"In cancer testing, the National Cancer Institute found this compound caused stomach cancer, vascularized cancers of multiple organs, and cancers beneath the skin in male rats. Female rats exposed to EDC developed mammary cancers—in some high-dose animals as early as the twentieth week of the study. The chemical also caused breast cancers as well as uterine cancers in female mice and respiratory tract cancers in both sexes. ETHYLENE DIOLEAMIDE • See Fatty Acids. ETHYLENE DISTEARAMIDE • See Fatty Acids ETHYLENE GLYCOL • A slightly viscous liquid with a sweet taste." - Ruth Winter, M.S., A Consumer's Dictionary of Cosmetic Ingredients (Get the book.)

"Epstein-Barr virus, in addition to being a culprit in lupus and multiple sclerosis, is now fingered in certain cancers such as Burkitt's lymphoma and nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Hepatitis B is thought to be associated with an increased risk of some liver cancers. Even some psychiatric conditions, such as schizophrenia and certain types of obsessive-compulsive disorder, are believed to be directly or indirectly the result of infections. And scientists are now finding tentative links between viral infections and obesity as well." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"The trial showed the following results: The men taking vitamin E had fewer lung cancers, but the results were not significant statistically. The men taking beta carotene had 18 percent more lung cancers, which was statistically significant. The men taking vitamin E had 34 percent fewer prostate cancers and 15 percent fewer colorectal cancers. The men taking beta carotene had slightly more cases of cancer (other than lung cancer), but that was not statistically significant. The researchers could not find a reason why smokers taking beta carotene were observed to have more cancers." - Stephen T., M.D. Sinatra, Optimum Health - A Cardiologist's Prescription for Optimum Health (Get the book.)

"Obviously, something other than mutated genes is causing the cancer in the majority of people with colon cancers. What is causing the vast majority of cancers and other diseases? One clue comes from the National Institutes of Health. On their Human Genome Project website, they report that environmental factors may be the single most important trigger in whether a genetic mutation is expressed or not: "Scientists estimate that each of us carries between 5 and 50 [gene] mutations that carry some risk for disease or disability." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.)

"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.)

"One in eight skin cancers heals spontaneously, as does nearly one in five genitourinary cancers. Virtually all types of illnesses, including diabetes, Addison's disease, and atherosclerosis, where vital organs or body parts are supposedly irretrievably damaged, have spontaneously healed.69 A small body of research concerns terminal cancer patients, who with little or no medical intervention end up beating the odds." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"In hormone-dependent cancers, a tumor requires hormones, specifically estrogen, in order to grow. The medical term for such tumors is estrogen receptor-positive.) In men, estrogen dominance has been linked to an increased risk of hormone-dependent prostate cancer. An increasing number of studies link exposure to environmental estrogens to an increased risk of cancer." - C. W. Randolph, M.D., From Belly Fat to Belly FLAT: How Your Hormones Are Adding Inches to Your Waistline and Subtracting Years from Your Life (Get the book.)

"BEYOND SURVIVING, TO THRIVING Ba Tham's deep Appreciation is similar to some of the people we've worked with in support groups for people who've been treated for aggressive cancers. Particularly illustrative is the experience of survivors one year out from treatment. The true thrivers, the ones who aggressively Recast their illness and forge ahead with exuberance, seem to gravitate in two healthy directions. First, they become Options masters and decide to open up their life to a bounty of adventure. Second, they become mega-appreciative of being alive." - 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.)

"Cancer of the lung leads all other cancers in causing death in the United States. Routine radiography increases early detection, but there is no evidence that screening reduces mortality. The 1996 Task Force does not recommend (the lowest grade, "D") screening. They also assign sputum cytology a grade of "D." The entire chapter on lung cancer screening is but three pages in length (about one-quarter the length of other chapters) and offers a grim assessment for lung cancer screening." - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.)

"The consumption of these bacteria is beneficial for boosting the immune system, enhancing intestinal tract health, lessening the symptoms of lactose intolerance, and reducing the risk of certain cancers. Home Remedies Eating yogurt that contains live cultures of Lactobacillus acidophilus on a daily basis will introduce good bacteria and help treat a yeast infection. Throw Me a Lifesaver! ARTHRITIS: A rat study found that arthritic rats fed yogurt containing Lactobacillus GG bacteria had only mild inflammation." - David W. Grotto, RD, LDN, 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life! (Get the book.) "CANCER: There are over three hundred studies investigating the health benefits of sulphur-containing compounds such as sulforaphane glucosinolates, found in broccoli and, to a much greater extent, broccoli sprouts, in fighting breast and prostate cancers. Studies have shown that sulforaphane stopped the growth of breast and prostate cancer cells. The growth of thyroid and goiter cancer cells slowed when they were treated with sulphur-containing substances in broccoli called indole-3-carbinol and diindolylmethane (DIM). ULCERS: Sulforaphane in broccoli may prevent the growth of H." - David W. Grotto, RD, LDN, 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life! (Get the book.) "CANCER: In laboratory tests, citrus limonoids have been shown to fight cancers of the mouth, skin, lung, breast, stomach, and colon, and human neuroblastoma tumors, which occur most often in children. Next to cranberries, lemons exerted the highest antiproliferation activities on in vitro human liver cancer cells. Because of limonoids' ability to stay in the bloodstream for an extended period of time, researchers believe that they may be better suited for supressing cancer cell growth than other nutrients." - David W. Grotto, RD, LDN, 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life! (Get the book.) "They are one of the few vegetables that are rich in both protein and fiber, including both soluble and insoluble fiber to promote regularity, control cholesterol, and reduce the risk of certain cancers. Beans are an excellent source of potassium, folate, and magnesium, and are also a good source of manganese, molybdenum, and the B vitamin thiamine. Darker beans like black beans are as rich in antioxidant compounds called antho-cyanins as grapes and cranberries. In fact, four out of the twenty top antioxidant-containing foods are beans." - David W. Grotto, RD, LDN, 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life! (Get the book.)

"Bloating can also be an early—and sometimes the only—warning sign of ovarian cancer, the deadliest and one of the most underdiagnosed cancers in women. The prognosis is good if diagnosed early. Unfortunately, most cases—80%—aren't caught early enough to save a woman's life. WARNING SIGN The signs of ovarian cancer are so vague they're often ignored or confused with other, less serious conditions." - 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.)

"In the late nineties, Roy Hertz, then director of endocrinology at the National Cancer Institute and a leading authority on hormonal cancers, warned of the carcinogenic risks of estrogenic additives, which can cause imbalances in natural hormone levels. Pesticides and plastics. Chemical pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides are routinely applied to mass-produced fruits and vegetables. In addition, most people routinely use bug sprays, weed killers, and other pesticides in their homes and yards." - C. W. Randolph, M.D., From Belly Fat to Belly FLAT: How Your Hormones Are Adding Inches to Your Waistline and Subtracting Years from Your Life (Get the book.) "The role of hormone balance in the development and prevention of hormone-dependent cancers is still a subject of much controversy in the conventional medical community. More research is definitely needed in this area; however, in more than a decade of treating thousands of women suffering from hormone imbalances, I have only had two patients who were later diagnosed with breast cancer. This is far below the national average." - C. W. Randolph, M.D., From Belly Fat to Belly FLAT: How Your Hormones Are Adding Inches to Your Waistline and Subtracting Years from Your Life (Get the book.)

"Berries, broccoli, spinach, and tomatoes all provide antioxidants that are closely associated with preventing cardiovascular disease, diabetes, certain cancers, and degenerative eye diseases like cataracts and macular degeneration. Moreover, as we face an epidemic of cognitive decline and impairment among the aging populations, berries in particular, have been shown to lessen the risk of these dreaded conditions related to the brain and cognition." - Wendy Bazilian, DRPH, MA, RD, Steven Pratt, MD, Kathy Matthews, Superfoods Rx Diet: Lose Weight with the Power of SuperNutrients (Get the book.)

"According to a 2002 study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, the much (and, in our view, appropriately) maligned PSA test misses four of five cancers in men under age sixty, and almost two-thirds in men over that age.27 "Men are now on notice," according to the New York Times: " 'passing' the prostate screening test is no guarantee that they are cancer free."28 False positives are an issue. Every medical test, including those for screening, also has the problem of false positives—abnormal result in a normal patient. Once again, the ECG is a good example." - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.) "A large proportion of cancers detected by PSA may be so-called indolent tumors, ones that are unlikely to produce clinical symptoms or affect survival. In other words, such tumors may be there, but do nothing that would reduce life expectancy. How does one know if his tumor is indolent or aggressive? How does one make what could be life or death decisions? Perhaps a strategy of so-called watchful waiting is wise, though such (non)action produces considerable and possibly long-term stress with potential negative health consequences." - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.)

"The benefits of a probiotically optimized intestinal tract include: • Lowered cholesterol • Inhibition of cancer 'Antibiotics (both medicinal and in our food supply) are the #1 culprit in the overgrowth of harmful pathogens in the gastrointestinal tract (a condition called dysbiosis) that may be at the root of many autoimmune disorders and certain cancers." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"Research has shown that it has a positive influence on cardiovascular health, can help prevent certain cancers, and is even protective against risk of stroke. But the compelling news about vitamin C for SuperFoodsRx dieters is the suggestion from a handful of studies that this nutrient may actually play a role in promoting weight loss. One large study found a relationship between vitamin C status and fat distribution. This study, reported in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, found that blood levels of vitamin C were negatively associated with body fat distribution." - Wendy Bazilian, DRPH, MA, RD, Steven Pratt, MD, Kathy Matthews, Superfoods Rx Diet: Lose Weight with the Power of SuperNutrients (Get the book.) "We have an impressive body of research demonstrating that regular consumption of nuts can reduce your risk of developing coronary heart disease as well as diabetes, certain cancers, and other chronic ailments. Regular nut consumption has also been associated with a reduction of all causes of mortality.29 But now we get to the question that's probably on your mind. How can we recommend nuts on a diet that's geared for weight reduction? It does seem counterintuitive." - Wendy Bazilian, DRPH, MA, RD, Steven Pratt, MD, Kathy Matthews, Superfoods Rx Diet: Lose Weight with the Power of SuperNutrients (Get the book.) "Tomatoes, a featured actor of the health-promoting Mediterranean diet, have demonstrated health benefits, particularly in relation to certain types of cancers as well as heart disease. For those reasons alone these SuperFoods would be critical additions to anyone's diet. Given all these positive attributes, and the fact that these four foods are all widely available and delicious, it's easy to see why anyone would be eager to incorporate them into his or her regular diet." - Wendy Bazilian, DRPH, MA, RD, Steven Pratt, MD, Kathy Matthews, Superfoods Rx Diet: Lose Weight with the Power of SuperNutrients (Get the book.)

"While such cancers are rare, men between the ages of 60 and 70 are at the greatest risk. Interestingly, 20% of men with breast cancer have a close female relative who's had it. LUMPY BREASTS Many women notice lumpy breasts at certain times during their menstrual cycle as well as when they go through menopause. Some lumps in lumpy breasts can be precancerous. Usually, however, having lots of lumps (diffuse lumpiness) in the breast is more likely to signal a very common benign condition called fibrocystic breast disease—or, more accurately, fibrocystic changes." - 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.)

"Using bioidentical estrogen and progesterone in individualized doses, while monitoring hormone metabolites, is safe and may actually lower breast cancer risks as well as the risks of bone disease, dementia, heart disease, and other cancers. These treatments have spared my patients and me from many of the agonies of perimenopause and menopause, and I know they can do the same for you. I will also explain the results of the WHI study and other mega-studies that have added confusion to the debate about using hormones." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.)

"As we age, we are more susceptible to infections and cancers partly because we have less red marrow, and hence fewer immune cells, and more yellow marrow. However, when we have an infection, yellow marrow can be converted to red marrow to increase the number of immune cells available to combat the infection. Yellow marrow is an energy-storage tissue because it is composed mainly of fats. During extreme conditions, such as a period of starvation, the body can use yellow marrow as a source of energy and fuel." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.)

"There has been an increase in incidence since the introduction of PSA testing, but according to most experts, it does not appear to be due to more cancers, just more detection. most common method of treating the disease. A prostatectomy is a delicate surgical procedure that often renders patients impotent, incontinent, or both, even in the hands of the most accomplished surgeon. In a study of patients at Harvard University hospitals, the majority of men were impotent a year after their surgery and still wearing adult diapers." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.) "On the flip side, many dangerous prostate cancers can't be cured with current treatments, no matter how early they're caught. Unfortunately, radiologists and pathologists can't tell with much certainty how aggressive a particular tumor is going to be. In the face of this uncertainty, doctors feel they must err on the side of caution and treat practically every tiny prostate tumor they detect as if it were potentially deadly, in the hope of curing at least a few." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.) "They looked at survival at eighteen months, which was standard for blood cancers. When they found no evidence of breast cancer, they assumed their patients were cured. Henderson warned his colleagues against accepting high-dose chemo as an article of faith. By the time he left the Dana-Farber in 1992, to head the division of oncology at UCSF, Henderson had already gained a reputation as a critic. Many of his colleagues scorned him, calling him a naysayer and snubbing him at medical meetings. High-dose chemo had become a medical juggernaut, and nobody wanted to hear that it might not work." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.)
