 "Some studies have linked vitamin A deficiencies to the development of tumors while others have reported increased risk for prostate cancer with excessive vitamin A intake. Such contradictory results can be due to different sources of the vitamin. It appears that supplementary vitamin A in the form of beta-carotene obtained from plant sources reduced the size and amount of prostate tumors, while vitamin A from animal sources increased it.11'12 Also, beta-carotene from green or yellow vegetables was found to be significantly protective.

 "Its sellers' promotional materials say it heals cancer, depression, fevers, glaucoma, tumors, ulcers, allergies, eczema, thrush, scabies, headaches, back pain, erectile dysfunction, glandular swelling, crooked teeth and on and on. No published clinical trials substantiate these claims, but Oprah loves it. Having generated over 200 million dollars in 2005, XanGo is predicting annual sales of 1 billion dollars by 2009.
Supplements sold through multilevel marketing generate over 4.2 billion dollars annually."- Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.) "Research linked the color to cancerous tumors in rats. These days, maraschinos contain Red Dye #40, a pigment found in Doritos, Pop-Tarts and other foods. (Parents of hyperactive children claim that the dye causes tantrums.) Snyder wrinkles his nose when I bring up maraschinos: "That's a bleached-out way to dump bad cherries." But when I ask him about the Grapple's safety, he reaches into his pocket. "A cell phone is a good example. What's a cell phone going to do to me? We don't know." He holds his phone to his ear questioningly as though he might hear an answer or, perhaps, the ocean." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.) |
 "The only real benefit of the MRI was to rule out serious unsuspected problems like tumors or fractures, though these were extremely unlikely, given Mr. Oscar's history and the results of a physical exam. In short, the MRI wasn't much help. His pain improved slowly over the next few weeks with physical therapy and exercises—which could have been prescribed without the MRI.
Mr. Paul's back pain story is my favorite: An avid mountain biker in his mid-forties, Mr. Paul came to me because of moderate to severe back pain, radiating down one leg to his midcalf."- John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.) "I prescribed medication to control her pain and the local infection around the tumors, but there was little chance that any therapy could control her underlying disease. As her physical condition deteriorated over the next few weeks, I made several house calls. We talked about what could be done to make her more comfortable; she told me about her friends and her spiritual practice, both of which were very important to her; and we talked about her family. She had been estranged from her parents for several years and was struggling with the decision about whether to let them back into her life." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.) |
 "The five-year survival rate for all stages is less than 1 percent since it is usually difficult to make an early diagnosis. The tumors grow for a long time period and demonstrate either no or only a few symptoms.
At the time of diagnosis, tumor growth beyond the organ itself is seen in 85 percent of the cases, and in 50 percent of the individuals, the regional lymph groups are already affected.
The survival time of an untreated, inoperable pancreas carcinoma is a mean of 3 to 4 months."- Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.) "The doctors located two tumors, one very high in the bowel and in a position that left little option except a colostomy. The urgency of this problem was evident when feces were found in her stomach, indicating that the tumor had almost blocked the bowel. The treating team of physicians at one of Adelaide, Australia's major hospitals implied in August 1999 that she might have three months before total bowel failure. Her condition was considered to be terminal. In a surprise move, Kathleen refused to have an operation and said she wanted to go home." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.) "Cancer cells derived from glial tumors have been found to be inhibited by IPg with inositol experimentally. Jeanne M. Wallace, Ph.D., C.N.C., reported that in her work with brain tumor patients she has noted beneficial results with IPg used in combination with other nutritional and botanical therapies. Hodgkin's Disease. Experimentally, lymphoma cell lines have been found to respond to IPg. Although Hodgkin's disease is also a lymphoma, it was not tested per se." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.) |
 "Also, in the twenty-one years that the Smithsonian Institution's Registry of tumors in Lower Animals had been recording, only twelve tumors were found in sharks, which was only 1 percent of all tumors found in fish.8 Experiments showed that in a test tube, shark cartilage also appeared to inhibit the growth of tumors.
The test results were reported in scientific journals, but the news soon hit the headlines with misleading claims that shark cartilage could cure cancer and stop AIDS."- Peggy Thomas, Medicines From Nature (Get the book.) |
 "Certain other cancers—brain tumors, leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and central nervous system malignancies—have grown at an even more rapid rate, about 30 percent over the last two decades. The National Cancer Institute estimates that these rates will continue to climb an additional 1 percent every year.
And why? What's causing these increases? "In my professional opinion, and according to the National Cancer Institute," said Dr."- Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.) |
 "During the surgery to remove the growth, the doctors actually found five tumors, two of which were malignant and had spread into Jason's abdomen. Needless to say, Jason's prognosis was dire. He found himself facing the doctor and hearing the news that all of us dread hearing: "You have six to eight weeks to live," they told him. "You'd better get your things in order."
"I was completely naive," says Jason of his approach to the news. "But I figured that I'd made myself sick, so I could make myself well."- Rick Foster, Greg Hicks, M.D., Jen Seda, Choosing Brilliant Health: 9 Choices That Redefine What It Takes to Create Lifelong Vitality and Well-Being (Get the book.) |
 "None of the rats in the study developed abnormalities, and it is this fact that apparently prompted the FDA to continue its support of the psychiatric drug: "FDA considers the results of the studies a signal of a weak cancer-causing potential for this drug—the positive findings were seen in only one organ (the liver) which is known to be particularly likely to develop tumors to a wide variety of stimuli and there was no increase in mortality associated with the tumors." Great! The cancer only showed up in one organ, only in mice, not rats, and none of the rodents died."- Kelly Patricia O'Meara, Psyched Out: How Psychiatry Sells Mental Illness and Pushes Pills That Kill (Get the book.) |
 "A tumor-milieu, a cell environment that is poorly oxygenated and highly acidic, is the ideal medium to favor the growth of cancer cells and the microorganisms found in cancerous tumors.
As difficult as this may be to come to terms with, defective genes can not be the cause of cancer. It is a fact that millions of people with defective genes will never develop the diseases these defects are supposed to cause. You can actually remove the nucleus of a cancer cell, and yet for several weeks or months the cell will continue to live and behave in exactly the same abnormal way as before. "- Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "Sleeping" tumors that would never really cause much harm to the body, may now be aroused into powerful defensive reactions and become aggressive, not unlike relatively harmless bacteria that turn into dangerous superbugs when attacked by antibiotic medication. It makes absolutely no sense that at a time you need to strengthen the body's most important healing system—the immune system—you would subject yourself to radical treatments that actually weaken or destroy the immune system." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "The strongest inverse correlation is with breast, colon, and ovarian cancer, followed by tumors of the bladder, uterus, esophagus, rectum, and stomach. To obtain the disease-curbing benefits of sunlight, you need to be outside at least three times a week for a minimum of 15-20 minutes. Avoid using sunscreens and sunglasses; otherwise you won't gain the benefits from sunlight exposure. (See Chapter 4 for details)." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) |
 "If IGF-1 is low, I measure a blood prolactin level (to exclude any benign pituitary tumors). At this point I also refer patients to an endocrinologist for growth hormone stimulation tests. If IGF levels are low-normal and/or urine growth hormone is low, I generally prescribe growth hormone or a growth hormone support.
Growth Hormone Support
The building blocks of protein are called amino acids. Amino acids such as arginine, lysine, ornithine, glutamine, threonine, glycine, tryptophan, and tyrosine all stimulate growth hormone production."- Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.) |
 "One Egyptian medical papyrus, called the Codex Elsers, contained more than twenty medicinal formulas citing garlic as a cure for heart disease, worms, and tumors.
In more recent times, garlic has gained the reputation as a natural antibiotic. This germ-killing property is attributed to allicin, a sulfur compound that gives garlic its distinctive odor. Researchers have developed stabilized garlic compounds for use with supplements and found they have considerable promise against antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains.
Pathogens contribute to inflammation."- Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.) |

 "The result is improper digestion and poor liver function. tumors can also produce hormones and enzymes that interfere with regular body metabolism.
The greatest problem with cancer is that since there are hundreds of different types of cells in the human body, there are hundreds of different types of cancers. The type of cell in which the cancer starts will generally determine the speed at which it grows and its resistance to treatment, although there are many variables involved. The location or type of cell where the cancer starts will give a cancer its name."- Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.) "Animal studies have found that some probiotics can prevent or help treat tumors. How do probiotics, the bacteria that live primarily in the intestinal tract, play a role in cancer, a disease with a complicated origin? And, how do probiotics help prevent disease in organs so far away from where they live? Knowledge to date in this area is preliminary. However, probiotics appear to have three ways to fight cancer. First, certain strains of probiotics can eliminate substances that can be turned into carcinogens and promote the development of cancer. Such a substance is called a pro-carcinogen." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.) "In fact, animal studies have found that reducing the activity of these enzymes does reduce the incidence of tumors (cancer). Probiotics may be a way to reduce the presence and activity of these cancer-promoting enzymes in the colon. Studies show that some probiotics can reduce Bifidobacteria probiotics may participate in the metabolism of various compounds including the omega-6 fatty acid, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). CLA is thought to have anti-cancer effects. By helping the body work with CLA, probiotics can indirectly help reduce the risk of colorectal cancer." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.) |
 "Tofu with tea tames tumors. People in Asian countries tend to eat soy products and drink tea on a regular basis. Certain types of cancer, including prostate and breast cancer, are significantly lower in the Asian population than in the United States, which begs the question: Is there some anticancer synergy going on between those two Asian staples? Fascinating research with green tea and black tea suggests there is a link."- Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.) |

 "CANCER: One study found that black currant juice stopped the growth of tumors in mice.
BLOOD PRESSURE: Currant seed oil was given to a group with mildly high blood pressure. Scientists attribute their significant decline in blood pressure to the gamma-linoleic acid found in the berry.
Tips on Using Currants
SELECTION AND STORAGE:
• Currants come fresh, dried, juiced, and in jams and jellies.
• Choose berries with the darkest colors. Currants can also be bought frozen.
• Keep currants refrigerated and use them within two days. Wash just before use. Fresh currants can be frozen."- David W. Grotto, RD, LDN, 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life! (Get the book.) |
 "It wasn't long before stories about tumors related to aspartame started popping up. Jokes abounded about which sweetener you used — the one that causes cancer or tumors? Not long afterwards, marketing spin was created for a new chemical "derivative of sugar" called sucralose, branded as Splenda®. Did you fall for this one like I did?"- Craig Pepin-Donat, The Big Fat Health and Fitness Lie (Get the book.) |
 "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. Yet his was only one small speck of discovery in the burgeoning age of miracles.
In the span of the next thirty to forty years scientists discovered a range of antibiotics, invented vaccines that would wipe out polio and prevent hundreds of thousands of deaths from rubella and typhus, and America began the war on cancer."- Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.) |
 "Certainly tumors beyond the reach of the flexible sigmoidoscope are elusive. There is a recent study suggesting that one invasive cancer and nine adenomas with high-grade dysplasia would be missed if 1,500 women (half between fifty
and sixty years old and the other half older) were screened with flexible sigmoidoscopy rather than colonoscopy (Schoenfeld et al. 2005). The more recent literature has moved the debate to issues of screening colonoscopy rather than flexible sigmoidoscopy. The paper demonstrating futility in individuals younger than fifty is by Imperiale et al. (2002)."- Nortin M. Hadler MD, Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (Get the book.) |
 "The pathology itself— especially malignant tumors—has a face, a kind of beingness. tumors are strange, alien, frightening, inimical aberrations of biology. "It looked like a gray tennis ball with rough, irregular ridges resembling fish scales on its surface . . . Malignant tumors usually spread into the brain and you can't tell where they start or stop." The tumors get the body to feed them through its arteries. The surgeon "tracked the tumor through a tunnel it had formed as it grew into the brain ..."- Richard Leviton, Physician: Medicine and the Unsuspected Battle for Human Freedom (Get the book.) |
| "MELANOMA: Eighty-two percent of lung tumors resulting from metastatic melanoma were reduced in mice who were administered a component of wasabi.
BREAST CANCER: A human cell line study showed that a relatively small concentration of wasabi inhibited up to 50 percent of breast cancer cells.
CANCER: Both wasabi and horseradish inhibited the growth of colon, lung, and stomach cancer cells in a human cell study.
ORAL HEALTH: Wasabi has even been known to prevent tooth decay.
BACTERIA KILLER: Horseradish and wasabi root have components including isothiocyanates that are effective in killing H." - David W. Grotto, RD, LDN, 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life! (Get the book.) "LUNG CANCER: Mint given to mice with lung cancer reduced tumors significantly. The effects were attributed to the antioxidative and radical scavenging properties of mint. BACTERIA: Research indicates that some essential oils may reduce food-borne pathogens. In one study, the natural essential oils found in mint prevented E. coli bacteria from growing. Mint might provide an alternative to conventional antimicrobial additives in foods. PINWORM: Mint was found to have significant killing effect on pin-worms." - David W.
