"Lutein and zeaxanthin may slash the risk of non-hodgkin's lymphoma. The results of a new study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition suggest that high daily intake of the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin cuts the risk of non-hodgkin's lymphoma by almost 50 percent. (Whenever something decreases risk by half, that gets my attention.) The researchers found that people with the highest intake of lutein and zeaxanthin had a 46 percent lower risk, compared with people with the lowest intake." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.)

Both are rare forms of cancer of the lymph nodes. non-hodgkin's lymphoma accounts for about 5% of cancers in the United States and is mostly found in adults around age 60. Hodgkin's is much rarer and primarily affects younger people between the ages of 15 and 35. Although both conditions can be fatal, they can be treated successfully if caught early. ck can also signal cancer of the thytract." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph.

"SEND IN THE CLOWNS At age nineteen, Trudi was diagnosed with fast-growing non-hodgkin's lymphoma. The next two and a half years of radiation and chemo were, she says, hellish. Although she was unaware of Recasting per se, over time that's precisely what she did. Feelings: "I was so exhausted I could hardly move, and I was isolated from all the things I loved to do: hanging out with friends, telling stories, and being the class clown. Everything you do as a normal kid had been ripped away from me. I didn't pay that much attention to what I felt at the time, but now I see I was very angry." - 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.)

"The American Journal of Epidemiology (January 2004, pages 148-154) found that "An increased risk of non-hodgkin's lymphoma was observed among women who reported use of hair-coloring products before 1980.... On the other hand, the authors found no increased risk of non-hodgkin's lymphoma ... among women who started using hair-coloring products in 1980 or later. It is currently unknown why an increased risk of non-hodgkin's lymphoma was found only among women who started using hair-coloring products before 1980." - Paula Begoun, Don't Go Shopping for Hair-Care Products Without Me (Get the book.)

Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.) "The odds ratio overall for non-hodgkin's lymphoma associated with celiac disease compared to first-degree relatives was reported to be 3.1, with odds ratios of 16.9 for gut lymphoma and 19.2 for T-cell lymphoma, respectively [89]. The good news is that the reported risk for lymphoma decreases to that of the general population on the gluten-free diet [90]. In a minority of patients with biopsy-diagnosed celiac disease, there will continue to be gastrointestinal symptoms and failure of normalization of intestinal damage, despite vigorous adherence to the gluten-free diet." - Ann M.

"Hodgkin's disease (aka Hodgkin's lymphoma), and non-hodgkin's lymphoma. These serious conditions often have other signs, such as weight loss and fever. But in the case of Hodgkin's, night sweats may be the only complaint. Finally, night sweats can be an early warning sign of a rare, slow-developing blood disorder, polycythemia vera (PV), a condition in which a person's bone marrow pro- SPEAKING OF SIGNS The more you sweat in peacetime, the less you bleed during war. —Chinese proverb duces excess blood cells, especially red blood cells." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph.

"Kathryn was diagnosed with congestive heart failure following a 1997 bone marrow transplant for non-hodgkin's lymphoma and subsequent thyroid treatment with radioactive iodine. The right side of her heart was particularly affected, and her ejection fraction plummeted to 25 percent (normal range is 50 to 70 percent). (See the inset at left for a brief explanation about ejection fraction.) Although she had no history of heart disease, she now had difficulty walking twenty feet, and she was constantly gasping for breath." - Stephen T.

"We both have had patients with non-hodgkin's lymphoma who received radiation in the chest and then developed coronary disease. In cardiology, we call that radiation atherosclerosis. We believe X-rays damage endothelial cells. A prime example was a patient with multiple risk factors for CVD, including diabetes and high blood pressure. In 1995, prior to beginning New Cardiology therapy, he was treated with radiation for a neck tumor. Subsequent diagnosis revealed 3 5 percent narrowings in both his carotid arteries." - 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.)

"It is categorized with "noncarcinogenicity for humans" in the United States, despite studies linking it to non-hodgkin's lymphoma, genetic damage and reproductive problems.

"Much higher rates of multiple myeloma, non-hodgkin's lymphoma, leukemia, bladder, and breast cancer have been documented since 1977 in women who regularly use black or dark brown permanent or semi-permanent hair dyes. Major excesses of breast cancer have long been documented in women who have used birth control pills for long periods of time; the same has been documented since 1991 in women who have been on long-term estrogen replacement therapy." - 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.) "It is estimated that use of these dyes accounts for over 20 percent of all non-hodgkin's lymphoma in women, the incidence of which escalated by 70 percent from 1975 to 2004. (5) Evidence on the carcinogenicity of hair dye ingredients has been well recognized since 1979 (4), but remains trivialized or ignored by the manufacturers of these products. The European Union banned twenty-two hair dye ingredients in 2006 because of the evidence of bladder cancer risk, and also because the industry had failed to submit safety files on 115 other ingredients in currently used products." - 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.) "Frequent and prolonged use of these dyes has been linked to leukemia, multiple myeloma, Hodgkin's lymphoma, non-hodgkin's lymphoma, and bladder and breast cancers. While the European Union has banned many hair dye ingredients, United States manufacturers and regulatory agencies remain stubbornly blind to the dangers. (See chapter 7.) Deciphering Product Labels Simply knowing what ingredients to avoid sometimes isn't enough. How can you avoid ingredients if the manufacturer doesn't reliably list them on the label?" - Samuel S.

"Obesity increases a person's risk of developing breast, colon, endometrial, kidney, esophageal, and pancreatic cancer, as well as non-hodgkin's lymphoma and multiple myelomas. Being overweight also increases a woman's odds of dying from cancer, particularly ovarian cancer. Prediabetes (usually diagnosed as insulin resistance) is common in patients with cancer. It may have contributed to the risk of cancer, and it may also be a consequence of metabolic changes from having cancer." - Jack Challem, Stop Prediabetes Now: The Ultimate Plan to Lose Weight and Prevent Diabetes (Get the book.)

"Below is research to support eating less animal protein: • "Red meat, especially hamburgers, is associated with an increase in non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma" (Journal of the American Medical Association, May 1996) • A "high intake of animal protein—more than 95 gm per day— showed a significantly higher risk of osteoporosis. Plant protein showed the least. (The average person following a Westernized diet can easily consume 120 grams of protein daily)" (American Journal of Epidemiology, March 1996) • "The latest on protein levels—45 gm is required daily for women and 55 gm daily for men." - Mary-Ann Shearer, Perfect Health the Natural Way (Get the book.)

"If any symptoms of non-hodgkin's lymphoma are persistent, you should see your doctor for proper evaluation. Dietary and Nutritional Factors The diet should be low in animal protein and fat and high in fiber. Alcohol should be avoided. ORAL (MOUTH) CANCER Ten thousand Americans each year die from oral cancer. It is twice as common in men as in women, although the incidence is rising in women and falling in men. Tumors in the oral cavity are not always malignant; however, some tumors can be precancerous." - Phyllis A.

"On the other hand, the authors found no increased risk of non-hodgkin's lymphoma ... among women who started using hair-coloring products in 1980 or later. It is currently unknown why an increased risk of non-hodgkin's lymphoma was found only among women who started using hair-coloring products before 1980." Does that mean the hair-dye products developed after 1980 changed in some way that reduced the incidence of lymphoma, or did some other lifestyle change account for the difference?" - Paula Begoun, Don't Go Shopping for Hair-Care Products Without Me (Get the book.)

"Swelling of the parotid and/or other salivary glands can also be caused by a number of other factors, including cirrhosis of the liver; bulimia, a bacterial infection such as strep throat; poor oral hygiene; a salivary gland tumor or a calcium-based stone in one of the salivary ducts; and Mikulicz's syndrome, which is characterized by swelling (usually painless) of the parotid glands and, sometimes, the tear glands, and which can occur in people with a number of different diseases, including leukemia, lupus, non-hodgkin's lymphoma, and tuberculosis." - Phyllis A.

"Signs and Symptoms Symptoms of non-hodgkin's lymphoma vary, depending on the area of cancer growth. If cancer is in the abdomen, it can cause nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain or enlargement; in the chest—shortness of breath and cough; in the brain—headaches, vision changes, and seizures; in the bone marrow—anemia; in the thymus—shortness of breath or feeling of suffocation, and coughing. Detection and Diagnosis A biopsy can be done on lymphatic tissue to detect if there is any cancer present, and if so, what type." - Phyllis A.

"In non-hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), the body's ability to fight off infection is significantly decreased because fewer than normal white blood cells are produced. In addition, the cancer can spread through the lymphatic vessels to other parts of the body. NHL can be low-grade (slow-growing), intermediate-grade, or high-grade. Both intermediate-grade and high-grade NHL are fast-growing and can be deadly within 1 to 2 years if left untreated." - Phyllis A.

"Vincristine is now used in single-drug therapy for acute leukemia; in combination chemotherapy it is indicated for the treatment of Hodgkin's disease, non-hodgkin's lymphoma, breast cancer, uterine and cervical cancer, small cell bronchial cancer, rhabdomyosarcoma, and various sarcomas. Vinblastine is indicated in the treatment of Hodgkin's disease, non-hodgkin's lymphoma, advanced testicular cancer, breast and ovary epithelioma, Kaposi's sarcoma, choriocarcinomas, and in some cases of histiocytosis." - Amarjit S. Basra, Handbook of Medicinal Plants (Get the book.)

"NON-HODGKIN'S LYMPHOMA The American Cancer Society estimated that nearly 56,200 new cases of non-hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) would be diagnosed in 2001. NHL is the fifth most common type of cancer in the United States. The disease is difficult to treat, with an average 1-year survival rate of 70% and a 5-year survival rate of 51%. Approximately 90% of all non-Hodgkin's lymphomas are diagnosed in adults. The average age at diagnosis is in the early 40s, and the disease is slightly more common in men than in women. The risk for the disease increases throughout life." - The Life Extension Editorial Staff, Disease Prevention and Treatment (Get the book.)

"Those who had worked for IBM had greater chances of dying from several forms of cancer, including those of the brain and central nervous system, kidney cancer, non-hodgkin's lymphoma and breast cancer. Given the limits of the information available to Clapp, it wasn't possible to say which chemicals accounted for the excess rates of cancer. That information remains a trade secret. No independent assessment of this problem can be conducted. Some nice people I know at IBM wish the company would just acknowledge the sins of the past and move on. But they say the lawyers would never allow that." - Devra Davis, The Secret History of the War on Cancer (Get the book.)

"The other showed identical results in patients with non-hodgkin's lymphoma.2 The papers caused some head scratching among the anti-sun group, although previous research indicated that sunlight exposure was protective against prostate cancer, breast cancer and colon cancer. Amazingly, melanoma and lymphoma patients who had experienced more sunburns also had better survival rates from both diseases. Getting sunburned is still dangerous and should be avoided." - Marc Sorenson, Solar Power For Optimal Health (Get the book.)

"Working with the strategic health authorities in England, the 34 cancer networks and the pharmaceutical industry, the report found that at the narrowest end of the range of availability was Mabthera for non-hodgkin's lymphoma, with a 2.6-fold variation, and the widest was Temodal for brain cancer, which has an 11.6-fold variation between health authorities.19 This means that for every patient that qualified for Mabthera in the most drug-abstemious authority, 2.6 did elsewhere. And where one patient gets to use Temodal in one area, more than 11 do elsewhere." - Jacky Law, Big Pharma: Exposing the Global Healthcare Agenda (Get the book.)
