After feeling betrayed by her body, following a uterine cancer diagnosis nearly 17 years ago, actress, author, cancer survivor and advocate Fran Drescher wrote a best-selling book titled “Cancer Schmancer.” She realized after going on a book tour that there were millions of other patients with cancer and survivors who felt the same way. This is when the Cancer Schmancer Movement was born.
“The best cure for cancer is not to get sick in the first place.” That has become actress, author, cancer survivor and advocate Fran Drescher’s motto in life.
One of its outreach programs, Detox Your Home, gives people the tools to identify toxins, eliminate them and reduce their risk of cancer and other chronic disease. According to research, 90 percent of cancers are stimulated by
lifestyle and environmental factors. Therefore, each individual holds some control over what they expose your body to.
In an interview with
CURE, Drescher offered up 10 useful tips to get started on your detox. They include:
1. Become aware of what you put IN your mouth, ON your skin and AROUND your home and garden. Just the simple act of being conscious about your food, cosmetics and household cleaners is a good first step toward reducing toxic exposure.
