"Yellow eyes can also signal pancreatic cancer, sickle cell anemia, and yellow fever, a tropical disease transmitted by a mosquito bite. Yellow eyes may signal Gilbert's syndrome, a hereditary form of jaundice, which affects up to 10% of Caucasians and does not usually cause medical problems. Indeed, other than high bilirubin levels, people with this syndrome have no other SPEAKING OF SIGNS When a man speaks the truth in the spirit of truth, his eye is as clear as the heavens.

"One recent alarming study showed that the effect of a diet filled with sugary foods can make you up to 70 percent more vulnerable to pancreatic cancer.9 Researchers believe this is because a constant flood of sugar puts your pancreas into overdrive as it struggles to produce the insulin your body needs to control elevated sugar in your blood. foods that are extraordinarily sweet, your taste buds grow accustomed to this extraordinary level of sweetness and then crave it." - Wendy Bazilian, DRPH, MA, RD, Steven Pratt, MD, Kathy Matthews, Superfoods Rx Diet: Lose Weight with the Power of SuperNutrients (Get the book.)

"Women taking aspirin more than 20 years have a 58% increased risk of pancreatic cancer.305 So let us repeat: • Many drugs do have side effects. • Drugs are not tested long enough resulting in side effects coming to light only after many years. • A high dose of a drug can kill. • A wrong drug can kill. • Drugs can have dangerous interactions, and one drug can suddenly react with another drug and cause disease -even death. 302 Mike Adams, "Aspirin and painkiller drugs cause widespread stomach ulcer," http://www.newstarget.com/000202.html 303 http://uk.reuters." - Kenneth W Thomas, Ron Gilbert, Gerd Schaller, Side Effects: The Hidden Agenda of the Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel (Get the book.) "Fourteen aspirins a week increases the risk for pancreatic cancer by 86%, 6 - 13 a week still 41% bolstered risk and 1 - 3, 11% elevated risk. Adverse drug reactions (ADR) are a long term, huge problem in Great Britain, for example, and account for 1 in 16 hospital admissions.90 Heavy use of pain medication harms kidneys; heavy use of aspirins (or acetaminophen) is associated with a recently discovered condition affecting people with irreversible kidney failure. The condition is known as sick (small, indented and calcified) kidneys." - Kenneth W Thomas, Ron Gilbert, Gerd Schaller, Side Effects: The Hidden Agenda of the Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel (Get the book.)

"One woman who had Stage IV pancreatic cancer tried a raw diet, but the cancer would not go away. She then tried the green smoothie diet, hoping to prolong her life a bit more. After her next tests, however, the doctor told her that not only was the cancer gone, but also her pancreatic juices were healthier than the average! Other testimonials in her book describe no more cravings for coffee, meat, sweets and fats; freedom from need of a wheelchair; normalized Bi2 levels, and healed eczema and cataracts. Victoria notes that the jaw needs exercise." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"Compare that with 3 percent for pancreatic cancer, 10 percent for lung cancer, and 70 percent for breast cancer. It follows that it is hard to justify any colon cancer screening in an octogenarian. By eighty-five, many diseases are vying to be fatal before you are ninety. The other extreme of the age spectrum is more problematic. The death of a young person is a tragedy regardless the cause. If a disease-specific tragedy such as death from colon cancer can be avoided, what would stay our hand?" - Nortin M. Hadler MD, Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (Get the book.)

"If you require major surgery (such as a transplant operation) or have a life-threatening condition (such as an aortic aneurysm or pancreatic cancer), a teaching hospital is your best option. Smaller hospitals are fine for patients with "routine" health problems, such as pneumonia or a broken leg. Warning: In the summer months, teaching hospitals are largely staffed by new residents and interns. Their lack of experience can adversely affect patient care. If you can, avoid teaching hospitals during the first two weeks of July, when the new school year begins. Other points to consider..." - Bottom Line Health, Bottom Line's Health Breakthroughs 2007 (Get the book.)

"According to the manufacturer's literature (MUCOS Pharma GmbH & Co, undated), Wobe-Mugos appears to be somewhat effective in treating patients with pancreatic cancer. Over 30 patients with pancreatic cancer, treated solely with Wobe-Mugos and vitamin A, were still alive after 2 years. A number of these patients have survived at least five to nine years. Historically, the expected mean survival for patients with pancreatic cancer is seven months." - John Boik, Cancer & Natural Medicine: A Textbook of Basic Science and Clinical Research (Get the book.)

"I'm reminded of a man who was a patient of my former nutritionist who had pancreatic cancer. He did all the natural healing programs and rid his body of pancreatic cancer. Then, suddenly he died, and the doctors could not determine the cause of death because there was no pancreatic cancer left in his body. It was his time to go. Natural healing offers us healing from disease, but not necessarily from death. Death always comes at exacdy the right moment, and new life springs up out of its remains.

"Yet another study, based on 213 pancreatic cancer patients and a cancer-free comparison group, revealed "significantly decreased risk" for those drinking green tea.17 BLADDER CANCER Approximately 50,000 new cases of bladder cancer are diagnosed annually, with four times as many men as women falling victim to the disease. Environmental factors play a role in cancer of the bladder, with cases much more common in cigarette smokers and industrial workers (including the dye, chemical, leather, and rubber industries). Polyphenols may mitigate some of the harmful effects of tobacco use." - Lester A. Mitscher and Victoria Toews, The Green Tea Book (Get the book.)

"PANCREATIC CANCER The etiology of pancreatic cancer is unknown, and reports of associated factors have been contradictory. The prognosis of patients with pancreatic cancer is very poor, the average survival being less than two years even in patients with local tumors. Chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery are of very limited efficacy. Survival data are presented in Table H.7 and Figure H.9. Signs and symptoms are often vague and insidious. They include weight loss, jaundice, back pain, depression, hepatomegaly, anorexia, dark urine, and light stools." - John Boik, Cancer & Natural Medicine: A Textbook of Basic Science and Clinical Research (Get the book.)

"Over 30 patients with pancreatic cancer, treated solely with Wobe-Mugos and vitamin A, were still alive after 2 years. A number of these patients have survived at least five to nine years. Historically, the expected mean survival for patients with pancreatic cancer is seven months. If Wobe-Mugos is particularly effective in treating pancreatic cancer, it may be related to the en-teropancreatic recycling of proteolytic digestive enzymes (Beynon and Kay, 1976; Gotze and Rothman, 1975; Lei-bow and Rothman, 1975)." - John Boik, Cancer & Natural Medicine: A Textbook of Basic Science and Clinical Research (Get the book.)

"Clinical Cancer Research 5:3842-3947, 1999] Another study employed 12,000 mg of fish oil per day, which produced a favorable weight gain in pancreatic cancer patients. [Journal Nutrition 12:S27-S30, 1996] Fish oil during cancer treatment An analysis of available studies shows that oral omega-3 supplements increase appetite in cancer patients and improves survival.

"Any of these unused enzymes remaining in the pancreas can damage or destroy pancreatic cells, which leads to pancreatitis— a common cause of diabetes and pancreatic cancer. In any case, the inability of the pancreas to produce enough insulin can be a lifesaver, at least temporarily. The body often sacrifices one part to save another more vital part. It is obvious, though, that this act of cancer-preventive self-preservation also means that there is not enough insulin around to transport the sugar out of the bloodstream." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"Harvard School of Public Health, dozens of studies show beneficial associations between eating fruits and vegetables high in carotenoids and less cardiovascular disease, not to mention less prostate, lung, stomach, colon, breast, cervix, and pancreatic cancer.

"The risk of developing pancreatic cancer is related in part to the amount of sugar in the diet. Studies show that people who drink fizzy or syrup-based drinks twice a day or more run a 90 percent higher risk of getting cancer of the pancreas than those who never drink them. YOU Tip: See the Chia. Chia pets may have no apparent purpose, but chia seed? Now, that's something to get excited about. Chia-a harvested, unprocessed, nutty-tasting, nutrient-dense whole grain with omega-3 fatty acids-has among the highest antioxidant activity of any whole food, outdistancing even fresh blueberries." - Mehmet C.

"Similar findings have been found in one small clinical trial with people suffering from pancreatic cancer.4 Case reports from Japan suggest that intravenous lentinan may be helpful in treating people with HrV (page 239) infection.5 However, large-scale clinical trials to confirm this action have not yet been performed. Oral supplementation of lentinan from shiitake has been shown to significantly reduce the recurrence rate of genital warts (condyloma acuminata). A preliminary trial involving a group of men and women with genital warts found that those who took 12." - Alan R. Gaby, M.D., Jonathan V. Wright, M.D., Forrest Batz, Pharm.D.

"Pancreatic Cancer Researchers at the National Institutes of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) have reported a finding that may indicate a connection between diabetes and pancreatic cancer. NIDDK researchers reported this potential connection based on review of twenty studies done between 1975 and 1994 that dealt with pancreatic cancer risk factors. In eighteen of the twenty, diabetes emerged as a risk factor. Treatment. Good blood glucose control and a healthy lifestyle remain the strongest lines of defense against diabetic complications." - Dr. Vern Cherewatenko and Paul Perry, The Diabetes Cure : A Natural Plan That Can Slow, Stop, Even Cure Type 2 Diabetes (Get the book.)

"The provision of 400 IU of vitamin D per day has been found to reduce the risk of pancreatic cancer by 43%.

"Research reported by the product's manufacturer indicated that pancreatic cancer responded well to this treatment, with 30 patients still alive two years after receiving the enzymes; some of these patients survived 5-9 years. Nicholas Gonzalez, M.D, of New York City, used diet, detoxification, and large doses of enzymes with 11 patients with pancreatic cancer; 81% survived for one year and 45% for two years.21 This must be seen in contrast to the "standard" survival expectation of seven months for pancreatic cancer." - Larry Trivieri, Jr., Alternative Medicine the Definitive Guide, Second Edition (Get the book.)

"Obesity increases a person's risk of developing breast, colon, endometrial, kidney, esophageal, and pancreatic cancer, as well as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and multiple myelomas. Being overweight also increases a woman's odds of dying from cancer, particularly ovarian cancer. Prediabetes (usually diagnosed as insulin resistance) is common in patients with cancer. It may have contributed to the risk of cancer, and it may also be a consequence of metabolic changes from having cancer." - Jack Challem, Stop Prediabetes Now: The Ultimate Plan to Lose Weight and Prevent Diabetes (Get the book.)

"Surprisingly, however, the same report found that people drinking only one or two cups of coffee per day had, on average, a lower risk of pancreatic cancer compared with people who never drink coffee.

"Viral infections still cause cancers, like some lymphomas, cervical cancer, and perhaps prostate cancer, while bacterial infection of your gums can increase your risk of pancreatic cancer, heart disease, and stroke. Believe it or not, more than 90 percent of the cells in your body are not actually yours but belong to foreign organisms. Even though our bodies have ten trillion cells, our intestines alone have ten times that many foreign cells. You're actually just a minority stakeholder in your own body." - Mehmet C.

"Some alternative therapies sometimes work with pancreatic cancer," he said. "I've talked with several survivors of pancreatic cancer who were evidently cured by alternative therapies. I talked with one man right in my living room, a medically certified case of pancreatic cancer who today, ten or eleven years after he was diagnosed, was completely clean. No tumors left, just scar tissue on his pancreas."" - John Robbins, Reclaiming Our Health: Exploding the Medical Myth and Embracing the True Source of Healing (Get the book.)
