Mammograms are not safe. Compression of the breast may prompt cancer to spread. And then theres the radiation. In his book, Radiation from Medical Procedures in the Pathogenesis of Cancer and Ischemic Heart Disease, John Gofman, M.D., Ph.D. – a nuclear physicist and a medical doctor, and one of the leading experts in the world on the dangers of radiation – presents compelling evidence, that over 50 percent of the death-rate from cancer is in fact induced by x-rays. Dr. Gofman also continues to say that mammogram delivers about 1,000 times more radiation than a chest x-ray and carries a risk of cardiovascular damage... This has also been verified and well-researched by the world renowned Dr. Joseph Mercola.

A recent study that linked aspirin with a reduced risk of colorectal cancer. First — the study only included patients with Lynch syndrome, a condition that sharply increases colorectal cancer risk. So while aspirin may have protected some Lynch syndrome patients from colorectal cancer, those results can't be extrapolated to the general population. Second — subjects in the study received 600mg of aspirin daily. And that's a long LONG way from the 81mg low dose that's commonly recommended for heart benefits. Those extra 519mg per day would dramatically increase risk of stomach bleeding, heart attack, and stroke — three known side effects caused by regular use of non-steroidal anti- inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which includes aspirin. So let's come back down to earth with the "breakthrough" research that does not offer the average person a reasonable way to help prevent colorectal cancer.

Like many drugs, the Bradford smart bomb's original source is Nature. A flower called autumn crocus contains a toxic chemical called colchicine that kills human body tissues. But the Bradford team came up with the idea to synthesize an inactive form of colchicine that can be brought back to full toxicity when it senses the presence of an enzyme produced by solid tumours. This particular enzyme helps tumours to develop the tiny blood vessels that deliver oxygen and nutrients so that they can grow. However, when the colchicine regains toxicity, it only attacks the enzyme and doesn't harm any other healthy cells.

The latest so-called 'medical miracle' linked to aspirin: According to a recent study, published in The Lancet, taking a high dose of aspirin daily could cut your risk of developing hereditary cancer. The study, which tracked 1,000 patients in 16 countries for more than four years, was conducted by researchers from Queens University and Newcastle University, in the UK. The researchers focused principally on people with Lynch syndrome, an inherited genetic disorder that causes cancer by affecting genes responsible for detecting and repairing DNA damage.

Dr. Burzynski’s story begins back in the early 1970's when he discovered that people suffering with cancer lacked a certain peptide, in comparison to those who were cancer- free. This led him to develop a treatment known as antineoplastons — a gene-targeted therapy that uses a non- toxic mixture of peptides and derivatives of amino acids, known to act as molecular switches as well as genetic switches, turning on cancer suppressing genes, while simultaneously turning oncogenes (cancer genes) off!

Cancer is one of those words that provokes a sense of fear in most of us. This is hardly surprising, given the statistics... like those which show how 1 in 3 of us will be affected by the disease at some stage in our lives... and whilst statistics may just be a bunch of numbers on paper for some people, the reality is much more hard-hitting if you or a loved one receives a diagnosis. Earlier this week, a panel of cancer experts, writing in Lancet Oncology, suggested that drugs like tamoxifen could reduce the chances of developing breast cancer... Obviously, cancer is now the mainstream's next target... once again they're determined to make people believe that dangerous pharmaceuticals are the only viable option..

In 1961 when CoQ10 deficiency was detected in patients with breast and other forms of cancer, it sparked an interest in this nutrient as a possible preventative and treatment for cancer. As a result, a subsequent study showed a statistically significant relationship between the degree of CoQ10 deficiency and the progression of breast cancer.

Angiogenesis happens when tumours (having outgrown their existing blood supply) send out signals to surrounding normal tissues to grow new blood vessels into the tumour. Apart from inhibiting angiogenesis, PEITC (in watercress) also induces apoptosis (cell death) in certain cancer cells, and, in some cases, even in cells that are resistant to chemotherapeutic drugs.

Researchers from Canada, England and China, found that flax seed lignans appear to offer protection against breast, prostate, colon, and skin cancers as well cholesterol and related heart protection. They also found that the soluble fibre flax seed lignans contain could help maintain steady blood sugar levels for diabetes.

“Could multivitamins raise breast cancer risk?” If you came across this, or another similar news headline recently, were probably, understandably, very alarmed.

As usual, scratch beneath the sensational headlines and you soon realise that all isn’t quite as it initially appears. So, before you throw out your one-a-day multivitamin let’s take a closer look at what the study findings actually revealed…
