When I think of this group, I am often reminded of squirrels scurrying for a

nut. The nut being the latest and/or hottest cancer cure. One minute it's

immunocal, flaxseed oil and cottages the next, and now MGN-3)...always

looking outside of ourselves for healing. Never tuning into the inner voice

that knows our needs better than anything else. Never attempting to

understand our body or appreciate our own genius.

As a result of researching information on natural healing for my niece with

breast cancer, I walk away believing their is no dis-ease that cannot be

cured...PERIOD. I do feel, however, chemo and radiation (in most cases) makes

the healing process much, much, harder. Yes, some of these cures may be very

beneficial, but I think we miss the point when we believe healing comes from

a pill, a vitamin, a chemical or even an herb. Healing is both holistic and

synergistic and starts from within.

I have been a vegetarian for 27 years and at age 47 I do not take even an

aspirin. I have never had a major or minor illness, and stopped accepting

flus and colds 10 years ago. I do yoga and run most mornings and must admit,

no one believes I am over 35. I have 3 gray hairs. When it comes to excerise,

will give any 25 year old a run for her money, which isn't hard to do these

days considering the SAD of most young people. I attribute this to natural

living and a positive attitude towards life. I say all this not to brag, but

as a witness to the benefits of a healthy diet, lifestyle, and a true belief

in the magnificence of the human body and its ability to heal itself.

Thanks Betty,

It is important to know that after living nutrient deficient lives WE

CAN'T EXPECT TO BE ANYTHING BUT SICK. However I do believe that our family

has found supplements with the nutrition we would get from our food if we had

not so drastically depleted our soils and loaded them with chemicals and then

to top it off we pick them before they're mature.

Dear Betty R,

I know healthy vegetarians, who run more than you do and still got breast

cancer. The reason people look for an answer for cancer is there is none now.

Cancer is not like polio where a shot can prevent it.

Healthy living does not always prevent one from getting cancer.

Daisy,

Of course it doesn't. The point is, the approach to health must be holistic

and not focused on a magic bullet. Every month, through the use of herbs and

vegetable juices, I treat myself as if I have cancer. Simply because, if

statistics are correct, one out of every three people will be stricken (you

can correct me on those statistics). I do feel, however, because of

preventive measures my chances of recovery are greater. Cancer causing agents

are all around us, no one is immune.

Hi Daisy,

Healthy living doesn't necessarily prevent cancer or any other disease

ESPECIALLY IF YOU WAIT TILL YOU'RE SICK to begin living healthy. When you

find someone like Betty who has taken care of themselves all their lives

through their diet I believe you will be amazed at how low their rate of

disease is.

I believe if we focus on trying to share EVERYTHING WE HAVE and not on

arguing about who's right or wrong we will be able to help one another a

whole lot more. I also believe that is all Betty was trying to do.

GOD BLESS Eddie

According to the AMA 1 out of 2 get heart disease and 1 out of 3 get cancer.

This statistic is expected to change and the incidences of cancer are

expected to overcome the incidences of heart disease. I'm 99% sure these are

the correct statistics.

GOD BLESS Eddie

P.S. Daisy,

My mother, who had annual checkups, died of colon, liver and breast cancer.

My sisters, brother and myself were raised on fresh garden vegetables which

my mother and father grew on our eight acres of land. Prior to her illness

she had not been sick or bedridden a day in her life. How did she get cancer

with such a healthy lifestyle, you ask? Because cancer-causing agents are all

around us. I understand that, which is the reason I do not own a microwave

oven, which is the reason I don't use aluminum underarm deodorants (possibly

one of the causes of breast cancer, humm), which is the reason I don't eat

hormone fed (or any other type) chicken or drink milk. What I wouldn't give

for ice cream that taste like Hagan Daz's butter pecan. When I gave up the

Hagan Daz it was as if life as I knew it had ended....then in stepped Rice

Dream. Yet, with all that, I still sit at my computer sending out messages to

you while receiving a healthy dosage of radiation.

I would never say running keeps one healthy. In some cases it can be

detrimental. Jogging keeps the blood circulating and it gives me an

opportunity, while running among the trees, to deep breath relatively fresh

air. I also find jogging in cold weather helps buildup the immune system.

Okay, I just want to jump in here, seems we have a heated debate going on

here. Please allow me to add my " 2 cents " worth.

Cancer is an inter-related disease due to more than one factor. If you

think about it cancer is everywhere. It's in the food by pesticides, in the

milk by hormones, in the water and air by pollution, in personal care

products by chemicals, high stress levels etc.etc. A person could drive

theirselves crazy tring to rid their life of all the " cancer " out there.

Remember the serenity prayer: It says change what you can change, accept

what you can't change, and pray for the wisdom to know the difference.

Those things we can change we should such as eating an organic diet or at

least using a vegetable wash on store bought produce, maybe eating 75% or our

diets raw as Dr. Day suggests so the enzymes are maintained. And we know the

rest.

Of course, exercise in any form is important and helpful - it increases

oxygen to the body, relieves stress, and releases endorphins which puts us in

a better mood.

Purging the body of toxins and parasites once a year as as often as you feel

need of. And keeping the bowels functioning properly, no less than two bowel

movements a day, ideal is one meal in and one meal out. This is something we

can do.

Use personal care products that do not contain harmful ingredients, a highly

unknown source of carcinogens people seem to be unaware of. Did you know

that from the time our babies are born their bodies are subjected to

carcinogens. s' baby wash contains quaternium 15 which is absorbable

through the skin and once in the body is converted to formaldehyde which is a

potent carcinogen. s baby powder contains talc which has been linked

to ovarian cancer in females. These are baby products for heaven's sakes! I

consider this a crime and get more outraged anytime I think about it. These

companies don't care if you get cancer, they just want to make money,

evidently at any cost! And its not just & s products either,

these harmful ingredients are in everything. Look at your labels, do you see

SLS (sodium Lauryl Sulphate or sodium Laureth sulphate), it has been

documented to affect protein structures, causes improper eye development in

children, causes cataracts, documented to cause nitrate absorption (as much

as eating one pound of bacon with each shampoo) nitrates are known

carcinogenic agents and it penetrates into systemic tissues (brain, heart &

liver) and is a skin irritant. That is just one ingredient that is in

EVERYTHING! Go read your labels. Companies use it because it is cheap and

makes a mixture foam well. Another is Propylene Glycol, which is basically

antifreeze, used as a humecant but is absorbed through the skin and causes

liver abnormalities and kidney damage and the list goes on. So even if

someone is doing everything " right " , you can still get cancer if you shop for

your personal care products at the local Walmart. Walmart is full of cancer!

Look at the labels on " natural " products as well, and you will find these

ingredients are many times in these products also. There are alternatives

and the only company I have found that even address this and tries to educate

the people through their distributors is Neways. That is why I am with them,

they have a conscience and a soul and a mission. I don't understand why

people would continue to buy products from a company that is so un-interested

in their health and will eventually cause these people to become sick,

because it builds up in the system.

Another interesting note is some of the chemical companies that make and sell

these ingredients in personal care products are also joined with the

pharmaceutical companies that are going to sell you the " medications " to get

you " well. "

The Cancer Society does not want to find a cure. They receive billions every

year in donations and federal monies. They pay themselves huge salaries!

They have people in strategic places to make sure that no product out their

" cures " cancer especially if they can't replace their present income. How do

you think they would look if after all the billions they have spent on

cancer, it was found that apricot seeds or essiac tea or whatever cures

cancer and that this was know decades ago. If they can't patent it, you can

be sure they won't be supporting it no matter how effective it is! This is

possibly one of those things we can not change at this moment in time...but

if people apply enough heat and speak openly about these unethical practices

of the AMA, Cancer Society, Pharmaceutical companies, industrial companies -

basically all those in high power....maybe one day this will change.

Other suggestions one can change or do and should:

Learn to laugh! Make it a point to watch one funny movie a week, watch

the grandkids play, go to a comedy show, whatever it takes. This also

increases your endorphin level and relieves stress.

Watch your tongue! Speak positively. There is " power " in them thar'

words!

Learn to forgive! It lightens the heart and allows God in.

Pray for guidance or whatever your need may be. Keep in touch on a daily

basis.

Keep learning, loving, living and laughing.

Talk to you all

later.................Belinda

If any of you want more information on the " harmful " ingredients in your

personal care

products, just let me know. And tell people this stuff, no one seems to be

aware of this issue and the impact it has on their health. Don't let

corporate America keep getting away with this. Let's start to CHANGE it! I

get very " passionate " on this subject, because the danger is un-necessary,

avoidable, and down right criminal if you ask me. Please join us in our

mission to reduce the cancer numbers. If you would like to join please email

This was cited by the Wall Street Journal on 11-1-88. I got this information

in the technical information packet and supplementary material on potentially

harmful ingredients. It includes all research, sources, findings etc. I

ordered it through the Neways Co. Very good information and contains

Betty " bright moments " it's not a helpful stance to roundly accuse everyone

with cancer on a cancer forum of " NEVER " looking inside for the voice of

guidance. Then going on and on about your healthy lifestyle and how you've

never had a serious health crisis. This puts you in a place of pomposity

health wise that you should guard against. Perhaps you just didn't realize

how you may be percieved. A person can be busy doing BOTH inner work and

also be concerned to know all the outside help that is out there to be had.

I could tell by your additude that you are under the impression you have a

perfect lifestyle and it protects you 100% and for your sake I hope you are

right otherwise the higher power out there might think you need a little

humility and take you down a peg or two and give you the flu or something. I

for one don't like being compared to a squirrel. I have done years of soul

searching and lifestyle changes in the wake of cancer but still am

interested in any outside pill that might give me an edge. Judy Hoffman

Wrong, wrong, wrong. Carcinoma can be prevented with a shot with virtual

100% certainly, and breast cancer is probably the easiest. This is fact,

fact, fact. Will this ever be allowed in the US? Sure, as soon as the

pharmaceutical companies develop more cash-cow nightmare diseases to take

the place of cancer. When the day comes that effective prophylactic

vaccines against cancer are approved for use for everyone, and not just the

wealthy and the connected, then you can cringe with the knowledge that the

pharmaceutical company directors are smirking at the golf course.

Belinda, this post was fabulous. I learned a lot and I already knew some of this.

It looks like we are more and more in agreement on this list than not.

I, for one, am happy you shared this. This was fun to read, and a comfort to know that I'm not the only "detergent vigilante" out there!

LOL

I don't remember if I posted this yet. If I did, sorry for doing twice. I

thinks it's info a lot of people will be interested in reading. I found it

informative.

Here is something I believe you will find VERY INTERESTING.

A PILOT SURVEY: STANDARD CANCER THERAPY COMBINED WITH NUTRACEUTICAL DIETARY

SUPPLEMENTATION IMPROVES TREATMENT RESPONSES AND PATIENT QUALITY OF LIFE G.Hyl

and, M.D.,D.,M.T, Medcenter One, Dept. Radiation Oncology, Bismarck,

North Dakota.

In thousands of cancer cases evaluated by H. , 87% of those with

" spontaneous remissions " had made major dietary changes prior to tumor

regression. The Dietary Supplement Health Education Act of 1994 resulted in

millions of US citizens adding a plethora of supplements to their diets. A

favorable response by 5 patients that failed all cancer therapy was noted

after it was stopped. We found that they had consumed phytonutrient and

phytogenin containing dietary supplements. A search revealed that Busbee et.

al 1994 found a glyconutrient in these diet supplements increased

IL-1,IL-6,INF andTNF production in monocyte cultures. See et. al 1999

reported enhanced NK lymphocyte cytolytic function in response to multiple

glyconutrients. Barhomi et. al 1997 found glyconutriens increased

intracellular reduced-glutathione protection 50% in liver cells. Such

activity provides a potential differential effect for tumor cell destruction

and normal cell protection. To increase our observations, patients with

malignancies were solicited from a 3 state area and 127 volunteered to add

nutraceuticals to their diet. 100 patients returned a quality of life survey

focusing on weight loss, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, pain control, ability to

complete treatments on schedule, physical activity and sense of well being.

40% of the group had failed standard therapy and were in a state of

progressive disease. 60% were starting radiation or chemo-therapy. 85%

reported improvements in the above clinical perameters. The phytogenin

supplement contains plant sterols for nutrient based endocrine support.

Ovarian, breast, uterine, and prostate malignancy patients were discouraged

from taking this nutrient. Some elected to add the phytogenin to their diet

and they reported the best preservation of appetite, muscle mass, and had the

least side-effects during treatment. Patients with a diagnoses of ovarian

carcinoma, astrocytoma grade IV, lymphoma with mild marrow suppression, a

massive pelvic myxosarcoma, and colon adenocarcinoma with brain metastasis

had unprecedented responses. Conclusions: Nutraceutical dietary supplements

(1) do not inhibit tumor cell destruction by radiation and chemotherapy (2)

enhance tumor cell destruction (3) protect normal cells from radiation and

cytotoxic damage (4) induce reductions in tumor mass in malignancies

resistant to all treatments (5) improve quality of life for patients by

reducing treatment toxicity and side effects from radiation and chemotherapy.

A formal, controlled clinical study is warranted to further evaluate the

effects of Nutraceutical dietary supplementation in combination with standard

cancer therapy.

I have to comment on your latest/and or hottest cancer cures. Immunocal

is a food that gives the cell from within the nutrition it needs to

have its protein glutathione function as the body was intended.

Immunocal is not a cure, but glutathione,lack of over over zealous in

cancer needs to be addressed and all evidence when researched points to

Immunocal being that nutrient. We all seem to agree on one thing, the

body is constantly under attack. Glutathione only works properly when

given nutrishion, and can be depleated by the daily challenges we face.

As for what I have learned here about Flaxseed oil and cottage cheese,

is that again it is not a cure but something essential needed in our

diet for our bodies to function better. As for MGN-3 I have to say I am

not sure, but I did find research about those mushrooms (forget the

name) on the med line and they seem very promising for hitting cancer

sites. But others seem to understand why MGN-3 works and I don't see it

as being a cure to cancer per say either. I have to disagree I think

that when you are striving to correct what is on the inside that is why

you seek homeopathic methods. The drugs are the true bandaides. And as

for understanding the body, you should do some research just on

glutathione and its importance to you for prevention.

I spent the first thirty nine years of my life on the side of the fence

that saw nothing but illness. By understanding glutathione and its

importance to my cells and then being able to address their needs I

have been well for the last three years. I choose to heal what I knew I

could heal, and glutathione can be corrected when allowed to do so. You

are lucky to be well, and even though you are to be congratulated for

the fine job you have been doing taking care of your body. You are not

exempt from illness. I have seen allot of great folks who like you lead

a good decent life style, and one day they were just gone. I believe it

is because illness just looks for a window of opportunity, and I for

one know for a fact that as I understand glutathione, this isn't

something you have ever addressed. And you can't get much more on the

inside then that. Something all your cells and organs has to protect

and detoxify. The body should be able to detoxify at all times if

glutathione is doing its job properly. And it can't do its job without

proper nutrishion.

I hope you always remain well

Eddie,

I agree with your evaluation of Betty's comments. I really don't think

that they were offensive. I think we should be very appreciative of

Betty, , and all others with similar comments. We're all adults

searching for ways to cure a major problem. No time for diplomacy as far

as I'm concerned. I can take it straight between the eyes. I have made

major adjustments since my discovery of prostate cancer. I'm sure others

have likewise done the same.

I either read or was told that there are 150,000 herbs in this world,

with only 3% of them being toxic. Many of them have preventive or

healing properties. Not all of these herbs can be found in any one

region. The inhabitants from most of these cultures outside of the WEST

have very few problems with cancer. They use herbs that maybe quite

different, but with the same results. We can do likewise. Regardless of

what supplements one may choose, I sincerely feel that MIND over MATTER

is imperative if we are to have total sucess.

The Best To All

Rich

Most of us are trying to fight cancer one way or the other. We should not be

fighting each other...treat those how you would want to be treated. Ask

yourself the question, before you say it, would Jesus approve of what I am

about to say...God bless all of you..
