Quotes of Nobel Prize Winners About Cancer

“But nobody today can say that one does not know what cancer and its prime cause be. On the contrary, there is no disease whose prime cause is better known, so that today ignorance is no longer an excuse that one cannot do more about prevention. That prevention of cancer will come there is no doubt, for man wishes to survive. But how long prevention will be avoided depends on how long the prophets of agnosticism will succeed in inhibiting the application of scientific knowledge in the cancer field. In the meantime, millions of men must die of cancer unnecessarily.”
Nobel Prize Winner Otto Warburg in a meeting of Nobel Laureates, June 30, 1966
Dr. James Watson won a Nobel Prize for determining the shape of DNA. During the 1970′s, he served two years on the National Cancer Advisory Board. In 1975, he was asked about the National Cancer Program. He declared,
“It’s a bunch of shit.”
“Everyone should know that the ‘war on cancer’ is largely a fraud.” Two Time Nobel Prize Winner Linus Pauling, author of several books on Vitamin C and cancer
This is not from a Nobel Laureate but it fits
“What she (Dr. Johanna Budwig) has demonstrated to my initial disbelief but lately, to my complete satisfaction in my practice is: CANCER IS EASILY CURABLE, the treatment is dietary/lifestyle, the response is immediate; the cancer cell is weak and vulnerable; the precise biochemical breakdown point was identified by her in 1951 and is specifically correctable, in vitro (test tube) as well as in vivo (real)…” Dr. Dan C. Roehm M.D. FACP (oncologist & former cardiologist) in “Townsend Letter for Doctors”, July 1990

Question: Dear Peoples,
Please inform me which of your products may help or assist with liver cancer and candida?
Thank you
Brother Mark Thurston
Answer: Mr. Thurston,
Cancer is a touchy subject and I am really not allowed to give that type of advice without you being a patient of mine. I can provide you with my cancer file. As far as Candida albicans (yeast) goes, we do not offer specific products for that. Personally I like a product called Aquaflora. I have used it with good success in my practice. You really should find a holistic practitioner in your area who can assist you in these areas.

Compounds in Pomegranate Juice May Help Curb Prostate Cancer, Lab Tests Show

Sept. 20, 2007 — Natural chemicals in pomegranate juice may slow the growth of prostate cancer, according to scientists at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA).
The key pomegranate chemicals, called ellagitannins, are also found in foods including strawberries, raspberries, and muscadine grapes, note Navindra Seeram, PhD, and colleagues.
Their theory is that when someone drinks pomegranate juice, the ellagitannins are broken down into ellagic acid then converted, in the small intestines by healthy gut bacteria, into chemicals called urolithins, which may fight prostate cancer.
Seeram’s team tested that notion in their lab.
The scientists bought pomegranates and made their own pomegranate extract from pomegranate skin. They closely measured the ellagitannins in their pomegranate juice.
Next, the researchers tested pomegranate juice against human prostate cancer cells grafted into male mice.
The scientists fed the pomegranate juice to some of the mice. They injected the pomegranate juice into other mice’s abdomens.
For comparison, the researchers fed or injected other mice with a placebo solution containing no pomegranate juice.
The prostate tumors grew more slowly in the mice that got the pomegranate juice orally or by injection, compared with mice that got the placebo.
Finally, the mice got urolithins orally or by abdominal injection. Those pomegranate-derived chemicals gathered in the mice’s prostate, colon, and intestinal tissues more than in other organs.
Add it all up, and it looks like pomegranate ellagitannins may slow (but not totally destroy) prostate cancer in mice.
More studies are needed to see if pomegranate juice works the same way in people, Seeram and colleagues write in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.

Liver Cancer Appears to Be Rarer in Coffee Drinkers Than in People Who Don’t Drink Coffee
Aug. 2, 2007 — Could a cup of coffee cut your risk of developing liver cancer? It just might, but as always we’ll wait for what the next study says.
A new report, published in the August edition of the journal Hepatology, combines the results from 10 studies on coffee and liver cancer.
Together, the studies included 2,260 people with liver cancer and nearly 240,000 people without liver cancer. Participants lived in Greece, Italy, or Japan.
Participants reported their coffee-drinking habits. The data show that overall coffee drinkers were 41% less likely to have been diagnosed with liver cancer than people who don’t drink coffee.
For every daily cup of coffee people drank, their odds of having been diagnosed with liver cancer dropped by 23%, compared with people who never drink coffee.
People who drank a lot of coffee were 55% less likely to have been diagnosed with liver cancer than those who didn’t drink any coffee.
Ranges for high coffee consumption were from as little as one cup to more than three cups daily.
The fact that liver cancer was rarer among coffee drinkers a world apart — in Greece, Italy, and Japan — suggests that the coffee findings weren’t a fluke or a local phenomenon. The theory is that coffee perks up liver enzymes and may cut cirrhosis and liver cancer.
Whether or not coffee prevents liver cancer will remains open to discussion, as the next study may point to an opposite finding.
My Personal Thoughts: It seams that positive and negative studied about coffee have been written for decades. Personally I feel coffee is a wonderful beverage and posses little if any deleterious effects. Caffeine is the only substance in coffee with the potential of producing negative symptoms and it’s usually from abuse or long term consumption. My recommendation is if you are sensitive to caffeine, suffer from insomnia, or experience uncontrolled hypertension, stay away from caffeine.

Pomegranate and Acia Together? Yes

Q: Please tell me the benefits of pomegranate juice. I have heard that it prevents lung cancer is this true & if so is it substantiated? I currently use acai-max twice a day is there a benefit to adding pomegranate to this therapy? My father lost his battle with lung cancer 5 years ago. A non-smoker, he had none of the typical catalysts for the disease. Thank you for your time to answer this question, sincerely, Doris Chavez
A: Doris,
Here is a lot of easy to read data on the pomegranate – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomegranate
As far as cancer goes: Research suggests that pomegranate juice may be effective against prostate cancer[14][15] and osteoarthritis.[16] In 2007, six clinical trials in the United States, Israel and Norway have been approved to examine the effects of pomegranate juice consumption on parameters of prostate cancer or prostatic hyperplasia, diabetes or lymphoma [17].
Both acai and pomegranate are high in unique/different polyphenols, so both together would be better than each one separately.

Eating Right During Cancer Treatment

Cancer treatment can sap your appetite, but that’s when getting adequate nutrition is more important than ever. Here’s how to meet your needs.

Here are two selected paragraphs from the article.
“If you want to supplement the nutrition you get from your regular diet, we recommend taking just one multivitamin per day from a reputable manufacturer,” says Gary Deng, MD, assistant attending and assistant member in the Integrative Medicine Service at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York.
If you have trouble eating enough at mealtimes, many experts recommend adding a nutritional supplement nutrition drink to the menu. Check the label to make sure your supplement shake contains a variety of vitamins and minerals.
Liquid Power, a whole food source liquid multiple vitamin and mineral supplement fits the bill here perfectly. Not only does Liquid Power contain every vitamin and mineral, it also contains a plethora of highly potent nutraceuticals.*
*Nutraceutical is a blend of the words “nutrition” and “pharmaceutical” and refers to foods claimed to have a medicinal effect on human health. Such foods are also called functional foods. It can also refer to individual chemicals present in common foods. Many such nutraceuticals are phytonutrients.
Examples of claims made for nutraceuticals are red wine (resveratrol) as an antioxidant and an anticholesteremic, broccoli (sulforaphane) as a cancer preventative, and soy and clover (isoflavonoids) to improve arterial health in women. Such claims are being researched and many citations are available via PubMed to ascertain their veracity.
“Chemotherapy and radiation treatments are extremely toxic to the body and can weaken or even damage the body long term. (this is in no way a recommendation to avoid these treatments) That is why it is extremely important during chemotherapy and radiation treatments to support the bodies need for high quality vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes, fatty acids and nutraceuticals. Supplementing the diet with a high quality nutritional supplements may have profound beneficial effects on the body when it’s needed most.”

Goji: Health Elixir or Pricey Juice?

Small Red Berry from Tibet Is Attracting a Lot of Attention
By BRITTANY OAT
July 14, 2006 – Although Ponce de Leon never found what he was looking for, the human quest for longevity continued.
Now nutritionist Earl Mindell, author of the bestselling book “The New Vitamin Bible,” believes he has discovered an anti-aging secret in the juice of a tiny, red berry called goji.
“I have never seen anything like this,” Mindell said.
Despite the fact that goji has only been tested on humans in one published study, a simple Internet search reveals hundreds of websites selling goji juice, dried goji berries and even goji plants.
Goji is now available in products on your supermarket shelves and has recently become the subject of some experimental cancer treatments. But does it work?
“We Are A Sick Nation”
Mindell said he learned about the medicinal properties of goji, also known as Lycium Barbarum, from an Asian healer he met on a visit to the Himalayan Mountains in 1996.
For more than 6,000 years, herbalists in China, Tibet and India have used goji because they believe it helps them regulate their blood pressure, prevent cancer, balance blood sugar levels and protect their body from premature aging, he said.
“In that part of the world it is not unusual for people to live to be 100 years old, Mindell said.
In Bapan Village, a remote town in Bama County of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in southern China, seven of its 515 residents are centenarians, according to China’s 2000 census - that’s 1.4 percent of the population. As comparison, only about two-hundredths of a percent of Americans become centenarians, according to Census figures.
“We’re not dying of old age in this country, we’re dying of degenerative diseases,” Mindell said. “Wake up America: We are a sick nation.”
A 1994 study in the Chinese Journal of Oncology found that 79 cancer patients responded better to their cancer treatments when goji was added to their regimen.
Dr. Victor Marcial-Vega, an oncologist from Hato Rey, Puerto Rico, said that he agrees with those findings, and has been using goji to ease the side effects chemotherapy and radiation is his own cancer patients.
In his 2005 study, which has not been published, 80 percent of his patients who took goji while undergoing cancer treatment maintained a healthy blood count, and 87 percent experienced changes that indicated their immune systems may have improved, he said. “The results are so dramatic that the doctors will never go back to saying never use antioxidants with chemotherapy,” he said.
Commentary: I agree with Dr. Mindell 100%, I have never seen anything like it either. The testimonials we receive from happy customers are phenomenal. Since we [California Academy of Health] added camu-camu fruit to the juice the phones won’t stop ringing with orders for the juice. Consumers are becoming more educated about the health products available to them and that’s a good thing. “C.A.O.H. offers a superior goji juice product that today’s educated consumer is looking for, at an affordable price.” Dr. Marcus Ettinger DC, BSc.
Role of iodine in evolution and carcinogenesis of thyroid, breast and stomach.
July 21, 2006 by Dr. Marcus Ettinger
Filed under In The News
The authors have hypothesized that dietary iodine (deficiency or excess) is associated with the development of some gastric and mammary cancers, as it is well-known for thyroid cancer. They report a short review of their own work and of the general literature on this correlation and on the antioxidant function of iodide in stomach, breast and thyroid. Thyroid cells phylogenetically derived from primitive iodide-concentrating gastroenteric cells which, during evolution, migrated and specialized in uptake and storage of iodine, also in order to adapt the organisms from iodine-rich sea to iodine-deficient land. Mammary cells also derived from primitive iodide-concentrating ectoderm. Stomach, breast and thyroid share an important iodide-concentrating ability and an efficient peroxidase activity, which transfers electrons from iodides to the oxygen of hydrogen peroxide and so protects the cells from damage caused by lipid peroxidation. The authors suggest that iodide might have an ancestral antioxidant function in all iodide-concentrating cells from primitive Algae to more recent Vertebrates. In Italy, gastric cancer is more frequent in farmers and in iodine-deficient populations, living in mountainous and hilly areas, than in fishermen. In the last two decades, Italian decrease of gastric cancer seems to be correlated more to the higher dietary consumption of iodine-rich fish rather than to consumption of fruit and vegetables, which indeed has decreased in Italy.

The bottles of pomegranate juice flown to Germany to stop England’s football players wilting in the stifling heat could have other health benefits, according to a study published today that suggests the juice can combat prostate cancer.
Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) is a protein that the prostate produces. A rising PSA level may indicate prostate cancer, which kills 10,000 men every year in the UK.
A team from the University of California, Los Angeles, found that drinking an eight ounce glass of pomegranate juice daily increased, by nearly four times, the period during which PSA levels in men treated for prostate cancer remained stable.
The three-year study published in Clinical Cancer Research by Dr Allan Pantuck and colleagues involved 50 men who had undergone surgery or radiation but quickly experienced increases in PSA.
Pomegranate juice is known to have anti-inflammatory effects and has high levels of anti-oxidants, which are believed to protect the body from free-radical damage.
