See book keywords and concepts |  Use seasonings such as turmeric (curcumin) that protect against environmental carcinogens, decrease inflammation, and increase bile secretion. Ginger is helpful with many types of inflammation—and helps with liver detoxification. Adding a tablespoon of soaked and ground milk thistle seeds each day can also help with liver function. Grind a tablespoon of fresh flaxseeds and place on cereals or salads. The increase in lignans from these seeds aids in providing fiber as well as an oil that helps in the anti-inflammatory pathway. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Cancer can occur spontaneously, without a person being exposed to radiation or environmental carcinogens, without smoking tobacco, and without eating fatty or sugary foods. Just the age-related decline in the immune system can increase the risk for cancer. The accumulation of iron in the body also increases risk for cancer. A lack of folic acid can cause the same amount of genetic damage as exposure to atomic radiation. A deficiency of vitamin D alters the immune system, creating an environment for cancer. These causes are not addressed by the modern cancer care system. | | Ames says huge amounts of money are being spent to examine hypothetical risks from environmental carcinogens when dietary deficiencies may pose a greater threat because they can mimic radiation damage to cells - the kind of DNA damage that leads to cancer. [Mutation Research 447: 3-13, 2000]
Ames also says it has been estimated that the United States spends 100 times more to prevent one hypothetical, highly uncertain death from a synthetic chemical than it spends to save a life by nutritional intervention. | | Environmental carcinogens ... 225 Parabens and breast cancer... 225 Genes and breast cancer... 225 Preventive Mastectomy... 227

Vitamin D and Diet Truths
Autoimmune diseases are due to genetic risk in the presence of vitamin D deficiency and dietary imbalance beginning shortly after conception and continuing through early childhood.
Cancer is usually a preventable disease if you have a lifetime of normal vitamin D levels and a healthy diet.
Melanoma results from overexposure to UVA and inadequate vitamin D levels. |

See book keywords and concepts |  A number of factors may contribute to these contradictory findings, including participant baseline health and ROS levels, exposure to environmental carcinogens, and genetic differences in ROS metabolism [31]. Some argue that higher doses of some antioxidants have a prooxidant effect [2], and there is a high probability that absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of a simple ingested supplement is quite different from the complex in fruits and vegetables, which contains many different types of antioxidants as well as other phytochemicals. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Cancers are also thought to be a tesult of the effects of environmental carcinogens (e.g., cigarette smoke, chemical fumes, toxic exhaust, and airborne particulates), patticularly if combined with deficiencies of nutrients required for optimal functioning of the detoxification and immune systems. In a study of chemical plant workers in Turin, Italy, Vineis et al. (1985) analyzed the association of bladder cancer according to occupation (i.e., textiles, leather, printing, dyestuffs, tite and tubbet goods production). Highest risks were for the leather, dyestuffs, and tire production industries. | | The gene exists at a fragile site on chromosome 3pl4 and is easily damaged by environmental carcinogens. It has been found to be deleted in many types of cancer, including breast, lung, esophageal, pancreatic, gastric, and head and neck cancers (Mangray et al. 1998; Simon et al. 1998; Sorio et al. 1999; Hilgers et al. 2000).
Laboratory Testing
The early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer is difficult, even with recent advances in diagnostic methods. The symptoms are insidious (developing gradually and steadily) and are often present for 2 months before the diagnosis is made. |
Michael T. Murray, N.D., Joseph E. Pizzorno, N.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Up to ninety percent of all cancers are thought to be due to the effects of environmental carcinogens, such as those in cigarette smoke, food, water, and air, combined with deficiencies of the nutrients the body needs for proper functioning of the detoxification and immune systems. Our levels of exposure to environmental carcinogens vary widely, as does the efficiency of our detoxification enzymes. High levels of exposure to carcinogens, coupled with sluggish detoxification enzymes, significantly increases our susceptibility to cancer. |
Gary Null
See book keywords and concepts | | Although environmental carcinogens are the predominant causes of human cancer, the incidence of cancer in any population of animals or humans exposed to a carcinogen may be influenced by a variety of factors.
4. There is no known method for measuring or predicting a "safe" level of exposure to any carcinogen below which cancer will not result in an individual or population group.3
CANCER IS CAUSED BY CHEMICALS
Even though Dr. Epstein says cancer is mainly chemically induced, he does acknowledge that there are some genetic forms of cancer and that viruses may play a part in some cancers. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Up to 90% of all cancers are thought to be due to the effects of environmental carcinogens, such as those in cigarette smoke, food, water, and air, combined with deficiencies of the nutrients the body needs for proper functioning of the detoxification and immune systems. The level of exposure to environmental carcinogens varies widely, as does the efficiency of the detoxification enzymes, particularly phase II. High levels of exposure to carcinogens coupled with slow detoxification enzymes significantly increases susceptibility to cancer. |
James F. Balch, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  It is thought by many scientists that nearly 90 percent of all cancers are due to the effects of environmental carcinogens (cancer-causing agents) such as those found in cigarette smoke, adulterated food, and polluted water and air. Along with the excess exposure to these carcinogens, deficiencies of the nutrients needed for proper detoxification through the liver and through adequate immune function lead to increased risk for cancer. |

See book keywords and concepts |  They are the fat-soluble pigments found in orange, yellow, red, and green fruits and vegetables that protect them from constant exposure to the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays and other environmental carcinogens, preventing the formation of dangerous free radicals. There are at present 600 known carotenoids, and about 50 can be found in edible fruits and vegetables. The 5 being touted as antioxidant stars for the twenty-first century are alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, lycopene, lutein, and zeaxanthin. |

See book keywords and concepts |  The geopathic field probably acts in concert with a variety of other predisposing factors including diet, genetics, environmental carcinogens, viruses, abnormal electromagnetic radiation exposure, as well as the subtle-energy factors which affect general vitality and immune competence.
There are a variety of methods available which can directly deal with neutralizing the influence of geopathic stress. The easiest way to remove such stress is to move the afflicted individuals and their belongings to different locations. | | It is possible that the common factor in these situations is something more than shared heredity or exposure to local environmental carcinogens. The common element in such cancer clusterings may relate the presence of geopathic stress. This does not necessarily mean that geopathic stress, by creating this reverse polarity in the blood, is the cause of cancer. It is likely that the geopathic stress influence is one of many factors operating in the development of cancer. |
E. Richard Brown
See book keywords and concepts |  In 1975 the NCI expanded its environmental carcinogens program to $100 million, an impressive sum except that it is only 17 percent of the NCI's budget for the year. This miserly proportion devoted to environmental causes of cancer seems especially ironic because NCI director Frank J. Rauscher, Jr., publicly stated on several occasions the widely substantiated view that up to 90 percent of all cancers originate in the environment. |

Arthur C. Upton, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts | | Others suggest that if dietary fat and sunlight are included as environmental carcinogens, perhaps as many as 60-70 percent of all cancers are environmentally stimulated. (See Figure 7.1, p. 134.)
Still other health experts claim that extremely few cancers are caused by the environment. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) take a middle view between these two extremes. Their data suggest that perhaps 10 to 20 percent of cancers are the result of environmental exposure. |
Robert Hass, M.S.
See book keywords and concepts |  As powerful as these substances are, however, a body abused by years of poor diet, tobacco intake, alcohol intake, too much sunlight, and exposure to environmental carcinogens such as air pollution sometimes requires heroic measures—new and experimental medical therapies.
Take the case of New Mexico Supreme Court Justice Stanley F. Frost, which recently received national media attention. Judge Frost was convinced that the Christmas of 1995 would be his last. |
Ralph W. Moss, Ph.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  This may explain the agency's generally poor record in controlling environmental carcinogens whose usual source is big business (see chapter
15).
It may also explain some of the agency's intransigent hostility to unorthodox approaches to cancer, or even to innovations made within established cancer centers. Such innovators, mavericks, or small companies are the antitheses of the large firms that dominate the agency. Often there is a financial conflict between the plans of the small fry and the giant companies. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Vitamin C: This powerful water-soluble antioxidant helps regenerate vitamin E, prevent LDL (low-density lipoprotein)-cholesterol oxidation, detoxify environmental carcinogens, and assist in the body's synthesis of hormones and connective tissue, bone, and cartilage. It is required to convert folic acid into its active form in the body, and it increases the body's ability to absorb and store iron. For this reason, vitamin C should not be consumed with iron supplements. Vitamin C improves the bioavailability of the anticancer mineral selenium. | | From the data I've seen, environmental carcinogens do not pose as high a risk as some researchers believe. The vast majority of breast cancers are due to the factors mentioned above: high-calorie, phytonutrient-poor diets; chronically high levels of insulin; chronically high intake of saturated and polyunsaturated fats; and lack of regular exercise. The Permanent Remissions Plan automatically reduces your intake of pesticides and environmental contaminants because the foods that it recommends fall low on the food chain. | | CITRIC ACID
Citric acid in citrus fruits blocks the cancer-causing effects of environmental carcinogens. Have at least one serving of citrus fruit each day to prevent prostate cancer, and two servings if you have the disease.
OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS
Omega-3 fatty acids, found in such seafoods as salmon, tuna, and mackerel and in flaxseed, inhibit the development of tumors in animals and suppress cell proliferation, cell transformation, and the promotion, growth, progression, and metastasis of a variety of human and rodent cancer-cell lines in the laboratory. | | A variety of phytonutrients that lower blood cholesterol in rats inhibit the formation of breast cancer caused by environmental carcinogens.
We now know that the same phytonutrients that fight cancer also fight heart disease. Recent studies have clearly shown that heart disease can be reversed by using a phytonutrient-rich diet, regular exercise, and relaxation techniques such as meditation. It remains to be proven that cancer can be reversed through the use of a similar strategy. But the evidence is mounting. |

See book keywords and concepts |  The cat might be considered an especially meaningful model for such studies, since the cat, like man, is outbred, and it is subject to many, if not most, of the same environmental carcinogens to which man is subject and which might play a role in the induction of cancer. The rates for spontaneous leukemia and sarcoma in cats are low and roughly in the same range as in man, considering the difference in life span. Most important, while cats do harbor covert indigenous leukemia viruses, horizontal transmission of the oncogenic virus does occur [whereas] the role of the vertically transmitted ... |
