"Myth: Cell phones cause brain cancer. Large population studies have shown no evidence that cell phones cause any kind of cancer, including brain cancer. Cell-phone use today is much higher than it was a decade ago. If there were any truth to the cancer/cell-phone link, we would be seeing an increased incidence of brain cancers by now, but that hasn't happened. Experimental Treatments Really Work! Experimental cancer treatments are more beneficial than previously thought. Recent study: Approximately 11%—and in some cases, 27%—of the patients in Phase 1 cancer trials responded positively." - Bottom Line Health, Bottom Line's Health Breakthroughs 2007 (Get the book.)

"Brain cancer People born in colder seasons have greater brain cancer risk as children40"41 and as adults. Adults born in the months of January and February have especially high rates of brain cancer compared to those bom in July and August, which could be due to low vitamin D levels in pregnant mothers42 It has also been shown that low vitamin D levels in prenatal mother rats cause alterations in the brains of baby rats43 and reduce apoptosis and differentiation of cancer cells as those brains develop.44 Vitamin D also causes the death of brain-cancer cells taken from both humans and rats." - Marc Sorenson, Solar Power For Optimal Health (Get the book.)

"These cancers include leukemia and brain cancer. Approximately one-third of all childhood cancers are now leukemia, and incidence of brain tumors in children rose from 2.3 per 100,000 children to 3 per 100,000 children from 1975 to 1998. Leukemia and brain cancer combined now account for approximately half of all childhood cancers. Among the toxins most frequently linked to the rising incidence of these cancers are those found in pesticides and industrial chemicals. Currently, one in every 330 American children gets cancer. Approximately 25 percent of all children who get cancer die from it." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"The legalization of aspartame (Equal and NutraSweet), linked to a host of illnesses from impotency to brain cancer, has engendered many conspiracy theories. Donald Rumsfeld was the CEO of G. D. Searle & Company, manufacturer of aspartame, throughout the regulatory period that approved its use in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Thanks to his clout, aspartame finally entered the food stream in 1982. Dr." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"Also, an increased incidence of brain cancer and leukemia has been reported in children whose mothers were exposed to rrifrosamine carcinogens in nitrite-preserved meats during pregnancy. As opportunities for carcinogen exposure have increased since 1978, we've seen a striking 29 percent increase in the overall incidence of childhood cancers (3). Infants and young children, therefore, appear particularly susceptible to carcinogens, a fact that has been fully recognized for well over two decades." - 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.) "Childhood brain cancer has increased by 39 percent. • Testes cancer has increased by 32 percent. • Thyroid cancer has increased by 27 percent. • Post-menopausal breast cancer has increased by 24 percent. We're losing the winnable war against cancer. As I said in the introduction, nearly one in every two men and more than one in every three women will be struck by cancer in their lifetime. That amounts to about 1.3 million people annually in the U.S., a population equal to that of Phoenix, Arizona." - 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.)

"Perhaps the only condition that is worse than the uncontrolled death of brain cells is the uncontrolled growth of brain cells, as occurs in brain cancer. Introducing NGF into our brains could have the unintended consequence of causing tumors to form out of neural or other cells present in the brain, which possess NGF receptors. Researchers had attempted to add a tetracycline-responsive gene to the NGF virus that would serve as a switching-off mechanism and shut down production of NGF if it became excessive, but this technique has never worked well." - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.)

"Most recently, researchers at the Institute of Pharmacology at the University of Innsbruck, Austria, have used a patented extract of the root bark, called Krallendorn/Saventaro, for more than 10 years in the treatment of certain types of cancer, especially brain cancer. RESEARCH Significant clinical validation of the effectiveness of cat's claw in the treatment of cancer has been shown with the Krallendorn/Saventaro formula, manufactured to contain greater than 99 percent pentacyclic oxindole alkaloids, which have been clinically documented with anti-leukemic properties." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.) "Zoll's patients was a 14-year-old boy with brain cancer. He had been treated with an aggressive program of chemotherapy, and his blood counts had dropped precipitously. But when Dr. Zoll added RM-10 to his treatment regimen, "the boy's blood counts stabilized" within months, notes Dr. Zoll. With RM-10 as an adjuvant, his platelet count continued to improve even as he completed his chemotherapy. In fact, while being treated with aggressive chemotherapy and taking RM-10 as an adjuvant, his blood work looked like that of a person's not undergoing chemotherapy." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"It is as ludicrous as suggesting that using cell phones causes brain cancer or living near power lines causes leukemia. Social constructions pop up like weeds; ignore them and they seldom go away. Carey et al. (1995) and my other colleagues at unc published a study comparing costs of treating backache between chiropractors, primary-care physicians, and orthopedists. That study suggested that patients with regional back pain who were attended by chiropractors were more satisfied with their care, even though there was no differential in benefit." - Nortin M. Hadler MD, Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (Get the book.)

"This is particularly important as consumption of the closely related carcinogen diethylnitrosamine in nitrite-preserved bacon has been associated with up to four- and sevenfold increased risk of childhood brain cancer and leukemia respectively (6). As difficult as it might be to believe, mainstream manufacturers and regulatory authorities appear unaware of the high permeability of skin, or else simply choose to ignore this as a critical concern. (One Canadian manufacturer even labeled its cocoa butter product as "Fast Absorbing." - 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.)

"Well for one thing, one of those viruses, SV 40, is strongly implicated in brain cancer. • Jonas Salk testified before a Senate subcommittee that since 1961, except for a few importations from other countries, all cases of polio were caused by the Oral Polio Vaccine.2 • In 1986, the Federal Government set up a National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program to compensate vaccine-injured victims. To date, close to $1 billion has been paid out." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"That's four times the death rate from skin cancer; twice the number of deaths from brain cancer; two times the number of murders committed annually in the United States. More and more medicine wasn't necessarily helping the elderly; sometimes it was killing them. Fisher eventually showed that Medicare recipients were dying in high-cost regions largely because they were spending far more time in the hospital than people in lower-cost regions." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.)

"Researchers at the University of Chicago Medical Center say that 98 million Americans who took polio shots in the 1950s and 1960s may get a deadly brain cancer from the inoculations. Whether manufactured vaccines directly or indirectly cause cancer is irrelevant. It is important to know, however, that conventional immunization programs can prevent the body from developing a potentially life-saving healing crisis. All these different vaccines administered to millions of children and adults every year profoundly affect the body's ability to heal itself." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"I heard of a case from a raw food teacher of mine who knew of a couple whose child had brain cancer. They had to give up their jobs, leave their home, and go into hiding in order to be able to exercise their own health care choices for their child. The child was healed of cancer while on raw foods, but the parents lost everything in order to make that happen! A case in which a young boy died because he was denied alternative treatment is presented on the web site www.ouralexander.org/warl .htm. The medical mafia appears to own a patent on the word "cure." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"EMFs also may be linked to an increase in cancers, especially brain cancer. Could having a radio-frequency-emitting device (otherwise known as a cell phone) held up to your brain for hours a day have an impact? Do you want to wait twenty years to find out? We know that cell phone use does account for thousands of deaths every year from car accidents (because people don't pay attention to driving when they are on the phone). There are 1.6 billion cell-phone users worldwide, with the number growing every day. And over half of the children in developing countries use them." - Mark Hyman MD, The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First (Get the book.)

"Large population studies have shown no evidence that cell phones cause any kind of cancer, including brain cancer. Cell-phone use today is much higher than it was a decade ago. If there were any truth to the cancer/cell-phone link, we would be seeing an increased incidence of brain cancers by now, but that hasn't happened. Experimental Treatments Really Work!

"Leukemia and brain cancer combined now account for approximately half of all childhood cancers. Among the toxins most frequently linked to the rising incidence of these cancers are those found in pesticides and industrial chemicals. Currently, one in every 330 American children gets cancer. Approximately 25 percent of all children who get cancer die from it. Some cancers, including acute myeloid leukemia, have significantly lower survival rates. Diabetes Both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes are increasing in incidence among America's children." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"Should a drug company be able to distribute, via highly trained and restrained medical affairs people, studies showing that a drug for one approved purpose also "seemed" to help kids, with, say, stage-four brain cancer, an unapproved use? The average fellow would likely say yes." - Greg Critser, Generation Rx: How Prescription Drugs are Altering American Lives, Minds, and Bodies (Get the book.)

"Revici's most successful cases were patients with brain cancer. At a hospital in Germany, doctors carried out a clinical trial on the effect of selenium in 32 brain cancer patients. These men and women were no longer responding to conventional treatment. All had increased pressure inside their heads, a typical sign of brain cancer. Selenium levels were found to be abnormally low in 70 percent of these patients. All patients were given high-dose injections of selenium for up to eight weeks, in addition to some other non-conventional treatments." - Ralph Moss, PhD, Antioxidants Against Cancer: How to activate your bod natural healing powers with today's most protective and immune-boosting supplements and foods (Get the book.)

"Temodal for brain cancer, which has an 11.6-fold variation between health authorities.19 This means that for every patient that qualified for Mabthera in the most drug-abstemious authority, 2.6 did elsewhere. And where one patient gets to use Temodal in one area, more than 11 do elsewhere. If these drugs are as good as everyone says, that is reasonable cause for concern. Intriguingly, the report said funding was not the reason for the variation in take-up rates, which should anyway follow centralized clinical guidelines. Nor were variations in incidence of cancer to blame." - Jacky Law, Big Pharma: Exposing the Global Healthcare Agenda (Get the book.) "The emotional strings the case pulled were poignant, involving a two-year-old child fighting for her life against brain cancer. It was a battle that was eventually lost and everyone throughout the land felt for the parents who couldn't afford the growth hormone, somatostatin, thought to be MDB's key ingredient. Even if they could have afforded it, they wouldn't have found any. Newspapers, milking the story for all it was worth, had published maps of the local pharmacies, urging people to get their supplies in while they could." - Jacky Law, Big Pharma: Exposing the Global Healthcare Agenda (Get the book.)

"In the study, the likelihood that a child would develop brain cancer increased with the number of pets treated in the home. A survey run by the Missouri State Health Department found that 80 percent of polled women used some kind of pesticide while pregnant. One study found the risk of brain cancer was 2.9 times greater when the child was exposed through family use of a termite pesticide. Using fog bombs or roach control during pregnancy gave two times a higher risk of brain cancer. Children treated with anti-lice pesticide shampoo also had greater risk." - D. Lindsey Berkson, Hormone Deception (Get the book.)

"Especially alarming is the rapid rise of brain cancer mortality among those over sixty-five years old—a pattern mirrored throughout the industrialized world. The brain is a tricky site to be accurate about because, as with the lymph nodes, so many other types of cancers arrive there from other places. Breast cancer patients can have tumors inside their skulls, for example, but these are not brain cancers insofar as the tumors are derived from breast, and not brain, tissue. Medical imaging technology introduced in the 1980s profoundly altered the ways in which brain cancers are diagnosed." - Sandra Steingraber, Living Downstream (Get the book.)

"Rape (Canola) oil also causes emphysema, respiratory distress, anemia, irritability, brain cancer and blindness. The high temperatures used in canola refining and margarine production will damage many of the essential fatty acids, which are much more susceptible to damage by heat than saturated fats. As discussed earlier, heat is known to convert many of the unsaturated double bonds to the "trans fatty acid" configuration." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"The risk for intestinal bleeding from aspirin use can offset risk reduction for cancer, [journal American Medical Assn 294: 914-23, 2005] ¦ Furthermore, aspirin appears to increase the risk for bladder and brain cancer mortality among women. [Anticancer Research 24: 3177-84, 2004] ¦ Side effects from long-term aspirin use probably outnumber any tumor prevention benefits. Use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs resulted in 107,000 hospitalizations and 16,500 deaths in 1997 in the U.S. alone." - Bill Sardi, You Don't Have to be Afraid of Cancer Anymore (Get the book.)

"Children who ate hot dogs one or more times per week were also at higher risk of brain cancer. In addition, children who ate hot dogs and took no vitamins, which retard the formation of N-nitroso carcinogens, were more strongly associated with both acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) and brain cancer. (19) Sarusua and Savitz concluded: "The results linking hot dogs and brain tumors (replicating an earlier study) and the apparent synergism between no vitamins and meat consumption suggest a possible adverse effect of dietary nitrites and nitrosamines.(20) Peters, et al." - Mike Adams, Grocery Warning: How to recognize and avoid the groceries that cause cancer, diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and other common diseases (Get the book.)

"I had a son who was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer in 1991.1 did not want him to have chemotherapy and radiation so I took him to Mexico for alternative treatment. I was arrested and charged with child neglect and child abuse because I did not give my child chemotherapy and radiation. How insane. The charges were eventually dropped. My son never got chemotherapy or radiation and only used alternative natural treatments. My son is cancer free and currently lives in Austin, Texas. I believe the government does not want a cure for cancer." - Kevin Trudeau, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Get the book.)

"Virtually every type of cancer has been studied in a clinical trial, including brain cancer. Many of these trials have involved patients whose cancer has metastasized, or spread to other parts of the body. Vaccines are also being used in adjuvant settings—in a person who has had a tumor and has a high risk of a recurrence." - Bottom Line Health, Bottom Line's Health Breakthroughs 2007 (Get the book.)

"Sarusua and Savitz studied 234 childhood cancer cases in Denver and found a strong association between the consumption of hot dogs and brain cancer. Children born to mothers who consumed hot dogs one or more times per week during pregnancy had approximately double the risk of developing brain tumors. Children who ate hot dogs one or more times per week were also at higher risk of brain cancer. In addition, children who ate hot dogs and took no vitamins, which retard the formation of N-nitroso carcinogens, were more strongly associated with both acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) and brain cancer." - Samuel S. Epstein, M.D., The Politics of Cancer Revisited (Get the book.)
