"It has been estimated by the World cancer research Fund that 30% to 40% of all cancers can be prevented by diet, physical activity and proper body weight management. Nutrient-sparse foods such as refined flour and concentrated sugar products, low fiber intake, red meat consumption, and low omega-3 and omega-6 intake may all contribute to cancer risk." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"Lance Armstrong has been seduced by this argument, and he's out there selling millions and millions of yellow bracelets that people wear when they part with more money for so-called cancer research. He may not know that the exact same promise was made decades ago. We were promised a cure for cancer by the end of the 70s, by the end of the 80s and, once again, by the end of the 90s. Now, cancer researchers are saying it's just a matter of more money before they find a cure for this disease. Well, folks, it's not a disease, it is a name given to a pattern of symptoms." - Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.) "Still, each year people are seduced into giving up money for so-called cancer research with the ridiculous promise that all it's going to take is more money for us to find a cure. Lance Armstrong has been seduced by this argument, and he's out there selling millions and millions of yellow bracelets that people wear when they part with more money for so-called cancer research. He may not know that the exact same promise was made decades ago. We were promised a cure for cancer by the end of the 70s, by the end of the 80s and, once again, by the end of the 90s." - Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.)

"Selikoff cancer research Award from The Ramazzini Institute for Occupational and Environmental Health Research in 1995; the Newsweek Club award in 1997; the First Children's environmental Health Award from The Pew Center for Children's Health and the Environment in 1999; and the Distinguished Lecturer in Occupational and Environmental Cancer at the National Cancer Institute in 2002, and an Honoris Causa (Honorary Doctorate) from the Jagiellonian University of Krakow in 2005.

"Researchers at the cancer research Center at the University of Hawaii published a case-controlled, multiethnic (Japanese, Caucasian, Native Hawaiian, Filipino, and Chinese) population study to examine the role of dietary soy, fiber, and related foods and nutrients on the risk of endometrial cancer.26 The diets of 300 women with endometrial cancer were compared with women in the general multiethnic population. The researchers found that high fat intake was positively associated with endometrial cancer, whereas a diet rich in fiber, soy, and other legumes reduced the risk of endometrial cancer." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"Here's a very specific example of this amplifying benefit: While we know that broccoli and tomatoes, both SuperFoods, are independently recognized for their ability to help prevent cancer, a study published in the journal cancer research reported that when both are included in the daily diet, the ultimate effect on prostate cancer is greater than when either vegetable is eaten alone. As the report noted, "The combination of tomato and broccoli was more effective at slowing tumor growth than either tomato or broccoli alone." - Wendy Bazilian, DRPH, MA, RD, Steven Pratt, MD, Kathy Matthews, Superfoods Rx Diet: Lose Weight with the Power of SuperNutrients (Get the book.)

"Only twenty-eight years old, he had begun his formal training in cancer research as a summer intern at the age of fourteen, at Roswell Park Cancer Institute, near his hometown of Buffalo, New York. He took his bachelor's degree in biochemistry, biophysics, and philosophy from Penn State and both a medical degree and a Ph.D., in medical genetics, from Columbia University. He served his internship and residency at Harvard." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.)

"These include World Health Organization International Agency for cancer research monographs; U.S. National Toxicology Program (NTP) reports, based on rodent tests, of some 600 chemicals; and NTFs infrequent Annual Reports on Carcinogens (initiated in 1978, with twelve reports published by 2006). These summarize evidence on a range of carcinogens identified through animal tests or human studies." - 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.)

"Our whole cancer research in the past 20 years has been a failure. More people over 30 are dying from cancer than ever before... More women with mild or benign diseases are being included in statistics and reported as being 'cured'. When government officials point to survival figures and say they are winning the war against cancer they are using those survival rates improperly." ~ Dr J. Bailer (New England Journal of Medicine, Sept/Oct 1990.) Official cancer statistics simply omit African Americans, a group that actually has the highest incidence of cancers." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"Cancer research claims ten times the annual research funding of autoimmune disease, although cancer affects less than half as many people. Despite the fact that autoimmune disease is the number-two cause of chronic illness and, on average, slices fifteen years off a patient's life, the level of autoimmune research funding is less than 2.2 percent of the National Institutes of Health budget. A report by the Institute of Medicine states that the United States still lags behind other countries in research into the processes and contaminants involved in autoimmunity." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.) "Deliberately exposing human subjects to certain chemicals and waiting to see if they are more likely to develop disease would be clearly unethical, which is why rats and mice have had to stand in place of humans in autoimmune disease research, just as they do in cancer research. First, they gave the mice drinking water that contained a fairly high dose of TCE. The dose was, in fact, about double what a worker in a dry cleaners or tannery might be "safely" exposed to under standards set by both EPA and Occupational Safety and Health Administration standards." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.) "Donald Larsen, a research biochemist and founding member of the National Cancer Institute, served as head of the cancer research grants program at the National Institutes of Health in 1955, he walked into medical laboratory settings every day that, world over, boasted little more than test tubes, microscopes, and Bunsen burners. As a young thirty-eight-year-old scientist in 1939, he had already become world renowned for being the first to demonstrate that cancer-causing chemicals could pass through the placenta and later cause tumors in offspring." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"You see, virtually all modern cancer research and treatments are based on that premise. • Surgically remove the cancel. • Burn it out with focused beams of radiation. • Poison it with chemo. • Or all of the above. If we want to end the cancer scourge, we need to look elsewhere for answers. And probably the best place to start is with a discussion of what cancer actually is. What Is Cancer Cancer is fundamentally a disease of the immune system. What do I mean by that?" - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"In fact, doctors at the Fred Hutchinson cancer research Center (FHCRC) in Seattle estimated that PSA screening may result in an over-diagnosis rate of more than 40 percent. To make matters worse, a disturbing new study finds that fully 15% of older men whose PSA readings were considered perfectly normal had prostate cancer—some with relatively advanced tumors. There is a much more reliable test than the PSA. The less well-known AMAS (Anti-Malignin Antibody Screening) blood test is very safe, inexpensive, and more than 95% accurate at detecting cancer of any type." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (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.)

"Goldstein, MD, director, breast evaluation center, and leader, breast cancer research program, Fox Chase Cancer Center, Philadelphia. Journal of Clinical Oncology. Typically, women who are diagnosed with advanced breast cancer that has metastasized (spread to other parts of the body) are given chemotherapy or hormone treatment rather than surgery. Many doctors believe that surgery offers no survival advantage for these patients, and may even worsen outcomes. But a recent Swiss study refutes that belief." - Bottom Line Health, Bottom Line's Health Breakthroughs 2007 (Get the book.)

"The Association for International cancer research (AICR) said that if current trends continue, the number of people _J 8L developing cancer was set to rise at an "alarming" rate. The World Health Organization predicts that cases of cancer will increase by up to 50% worldwide by 2020." - Mark Sircus, Transdermal Magnesium Therapy (Get the book.)

"In the words of a cancer research team at the University of Illinois, Chicago: "there is a consensus in the field that increasing genomic deregulation also appears to be paradoxically associated with increasing malignancy among the most invasive and metastatic tumor cells."17 The genetic profile of cancer cells, as well as their electrical charge, begins to deviate more and more from that of healthy cells." - Dawson Church, The Genie in Your Genes: Epigenetic Medicine and the New Biology of Intention (Get the book.)

"Kristal, DrPH, associate head, Cancer Prevention Research Program, Fred Hutchinson cancer research Center, and professor of epidemiology, University of Washington, Seattle. Janine Blackman, MD, PhD, assistant professor of family medicine and medical director, Center for Integrative Medicine, University of Maryland, Baltimore. Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine.

"MeJ icine in Hospitals The University of Texas has a cancer research and treatment facility in Houston called the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. In collaboration with a seven-hospital chain called Orlando Regional Healthcare, it has set up the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center Orlando (MDACCO) in Florida. M.D. Anderson Cancer Center Orlando Besides offering a wide range of cancer therapies and excellent conventional care, M.D. Anderson set up the pioneering Mind-Body-Spirit department that includes an Energy Medicine Program. It was set up and is managed by Patricia Butler, M.A." - Dawson Church, The Genie in Your Genes: Epigenetic Medicine and the New Biology of Intention (Get the book.)

"Dao, writing in cancer research, noted the "unique similarity" between natural human hormones and PAHs. Around the same time, researchers observed that PAHs may act on the same receptor sites as the estrogen molecules women's and men's own bodies produce.13 That means that petrochemicals like PAHs can attach themselves to women's and men's estrogen-sensitive tissues that would normally be receptive to endogenous estrogenic influences from the natural estrogen molecules circulating in both men's and women's bodies." - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.)

"When she did, neither Clarence Little nor cancer research would ever be the same. The threat to medical practice Throughout the 1930s, George Papanicolaou continued to study the pathology of cancer, preparing slides of cells taken from women's cervixes. He and his colleagues were achieving what Lasker had asked of Little—an improved way to keep cancer from killing people. In 1940 Papanicolaou and gynecologist Herbert Traut began training medical technologists to reliably distinguish healthy cervical cells from unhealthy ones on a microscope slide." - Devra Davis, The Secret History of the War on Cancer (Get the book.)

"Selenium Even according to the National Foundation for cancer research, the value of minerals as part of an anticancer diet is frequently overlooked. However, minerals can play a vital role in fighting cancer. In addition to magnesium, a prime example is the mineral selenium, which has powerful antioxidant properties. Selenium (Se) is an essential micro-nutrient with important biological and biochemical functions in organisms because of its unique antioxidant properties and its ability to regulate thyroid gland metabolism." - Mark Sircus, Transdermal Magnesium Therapy (Get the book.)

"In 1930 he left his position as a pathologist at Loyola Medical School in Chicago to work at the cancer research laboratory of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia—a facility that was heavily financed by Irenee du Pont, head of the DuPont Company. Hueper's first contacts with DuPont were encouraging. They came about through the recommendation of the DuPont family physician, who had been impressed with Hueper's research at Penn. Encouraged by what he thought was du Pont's open and frank attitude, in 1932 Hueper sent him a letter." - Devra Davis, The Secret History of the War on Cancer (Get the book.)

"Let's look at some cancer research with Astaxanthin: The anti-carcinogenic research for Astaxanthin has been limited thus far to in-vitro work and animal studies. In one in-vitro study, mouse tumor cells were put into a solution supplemented with Astaxanthin and into the same solution without Astaxanthin. After one and two days, it was found that the tumor cells in the Astaxanthin solution had lower cell numbers as well as a lower DNA synthesis rate (Sun, et al, 1998)." - Bob Capelli, ASTAXANTHIN: Natural Astaxanthin, King of the Carotenoids (Get the book.)

"Where the cancer drugs are concerned, Collier has suggested the Medicines Research Council could perhaps fund the kind of tests the charity cancer research UK called for at the UK parliamentary inquiry. 'There is little industry funding for research to determine the subgroups of patients that might benefit from particular therapies,'53 it said, asking for the knowledge that would enable the latest cancer drugs to be made available only to the patients who would benefit. From the companies' perspective, says Collier, they can go one of two ways in this respect." - Jacky Law, Big Pharma: Exposing the Global Healthcare Agenda (Get the book.)

"This logic proves true. cancer research specialist Dr. Gladys Block followed this precise logic while reviewing 172 epidemiological studies from around the world on diet and cancer. Dr. Block discovered a universal and consistent finding: those individuals who had the highest intake of fruits and vegetables (the main source of antioxidants) showed a significantly decreased risk of developing almost every kind of cancer. The risk of developing most cancers was two to three times less for those who had the highest intake of fruits and vegetables compared to those who had the lowest." - Ray D. Strand, What Your Doctor Doesn't Know About Nutritional Medicine May Be Killing You (Get the book.)

"Conversely, by eating the right diet you can cut your risk of cancer by up to 40 percent, says the World cancer research Fund, having reviewed some five thousand studies linking diet and cancer.27 The European Commission has estimated that a quarter of a million lives could be saved each year across the original twelve member states through dietary changes alone. According to the British cancer research Campaign, "At least three out of four of all cancers are potentially preventable, but will only be avoided if the messages get through at a young age." - Patrick Holford, The New Optimum Nutrition Bible (Get the book.)
