"Beta-carotene, the phytochemical supplement once thought to reduce the risk of cancer, was found to actually increase the risk of lung cancer in smokers. The results from large, controlled trials of beta-carotene supplementation provide striking evidence of adverse effects in smokers (more lung cancer than expected, as well as overall mortality). But the harm may be in taking large amounts of beta-carotene all by itself, via supplements; numerous past studies indicated that people who eat the most vegetables and fruit and foods rich in carotenoids have the lowest risk of lung cancer." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.)

"The raw vegan dieters also lost 9% of their body weight. 22. lung cancer Risk Reduced on Raw Food A study published in the Japanese Journal of Cancer Research (June 1993, PubMed ID 8340248) showed that the odds of incurring lung cancer among smokers and former smokers are reduced with raw vegetable and fruit consumption. The study was entitled "Protective effects of raw vegetables and fruit against lung cancer among smokers and ex-smokers: a case-control study in the Tokai area of Japan." 23. Raw Diet Is Best Vegetarian Diet for Mice Dr." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"Among men, the top three cancer diagnoses are expected to be prostate cancer (180,400 cases), lung cancer (89,500 cases), and colorectal cancer (63,600 cases). The leading types of cancer among women are breast cancer (182,800 cases), lung cancer (74,600 cases), and colorectal cancer (66,600 cases). In addition, there are tens of thousands of underprivileged people who have cancer, but will not even receive a diagnosis because they cannot afford health insurance or a visit to the doctor." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"For lung cancer, we found an extensive relationship with smoking, which is no surprise, although most Adventists are past smokers if they smoked at all. We naturally have a large percentage of Adventists who never smoked, and when we looked at them, the ones who ate two or more servings of fruit per day had about 70 percent fewer lung cancers than those nonsmokers who ate fruit only once or twice a week." "Tell him about water," Butler prompted. "Right," Fraser said. "My personal view is that this is a potentially very interesting—although overall still tentative—finding." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.)

"LUNG CANCER A study by Curtis Mettlin, funded by the American Cancer Society and cited in the International Journal of Cancer, April 15, 1989, showed that people drinking three or more glasses of whole milk a day had a twofold increase in lung cancer.42 BREAST AND PROSTATE CANCERS The journal Cancer in 1989 reported that men drinking three or more glasses a day of whole milk were shown to have a 2.49 times increase in prostate cancer.43 A 2001 Harvard review of the research put a finer point on it: Twelve of ... fourteen case-control studies and seven of ..." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"LUNG CANCER Every year in the United States, more than 164,000 people are diagnosed with lung cancer. Cancers that begin in the lungs are divided into two major types, non-small-cell and small-cell lung cancer, depending on how the cells look under a microscope. Each type of lung cancer spreads in different ways and is treated differently. Treatment depends on the type of lung cancer, the size, location, and the extent of the tumor, and the general health of the patient." - Jeff Berman, Fran Fleegler, John Hanc, The Force Program: The Proven Way to Fight Cancer Through Physical Activity and Exercise (Get the book.)

"The results from large, controlled trials of beta-carotene supplementation provide striking evidence of adverse effects in smokers (more lung cancer than expected, as well as overall mortality). But the harm may be in taking large amounts of beta-carotene all by itself, via supplements; numerous past studies indicated that people who eat the most vegetables and fruit and foods rich in carotenoids have the lowest risk of lung cancer. A similar story cropped up a few years later with vitamin E supplements. " - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.)

"Mortality was 17% higher in the supplemented group as a result of a 28% higher rate of lung cancer and a 17% higher rate of heart disease. In other words, those who received the vitamin got more cancer, not less. In the Alpha-Tocopherol, Beta-Carotene (ATBC) Cancer Prevention Study 29,133 male smokers from Finland were treated with beta-carotene, alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E), a combination of the two, or a placebo in a randomized double-blind trial. There was an 18% increase in lung cancer and an 8% increase in total mortality in the beta-carotene-supplemented group." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.) "There was a 28% increase in lung cancer in the supplemented group, which was statistically significant.4 Mortality was 17% higher in the supplemented group as a result of a 28% higher rate of lung cancer and a 17% higher rate of heart disease. In other words, those who received the vitamin got more cancer, not less. In the Alpha-Tocopherol, Beta-Carotene (ATBC) Cancer Prevention Study 29,133 male smokers from Finland were treated with beta-carotene, alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E), a combination of the two, or a placebo in a randomized double-blind trial." - J.

"At the end of the study, the researchers found no difference in cardiac events or lung cancer rates between the vitamin E and placebo groups. The researchers did not conclude that the vitamin didn't work, only that at this dosage in smokers it had no effect on new-onset cardiovascular disease and lung cancer. Yet evening news reports said that vitamin E was no more effective than placebo. Doctors used this study to discourage the use of vitamin E by their patients. Smoking depletes vitamin E in the body." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.)

"Some people believe that because the damage is done, they don't have to quit smoking—but those who continue to smoke after a lung cancer diagnosis have significantly poorer outcomes than those who quit. There's also evidence that the chemicals in cigarette smoke interfere with radiation and chemotherapy. lung cancer patients who quit smoking respond better to the treatments. Important: lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in men and women. Lung tissue gradually returns to normal when people quit smoking." - Bottom Line Health, Bottom Line's Health Breakthroughs 2007 (Get the book.)

"In an accompanying editorial titled, "The Immediate vs the Important," two physicians, themselves authors of a groundbreaking 1993 article on the same subject, called for a different approach for treating lung cancer. We must begin with the realization, they wrote, that "lung cancer is merely the natural pathologic consequence of exposure to tobacco use." Our ability to eliminate this fearsome disease "will remain constrained until focus and resources are directed to the root causes of these conditions." - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.)

"There are potential concerns about using beta-carotene by itself, especially in women who are at higher risk for lung cancer. As a precaution, I avoid beta-carotene supplementation in women at high risk for lung cancer (smokers), and for everyone else, I only recommend products that have mixed carotenes and natural carotenes. Careful label reading is essenrial. If the label doesn't say "natural," then the product has synthetic beta-carotene. Do not be alarmed if your skin turns an orange tint when supplementing with high amounts of carorenes." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"We know, for example, that from 1965 to 1998, lung cancer quadrupled in women, overtaking breast cancer as the number one cancer killer in women in 1986. Smoking not only is responsible for 87 percent of lung cancers but also increases the risk of cancer of the mouth, throat, esophagus, and bladder. A review of all the studies that looked at the relationship between cancer and exercise showed that the risk of developing some of the most common cancers is significantly reduced by exercise." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

"In a Japanese study, for example, researchers found that men who ate raw vegetables every day slashed their lung cancer risks by about 36 percent. Those who ate fruit every day reduced their risks of lung cancer by 55 percent. Even the men who were smokers benefited. Smokers who ate fruit, raw vegetables, and green vegetables every day reduced their lung cancer risks by 59 percent, 44 percent, and 52 percent, respectively. The benefits of produce aren't only in relation to lung cancer either." - Prevention Magazine, Prevention's New Foods for Healing: Capture the Powerful Cures of More Than 100 Common Foods (Get the book.)

"National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health had confirmed that titanium dioxide induces lung cancer in rodents following inhalation and that there is no safe exposure level. The U.S. Department of Labor's Material Safety Data Sheet on this substance further warns: "Precautions: Do not breathe dust. Causes respiratory tract irritation." It also notes: "Protective Equipment: Be sure to use an approved respirator" if handling the powder. Titanium dioxide powder particle size is very fine, less than one micron, which is why it is readily inhaled deeply into human lungs." - Samuel S.

"As such, if you have probiotics in your intestines which ensure that vitamin Kl is converted into vitamin K2, you may reduce your risk of developing lung cancer. More research is needed in this area, but this is another example of how probiotics are more than just a digestive aid. Probiotics can improve the health of the entire body. Stomach Cancer The number of people with stomach cancer has decreased in recent decades in Western society, but it is still a problem around the globe." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.) "In September 2003, the International Journal of Oncology reported that treating lung cancer patients with vitamin K2 slowed the growth of cancer cells. Vitamin K2, or menaquinone, is found in egg yolk, butter and fermented soy foods, and despite its importance in, cancer fighting it only makes up about 10% of Western societies' consumption of vitamin K. The other form of vitamin K, vitamin Kl, or phylloquinone, is found in any green vegetables such as lettuce, broccoli and spinach, and makes up about 90% of the vitamin K in a typical Western diet." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"Ethylene oxide is a potent carcinogen which induces brain, breast, and lung cancer in rodents. It has also been incriminated as a cause of lymphomas in exposed workers ( 23). In the medical journal Cancer's 2007 review of mammary carcinogens, dioxane was one of the 216 chemicals they identified as producing breast cancer in rodent tests. Its carcinogenicity in rodents was first reported in 1965 and subsequently confirmed in 1978. The predominant cancer caused in rats was nasal cancer; cancer was also found in the livers of mice." - 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.)

"Liver, bladder and lung cancer could be aided by probiotics. • Radiation therapy side effects may be alleviated by probiotics. • K ?M ? ?Wt Your body is made up of hundreds of different types of cells, all of which behave differently. A cell in the liver, although it contains the same genetic information as a brain cell, performs a completely separate role. Every cell has a map of instructions called DNA. Each cell is told when to reproduce, die and repair." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"It makes no more sense to say heart disease kills people than to say "tobacco disease" causes lung cancer. What is tobacco disease you might ask? Well, it's a name I just made up. It's a disease that's characterized by people who smoke cigarettes and end up with lung cancer. I call it tobacco disease, and I can just as easily say tobacco disease kills millions of people a year as you can say heart disease kills people. Once again, if you're a sharp thinker, you might say, "Well, gee, it doesn't make any sense to say that tobacco disease killed someone." - Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.)

"But then again, it took thirty years to prove that smoking causes lung cancer. The second part of that belief is that, as a scientist, I realize we do not have enough controlled data to make a definitive statement about this program and its theory. I am looking for the funding for this next step. I am planning to conduct a study of 200 people in the diabetic program including both the U.S. and Israel to further explore this question. I feel there is enough data, and the issue is important enough, given the pandemic nature of diabetes, to release our preliminary results at this time." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) "For example, it took more than thirty years to prove that smoking was directly linked to lung cancer. The beautiful thing is that the approach is both safe and outstanding for developing high-level wellness. It is a win/win proposition. CHAPTER 3 A Comprehensive Theory of Diabetes ROGER BANNISTER: No longer conscious of my movement, I discovered a new unity with nature. I had found a new source of power and beauty, a source I never dreamt existed." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"As detailed in its "Cancer Statistics Review, 1975-2004," while there has been a major decrease in the incidence of lung cancer, other categories of cancers reveal alarming increases over the past three decades: • Acute childhood leukemia has increased by 64 percent. • Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma has increased by 55 percent. • Acute adult leukemia has increased by 44 percent. • Childhood brain cancer has increased by 39 percent. • Testes cancer has increased by 32 percent. • Thyroid cancer has increased by 27 percent. • Post-menopausal breast cancer has increased by 24 percent." - Samuel S.

"Regression of aggressive lung cancer: Another important study was carried out on lung cancer by Dr. Vimal Patel at Indiana University in collaboration with myself and others. Dr. Patel deliberately chose a challenging type of cancer, Lewis lung carcinoma. This is known to be a cancer which aggressively metastasizes—spreading rapidly to other organs of the body. Rapidly metastasizing cancer is ordinarily the most life-threatening type. This study began with animals who already had Lewis lung carcinoma. MAK-4 was added to their diet, with dramatic results." - Hari Sharma, Freedom from Disease: How to Control Free Radicals, a Major Cause of Aging and Disease (Get the book.)

"One reason why it's important to identify other causes of high blood calcium levels is that sometimes bone pain related to cancer is accompanied by high calcium levels. lung cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, and multiple myeloma all can cause bone pain and elevated calcium levels. Sarcoidosis—an immune-mediated disease?can cause elevated calcium levels, too. The most common abnormalities that stimulate PTH production are calcium deficiency and insufficient dietary protein. Chronic dietary acidosis and vitamin D deficiency deplete calcium and magnesium stores." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.) "Breast Cancer Breast cancer—the second most common cancer in women behind nonmelanoma skin cancer—is the sixth leading cause of death among American women and the second leading cause of cancer death behind lung cancer. Your risk of breast cancer increases with age. And you're more likely to die of breast cancer if you're African American than if you're European American. A key development for vitamin D was the appearance of increasing evidence that experts had detected a strong relationship between vitamin D and breast cancer risk." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"It was found that children who grow up with smokers in their homes are three times more likely to develop lung cancer in their later years than those who come from non-smoking homes. The study results pointed to a definite link between lung cancer and passive smoking: ¦ 97 people developed lung cancer. ¦ 20 more had related cancers, such as cancer of the larynx. ¦ 14 died from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. ¦ Ex-smokers faced up to twice the risk of respiratory diseases from passive smoke than those who had never smoked.34 Don't smoke!" - KC Craichy, Super Health 7 Golden Keys to Unlock Lifelong Vitality (Get the book.)
