Bishop Earl Paulk, Mega-Church Pioneer, Dies of Cancer

Former Atlanta evangelical leader Archbishop Earl Paulk died early Sunday morning after a lengthy battle with cancer. Paulk, 81 years old, was admitted to the Atlanta Medical Center where he died.

 

Paulk helped co-found the Cathedral at Chapel Hill in Decatur, Ga. and oversaw its rise in stature to a membership that exceeded 10,000 in the early 1990s. Noted as "one of the country’s first great independent mega-churches, it gained an international reputation for combining liturgical arts, such as dance and drama, with cutting-edge social ministry”.

How to Stop Cancer before it Starts
Approximately one out of every three Americans will get cancer in their lifetime. The National Cancer Institute links one-third of all cancer cases to the use of tobacco and another third to the foods that we eat. In other words, approximately two-thirds of cancer cases can be prevented with diet and lifestyle modification.

Chinese and Japanese men and women have significantly lower rates of prostate and breast cancer than American men and women—approximately 90 percent less breast cancer in women and about 90 percent less prostate cancer in men. One of the main reasons for this is because of their high consumption of soy products. Even though the U.S. is the largest producer of soy in the world, Americans consume very little soy protein, if any. The Japanese people alone consume approximately thirty times more soy products than Americans.

What’s so great about soy? Soy contains powerful phytonutrients called isoflavones, such as genestein, which protect women from developing breast cancer and men from developing prostate cancer. Even if one has breast or prostate cancer, genestein will likely slow down the growth and the spread of cancer in the body.

I recommend that all my patients begin substituting soymilk and soy cheese for regular milk and cheese. I also encourage them to consume a soy protein drink daily. By mixing soymilk and frozen blueberries, strawberries, or other fruit in a blender, you can make a delicious and nutritious drink. This is an excellent way to start the day.

Many experts recommend around 35 to 40 grams of soy protein a day, which is the average amount of soy consumed by individuals in Taiwan. If you don’t enjoy soymilk, you can start by drinking half skim milk and half soymilk and then gradually increase the amount of soymilk. Other forms of soy include roasted soy nuts, tempeh, and tofu. One type of soy you should avoid is soybean oil because it is high in polyunsaturated fat. Also soy sauce, which is very high in sodium, should only be consumed in small amounts.

Another diet change I encourage is to decrease the consumption of saturated, polyunsaturated, and hydrogenated fats. This will also help reduce the risk of cancer. Saturated fats are found primarily in fatty cuts of meat, chicken skins, and dairy products—such as milk, cheese, butter, and ice cream. Polyunsaturated fats are found in sunflower oil, safflower oil, corn oil, soybean oil, and most salad dressings and cooking oils. Polyunsaturated fats actually cause more free radical damage to our body’s cells than saturated fats. This can eventually cause mutations in DNA resulting in cancer. Hydrogenated fats are found primarily in margarines and peanut butters.
Dr. Don Cobert, MD
I strongly recommend substituting extra virgin olive oil in place of polyunsaturated oils. Additionally, you can decrease your consumption of saturated fats by consuming extra lean free-range meats, skinning chicken, and choosing to bake or broil instead of frying. And eating red meat should be limited to once a week in the amount of about 4 ounces.

I also suggest that adults consume five to nine servings of fruits and vegetables a day, along with decreasing the consumption of sugar. This is important because sugar actually feeds cancer and decreases the function of the immune system.

Of equal importance is the increased consumption of high fiber foods. These include beans, peas, whole grain breads, oat bran, fruits, and ground flaxseeds. Approximately 25 to 35 grams of fiber is recommended each day.

And finally, begin a regular exercise program. Men and women that are out of shape are 300 percent more likely to develop cancer than those who exercise regularly. A walking program every other day for twenty to thirty minutes is an excellent program for helping to prevent cancer.

By implementing these simple suggestions, along with avoiding cigarette smoke, you can give your body a fighting chance against cancer—stopping it before it starts.

Natural Progesterone: The Miracle Hormone Cure for Women

progesteroneIt is surprising how little the medical community knows about progesterone, especially the consequences of a progesterone deficiency. In many cases, these consequences can be prevented with the use of natural progesterone replacement. It is fairly easy to diagnose women with low progesterone levels because these women are the ones who have PMS, severe menstrual cramps, headaches with their periods, and breast tenderness. They will be estrogen-dominant and very often will wind up with complications such as fibroids in the uterus and fibrocystic disease of the breast.
