"A total of 204 men died from cancer, including 68 with bronchus cancer and 37 with gastrointestinal cancer (20 with stomach cancer and 17 with large bowel cancer excluding cancer of the rectum). Overall mortality from cancer was associated with low mean plasma levels of carotene adjusted for cholesterol and of vitamin C. Subjects with subsequent stomach cancer also had lower mean vitamin C and lipid-adjusted vitamin A levels than did survivors. Low levels of vitamin C increased the risk of stomach cancer by 230 percent and gastrointestinal cancer by nearly 250 percent in older subjects." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"She did a study comparing people living in the area with the highest incidence of stomach cancer (near San Jose) and the lowest rate of stomach cancer (Nicoya) to try to identify the cause. "I found that school kids in both places were equally infected with Hp," she said. "So we knew that it wasn't just the bacteria. The cancer comes from how people react to it, and there are many things that mix." When I asked her to venture a guess as to why the incidence of cancer is so much lower in Nicoya, she hedged.

"Subjects with subsequent stomach cancer also had lower mean vitamin C and lipid-adjusted vitamin A levels than did survivors. Low levels of vitamin C increased the risk of stomach cancer by 230 percent and gastrointestinal cancer by nearly 250 percent in older subjects. The authors concluded that low plasma levels of antioxidant vitamins are associated with an increased risk of subsequent cancer mortality. This effect was stronger in men above age 60 years at blood sampling." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"The only reason we are not up to our ears in cases of stomach cancer is that vitamin C significantly inhibits the formation of the powerful nitrosamines. Most studies agree that the fall in stomach cancer over the past three decades is due to increased consumption of vitamin C. In fact, recent research indicates that certain flavonoids commonly found in green vegetables and fruits may inhibit these carcinogenic substances up to three hundred times better than vitamin C. Praise the Lord! He has saved us from ourselves again." - Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., Health and Nutrition Secrets (Get the book.)

"High dietary intakes of highly salted food such as pickles, salted fish, and smoked foods have been tentatively linked to increases in stomach cancer. There is an increase in calcium loss with higher salt intakes, making excess salt a risk factor in osteoporosis. Reducing salt in the diet has been shown to slightly lower the risk of stroke, high blood pressure, and heart attack. Reducing salt intake by six grams per day results in an average lowering of the systolic blood pressure by about four mm of mercury in people with high blood pressure." - Dr. Steve Blake, Vitamins and Minerals Demystified (Get the book.)

"Clin Chim Acta 358: 60-67, 2005] • Ginger root extract (gingerols) inhibits the growth of Helicobacter pylori in the digestive tract, which is a bacterium linked to stomach cancer. [Anticancer Research 23: 3699-702, 2003] • *Example 2: A French study published in the journal Phytomedicine showed that extract of black cohosh may prevent and halt the growth of breast cancer cells. The study was funded by the National Institutes of Health and the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"Gastric Cancer Risk Reduced on Raw Diet A study published by the Kaunas University of Medicine in Lithuania found that higher consumption of raw vegetables, such as cabbage, carrots, garlic and broccoli, is linked to a decrease in the risk of stomach cancer. This study appeared in Medicina (Kaunas) 2005, 41 (9): pp. 733-740. 42. LDL Cholesterol and Triglyceride Levels Found Favorable on Long-Term Raw Diet An article published in the October 2005 edition of 77?e Journal of Nutrition (135, Issue 10, pp." - Susan E.

"Nevertheless, in Costa Rica we also have one of the highest rates of stomach cancer in the world. Many people die from it. But for some reason, it's the cancer mortality rate that is much lower in Nicoya. Perhaps they are eating something—or not eating something?" I asked if there was anything else. Luis demurred and threw me a side glance from the driver's seat. He's a top-notch scientist, but sometimes he reminded me of a shy schoolboy, like the smartest kid in class who often had the right answers but was afraid of showing off.

"Causes of Chronic Gastritis Chronic gastritis is usually related to an underlying condition like peptic ulcers, stomach cancer and/or Crohn's disease. DIETARY TREAMENTS FOR GASTRITIS People who suffer with gastritis should eat a plain diet. They should avoid sugar, tea, pop, spicy foods, coffee, fats, grease, pastries, tomatoes, citrus and alcohol. Eat a healthy diet that includes fresh fruits, vegetables, lean meat, fish and whole grains in your diet. Some foods have healing properties. For example, papaya and pineapple have natural enzymes that aid in digestion." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.)

"Our research also suggested that fruits' role in preventing stomach cancer seemed to offer a piece in Nicoya's longevity puzzle. SOMETHING IN THE WATER? Near the end of our second week in Nicoya, Gianni and Michel were putting a couple other pieces in place. In San Jose, they'd followed their noses into the basement of the university library, where they'd found an atlas illustrating different features in each of the country's regions. They were looking for idiosyncrasies, characteristics that distinguished Nicoya from the rest of Costa Rica." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.)

"Scientists are not sure that probiotics can prevent stomach cancer, but their ability to fight H. pylori may help. In Chapter 15,1 will discuss more about the ability of probioitcs to fight H. pylori. Radiation Therapy Perhaps the most exciting way probiotics can help fight cancer is through its ability to promote health in people undergoing chemotherapy or radiation treatments. In 2006, Russian researchers reported the ability of a probiotic called Acilact to improve the health of mice when exposed to ionizing radiation and chemotherapy." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"We also believe that vitamin C and beta-carotenes may help prevent stomach cancer or at least subdue the effects of the Hp. You find these nutrients in fruits and vegetables like papaya, carrots, calabazas (squash), oranges, pineapples." I wasn't familiar with all the different kinds of fruits and vegetables available to Nicoyans, but all of our team's research and everything we had observed directly in the field pointed to Nicoyans being big consumers of fresh fruit." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.)

"Thp i ca HpalthiA<;t FnnH«; nn Farth In Vidalia, Georgia, where the Vidalia onion comes from and where onions are consumed in large quantities, the death rate from stomach cancer is 50 percent lower than the national mortality rate from stomach cancer. One theory is that onions contain diallyl sulfide, which increases the body's production of an important cancer-fighting enzyme, glutathione-S-transferase. Onions Help Build Strong Bones At least two important studies show that onions help build strong bones." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth About What You Should Eat and Why (Get the book.)

"A Japanese study that compared the tea-drinking habits of 139 patients with stomach cancer and 2,852 people without stomach cancer revealed that people who drank large quantities of green tea (ten or more cups daily) had a much lower risk of developing cancer of the stomach, than those who did not." - Lester A. Mitscher and Victoria Toews, The Green Tea Book (Get the book.)

"One study that examined the risk of stomach cancer in Japanese men found that drinking green tea conferred no protective effect.23 In fact, there was a greater incidence of cancer among smokers who drank a lot of green tea than among those who drank less tea, which was of borderline statistical significance, although this might have been caused by the fact that people who smoke also tend to drink green tea. Another study followed 40,530 Japanese adults for eleven years to measure mortality and green tea consumption." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)

"No one knows exactly how atrophic gastritis causes stomach cancer. It may be because it results in the circulation of too much gastrin, a hormone with strong links to the development of such cancer, or it may be because of the way in which acid suppression promotes bacterial overgrowth and an environment ripe for chronic inflammation and infection. One thing is clear: acid suppressors are increasingly viewed with suspicion by those concerned with stomach cancer rates.

"Being bloated can also be a sign of a variety of intestinal problems, including constipation, bowel obstruction, irritable bowel syndrome, and cancers of the digestive system, such as colon and stomach cancer. It can also signal thyroid disease, cirrhosis of the liver, and chronic kidney disease. Bloating can also be an early—and sometimes the only—warning sign of ovarian cancer, the deadliest and one of the most underdiagnosed cancers in women. The prognosis is good if diagnosed early. Unfortunately, most cases—80%—aren't caught early enough to save a woman's life." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph.

"Ironically, Trousseau himself later developed DVT and was diagnosed with stomach cancer within a year. SIGN OF THE TIMES While covering the war in Iraq in 2003, NBC News correspondent David Bloom, 39, died from a pulmonary embolism caused by a clot that formed in his leg (DVT), then broke off and entered his lungs. Bloom had complained of leg cramps while riding for long hours in the narrow confines of a converted army tank." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph.

"CANCER: Both wasabi and horseradish inhibited the growth of colon, lung, and stomach cancer cells in a human cell study. ORAL HEALTH: Wasabi has even been known to prevent tooth decay. BACTERIA KILLER: Horseradish and wasabi root have components including isothiocyanates that are effective in killing H. pylori and other bacteria. Tips on Using Horseradish and Wasabi SELECTION AND STORAGE: Horseradish: • The vast majority of horseradish sold today is prepared horseradish that comes in jars, which will keep for a year unopened and for four months opened." - David W.

"Another anti-cancer benefit of green tea is its ability to block the formation of carcinogenic nitrosamines from the nitrites and nitrates in processed meats that would otherwise increase the risk of stomach cancer. As little as three to five grams of tea daily, Dr. Smith estimates, would be sufficient to block nitrosamine formation, which would significantly lower the incidence of stomach cancer. Other researchers, from China, confirm that green tea inhibits the transformation of nitrosamines. This conclusion was reached after testing 145 different samples of green, oolong, and black tea." - Lester A. Mitscher and Victoria Toews, The Green Tea Book (Get the book.)

"Half an onion a day keeps stomach cancer away. That's what Dutch researchers discovered in a study of more than 120,000 men and women. Making half an onion part of your daily menu could cut your risk of stomach cancer in half. Onions contain quercetin and other antioxidants that can safeguard your stomach. Healthy habits It's safe to smooch, according to the latest research. You can kiss your special someone without catching the dreaded H. pylori bacteria, experts say. But to prevent an ulcer flare-up, follow these tips." - The Editors of FC&A, Unleash the Inner Healing Power of Foods (Get the book.)

"The NCI trials, conducted in Linxian, China, with a population at high risk for esophageal cancer, noted a significant benefit for those receiving a P-carotene/vitamin E/selenium combination—a 13% decrease in the cancer mortality rate, a 21% decrease in stomach cancer mortality, a 4% decrease in esophageal cancer mortality, a 10% decrease in deaths from strokes, and a 9% decrease in deaths from all causes [35]. The general-izability of these findings from Linxian may not be universally appropriate because individuals in this study appear to have limited intakes of several micronutrients." - Ann M.

"A number of years ago, a man came to see me who had stomach cancer and was undergoing chemotherapy. He lived in extreme chronic pain and was struggling to remain at his job as supervisor of a military supply depot where there were huge demands placed on him for strength, endurance, and agility. When he arrived for his first appointment, he couldn't even walk up a wheelchair ramp. Immediate pain relief was crucial in his case. I taught him the hypnotic method I'm about to teach you. Over a number of weeks, he became free of pain entirely." - Rick Levy and Lou Aronica, Miraculous Health: How to Heal Your Body by Unleashing the Hidden Power of Your Mind (Get the book.) "I am now working with a very prominent man to help him overcome stomach cancer. This man has worked with U.S. presidents, formed a powerful think tank, and sits on the boards of many beneficent organizations. By anyone's account, he is highly successful and has helped millions of people. We began our work by using a wide range of techniques, including hypnotic regression and meditation, the Gearshift, and energy healing work. Despite his stature in the world, this man found himself plagued by self-doubt." - Rick Levy and Lou Aronica, Miraculous Health: How to Heal Your Body by Unleashing the Hidden Power of Your Mind (Get the book.)

"Evidence of a protective effect for tomato consumption was strongest for cancers other than breast cancer (prostate [page 371], lung [page 298], and stomach cancer), but some evidence of a protective effect also appeared for breast cancer. Meat and how it is cooked Most,24'25 but not all,26 studies show that consumption of meat is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. This association probably depends in part on how well the meat is cooked. Well-done meat contains more carcinogenic material than does lightly cooked meat." - Alan R. Gaby, M.D., Jonathan V.

"GOOD NEWS, BAD NEWS "Soy prevents stomach cancer and heart disease" was the proclamation heard 'round the world in 2000 when Japanese researchers provided "modest support for the preventive role of soy." Modest isn't much, but then, every little bit helps in the fight against cancer and heart disease. Indeed, the study does provide "modest support." What the conclusion omits is the fact that soy might possibly provide some protection from stomach cancer—but only if you happen to be male; and that soy might possibly provide some protection from heart disease—but only if you are female!" - Kaayla T.

"As little as two daily tablespoons of cooked cabbage protected subjects against stomach cancer. Cabbage also contains powerful anti-ulcer compounds; its juice has shown to help heal ulcers in humans. It even has anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties. Red cabbage has twice the fiber as white cabbage. It is known for its balancing effects on blood cholesterol. Cauliflower and Brussels sprouts have similar benefits. Bok choy, which is brimming with minerals, has been found to lower high blood pressure by 30 points or more." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)
