The 20 minutes speech has provided us, the Cancer Fellows, some very useful information, e.g. the theory about how cancer cells grow (metastases) and become harmful, the concept of anti-angiogenesis and how it may help in fighting cancer, the new drugs in this direction, how (and what) we may eat to starve cancer, as well as how it may help in obesity (another alarming medical issue affecting 9% of world population).
My favorite part is on the diet management. In fact, under the encouragement of some Cancer Fellows, I have started this diet management a few months back. In a nutshell, eat/drink more of fruits and vegetables (and I also cut red meat and sea foods with shell) while still continue to consume white meat (especially fish). I also conducted some more research through the internet and discovered some minor variation on what kind of fruits/vegetables to eat/consume versus different kind of cancers (e.g. lung cancer should avoid having carrot). Like Dr Li said in his speech, this diet (change) can be based on local crops, and therefore it is inexpensive and sustainable. (*I actually have my reservation of people seeking and eating expensive processed health food products, or some called alternative medicines/supplements.)
The basic idea is "to take good care of yourself", know what you are doing (and eating), and work closely with the professionals (your doctors, etc.). The body (and life) is yours to take good care of. No one can do a better job than you!
A few of you are so eager to see the trophy that was mentioned in the Sing Tao interview. Above is the one, it says at the bottom "They don't make Dads like you any more!".
