find that statement shocking. Millions of dollars are invested yearly in cancer research; how could it be possible that the death rate from cancer hasn't changed?   In her book, Dr. C. sites a Japanese study that found that we have more than 75 million cancer cells in our body at any given time, and usually, our immune system keeps these cells in check. But when the immune system becomes compromised over a long period, these cells can begin to multiply.   Give today's podcast episode a listen to hear her fascinating answer!   Other topics we covered: Stress Only 5% or less of our cancer risk appears to be due to genetics.

Unfortunately, eating plastic isn't doing our health any favors.
