5. Phytochemkals

2. Phytochemkals fuel
   cellular mechanisms to
   repair damaged DNA
   sequences, bringing the
   cell back to normal.
   3. Phytochemkals impede
   proliferation or duplication
   of cells with DNA damage.

   the DNA against

Cancer Is Much More Preventable than Treatable

The process of carcinogenesis entails an accumulation of mutations or

damage to our DNA (the cellular blueprint) over the course of twenty

to forty years. You must start protecting yourself today, not after you

find out you have cancer. Cancer is much more preventable than

treatable. Instead, many try to dig a well after their house is on fire.
