"Genistein produces cell cycle arrest at both Gl/S and G2/M phase in the human myelogenous leukemia HL60 cells and in the lymphocytic leukemia MOLT-4 cells (Traganos et al, 1992). Furthermore, it has been shown that genistein induced G2/M arrest through p21Wafl/Cipl up-regulation and apoptosis induction in a non-small-cell lung cancer cell lines (Lian et al., 1998). 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)." - Erich Grotewold, The Science of Flavonoids (Get the book.)

"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.)

"They concluded that there was an association between human and bovine leukemia, that there was a significant increase in the number of humans with acute lymphoid leukemia in areas with a high incidence of bovine leukemia. They suggested that there must be further investigation of this relationship. Very few people drink unpasteurized milk in high-tech societies. This will be a problem for countries that do not pasteurize their milk. Of all the possible connections between cancer and diet, the one most readily accepted by the cancer research agencies is the relationship to fat." - Abram Hoffer, PhD, MD, FRCP(C) and Dr. Jonathan Prousjy, DPHE, DSC, ND, FRSH, Naturopathic Nutrition: A Guide to Nutrient-rich Food & Nutritional Supplements for Optimum Health (Get the book.)

"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.)

"Cousens cites studies that show a correlation between an increased incidence of leukemia in cows and in children who drank these cows' milk. He also cites a study in which 100% of the chimpanzees drinking milk from leukemic cows for one year also developed leukemia themselves (Spiritual Nutrition, pp. 261-262)." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"Certain other cancers—brain tumors, leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and central nervous system malignancies—have grown at an even more rapid rate, about 30 percent over the last two decades. The National Cancer Institute estimates that these rates will continue to climb an additional 1 percent every year. And why? What's causing these increases? "In my professional opinion, and according to the National Cancer Institute," said Dr." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"In Denmark it was found that child leukemia was connected to the consumption of cow's milk taken from Danish cows that had leukemia. Twenty percent of the cows in Denmark have leukemia. The hypothesis is that a leukemia-inducing virus is transferred from cows, through their milk, to the children. The monkey leukemia infection suggests the same route of infection as the children of Denmark." - Gabriel Cousens, M.D., Conscious Eating (Get the book.)

"This treatment for a slow-acting form of leukemia (chronic myelogenous leukemia) specifcally blocks the body's production of an enzyme that causes white blood cells to become malignant. (Unfortunately it's priced at $25,000 per year of treatment.) The introduction of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) into clinical practice in the mid-1980s is rated, in a survey of well-respected primary care doctors, as the most important development in clinical medicine over the last 25 years." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

"Table 4-10 Viruses Inhibited by Melissa officinalis Newcastle disease Herpes simplex Mumps Vaccina virus Feline leukemia virus Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) Influenza virus Measles virus Acemannan in injectable form has been approved for veterinary use in fibrosarcomas and feline leukemia. Its action in feline leukemia is quite impressive. Feline leukemia, like AIDS, is caused by a retrovirus (Feline leukemia virus or FeDV). The virus is so lethal that once cats develop clinical symptoms, they are usually euthanized." - Joseph Nd Pizzorno, Total Wellness: Improve Your Health by Understanding and Cooperating with Your Body's Natural Healing Systems (Get the book.)

"CHAPTER FIFTEEN LOVE AND LOSS HUGO HAD ACUTE MYELOID leukemia, ONE OF THE MOST DEADLY forms of childhood cancer. Ron immediately arranged for him to be treated at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City. Sloan-Kettering uses a multidisciplinary approach and is generally considered to be among the best treatment centers in the world, particularly for childhood cancers. All I could do was wait, keep my heart open, and hope. THE OTHER CHILDHOOD EPIDEMICS The 4-A epidemics have not occurred in isolation." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"Currently, the National Cancer Institute states that exposure to benzene may increase the risk of developing leukemia. • Laundry Detergent and other household cleaners also contain chemicals that are suspected to be carcinogens. Trisodium nitriotriacetate (NTA) is found in many laundry soaps and is a suspected human carcinogen. Toilet bowl cleaners can contain ethoxylated nonyl phenols, which are suspected endocrine disrupters. Silica, which is present in abrasive powder cleaners, is a known carcinogen. • Phthalates are widely used to make plastics and in personal care products." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.) "Atomic bomb survivors in Japan have increased rates of leukemia and cancers of the breast, thyroid, lung, stomach and other organs, illustrating another example of how radiation causes cancer. In general, the breast, thyroid and bone marrow are most sensitive to the effects of ionizing radiation. Avoiding unnecessary medical X-rays is one of the best ways to reduce exposure to ionizing radiation. However, in many instances, the benefits of ionizing radiation as a tool for diagnosis of various diseases and as an effective way to treat some cancers outweigh the risks." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"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. Type I diabetes, the form of the disorder associated with an autoimmune attack upon the pancreas, which secretes insulin, appears to be increasing in children at a rate of approximately 30 percent per decade. About 13,000 American children are now annually diagnosed with the disease, which results in a decreased life expectancy of fifteen years." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"Numerous studies of exposure to the chemical benzene, one of the world's major commodity chemicals, have demonstrated a radically elevated risk of leukemia. Given the important role our immune systems play in keeping us healthy and disease free, clearly, when we weaken our immune systems, we weaken our ability to deal with our "body burdens" All of the steps in RENEW address the immune system either directly or indirectly, keeping it as strong and fully equipped as possible. AN END TO TOXIC STRESS Let's recap the big picture to bring this conversation to a conclusion." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"HOW DOES FUNDING FOR AUTISM COMPARE TO OTHER CHILDHOOD DISORDERS & DISEASES? ?Leukemia 1 in 25,000 Funding: $300 million ?Muscular Dystrophy 1 in 20,000 Funding: $160 million ?Cystic Fibrosis 1 in 5,000 Funding: $75 million ¦Juvenile Diabetes 1 in 500 Funding: $140 million ?Autism 1 in 150 Funding: $15 million (Dollar amounts reflect approximate annual funds raised by major private advocacy groups.) Note: it is important to note that there is no suggestion to place an importance on one disease over another." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"By studying the environmental exposures of one hundred thousand children throughout the country, the creators of the National Children's Study are determined to isolate the root cause of many common childhood conditions and disorders, including asthma, premature birth, birth defects, heart disease, leukemia, diabetes, autism, dyslexia, mental retardation, ADHD, and obesity." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.) "The radiation from electromagnetic fields given off by household appliances has been linked to leukemia in young children. Keep all but the absolutely necessary electronics out of the nursery. • Call an integrated pest management (IPM) specialist to ensure that your nursery is free of roaches and other pests that can trigger asthma and other childhood illnesses. Crib Shopping: The BFR Problem A crib is one of the first major purchases most of us make for our child—make sure you choose yours wisely. I recommend a crib constructed out of untreated wood, or wood with a natural finish." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"Atherosclerosis is the leading cause of death in Western countries; it is more common than all cancers and leukemia combined. What Factors Increase Your Blood Cholesterol? Diet, inactivity and genetic factors all contribute to high cholesterol. Consuming foods that are high in cholesterol and fat or eating too many carbohydrates can increase the body's concentration of cholesterol. Sedentary lifestyles have also been associated with higher cholesterol levels. Cholesterol metabolism is controlled by your DNA. A defect in LDL receptors is known to increase blood cholesterol." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"Besides pus cells and blood, which are now normal in milk produced during machine suckling, the milk is also high in pesticides, herbicides, antibiotics, hormones, radioactive iodine, and disease factors such as mad cow prion and bovine leukemia virus. In addition, research cited by Robert Cohen has made the point that there is up to a gallon of extra mucus in the body created as a result of drinking dairy. The mucus problem is associated with the fact that 87 percent of milk protein is casein, the main ingredient of Elmer's Glue." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Benzene, which can cause leukemia, and formaldehyde which can cause nasal and nasopharyngeal cancer. Formaldehyde is commonly used in the production of more complex chemicals such as polymers and resins. Resins are used in adhesives such as those found in plywood and carpeting. Formaldehyde is also used in sanitary paper products such as facial tissue, table napkins, and roll towels. Most insulation material, moulded products, and paints contain formaldehyde derivatives, too. Environmental/food toxins: Many babies are born toxic due to the toxic load of their mothers." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"Hodgkin lymphoma, and leukemia) and pesticide exposure." And if you think your children are somehow escaping exposure to these chemicals, think again. The Centers for Disease Control found residues of numerous pesticides in the bodies of 15 percent of the children tested. What's worse: the broken-down products of these organo-phosphate pesticides showed up in a jaw-dropping 98.7 percent of the kids tested. Do we really want our children coming into contact with these powerful toxins? I certainly don't." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"Every year approximately eight thousand children under age fifteen are diagnosed with a malignant disease, most frequently leukemia and brain tumors. Environmental exposure such as to ionizing radiation, hormones, and antineoplastic agents are accepted to be contributors to these diseases. At this writing it is estimated that about 1.4 million new cases of cancer will have been diagnosed in 2007. Cancers of the prostate and breast will be the most frequently diagnosed cancers in men and women, respectively, followed by lung and colorectal cancers both in men and in women." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"But when Terry learned she had leukemia and was facing months of aggressive chemotherapy and isolation from others to create a more sterile environment, she took a steep dive into the panic zone. "My first response was shock. Then came outright fear and hostility. I knew they were natural responses, but I also knew they wouldn't help me." Coincidentally, Terry had recently attended one of our seminars and had been particularly taken by the notion of assertively living Centralities and thought they might help her now." - 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.)

"Its action in feline leukemia is quite impressive. Feline leukemia, like AIDS, is caused by a retrovirus (Feline leukemia virus or FeDV). The virus is so lethal that once cats develop clinical symptoms, they are usually euthanized. Typically, over 70% of cats will die within eight weeks of the onset of clinical signs. In a study of 44 cats with clinically confirmed feline leukemia, acemannan was injected (2 mg/kg) weekly for six weeks, and the cats were re-examined six weeks after termination of treatment.144 At the end of the 12-week study, 71% of the cats were alive and in good health." - Joseph Nd Pizzorno, Total Wellness: Improve Your Health by Understanding and Cooperating with Your Body's Natural Healing Systems (Get the book.)

"A study conducted in Canada found that being obese (compared with having a normal body weight) increased the overall risk of developing cancer by 34 percent, with much larger risks for certain cancers: 95 percent for cancer of the ovary, 93 percent for cancer of the colon, 66 percent for breast cancer in postmenopausal women, and 61 percent for leukemia. The researchers calculated that obesity was responsible for 7.7 percent of all cancers in Canada." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.) "This drug, which had been used to treat leukemia since 1991, was being tested to see if it helped patients with autoimmune diseases. No more patients were enrolled in the study after the second death, but the study continued with the patients already enrolled for another nine months, and terminated only when five of the remaining 12 patients developed abnormalities in their blood tests. Dr. Stephen I. Katz was the director of the NIH's National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, which was conducting the study." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.) "There have been a few tremendous successes in this war, notably with some of the childhood cancers, testicular cancer, Hodgkin's disease, and leukemia. Notwithstanding the barrage of news about major breakthroughs in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, the overall death rate from cancer was exactly the same in the year 2000 as it had been in 1971, when "war" was declared." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.)
