They also contain a resistant starch used by &#8220;good&#8221; bacteria in the colon to manufacture protective short-chain fatty acids.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Blueberries are considered one of the &#8220;superfoods&#8221; that have some of the highest antioxidant content.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Good Nutrition and Immunotherapy for Cancer: A Powerful Combination<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At our Issels\u00ae center, diet and other lifestyle factors are taken into consideration when creating our personalized immunotherapy for cancer treatments. <a href=\"http:\/\/issels.com\/questionnaire\/request-issels-info.aspx\">Contact us<\/a> for more information about non-toxic protocols such as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.issels.com\/cancer-vaccines\/\">cancer vaccines<\/a> and NK cells.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you need more motivation to consume a healthy diet?
