If You're Concerned About Breast Cancer or Any Cancer...What You Must Know

'During the mid 19th Century in France, a vigorous war of ideas raged in the upper echelons of the French scientific community.  On the one hand, Louis Pasteur was developing his germ theory of disease, and on the other, Claude Bernard was focused on the "milieu interieur", or, in his words, the constancy of the internal environment."

In other words, Bernard felt that the nourishment of the body, its ability to get rid of toxins and wastes and the strength of its immune system provided the foundations for successfully confronting both acute and chronic disease.  Although Pasteur and others fought long and hard for the supremacy of the microbe theory of disease, Pasteur affected a dramatic turnaround late in life, and on his deathbed is said to have uttered, "Bernard was right.  The microbe is nothing.  The terrain is everything."'

Research: Ginger Selectively Kills Breast Cancer Cells

'New research published in the Journal of Biomedicine and Biotechnology found that "ginger may be a promising candidate for the treatment of breast carcinomas."[i] This is a timely finding, insofar as breast cancer awareness month is only days away, and one of the primary fund-raising justifications is the false concept that a low-cost, safe and effective breast cancer treatment is not yet available. Could ginger provide the type of cure that conventional, FDA-approved treatments have yet to accomplish?'

Cannabis Compound Stops Breast Cancer Spreading

'A compound found in cannabis could halt the spread of many forms of aggressive cancer, scientists say.

Researchers found that the compound, called cannabidiol, had the ability to 'switch off' the gene responsible for metastasis in an aggressive form of breast cancer. Importantly, this substance does not produce the psychoactive properties of the cannabis plant.

The team from the California Pacific Medical Center, in San Francisco, first spotted its potential five years ago, after it stopped the proliferation of human breast cancer cells in the lab. Last year they published a study that found a similar effect in mice. Now they say they are on the verge of publishing further animal study results that expand these results further.'

Will The GMO-Breast Cancer Link Be Pink-Washed Away?

'With Breast Cancer Awareness Month (BCAM) less than two weeks away, the latest bombshell GMO/Roundup study produced by a French research team, and presently making international headlines, is well-timed. The researchers found, in the first long-term GM corn and Roundup feeding study of its kind, that female rats, exposed to concentrations well below official safety limits, developed massive, progressive mammary tumors which either lead to premature death, or required euthanasia due to their great suffering.

Why would this be of concern to BCAM? After all, BCAM is the annual pinkwashing celebration, where people collectively and forcibly remove the thought of there being preventable and treatable causes of breast cancer from their minds, hurl themselves over the lemming-like cliff of cause-marketing, e.g. Buckets for a Cure, sacrificing their time, energy and money raising billions more for a pharmaceutical cure for a pharmaceutically incurable condition.'

Watercress May 'Turn Off' Breast Cancer Signal

'New scientific research from the University of Southampton has revealed that a plant compound in watercress may have the ability to suppress breast cancer cell development by 'turning off' a signal in the body and thereby starving the growing tumour of essential blood and oxygen.'

Toxic Teeth and the Breast Cancer Connection

'Your teeth are living entities that are intricately connected to your blood stream and lymphatic system. There are miles of microtubules inside each tooth that are connected to the bloodstream. Once the tooth is drilled and the enamel is compromised, any substance placed in that tooth is absorbed directly into the body. Human and animal studies have confirmed the presence of mercury in several organs as a result of amalgam fillings placed in the teeth.'

Broccoli Sprouts and Their Effect on Breast Cancer

'Cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts and cabbages contain many phytochemicals, vitamins and minerals. In fact, in the late 90’s, published studies indicated that there was a link between the consumption of cruciferous vegetables and lower risk for breast cancer.


More recently, the nutrients in broccoli sprouts and their protective effects against multiple types of cancer have seen renewed interest within the research community.


One of the key components of broccoli sprouts is a compound called sulforaphane. Broccoli sprouts that are specifically 5-6 days old contain over 100 X’s more sulforaphane than the mature plant.'

This Popular Nut Slashed Breast Cancer Risk in Mice by 50%

 

By Dr. Mercola

'As unbelievable as it sounds, current law makes it illegal for food producers to share certain types of scientific information with you.
 

So when Diamond Food relayed health information about the omega-3 fats in walnuts on product packaging and also on their Web site, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) attacked.

Even though the information was entirely true, and backed by peer-reviewed scientific research.'

Red wine ingredient resveratrol stops breast cancer growth

'Cheers! A new research report appearing in the October 2011 issue of The FASEB Journal shows that resveratrol, the "healthy" ingredient in red wine, stops breast cancer cells from growing by blocking the growth effects of estrogen. 

This discovery, made by a team of American and Italian scientists, suggests for the first time that resveratrol is able to counteract the malignant progression since it inhibits the proliferation of hormone resistant breast cancer cells. This has important implications for the treatment of women with breast cancer whose tumors eventually develop resistance to hormonal therapy.'

Breast Cancer as a Vitamin D Deficiency Disease ?

'This month the University of Toronto School of Medicine held a conference entitled Diagnosis and Treatment of Vitamin D Deficiency. It was the largest gathering of Vitamin D researchers in North America this year.

Dr. Cedric Garland, who was the first to propose that Vitamin D deficiency explained the correlation between higher cancer rates at higher latitudes, was the highlight of the conference with his presentation entitled, "Breast Cancer as a Vitamin D Deficiency Disease."

His presentation proposed that breast cancer is a disease so directly related to Vitamin D deficiency that a woman' risk of developing the disease can be 'virtually eradicated' by maintaining Vitamin D levels at what are considered to be natural blood levels.

Dr Vieth, another champion of the Vitamin D story, explained that the natural Vitamin D levels found in mammals who live outdoors in sunny climates is as high as 200nmol/L (80ngms/ml). Dr. Garlands data proposed that raising Vitamin D levels to near those natural levels would decrease the risk of breast cancer by 77%.

The conference was arranged by Dr. Reinhold Vieth of the University of Toronto in conjunction with Grassroots Health, an group founded by breast cancer survivor Carole Baggerly. Both have dedicated themselves to spreading the word about the consequences of Vitamin D deficiency throughout the world and particularly in Canada.

The Grassroots organization has assembled a "D-action" panel of thirty of the world's leading researchers on Vitamin D. This group now recommends that 2000IU of Vitamin D3 daily is needed and that blood levels should be maintained between 100-150nmol/L (40-50ngms/ml).
Research conducted by the University of Calgary has shown as many as 97% of Canadians are Vitamin D deficient due to the countries high latitude and lack of sun exposure.

More than 3000 scientific papers on Vitamin D have been published in the last twelve months making Vitamin D the most talked about topic in medicine this year. This work has connected Vitamin D deficiency with more that two dozen forms of cancer, heart disease, multiple sclerosis and multiple other conditions.
