"OVARIAN CANCER Etiologic factors associated with ovarian cancer include breast cancer, no children, family history of ovarian cancer, and obesity. The cause of ovarian cancer is unknown. Ovarian cancer is often an occult disease, as symptoms are nonspecific. Therefore, ovarian cancers are commonly diagnosed at an advanced stage. Signs and symptoms may include vague pelvic or abdominal discomfort, indigestion, urinary frequency, abnormal vaginal bleeding, abdominal swelling, and palpable abdominal masses." - John Boik, Cancer & Natural Medicine: A Textbook of Basic Science and Clinical Research (Get the book.)

"OVARIAN CANCER: A prospective study of seventy-one women diagnosed with ovarian cancer showed a significantly reduced risk of ovarian cancer with higher tomato consumption. PROSTATE CANCER: Subjects who consumed tomato sauce daily for three weeks before their prostatectomy had a significant decrease in DNA damage in prostate tissues and an increase in prostate cancer cell death. A case-control study found a significant inverse association between higher plasma lycopene derived from plant sources such as tomatoes and lower risk of prostate cancer." - David W. Grotto, RD, LDN, 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life! (Get the book.)

"And in fact, some researchers believe the fewer periods a woman has during her lifetime, the less risk she will face for developing ovarian cancer. This is a potentially exciting finding, sure to be followed over the next few years. To find out more information, call the ovarian cancer National Alliance at 202-331-1332 or www.ovariancancer.org. Uncommon Uses for Birth Control Pills In the late 1990s, doctors began prescribing oral contraceptives for two new uses: • An acne prevention aid. • A likely aid in preventing ovarian cancer." - Bottom Line Books, Uncommon Cures For Everyday Ailments (Get the book.)

"Carriers of the former have a 50 to 85% lifetime risk of breast cancer and a 20 to 40% risk of ovarian cancer; for carriers of the latter, the breast cancer risk is similar, while that for ovarian cancer is halved. Surgery to remove both breasts obviously prevents breast cancer, but it is controversial for three reasons: the trauma of disfiguring surgery, the fact that cancer does not develop in all carriers, and the notion that careful monitoring can lead to effective treatment." - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.)

"Since the lifetime risk of ovarian cancer is 1 in 70, women with healthy ovaries should be encouraged to leave them in place when possible. Special circumstances, such as a strong family history of ovarian cancer, might warrant their removal. Myomectomies are particularly appropriate for women who wish to retain their childbearing option or in women with a small submucous myoma that causes a bleeding problem. Most myomectomies for large intramural fibroids are done abdominally." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"Results showed that women who consumed the most lactose had twice the risk of this type of ovarian cancer than women who drank the least lactose. It was suggested that galactose (a component of lactose) may damage ovarian cells, making them more susceptible to cancer.40 In 2004, Susanna Larsson and colleagues of the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, published a study41 in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition that examined the association between intake of dairy products and lactose and the risk of ovarian cancer." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) "Results showed that women consuming four or more servings of dairy a day had double the risk of ovarian cancer, compared to those consuming low or no dairy. Milk was the dairy product with the strongest positive association with ovarian cancer. 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." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"OVARIAN CANCER: Ginger induced apoptosis (programmed cell death) and autophagy (cells digesting themselves) in ovarian cancer cells. Ginger was also effective at controlling inflammation, thus stopping the cancer cells from growing. COLON CANCER: Ginger was found to protect against the formation of colon cancer in mice injected with cancer cells. Don't Throw Me an Anvil! Ginger has blood-thinning qualities and may be contraindicated if you are on blood thinners. Check with your doctor or a registered dietitian for advice on the inclusion of ginger." - David W.

"We may be adding ovarian cancer to that list, too. Although not definitive, a new study in Cancer Causes and Control found that women whose diets included large amounts of olive oil reduced their ovarian cancer risk by 30 percent. Choosing lean meats and low-fat dairy products and substituting olive and canola oil for butter, lard, and high-trans-fat margarines when possible is a great place to start. Lose weight. Keep extra weight off as best you can by working out almost every day (consult your physician before starting an exercise program) and containing extra calories by limiting fat." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.)

"There was about a 50% increase in ovarian cancer that was not statistically significant, mainly because ovarian cancer is much less common than breast cancer, and no increase in uterine cancer. HRT had no effect on cancer when all cancers were combined, and it reduced the risk of osteoporotic fracture.2 It did, however, increase the risk of stroke by 31%." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)

"A likely aid in preventing ovarian cancer. There is so little known about the cause of deadly ovarian cancer (and so many problems in developing screening tests for the disease) that this last "new use" can only be described as good news for millions of women worldwide. Birth control pills should only be used under a doctor's care. PREGNANCY DELIVERY • Guided Therapy for a Healthy Delivery Air raid of giving birth? Guided therapy is the ticket to fear-free delivery.

"Here is another map that shows the distribution of ovarian cancer in the USA. Although the distribution is not identical to that for breast cancer, the similarities are striking. Major urban areas are especially prone to high ovarian cancer incidence. Cancer Mortality Rates by State Economic Area Ovarian Cancer Mortality Rates (Available at National Cancer Institute's Cancer Mortality Maps & Graphs and at SUNARC.org) Research on vitamin D supplementation and cancer in women The most compelling study on the influence of vitamin D on cancer risk in women was conducted by Dr." - Marc Sorenson, Solar Power For Optimal Health (Get the book.)

"Opposes estrogen's predisposition to promote cell growth, thereby providing protection from uterine, breast, and ovarian cancer as well as fibrocystic disease in females and an increased risk of prostate cancer in males. As you can see, when they are in sync, estrogen and progesterone are responsible for important biochemical functions in both the female and male bodies. When the ratio of estrogen and progesterone gets out of sync, many health issues arise, including unwanted weight gain. what is estrogen dominance?" - C. W.

"In fact, facial hair in a postmenopausal woman may actually be a red flag for ovarian cancer. VERY HAIRY MEN Just like bearded ladies, so-called werewolves have been standard attractions at side shows. This type of excessive hair growth in men, medically known as congenital hypertrichosis, is exceedingly rare. However, there is a less severe and more common form of this condition, known as acquired hypertrichosis, which can occur as a drug reaction to some topical steroids, antibiotics, drugs to treat epilepsy, and hair growth drugs. Stopping the drug will usually stop the excess hair growth." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph.

"Antioxidants have been proven protective against many cancers, including lung, colon, breast, prostate, and ovarian cancer. In general, the more colorful the food you eat, the higher its antioxidant content will be. Cooking and microwaving lower the amount of antioxidants in your foods, so fresh is always best. Berries, pomegranates, sunflower seeds, and walnuts are foods with some of the highest antioxidant content. All citrus fruits, including oranges, pineapples, kiwi fruits, prunes, and dates, are also very good sources." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.) "Studies published in 2005 in the Archives of Internal Medicine showed that in Swedish women aged forty to seventy-six years, there was a 24 percent lower risk of ovarian cancer in women who drank one cup of green tea daily; if they consumed two or more cups daily, their risk fell by 46 percent, compared with non-tea drinkers. Clearly, the benefits of green tea increase with the amount of tea imbibed, but this might be too much caffeine or liquids for the average woman. Green tea contains about 15 mg of caffeine per cup." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.) "Third, synthetic progesterone is carcinogenic and has been linked to breast and ovarian cancer; your natural progesterone is not cancer-causing. Synthetic progesterone is vastly different from your own natural progesterone, produced by your ovaries to counteract the stimulating effect that estrogen has on your cells—particularly on the cells lining your uterus and inside your breasts. Natural progesterone is referred to as the pregnancy hormone, which is when it is particularly important for balancing the very high levels of estrogen that are circulating (discussed more fully in chapter 8)." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.)

"Although highly curable if it is found early and confined to the ovary, ovarian cancer is often not diagnosed until it has advanced and even spread to other parts of the body." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph.

"Surprisingly, women who had never smoked had a 99 percent higher risk of endometrial cancer and a 122 percent higher risk of ovarian cancer among those with the highest acrylamide intake. The March 15, 2005 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) contained an article titled "Acrylamide Intake and Breast Cancer Risk in Swedish Women," written by Lorelei A. Mucci, ScD, MPH. The study cohort consisted of 43,404 Swedish women in the Women's Lifestyle and Health Cohort." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "The strongest inverse correlation is with breast, colon, and ovarian cancer, followed by tumors of the bladder, uterus, esophagus, rectum, and stomach. To obtain the disease-curbing benefits of sunlight, you need to be outside at least three times a week for a minimum of 15-20 minutes. Avoid using sunscreens and sunglasses; otherwise you won't gain the benefits from sunlight exposure. (See Chapter 4 for details)." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"As many as a quarter of women with recurrent miscarriages end up being diagnosed with the autoimmune disease APS, and one in five women who've suffered blood clots in the legs or strokes in the prime of life test positive for APS, making it more prevalent in women than leukemia and ovarian cancer combined. No, the real reason doctors missed Jan's syndrome is because APS falls into the category of one of nearly one hundred autoimmune diseases that doctors have only in the last decade begun to recognize and understand." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"For this reason and because of its complete safety record and immune-support qualities, women with ovarian cancer may consider using IPg with inositol. Breast Cancer. IPg with inositol has been studied experimentally for its ability to both prevent and treat breast cancer. The studies have been extremely positive. In an experimental study, published in 1993 in Cancer Letters, breast tumors were reduced 40 percent. Several additional studies have confirmed these results, including some anecdotal evidence." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.) "Its ability to modulate inflammatory biochemicals associated with breast cancer, colon cancer, and ovarian cancer makes Zyflamend a good option for all adults. Both men and women stand to benefit from this synergistic combination of anti-inflammatory, antioxidant herbal extracts. Anything that safely promotes healthy inflammation levels without sending the body into imbalance as many anti-inflammatory drugs may, can be expected to protect joint, brain and cardiovascular health—body systems that are known to be adversely affected by excess inflammation." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.) "The cancer risk for the highest intake of omega-3s compared to the lowest were 50 percent less for oral and pharyngeal cancer, 50 percent less for esophageal cancer, 30 percent less for colon cancer, 20 percent less for rectal and breast cancer, and 40 percent less for ovarian cancer. The risk benefits were significant for all cancer sites, excluding rectal and breast cancer. These results suggest that omega-3 PUFAs decrease the risk of several cancers. Colorectal Cancer United Kingdom public health officials studied the relationship between omega-3s and certain forms of cancer." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"Just before my operation, the surgeon chatted to me and said I would not need my ovaries for much longer and it was wiser for me, to avoid ovarian cancer, to have them removed. I can't tell you how sorry I am to have agreed. I have five children, which I now know reduces my chances of ovarian cancer anyway. I suffered terrible depression after the operation. My then doctor did not believe in HRT and she had me on a very low dose. Eventually, I changed my doctor, was given more HRT and my health improved." - Martin J.
