Without blood supplies nutrients and oxygen to the cancer cells, cancer will not happen. In fact, microscopic tumor can be found in the human anytime, 100% of people over 70 years old may have microscopic thyroid tumor, but without blood supply, the tumor will never be dangerous.
Dr. Judah Folkman (Dr. William Li's mentor) was the pioneer and authority on the field of angiogenesis. He said microscopic tumor is cancer without sickness, and he proposed cancer is angiogenesis-dependent, and our body has a check and balance mechanism that can regulate the growth of excessive blood vessels and in turn form a defense mechanism to cancer.
Unfortunately, if angiogenesis starts going wild, cancer cells can grow exponentially fast with plenty of nutrient and oxygen supplied by blood vessels. If the tipping point of turning microscopic tumor to maglinanr cancer is due to abnormal angiogenesis, then the revolution should develop the "anti-angiogenesis therapy". By using this therapy plus traditional chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and operation procedure, some cancers are effective for longer survival rate.
However, not all cancers are effective, Dr Li realized maybe treated too late, and cancer already metastasized. He natural food that can prevent abnormal angiogenesis, so as to boost up the immune system, in other words, can we eat to kill cancer?
