"Consumption of foods contaminated with aflatoxin, such as peanuts, are also established causes of liver cancer. As the liver is the site of detoxification, carcinogens are metabolized there, making it a likely place for cancer development. Of note, most peanuts produced today have low levels of this toxin and pose a low risk to your health. To investigate whether probiotics may help prevent liver cancer, researchers from the University of Kuopio selected 90 male students from the Guangdong province in China where exposure to aflatoxin-contaminated food is common." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.) "The highest incidences of liver cancer disease are iiver cancer is the third most common cause found in East and Southeast of death from cancer. Asia, particularly China. Hepatitis B Virus Hepatitis B is a serious disease caused by a virus that attacks the liver. The virus, which is called hepatitis B virus, can cause lifelong infection, cirrhosis (scarring) of the liver, liver cancer, liver failure and death. About 3% to 6% of the v/orld's population is currently infected with the virus and up to one-third have been exposed." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"An intervention trial undertaken among over 130,000 residents of Qidong County in China, an area afflicted by high rates of hepatitis B infection and liver cancer, found that liver cancer incidence was reduced by thirty-five percent in selenium-supplemented residents during eight years of follow-up. After selenium was withdrawn from the treated populations, their liver cancer rates began to climb back to former levels." - Anthony Colpo, The Great Cholesterol Con: Why Everything You've been Told About Cholesterol, Diet and Heart Disease is Wrong (Get the book.)

"The virus, which is called hepatitis B virus, can cause lifelong infection, cirrhosis (scarring) of the liver, liver cancer, liver failure and death. About 3% to 6% of the v/orld's population is currently infected with the virus and up to one-third have been exposed. Symptoms of the acute illness caused by the virus include liver inflammation, vomiting and jaundice. Vaccines currently exist for this disease. Hepatitis B virus is endemic in China and Asia. i_____i Liver cancer can have many causes. The largest risk factor is thought to be chronic hepatitis B virus infection." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"For instance, even though our liver cells rejuvenate every six weeks, someone diagnosed with liver cancer in July may still have liver cancer in December. That puzzled researchers until they discovered that the DNA holds the codes to cancer. Although new cells are being created all the time, our cells will replicate with a flaw if we have a degenerative pattern in our DNA. It is the same with the emotional patterns encoded in our DNA. Our emotional heritage, inherited from our ancestors, contributes to the patterns, positive and negative, we see repeated over and over again in our lives." - Margaret Ruby, The DNA of Healing: A Five-Step Process for Total Wellness and Abundance (Get the book.)

"They found that the two compounds performed better together, offering greater protection against liver cancer, than either did alone. "If the effect of these two phytochemicals on activating the phase two enzymes was simply additive, we would have gotten two plus two equals four. But what we found was that two plus two equals more like six," says Dr. Wallig. The dose of the phytochemicals used in his animal study weren't comparable to amounts that would be reasonable in human diets, but the results suggest there is some potentially important synergy within broccoli." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.)

"The risk of esophageal and liver cancer was increased by between 20 and 60 percent. Higher meat intake also correlated with an increased risk or pancreatic cancer in men. In recent metaanalyses of colorectal cancer that included studies published up to 2005, summary associations indicated that red meat intakes were associated with 28%-35% increased risks while processed meats were associated with elevated risks of 20%-49%. The researchers indicated that one in 10 cases of lung or colorectal cancer could be averted by limiting red meat intake." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"The tumor regression or significant improvements were observed among 11 out of 15 breast cancer patients, 12 out of 18 lung cancer patients, and 7 out of 15 liver cancer patients. If taken with chemotherapy, these response rates improved by 12 to 28 percent. Maitake inhibits chemical carcinogenesis, that is, chemicals to which we are exposed to in our food, water, and air, or occupationally that can initiate the cancerous process. One study shows that maitake protects healthy cells from becoming cancerous." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"Cyprus to see if I could do something for his terminal liver cancer. During the following six months he dealt with and removed all the possible root causes of his cancer, and subsequently the liver tumor had shrunk from the size of an egg to a tiny speck. Some day, a former colleague of his convinced him to take one course of the latest and most powerful chemotherapy drug that had just been approved for treatment by the FDA. Dimitris became convinced that killing the last few cancer cells would guarantee the cancer would not return, and so he flew to the U.S. for treatment." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "Steroids cause just as many disorders as the conditions for which they are used, including liver cancer, heart disease, depression, hostility and aggression, eating disorders, stunted height, risk of HIV, acne, and dozens more. Tamoxifen is a popular drug now used to prevent breast cancer recurrence in women. The drug can cause weight gain of up to 25 pounds, enough to dramatically increase the risk of other cancers, heart disease, and diabetes." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"In a second clinical case, a 56-year-old female was diagnosed with stage III liver cancer with a serum bilirubin reading of 3.5 mg/dL, albumin of 2.8 g/dl, and prothrombin activation of only 48 percent. Her T-factor was 3 and N-factor was 1. Her M-factor, indicating remote metastasis, was 0. She received transcatheter arterial embolization in January 1994 and 10 milligrams of lipodol, 15 mg of adriamycin and 100 mg of cisplatin (CDDP) administered by injection. Next, 200 mg of 5-FU was orally administered for 60 consecutive days but no improvements were seen." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"COLON AND LIVER CANCER: Researchers at Cornell University found that strong-tasting onions—particularly New York bold, western yellow, and shallots—do a better job of inhibiting the growth of liver and colon cancer cells than do milder-tasting onions. PROSTATE CANCER: A U.S. researcher found that the strongest risk reduction factors for prostate cancer were onions, cereals and grains, beans, fruits, and vegetables. HEART HEALTH: Allyl sulfides, found in onions, decrease the tendency of blood clots to form, significantly lowering total LDL cholesterol levels." - David W.

"A study observing the effects of raspberry extracts on human liver cancer cells found that the more extract that was used, the less replication of cells occurred. DIABETES: Anthocyanins, powerful compounds found in raspberries, reduce blood glucose levels after starch-rich meals. OBESITY AND FATTY LIVER: A study using mice fed high-fat diets and varying amounts of raspberries discovered that raspberries helped prevent and improve fatty liver and also reduced obesity." - David W. Grotto, RD, LDN, 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life! (Get the book.) "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. (In comparison, phenols in green tea typically stay in one's system for only four to six hours.) Tips on Using Lemons SELECTION AND STORAGE: • Choose lemons that are bright yellow with smooth and glossy skin. • Lemons will last for a week or two at room temperature." - David W.

"To investigate whether probiotics may help prevent liver cancer, researchers from the University of Kuopio selected 90 male students from the Guangdong province in China where exposure to aflatoxin-contaminated food is common. The double-blind, placebo-controlled trial assigned either placebo or two probiotic capsules per day, each containing 50 billion colony-forming units of a mixture of Lactobacillus rhamnosus LC705 and Propionibacterium freudenreichii ssp. Shermanii. The administration of probiotics led to a statistically significant decrease in the level of carcinogens in the body." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"In individuals with both polymorphisms, none developed hepatocellular carcinoma, as opposed to other polymorphism combinations where anywhere from 16% to 32% of the individuals developed liver cancer [104]. In addition, consumption of a number of food items may influence the relationship between individual polymorphisms and health. Both aldehyde dehydrogenase-2 (ALDH2) and x-ray repair cross-complementing 1 (XRCC1) genes have surfaced as having a role in the response to dietary selenium." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.)

"CANCER: An extract of goji stopped the spread and encouraged death of liver cancer cells in a cell study. Another cell study showed that goji inhibited leukemia cancer cells, and a mouse study showed that goji enhanced the killing effect of radiation therapy. Tips on Using Goji Berries SELECTION AND STORAGE: • Goji can be purchased at Chinese supermarkets and herb shops and health food stores. • Goji berries are processed into a variety of other forms including juice, powdered, and dried. • Store in a cool, dry place." - David W.

"For example, in individuals who have extreme organ or gland deficiencies (pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer, liver cancer, gall bladder failure, or the like), animal-sourced enzymes seem to fortify the glands and organs in ways that the plant-based enzymes cannot. It is what we call the "law of similar," which is the basis of homeopathy. This theory states that even though the source is animal and not human, the body recognizes it as similar." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.)

"Liver Cancer The most common form of liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) has one of the largest variations globally of any major cancer. liver cancer is rare in the United States and in western Europe, but it is one of the most common cancers in Asia and parts of Africa. liver cancer is almost always lethal, therefore more preventive measures are required." - J. Robert Hatherill, Eat To Beat Cancer: A Research Scientist Explains How You and Your Family Can Avoid Up to 90% of All Cancers (Get the book.)

"Jaundiced eyes are often warning signs of serious liver disease, such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, or liver cancer. Yellow eyes can also signal pancreatic cancer, sickle cell anemia, and yellow fever, a tropical disease transmitted by a mosquito bite. Yellow eyes may signal Gilbert's syndrome, a hereditary form of jaundice, which affects up to 10% of Caucasians and does not usually cause medical problems. Indeed, other than high bilirubin levels, people with this syndrome have no other SPEAKING OF SIGNS When a man speaks the truth in the spirit of truth, his eye is as clear as the heavens." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph.

"Acholic stool can signal a number of serious liver diseases that involve blocked bile ducts, such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, and liver cancer. Other possible signs of a blocked bile duct include dark yellow or brown urine (see Tea-Colored Pee, below), yellow (jaundiced) eyes and skin, itching, and occasional pain. SIGN OF THE TIMES A common type of German toilet, the Flachspueler, literally meaning "flat flushing," is designed to facilitate stool studying. The toilet's flat surface catches the poop before it plops into the bowl." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph.

"OCPs increase the risk of liver cancer, but this risk is rare. OCPs increase the risk of breast cancer by 10% to 20%. In women of childbearing age, breast cancer is rare, and any increased risk is eliminated after OCPs are stopped. In addition, the types of breast cancers that develop in women on OCPs respond better to treatment; therefore the overall risk from breast cancer is not increased. OCPs reduce the risks of ovarian and uterine (endometrial) cancers." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)

"James Klaunig from the Indiana University School of Medicine in Indianapolis suggests that green tea extract may show some promise in the prevention of liver cancer. He found that liver cells of treated mice have less free radical damage, improved gap junction communication, and healthier DNA replication, three conditions that contribute to a lesser risk of liver cancer, even in the face of carcinogens that target the liver.16 PANCREATIC CANCER Although many more people are stricken with cancers of the lung, colon, and breast, pancreatic cancer is a major killer." - Lester A.

"Newborns certainly don't fall into those risk groups and children almost never suffer from a hepatitis B infection or liver cancer. Since the vaccine protects a child only for a few years, by the time he could possibly develop liver cancer, the vaccine would have already stopped providing any benefits. Obviously this extremely poisonous childhood vaccine is absolutely unnecessary. The documented evidence against the value of immunization is so comprehensive that in 1986 the American Congress passed federal legislation to compensate children for damages arising from vaccination." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"After 8 years, there was a reduction in primary liver cancer incidence by over 3 5 percent. Once the selenium-enriched table salt was withdrawn, the incidence of liver cancer began to rise again. However, the inhibition of hepatitis B was sustained during this withdrawal period. People who have positive blood markers for hepatitis B are at a high risk of liver cancer. In each group, there were 113 people with such markers. In the placebo group, seven of these progressed to liver cancer, whereas none of those in the selenium supplement group did so." - 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.)

"Perillyl alcohol inhibits tumor growth in animal models of pancreatic, stomach, colon, skin, and liver cancer. It's so promising that the Cleveland Clinic Taussig Cancer Center is currently running a multiple-dose trial of perillyl alcohol on healthy women who have a history of breast cancer. Cherry juice is another way to get the gout-relieving benefits of cherries. In my book The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth, I shared one of my favorite desserts: frozen cherries.
