Cancer

[nvictor]

Everybody,

I'm looking for a book or an article, or medical document about cancer. Any kind... I have so much questions...

Like, is it true that microwaving food can cause cancer?
Is alcohol a cause of cancer?
Why are only grown-ups the most affected?

Tell me everything you know.

Thanks.

THe noble prize winner Otto warburg has conclusively proven that Hypoxia -Lack of cellular is the prime cause of cancer. Smoking irritates your lung and causes inflammation . Chronic inflammation induces cellular hypoxia which in return triggers the formation of cancerous cells ( from respiration to fermentation of sugar). But Smoking itself is not the prime cause . It's only the secondary cause as with other toxic chemicals. What's responsible for more than 90 % of the cancer cases (In the spirit of PARETO ANALYSIS ) ? Brian Peskin has suggested the runied polyunsaturated fats found in processed food, processed vegetable oil, overly heated food, grilled food and etc to be the ULTIMATE CULPRIT !

Read the following and let's discuss !

I think Dr Fuhrhan is wrong to suggest that Vegetable and fruits can significantly reduce the risk of contracting cancer .

Study: Fruit, Vegetables Useless Against Breast Cancer

If there is one vegetarian food that's highly effective for cancer prevention.
It's the polyunsaturated fats/mineral/protein rich seeds and nuts.

Does a diet rich in fruit and vegetables lower breast cancer risk? New research contradicts the results of earlier reports that suggested a protective benefit. The latest study, published in this week's JAMA, found no link between eating fruits and vegetables and a subsequent decreased risk for breast cancer, among hundreds of thousands of women.Carla H. van Gils, Ph.D., of the University Medical Center, Utrecht, the Netherlands, and colleagues examined how the intake of total and specific vegetable and fruit groups is related to breast cancer risk among participants in the European Prospective Investigation Into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) study, a large prospective collaboration project carried out in 10 European countries.

Largest-Ever Study of Diet's Role in Breast Cancer

This project, currently including 519,978 individuals, is the largest ever conducted specifically to investigate the relationship between diet and cancer. It includes participants living in countries from the north to the south of Europe, including a wide range of vegetables and fruits consumed.

For this study, the researchers examined data from 285,526 women between the ages of 25 and 70 years. Participants completed a dietary questionnaire in 1992-1998 and were followed up for incidence of cancer until 2002.

Nut consumption, vegetarian diets, ischemic heart disease risk, and all-cause mortality: evidence from epidemiologic studies -- Sabaté 70 (3): 500S -- American Journal of Clinical Nutrition

High fats (polyunsaturated ) nutrient rich Nuts reduce mortality of all causes (CANCER, HEART DISEASE, DIABETES AND ETC )

Frequency of nut consumption seems to be inversely related to all-cause mortality in several population groups (28–30). The reasons for this association are not entirely understood, but we presume that they largely reflect the decrease in IHD mortality. The protective effect of nut consumption on IHD is not offset by an increased mortality from cancer (28) or competing causes (25). Published data linking nut consumption to total mortality in California Seventh-day Adventist subpopulations are summarized in Table 3. Frequent nut consumption was associated with lower mortality in whites, blacks, and the elderly. Depending on the degree of adjustment and the population group, total mortality rates were lower, ranging from 18% to 44% in those consuming nuts 5 times/wk compared with infrequent consumers. Again, the effect of nuts on all-cause mortality seems to be independent of other risk factors and the potential confounding effect of vegetarian status or meat consumption. Thus, nut consumption may not only offer protection against IHD but may also increase longevity.

The "Race for the Cure" scam exposed: The cancer industry's guilt-powered shakedown of a gullible public

[escapee]

Very good proposal by Adam smith but not the best that i have seen.

Exercise enhances oxygenation ( but it doesnt stop Lance amstrong from getting prostate cancer ) .

Minerals are extremely important because there are the co-enzymes for various bodily functions which include the making of Hemoglobins (Iron) and strong red blood cells to transport oxygen.

Some herbs work wonder to chelate heavy metals or unwanted crap that can halt the intercellular oxygenation of cells

Avoiding harmful carcinogens is important as there just basically interrupt with all body functions (including cellular oxygenation )

Vitamin D (from sunshine) is a powerful anti inflammatory nutrient. Chronic inflammation ( lead to cellular hypoxia ) has been linked to cancer

However, Adam missed one critical recommendation that would guarantee cellular oxygenation - The almighty unaldulterated polyunsaturated fats ( Essential fatty acids ) - Omega 6 and Omega 3 - The fats that act as a OXYGEN MAGNET to trillion of cells . The fats that are essential to human but get destroyed through careless food processing ( Heat , air and light) .

Just 35% inhibition of cellular oxygen for a certain period of time ( ex 10 years ). Your cells become cancerous !! It's that simple .What's the best way to do that ? Just simply eat lots of deoxygenating trans fat or fat free high carb/sugar food and your cells are heading towards cancerous path. Remember Cancer was rare 100 Years ago.

Too Little Oxygen to the Cell
“We find by experiment about 35% inhibition of oxygen respiration already suffices to bring about such a transformation (CANCER) during cell growth.”28 By noble prize winner Otto warburg

In 1953 American physicians confirmed it was possible to prevent a “respiration impacted”precancerous cell from becoming permanently cancerous tissue IF oxygen deficiency was stopped early enough.
&

In 1955 American Physicians and scientists confirmed that intermittent cellular
oxygen deficiency leads to cancer, utilizing a brilliant experiment with tetanus

The differences between malignant and benign tumors are
differences in degree [of compromised respiration – DURATION
of lack of oxygen] rather than kind.


Note: It is important to understand that cancer cells use carbohydrate as their primary source of fuel. 6 “ For cancer, insulin [a response from carbohydrate consumption] is like pouring gasoline on a fire,’ says Pamela Goodwin, director of the Marvelle Koffler Breast Center at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto.”

Special fats called EFAs that food processing destroys
Our bodies require special fats that make it possible, among other important functions, for sufficient oxygen to reach the cells. These
special fats are highly oxygen-absorbing. Technically called “essential fatty acids,” or “EFAs,” these special fats must be supplied from
outside the body every day, from foods and certain oils, because your body can’t manufacture them on its own. There are 2 “parent”
forms of EFAs that allow your body to make whatever it needs from them called EFA “derivatives.” Parent omega-6 is termed linoleic
acid (LA) and parent omega-3 (ALA) is termed alpha-linolenic acid.

I actually found the full text of that journal article about the relationship between fruit and vegetable intake and breast cancer:

JAMA -- Consumption of Vegetables and Fruits and Risk of Breast Cancer, January 12, 2005, van Gils et al. 293 (2): 183

It is almost disturbing. It seems like a no-brainer that a higher intake would lead to a lower risk, but that isn't what they concluded. Maybe the biggest thing is just not having no intake. I don't know, I wish someone could explain this to me.


Also I wanted to comment on your question 'Why are only grown-ups the most affected?' Now, I'm no expert by any means, but I have read a bit about genetics. I think the reason is that as our cells divide, they have a tendency to mutate and mutations cause cancer. As the genetic data keeps getting passed around, like a game of telephone, it gets more and more unstable, so the older you are, the more likely you are to have these harmful mutations. One of the most interesting things that I have read about is the Telomere, which from what I understand, simply acts a buffer in the DNA. It was explained as the border around a sheet of paper. If you put that paper through a copy machine, sometimes the copies are misaligned. The border, which is useless whitespace, acts as the buffer. It also has something to do with cancer, but I don't know enough to explain it:

Telomere

Fruits contain virtually no EFAs. Vegetable's EFAs are not bioavalaible for human being because our digestive system is not equipped with the right enzyme like ruminant to break down the cellulose to extract the fatty acids.

Like i have previously posted , It's the miraculous EFAs found in unprocessed nuts ( walnuts, cashew ...) and seeds ( flax, grape, primrose, sesame ...) that should be the frontline against the top three killers of the world ( Cancer, CVD and Diabetes )


Grape seed extract halts colorectal cancer

What medicine does MIKE ADAMs ( the expert ) refer to and he doesnt even know it ?

"Grape seeds contain miraculous medicines for protecting the human body from heart disease and cancer," said Mike Adams, author of "The Seven Laws of Nutrition." "But guess what's been removed from all the grapes sold at grocery stores: the seeds, of course. Luckily, healthy consumers know to buy grapes with seeds, then chew and swallow the seeds."

Grape seed extract - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Oil pressed from grape seeds is used as a dietary supplement. It contains a relatively high percentage of linoleic acid, which belongs to a group of nutrients known as essential fatty acids (EFAs).

To answer the question about the role of Gene mutation on cancer

Regarding the huge effort to explain cancer with genetics, Dr. Robert A. Weinberg of M.I.T., discoverer of the so-called oncogene
(cancer-causing genes), and one of the world’s leading cancer researchers, reversed his conclusions after discovering that, “[F]ewer
than one DNA base in a million appears to have been miscopied.” It’s not enough of a defect!6 His exact words, “…Something was
very wrong. The notion that a cancer developed through the successive activation of a series of oncogenes [cancer-causing genes]
had lost its link to reality.” Dr. Weinberg reversed his opinion; calling the genetic discoveries made thus far, “sterile”—the prime cause
of cancer is therefore not “genetic.” This was in 998. Did you hear it? Probably not. In 2006, the heads of the world’s largest cancer
research center in Houston, Texas (USA) know cancer’s prime cause isn’t genetic: “‘If it could have happened [solving cancer with
genetics], it would have already happened with genetic mutations,’ said William Brinkley, a senior vice-president at Baylor who says
other research should take precedence over the cancer genome project…. Dr. John Mendelsohn [president of M.D. Anderson Cancer
Center] states, ‘Any claims that this [genetic research] is going to be the key to curing cancer are not appropriate.’” Thus, the prime
cause of cancer is not a genetic mutation.

Warburg's hypothesis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Warburg articulated this hypothesis (meanwhile named 'Warburg's hypothesis') as a paper entitled The Prime Cause and Prevention of Cancer which he presented in lecture at the meeting of the Nobel-Laureates on June 30, 1966 at Lindau, Lake Constance, Germany. In this speech, Warburg presented evidence in support of the claim that anaerobiosis was a primary cause of cancerous cells. Put in his own words, "the prime cause of cancer is the replacement of the respiration of oxygen in normal body cells by a fermentation of sugar." [1]

In recent years, Warburg's hypothesis re-gained significant attention amongst scientists due to several discoveries linking impaired mitochondrial function as well as impaired respiration to growth, division and expansion of cancer cells. Warburg's hypothesis was essentially confirmed by Michael Ristow's lab by demonstrating that various cancer cells almost completely lose their ability to grow and to form tumors simply by re-instating mitochondrial respiration. Subsequent work has shown that this observation, indeed, might be a promising approach in the treatment of cancer

PubMed Home

The hallmarks of cancer growth, increased glycolysis and lactate production in tumors, have raised attention recently due to novel observations suggesting a wide spectrum of oxidative phosphorylation deficits and decreased availability of ATP associated with malignancies and tumor cell expansion. The most recent findings suggest that forcing cancer cells into mitochondrial metabolism efficiently suppresses cancer growth, and that impaired mitochondrial respiration may even have a role in metastatic processes.

Vegetable - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vegetable is a culinary term which generally refers to an edible part of a plant. The definition is traditional rather than scientific and is somewhat arbitrary and subjective. All parts of herbaceous plants eaten as food by humans, whole or in part, are normally considered vegetables. Mushrooms, though belonging to the biological kingdom fungi, are also commonly considered vegetables. In general, vegetables are thought of as being savory, and not sweet, although there are many exceptions. Nuts, grains, herbs, spices and culinary fruits (see below) are normally not considered vegetables.
