"BLADDER CANCER: In a study of 130 bladder cancer patients and an equal number of control subjects, those who had consumed kale regularly had a lower risk for bladder cancer. Tips on Using Kale SELECTION AND STORAGE: • Smaller leaves are milder-flavored. Choose deeply colored leaves for tenderness and optimum flavor. • Avoid dry, wilted, and limp leaves. Tiny holes in the leaves may be an indication of insect damage. • Keep unwashed kale in a plastic bag and store in the refrigerator crisper. Place a damp paper towel in the bag to keep moist. Cook it within a few days of purchase." - David W. Grotto, RD, LDN, 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life! (Get the book.)

"All of the mice treated with BBN developed bladder cancer. While each of the mushrooms reduced the number of bladder cancers, maitake was clearly most effective (carcinomas were observed in 46.7 percent of the maitake-treated mice compared to 52.9 percent and 65 percent for shiitake and oyster, respectively). The researchers also noted that the mushrooms helped prevent a significant depression in lymphocyte and NK cell activity. Maitake induces release of cytokines. Another way that maitake's beta-glucans may help is by stimulation of tumor inhibitors." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"Preliminary research in the ability of probiotics to reduce the risk of bladder cancer is one of the most fascinating areas of this field. More research is coming in this area. There are only limited results to date. Researchers have found that probiotics likely offer a protective effect against superficial bladder cancer. One species in particular has been the focus of research in this area: Lactobacillus casei Shirota. This particular species was first investigated due to findings from an epidemiological study which found that individuals who consumed L." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"Shirota had only a 57% recurrence of bladder cancer, while the placebo group experienced an 83% recurrence of the disease. Whether other strains of Lactobacilli or other probiotic species offer beneficial effects on the bladder is not yet known. It is likely, though, that other species offer beneficial effects to the bladder. Future research is needed in this area to determine what mixture of species can offer the best anti-cancer effects." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.) "The risk of lung, colon, liver and bladder cancer may be reduced with the help of probiotics. Lactobacilli species have been shown in research to have anti-cancer effects on the body. Other probiotic species likely offer similar anti-cancer benefits to humans. Prebiotics may also help fight the development of cancer, particularly colon cancer. The most promising research is the ability of probiotics to improve the health of cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.) "In a clinical trial, patients who had been treated for superficial bladder cancer were given L. casei Shirota with positive results. L. casei Shirota is not thought to inhabit the bladder as it is a sterile environment. Its positive effect on the bladder occurs in the intestinal tract. The hypothesis is that L. casei Shirota binds compounds in the intestine that can cause cancer, making them unavailable, thus they cannot be absorbed into the blood, filtered by the kidneys and sent to the bladder where they cause damage." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"Adults have suffered, too, as is apparent in the rising rates of cancers linked specifically to toxins, such as bladder cancer and lymphoma. But kids, with their smaller bodies and immature metabolisms, have absorbed a disproportionate blow. As evidenced by the new childhood epidemics, children are our society's proverbial canaries in the coal mine, the probable harbingers of increased, widespread illness among all Americans in the future. If any one of these four deadly changes had been avoided, the epidemics might not have occurred." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"A study at the University of Washington showed that drinking five glasses of water a day decreases the risk of colon cancer by 35 percent, the risk of breast cancer by 79 percent, and the risk of bladder cancer by 50 percent. This is a significant statement about the importance of water. Dehydration is something that may happen with age, so one of the main anti-aging treatments is drinking adequate water—about a half gallon (64 ounces) per day for a 150-pound person." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"These compounds include such deadly chemicals as chloroform, bromoform, and carbon tetrachloride, all of which have been linked with increased incidences of atherosclerosis, colon and rectal cancer, and bladder cancer. Chlorinated water also destroys much of our beneficial intestinal flora, needed to protect us from pathogens. Drugged Drinking Water Pharmaceutical drugs prescribed at high rates such as antidepressants and antibiotics are now turning up in rivers and groundwater." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"Those who ate meat were at twice the risk of getting bladder cancer and a 65 percent increase in the risk of getting ovarian cancer," Fraser said. "For lung cancer, we found an extensive relationship with smoking, which is no surprise, although most Adventists are past smokers if they smoked at all. We naturally have a large percentage of Adventists who never smoked, and when we looked at them, the ones who ate two or more servings of fruit per day had about 70 percent fewer lung cancers than those nonsmokers who ate fruit only once or twice a week." "Tell him about water," Butler prompted." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.)

"And studies that track the diets of people over time have found that diets high in cruciferous vegetables are associated with drastically lower rates of prostate and bladder cancer. For example, men who ate three servings of these vegetables a week reduced their prostate cancer risk by 41 percent, as reported in the September 2006 issue of Environmental Nutrition. Lab studies suggest that many important phytochemicals in broccoli fight tumor growth at different stages of the cancer process, making it a true powerhouse vegetable." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.) "Breast and prostate cancers are the most common types in the United States (excluding nonmelanoma skin cancer), followed by lung, colon, and bladder cancer. / According to estimates from the American Institute for Cancer Research, if everyone ate at least five servings of vegetables and fruits per day, cancer rates could fall by as much as 20 percent. Scientists have been gaining ground on this complex disease; specifically, we have a much better understanding of how cancer cells grow." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.)

"A number of different studies found that women who use hair dye at least once a month are twice as likely to develop bladder cancer as those who do not. The risk triples when women use hair dye regularly for 15 or more years. These risks are the same regardless whether the women use permanent, semi-permanent, or rinse applications. The chemicals contained in commercial hair dye products penetrate the scalp and enter the blood stream." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"Pioglitazone has been associated with a ninepound increase in weight as well as an increase in bladder cancer, which was marginally statistically significant. The glitazones inhibit the release of free fatty acids from cells, which can make you, well, more fatty. In some cases, these drugs can cause a weight gain of up to a hundred pounds. Since type 2 diabetes is worsened by weight gain, this means that the medications that are supposed to treat the condition may be doing just the opposite. Overall there is an eight-pound weight gain with glitazones." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)

"Another study, involving 293 bladder cancer patients and 589 healthy controls, found that drinking green tea corresponded to a significantly lower risk of bladder cancer in women.18 CANCER TREATMENTS Cancer is no longer an automatic death sentence; in fact, most people diagnosed with cancer do not die, and the probability of a complete cure or extended survival is continually improving as scientists and physicians have a growing knowledge and understanding of cancer. For example, 89 percent of people survive skin cancer, 95 percent survive thyroid cancer, and 16 percent survive lung cancer." - Lester A. Mitscher and Victoria Toews, The Green Tea Book (Get the book.) "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.)

"Inadequate water intake has been correlated with increased rates of bladder cancer because of the longer time that the bladder may be exposed to potential carcinogens. One half-gallon to one gallon is a reasonable range of liquids for most people to drink each day. Hard work in the hot sun greatly increases water needs. Coffee, Figure 7-2 Blood pressure and water retention. tea, sodas, and alcoholic beverages are not good water substitutes as their diuretic action causes losses of about half of the amount taken." - Dr. Steve Blake, Vitamins and Minerals Demystified (Get the book.)

"Most,39' 40>41 but not all,42 published reports have shown coffee drinkers are at increased risk of bladder cancer, though in one case the relationship was found only in men.43 In anothet study, the association was found only with caffeinated coffee.44 A review of 35 trials found a small (7%) increased risk of bladder cancer in coffee drinkers compared with people not drinking coffee—a difference not statistically significant.45 Calories Scientists have known for many years that severe restriction of calories dramatically reduces the risk of cancer in laboratory animals." - Alan R.

"Rarely, bladder cancer may be the cause if blood in the urine is present. The diagnosis of IC is based upon the presenting signs and symptoms. A good medical history, physical exam, and tests are done to determine the cause of the symptoms. A cystoscopy or intravesical potassium sensitivity test may be recommended. Once the diagnosis of IC has been made, either with certainty or as a possibility, treatment can proceed." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"Isoflavonones (genistein, genistin, daidzein, and biochanin A) also inhibit growth of murine and human bladder cancer cell lines by inducing cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, and angiogenesis (Zhou et al., 1998). Quercetin blocks the cell cycle at Gl/S phase in human colonic COLO320 DM cells (Hosokawa et al., 1990) and leukemic T cells (Yoshida, et al., 1992). Another widely distributed flavonoid, apigenin, significantly induced a reversible G2/M arrest in keratinocyte, fibroblasts, and colonic carcinoma cell lines (Lepley et al., 1996; Lepley and Pelling, 1997; Wang et al., 2000)." - Erich Grotewold, The Science of Flavonoids (Get the book.)
