Richard Weeder, MD, FACS,  is a surgeon who takes a holistic approach to helping people with cancer.  Dr. Weeder developed cancer himself, then cured himself by learning how cancer works.  He has used this knowledge to help patients learn to cope with and understand cancer on the physical, mental and emotional levels.  Dr. Weeder detailed his findings in his book, The Key to Cancer.

In addition to his medical degree, Dr. Weeder earned a degree in Religion from Princeton University.  He is also founder and director of the Aloha Cancer Education Institute in Hawaii, but makes his home in New Jersey.  For more information, please visit the Aloha Cancer Education website or send Dr. Weeder an e-mail Dik1536789@aol.com.

In what has become known as the Adventist Health Study 2, researchers at Loma Linda University have examined the diets of over 34,000 Seventh-Day Adventists.  Seventh-Day Adventists tend to be very mindful of their health habits, and many of them are vegetarian.  Studies done on this population have found that in general, the Seventh-Day Adventists suffer from less heart disease and cancer.  The most recent study, published in the April 2011 edition of Diabetes Care, show that Adventists also suffer less frequently from metabolic syndrome, a condition which tends to lead to the development of diabetes and heart disease. 

For more information, please visit the study's website.  An abstract of the article may be found at the online edition of Diabetes Care.
