The First Medical Revolution of the 21st Century

Imagine that one medical advancement held the promise to conquer cancer, perhaps within your lifetime. Now imagine that same advance has the potential to also end more than 70 of life's most threatening conditions, affecting one billion people worldwide. This is the promise of angiogenesis, the first medical revolution of the 21^st century.

-Dr. William Li

You can imagine how excited I was to share an article with my teacher, Jehangir Palkhivala, that contained a list of cancer preventive foods. Since he often suggests specific foods to heal physical (even psychological) issues, I knew he'd be interested in this! That was in early February and I have been waiting for Dr. William Li's talk on TED to become available for viewing.

Released last week, Dr. Li's twenty minute presentation is described by TED:

William Li presents a new way to think about treating cancer and other diseases: anti-angiogenesis, preventing the growth of blood vessels that feed a tumor. The crucial first (and best) step: Eating cancer-fighting foods that cut off the supply lines and beat cancer at its own game.

Enjoy.
