“Daily physical exercise for children is essential. Children can walk more, and spend time after school running, jumping rope, dancing and riding bikes.”
“Whenever possible, organic produce, fish, poultry, eggs, and other products are preferred.”
“Chemotherapy and radiation have side effects, and they can cause secondary cancers.”
“What kind of a society will we see in 2025? I am hopeful that it will be a 'prevention-based society.'”
“I am a board member and the volunteer director of medical and scientific content for Less Cancer.”
“It's challenging to conduct studies of carcinogenic chemicals on humans, because it would be unethical to knowingly expose humans to high levels of potential toxins.”
“We have come too far, and battled far too long with the tobacco industry, to make the mistake of trusting the e-cigarette manufacturers to do what is right for America's children.”
“How can we maximize the benefit of our nightly sleep? Turn off cell phones, computers, televisions, and any other distracting devices before bedtime to establish an atmosphere of calm and restfulness.”
“During the holiday season, try substituting a cranberry and club soda spritzer, or water with lemon or lime instead of an alcoholic beverage. You'll be saving calories, and reducing your cancer risk.”
“Mammography will remain a controversial issue because it is an imperfect tool involving ionizing radiation. Let's move beyond this method that is decades old and move forward with an early detection method for breast cancer that will not increase a women's cancer risk at all.”
“Prevention of cancer should be a national goal.”
“We'd like to believe that Americans live longer than most other people in the world. Sadly, that is not the case.”
“More than 40 years after the war on cancer was declared by President Richard Nixon in 1971, we are not much closer to preventing the disease. The National Cancer Institute has spent some $90 billion on research and treatment during that time. When have Americans ever waged such a long, drawn-out and costly war, with no end in sight?”

“Walking is a great way to exercise, and we can find ways to take additional steps each day by parking a car farther away from a destination, climbing stairs instead of taking the elevator or escalator, and walking during occasional breaks from sitting at a desk.”
“Imagine being able to predict and prevent cancer before it starts. If we gather the world's talent and expertise in a committed, targeted effort, great progress is possible.”
“How did we cure polio, smallpox and send a man to the moon? How did we decode the human genome in just 13 years? Collaboration. Focus on a specific goal, and teamwork.”
“You want two-thirds of that plate to be consisting of vegetables, whole grains and fruits, with one-third of it protein. That protein can be a bean - black beans, chick peas, lentils. It can be a lean protein, like fish or poultry.”
“Because of their chemical composition e-cigarettes are at least as harmful to your health as regular tobacco cigarettes are.”
“For years, I have been observing our 'cancer culture' and I have become convinced that it is not structured to do what we most need: to determine how to prevent cancer, and then implement our discoveries.”
