Anti-Cancer |
Breast cancer The incidence of breast cancer is much higher in countries where people eat high fat diets. Frequently cysts (soft lumps) wilt appear first but disappear quickly when the diet is rectified. Breast cancer is the number one cause of death in women aged 35-50 years in the USA; Holland and Denmark have seven times the rate of Japan with its low-fat diet. Oral contraceptives cause 90% of women using them to develop breast cysts within two years. These women have a much greater (260%) chance of developing cancer. The effect of the Western diet, in changing the type of intestinal bacteria which react dangerously with the bile, has been described. Another effect of this process is that the female hormone, estrogen, is produced. An excess of estrogen induces premature development in young girls. Whereas a hundred years ago girls commenced menstruating at 17 to 18 years, they do so now at 12 or 13. Estrogen is such a potent hormone that a three-and-a-half-year-old girl who had been rubbing her mother's estrogen skin lotion all over herself in a period of two months developed breasts and an adult uterus. In the USA, Premarin, an estrogen preparation designed to keep women youthful, was shown to increase the incidence of cancer of the uterus by 400% in two years and by 1,400% in seven years. The high estrogen levels result in the cysts and breast cancer mentioned. In the UK, cancer of the ovaries has been linked with estrogen contraceptive pills. The incidence of cancer of the cervix and uterus is twice that of those who use a diaphragm. Breast cancer mortality (age adjusted) vs per capita consumption of dietary fat,

Prolactin is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland and is involved in the function of breast tissue and mammary glands of the breast. In tests on rats it was noted that cancer was associated with an increase in the prolactin to estrogen ratio in their bodies. Dr Ernst Wynder in his report to the US Senate Select Committee described a study with a group of nurses who voluntarily adopted a low-fat vegetarian diet. Their prolactin levels decreased 40-60% in four weeks. At an International Congress of Vegetarians, Dr Kristine Nolfi of Denmark described how she cured herself of breast cancer by adopting a 100% raw vegetable diet. She later established a sanitarium, "Humilgardin" where this diet is employed and consumed by patients and the staff. All forms of rheumatism and arthritis are alleviated, also psoriasis, hemicranea, gallstones, and stones in the renal pelvis and urinary bladder. Loss of hair, fat accumulation and dandruff cease. |
