"Cigarette smoking alone is directly responsible for approximately 30% of all cancer deaths annually in the United States. Why does cigarette smoke cause cancer? Tobacco smoke contains thousands of chemical agents, including over 60 substances that are known to cause cancer. Just to list a few, cigarettes include carbon monoxide, tar, arsenic and lead. In 2006, researchers from the University of Florida discovered that cigarette smoke can turn normal breast cells cancerous by blocking their ability to repair themselves, eventually causing tumor development." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"Thirty-five percent of all cancer deaths may be related to a lack of activity and/or to being overweight, according to one study. Overweight people also frequently struggle with elevated levels of the hormone insulin, which can not only make you fat, but can raise blood pressure and even promote the growth of tumors. If you're already diabetic, exercise may lower your requirement for insulin and help you manage blood sugar naturally." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.)

"The controversy looks almost Swiftian when we consider that even under the most optimistic assumptions, mammography still cannot prevent the vast majority of breast cancer deaths." This editorial concluded: There will come a time when all the study patients have been followed up, all the analyses have been done, all the expert groups have met, and all the editorials have been written, and we still won't be sure how much benefit and how much harm are caused by mammography.48 In this book, we are using mortality as an indicator of effectiveness." - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.)

"If early diagnosis of prostate cancer really worked, then the mortality rate, or prostate cancer deaths per one hundred thousand in the population, should go down, as more and more men are screened.* There has been a slight drop in the death rate from prostate cancer in recent years, but many cancer epidemiologists and doctors argue that there is little evidence that the PSA test is responsible. That's because tumors come in many types, only some of which are aggressive enough to threaten the patient's life." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.)

"NCI's budgetary allocation for prevention of occupational cancer, the most avoidable of all cancers and conservatively estimated to be responsible for about 10 percent of all U.S. cancer deaths in adults and children, is about 1 percent ( 5). The budget for research on and outreach to African-Americans and other ethnic minorities, with their disproportionately high cancer rates, is also about 1 percent of NCI's budget; allocations for all primary prevention activities are well under 5 percent of its total budget." - 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.)

"Cigarette smoking accounts for 30% of all cancer deaths in this country and is the cause of cancers of the throat, lung, larynx, and esophagus, and contributes to some types of leukemia, and also to cancer of the colon, rectum, kidney, stomach, cervix, liver, uterus, and more. About 87% of lung cancer deaths are caused by smoking, and lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer among men and women. If this isn't bad enough, smoking is the major cause of strokes, heart disease, and bronchitis." - Gregory, A. Gore, Defeat Cancer (Get the book.)

"Cervical cancer presently ranks third in cancer deaths of American women, although it remains the leading cause of death from cancer among women in developing countries who do not enjoy the same access to diagnosis and early treatment.1 In the United States, approximately 9,710 cases of cervical cancer were diagnosed in 2006 and about 3,700 women died from it. Worldwide, human papilloma infection causes almost 500,000 cases of cervical cancer and 280,000 deaths each year." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"With more than 550,000 annual cancer deaths in the United States alone, the justification for mandatory immunization programs in this country is highly questionable. The standard approach to establishing immunity, which is unproved and unscientific, may undermine and override the body's own far superior programs of self-immunization. The body gains natural immunity through exposure to pathogens and, occasionally, a healing crisis, which naturally eliminates cancer-producing toxins. Vaccines, on the other hand, suppress natural immunity and replace it with artificial, fake immunity." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"In fact, it's the fifth-leading cause of cancer deaths among women. Although highly curable if it is found early and confined to the ovary, ovarian cancer is often not diagnosed until it has advanced and even spread to other parts of the body." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph. D., and Jacqueline Nardi Egan, Body Signs: From Warning Signs to False Alarms...How to Be Your Own Diagnostic Detective (Get the book.)

"One-quarter of the 600,000 cancer deaths are from lung cancer. About 10 percent are from colorectal cancer, followed closely by death from prostate and breast cancer. This chapter considers whether a well person is well advised to go to lengths to be spared the fate of death by colorectal cancer. There are options that will decrease the likelihood of acquiring colorectal cancer in the first place. There are options that will decrease the likelihood of dying from colon cancer. However, the very existence of these options does not mandate their choosing." - Nortin M. Hadler MD, Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (Get the book.) "Pravachol did not increase cancer deaths, either. And... Pravachol did not protect one from suffering a definite fatal myocardial infarction! The difference between the percent who suffered a fatal myocardial infarction on placebo and on Pravachol is 1.7 percent-1.2 percent = 0.5 percent. That difference is not statistically significant, nor is it clinically meaningful. When the investigators shifted ten deaths out of the "Noncardiovascular death" category into the "Deaths by heart attack" category because these ten might have died from a heart attack, the difference is 1.9-1.3 = 0.6 percent." - Nortin M. Hadler MD, Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (Get the book.) "These cancer deaths, and incident cancers that were not (yet) fatal, distributed equally between the mammography group and the usual care group. 2. After thirteen years of follow-up of the almost 40,000 women that were fifty to fifty-nine at inception of the cohort, 622 invasive and 71 in situ cancers had been detected in the group afforded mammography as opposed to 610 and 16 in the group screened without mammography. There were 107 deaths from breast cancer among the women subjected to mammographic screening and 105 among the women not so screened. 3. Based on these data, several ?" - Nortin M. Hadler MD, Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (Get the book.)

"In 2007, an estimated 2030 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer, and 450 men will die of this disease [1], accounting for less than 1% of all malignancies and cancer deaths in men. Although male breast cancer is uncommon, men tend to have a less favorable outcome than women. Advanced stage at diagnosis is largely responsible for these gender differences, given that over 40% of these patients present with stage III or IV disease [5]. However, anatomical differences between male and female breasts also may contribute to the more aggressive clinical behavior of mammary carcinoma in men [4]." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.) "Dietary Fat Ecological studies have reported that fat in diets varies directly with rates of colon cancer deaths [6]. Whereas many early case-control and cohort studies detected an increased risk of colon cancer with increasing intake of dietary fat [4], more recent cohort [10], large case-control [11], and a pooled analysis of 13 case-control studies [12] have failed to find an association between dietary fat and colon cancer or even reported an inverse association [13]." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.)

"However, more of the sixty-six breast cancer deaths that were the fate of women in the control group would have already occurred, whereas more of the sixty-three deaths that were to carry away women in the screened group have yet to occur. If I am generous, and I grant Miettinen all the assumptions he has taken, I am still left with the impression that this is an outcome that hardly justifies all the screening, let alone all the unnecessary aggressive treatment. We need to relegate mammography as practiced to the archives." - Nortin M. Hadler MD, Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (Get the book.)

"One-third of the 500,000 cancer deaths in the United States each year can be attributed to poor diet and lack of exercise. / 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." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.)

"Gotzsche's team discovered that a large number of breast cancer deaths in the original data had "somehow" been left out of the final report. The Gotzsche study was originally published last in an online edition of the European Journal of Cancer (EJC). Three weeks later, the study vanished from their web site. Apparently, EJC editors removed his study because they received complaints from pro-mammogram doctors. To suggest mammography to be a diagnostic tool for detecting pre-symptomatic stages of cancer is deceptive and dubious." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"In a double-blind trial studying smokers, vitamin E supplementation (50 IU of vitamin E per day for an average of six years) led to a 32% decrease in prostate cancer incidence and a 41% decrease in prostate cancer deaths.60 Both findings were statistically significant.61 The effects of vitamin E have yet to be studied in men already diagnosed with prostate cancer. Vitamin D (page 607) Where sun exposure is low, the rate of prostate cancer has been reported to be high.62 In the body, vitamin D is changed into a hormone with grear activity." - Alan R.

"Men age 50- to 69 years who took 50 milligrams (100 IU) of a synthetic form of vitamin E (dl-alpha-tocoph-erol), for 5 to 8 years, had 32 percent fewer diagnoses Two families of vitamin E molecules Tocopherols J gamma Tocotrienols of prostate cancer and 41 percent fewer prostate cancer deaths compared to men who did not receive vitamin E. In hard numbers, the incidence of prostate cancer declined from about 1.4% to 0.9% by the 8th year of the study. This means about 1." - Bill Sardi, You Don't Have to be Afraid of Cancer Anymore (Get the book.)

"Although no decrease in skin cancers occurred, a dramatic 50% reduction in overall cancer deaths and a 37% reduction in total cancer incidence were observed. A statistically significant 63% decrease in prostate cancer incidence was reported.48 Lyeopene (page 548) In a preliminary trial, 26 men with prostate cancer were randomly assigned to receive lyeopene (15 mg twice a day) or no lyeopene for three weeks before undergoing prostate surgery. Prostate tissue was then obtained during surgery and examined." - Alan R. Gaby, M.D., Jonathan V. Wright, M.D., Forrest Batz, Pharm.D. Rick Chester, RPh., N.D., DipLAc.

"Very few people know that not getting enough sun kills 50,000 people from cancer deaths every year in the U.S. alone. As shown later, these are deaths that are easily preventable through the Vitamin D produced by the body in response to regular sun exposure. Unfortunately, it is the ultraviolet portion of sunlight that is the most easily eliminated by windows, houses, spectacles, sunglasses, sun lotions, and clothing. Before antibiotic drugs were discovered in the 1930s—penicillin having been the first one—the healing power of sunlight was favored by the medical community, at least in Europe." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"Although no decrease in skin cancers occurred, a 50% reduction in overall cancer deaths and a 37% reduction in total cancer incidence was observed. A 46% decrease in lung cancer incidence and a 53% drop in deaths from lung cancer also occurred. These findings were all statistically significant. Vitamin E (page 609) Relatively high blood levels54,55 and dietary levels56 of vitamin E have been associated with a reduced risk of lung cancer." - Alan R. Gaby, M.D., Jonathan V.

"According to the Forbes Magazine report, the best approaches to improving cancer survival are to prevent DNA mutations that initiate cancer and to halt the spread of cancer (metastasis) that is responsible for over 90% of cancer deaths. Drs. Linus Pauling and Matthias Rath have long contended that maintenance of the connective tissue and collagen prevents the spread of cancer. Nutrients like folic acid and IP6 rice bran extract are required to repair broken DNA strands, but go unused for this purpose." - Bill Sardi, You Don't Have to be Afraid of Cancer Anymore (Get the book.)

"Melanomas, which account for 75 percent of all skin cancer deaths, make up only 5 percent of all reported skin cancers. The most striking fact about this lethal form of cancer is that it can occur in parts of the body that are not necessarily exposed to the sun such as the eye, the rectum, vulva, vagina, mouth, respiratory tract, GI tract and urinary bladder. Overall, since the beginning of the new millennium, each year one million Americans are being diagnosed with some form of skin cancer." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"Cancer 94: 1 867-75, 2002] Another researcher estimates 30,000 US cancer deaths could be averted by moderate sunning.

"Although no decrease in skin cancers occurred, a dramatic 50% reduc-tion in overall cancer deaths and a 37% reduction in total cancer incidence were observed. A statistically significant 58% decrease in cancers of the colon and rectum was reported. Little is known about the effects of selenium (page 584) in the treatment of people with existing cancer. Selenium supplementation was reported to improve immune function (page 255) in colon cancer patients,85 but no long-term follow-up was done to evaluate whether these patients ultimately lived longer or fared better." - Alan R.

"They concluded that smoking was the single most important preventable cause of cancer deaths up to that time. Excepting what was caused by smoking and perhaps diet, as well as pesticides in some small populations, they assured the Congress there was no increase in cancer. I was confused. Lilienfeld had taught me that the incidence of cancer—the rate of new cases of the disease—was the most important indicator of factors affecting the disease. Incidence also was the best predictor of future demands for medical care." - Devra Davis, The Secret History of the War on Cancer (Get the book.)
