The risk of cancer for Hispanics living in Florida is 40 percent higher than for those who live in their native countries, a puzzling new study finds.

The finding holds even after researchers corrected for the increase detection rates in the United States. And access to health care did not make things better.

“This suggests that changes in their environment and lifestyles make them more prone to develop cancer,” said Dr. Paulo S. Pinheiro, a researcher in the Department of Epidemiology at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.

The results are detailed in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention.

Cancers of the colon and rectum among Cubans and Mexicans who moved to the United States was more than double that in Cuba and Mexico. Lung cancer among Mexican and Puerto Rican women living in Florida was also double the rates in their countries of origin.

Other cancer rates that were higher in the states:

* Tobacco-related cancers among Cuban men.
* Liver cancer among Puerto Rican men.
* Cervical cancer among Mexican women.

The findings also show that different ethnic groups face different risks.

“Don’t assume that all Hispanics are the same,” said Amelie G. Ramirez, director of the Institute for Health Promotion Research. “Physicians should probe Hispanic patients more on their background and family history to identify any problematic behaviors that could contribute to health problems.”

The causes of cancer are myriad, from inherited propensities to viruses to a range of environmental factors and lifestyle choices.

Ramirez, who was not involved in the research, notes that nearly one in every three U.S. residents will be Hispanic by 2050.

In a statement from the American Association for Cancer Research, Ramirez and Pinheiro both suggest Hispanics avoid adopting unhealthy lifestyles that may be more common in the United States, such as smoking, drinking and bad diets.

A few days ago, my children’s nanny, Ika, passed a beef dish over to the neighbor’s maid, also named Ika, who has not eaten meat in 2 years. Apparently, the family she stays with are very strict vegetarians. They don’t even eat onions and garlic.

Anyways, after she ate the beef, she broke out in rashes! It could only mean one thing. She’s allergic to beef !

Beef is an integral food for Indonesians, just like beef is something Americans eat all the time, like beef steaks and hamburger. So she’s going to have a hard time when she goes back home.

The problem is, she was never aware that she was allergic to beef …. at all. So it’s something good for her to know. Unsuspected allergies can cause multiple problems in the body if it’s not removed from the system. The body will try to fight the allergy, and the cells in the body will remain inflamed when it’s sick. And a sick body can shut down. The body will try to tell us something when it’s sick. You may get stomachaches, or maybe liver problems, maybe headaches, or worse cancer.

A lot of people have allergies, but they are not aware of it. And get surprised when they fall ill.

So listen to your body now. Don’t wait until there’s something seriously wrong before you act.

ps Finally, I got my own domain name. Do you like it? It needs a bit of sprucing, and I’m still learning how to use this sytem, which I admit, I’m not used to. I’m currently in the process of shifting my blog from http://eatrawfoodtoday.blogspot.com/ so, meanwhile, please bear with me. You can still visit my old blog to read the old posts.

Some parasite problems may result in some of these symptoms.
Do you have them?

- foul smelling bowel movement issues

- suffering with chronic illnesses which doctors say have no cure or they don’t know what caused these problems?

- poor colon health

- urinary urgency for years…getting up as many as six times in one night.

About 90% of the human population has some sort of parasite, one time or another. Consider this. Flu bugs are parasites. So are bacteria. A lot of parasites are microscopic. Others like the tape worm can be between 3 feet or even bigger! Many of these parasites causes familiar problems like those above.

A lot of medical practitioners now believe that bad parasites can cause imbalance in the body, and one of the results is cancer. The cervical cancer, for example is caused by human papilloma virus. Which is why, it is important to stay healthy, making sure parasites do not overtake your body. You should try to get rid of parasites.

Here’s how you check your stools to see if you have anything weird coming out from your body.

1. Sit a fine plastic wire mesh bowl on the toilet seat
2. Poop into the plastic bowl
3. Slowly rinse the poop with running water, while stirring the “shit” (so to speak) with a disposable chopstick
4. Look at the remains of the poop and compare it with the pictures in this blog
