Mammograms
offer no health benefits whatsoever, doctors conclude
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.
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A yet unpublished Canadian study even suggests, the rumor goes, that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."

After running her own successful business in Wellness Alternatives,
Pamela Hoeppner faced the unthinkable. She was diagnosed with a malignant,
fast-growing breast cancer. Pam declined all conventional treatment and
chose an alternative approach with an impressive track record instead,
which resulted in her full recovery. Convinced that mutilation and toxic
treatments are not always necessary she wanted others to know there ARE
options that don't involve devastating a person's body and their quality
of life. In her inspiring book, The Breast Stays Put, with a delivery all
her own, she shares her courageous story of overcoming a deadly diagnosis,
and provides prevention and treatment information
David Brownstein, MD - "The

with breast cancer, I highly recommend it to anyone interested in learning
more about treating cancer with alternative therapies."
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

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.

These are the opening words of the long-awaited book by John R. Lee, M.D.,

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. Learn

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. Learn

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

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.

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,

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

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

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

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.

Dr.
Jerry Tennant, M.D. says that marine phytoplankton
contains almost everything one needs to sustain life and to restore health
by providing the raw materials to make new cells that function normally.
Marine phytoplankton has been called "the most nutritionally dense foods
on the planet". Containing a
wide range of trace elements, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, chlorophyll,
enzymes and cellular materials, marine phytoplankton promotes and maintains
optimum health by boosting and supporting all systems within the body.
Its antioxidants and unique polysaccharides can halt the genetic mutations
that can lead to cancer. Both high levels of saccharides and adaptogens
increase energy and stamina by improving our ability to consume and use
oxygen. Adaptogens also improve cardiovascular health by strengthening
the heart and circulation. more about marine

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

Peggy Good was
a goner two years ago. In the previous two years, surgeons performed a
quadruple bypass to rescue an ailing heart. As if that wasn't enough for
a lifetime, there was this other matter of ovarian cancer, a tumor as big
as a grapefruit. Surgeons went in again, removed some of the tumor, but
left some behind. Too risky. Too close to the vital organs. That wasn't
the end of it. She developed diabetes and learned all about injecting insulin
in her veins.Then she started chemotherapy. And she agonized. She had two
months to a year to live, doctors told her. After five sessions of chemo,
Peggy, 70, couldn't take any more of the chemo-misery and told doctors
she preferred to die in peace. "I was not even human", she says. "I was
sick to my stomach, I had headaches, fevers, I was not eating. I was going
downhill very fast in the five months I was taking chemo." Peggy is certain

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Only the lump, not my breast. Then I was on radiation treatment for 3 months,
until May. I was extremely weak and sick from the radiation treatment,
I had to lie in bed for months after the treatment ended. At one point
I just didn't know what I was going to do, I was so sick, and at Christmas

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. (see Plant's book in the right
column)
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%.

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.

a Maryland physician, published data showing that diabetes rates rose significantly
in New Zealand following a massive hepatitis B vaccine campaign in young

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

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.)
