An Australian team from the University of Queensland see little, if any, benefit in screening women under 50 years of age, but they do point out some of the serious negative effects - later ill effects from the radiation they are exposed to during the mammogram, the possibility that an existing tumor may spread due to the pressure exerted on the breast during screening, and the anxiety caused by frequent false- positive results. The Canadian researchers point out that a false-positive result may not only produce great stress, but may also lead to unnecessary biopsies and surgery. They also point out that mammography misses 10-15 per cent of early breast cancers thus providing a false sense of security.

Why Mammography is NOT an Effective Breast Cancer Screen

Dr. Len Saputo explores the latest findings on the effectiveness and shortcomings of various detection methods used by the mainstream medical community, including mammography, clinical breast exams, ultrasound, and to a lesser extent, magnetic resonance imaging (MRIs) and PET scans.

Danish researcher Dr. Peter Gotzsche first made this claim in a study published in "The Lancet" in October 2006. Gotzsche had re-analyzed the studies originally done on the benefits of mammograms and found them unconvincing. Since then, other doctors have begun to assert that in addition to failing to offer protection, mammograms — which involve exposing patients to radiation —may actually increase women's risk of cancer. "The latest evidence shifts the balance towards harm and away from benefits," said Dr. Michael Baum of University College in London. Gifford-Jones also points to other risks, from the physical to the psychological. According to some authorities, the squeezing of women's breasts during mammograms may rupture blood vessels, causing cancer to spread to other parts of the body and actually increasing a patient's risk of death. He also pointed to the trauma suffered by women who receive false positives from their mammograms, and to the dangerous sense of security felt by those who receive false negatives.  more...

Mammography Madness

Some years ago a British surgeon blasted American doctors as "immoral" for screening women under 50 for breast cancer. On a visit to the Long Island Jewish Hospital Medical Center Dr. Baum said the screening was "opportunistic" and did more harm than good. "Over 99 percent of premenopausal women will have no benefit from screening. Even for women over 50, there has been only a one percent biopsy rate as a result of screening in the United Kingdom. The density of the breast in younger women make mammography a highly unreliable procedure." (Medical Tribune, 3/26/92)

A yet unpublished Canadian study even suggests, the rumor goes, that younger women are more likely to die if they expose themselves to mammograms instead of just relying on physical breast exams. The investigators say this earlier finding has not proven to be true but Dr. Cornelia Barnes of the University of Toronto said: "We will not say that mammography kills. The conclusion that will be reached is that younger women do not benefit [by having a reduced mortality]." (Emphasis added.)

Dr. Barnes said the danger of early mammograms is not from radiation but from false-positive results that can lead to unnecessary biopsies, resulting in scar tissue that can make subsequent mammograms more difficult to read. more

"Screening mammography poses significant and cumulative risks of breast cancer for premenopausal women. The routine practice of taking four films of each breast annually results in approximately 1 rad (radiation absorbed dose) exposure, about 1,000 times greater than that from a chest x-ray. The premenopausal breast is highly sensitive to radiation, each 1 rad exposure increasing breast cancer risk by about 1 percent, with a cumulative 10 percent increased risk for each breast over a decade's screening. These risks are even greater for younger women subject to "baseline screening." Dr. Mercola

Breast Cancer Prevention with Vitamin D

Dr. Mercola 

If vitamin D3 levels among populations worldwide were increased, 600,000 cases of breast and colorectal cancers could be prevented each year, according to researchers from the Moores Cancer Center at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). This includes nearly 150,000 cases of cancer that could be prevented in the United States alone. The researchers estimate that 250,000 cases of colorectal cancer and 350,000 cases of breast cancer could be prevented worldwide by increasing intake of vitamin D3, particularly in countries north of the equator.  Optimizing your vitamin D levels could help you to prevent as many as 16 different types of cancer including pancreatic, lung, breast, ovarian, prostate, and colon cancers. Further, optimal vitamin D levels are also known to positively influence the following conditions:  Heart disease, Diabetes, Inflammatory bowel disease, Rheumatoid arthritis, Multiple sclerosis and osteoporosis.  Learn more:  How to Optimize Your Vitamin D Levels --- Healing Power of Sunlight: 15 minutes of daily sunbathing can help prevent cancer

Transfer Factors and Breast Cancer

Duane Townsend, M.D. - "I'm a cancer physician. I have many cancer patients on transfer factors, along with traditional treatment protocols. I believe that transfer factors has been very beneficial to these patients. I primarily treat female cancer and certainly encourage my patients who are undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy to take transfer factors. It helps to modulate the immune system. I have patients with chronic herpes infections who are taking transfer factors on a regular basis and it's reducing the number of outbreaks. I've also had patients with chronic yeast infections, and the transfer factors has reduced their infections as well. Transfer factors is a science-based product with data from a variety of researchers." Dr. Townsend is the former Director of Gynecologic Oncology and Gynecologic Endoscopy at LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah. He has authored over 90 papers in peer review journals and fifteen chapters in books. Dr. Townsend created a well-known procedure in dealing with precancer of the cervix.

Dr. Townsend has had more than 32 years of distinguished experience in the medical field. He pioneered a surgical technique for the treatment of pre-malignant disease of the uterine cervix. In addition, he has authored more than 90 scientific papers in peer review journals as well as over 15 chapters in research books.

Ann Lane was diagnosed with Hodgkin's cancer. The tumor mass filled her rib cage. Her immune system dropped into the 2,000 range. She began her chemotherapy regimen along with a nutritional protocol (containing transfer factors) along with the traditional therapies administered by her physician. Ann's blood work revealed that 30 days after beginning her nutritional protocol (including transfer factors), her immune system went up to and maintained a level ranging between 4,200 and 7,200. Ann believes that the nutrition, especially transfer factors improved the effectiveness of her immune system, and that made the difference and possibly saved her life.

Effects of Dialyzable Transfer Factor in Patients with Breast Cancer  Five patients with advanced breast cancer were treated with pooled dialyzable transfer factors from healthy adult donors. The period of treatment ranged from 21 to 310 days, the total dose from 20 to 257 ml. Transfer factors did not elicit inflammatory or hypersensitivity reactions or detectable formation of antibody to itself, nor any hematological or biochemical abnormalities or other side effects. Three patients became responsive (by skin test) to tuberculin and/or streptococcal antigens. Marked partial regression of the breast cancer, lasting 6 months, was observed in one patient.

Toxic Metals and Breast Cancer: New Research and Development

by E.Blaurock-Busch, PhD

Recent research indicated toxic metals, particularly cadmium, nickel, and aluminum as another cause of breast cancer. These heavy metals have been known to have specific effects on several biological systems. Dr. Maggie Louie, assistant professor in the Department of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, Dominican University of California, has received a $150,000 grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in support of breast cancer research at the University. Dr. Louie's work focuses on the potential role that environmental contaminants play in the development of breast cancer. Dr. Louie is studying how the heavy metal cadmium – an environmental contaminant that enters the body through consumption of contaminated food or water, or inhalation of cigarette smoke – contributes to the development of breast cancer. Her preliminary findings not only show that cadmium promotes breast cancer cell growth, but her lab may have also identified a potential pathway for its action. 

An environmental health specialist at Stirling University in Scotland, Baillie-Hamilton details how toxins may be linked to dozens of serious health problems, including immune system diseases, neurological disorders, digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, cardio-vascular diseases, cancer, hyper-sensitivity, obesity, musculoskeletal disorders and childhood health problems. "These chemicals are simply not going to go away,"  Institute reports "pesticides are a likely cause of immune suppression for millions of people throughout the world" and that 25% of the chemicals in the environment are neurotoxins linked to increased incidence of brain disease.

What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Breast Cancer: How Hormone Balance Can Help Save Your Life 

"Your risk of surviving malignant breast cancer is just about the same as it was 50 years ago, when the only treatment was mastectomy: about one in three. In other words, despite billions of dollars in research and hugely expensive and risky treatments, the conventional medical approach to breast cancer isn't working, and talk of prevention is virtually nonexistent." These are the opening words of the long-awaited book by John R. Lee, M.D., with David Zava, PhD and Virginia Hopkins, published by Warner Books. (Those of us who have heard Dr. Zava speak on the subject have been looking forward to his research and information in printed form.) The amount of research is first of all evident by the 63 pages of references in the back of the book. Many of these are covered in detail in the material.

Breast cancer and Oxygen Deficiency

Breast cancer is the number-one cancer plague to women worldwide. The growing incidence of breast cancer can be explained for the first time in light of Dr Warburg's discovery about lack of oxygen to the cells. The breasts consist of an exceptionally high amount of fatty tissue. A typical cell membrane in muscle tissue is half-fat and contains about one-third EFAs (oxygen transferors). However, fatty tissue like the breast contains areas of 80-95% fat concentration. These fatty components of breast tissue require and should have high EFA concentrations, but because of modern food processing they don't. Because important organs such as the brain, heart, lungs and kidneys require EFAs on a priority basis, there may not be enough left over to ensure that breast tissue receives an adequate amount of EFAs. 

Therefore, oxygen deficiency in the breast tissue will be very significant. Given this premise, we can deduce that breast tissue should and would be the number-one expected cancer site in women worldwide, and it is. This conclusion makes so much sense in explaining the massive rise in breast cancer rates. Harvard's Dr W. C. Willett gives us the proof. In a study on the intake of parent omega-6 involving over 80,000 nurses, it was shown that the group with the lowest intake of linoleic acid (parent omega-6) exhibited the highest incidence of breast cancer (NEJM 1987; 316(1):22-28).42  Has your ob-gyn told you that you need this miraculous anti-cancer nutrient? I doubt it; he or she probably doesn't know.

Dr Otto Warburg discovered and clearly stated that the prime, most basic, cause of cancer is too little oxygen getting into the cell. "We find by experiment about 35% inhibition of oxygen respiration already suffices to bring about such a transformation during cell growth," he stated at a 1966 conference of Nobel laureates in Lindau, Germany.

Breast Cancer : Poisons, Profits, and Prevention 

by Liane Clorfene-Casten

The war on cancer, according to investigative reporter and community activist Liane Clorfene-Casten, seems to be a losing battle--badly waged and severely mismanaged. Tracking how companies create the very toxins that cause cancer and then profit from the "cures" they peddle, Clorfene-Casten takes to task the government, the American Cancer Society, and various corporate giants to craft a chilling report on the big business that breast cancer has become. 

Why has the focus been on cures rather than prevention? Clorfene-Casten concludes that, as a result of this improper focus, the population has been brainwashed and businesses have--quite literally--gotten away with murder. "Those who will profit," Clorfene-Casten states, "include chemical companies that make not only the cancer-causing pesticides but also the chemotherapy drugs used to fight cancer. Others are major cancer research centers whose well-connected directors shape the national dialogue on cancer." Breast Cancer educates its readers about the scourge of breast cancer as it relates to environmental pollution, even as it encourages us to regard the disease as preventable. The argument is made compellingly through the actual and composite experiences of individual patients, resulting in a powerful indictment against business, government, and research institutions. 

Politics of Breast Cancer: What is the Cancer Industry?

The Cancer Industry consists of corporations, organizations and agencies that diminish or mask the extent of the cancer problem, fail to protect our health, or divert attention away from the need to prevent cancer by finding the causes. This includes drug companies that, in addition to profiting off cancer treatment drugs, sometimes also produce toxic chemicals that may be contributing to the high rates of cancer in this country and increasing rates throughout the world. It also includes the polluting industries that continue to release substances we know or suspect are dangerous to our health, and the public relations firms and public agencies who protect these polluters. The Cancer Industry includes organizations like the American Cancer Society, that downplay the risk of cancer from pesticides and other environmental factors, and who historically have refused to take a stand on environmental regulation.

Who Profits from Breast Cancer?

Breast Cancer Awareness month's primary sponsor and mastermind of the event in 1985 was Zeneca Pharmaceuticals, now known as AstraZeneca. Zeneca is the company that manufactures the controversial and widely prescribed breast cancer drug, Tamoxifen. Did you know all TV, radio, and print media campaigns are paid for and must be approved by Zeneca?

It is less known that Zeneca also makes herbicides and fungicides. One of their products, the organochlorine pesticide, Acetochlor is implicated as a causal factor in breast cancer. Its Perry Ohio chemical plant is the third largest source of potential cancer causing pollution in the U.S., spewing 53,000 pounds of recognized carcinogens into the air in 1996.

Breast cancer and the use of anti-perspirant

I challenge you all to re-think your every day use of a product that could ultimately lead to a terminal illness. As of today, I will change my use. I showed this to a friend going through chemotherapy and she said she learned this fact in a support group recently. The leading cause of breast cancer is the use of anti-perspirant. What? A concentration of toxins that leads to cell mutations: a.k.a. CANCER. Yes, ANTI-PERSPIRANT. Most of the products out there are an anti-perspirant/deodorant combination, check yours! Deodorant is fine, anti-perspirant is not. Here's why: The human body has a few areas that it uses to purge toxins; behind the knees, behind the ears, groin area, and armpits. The toxins are purged in the form of perspiration. Anti-perspirant, as the name clearly indicates, prevents you from perspiring, thereby inhibiting the body from purging toxins from below the armpits. These toxins do not just magically disappear. Instead, the body deposits them in the lymph nodes below the arms since it cannot sweat them out. Nearly all breast cancer tumors occur in the upper outside quadrant of the breast area. This is precisely where the lymph nodes are located. Additionally, men are less likely (but not completely exempt) to develop breast cancer prompted by anti-perspirant usage because most of the anti-perspirant product is caught in their hair and is not directly applied to the skin. Women who apply anti-perspirant right after shaving increase the risk further because shaving causes almost imperceptible nicks in the skin which give the chemicals entrance into the body from the armpit area. PLEASE pass this along to anyone you care about. Breast cancer is becoming frighteningly common. This awareness may save lives. more

How bras affect the health of your breasts 

David Williams MD - "Wearing a bra at least 14 hours a day tends to increase the hormone prolactin, which decreases circulation in the breast tissue. Decreasing circulation can impede your body's natural removal of carcinogenic fluids that become trapped in the breast's sac-like glands (lymph nodes). These glands make up the largest mass of lymph nodes in the upper part of your body's lymphatic system."

The Fiji breast study

The connection between bras and the development of breast cancer was reinforced in a study conducted on the Fiji Islands. In 1997, medical anthropologist Sidney Singer compared the incidence of breast cancer in two groups of women in Fiji. Half of the women wore bras and the other half went without. The diet, environment and lifestyle of both groups were the same. Singer discovered that those who wore bras had the same rate of breast cancer as American women. Those who went bra-less experienced practically no breast cancer whatsoever. more

Find out the facts about hormone replacement therapy and breast cancer

Linda Page, N.D. Ph.D. - "Women who eat a diet high in meats and dairy products have a higher risk. Many food animals are injected with hormones that add to the environmental estrogens circulating in a woman's body. Long term synthetic estrogen and/or oral contraceptive use, and estrogen-containing pesticides are also a risk factor for breast cancer. Indeed, there is a veritable assault on female hormone balance from man-made estrogens. (Human breast milk contains more dioxin, PCBs, DDT and other pesticides than any other food on the planet!) The largest breast cancer increase is in women who were born in the years after World War II, an era that ushered in massive amounts of new chemicals and drugs, like super-strong antibiotics, hormone therapy, and processed foods into American life. Most were developed during the press of wartime, without the normal years of testing for long term health effects. After the war, a great many of these substances found their way into agriculture and household products. Most pesticides, household chemicals and common plastics (the major estrogen imitators) did not exist before World War ll. Man-made and environmental estrogens alone can stack the deck against women by increasing their estrogen levels hundreds of times. Only in the last five years has anyone realized how common synthetic estrogens are in today's world. . Dr. Page presents an effective breast cancer prevention program.

Breast cancer screening may cause more harm than good

VANCOUVER, CANADA. Women over 40 years of age have long been advised to have an annual mammogram. Now questions are being raised within the medical community about the wisdom of this advice. Two Canadian medical professors conclude that the benefits of a general program of breast cancer screening are marginal, that the potential for harm is substantial, and that the cost is enormous. They estimate that only one in every 20,000 women screened actually receive a benefit from the procedure; this converts into a cost of about $1.2 million for each life saved. The professors do not question the value of mammography in the case of women who have signs of the disease, but consider mass screening to be a waste of resources. An Australian team from the University of Queensland echoes the conclusions of the Canadians. They see little, if any, benefit in screening women under 50 years of age, but they do point out some of the serious negative effects - later ill effects from the radiation they are exposed to during the mammogram, the possibility that an existing tumor may spread due to the pressure exerted on the breast during screening, and the anxiety caused by frequent false- positive results. The Canadian researchers point out that a false-positive result may not only produce great stress, but may also lead to unnecessary biopsies and surgery. They also point out that mammography misses 10-15 per cent of early breast cancers thus providing a false sense of security. Both teams agree that mass screening of women under 50 years is of little benefit and has the potential to cause a great deal of harm. Glasziou, Paul P., et al. Mammographic screening trials for women aged under 50. The Medical Journal of Australia, Vol. 162, June 19, 1995, pp. 625-29 - Wright, Charles J. and Mueller, C. Barber. Screening mammography and public health policy: the need for perspective. The Lancet, Vol. 346, July 1, 1995, pp. 29-32

False positives in mammography a serious problem 

STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN. Swedish medical doctors report that erroneous diagnoses of breast cancer in women screened with mammography is a serious and costly problem. Their study involved a total of about 60,000 women aged 40 to 64 years who were screened for breast cancer. Of the 60,000 women screened, 726 were referred to the oncology department for follow-up because of the detection of abnormal lesions. Additional tests confirmed that 224 of the women did indeed have cancerous lesions while the remaining 502 (70 per cent) were found to be cancer-free. The proportion of false positive results was particularly high in women under 50 years; here more than 86 per cent of the women referred for further testing turned out to be cancer-free. Of the women who did have cancerous lesions 26 per cent were found to have ductal carcinomas in situ, a form of breast cancer which is usually not considered life-threatening. The researchers point out that false positive mammograms can produce a high degree of anxiety in the women concerned. The follow-up testing is also very expensive and often lengthy; in the present study follow- up of false positive results accounted for almost a third of the cost of the entire screening programs. The authors conclude that the benefits of mammography in women under 50 years must be carefully weighed against the potentially negative aspects. Lidbrink, E., et al. Neglected aspects of false positive findings of mammography in breast cancer screening: analysis of false positive cases from the Stockholm trial. British Medical Journal, Vol. 312, February 3, 1996, pp. 273-76 

Mammography: A risky procedure?

ABERDEEN, SCOTLAND. Researchers at the University of Aberdeen warn that the compressive force used in order to obtain useable mammograms may be a contributing factor to breast cancer. The British standard for the force used to squeeze the breast as flat as possible corresponds to placing twenty 1 kilogram bags of sugar on each breast. The researchers fear that this force may be excessive and enough to dislocate and spread any existing cancer cells. Animal experiments have shown that the number of cancer sites can increase by as much as 80% when tumors are manipulated mechanically. A recent study in Malmo, Sweden found that the death rate from breast cancer among women under 55 was 29% higher in a group which had been screened with mammography than in the unscreened control group. The screening procedure used "as much compression force as the women could tolerate". The Lancet, July 11, 1992, p. 122

Medicine Mum on Mammography: Do The Math --Think Thermography

Dr. Mercola

Mammograms do far more harm than good. Their ionizing radiation mutates cells, and the mechanical pressure can spread cells that are already malignant (as can biopsies). 

Mammogram interpretation is often wrong. In 1996, the journal Archives of Internal Medicine published results of a test of 108 radiologists throughout the United States. The test used a set of 79 mammograms where the diagnosis had been verified by subsequent biopsies, surgeries or other follow-up. The radiologists missed cancer in 21% of the films, thought 10% of the women with no breast disease had cancer and thought 42% of benign lesions were cancerous. 

Further, mammograms are not diagnostic and too frequently lead to unnecessary breast biopsies, which are an expensive, invasive surgical procedure that causes extreme anxiety, some pain and often physical harm to many women who do not have cancer. 

According to the 1998 edition of the Merck Manual, for every case of breast cancer diagnosed each year, from 5 to 10 women will needlessly undergo a painful breast biopsy. Statistically, this means that any woman who has annual mammograms for 10 years has at least a 50% chance of having at least one biopsy--even if she never develops breast cancer."

"Earlier this month I reviewed a study from the National Cancer Institute which showed that mammograms don't work to reduce the risk of death from breast cancer. Their analysis confirms what we have suspected for some time: that mammograms are not a good idea. Most physicians recommend them for fear of being sued by a woman who developed breast cancer in which he did not advise to get one. Now natural medicine physicians can rest comfortably and encourage women to get a thorough breast examination for abnormalities, as well as performing frequent self-examinations. Thermography, along with regular breast self-exams, does seem to be a reasonable alternative to screen for this prevalent form of cancer among women." Dr. Mercola

Women in the US Not Properly Informed About Mammography 

A study by Schwartz et al "found that a significant proportion (55%) of women overestimate the benefit of mammography," yet the authors "conclude that the high tolerance for false-positive results is not explained by overly optimistic beliefs of the benefits of mammography." However, Kerlikowske and Ernster think that it is possible that women do overestimate the benefit of screening and that these misperceptions may explain why many women did not want to factor information about the consequences of false-positives into their decision about screening mammography. "most women are unaware that screening can detect cancers that may never progress" more

Questioning Chemotherapy : A Critique of the Use of Toxic Drugs in the Treatment of Cancer 

Ralph W. Moss, Ph.D. - "I started as a believer in chemotherapy. As a science writer at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, I wrote articles praising the latest advances in chemotherapy. Because chemotherapy drugs were general cellular poisons, they could be terribly toxic. They were also very expensive for patients and for society as a whole. When I learned about the links between the pharmaceutical industry and the cancer establishment (later detailed in my book, The Cance r Industry) I understood the commercial reason that such an inadequate modality was so heavily promoted." .  more

Ralph W. Moss

In 1987 Dr. Lana Levi, of the University of California wrote, “Most cancer patients in this country die of chemotherapy... It does not eliminate breast, colon, or lung cancer. This fact has been know for over a decade. Women with breast cancer are likely to die faster with chemotherapy than without it.” 

The National Cancer Institute has recommended chemotherapy for all breast cancer patients, whether or not they have visible signs of cancer after surgery. The theory is that projected over thousands of women, a significant number of lives will be saved. The problem especially for the 93.7 percent who aren't benefited is the drugs' crushing side effects. Virtually all chemotherapeutic drugs are toxic and immunosuppressive. Being unable to distinguish between cancerous and normal cells, they wind up killing both. Most also cause secondary cancers, which can show up many years after "successful" chemotherapy.R. Walters, op. cit. See also H. Vorherr, "Adjuvant chemotherapy of breast cancer: Reality, hope, hazard?", Lancet (December 19/26, 1981), pages 1413-14 

In her book, 'Managing the Side Effects of Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy', Marylin J.Dodd, RN, PhD, describes side effects associated with radiation therapy. Dr. Dodd has 25 years of research experience helping patients and their families manage the side effects of cancer treatment. She is a professor of nursing at the University of California, San Francisco School of Nursing.

Overcoming Immunosuppression from Chemotherapy

Cancer patients who are undergoing chemotherapy or radiation which greatly weaken the immune system, can greatly benefit from taking transfer factor supplementation. Transfer factor supplementation serves to protect the body from "opportunistic" infections, which often occur during these treatments.  Dr Duane Townsend, former director of gynecologic oncology at LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City, puts all of his cancer patients on transfer factor treatments to boost their immune systems’ abilities to respond to any health challenges. Both Japanese and Chinese clinical studies found that the immunosuppression that results from chemotherapy can be prevented by using transfer factor isolates. Keep in mind that the elimination of dying or dead cancer cells is monitored by the immune system. Italian, Japanese and American studies tell us that the use of transfer factor isolates to boost immune function after surgery significantly improves the chances of cancer-free future.

Chemo "therapy" Testimonial

"I was diagnosed with breast cancer 4 years ago. Nobody tells you that chemo can cause osteoporosis. I stress fractured my foot twice and had 2 surgeries on my foot (not including the lumpectomy and hysterectomy also due to the chemo) in one year. I have been in chronic bone pain due to the Evista that I was taking for my bones and as a breast cancer preventative. A dear friend knows what I have been through and offered that I should try Marine Phytoplankton. I was in such a desperate position that I was willing to try ANYTHING to restore my health. I wanted something natural without weird side effects! It is pretty bad when the cure is worse than the disease! Shortly after finishing my first bottle, I noticed that I was not as tired as I have been for years. I started sleeping better at night and I have even lost some weight. Energy has been an issue for me for years now. It feels good to be able to keep up with my husband and Grandbaby! After the 2nd bottle, I went to the oncologist; during the exam, he asked, "what are you taking?" He could tell that something had changed. I have atypical hyperplasia with numerous tender benign cysts. My breast are no longer hard as rocks, painful and lumpy. The doctor noticed the difference immediately! He is skeptical that "plankton" works better than tamoxifen, but agreed with me that "as long as it works! THAT IS WHAT REALLY MATTERS!" I take 2 oz a day and while it is not an instant cure... it does make a difference in how I feel. It has changed my life for the better! I HIGHLY recommend this product to anyone having health issues. It works!! It is a product that treats the patient as a complete being; nurishing our depleted, distressed and diseased bodies! "Thank you" cannot express how strongly I feel about your product!

Miracle Herb from the Rain Forest of Peru

A new botanical nutrient, Uncaria Tomentosa, (Cat's Claw) is being called by many the "Miracle Herb from the Rain Forest of Peru". It has been drawing increasingly more interest among the proponents of natural health care. Although virtually unheard of in the United States until recently, the beneficial effects of the Peruvian herb Uncaria tomentosa, commonly known as "una de gato" in Spanish and "cat's claw" in English, have been studied at research facilities in Peru, Austria, Germany, England, Hungary and Italy, since the 1970's. These studies suggest that the herb may be beneficial in the treatment of arthritis, bursitis, allergies, diabetes, lupus, chronic fatigue syndrome, cancer, herpes, organic depression, menstrual irregularities and disorders of the stomach and intestines.  The  anti-cancer qualities of cat's claw were explored in a study on the mutagenic (ability to create mutations) activity in cigarette smokers' urine. Non-smokers did not show mutagenic activity in their urine, while cigarette smokers did. After taking this natural plant substance, smokers' urine showed a dramatic decrease of mutagenic activity. ("Mutagenic and Antimutagenic Activity of Uncaria", Journal of Ethnopharmacy, 38: page 63, 1993)

Cansema Black Salve and Tumors or Skin Cancer

“The United States is in the midst of a of skin cancer epidemic, according to a report in from the Mayo Clinic. The report goes on to state, “One in five Americans will develop skin cancer, and a person's risk of the disease doubles if that person has had five or more sunburns, according to the Mayo statistics. Basal and squamous cell carcinomas, the most common and treatable types of skin cancers, had long been considered a problem only for people over 50, according to the report. But Mayo researchers report that percentage of women under 40 with the more common type, basal cell, tripled between 1976 and 2003, while the rate of squamous cell cancers increased 400 percent.”

The standard procedure for skin cancer treatment in US hospitals is surgery, chemotherapy, and even radiation, with no significant cure rate! While there are many variations of the Black Salve herbal compound, the man who first spread the word about and healing from black salve was a man named Harry Hoxsey, founder of the "Hoxsey Method". Hoxsey is the great-grandson of John Hoxsey, an American physician who discovered a remarkably effective cancer cure in 1840 after watching horses with cancer cure themselves by grazing on specific herbs they instinctually searched out. learn more

Healing Clay - Healing Earth

Clay is renowned to have many uses in promoting health in plants, animals and humans. Bentonite, Montmorillonite, Pascalite, as well as other types of healing clays, have been used by indigenous cultures since before recorded history.  Studies show that the use of volcanic ash clay internally goes back to the Indians of the high Andes mountains, tribes in Central Africa and the aborigines of Australia. Taken internally, it supports the intestinal system in the elimination of toxins. The application of clay has achieved miraculous healing of Buruli Ulcer - mycobacterium ulcerans which is similar to leprosy and tuberculosis mycobacterium or flesh eating disease. more  -   photos of breast cancer cured with clay poultices - (very graphic images)

Fish Oil Reduces Breast Cancer

Dr. Mercola - "Exciting evidence that provides a potential mechanism for how fish oil exerts its protective influence. Sadly, though, eating most fresh fish, whether from the ocean, lakes and streams, or farm-raised, is no longer recommended. Mercury levels in almost all fish have now hit dangerously high levels across the world, and the risk of this mercury to your health now outweighs the fish's omega-3 benefits. However, because fish would otherwise be immensely healthy.  You should obtain your fish oil from supplements" 

The researchers evaluated the hypothesis that omega-3 fats protect against breast cancer. They examined the fat composition from nearly 250 patients with invasive, nonmetastatic breast carcinoma and from 88 patients with benign breast disease in central France. Their research was quite striking and showed unequivocal relationship between the omega 6:3 ratio. The lower the ratio the lower the risk of breast cancer. Anticancer Research 2002 March April;22(2A):537-43.

Fish Oil: The Natural Anti-inflammatory

by Joseph Maroon, Ph.D.

Did you know that the root cause of serious chronic diseases such as heart disease, Alzheimer's disease, cancer, arthritis, and asthma has been identified as chronic inflammation? Although numerous studies have confirmed these findings, few physcians are aware of or consider the fact that the battle against inflammation is at the forefront of the fight for health and well-being of the global population. Authors Joseph Maroon and Jeffrey Bost have set out to reverse that trend with "Fish Oil: The Natural Anti-Inflammatory." Ultra-Refined Fish Oil

Pharmaceujtical companies have spent billions of dollars in an attempt to understand the bio-chemistry of inflammation. Unfortunately, pharmaceutical anit-inflammatories such as Celebrex, Vioxx, and Bextra have been shown to greatly increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, and uncontrollable gastric hemorrhage, with potentially fatal consequences. Is there a safer alternative? Absolutiely! The answer lies in the power of the omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil, undeniably the most under-recognized and also the most petent natural anti-inflammatory available. With compelling arguments and the results of thousands of clinical studies to support them. the uathors explain in plain and simple terms; How the inflammation process works and how it can evolve into a chroninc condition that is the cause of many diseases; How fatty acids work in the body; Why supplementtion with omega-3 fatty acids can restore the body's balance and mitigate the effects of inflmmatory factors; and why fish oil is the best source of omega-3 fatty acids, and how to identify good-quality fish oil supplements. 

Joseph C Maroon. M.D.,is a professor and vice chairman of the Department of Neurological Surgery at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. He is also a Heindl Scholar in Neuroscience as well as the team neurosurgeon to the world-champion Pittsburgh Steelers. His publications numbr more than 250, and he is a reviewer on five medical journals and an editorial board member of "Neurological Research." Jeffrey Bost is a neurosurgical physician assistant and clinical instructor in the Department of Neurosurgery at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. He has coauthored many presentations, articles, and grants exploring the use of omega-3 fatty acids.

Fish oil and margarine don't go together - ADELAIDE, AUSTRALIA. Fish oil supplements containing EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) have an anti-inflammatory effect and may benefit people suffering from rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis. This beneficial effect is significantly reduced when the diet is high in linoleic acid. A seven week controlled experiment involving 30 male volunteers was recently completed in Australia. Margarine and polyunsaturated oils had an inhibiting effect and should therefore be excluded from the diet in order to obtain maximum benefit from fish oil. Cleland, Leslie G., et al.

Seeing Deception is your Only Protection: The Breast Cancer Awareness Month Story

A useful perspective to have when attempting to reconcile what one hears in the lay press and how to develop a proactive breast cancer prevention strategy. Dr. Mercola  (Excerpts  from Dr. Mercola's website)

Each year 180,00 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 44,000 will die of the disease. The US has one of the highest breast cancer rates in the world. Fifty years ago the incidence for a woman's life time risk was one in twenty. Now it has skyrocketed to one in eight. When it comes to the environmental carcinogens found in pesticides, herbicides,plastics and other toxic chemicals, there is booming silence by all Breast Cancer Awareness Month programs. Did the alarming increase of breast cancer rates just mysteriously happen? When it comes to the environmental carcinogens found in pesticides, herbicides,plastics and other toxic chemicals, there is booming silence by all Breast Cancer Awareness Month programs. Did the alarming increase of breast cancer rates just mysteriously happen? The pesticide -breast cancer link was stunningly highlighted in research from Israel which linked three organochlorine pesticides detected in dairy products to an increase of 12 types of cancer in 10 different strains of mice. After public outcry in 1978 forced the Israeli government to ban the pesticides - benzene hexachloride, DDT, and lindane - breast cancer mortality rates which had increased every year for 25 years, dropped nearly 8 per cent for all age groups and more than a third for women ages 25-34 in 1986.

National Institute for Environmental Health Sciences listed substances that are known to cause cancer. Tamoxifen was included in that list!! It is known that tamoxifen causes uterine cancer, liver cancer and gastrointestinal cancer. After just two to three years of use, tamoxifen will increase the incidence of uterine cancer by two -three times. The treatment for uterine cancer is an hysterectomy. In addition, tamoxifen increased the risk of strokes, blood clots, eye damage, menopausal symptoms, and depression. The journal Science published a study from Duke Universtiy Medical Center in 1999 showing that after 2-5 years, tamoxifen actually initiated the growth of breast cancer!

Women can make the difference in eliminating breast cancer. The breast cancer epidemic is not some great mystery. The causes of cancer are already known. Toxic diets, toxic lifestyles, toxic environments, toxic drug treatments and toxic diagnostic techniques cause cancer. Corporations are only interested in increasing their profits and ensuring their tentacles of control not in actual solutions. more

Breasts removed by mistake; paperwork slip-up blamed Tuesday, January 21, 2003  CNN.com

Linda McDougal was told she was suffering from an aggressive form of breast cancer. Her breasts, she was told, would have to be removed. She was told wrong. A paperwork mistake cost Linda McDougal both her breasts and left her suffering infections, facing more surgeries and trying to rebuild her life. McDougal underwent the double mastectomy last year. Forty-eight hours after her breasts were surgically removed, McDougal's doctor broke the news to the patient and her husband: The surgery had been unnecessary; she had never had cancer.

Mammogram

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) was warned in 1974 by professor Malcolm C. Pike at the University of Southern California School of Medicine that a number of specialists had concluded that "giving a women under age 50 a mammogram on a routine basis is close to unethical." (P2) The experts in the government were told. The warnings were ignored and Mary Lasker's advertising campaigns pounded the media calling for American women of all ages to get mammograms. 

The Director of the NCI at the time of this massive abuse of the public trust later left government service and took a high paying position at American Cancer Society (ACS) (sort of a payoff?). 

By the early 1980s, NCI and ACS jointly issued another wave of guidelines promoting annual breast X Rays for women under age 50. ".doctors and their patients assumed that there was good evidence supporting those recommendations. But at the time, only one study showed positive benefit and the results were not significant." (P3) 

In 1985, British medical journal The Lancet, published an article that exposed the original onslaught by ACS NCI in the early middle 1970s against a quarter million unsuspecting American women and reviled the continuing 1980s ACS NCI propaganda: "Over 280,000 women were recruited without being told that no benefit of mammography had been shown in a controlled trial for women below 50, and without being warned about the potential risk of induction of breast cancer by the test which was supposed to detect it...in women below 50... mammography gives no benefit..." (P4)

But the media and the "health officials" in the government stayed silent! The mammography policy pushed by the ASC (to fill its bank account?) remained the U.S. government policy for ten more years. 

A large Canadian study showed X raying the breasts of women younger than age 50 provided no benefit and probably endangered their lives. 

In February 1992 Samuel Epstein, professor at the University of Illinois Medical Center in Chicago, a tireless opponent of the "cancer establishment," along with 64 other distinguished cancer authorities, warned the public about the ACS NCI propaganda. The ACS and NCI termed Dr. Epstein's reference to the breast studies as "unethical and invalid." 

The next month, the Washington Post broke the story into the mainstream media (finally!). It published an article by Dr. Epstein, saying:  "The high sensitivity of the breast, especially in young women, to radiation induced cancer was known by 1970. Nevertheless, the establishment then screened some 300,000 women with Xray dosages so high as to increase breast cancer risk by up to 20 percent in women aged 40 to 50 who were mammogrammed annually"..."For most cancers, survival has not changed for decades. Contrary claims are based on rubber numbers." (P5)

In December of 1992, the New York Times published facts about the Mammography scam. The story included the following:  "Dr. I. Craig Henderson, director of the clinical cancer center at the University of California in San Francisco, said, 'We have to tell women the truth' ... 

"Dr. Robert McLelland, a radiologist at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, said... 'In our zeal to promote mammography, we as radiologists and I'm one of them haven't looked at the evidence.' " (P6) 

In July 1995, The Lancet revealed the ACS NCI mammography scam to global awareness:  "The benefit is marginal, the harm caused is substantial, and the costs incurred are enormous..." (P7) 

The ASC furiously fought attempts by federal agencies that sought to restrict the number of mammography examinations for individual women or to extend the age at which a woman had her first one with their continuted slogan "a check and a checkup".

By 1999, even celebrity poet Maya Angelou was shamefully and ignorantly promoting Mammography in public service ads on television, parroting the American Cancer Society's propaganda spiel. 

In September 1999, the full depth of the decades long deceit was explicitly described in an article in the journal Alternative Medicine. It reached few American women who had been and were being brainwashed through the mainstream media and pliable state and federal legislators representatives (of the people?):  "Mammograms increase the risk for developing breast cancer and raise the risk of spreading or metastasizing an existing growth,' says Dr. Charles B. Simone, a former clinical associate in immunology and pharmacology at the National Cancer Institute.(P8) 

Should we look again at the cancer empire's tyranny and threat to whatever is left sacred in America. Bureaucracy is the form of government in which everybody is deprived of political freedom, of the power to act. It enables everybody to get together with peers, to act in concert, and to reach for self-interested goals and enterprises.

Breast cancer saved my life. Breast Cancer Recovery Coach

Dr. Talia Miller, M.Ed., D.S.

For me, breast cancer became a wake-up call. Before being diagnosed, I was stuck in a passionless marriage, a highly stressful career which demanded long hours, a pessimistic attitude and unhealthy eating. My life was boring, filled with stress, overwork and unconscious behaviors. I saw no options.

I was numb to my feelings. I knew nothing about the power of the mind to create the life I wanted. I did not even know there were fundamental Laws of the Universe, that when practiced, would make my life so easy, rich and rewarding. At the time, I felt like a victim - powerless and unhappy.

Through the prompting of friends and my own inner knowing I decided to participate in a four week holistic treatment program, Getting Well - Mind-Body Health for a New You! as part of my cancer treatment. Of course insurance didn't cover the cost, so it was a huge commitment on my part.

Little did I know at that time that the recovery treatment program would not only help me to heal breast cancer, but more importantly, would help me to heal my LIFE ! I left my old values, beliefs and behaviors, and began moving to greater health, joy and fulfillment. Suddenly, I had options! Complete recovery was possible!

Seeing how fragile and potentially fleeting life could be, I could no longer tolerate being half alive. My work in the program got me started on my journey from an unintegral, unfulfilling, non-participatory victim consciousness, to a whole new way of co-creating my life - making authentic choices in every moment...being in the "Now".

Through the years I discovered how my limiting childhood beliefs had been keeping me locked inside a keg of painful rage. I learned the fascinating keys to successful living, extraordinary living...I become empowered, fulfilled and transformed. I began a journey of discovering Who I Really Am. And I love what I found.

I've learned so much. he most important outcome of the cancer recovery treatment program and the ensuing work I did, was that I stopped recurrence of breast cancer. I've been cancer-free for over twelve years now. I recovered. I become a thriver. And I developed the phenomenal program From Survivor to Thriver - The Breakthrough Program to Beat Breast Cancer  so you can recover too. In addition to excellent health, I transformed so many aspects of my life - relationships, career, finances, friends, my relationship with Source Energy - my entire outlook on life.

Why I believe that giving up milk is the key to beating breast cancer

Jane A. Plant, Ph.D.

The link between dairy produce and breast cancer is similar to the link between smoking and lung cancer.

Dr. Plant's conviction that dairy products can cause cancer arises from the complex chemical makeup of milk. All mature breast milk, from humans or other mammals, is a medium for transporting hundreds of chemical components. Breast milk, like cow’s milk, contains chemicals designed to play an important rote i~ the development of young cattle. One of these, insulin growth factor IGF-1,causos cells to divide and reproduce.

Breast Cancer and Breast Health! The Wise Woman Way

This Book Presents safe and effective herbs and home remedies that can prevent breast cancer from starting, or that can be used by cancer patients to complement orthodox treatments. Designed to be a resource for both women who want to maintain breast health and those who've been diagnosed with breast cancer, Breast Cancer? Breast Health! The Wise Woman Way draws on "women's wisdom," or the inner knowledge often ignored by modern medicine, as a powerful tool for healing. Author Susun Weed proposes an anticancer lifestyle, and, if cancer does enter the picture, a six-step plan for healing (sleep is at zero, or "Do Nothing"; surgery is number six, which she terms "Break and Enter"), with various complementary healing techniques included throughout. 

Weed is careful to point out that supplements and herbs can hurt as much as they can help, and she lists several alternative-medicine techniques that should be avoided no matter what. The steps she does recommend--from herbal oils for breast massage to help detect lumps early to the herbs milk thistle, dandelion, and burdock for women with liver damage from tamoxifen--are explained clearly, sometimes with fascinating quotes from centuries-old books on healing. 

Hydrogenated Oils-The Silent Killers - On Tuesday, Oct. 20th, 1998, Oprah Winfrey's show with Dr. Bob Arnot and other researchers commented about the link between hydrogenated oils and breast cancer. Studies show there is a 40% increase in breast cancer in women eating hydrogenated oils. They also presented evidence concerning flaxseed oil and how by adding this to your diet reduces tumors by 50%. To get a transcript, call Harpo Productions at (312) 633-1000.

The Premarin Industry: Holocaust for Horses Premarin - a prescription drug currently being used by over 8 million women with menopausal symptoms--is responsible for agonizing conditions and ultimate death of thousands of horses annually.

"Of the women in menopause today, about half start synthetic hormone replacement, but only half of those stick  with it because of the side effects or fear of cancer risk. The threat of breast and uterine cancer is dramatically increased with HRT. Premarin, an estrogen replacement drug for menopausal women made from pregnant mare's urine, is the top selling drug of any kind in the U.S. But justifiable controversy about synthetic hormone replacementmay mean that the threat of breast and uterine cancer is dramatically increased with HRT. In 51 studies covering 21 countries involving more than 52,000 women with breast cancer and 108,000 women without breast cancer, women who used Premarin for 5 years or longer had a 35% higher risk of developing cancer than women who had never been on HRT. (Good news! The higher risk for breast cancer diminished and largely disappeared after about 5 years off HRT treatment.) Most women don't know that Premarin, is made from pregnant mare's urine, and that the mares are kept in horrendous conditions - their foals are sold for slaughter. Premarin is the most prescribed of all drugs in America today. The mares are artificially inseminated and forced to spend their 11-month pregnancies in stalls so small they cannot turn. If they try to lie down, their heads are jolted upright by their halter chains. Long lines of pregnant horses stand, chained and strapped into cramped concrete and steel pens like rows of four-legged galley slaves. They shuffle uncomfortably from hoof to hoof. A forlorn look fills their eyes as they stare. Their coats are dull, their ears droopy - tell-tale signs of a horse's misery. Many get sore, swollen legs or become crippled from standing, months on end, in their tiny concrete stalls. The mares are kept constantly thirsty. They are denied water so that their urine becomes thick." Linda Page, N.D. Ph.D

What Every Parent Should Know BEFORE Their Childen Are Vaccinated! Why are a growing number of parents and health care professionals around the world questioning vaccination? The controversy stems from the thousands of deaths and permanent disabilities attributed to vaccination annually, as well as the many published medical studies, government statistics, congressional testimonies, and other credible sources that directly contradict commonly held assumptions about vaccine safety and effectiveness.

 

More pictures of vaccine damage available to view at the CDC website

 "Bart Classen, a Maryland physician, published data showing that diabetes rates rose significantly in New Zealand following a massive hepatitis B vaccine campaign in young children, and that diabetes rates also went up sharply in Finland after three new childhood vaccines were introduced." Nicholas Regush ABCNEWS.com

This child (below) died as a result of vaccines (CDC website)

In fall 1997, two influential professional magazines featured articles asking the question: Has the decrease of infectious diseases in childhood through the mass use of vaccines been replaced with an increase in chronic diseases such as diabetes and asthma? The Economist, a prestigious international magazine read by world leaders in government, business and public policy, and Science News, a magazine read by both health care professionals and the general public, explored the reported links between vaccines and chronic diseases in their November 22, 1997 issues.

Congressman is calling for criminal penalties for any government agency that knew about the dangers of thimerosal in vaccines and did nothing to protect American children. Congressman Dan Burton (R-Indiana) during Congressional Hearing: "You mean to tell me that since 1929, we've been using Thimerosal, and the only  test that you know of is from 1929, and every one of those people had mennigitis, and they all died?" For nearly an hour, Burton repeatedly asked FDA and CDC officials what they knew and when they knew it. (Thimerosal contains a related mercury compound called ethyl mercury. Mercury is a toxic metal that can cause immune, sensory, neurological, motor, and behavioral dysfunctions.)

A growing number of holistic doctors, pediatricians and veterinarians use transfer factors  as an alternative to, or in conjunction with conventional medicine for their acute and chronic cases, including cancer and other serious health conditions, with excellent outcome. 

Dr. Rob Robertson, MD  - "There is no other product in a nutritional substance, nor a drug, that has this kind of power and ability to affect our immune system. With the increase of killer viruses, mutated germs, super-resistant germs, and food contaminations, our only hope and defense, must lie within our own immune system."   Transfer factors and the immune sytem

Dr Bill Miller - "Why have middle aged women’s stroke rate increased three times in recent years? From 1999 to 2004 nearly 2% of women aged 35 to 54 suffered from a stroke compared to the prior Federal health Surveys from 1994 to 1998 in which less that 1% of women had the same condition.. No risk factors such as smoking, heart disease or diabetes had changed between surveys. What has changed is women’s waistlines! They are two inches bigger. Their body mass index (BMI) rose from 27 to 29. Dr Miller says your shoulders should be 10 inches wider than your waistline. Drink the Holy Tea and dump the toxins. Eat nuts, seeds, fruits and vegetables to prevent stoke. And exercise with good hydration.

The acid-alkaline balance of the body has an enormous impact on a person’s health. When the pH of the body gets out of balance (too acidic), we may experience low energy, fatigue, excess weight, poor digestion, aches and pains, and even more serious disorders. When the body is excessively acidic, vital organs and individual cells are subject to damage or destruction. This condition, known as acidosis, can be a cause, an effect, or even a symptom of almost any health condition. By balancing the body's acidity levels, this simple plan can help toward curing various medical conditions, including arthritis, hepatitis, insomnia, alcoholism, and kidney disease.

Raising Public Awareness

Most modern maladies are caused by prolonged exposure to a combination of negative lifestyles and toxic environmental factors, including junk food and malnutrition, pesticides, antibiotics, microwaves, chemical pollution of food, water and air, lack of exercise and chronic stress. These factors are further aggravated by the failure of modern medicine to recognize them as agents of dis-"ease" and death and the consequent failure to take preventative measures against them. more
