               most chronic illnesses, including cancer.  It’s important to understand

               what insulin actually does inside your body. Then we will look at how it

               affects cancer on a monumental scale.


               Insulin is a hormone produced by your pancreas, a flat, pear-shaped

                                                                   organ under your left rib cage.

                                                                   sugars or carbohydrates spike in
                                                                   your blood, a signal is sent to

                                                                   your pancreas to release

                                                                   insulin.  Insulin’s main job is to
                                                                   transport the glucose from your

                                                                   your cells have fuel.  Using a

                                                                   your pancreas is like the

               kitchen, your insulin is like the waiter and the table is like the cell.  In a
               healthy, balanced body, this process is flawless; everything works as it

               should, and your cells are fed and happy.


               However, there is a big problem when there is a prolonged

               overabundance of glucose in the blood, especially when it comes to
               cancer.  Over time, cells become resistant to the effects of insulin,

               which is trying to continually dump more fuel into them. This is called

               insulin resistance.  The signaling
