Curcumin vs. Cancer: The Scientific Evidence Continues to Flow In!

  • Curcumin vs. cancer: The scientific evidence continues to flow in! 
    by Ethan A. Huff, http://www.naturalnews.com/
    There is definitely no shortage of scientific evidence these days to show that  curcumin, the believed-to-be primary active ingredient in the spice turmeric,  holds incredible therapeutic value, and just might be the most advisable  medicinal spice of our day. And a prominent medical oncologist from Johns  Hopkins University seems to agree, having recently held a large seminar  highlighting the incredible ability of curcumin to fight diabetes, inflammation,  and even cancer without causing any harmful side effects.
    -
    Dr. Saraswati  Sukumar’s passion for turmeric is partially rooted in the fact that the spice  has long been a staple in traditional Indian cuisine, which is a significant  part of her own rich heritage. But Dr. Sukumar has also been studying the unique  compositional profile of turmeric, and specifically curcumin, for many years  now, which has led her to some fascinating discoveries about its vast potential  for use in medicine. Besides quelling inflammatory pain and promoting wound  healing, turmeric is a seemingly miraculous anti-cancer nutrient of the highest  order.
    -
    “We have close to 300 publications (that cite turmeric) for its  anti-cancer effects,” Dr. Sukumar is quoted as saying to the Palm Beach  Post recently. “Many diseases, such as colon cancer and other types of  cancer, are being traced to inflammation.”
    -
    Curcumin, arguably the most potent anti-cancer nutrient in existence
    The  inflammation link to cancer is backed by numerous scientific studies, including  a 2011 review published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of  Sciences which found that up to 25 percent of all cancers are caused by  chronic inflammation. According to scientists from Ohio State  University’s (OSU) Comprehensive Cancer Center, inflammation triggers an  increase in a molecule known as microRNA-155 (miR-155) that causes a reduction  in levels of the protein responsible for repairing damaged DNA.
    -
    And what  about the other 75 percent of cancers? Curcumin appears to have those covered as  well. Research released that same year by scientists from the University of  Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center revealed that curcumin actually seeks out malignant cancer cells and alters the regulation of DNA in  order to kill them. And unlike synthetic anti-cancer drugs, curcumin leaves  healthy cells and DNA alone so as not to cause harmful side  effects.
    -
    “Curcumin (diferuloylmethane) … is one of the most powerful  and promising chemopreventive and anticancer agents, and epidemiological  evidence demonstrates that people who incorporate high doses of this spice in  their diets have a lower incidence of cancer,”  explains board-certified clinical nutritionist Byron J. Richards about the power  of curcumin to fight cancer.

Pharmacist Ben Fuchs & Alex Jones: The Real Cause of Breast Cancer!

  • Published on May 24, 2013
    Pharmacist Ben Fuchs and Alex discuss breast cancer, and Angelina Jolie’s recent double mastectomy. The brilliant German biochemist Dr. Otto Warburg discovered that deficiencies in oxygen make cells cancerous.

    Ben Fuchs is a nutritional pharmacist from Boulder Colorado. He specializes in using nutritional supplements where other healthcare practitioners use toxic pharmaceutical drugs. That’s because he looks at the human body as a healing and regenerating system, designed divinely to heal and renew itself on a moment to moment basis. But it needs the raw materials to do its work. The raw materials we call nutrition and nutritional supplementation. http://pharmacistben.com/

Media Lauds Scientist Who Bragged About Cancer in Vaccines!

  • Media Lauds Scientist Who Bragged About Cancer in Vaccines
    by Aaron Dykes and Melissa Melton Activist Post 
    Vaccination continues to be heralded as one of the top achievements in medicine while all of the evidence to the contrary continues to be ignored.
    -
    Earlier this week, The New York Times ran a 1500-word puff piece lauding the work of top Merck vaccine “pioneer” Dr. Maurice R. Hilleman. Here’s a quote:
    -
    To a remarkable extent, we owe our well-being, and in many cases our lives, to the work of one man and to events that happened 50 years ago this spring.
    -
    The article goes on to say some credit Hilleman with having saved more people than any other scientist in the entire 20th century. It is true that Hilleman helped to define and legitimize the vaccination campaign in this country.
    -
    But nowhere among the 1500 words did the article mention this video above where Hilleman openly admits SV40, AIDS and cancer viruses in contaminated Merck vaccines were knowingly unleashed upon the American public.

Evidence Suggests that Up To 90 Percent of Landmark Cancer Research may be False!

  • Evidence suggests that up to 90 percent of landmark cancer research may be false! 
    by Jonathan Benson, http://www.naturalnews.com/
    (NaturalNews) The vast majority of the published scientific literature on cancer  and cancer research is inherently flawed and non-reproducible, reveals a new  review published online in the journal Nature. Researchers C. Glenn  Begley and Lee Ellis found that a mere 11 percent of 53 papers on cancer  published in reputable, peer-reviewed journals was solid, while the other 89  percent could not be reproduced, implying that it may be false or at the very  least misleading.
    -
    Preclinical studies are the basis upon which the  scientific community at large determines how best to develop treatments for  disease, including potential new approaches to treating cancer. But such  studies, though sure to contain some minor flaws from time to time, appear to be  missing the boat in major ways on a regular basis. And the end result of this  intrinsic failure is a cancer treatment system that is not only outdated but  potentially completely misguided.
    -
    “The scientific community assumes that  the claims in a preclinical study can be taken at face value – that although  there might be some errors in detail, the main message of the paper can be  relied on and the data will, for the most part, stand the test of time,” wrote  the authors about their findings. “Unfortunately, this is not always the  case.”
    -
    Based on a review of 53 published papers on cancer, Begley and  Ellis discovered that only six of them could be reproduced and confirmed in a  clinical setting. And the worst part was that the 53 papers were considered to  be “landmark,” which means they are generally recognized as having had a  significant impact on cancer research due  to presenting some new cancer treatment approach or novel therapy for targeting  cancer cells.
    -
    “[I]t looks like the scientific literature is contaminated  with a growing number of tainted studies, which may reach 89 percent, the  results of which are not reproducible by any means,” writes Eleni Roumeliotou  for GreenMedInfo.com about the shocking findings. “This means that to an  extent, we have based our healthcare and clinical guidelines on fake studies  that reported untruthful results in order to accommodate the interests of  industrial corporations.”
    -
    Many cancer studies influenced by Big Pharma conflicts of interest
    The  fact of the matter is that a considerable amount of published scientific  research is questionable at best due to influence from the pharmaceutical  industry. A similar but unrelated study that looked at research  funding found that at least 17 percent of published research papers in general  were conducted with serious conflicts of interest, which more often than not  stemmed from drug industry funding that steered the research in a pre-determined  direction.
    -
    “Given the frequency we observed for conflicts of interest and  the fact that conflicts were associated with study outcomes, I would suggest  that merely disclosing conflicts is probably not enough,” says Dr. Reshma Jagsi,  M.D., author of a University of Michigan (UM) study that found a  considerable percentage of cancer research to be tainted  by conflicts of interest. “It’s becoming increasingly clear that we need to look  more at how we can disentangle cancer research from industry ties.”

Research: Pineapple Enzyme Kills Cancer Without Killing You!

  • Research: Pineapple Enzyme Kills Cancer Without Killing You! 
    by Sayer JiThe Best Years in Life
    Every once in a while a study pops up on the National Library of Medicine’s bibliographic database known as MEDLINE that not only confirms the therapeutic relevance of natural substances in cancer treatment, but blows the conventional approach out of the water. Published in 2007 in the journal Planta Medica, researchers found that an enzyme extracted from pineapple stems known as bromelain was superior to the chemo-agent 5-fluorauracil in treating cancer in the animal model. The researchers stated:

    -
    “This antitumoral effect [bromelain] was superior to that of 5-FU [5-fluorouracil], whose survival index was approximately 263 %, relative to the untreated control.”
    -
    What is so remarkable about this research is that 5-FU has been used as a cancer treatment for nearly 40 years, and has been relatively unsuccessful due to its less than perfect selectivity at killing cancer, often killing and/or irreversibly damaging healthy cells and tissue, as well.
    -
    As a highly toxic, fluoride-bound form of the nucleic acid uracil, a normal component of RNA, the drug is supposed to work by tricking more rapidly dividing cells — which include both cancer and healthy intestinal, hair follicle, and immune cells — into taking it up, thereby inhibiting (read: poisoning) RNA replication enzymes and RNA synthesis.
    -
    The material safety data sheet (MSDS) for 5-FU states:
    -
    The dose at which 50% of the animals given the drug die is 115mg/kg, or the equivalent of 7.8 grams for a 150 lb adult human.
    -
    Keep in mind that a 7.5 gram dose of 5-FU, which is the weight of 3 pennies, would kill 50% of the humans given it. Bromelain’s MSDS, on the other hand, states the LD50 to be 10,000 mg/kg, or the equivalent 1.5 lbs of bromelain for a 150lb adult, which means it is 3 orders of magnitude safer!
    -
    How then, can something as innocuous as the enzyme from the stem/core of a pineapple be superior to a drug that millions of cancers patients over the past 40 years have placed their hopes of recovery on, as well as exchanging billions of dollars for?
    -
    There is a well-known effect associated with a wide range of natural compounds called “selective cytotoxicity,” whereby they are able to induce programmed cell death (the graceful self-disassembly known as apoptosis) within the cancer cells, while leaving healthy cells and tissue unharmed. No FDA-approved chemotherapy drug on the market today has this indispensable property (because chemicals don’t have behave like natural compounds), which is why cancer treatment is still in the dark ages, often destroying the quality of life, and accelerating the death of those who undergo it, often unwittingly. When a person dies following conventional cancer treatment it is all too easy to “blame the victim” and simply write that patient’s cancer off as “chemo-resistant,” or “exceptionally aggressive,” when in fact the non-selective nature of the chemotoxic agent is what ultimately lead to their death.
    -
    Keep in mind that bromelain, like all natural substances, will never receive FDA drug approval. Capital, at the present time, does not flow into the development of non-patentable (i.e. non-profitable) cancer therapies, even if they work, are safe and extremely affordable. This is simply the nature of the beast. Until we compel our government to utilize our tax dollars to invest in this type of research, there will be no level playing field in cancer treatment, or any treatment offered through the conventional medical establishment, for that matter. Or, some of us may decide to take our health into our own hands, and use the research, already freely available on possible natural cancer treatment, to inform our treatment decisions without the guidance of the modern day equivalent of the “priest” of the body, the conventional oncologist, who increasingly fills the description of an “applied pharmacologist/toxicologist” – nothing more, nothing less.

The Cancer Industry Does Not Want a Cure!

  • The Cancer Industry Does Not Want a Cure! 
    by Paul Fassa, http://www.tbyil.com/ 
    If you’ve never heard or seen this type of statement before, you have now and you’ve read it right. The cancer industry destroys or marginalizes safe and effective cures while promoting their patented, expensive, and toxic remedies that do more harm than good.
    -
    People who survive cancer from conventional cancer therapies don’t survive cancer, they survive the treatments. There’s an old saying from the early 20th Century, before the AMA and Big Pharma created their medical mafia: “With eclectic medicine (homeopathy, herbal, etc.), you die from the disease; with allopathic medicine, you die from the cure.”
    -
    Dr. Robert Atkins, MD, once announced there are several cures for cancer. But there’s no money in them. They’re natural, effective, and inexpensive. Raising millions for research to produce an expensive toxic remedy that can be patented and create more illness is the ticket to success and big bucks for those involved with the cancer industry’s fake war on cancer.
    -
    The thousands in the cancer industry careerists are involved with fund raising “charity” groups, university research labs, oncologists and related medical personal, medical equipment manufacturers, and of course the pharmaceutical industry. And the FDA is there to protect their business.
    -
    A Recent Episode that Proves They Don’t Want a Cure
    You would expect if a relatively safe generic pharmaceutical drug manufactured for another purpose was discovered as a potential cancer cure, there would be a rush to get that drug approved for curing cancer, or at least trying it out.
    -
    This happened a few short years ago with with a drug, now generic, that was once used for a rare metabolic disorder. Yet the cancer industry shows no interest for following up on dichloroacetate (DCA). 2007 research at University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada, reported in 2007. That’s because DCA is no longer patented.
    -
    Their research confirmed cancer as a metabolic malfunction, not a weird mutation of cells often explained away as a genetic issue. The outlaw alternative cancer therapists have long realized this, but the medical mafia doesn’t want you to hear about it.
    -
    Evangelos Michelakis and the Alberta University research team tested DCA on human cancer cells outside the body and in cancerous mice with profound success.
    -
    DCA’s worst side effects, which rarely occur, include some numbness and a slightly affected gait. The mice were fed DCA in water, and in weeks they had remarkable tumor shrinkage. This indicates DCA can be taken orally.
    -
    DCA works by restoring the cells’ mitochondria. Michelakis and his team had discovered that the mitochondria in cancer cells are not permanently damaged and irreparable, as the cancer industry maintains.
    -
    With cellular nuclei mitochondria malfunctioning, cancer cells use glucose fermentation for survival energy instead of oxygen. This fermentation occurs when cellular glycolysis (glucose conversion) is forced to occur without oxygen in an anaerobic cellular environment, which can be created by benign tumor masses, toxins, and low pH or acidic levels.
    -
    DCA restores mitochondria in cells to make them function properly, aerobically, using oxygen metabolically to convert glucose into energy.
    -
    Another function of normal mitochondria is signaling apoptosis, or cellular self destruction. Normal cells die and become replaced constantly. But with cancer cells, the apoptosis signal is nullified, making cancer cells “immortal.”
    -
    The Alberta University researchers also realized that glycolysis fermentation in cancer cells produces lactic acid. The lactic acid breaks down the collagen holding those cells together in a tumor.
    -
    This allows cancer cells to easily break away from a tumor shrinking from mainstream therapies. The researchers reasoned this is why cancer metastasizes or spreads to different parts of the body or reappears after remission from chemo.
    -
    Interesting research that has gone nowhere, unfortunately, because greed, control, and power have ruled in our wonderful medical profession since the 1920s.
    -
    The mortality rate of sincere dedicated “alternative” cancer healers is proportionately comparable to the cancer death rate since the “war on cancer” was declared by Richard Nixon in 1972.
    -
    In other words, it is and has been a war on cancer cures.

Shock Study: Chemotherapy Can Backfire, Make Cancer Worse by Triggering Tumor Growth!

  • Shock study: Chemotherapy can  backfire, make cancer worse by triggering tumor growth! 
    by http://www.nydailynews.com/ 
    Scientists found that  healthy cells damaged by chemotherapy secreted more of a protein called WNT16B,  which boosts cancer cell survival. ‘The increase in WNT16B was completely unexpected,” said Peter Nelson, of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research  Center.
    -
    Long considered the most effective cancer-fighting treatment, chemotherapy  may actually make cancer worse, according to a shocking new study. The extremely aggressive therapy, which kills both cancerous and healthy  cells indiscriminately, can cause healthy cells to secrete a protein that  sustains tumor growth and resistance to further treatment.
    -
    Researchers in the United States made the “completely unexpected” finding  while seeking to explain why cancer cells are so resilient inside the human body  when they are easy to kill in the lab.
    -
    They tested the effects of a type of chemotherapy on tissue collected from  men with prostate cancer, and found “evidence of DNA damage” in healthy cells  after treatment, the scientists wrote in Nature Medicine.
    -
    Chemotherapy works by inhibiting reproduction of fast-dividing cells such as  those found in tumors. The scientists found that healthy cells damaged by chemotherapy secreted  more of a protein called WNT16B which boosts cancer cell survival.
    -
    “The increase in WNT16B was completely unexpected,” study co-author Peter  Nelson of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle told  AFP. The protein was taken up by tumor cells neighboring the damaged cells. “WNT16B, when secreted, would interact with nearby tumor cells and cause  them to grow, invade, and importantly, resist subsequent therapy,” said  Nelson.
    -
    In cancer treatment, tumors often respond well initially, followed by rapid  re-growth and then resistance to further chemotherapy. Rates of tumor cell reproduction have been shown to accelerate between  treatments. “Our results indicate that damage responses in benign cells… may directly  contribute to enhanced tumor growth kinetics,” wrote the team. The researchers said they confirmed their findings with breast and ovarian  cancer tumors.

Study Accidentally Exposes Chemotherapy as Fraud ! Tumors Grow Faster After Chemo!

  • Study accidentally exposes chemotherapy as fraud – tumors grow faster after  chemo! 
    by Jonathan Benson, http://www.naturalnews.com/  
    (NaturalNews) A team of researchers from Washington state had a giant “Oops!”  moment recently when it accidentally uncovered the deadly truth about  chemotherapy while investigating why prostate cancer cells are so difficult to  eradicate using conventional treatment methods. As it turns out, chemotherapy  does not actually treat or cure cancer at all, according to the study’s  findings, but rather fuels the growth and spread of cancer cells, making  them much harder to stamp out once chemotherapy has already been  initiated.
    -
    You might call it the “smoking gun” that proves, once and for  all, the complete fraud of the conventional cancer industry. Not only is  chemotherapy, the standard method of cancer treatment today, a complete flop,  based on the findings, but it is actually detrimental for patients with cancer.  Published in the journal Nature Medicine, the shock findings which, not  surprisingly, are being ignored by the mainstream scientific community,  highlight in full detail how chemotherapy causes healthy cells to release a  protein that actually feeds cancer cells and causes them to thrive and  proliferate.
    -
    According to the study, chemotherapy induces healthy  cells to release WNT16B, a protein that helps promote cancer cell survival and  growth. Chemotherapy also definitively damages the DNA of healthy cells, a  long-term detriment that persists long after chemotherapy treatment is stopped.  This combined action of healthy cell destruction and cancer cell promotion  technically makes chemotherapy more of a  cancer-causing protocol than a cancer-treatment protocol, by definition, a fact  that should grab the attention of anyone personally familiar with having, or  knowing someone else who has cancer.
    -
    “WNT16B, when  secreted, would interact with nearby tumor cells and cause them to grow, invade,  and importantly, resist subsequent therapy,” explained study co-author Peter  Nelson from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle,  Washington, about the findings, which he dubbed “completely unexpected.” “Our  results indicate that damage responses in benign cells … may directly  contribute to enhanced tumor growth kinetics,” added the entire team about what  they observed.
    -
    Avoiding chemotherapy improves health outcomes, suggests research
    What  this means, for all intents and purposes, is that the entire process of  chemotherapy is completely worthless, and is actually highly detrimental for  cancer patients. Anyone searching for a real cure will want to avoid  chemotherapy, in other words, and pursue an alternate route. This may include  investigating alternative treatments like the Gerson Therapy (http://www.naturalnews.com/Gerson.html), or evaluating  anti-cancer foods and nutrients like sodium bicarbonate, turmeric, high-dose  vitamin C, and vitamin D.

Over 40 Plant-Based Compounds Halt the Spread of Cancer!

  • Over 40 Plant-Based Compounds Halt the Spread of Cancer! 
    by Elizabeth Renter theintelhub.com January 10, 2013
    Cancer wouldn’t be as fatal or as tragic if it didn’t spread. If cancer was a cluster of diseased cells, it would be more easily treatable. But, it’s the spread of cancer, also known as metastasis, that makes it so volatile, so difficult to stop. A study recently published in Cancer and Metastasis Reviewslooks at how a plant-based diet can stop this spread, working to halt cancer in its tracks.
    -
    “Most research focuses on the prevention of cancer or the treatment of the original cancer tumor, but it’s usually the cancer’s spread to nearby organs that kills you. So rather than attack the tumor, Meadows said,” according to ScienceDaily, “let’s control its spread, or metastasis.”
    -
    Gary Meadows, a Washington State University researcher and associate dean for graduate education and scholarship in the College of Pharmacy, says his findings are encouraging, that more than 40 plant-based compounds can “turn on” genes that suppress metastasis.
    -
    Meadows and his colleagues poured over countless studies on metastasis, and the work was tedious. “People for the most part did not set out in their research goals to study metastasis suppressor genes,” he said. Traditional cancer researchers didn’t look at how foods, or the compounds in foods, could trigger genes to stop cancer from spreading. So, it was up to Meadows and his colleagues to find these connections themselves.

    -
    What they found was that things like amino acids, ginseng extract, vitamin D, curcumin (found in turmeric), and pomegranate juice all affected metastasis suppressor genes in one way or another.
    -
    Meadows said their findings only represent a review of studies already out there and that a closer look at these compounds and their role in turning off the spread of cancer is needed. This is a statement I think we can all agree with.

The Cancer Cash Cycle: The Causes of Cancer and Ill Health!

  • The cancer business is a multi-billion dollar industry. You will never find a cancer cure from Big Pharma. Why would they kill their main profit generator? Forget about cancer cures. It is about cancer “treatment” to prolong life so that they can milk as much profit as possible from the patients. Many cancer cures have been found but are actively suppressed by Big Pharma and the complicit regulatory bodies. Watch the videos above and below the post.
    -
  • But of course, if you question Big Pharma, western medicine and even doctors about their chemotherapy treatment, you are reviled. You are a heretic! You cannot question the Holy Trinity of Western Medicine. Practically all doctors I know are very nice and sincere people. Unfortunately, most of them fall into the category of deceived useful idiots when it comes to cancer treatment/cures. The dumbest people I know are those (highly educated) who unquestioningly repeat all the propaganda brainwashing they have been taught like they are edicts from God! They are deceived useful idiots and probably/may be, complicit in man slaughter unknowingly, pushing poison and death as treatment/cures.
    -
    “The combined profits for the ten drug companies in the Fortune 500 ($35.9 billion) were more than the profits for all the other 490 businesses put together ($33.7 billion) [in 2002]. Over the past two decades the pharmaceutical industry has moved very far from its original high purpose of discovering and producing useful new drugs. Now primarily a marketing machine to sell drugs of dubious benefit, this industry uses its wealth and power to co-opt every institution that might stand in its way, including the US Congress, the FDA, academic medical centers, and the medical profession itself.”

    The Cancer Cash Cycle: The Causes of Cancer and Ill Health! 
    by Colin Todhunter, http://www.globalresearch.ca/ 
    Cancer is big business. Despite massive public screening campaigns and talk of cures, cancer rates continue to soar, and certain companies not only profit from making the chemicals that cause cancer but also from selling the drugs that treat it.
    -
    The 2010 documentary ‘Cut, Poison, Burn” provides revealing insight into the medical monopoly of cancer ‘treatment’, as a four year old boy who was diagnosed with brain cancer was compelled to undergo a system of chemo, surgery and radiation, against his parents wishes. He was not allowed access to a proven method of alternative treatment. The medical system’s response was callous. The authorities threatened to take the boy into custody and charged his parents with child abuse if the medical option was not opted for. The boy’s death certificate states his cause of death as: “respiratory failure due to chronic toxicity of chemotherapy”.
    -
    It is easy to conclude after watching the film that what we have here is some kind of corrupt racket. Indeed, the 2009 documentary ‘The Idiot Cycle’ alleges that some of the world’s top cancer causing culprits (including, it is claimed in the film, Bayer, BASF, Dow, Dupont, Monsanto, Syngenta, Novartis, Pfizer, among others) are allegedly profiting from the production of cancer-causing products and then some of the same companies are investing in profitable cancer ‘treatments’. These claims outlined in the movie remain to be fully verified.

    -
    On top of this, some of these companies are now developing genetically modified crops, which have never been adequately tested for long-term health impacts like cancer. The onset of the disease is frequently 15 to 20 years down the road for victims.
    -
    Prior to undertaking his recent study into the health impacts of GMOs and incurring the wrath of the GMO sector for his findings, Gilles-Eric Seralini, professor of molecular biology at the University of Caen in France, said it was absurd that only three months of testing allowed GM corn to be approved in over a dozen nations. Upon reviewing Monsanto’s raw data, he and his team found, among other problems, liver damage and physiological changes into a pre-diabetic condition among the rats which had eaten Monsanto’s GM corn. And that’s just from three months of eating such food. His new study was over a two year period.
    -
    The incidence of cancer is escalating and is expected to double by 2050, and it’s a global issue. For example, the incidence of cancer for some major organs in India is the highest in the world. While tobacco is a major cause, other factors cannot be discounted. Recent reports in the Indian media have drawn attention to rising rates of breast cancer in urban areas, and in 2009 there was a reported increase in cancer rates in Tamil Nadu’s textile belt, possibly due to chemically contaminated water. But without proper regulations in force, this may be the thin end of the wedge for India.
    -
    According to Dr Samuel Epstein, emeritus professor of environmental medicine at the University of Illinois, a range of industries in the US have contaminated the air, land and sea with a wide range of petrochemical and other carcinogens. This has not only affected the public at large, but has also placed workers in certain sectors and their offspring at risk of cancer.
    -
    Epstein notes that the incidence of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma has increased by nearly 100 per cent in the US over the last few decades, and brain cancer by about 80 to 90 per cent. Breast cancer has gone up by about 60 to 65 per cent. Testicular cancer – particularly in men between the ages of 28 and 35 – has gone up by nearly 300 percent. Epstein asserts that there has been a massive escalation in the incidence of cancer that cannot be explained away on the basis of smoking, longevity, genetics or a fatty diet. He may be right.
    -
    In the US, animal and dairy products are contaminated with a wide range of hormones, pesticides and other industrial chemical carcinogens, some of which are very important risk factors for reproductive cancers – testicular cancers in men, breast cancers in women and leukemia in children. The use of the IGF1 growth hormone in milk has been associated with breast, prostate and colon cancer.
    -
    Epstein provides various examples of everyday, taken-for-granted household items, cosmetics and toiletries, from deodorants to shampoo and talcum powder, which also contain chemicals that are carcinogens. The conclusion is that synthetic chemicals and their effects on people’s health affect everyone simply because they can be found in so many consumer products today. Unfortunately many governments roll over all too easily when it comes to sanctioning new synthetic chemicals without adequate testing, which is not too surprising, especially where pharmaceuticals are concerned – substantially more money is spent by companies on marketing and lobbying than on actual research into their drugs.

Soursop Fruit 100 Fold Stronger At Killing Cancer Than Chemotherapy!

Dees_SourSop_fruit_10000_more_effective_than_chemo

  • Soursop Fruit 100 Fold Stronger At Killing Cancer Than Chemotherapy
    by http://preventdisease.com/ 
    The Soursop is a flowering, evergreen tree native to tropical regions of the world. It also contains a long, prickly green fruit which happens to kill cancer up to 10,000 times more effectively than strong chemotherapy drugs, all without the nasty side effects and withour harming healthy cells.
    -
    According to Cancer Research UK, Annona muricata is an active principle in an  herbal remedy marketed under the brand name Triamazon. The licensing for this product in the UK is not accepted due to its enormous healing effects on the body and potential loss of profits for competing pharmaceutical cancer drugs.
    -
    This tree is low and is called graviola  in Brazil, guanabana in Spanish and has the uninspiring name “soursop” in English. The fruit is very large and the subacid sweet white pulp is eaten out of hand or, more commonly, used to make fruit drinks and sherbets.                     
    -
    Besides being a cancer remedy, graviola is a broad spectrum   antimicrobial agent for both bacterial and fungal infections, is   effective against internal parasites and worms, lowers high blood   pressure and is used for depression, stress and nervous disorders.                     
    -
    Deep within the Amazon Rainforest, this tree grows wild and could literally   revolutionize what you, your doctor, and the rest of the world thinks   about cancer treatment and chances of survival.
    -
    Research shows that with extracts from this miraculous tree it now may be possible to:
    -
    * Attack cancer safely and effectively with an all-natural therapy that does not cause extreme nausea, weight loss and hair loss
    * Protect your immune system and avoid deadly infections
    * Feel stronger and healthier throughout the course of the treatment
    * Boost your energy and improve your outlook on life
    -
    The source of this information is just as stunning: It comes from one of America’s largest drug manufacturers, the fruit of over 20 laboratory tests conducted since the 1970′s. What those tests revealed was nothing short of mind numbing … Extracts from the tree were shown to:
    -
    * Effectively target and kill malignant cells in 12 types of cancer, including colon, breast, prostate, lung and pancreatic cancer.
    * The tree compounds proved to be up to 10,000 times stronger in slowing the growth of cancer cells than Adriamycin, a commonly used chemotherapeutic drug! 
    * What’s more, unlike chemotherapy, the compound extracted from the Graviola tree selectively hunts  down and kills only cancer cells.  It does not harm healthy cells!
    -
    The amazing anti-cancer properties of the Graviola tree have been   extensively researched–so why haven’t you heard anything about it?
    -
    The drug industry began a search for a cancer cure and their research centered on Graviola, a legendary healing tree from the Amazon Rainforest. It turns out the drug company invested nearly seven years trying to synthesize two of the Graviola tree’s most powerful anti-cancer ingredients. If they could isolate and produce man-made clones of what makes the Graviola so potent, they’d be able to patent it and make their money back. Alas, they hit a brick wall. The original simply could not be replicated. There was no way the company could protect its profits or  even make back the millions it poured into research.
    -
    As the dream of huge profits evaporated, their testing on Graviola came to a screeching halt. Even worse, the company shelved the entire project and chose not to publish the findings of its research!

Cancer Research Fraud Destroys Mainstream Medical Cancer Industry!

  • Cancer Research Fraud Destroys Mainstream Medical Cancer Industry!
    by , http://naturalsociety.com/ 
    It’s fairly evident that corruption pervades many facets of our society in  this day and age, with profits driving major pharmaceutical companies and  various political objectives. But just how far does this type of fraud reach? It  seems that it extends as far as cancer research, with monetary incentives and  smudged scientific results shaking the very foundation of cancer research.  Recently, the Mayo Clinic determined that ten years worth of cancer research has  been made  useless due to such fraud.
    -
    The nature of the medical establishment today is unsettling, to say the  least. Doctors of all kinds have been trained to prescribe double-edged medical “solutions” to their patients, draining the finances of patients through  side-effect ridden pharmaceuticals and invasive surgeries. Mainstream medical  science is increasingly  being found to be fraudulent, but many still see doctors and medical  officials as ‘experts’ that can do no wrong.
    -
    The Entire Multi-Billion Dollar  Cancer Industry is Based on Fraudulent Cancer Research
    Particularly in regards to cancer research, many wealthy and poor individuals  alike offer generous donations to cancer research organizations, utterly  confident that their actions are the most noble. These individuals think that  they are funding the ‘cure’ for cancer, though they are simply funding a  multi-billion dollar ‘cancer industry machine’ that will never truly end the  disease — it is far too profitable.  Even as they produce results in ‘scientific studies,’ it is extremely important to analyze these studies and  what they are accomplishing.
    -
    Using the guise of ‘established’ medical science, these widely accepted  studies are disseminated through medical journals and accepted as the ultimate  authority by many. In the case of professor  Sheng Wang of Boston University School of Medicine Cancer Research Center,  his cancer research was found to be misconducted, fraudulent, and contain  altered results. What is unsettling is the fact that his research had been previously accepted and used as a cornerstone from which to base all  subsequent cancer research.

Chinese Plant Compound Wipes Out Cancer in 40 Days, Says New Research!

  • Chinese Plant Compound Wipes out Cancer in 40 Days, Says New Research
    by Anthony Gucciardi, Activist Post 
    A little-known plant with a truly bizarre name is now making headlines as a cancer killer, with the compound of the plant vanishing tumors in mice with pancreatic cancer. Known as the ‘thunder god vine’ or lei gong teng, the Chinese plant is actually integrated into Chinese medicine and has been used for ages in remedying a number of conditions including rheumatoid arthritis.
    -
    According to the new research out of the University of Minnesota’s Masonic Cancer Center, the thunder god plant compound led to no signs of tumors after a 40 day period — even after discontinuing the treatment. Published in the journal Science Translational Medicine and funded by the National Institutes of Health, even the scientists working on the project were stunned by the anti-cancer properties of the compound. Known to contain something known as triptolide, which has been identified as a cancer fighter in previous research, it is thought to be the key component that may be responsible for the anti-tumor capabilities.
    -
    Study leader and vice chairman of research at the Cancer Center explained to Bloomberg how he was blown away by the effects of the simple plant:
    -
    This drug is just unbelievably potent in killing tumor cells, he said.
    -
    And just like with numerous other powerful substances like turmeric and ginger, mainstream science is still slowly confirming what many traditional practitioners have known for their entire lives.
    -
    This is, of course, due to the fact that there is simply no money for major corporations in researching the healing powers of natural herbs and compounds such as the compound found in the thunder god vine. Turmeric and ginger, for example, have been found to be amazing anti-cancer substances that are virtually free compared to expensive and dangerous cancer drugs.
    -
    Nevertheless, the Big Pharma sponsored corporate scientists have managed to ignore these spices as much as possible. In fact, they have even been caught time and time again faking thousands of studies to fraudulently demonstrate the supposed value of pharmaceutical drugs pushed by major pharma juggernauts — many of which are later forced to pay millions in fines which only slightly stack up against their billions in profits.
    -
    Profits that are threatened by the many real studies that were performed by scientists examining the rejeuvenating power of cheap ingredients like turmeric, which has been found by peer-reviewed research available on PubMed to positively influence over 590 conditions.
    -
    While it is great news that this study is bringing the beneficial effects of inexpensive and near-free plant compounds to light, the bad news is that the individuals responsible for the research are actually looking to create a pharmaceutical drug from the essential component triptolide. A drug that will seek FDA approval and ultimately be patented, nutritionally ruined, and sold for exorbitant amounts of cash.
    -
    Instead, just get your hands on some thunder god vine for yourself.
