"This evidence supports the idea that long-term vitamin D status may affect our risk for this cancer, according to Karen Collins, MS, RD, CDN, nutrition advisor for the American Institute for cancer research. In another large study, this time with Swedish men, calcium was found to be potentially protective for colon cancer. The men in the top half of calcium consumption were 27 to 32 percent less likely to develop colorectal cancer than the men in the bottom half.

"Vodovotz and co-researchers wrote in cancer research, "Tumor cells often produce abundant transforming growth betal (TGF-betal)..." Meanwhile, Dr. C. Li and co-investigators say in an article in the International Journal of Cancer that TGF-(3 plays a prominent role in tumor growth by enhancing angiogenesis and suppression of immune surveillance. The researchers went on to observe that in their study of 80 breast cancer patients, high levels of TGF-(5 were significantly elevated in women with positive lymph nodes compared to those without node metastasis." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"The Deutsche Krebsforschungszen-trum (German cancer research Center) in Heidelberg invited him to speak before fifteen of the world's leading cancer specialists during an eight-day conference on all aspects of cancer. The invitation to speak among such exclusive company was an incredible opportunity, and it increased his prestige on his university campus. He arrived in a brand new suit, the most elegant presence at the colloquium, but he was the poorest speaker, struggling with his English to make his voice heard." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"He imagined the questions the executives would ask about his cancer research and how he would deftly answer each one. The thirty-four-year-old scientist was almost giddy with excitement. The night before, he had rushed out to Milton's, a men's store offering rock-bottom prices, and splurged on the suit. He had no choice. When he learned that executives at Warner-Lambert wanted to fly him from his home in Boston to their corporate headquarters in New Jersey, he had panicked, remembering that not a single suit hung in his closet." - Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.) "The university then licensed the drug to Bristol-Myers, which for years promoted itself as a leading cancer research company through a partnership with the cycling champion Lance Armstrong. The cyclist beat back advanced testicular cancer at the age of twenty-five and went on to win the Tour de France, cyclings most prestigious race, seven times. Bristol-Myers paid money to Armstrong's cancer charity for a campaign in which he credited the company with saving his life." - Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.)

"At this time, guidelines from the American Cancer Society [181, 316] (summarized in Table 2) and the American Institute for cancer research [118] form the basis of current dietary recommendations, with encouragement toward more plant-based diets that promote healthy weight control serving as the underlying theme behind these recommendations.

"NIH spends on cancer research, only about 11% is for so-called prevention.35 The vast bulk of this money is spent on education for early detection, self-screening for breast cancer being one example. Unfortunately, as we show in chapter 2, this widely practiced screening (as well as most others) offers no advantage whatever in mortality—a surprising result but true nonetheless. Real prevention, cleaning the air and water, for example, or purifying the food supply, are not even part of the NIH mission." - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared?

"This is the result of a study by the German cancer research Center (Deutsches Krebsfor-schungszentrum, DKFZ) in Heidelberg and the University Hospitals of Hamburg-Eppendorf. Bone-building drugs also cause weight gain. Prednisone, cortisone, and other steroids used to treat dozens of conditions, including asthma, lupus, and cancer, frequently cause weight gain because they increase appetite and force the body to retain fluids." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"However, the focus of cancer research should not be on figuring out what kind of genetic mutation occurs (genes showing up as faulty), but on the changes in the body that lead up to it. To repeat, genes do not just change without a reason. They only do so if they are forced to mutate in response to adverse changes in the cell environment. Cancer—An Ingenious Rescue Mission So what kind of extreme situation could possibly coerce a healthy cell to abandon its original genetic design and stop using oxygen? The answer is strikingly simple: a lack of oxygen." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"In discussing current sugar/cancer research, Melanie Polk, director of nutritional education at the American Institute for cancer research, concludes: "The studies tell us that diet does [have an] impact on health. By choosing the right foods—staying away from refined sugar products—we can make ourselves healthier." "Bottom line," says Harvard's Dr. Willett, is that "greatly reducing or eliminating refined starches and sugar is one of most important steps you can take toward a better diet and long-term well-being." - Connie Bennett, C.H.H.C. with Stephen T.

"New research suggests that people with elevated blood sugar and CRP levels may be at especially high risk, says Karen Collins, MS, RD, CDN, nutrition advisor for the American Institute for cancer research. Knowing your LDL cholesterol evels is no longer enough. You need to know your CRP levels, too. Even if your LDL levels are in the safe range, you can have dangerously high CRP levels." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.) "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. In a nutshell, cancer comes down to this: DNA (the set of genetic instructions that tells body cells how to reproduce and grow) takes little punches over the years, eventually becoming so damaged that normal cell growth morphs, becoming uncontrolled and abnormal." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.) "According to the American Institute for cancer research (AICR), 60 to 70 percent of cancers can be collectively attributed to lifestyle choices, including smoking, unhealthy diets, lack of physical activity, and excessive weight. In addition, scientists now estimate that approximately 35 percent of all cancers are attributable to what we eat. With some types of cancer, that number is even higher. For example, some experts assert that up to 90 percent of colorectal cancer in the United States could be avoided by choosing the right foods." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.)

"Suhadolnik, a professor of biochemistry and a member of the university's Institute of cancer research and Molecular Biology, explains, "All CFS patients tested have a new enzyme, while none of the healthy controls do." This newly discovered enzyme is suspected to be inferior to the enzyme that people who do not suffer from CFS have. He feels this explains why CFS patients have a hard time maintaining the energy for cellular growth. Successfully treating CFS requires a comprehensive approach to identifying the underlying causative factors." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.)

"Almost the entire focus of our western cancer research programs is on eliminating the cancer, not the cause. The main cancer treatments of surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy are, in effect, options of cut, burn, or poison. Surgery cuts part of the body away. Radiation burns tissues. Chemotherapy, using chemicals such as mustard gas or warfarin (also used as rat poison), poisons the cells to kill them." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"Khanna presented his findings at the annual meeting of the American Association for cancer research in 2004. "We know that inflammation can be triggered in response to a number of factors including environmental, hormonal, and genetic, or infections," Khanna said. "However, research shows that when the condition becomes chronic, it can lead to a great many diseases, including cancers." In the study, Khanna and his colleagues looked at 14 samples of normal breast tissue and 14 tissue samples from patients with breast cancer." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"If you read the fine print on the American Association for cancer research Journal's article on pomegranate juice's effect on prostate cancer (which concludes that further study is necessary), you'll see that the study was financed by a grant from the Resnicks. Nutrition is a shifting field riddled with contradictions, misbeliefs and fantasies. Despite the unanimity among nutritionists that we need to eat a variety of fruits and vegetables daily, as well as exercise, most of us don't." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"Despite an enormous investment in cancer research, the age-adjusted death rate for cancer in the United States actually increased by 74 percent from the beginning to the end of the twentieth century. And by the end of the twentieth century, the age-adjusted death rate for cancer was the same as for tuberculosis at the beginning of the century: it had become the number one killer among people below of the age of 75. In 1971 Congress launched a war on cancer by passing the National Cancer Act." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

"Flaxseed is a relatively new contender in the health arena, but it shows a lot of promise in fighting disease—including a possible role in cancer prevention," notes the American Institute for cancer research, which sponsored the study. "Any reduction in the rate of growth is a good indicator," Dr. Thompson says. "If flaxseed produces the same effects as anti-estrogens such as tamoxifen, it has the potential for use in both breast cancer treatment and prevention." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.) "These results were amplified and expanded in the journal cancer research in 1987, when Japanese researchers from the Department of Pathology Yamagata University School of Medicine showed that when the beta-glucan molecule docks on the receptors of macrophages, it activates cellular genetic materials, leading to the release of powerful antitumor compounds.
