"Grad also showed that healers could reduce the growth of cancerous tumors in laboratory animals. Animals with tumors which were not healed died more quickly? Other animal studies have shown that amyloidosis, tumors and laboratory-induced goiter could be healed in laboratory animals.8 Other conducted scientific studies had shown that people could influence yeast, fungi and even isolated cancer cells.0 In one of them, a biologist named Carroll Nash at St Joseph's University in Philadelphia found that people could influence the growth rate of bacteria just by willing it so." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"It is difficult to follow these tumors within the body, but many studies have followed such tumors on the surface of the body. Such studies primarily look at leukoplakia, which is a precancerous tumor found inside the mouths of tobacco chewers, and cervical dysplasia, the precancerous tumor on the surface of the cervix. We hope that by observing the use of various antioxidants on these tumors, we will gain insight into the possible effect on the already damaged DNA. Remember, cancer is a multistage process, and even precancerous tumors are in a relatively advanced stage." - Ray D. Strand, What Your Doctor Doesn't Know About Nutritional Medicine May Be Killing You (Get the book.)

"A large proportion of cancers detected by PSA may be so-called indolent tumors, ones that are unlikely to produce clinical symptoms or affect survival. In other words, such tumors may be there, but do nothing that would reduce life expectancy. How does one know if his tumor is indolent or aggressive? How does one make what could be life or death decisions? Perhaps a strategy of so-called watchful waiting is wise, though such (non)action produces considerable and possibly long-term stress with potential negative health consequences." - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.)

"Animals with tumors which were not healed died more quickly? Other animal studies have shown that amyloidosis, tumors and laboratory-induced goiter could be healed in laboratory animals.8 Other conducted scientific studies had shown that people could influence yeast, fungi and even isolated cancer cells.0 In one of them, a biologist named Carroll Nash at St Joseph's University in Philadelphia found that people could influence the growth rate of bacteria just by willing it so." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"By the time I got involved in her care, the tumors in her breast and under her arm were growing quickly, and actually eroding through the skin. I prescribed medication to control her pain and the local infection around the tumors, but there was little chance that any therapy could control her underlying disease. As her physical condition deteriorated over the next few weeks, I made several house calls." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

"Chung- Kwang Chou, inserted electrodes into the animals' tumors and sent a tiny electrical charge (around 10 volts) through the electrodes for 30 minutes to several hours. The study showed that, depending on the placement of the electrodes and the dosage of electrical current, ECT was effective in reducing the size of the tumors. Recently, City of Hope began human testing, although the trials have not been advertised and the test group is extremely small, given legal constraints." - Bottom Line Books, Uncommon Cures For Everyday Ailments (Get the book.)

"A small discrepancy in the allocation of subjects (for example, more in one group have metastasizing tumors by happenstance) can fool you into thinking the exposure was the explanation. That's called randomization error. It can only be avoided if all the important variables can be measured and considered in the allocation or the analysis. In small trials probing a robust health effect, randomization errors from "minor" influences are less important. However, in large trials seeking tiny effects, randomization errors can never be avoided." - Nortin M. Hadler MD, Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (Get the book.)

"Ganmaa Davaasambuu, the Mongolian physician and researcher who published this report, found that rats fed low-fat milk were "more likely to develop tumors, and in greater numbers and of larger size, than rats fed water or artificial milk." Alternatives to Milk Products Luckily, there are lots of great alternatives to conventional milk products." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.) "Carcinogen: Any substance shown to cause tumors or cancer in experimental studies. Response, Compensation, and Liability Act. Chronic exposure: A contact with a substance or chemical that happens over a long period of time. ATSDR considers exposures of more than one year to be chronic.

"Radiation therapy is one of the most effective treatments currently available for many types of malignant tumors. For small tumors of the vocal cords, breast, prostate, and cervix, radiation provides an alternative to surgery or a supplement to extensive surgery. For some types of tumors, radiotherapy is the only form of treatment available. Of course, treatment must be designed to destroy tumors without irreparably damaging adjacent normal tissues; this requires skilled staff and excellent equipment.

"Some of the reported benefits of the omega-3s include protection against heart disease, strokes, and clots in the lungs; anti-carcinogenic activity against tumors; protection against diabetes; prevention and treatment of arthritis; and treatment for asthma, PMS, allergies, inflammatory diseases, water retention, rough or dry skin, and multiple sclerosis. The omega-3 s are reported to increase vitality and contribute to smoother skin, shinier hair, softer hands, smoother muscle action, the normalization of blood sugar, increased cold weather resistance, and a generally improved immune system." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) "They examined eleven overweight individuals and found lipase deficiency (lipase is needed to digest fats) in their fatty tissues as well as fatty tumors.118 The lipase content of the adipose tissues of obese individuals and in lipomas was below the population norm.119 Generally speaking, the amount of amylase (needed to digest carbohydrates) in diabetics is about 50 percent of normal. It has been shown that the amylase content of liver and spleen was raised from two to seventeen times over the original when digestive enzymes containing amylase were given." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Furthermore, lab and animal studies on vitamin D and melanoma show that melanoma cells have D receptors and that activated vitamin D slows the growth of cells in culture and tumors in animals. Perhaps the answer to preventing melanoma is not elimination of sun exposure through avoidance or the use of sunscreen. And that makes sense when you remember that we've been evolving under the sun for more than 2 million years. Maybe the sun isn't such a bad guy after all. The question remains—how much sun is enough?" - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"No organs are treated. No tumors are removed. What's important here is that the patients believe something is done. Based on their trust of the doctor and modern medicine, they believe that what they've experienced will help their condition. In the presence of their belief, their body responds as if they'd actually taken the drug or undergone a real procedure. While Beecher reported that around one-third of the patients he reviewed responded positively to a piacebo, other studies have placed the response rate even higher, depending on the condition for which patients were treated." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.)

"Introducing NGF into our brains could have the unintended consequence of causing tumors to form out of neural or other cells present in the brain, which possess NGF receptors. Researchers had attempted to add a tetracycline-responsive gene to the NGF virus that would serve as a switching-off mechanism and shut down production of NGF if it became excessive, but this technique has never worked well. Even beyond the risk of cancer, safety is an issue in the actual procedure itself, which requires neurosurgery in patients who are already prone to complications." - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.) "The CT scan can detect tumors, blood clots, or strokes, while blood tests are designed to detect metabolic disturbances or endocrine deficiencies. Expensive neuroimaging is the latest craze in the Alzheimer's field. Standard CT and MRI scans are a part of routine practice, although there is some controversy about when to use each. However, advanced and expensive neuroimaging techniques have been promoted extensively over the last quarter-century, promising much, but delivering relatively little. Imaging is categorized into two approaches: structural and functional." - Peter J.

"And in the laboratory, apples have exhibited very strong antioxidant activity to inhibit cell proliferation (the type of rapid multiplication that occurs in tumors), decrease lipid oxidation (when fats in the body combine with oxygen), and lower cholesterol. Here are some more apple research tidbits. Load up on phytochemicals. Simple phenolics and flavonoids represent the majority of antioxidant activity found in apples, and it's the phenolics in apple peel specifically that account for the majority of the antioxidant and antiproliferating activity." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.)

"Other animal studies have shown that amyloidosis, tumors and laboratory-induced goiter could be healed in laboratory animals.8 Other conducted scientific studies had shown that people could influence yeast, fungi and even isolated cancer cells.0 In one of them, a biologist named Carroll Nash at St Joseph's University in Philadelphia found that people could influence the growth rate of bacteria just by willing it so.10 An ingenious trial by Gerald Solfvin showed that our ability to 'hope for the best' might actually affect the healing of other beings." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"If it: moves to the liver, it is called colon cancer with liver metastases. tumors can be either benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Benign tumor cells i stay in one place in the body and are not usually life-threatening. and eliminate, the less work it has to do. Your overworked immune system has less work to do thanks to probiotics. Thus, your immune system can focus on helping cells that are damaged and prevent these cells from becoming cancer." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"Parabens could be responsible for accelerating the growth of tumors in the breast. Because parabens are used in commercial deodorants, particularly antiperspirants, scientists are now considering a link between the use of common deodorants and an increased risk of breast cancer in women. A woman is eight times more likely to develop breast cancer in the area of the breast closest to the underarm than in any other part of the breast." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.) "The age-adjusted incidence of primary tumors of the central nervous system (CNS) (particularly astrocytomas, including the rapidly progressive glioblastoma multiforme as well as the benign meningiomas) appears to have increased by 50 to 100 percent over the past several decades, with the greatest increase ocurring among the elderly. ? The United States has recently experienced increased incidence of and mortality from renal cancers." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"More than 90 percent of the cells in cancerous human tumors use telomerase. That's how they become tumors—without telomerase, cancer cells would die out after dividing fifty to sixty times, or perhaps a little longer. With telomerase helping them to short-circuit the Hayflick limit, they can multiply uncontrollably, wreaking the biological havoc we're all too familiar with. On top of all that, successful cancer cells—the cells we most want to die on their own—have found a way around apoptosis, or programmed cell death." - Dr. Sharon Moalem, Survival of the Sickest: A Medical Maverick Discovers Why We Need Disease (Get the book.)

"In parous animals, the high-fat diets do not increase mammary tumors [35]. Such caveats are important in understanding the results from animal studies and may also, although not necessarily, inform our understanding of human disease processes. Epidemiologic studies have the advantage of being a study of human populations with gene frequencies and exogenous exposure levels at the pertinent levels. However, there are other concerns with studies of this kind. In epidemiologic studies, an individual's genotype can be determined from DNA extracted from cells." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.) "Decreased growth of human prostate LNCaP tumors in SCID mice fed a low-fat, soy protein diet with isoflavones. Nutr.

Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.) "Other studies have suggested that high levels of dietary alcohol may increase risk of MSI (OR for MSI+ versus MSI- tumors for alcohol 1.6, 95% CI 1.0-2.5; OR for liquor 1.6, 95% CI 1.1-2.4) [23]. VIII. PREVENTION OF COLON CANCER The link between diet and colon cancer is clearly complex. It is understandable that attempts to identify consistent associations between dietary factors and colon cancer are difficult because of the interactions of individual nutrients and overall dietary composition with genetic predisposition and other environmental influences." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.) "Associations appear to be stronger for younger people and those with proximal tumors. Lutein is a good marker for green vegetable intake. Although protective effect not observed, high intake of tomatoes has been reported as protective in three studies that examined the association.

"She went on to find the love she deserved with new optimism and her tumors shrank away. History will present itself to you through a wide range of sensory and cognitive experiences. You may re-experience an event just as you lived it, seeing it through your eyes the way it happened at the time, accompanied by sensory awareness (sound, touch, smell, hearing, even taste). On the other hand, you may experience an event almost as though you were watching a movie, viewing it from outside yourself as a third-party observer." - Rick Levy and Lou Aronica, Miraculous Health: How to Heal Your Body by Unleashing the Hidden Power of Your Mind (Get the book.)

"Among the therapeutic properties attributed to garlic in both Codex Ebers and Hippocrates' writings is its ability to stop tumors. Its use against tumors persisted throughout Asian and Western civilizations. In 1983, a paper appeared in an English medical journal entitled "Onion and Garlic Oils Inhibit Tumor Promotion." This first position paper, about 3,500 years after Codex Ebers, was the initial step in verifying whether garlic actually had tumor-inhibiting properties." - James Scala Ph.D., 20 Natural Ways to Reduce the Risk of Prostate Cancer : A Mind-Body Approach to Health and Well-Being (Get the book.)

"A host of studies of Qigong carried out in China have been collated on the Qigong Database; many of these studies claim to offer evidence that "destroying mind" can kill human cancer cells or tumors in mice, decrease the growth rate of E. coli, and inhibit activity of amylase, an enzyme used to help digest carbohydrates.13 Nonetheless, some Western scientists maintain quiet reservations about the database; few of these studies have been replicated in the West." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"One long-term side effect is that these patients' bodies can no longer respond to nutritional or immune-strengthening approaches to cancerous tumors. All of this may explain why cancer patients who do not receive any treatment at all, have an up to four times higher remission rate than those who receive treatment. The sad thing is that chemotherapy does not cure 96% to 98% of all cancers anyway. Conclusive evidence (for the majority of cancers) that chemotherapy has any positive influence on survival or quality of life does not exist." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)
