Worried by the alarming increase in the incidence of cancer
in the country, Dr. Olufemi Ladeinde, Consultant with the Rencare Integrated
Healthcare Services, has warned about the inherent danger in the use of some
toothpastes made of Fluoride and Sodium Lauryl Sulphate which are harmful to
the body.
The expert, who spoke to topsyoba
blogspot in an exclusive interview, noted that “Sodium Lauryl sulphate is
proven scientifically to be carcinogenic, it causes cancer. But because it is a
foaming substance and it is cheap, we find it in some of our toothpastes. And I
always ensure that whatever toothpaste I use does not have Sodium Lauryl sulphate
in it.”
Speaking on the effect of Fluoride on human’s body, he said
Fluoride is supposed to make teeth stronger, but it doesn’t do any such thing,
rather it creates a toxic point for the body itself.
He therefore urged each person to take responsibility for
what he or she consumes on a daily basis, notwithstanding what the
advertisements of such products claim. He said individuals should be weary of
going by advertisement claims, “because we are learning everyday that marketing
is a ploy to get us to buy what manufacturers what us to buy. So the onus is
now on you to go there to buy what is good for your health.”
For effective management of cancer conditions, he advised
cancer patients to reduce the quantity of animal produce in their diets, as
well as Increase the amount of vegetables and fruits they take on a daily basis.
He said they should detoxify as much as possible, remove toxins from their
bodies and environment. They should also ensure that the homes where they live
and the offices where they work do not conspire to aggravate their conditions.
”Cancer patients should endeavour to get the supplementation
of certain things that aid their conditions. For instance, Vitamin C and
protolitic enzymes, will enhance their immune system to be beefed up to power,”
he advised.
