"Medical oncology wields therapeutic zeal that harkens to the "to cut is to cure" zeal of the midcentury cancer surgeons that now elicits disdain. The oncology community touts its advancements. However, the improvements are likely to be more apparent than real. Much of the so-called advance can be ascribed to "lead time bias." Our ability to detect metastases has steadily increased. Therefore, the breast cancer that might have been deemed nonmetastatic a decade ago can be shown to be metastatic today and be labeled as such." - Nortin M. Hadler MD, Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (Get the book.)

"One year after the American Society of Clinical oncology meeting, American researchers made a site visit to the South African researcher's laboratory and found that his data were fraudulent. The researcher's article was retracted by the Journal of Clinical oncology, and he was fired from his university post. Finally, in 2000, this unfortunate chapter in medical history was brought to an end when the results of a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine failed to show any benefit from high-dose chemotherapy followed by bone marrow transplantation." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.)

"Beljanski's studies and the recent paper from the International Journal of oncology). CLINICAL STUDIES Some 10 years after his death, the implications of Dr. Beljanski's work continue to be studied ever more intensively, as more and more of the science of the DNA shifts from genetic mutations to the inherent integrity of the whole structure—and it doesn't hurt that Beljanski's research showed promise in a major clinical trial at Columbia University. Headed by Dr." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"In 2006, a report from radiation oncology researchers at the University of Pennsylvania caught our attention. Their research involved a laboratory experiment showing that antioxidants effectively protected human breast epithelial cells against a variety of radiation-induced free radical damage. The specific cell line they used is a standard research model used in cancer studies." - 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.)

"The American Cancer Society, the National Cancer Institute, the American Medical Association (AMA), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the major oncology centers all feel threatened by the successes of alternative cancer therapies. Of course, this is not difficult to understand, given the high failure rate (93%) of medical therapies." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "An investigation by the Department of Radiation oncology, Northern Sydney Cancer Centre, Australia, into the contribution of chemotherapy to 5-year survival in 22 major adult malignancies, showed startling results: The overall contribution of curative and adjuvant cytotoxic chemotherapy to 5-year survival in adults was estimated to be 2.3% in Australia and 2.1% in the USA." [Royal North Shore Hospital Clin Oncol (R Coll Radiol) 2005 Jun;17(4):294.] The research covered data from the Cancer Registry in Australia and the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results in the USA for the year 1998." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "Mike Brown (Kate Law of the Cancer Research Campaign) Philippe Autier (European Institute of oncology in Milan) reported that children using sunscreen returned from holiday with more skin moles—a possible sign of increased cancer risk. Whether or not sunscreens increase the risk of developing skin cancer, at least there is overwhelming evidence that sunscreens don't prevent skin cancer." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "Associate Professor of oncology, Gynecology, and Obstetrics at Johns Hopkins. "If you haven't been exercising, try low-level exercise, such as walking or swimming." The benefits of exercise are not limited to helping treatment-related fatigue. In fact, they actively contribute to curing cancer. Several groundbreaking studies attest to this fact. This hardly comes as a surprise, since cancer cells are typically oxygen-deprived, and exercise is a direct way to deliver extra oxygen to cells throughout the body and to improve the immune response." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (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.)

"Similar observations on the power of flaxseed to aid prostate health have been made in Europe at the oncology Centre, Antwerp, Belgium. Writing in 1999 in the journal European Urology, researchers noted that Asian men have much lower incidences of prostate cancer and possibly of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) than their Western counterparts. Vegetarian men also have a lower incidence of prostate cancer than omnivorous males. Both Asian and vegetarian men consume low-fat, high-fiber diets which provide a rich supply of weak dietary plant estrogens." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"Sencer's integrative oncology center has established many nutritional holistic protocols for kids with cancer. "Some kids are so mi-cronutrient poor," she said, "that I recommend everyone take a vitamin. For kids, though, it's very hard to make dietary changes when they've just been diagnosed with cancer, or when they're going through chemotherapy. The high doses of steroids make people crave foods high in sodium—Big Macs, fries, that sort of thing. They'll crave something familiar and comforting, and unfortunately for most of them that's what McDonald's is." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This!

"Study results reporting on the antiprostate cancer activity of this extract in vitro and in vivo were published in the November 2006 issue of the International Journal of oncology, by Devra L. Bemis, Ph.D., Aaron Katz, M.D., and other top researchers from the Department of Urology, College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University Medical Center and the Center for Holistic Urology. In the in vivo (biological) portion of the study, the cancerous LNCaP cells were treated with the extract or placebo, and tumor growth was measured for five weeks." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"The Times article described the dramatic meeting of the American Society of Clinical oncology that took place in 1999, three years after Ms. • Based on health care spending in the United States being 42 percent higher than predicted by the median per-person expenditures in the other OECD countries (corrected for per-person GDP). Even 70 percent is an overstatement, though, because Americans' health is inferior to the health of the citizens of the other OECD countries.

"The researcher's article was retracted by the Journal of Clinical oncology, and he was fired from his university post. Finally, in 2000, this unfortunate chapter in medical history was brought to an end when the results of a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine failed to show any benefit from high-dose chemotherapy followed by bone marrow transplantation. The accompanying editorial laid the issue to rest: "this form of treatment for women with metastatic breast cancer has been proved to be ineffective and should be abandoned...." But this was four years too late to save Ms." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

"In contrast, studies reported in both the International Society for Preventive Oncology's Cancer Detection and Prevention Journal (1999) and the International Union Against Cancer's International Cancer Journal (2005) found that women who used synthetic progestins plus estrogen had a significantly higher risk of breast cancer, whereas women using bio-identical progesterone plus synthetic estrogens had a lower risk of breast cancer than women using estrogen alone." - C.

"Evidence supporting the petition was based on twelve science articles published in such medical journals as Cancer, Tlie Lancet oncology, and the International Journal of Cancer since the previous petition was denied. These convincingly confirmed the causal link between genital application of talc and ovarian cancer.

"Reports on their use have recently appeared in oncology News International, In Touch (a news magazine sent to more than 90,000 orthodox physicians), and in a national press release issued by Congressman Dan Burton, chairman of the Committee on Government Reform. Beard first proposed in 1906 that unidentified substances produced by the pancreas—which we now call pancreatic proteolytic enzymes—were not only key to bodily digestive processes, but they also protected against cancer. Indeed, Beard called them the main defense against cancer." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"For hours most mornings, Reid coached Peter by telephone in biology, oncology, quantum physics, bioenergetics, and more. The conversations stimulated Peter to think in ways he never had before, and they gave him hope that his work was leading somewhere useful. Reid was a maverick. He was secure enough in his own intellect to be unapolo-getic about his belief that it was only a matter of time before medicine acknowledged that energy and information were at least as important as biochemistry in the workings of the body and the regulation of health." - Peter h.

"Rehberger, "Induction of tumor necrosis factor in human peripheral-blood mononuclear cells by proteolytic enzymes," oncology 47 (1990): 475-77.) Carbohydrases are also good at raising blood sugar. The carbohydrases from fungal sources are amylase, maltase, glucoamylase, alpha-galacto-sidase, hemicellulase, xylanase, pectinase, and phytase. If you have sugar cravings, food cravings, and low blood sugar, amylase in particular may help tremendously.

"Randall Oyer, MD, chairman of medical oncology at John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek, California, isn't afraid to say that diet and nutrition play major roles in health and cancer prevention, but he resists applying the connection to a short time frame. "What a person has been eating a year before she was diagnosed with breast cancer probably isn't as relevant as what she'd been eating a decade or two before," explains Dr. Oyer. Most cancer researchers admit that the scientific evidence that diet can reduce cancer risk is much stronger with colon cancer than it is with breast cancer." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.) "According to new research by Gilda Hillman, PhD, an associate professor of radiation oncology with the Kar-manos Cancer Institute in Detroit, soy foods appear to render cancer cells more susceptible to radiation (or more radiosensitive). But here's the fascinating news that suggests to me that soy has synergy from multiple components in this mighty bean, and the best way to get soy is probably as a whole food: In lab studies, when Dr." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.)

"The principle investigator of that clinical trial wrote an editorial in the Journal of Clinical oncology, in which she concluded that recent negative findings are "nails in the coffin for potential survival benefits of psychological interventions for cancer."35 A month later, Spiegel responded in an editorial in the New England Journal of Medicine. One reason for the recent negative findings, he asserted, is that since his original study, "psychosocial support for patients with cancer has improved substantially." - Gerald E.
