"In the student's defense, the American Medical Association, the american cancer society, the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the American Academy of Family Physicians still support teaching breast self-examination, and the idea is widely supported by physicians. "The idea that breast self-examination is not worthwhile really defies logic," wrote one gynecologist in 2002. "I've been in practice about twenty-five years, and I have had a number of patients who have found things themselves." - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.)

"The Folly of "Damage Control" Cancer statistics reflect the fact that the policies of the federal National Cancer Institute (NCI), funded by tax payers, and the non-profit american cancer society (ACS), funded by public donations and industry donations —together known as the "cancer establishment" ?are fixated on damage control, spending most of their budgets on diagnosis, treatment, and treatment-related research rather than on cancer prevention research and programs." - Samuel S. Epstein, Randall Fitzgerald, Toxic Beauty: How Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Endanger Your Health . . . And What You Can Do about It (Get the book.)

"Fill one half full with hot water (bath water tem- *Adapted from the american cancer society, September 2006, cancer.org. perature). Fill the other one half full with ice cold water. Sit in the hot water for three minutes and then quickly sit in the cold for 30 seconds. Repeat this three times in succession. Quickly get dressed or put on a robe or blankets so as not to become chilled. The room where you are doing the treatment should be comfortable and warm. CASTOR OIL PACK Materials needed: 1.

"Meat It is possible that red meat, a major source of animal fat, may actually be the agent responsible for the increased risk attributed to dietary fat. The american cancer society considers the evidence of an association of red and processed meat with risk of colorectal cancer great enough to make the recommendation to "limit intake of processed and red meats" [33]. However, although several cohort studies found increased risk with higher consumption of red meat, processed meat, or other types of meat [10, 15, 34], 10 other cohort studies did not find an association [35]." - Ann M.

"The American Cancer Society's Guide to Complementary and Alternative Cancer Methods calls ellagic acid a promising natural supplement, largely because in lab studies it caused the death of cancer cells while leaving normal, healthy cells alone. Perillyl alcohol inhibits tumor growth in animal models of pancreatic, stomach, colon, skin, and liver cancer. It's so promising that the Cleveland Clinic Taussig Cancer Center is currently running a multiple-dose trial of perillyl alcohol on healthy women who have a history of breast cancer." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.)

"The American Heart Association, the american cancer society, and the Alzheimer's Association each received significant sums of corporate cash. It was hard to find a patient group that did not take the money. Some nonprofit organizations aggressively solicited the industry's cash. The Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America had an executive in 2005 with the title of Director of Pharmaceutical Relations. The payments were not given in generosity. The money came from the companies' marketing departments." - Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.)

"Public Health Service/ the American Dental Association,' the American Medical Association,6 the American Heart Association, the american cancer society, and the National Academy of Sciences. On the other hand, the devastating, toxic effects of fluoride are well documented by mainstream organization such as: • Numerous atticles have appeared in the New England Journal of Medicine and the Journal of the American Medical Association challenging the safety of fluoridation 'Tea, for example, is an extremly high source of fluoride (even when made with unfluoridated water)." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"Unfortunately, neither question can be answered at this point in time. The american cancer society and the American Urological Association still recommend an annual digital exam, beginning at age 40. These organizations also recommend an annual PSA for men over 50 (age 40 for African-American men)—at an estimated cost of $12 to $28 billion per year. The 1996 Task Force is more cautious, appropriately it seems to us, giving both procedures a grade of "D" for annual screening. "There is no evidence," they conclude, "that screening for prostate cancer results in reduced mortality or morbidity." - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.)

"According to the american cancer society, 1 in every 2.5 Americans (and moving rapidly to 1 in 2) will get some form of invasive cancer in their lives—and half of those who get it will die from it. (Now, it is true that the rates for some forms of cancer such as prostate cancer and colon cancer have dropped slightly in the last couple of years, but keep in mind that drop is only relative to the extremely high levels that were reached in the last 100 years and that the tates for other forms of cancer (such as lymph cancer) have soared—more than offsetting the small drops just mentioned." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"A publication by the american cancer society called "The American Cancer Society's Guide to Complementary and Alternative Cancer Methods" says that ellagic acid is a very promising natural supplement because it causes apoptosis (cell death) of cancer cells in the lab, with no change to healthy, normal cells.

"According to the american cancer society, about 1.2 million people will be diagnosed with cancer in the U.S. this year. More than 552,000 Americans will die of it. Among men, the top three cancer diagnoses are expected to be prostate cancer (180,400 cases), lung cancer (89,500 cases), and colorectal cancer (63,600 cases). The leading types of cancer among women are breast cancer (182,800 cases), lung cancer (74,600 cases), and colorectal cancer (66,600 cases)." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"When LLU researchers first embarked on a study of the dietary habits of nearly 25,000 Adventists in California a half century ago, it was good news to the american cancer society, which had just initiated its own study of the effects of tobacco smoke on lung cancer. Because the overwhelming majority of Adventists were nonsmokers, they provided an ideal control group, and they were promptly folded into the ACS study." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.)

"Many natural cures for cancer exist, more now than ever, but none of them are being researched, endorsed, or promoted by those who claim to be the health custodians of the nation. The american cancer society, the National Cancer Institute, the American Medical Association (AMA), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the major oncology centers all feel threatened by the successes of alternative cancer therapies. Of course, this is not difficult to understand, given the high failure rate (93%) of medical therapies." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"That the proximate causes of death are increasingly likely to mark our eighty-fifth year is well illustrated by a data set analyzed for the american cancer society (Jemal et al. 2005). Many studies have demonstrated the transnational discordance between health-care expenditures and health outcomes (Nolte and McKee 2003), with the United States as the outlier (Bodenheimer 2005). Some of my own papers explore the concept that proximate causes pale next to ses and job satisfaction in determining our mortal fate (Hadler 2001,2005a)." - Nortin M. Hadler MD, Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (Get the book.)

"According to the American Cancer Society's estimated 2008 cancer mortality rates, 565,650 men and women will die from cancer this year (2008). That's 6,000 deaths more than in 2007. In a country that supposedly has the most advanced and successful medical system in the world, this trend clearly shows that the currently applied symptom-oriented approaches to cancer are heavily flawed and in fact, have failed. Oh, These Bad Free Radicals! Now imagine if we actually focused on removing the root causes of cancer." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "According to the american cancer society, up to 35% of the nearly 900,000 new cases of cancer each year in the United States could be prevented by following proper dietary recommendations. Researcher Rollo Russell writes in his Notes on the Causation of Cancer: "I have found of twenty-five nations eating flesh largely, nineteen had a high cancer rate and only one had a low rate, and that of thirty-five nations eating little or no flesh, none of these had a high rate." Furthermore, T. Colin Campbell, PhD and Thomas M." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"We see a reckless indifference to them on the part of many industries, federal institutions, and organizations, including the multibilhon-dollar mainstream cosmetics and personal care products industry; powerful global trade associations backed by paid "scientists"; governmental institutions, particularly the National Cancer Institute; and cancer "charities," particularly the american cancer society, along with similar cancer establishments worldwide." - Samuel S. Epstein, Randall Fitzgerald, Toxic Beauty: How Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Endanger Your Health . . . And What You Can Do about It (Get the book.)

"All this, we should add, comes with significant private and public expense. The American Cancer Society's recommendation— yearly digital exam and fecal blood screening, and signoidoscopy every three years after age fifty—would cost $1 billion annually. The 1996 Task Force estimated the cost-effectiveness of screening at about $30,000 per year of life saved.40 It gave the grade "A" for colorectal screening, concluding that it is "effective in reducing mortality" and is "underused by age-eligible adults." - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.)

"If people were to switch from SAD foods to live foods, most medical professionals, food giants, restaurant owners, pharmacists, drug salespeople, people employed by the american cancer society and other such organizations searching for drug cures, herbicide and pesticide producers and even many veterinarians and alternative health care professionals would all have to change or radically revamp their careers. This would upset the employee ladder from janitors to executives in every country!" - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"Not only did the american cancer society disagree, but the U.S. Senate passed a resolution repudiating the consensus, demanding revised guidelines and convening investigative hearings. Woolf and Lawrence describe a climate and a response that was an assault on intellectual freedom. Three months after the "consensus panel" published its report, the National Cancer Institute reversed its stand and recommended mammographic screening for women forty to forty-nine years old. For those of us who are students of Karl Popper, this saga is dramatic but predictable." - Nortin M. Hadler MD, Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (Get the book.) "Medicare recipients. The american cancer society was at the heels of health insurers to the same end. The general consensus has evolved to cut to the chase, to forego fobt and flexible sigmoidoscopy and go directly to colonoscopy with a periodicity based on some guess at the dwell time. The zeal is such that the medical community is downplaying the iatrogenic downsides. Fortunately, a paper has appeared that makes the case for sparing all average-risk people under age fifty this right of passage. Fortunately, as well, the 2002 recommendations of the U.S." - Nortin M. Hadler MD, Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (Get the book.) "The recommendations are a cacophony (Vastag 2002): the American Academy of Family Physicians recommends counseling men over fifty, the american cancer society recommends annual psa testing for men over fifty, the American College of Physicians recommends individualized decision making, the ama calls mass screening "premature," the Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care found "fair evidence" for screening, and Medicare includes annual screening as a standard benefit. In 2002 the U.S." - Nortin M. Hadler MD, Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (Get the book.)

"Funded by the National Institutes of Health, the american cancer society, and the American Institute for Cancer Research, the study was called by the New York Times the "Grand Prix of Epidemiology." His research team investigated the role of protein in promoting cancer. They found one protein that consistently and strongly promoted cancer—casein in cow's milk. Casein is 87 percent of the proteins in dairy, and it promotes all stages of the cancer process. What were the safe proteins? Those from plant sources." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) "LUNG CANCER A study by Curtis Mettlin, funded by the american cancer society and cited in the International Journal of Cancer, April 15, 1989, showed that people drinking three or more glasses of whole milk a day had a twofold increase in lung cancer.42 BREAST AND PROSTATE CANCERS The journal Cancer in 1989 reported that men drinking three or more glasses a day of whole milk were shown to have a 2.49 times increase in prostate cancer.43 A 2001 Harvard review of the research put a finer point on it: Twelve of ... fourteen case-control studies and seven of ..." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Man-to-Man, c/o american cancer society, 800-ACS-2345, www.cancer.org Ato Sex Please, Before the Blood Test Urologists recently reported a significant finding regarding PSA testing and the male prostate gland: In order to provide an accurate measure of PSA—prostate specific antigen—in the bloodstream, men should refrain from having sex 24 to 48 hours before the test. The proteins found in PSA, which are known to become more abundant after ejaculation, are made by both healthy and cancerous cells." - Bottom Line Books, Uncommon Cures For Everyday Ailments (Get the book.) "It's too soon to say that there is a definitive relationship between the two phenomena—but it's not too soon to speculate or, male health experts believe, to test the hypothesis Support Groups Ease Emotional Pain I n the spirit of support groups founded by breast cancer patients in the 1980s, such as Y-Me, two national groups for prostate cancer survivors arrived on the scene in the 1990s: Us-Too, based in the Chicago area, and Man-to-Man, organized by the american cancer society." - Bottom Line Books, Uncommon Cures For Everyday Ailments (Get the book.)

"But when the american cancer society also joined in making the committee's life difficult, at that point he realized that a kind of medical mafia was in charge of things. Only after being in the system for many years did he learn that an honest search for truth in science is rare. Entrenched forces of money, ego, power and control take priority over the real quest for health. Although more and more people are catching on to the importance of diet to good health, medical schools persist in failing to educate medical students about nutrition." - Susan E.
