Cancer Prevention Diet

For a simple cancer diet the smart people follow certain guidelines. These guidelines are based on the Trophoblast Theory of Cancer** the longest surviving theory of cancer, and never disproved. It states that cancer is the failure of the pancreas to stop the fast growing trophoblast cells used in chronic healing.

• Limit your intake of grains and high sugar foods.
• If you intend to eat high sugar foods, eat them first (yes, eat dessert first). This way the enzymes needed to fully digest the sugar will not be all used up by the time you get to your dessert. If sugar is not full digested, it will reach the yeast in your intestines in an undigested form and cause the yeast to multiply causing or increasing candida.
• Avoid hard to digest proteins (such as meat) in the evening.
• Consider taking pancreatic enzymes.
• Stop eating processed foods

The top four of the above guidelines help your pancreas in a minor way. For ten years, I searched for something to significantly support the pancreas, but didn't find anything until now:

Bios Life Slim Supports the Pancreas

Strict Cancer Diets

For a strict preventative diet, see the Cancer Diets and ph page. All diets in that section also function as cancer prevention.

Regenerative and Cleansing Foods and Teas

If you know a bit about Chinese medicine, you know that it can taste awful, but can work miracles where other medicines fail. The awful taste usually comes from the leaves of the herbs, but not necessarily from the compounds and enzymes that your body needs. Finally a company, Sunrider has figured out how to remove the most powerful healing properties of these herbs and make them into teas and foods without that terrible taste. You can have the benefits of these powerful herbs everyday.

Sunrider makes a tea, Calli that when drunk on a daily basis performs a gentle and continues detox. It does this through brilliant nutrition (herbs and enzymes) that supports the bodies natural detox functions. Calli is delicious hot or cold when combined with their stevia. I never liked the idea of most detoxes because as soon as you finish the detox, more toxins start to buildup. I drink the Sunrider tea all day every day; it is my new water. I live in a community of healers. Every healer who has tasted this tea has the same reaction; their eyes light up and they want more. These teas and foods* are expensive, but a good discount* is available and one Calli tea bag makes 32 ounces of tea. So maybe it is not that expensive.

Protein Timing

Nutritionally aware people eat high protein foods especially slow digesting meat only during breakfast and lunch. When this is strictly observed the pancreatic enzymes, used in digestion of protein, are used for only about 6 hours. This leaves 18 hours for production of pancreatic enzymes to digest cancer tissue. To learn about the theory behind cancer and pancreatic enzymes see the The Pancreas is the Key to Cancer section below.

Help Your Pancreas

Foods that contain Laetrile have been removed from our diet. Laetrile helps your pancreas by killing the fast growing healing cells that have gotten out of control. Mong bean noodles are the easiest way to get Laetrile into your diet. You can purchase them in Asian food stores. They taste good with chicken broth cubes or liquid (stock).

Can't Stop Eating?

There is a substance in many processed foods that appears to be a natural sweetener, High Fructose Corn syrup. It is not natural although the chemical process used to manufacture it does start with corn. It is the most clever product of the food industry because it blocks the process in most people's body that feels them that they are satisfied for food. There is a certain type of body chemistry for which High Fructose Corn Syrup does not have this effect. These people are almost always slender. So, if you are very hungry and eat something that contains High Fructose Corn Syrup, no matter how much you eat of any food, you will not feel satisfied and you will over eat.

Avoid Soy

A high-protein diet including animal protein and animal fat helps your body rebuild as it removes tumor mass. The only food that contains a complete protein is meat. If you object to eating meat, you can eat eggs, but avoid soy beans. The high level of phytic acid they contain prevents the body from absorbing minerals. This results in degraded nutrition. A cancer patient must the best nutrition in order to support the body's anti-cancer functions.

Foods to Purchase Organic

Some fruits and vegetables have a much higher level of chemical residue than others. These are the best foods to purchase organic. In order of the highest residue of chemicals first:

Peaches (the most pesticide infused food)
Apples
Bell Peppers
Celery: Rating
Nectarines
Strawberries
Cherries
Pears
Grapes (imported)
Spinach
Lettuce
Potatoes

Also in need of organic but not as much: carrots, green beans, cucumbers, raspberries, domestic grapes, and oranges.

Stop Eating Processed Foods

Myung-Haing Cho, D.V.M., Ph.D., and his colleagues studied mice with lung cancer tumors for four weeks. The rodents were randomly assigned to eat a diet of either 0.5 or 1.0 percent phosphate, a range roughly equivalent to what's found in most modern human diets that contain processed foods. At the end of the study period, the animals' lung tissues were analyzed to see what effects the inorganic phosphates had on tumors.

"Our results clearly demonstrated that the diet higher in inorganic phosphates caused an increase in the size of the tumors and stimulated growth of the tumors," Dr. Cho said in a statement to the press. "Our study indicates that increased intake of inorganic phosphates strongly stimulates lung cancer development in mice, and suggests that dietary regulation of inorganic phosphates may be critical for lung cancer treatment as well as prevention."

The Best Prevention

Even conventional doctors agree that emotional damage often results in cancer. Even simple anger if habitual can cause cancer and many other diseases. Why not learn how to remove the damage of negative emotions before they cause disease?

If emotions are the most common cancer cause, EFT is the best preventative.

Prove the Emotional Freedom Techniques this way:

1. Focus on the negative feeling.
2. Ask yourself, “How do I feel about the traffic on the way home or whatever the negative emotional issue.
3. When you have located this feeling and truly feel its intensity, give it a number from 1 to 10 with 10 being the worst possible feeling.
4. Record the number.
5. Perform the Emotional Freedom Techniques.
6. Repeat steps one to three. Feel the difference?

Cancer Proofing

Although both Cantron and Protocel have the same ingredients and can be used for cancer proofing, the Cantron manufacturer refunds your money even if you use the majority of the bottle and Protocel will not refund your money if the bottle is even open. Therefore, "Cantron" is used in this section even though using "Cantron or Protocel" would be just as valid.

How Cantron Starves Viruses and Cancer Cells

Cantron works by reducing the ATP energy (adenosine triphosphate) in each cell of your body. However, Cantron can only accomplish this in about half the people who use Cantron properly*. This ATP energy reduction has the effect of preventing cancer cells and viruses from getting energy (food) needed to survive. The viruses that have shown susceptibility to this reduction are: cold, flu, herpes and AIDS viruses.

* A study performed by this webmaster showed that 30% of the people using Cantron used it incorrectly. The most common mistake is that people took pills which contained vitamin C. For a list of vitamins and supplements that should not be taken with Cantron, see the "Compatibility" section of the Cantron page.

How to Cancer Proof

If Cantron works against a person's viruses, it stands to reason that it will work against cancer cells in that person's body. Cantron works for about half the people who use it correctly. People who want to find out if Cantron will work on their viruses:

1. Carefully read the Cancel Protocols for Viruses* page before going to the Alternative Cancer Treatment Manufacturers* page for contacting the manufacturer.
2. Order the small (8 ounce) size of Cantron.
3. When they suspect a cold or flu is coming, they start taking Cantron, and follow the instructions in the Dosage and Ease of Use* section of the Cantron page.

If Cantron greatly reduces your virus symptoms and reduces the length of time they persist, Cantron (or Protocel) is likely to work on cancer in your body.

When some people discover they have a virus coming on, they take one dose of Cantron and go to bed. For people with less strong immune systems, Cantron may need to be taken for about three days although a reduction in symptoms should be observed within a few hours of the first dose.

Cost
The small size of Cantron costs about $60. That is a bit of money, but a family of four is likely to have two people who will discover a general viral treatment and a safe cancer treatment. All four will have a powerful antioxidant for daily use. Cantron is now available in pill form, $99 for 180 capsules, one dose is one capsule.

Cantron for Prevention

Cantron can be taken once or twice a day as a conventional antioxidant. However, when taken this way it will not have its usually anti-cancer or anti-viral action; it will simple act as a powerful antioxidant.

Easiest Prevention

The easiest thing to help prevent cancer is to take off your glasses (sunglasses, prescription glasses, contacts) and wear a hat when you are outside. This is based on the most effective cancer treatment even tested, sunlight. If you are concerned about UV damage, just keep direct sunlight out of your eyes, wear a hat. Sunglasses are only needed for driving, snow fields, and when on the water. See the Sunlight section for more information.

Humor Has an Immediate Symptom Relieving Effect

Cancer is a debilitating disease of the emotions not just the body. Its seriousness can't be overestimated. Without disregarding this seriousness, consider the power of humor. In 1989, the Journal of the American Medical Association published a study that showed that laughter therapy has an immediate symptom-relieving effect. However, finding a reliable, reusable source of laugh-out-loud humor is difficult. This book of 170 pages of concisely written jokes, 15 yeas of collecting, is the solution.

Smokers Rejoice with this $130 Cigarette that Saves You $$$

If you have been unable to quit tobacco, relax. You can still eliminate this number one cause of cancer from your life. The tar in cigarettes causes cancer not the nicotine. The following method of "smoking" induces no known carcinogens into your body or the environment. It is more satisfaying than nicotine gum whose effect is too gradual because the transfer area (your tongue) is much smaller and slower than your lungs. The InLife rechargeable cigarette device allows you to puff away in your office even in restaurants without imposing on others. You exhale water vapor. Puff away without that after-smoking cotton mouth or lingering cigarette smell. Comes in three flavors: regular, menthol, and cherry and four nicotine levels. Requires a small cartridge which lasts about as long as a pack of cigarettes and costs about $1 less (30% volume discount also available). In August 09, a new size was introduced, a 4-pack of 8 cartridge packs for the low price of  $80. Read about a man who did everything right including going to electronic ciarrettes and had a remission in two weeks*. To eliminate the tobacco causing cancer risk go to the InLife web site**. (Place your mouse over the videos to control sound or halt the presentation.)

All Smart Smokers Take Vitamin A

Elevated level of Vitamin A has demonstrated a three fold reduction in the instance of lung cancer. You would have to eat a truck load of carrots to get this reduction, but supplemental vitamin A is easily available and reasonably priced.

Mammography and Mammograms

This section presents evidence concerning the dangers and short comings of mammograms and presents a couple of alternatives for breast cancer detection.

X-Ray Dangers

Dr. John Gofman, M.D., Ph. D. who was the biomedical director and associate director of the Atomic Energy Commission's Livermore National Laboratory and is now Professor Emeritus, Molecular and Cell Biology, at the University of California, Berkeley and is also on the faculty at the University of California Medical School at San Francisco (UCSF), has written an extensive study** to support his hypothesis that medical radiation is probably the principal cause of cancer mortality in the United States.

I would like to thank Dianne Jacobs Thompson of Truth Quest 2** for bringing this information to my attention.

The Moss report Mammograpy - the Hidden Downside** presents and often overlooked aspect of mammograms:

"Mammography is undoubtedly good at picking up slow-growing cancers. It is also good at detecting so-called 'in situ' lesions, that is, the latent, pre-cancerous lesions that have not yet developed – and might never develop - into truly invasive cancers. But these are not the kinds of breast cancer that are most likely to kill. That distinction belongs to the faster-growing tumors, and it is precisely these faster growing malignancies that mammography typically fails to catch."

Also quoted in this Moss Report, Prof. Samuel Epstein, MD, of the University of Illinois pointed out:

"Even assuming that high quality screening of a population of women between the ages of 50 and 69 would reduce breast cancer mortality by up to 25 percent, yielding a reduced relative risk of 0.75, the chances of any individual woman benefiting are remote. For women in this age group, about 4 percent are likely to develop breast cancer annually, about one in four of whom, or 1 percent overall, will die from this disease. Thus, the 0.75 relative risk applies to this 1 percent, so 99.75 percent of the women screened are unlikely to benefit" (Epstein 2001).

Low Level X-Ray Mammograms

New digital imaging has allowed clinics to reduce the amount of radiation by 80% for mammograms. A number of clinics are offering Digital Mammograms such as SimonMed Imaging serving these areas in Arizona: Avondale, Sun City West, Glendale, Central Phoenix, Desert Ridge, Scottsdale, Fiesta Mall, East Mesa, Chandler, and Gilbert. However, digital imaging has produced more false positives than film mammograms. It seem that thermograms followed by an ultrasound, if so indicated, is the safest and most reliable testing method.

Digital image machines made by companies like GE (models 2000D, 2000DS, or the Senographe) are becoming available around the country.

Under Construction - additional clinics that provide digital imaging.

Stop Cell Phones and Other Electromagnetic Pollution

Electromagnetic pollution is not limited to the cell phone near your body. The full spectrum of frequencies of all of the electromagnetic signals in your area go through every cell in your body all day. These signals include the electromagnetic power from (not a complete list):

• Every TV station transmitter
• Every AM, FM, and short wave radio station
• Police and fire dispatch radio transmitters
• All CB transmitters such as taxi dispatch
• Electricity lines on poles in the street and in the walls of your house
• Satellite transmitters such a Direct TV, SIRIUS Satellite Radio...
• All cell phones* and cell phone tower transmitters sending signals back to cell phones
• All Wi-Fi networks within range

Ordering Information

Harmful?
Any one who can muscle test knows that a cell phone is harmful. For those who don't know how to muscle test, it is easy to find the results of studies on electromagnetic pollution. A short Google search will probably yield you a controversy, but if you look closely, you will find this information:

In the early 1980s, the United States Navy conducted very well funded studies, spending about 100 million dollars. The results of their studies, showed that exposure to electromagnetic pollution resulted in altering the behavior of cells, tissues, organs and organisms; altered hormone levels, altered cell chemistry, altered immune processes, affected calcium ion bonding in cells, modified human brain waves, caused defects in chick embryos, and caused sterility in male animals.

People have a misconception that if a radio isn't tuned to the station, you can't get the signal. I have 20 years experience as an electrical engineer working on radar transmitters (radio wave penetration) and receivers and scanning radio receivers. I am intimately familiar with the ever increasing electromagnetic environment we live in. An incredible wide range of electromagnetic radio waves go through our body 24 hours a day.

A three inch by 1/8 inch antenna in your cell phone receives enough power to reproduce a complex message. We are about six feet by two feet, we receive that much more power (cross-section area determines exposure). My conclusion: we are 100 to 200 pounds of meat in a slow cooking microwave oven. It is having a constant, long term effect on our health and the new digital signals are much worse.

Digital Signals Are Worse
A doctor I know set up a local Wi-Fi network in his house so he and his wife could work on their computers without running network cables all over. When he turned on the transmitter for the Wi-Fi, his wife immediately developed arrhythmia. He is a cardiologist so he knows for sure what it was. He turned off the Wi-Fi and her arrhythmia stopped. This increased ill effect of digital signals is most likely due to the sharp edge of the square wave where the differential of the change of the signal approaches infinity.

Power Lines
From Electrical & EMF Pollution & Potential Human Effects by Kathryn Wilson, ND, MI, QBS, BS Psy: There is a concern that a magnetic field greater than two milliGauss (mG.) causes cancer. In 1979, a report was published by epidemiologist Nancy Wertheimer and physicist Ed Leeper. They reached the conclusion that children who died from cancer were two to three times more likely to have lived within forty metres (130 feet) of a power transmission line. Another study noted that children living near power lines emitting a 4 mG EMF and a 500% increase in lymphomas, brain tumors and childhood leukemia. View the complete 16 page report, free.

Protection Pendants

Energy Medicine pendents for specific conditions including cancer *

This is a serious problem so we need the best possible protection something that can be with us at every moment. There is good protection available and it helps you in many ways. Watch this video (in a new browser window) for a demonstration of how a Universal Balance protection pendant (also known as a ell phone protection pendant) will increase your strength and balance (click the picture). After the video, close that browser window to return here.

Click the picture to see a demonistation

I have searched for years for a good protection device and Universal Balance pendant is the best by far. Not only is it a protector, it also contains healing frequencies. It increases your strength, balance, vibration and voltage. Those of you who know how to muscle test can test its ability to neutralize the weakening effect of cell phones and other transmitting devices. I am proud to be a distributor and can pass on a 10% discount to you. Its protection and healing effects do not diminish with time.

Cost
At $90 ( for the plain pendants) the Universal Balance pendants are probably the most cost efficient health products you can buy. Compare them to the popular ZeroPoint pendants (which I believe are not as powerful) at $159. For only $90 you can defeat the ill effects of the hundreds of $300 cell phones around you and all the other transmitting devices plus infuse your body with healing frequencies and it never wears out. Don't let the small size fool you; this is a real healing bargain. There is also a jewelry version for $270, see the pictures below.

Each pendant comes with a thick black cord, but you can use any chain or just put it into your pocket. It does work a bit better when it touches your skin. The pendant is 1 9/16 inches in diameter and weighs 1.0 ounces.

Other Energy Medicine Jewelry

Antioxidants

Even the FDA has agreed that antioxidants act as cancer preventatives. Cantron and Protocel are among the most powerful antioxidants ever tested so they can be used as a preventative. When taking them as a preventative, a reduced schedule can be used and a person does not have to avoid all the things that interfere with Cantron or Protocel.

Pesticides in the Home

The pesticides diethylthiophosphate (DETP) and diethyldithiophosphate (DEDTP) were found to produce a 200% increase in the instance of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Consider using cleaver pesticides such as Diatomaceous Earth. To keep pests outside in dry areas, allow an outside faucet (hose bib) to very slowly drip. The best way to do that is to:

1. Install a "Y" that has a valve on each of the two outputs.
2. Adjust one of the outputs to very slowly drip.
3. Only use the other output for your other outdoor water needs.

The Pancreas is the Key to Cancer

To better understand cancer, visit the Trophoblast Theory of Cancer** web site. This theory has never been disproved and leads to simple cancer prevention. In a nut shell, the pancreas plays a critical role in the treatment of healing of chronic injury such as the long term damage due to smoking or toxins. Cancer first appeared when our diet started to include sugar and increased carbohydrates. The connection is the pancreas and its duel roles:

• Balance the blood sugar levels which have been greatly increased due to increased carbohydrates and sugar.
• Produce the compounds that destroy the fast growing healing cells used in chronic healing.

When the pancreas is over stressed and undernourished it can't keep up with its job of destroying the fast growing healing cells. When these fast growing cells get out of control, the result is a tumor. Smart people help their pancreas by taking pancreatic enzymes such as Wobenzym. Most people purchase Wobenzym on the web from The Wobenzym Place** The dosage for Wobenzym can vary tremendously. I suggest you talk to the Wobenzym expert Charles Green of The Wobenzym Place at: 1-800-588-8139 You can also purchase Wobenzym from Web Vitamins**.

Prostate Cancer

This section regarding conventional and alternative prostate treatment and prevention including the green laser, curcumin, and beta sitosterol has been moved to:

The Prostate Cancer Treatment and Prevention Page

Cancer Preventing Supplements

The following seven subsections describe supplements that people are successfully using as preventatives. The list does not include vitamin D3. and vitamin C both of which have their own sections on this web page.

Curcumin to Prevent Everything

Curcumin has been used as a preventative for:

It is also used to prevent and treat inflammatory. It has been as a topical anti-cancer paste. Available in many dosage sizes including 60 capsules of 800 mg each from Life Extension for $16.

Zeolite

This is a safe heavy metal detox that some credit for curing their cancer.  Heavy metals can cause the chronic healing sites that cause cancer so it becomes important for everyone to assure themselves that they don’t have excessive heavy metal present in their body.  Things do get complicated since heavy metal testing is more expensive than Zeolite.  Some people who decide to use Cantron or Protocel forgo the test for these reasons:

• The test can take more than a week.
• They can obtain Zeolite at most health food stores
• It is not known if Zeolite interferes with Cantron or Protocel so taking it while they wait for the Cantron or Protocel seems like a timely way to proceed.

Paw Paw and Graviola

Paw Paw and Graviola are not good cancer preventatives since, if there are no cancer cells or parasites that Paw Paw or Graviola can work on, they may target some other high ATP energy cells which are functioning properly.

Ellagic Acid

Ellagic acid is a good preventative for these cancers:

For dosage, see the Dosage and Ease of Use section of the Ellagic Acid page.

Other Preventatives from the Comparison Table

For dosage information, see the Comparison table. All the numbers under the "Ease of Use" column link to sections containing dosage information.

IP6 the Japanese Iron Chelator

IP6 sometimes written IP-6, is also known as inositol hexophosphate or phytic acid. is usually extracted from rice bran although it exists in a number of plants. IP6 removes iron from cancer cells. This deprives cancer cells of their growth factor.  IP6 does not remove iron from red blood cells. IP6 removes excessive copper which tumors use to build new blood supplies.  It also removes mercury, cadmium, and lead.  It does not remove beneficial minerals such as potassium and magnesium. There have been many studies that conclusively prove IP6 is an cancer fighting agent. People who suspect that they have a heavy metal problem often take IP-6, but the smart folks are getting hair mineral analysis* to determine their heavy metal load.

Toxicity studies have shown that a daily dose of 9000 mg of IP-6 for 3 years did not produce harmful side effects. Click here to view a Google Shopping* comparison of 800 mg pills.

It is suspected that IP-6 conflicts with Cantron, Paw Paw and Protocel due to its possible ATP increasing action.

Ginkgo Reduces Ovarian Cancer Risk

Daniel William Cramer, MD, ScD, and a professor of obstetrics at Harvard Medical School, Boston presented the results of a study of 1,389 women at an American Association for Cancer Research meeting. Which showed that the recommended dose of Ginkgo taken for six months reduced the risk of ovarian cancer by at least 60%. Ginkgo also has well know benifits for mental processes.

Warning: Ginkgo may interact with blood thinners such as aspirin and warfarin.

Cooked Foods Increase Cancer in Women - Acrylamide

A 2007 Dutch study, the Cohort Study involving 120,000 people found that acrylamide, a chemical caused by frying, baking, roasting, or grilling can double the chances of women getting ovarian and womb cancer.  Even potato chips which appear to be only lightly cooked contain significant amounts of acrylamide. Foods that are cooked less contain less acrylamide. Cutting the crust of of bread reduces the number of carbos and acrylamide. Home-cooked meals contain much lower amounts of the acrylamide than processed products, fast food, or restaurant food.

Safe Cooker - Solar Oven

The Solar Oven Society** is a not-for-profit organization. Every solar oven purchased in the USA helps offset the cost of sending solar ovens to Third World countries where the need for solar cooking is so great. Solar cooking is: Safe because the temperature used kills bacteria but does not form acrylamide Inexpensive because after the $150 oven purchase the fuel is free. Healthy because it retains the enzymes in food which are essential for good health Helps prevent rape by reducing the amount of wood women in depressed countries need to look for.

Click here to purchase the oven for $150 including shipping** (free shipping is significant, only companies that rarely get a return include shipping in the cost because they must refund shipping as well as the product cost).

Lotions Potions and Parabens

Parabens are preservatives that are found in most body lotions, deodorants, and shampoos.  In 2004 the University of Reading tested 20 human breast tumors for the presence of parabens. They found parabens in every tumor. Apparently parabens had seeped into breast tissue after being applied to the skin in the form of lotions or deodorants.  The reason this is significant is that parabens are able to mimic the action of the female hormone estrogen. Although more research is needed it seems prudent to reduce your exposure to parabens. Also 1,4-Dioxane, a by-product of short cut manufacturing, is considered a chemical known to cause cancer. The following are parabens and 1,4-Dioxane free brands of lotion: Aubrey Organics, Dr. Hauschka, Nourish Food for Your Healthy Skin, EO, Avalon Organics, Burt's Bees, Desert Essence, and Zia.

Cars Cause Cancer

Car interior parts emit Benzene, a cancer causing toxin that poisons your bones, causes anemia and reduces white blood cells. Prolonged exposure may cause Leukemia, miscarriages and affects your kidney and liver. What's worse, it is extremely difficult for your body to expel this from your body.  Acceptable Benzene level indoors is 50 mg per sq. ft.. A car parked indoors with windows closed will contain 400-800 mg of Benzene. If parked outdoors under the sun at a temperature above 60 degrees F, the Benzene level goes up to 2000-4000 mg, 40 times the acceptable level. People who get into the car, keeping windows closed will inevitably inhale, in quick succession, excessive amounts of Benzene.

So friends:

• Keep your windows cracked when parked outside. When you return to your car, open the driver door, walk around the car and open the passenger door, slowly walk back to the driver side, get in after a moment, open the windows, and then reach over and close the passenger door.
• Open your windows when parked in your garage.

Healthy Sun Screens

The best sunscreen is a hat with a brim. Our faces and arms get the most sunlight and is the site of most skin cancer. Wearing a hat and long-sleeve shirts is a much better sun protection than most sun screens.

Generally, the lower the SPF the more healthy the sun screen. The most healthy sun screens:

• Alba Botanica Dry Tanning Oil SPF 4, contains certified organic coconut oil, shea butter and vitamin E 100% vegetarian ingredients. Paraben free. EU Cosmetics Directive Compliant. Vegan.

Sunlight Contrary to popular belief, sunlight has the highest success rate for:

• Safely stopping tumor growth, not destroying tumors (the only effect that conventional medicine recognizes), but stopping growth.
• Preventing cancer by stimulating the body's vitamin D production.
• Preventing influenza like the bird flu also by vitamin D production.

Fair skin and the number of moles are the major risk factor for melanoma (skin cancer), not sunlight overexposure. The details are in the next subsection just below, but first read about the healing effect of sunlight:

In 1959. Jane C Wright, directing cancer research at Bellevue Memorial Medical Center in New York City, instructed fifteen cancer patients to stay outdoors as much as possible that summer in natural sunlight without wearing their glasses, particularly without sunglasses and avoid florescent lights (like the lights in every hospital room) and television. By that Autumn, the tumors in 14 of 15 had not grown, and some patients had gotten better. It was discovered that the one patient that didn’t have good results had not fully understood the instructions - while she had not worn sunglasses, she had continued to wear her prescription glasses. This blocking of UV into her eyes was enough to stop the benefits enjoyed by the other fourteen.

Indirect Sunlight Into the Eyes Guidelines
You really can't get enough of this type of light.  Sitting in a screen enclosed porch would be the minimum exposure and would require three times the duration to get the same effect as walking in full sunlight.  Walking in full sunlight might only require one hour to get full benefit.  Wearing a hat with a brim in bright direct sunlight should be sufficient UV protection.  The UV problem for eyes is greatly over exaggerated to sell sunglasses which, like sunscreens, should be used sparingly. See the Healthy Sun Screens section above.

No Association between Melanoma and UV Exposure
From the February 2006 Newsletter of the Vitamin D Council**
A large, multi-center European study, involving 1200 people, "found no association between melanoma and risk factors related to UV exposure such as sunbed use, sunbathing, or number of weeks of holidays in sunny areas." In fact, the authors found sunbed use was associated with a small decreased risk for melanoma! They also found that sun bathing and sunburns were not associated with melanoma. Fair skin and the number of moles were the major risk factor for melanoma, not sunshine. They even found some evidence of decreasing risk with increasing sunbed use, concluding "The observed decrease in risk (of melanoma) with increasing use (of sunbeds) suggest either a protective effect or could be explained by recall bias with cases under reporting their true exposure."
Eur J Cancer. 2005 Sep;41(14):2141-9

Vitamin D for Cancer Prevention and More

In the 15 June 2005 issue of Cancer Research , the researchers, at Northern California Cancer Center found that men with high sun exposure had half the risk of prostate cancer than did men with low sun exposure.

From the Vitamin D Council web site: "Most people know about vitamin D and calcium absorption. However, few are aware of the recent research on vitamin D and the widening range of therapeutic applications available for vitamin D, which can be classified as both a vitamin and a pro-hormone." After reading the amazing preventative rates of vitamin D, look at the information below regarding sitting in the sun or taking vitamin D pills. There is a big difference.

Vitamin D Prevent Cancer Prevention Rates

With the discovery of vitamin D receptors in tissues other than the gut and bone-especially the brain, breast, prostate, and lymphocytes-and the recent research suggesting that higher vitamin D levels provide protection from diabetes mellitus, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, depression, several autoimmune diseases, and cancers of the breast, prostate, and colon, we can now utilize vitamin D for a wider range of preventive and therapeutic applications to maintain and improve health. Reference: Holick MF. Vitamin D: importance in the prevention of cancers, type 1 diabetes, heart disease, and osteoporosis. Am J Clin Nutr. 2004;79(3):362-71.

** Breast Cancer Reduced 50% **
Based on the 1,760 records of individuals and combining the results of multiple studies vitamin D reduces the risk of breast cancer 50%. This study was published in February 2007 by the Moores Cancer Center at University of California, San Diego. Read the full article on the UCSD News Center. This article even established a dosage, "The serum level associated with a 50 percent reduction in risk could be maintained by taking 2,000 international units of vitamin D daily plus, when the weather permits, spending 10 to 15 minutes a day in the sun."

If you want to stop tumors from growing, remember to take off your glasses when sitting in the sun. This is based on the study reported in the Sunlight section above.

** Colon Cancer Reduced 66% **
On the same study as above, the instance of colon was reduced by 66%.

Sitting in the Sun is Free
It only takes 10 to 15 minutes of sitting in the sun.

The federal daily recommended dose of 400 UI has been strongly criticized as being ridiculously low. Based on the above studies, it surely is.

60% Reduction of All Cancers
Starting in 2000 Creighton University in Nebraska ran a four year study of 1179 women 55 years or older. Participants received 1500 mg of calcium and 1100 IU of vitamin D3 or placebos.  The group receiving the real calcium and vitamin D had 60% less incidence of all types of cancer. More details can be found in this Canadian online news service.

Prostate Cancer PSA Numbers Lowered
In some cases of prostate cancer, vitamin D has reduced PSA numbers. [Nutrition Cancer 51:32-6, 2005]

Vitamin D Pills Disadvantage

If you don't get any sun on your skin you would most likely need to take 5,000 IU per day of vitamin D in pill form. There is some concern over the difficulty of detecting supplemental (Pill) over-dose. Excessive oral vitamin D can cause:

• Nausea
• Constipation
• Kidney failure
• Calcification of arteries
• Weight loss
• Weakness in the muscles
• Poor appetite
• Weakness
• Mental confusion
• Abnormalities in heart rhythms*

* Due to an increase of calcium in the blood.

It can take months to recover from excess vitamin D. This makes sunlight the preferred method of sustaining healthy levels of vitamin D in your body. When a body obtains enough vitamin D through sunlight exposure, a tan occurs which blocks vitamin D production. Now that you are forewarned, you can see a Google list of 5000 ui vitamin D pills here**.

Testing Your Vitamin D Level
Healthy vitamin D blood levels are between 50-80 ng/ml. The only reliable blood test to determine your vitamin D level is the 25-hydroxy-vitamin D test (also called a 25(OH)D test). The 1,25-di-hydroxy-vitamin D test is not considered accurate by the Vitamin D Council**.

In a Jan. 27, 2008 article in Science Daily titled, Vitamin D Deficiency Study Raises New Questions About Disease And Supplements** Trevor Marshall, Ph.D., professor at Australia’s Murdoch University School of Biological Medicine and Biotechnology claimed to have found that nominal doses of ingested vitamin D can suppress the proper operation of the immune system. However, there is no study or lab work to support this statement. Narshall simply wrote an essay which was made to sound like real research by Science Daily. You can read a reply to Marshall's writing by John Cannell, MD, of The Vitamin D Council.

If You Are Going to Get Too Much Sunlight
Most sun screens are toxic.  For the best in sun screens, go the the Healthy Sun Screens section. Better than any of these is to purchase clothing and hats designed to block sun.

Risks

Read how "fair skin and the number of moles were the major risk factor for melanoma, not sunshine" in the "No Association between Melanoma and UV Exposure" section which is just above the "Vitamin D for Cancer Prevention" section.

Sunlight Dosage

A single, twenty-minute full body (one side) exposure to summer sun will trigger the delivery of 20,000 units of vitamin D into the circulation of most people within 48 hours. The body's delivery of twenty thousand units is the single most important fact about vitamin D. Compare that to the 100 units you get from a glass of milk, or the 400 units the U.S. government recommend as "Adequate daily Intake."

The body is smarter than we give it credit. When we have obtained enough vitamin D, the pigment in our skin kicks in and we start to tan thus reducing additional absorption. You could use your tan as an indication of your vitamin D level. Even a slight tan indicates sufficient vitamin D.

Direct Sunlight on Skin - How Long

When the body received enough sunlight to produce optimal vitamin D, a tan begins.  The tan can be just slightly darker than the persons normal color.  If the tan appears on about 70% of the body, you can be assured that the body is producing enough vitamin D, but it must be maintained.  If the tan starts to fad, insufficient sun is being received. On black people it takes longer because the natural pigment in their skin blocks sunlight.  On olive skin people slightly longer.

In Oregon Approximate Times for Sun Exposure

In the state of Oregon during the summer, I estimate that the proper exposure could be obtained from 30 minutes on the front and 30 minutes on the back receiving direct sunlight twice a week.  This is based on avoiding direct sunlight between 10 AM and 3 PM.  Winter sunlight would require twice the exposure with even noon sunlight being acceptable. 

In Arizona Approximate Times for Sun Exposure

In the state of Arizona during the summer, I estimate that the proper exposure could be obtained from 15 minutes on the front and 15 minutes on the back receiving direct sunlight twice a week.  This is based on avoiding direct sunlight between 10 AM and 3 PM.  Winter sunlight would require twice the exposure avoiding direct sunlight between 11 AM and 2 PM.

Supplemental Dosage

If you are unable to get into the sun or obtain an Ultraviolet lamp, supplements are available, but as the above Update Added Feb 2008 implies, supplemental vitamin D may have problems. We now realize that the Food and Nutrition Board's previously defined Upper Limit (UL) for safe intake at 2,000 IU/day was set far too low and that the physiologic requirement for vitamin D in adults may be as high as 5,000 IU/day, which is less than half of the greater than 10,000 IU that the body can produce each day with full-body sun exposure*. The small vitamin D pills are very reasonable. 2000 UI pills costs $5 for 120 pills (two months) or 4 cents per day. 5000 UI costs $22 for 250 pills (four months) 9 cents per day.

Good for Your Heart

A review published in the December 9, 2008 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, "Vitamin D Deficiency: An important, common, and easily treatable cardiovascular risk factor?" Lee et al. J Am Coll Cardiol.2008, describes the involvement of deficient vitamin D levels in common risk factors for cardiovascular disease (including high blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity) and in cardiovascular events. Vitamin D deficiency is estimated to affect up to half of all adults and 30 percent of children in the United States.

If You Can't Get into Sunlight

You can order this lamp on this page (click "Add to Cart" at the bottom or the page).

Move Outside

The reason why it is so important to move outside is based on the most successful cancer treatment ever attempted. You can read about it at the top of the Sunlight section.

If you an immediately feel the difference in your body when you move outside,
imagine of how much such a move can help your health .

Moving outside is one of the most healthy things you can do. Keeping lens off your eyes seems to be the way to go. If you don't know about this, go to the Sunlight section.

You can't beat the warmth of a friend on colder days. Sit together under a down duvet or an opened sleeping bag (the old style flannel type is still sold by Colman). To stay warm you need to sit on thick padding like the pads on these chaise lounges:

Online at Amazon $519

Many online at chaiselounges.com $300

Online at Amazon (these pads may be too thin, put one inch
Styrofoam under the pad) $430

Down to Zero

For somewhere between $45 and $145 (plus shipping) you can be outside down to very cold temperatures. 12 volt DC electric clothing or blankets allow you to greatly reduce the electromagnetic pollution caused by the usual AC power but they require a 12 volt source such as this 12V DC Power Adapter** for $25. This adaptor has a 5 amp max output to power up to 60 watts. The same company sells a 12 volt, 42" X 58" electric blanket for $35, but it has a timer that turns it off after 40 minutes which can be annoying when you fall asleep and wakeup cold.

Vitamin C as a Preventative

A number of studies have shown that higher intakes of vitamin C are associated with decreased incidence of cancers of the mouth, throat and vocal chords, esophagus, stomach, colon-rectum, and lung. One large prospective  type study of 870 men over a period of 25 years (Kromhout D. Essential micronutrients in relation to carcinogenesis. Am J Clin Nutr. 1987;45(5 Suppl):1361-1367) found that those who consumed more than 83 mg of vitamin C daily had a 64% reduction in lung cancer compared with those who consumed less than 63 mg per day.

Although most large prospective studies found no association between breast cancer and vitamin C intake, two recent studies found dietary vitamin C intake to be inversely associated with breast cancer risk in certain subgroups. In the Nurses' Health Study, premenopausal women with a family history of breast cancer who consumed an average of 205 mg/day of vitamin C from foods had a 63% lower risk of breast cancer than those who consumed an average of 70 mg/day (Zhang S, Hunter DJ, Forman MR, et al. Dietary carotenoids and vitamins A, C, and E and risk of breast cancer. J Natl Cancer Inst. 1999;91(6):547-556.). In the Swedish Mammography Cohort, women who were overweight and consumed an average of 110 mg/day of vitamin C had a 39% lower risk of breast cancer compared to overweight women who consumed an average of 31 mg/day (Michels KB, Holmberg L, Bergkvist L, Ljung H, Bruce A, Wolk A. Dietary antioxidant vitamins, retinol, and breast cancer incidence in a cohort of Swedish women. Int J Cancer. 2001;91(4):563-567.).

What Type of Vitamin C?

There are three types of vitamin C that are commonly available:

• Ascorbic acid Totally synthetic but recommended by everyone even Linus Pauling. However, I prefer to use supplements as found in nature.
• Natural Vitamin C For years the only naturally occurring vitamin C that was readily available was rose hips, but it was so expensive that most "Natural" vitamin C pills only contained a small amount of rose hips. Now a commercially available truly 100% natural vitamin C is available and it is reasonable. Camu Camu is available from most online distributors such as Vitacost and Iherb.
• Buffered Vitamin C Known as Ester C this is ascorbic acid that has been pH balanced to be gentle on your stomach. It is available in drug stores even super markets.

Love as a Preventative

Vitamin A and Cervix Cancer

Elevated level of vitamin A have demonstrated a 80% reduction in the instance of cervical cancer. Supplemental vitamin A is easily available and reasonably priced.

Vitamin A and Prostate

Men with the highest levels of retinol (vitamin A) in their blood have shown a 40% reduced risk of prostate cancer.

This web site simply provides educational information about various cancer treatments. The decision to take alternative or conventional treatments is your responsibility. It is never the choice of a doctor, health advisor, or writer. It is your body and anyone who tells you what treatment to take instead of providing information about all your treatment options and letting you decide, is abusing their position.

A patient should realize that delaying the use of conventional treatments can reduce the effectiveness of these treatments. This is because most conventional treatments have dangerous side effects so their use must be limited. For example, if you delay the use of chemo to shrink a tumor, the tumor may grow to a size that would require more chemo than you can safely take. This is not true for most alternative treatments which can usually be given for years without dangerous side effects.

To complicate matters, taking conventional treatments before using alternative treatments, can often reduce the effectiveness of the alternative treatments. This is because conventional treatments, such as chemo and radiation often create so much damage to a person's body that the body is too weak to support the use of alternative treatments.

With such complications to consider, smart patients are making treatment decisions in a relaxed, pressure-free environment. A doctor's office is far from a pressure-free environment. Smart patients are making treatment decision at home, alone without anyone around to make the decision excessively emotional and with all their information at their fingertips.
