Siege, Webster's definition: the act or process of surrounding and attacking a fortified place in such a way as to isolate it from help and supplies for the purpose of lessening the resistance of the defenders and thereby making capture possible.
There's not a more apt description of metastasis to be found in any textbook of medicine. A state of siege is so apropos of what the breast cancer patient faces;...
Breast cancer cells grow faster than normal cells. They're more aggressive. They are impressively adaptable. And if given what they need to survive, they will live forever.
How do you beat that? Well, not to put too fine a point on it ... with great difficulty.
What is needed is a cure for the cause. The Empress of...
To the best of my recollection, this is how it happened.
I read about the world's first preventive breast cancer vaccine, developed by Professor Vincent Tuohy of the Cleveland Clinic in 2010. I read his paper, published in "Nature Medicine" May 2010, and called his lab to introduce myself as Founder and President of the only breast cancer foundation whose mission is primary prevention of the disease - and, so, his...
Back of the envelope calculation: $50 billion spent every year diagnosing, treating, and researching breast cancer in the United States. A race for the cure? Au contrare, It's a stampede.
News: Professor Vincent Tuohy of the Cleveland Clinic developed a preventive breast cancer vaccine that is 100% effective in preventing breast cancer in mice and is ready for safety testing in women. His results were vetted by a panel of experts over a...
Yesterday on my show, Survive and Live Well, on W4CS, Dr Kathleen Ruddy spoke about a breast cancer virus that might be involved with 40-75% of breast cancer. She also discussed a preventive vaccine developed at the Cleveland Clinic by Professor Vincent Tuohy that is ready for safety testing in women and may also be effective against the viral form of breast cancer. Unfortunately, both the virus and the vaccine have...
At the Integrative Healthcare Symposium, February 9-11 2012, Dr Devra Lee Davis, PhD, author of Disconnect, delivered a powerful and frightening message presenting her research on the use of wireless technology. Contrary to firmly held beliefs, invisible radio frequency radiation can alter living cells and create the same types of damage that we know increase the risk of cancer and neurological disease. Davis spoke of her conversation with the late Dr...
This past weekend I attended the Annie Appleseed Project CAM conference; so many excellent speakers. Over the next few weeks I will be sharing some of what I learned. What resonated throughout the conference was that conventional medicine alone is not the answer. Today I will talk about Dr Gwen Stritter and her roadmap to beat cancer.
Dr Stritter provided a humorous and excellent plan for someone just diagnosed with...
So it is a new year….a new start or at least a good reason to take a good look at your habits. Do you exercise, eat at least 10-15 servings of fruits and vegetables a day and include a wide variety? The cellular level is where cancer begins and where nutrition exerts its biggest effect. Healthy cells are your body’s front-line defense against oxidative stress, and fruits...
In The Redwood Forest, I talk about changing the cancer environment. I decided this topic deserves more depth, so today’s post goes a bit further into the emotional and nutritional sides of cancer. In good health, Elyn
Changing the Cancer Environment
Disease (is) not an entity but a fluctuating condition of the patient’s body, a battle between the substance of disease and the natural self-healing tendency of the body. Hippocrates
Cancer is not as complicated...
Over the past few months I have been asked many times if I know of a natural substitute for Tamoxifen. I apologize that it has taken me so long to write this post, but it has required extensive research and obtaining the knowledge of many experts. Many are not convinced that Tamoxifen is the wonder drug it is made out to be. I am one of those people. ...
