WHY WOMEN IN CHINA DO NOT GET
BREAST CANCER
By Prof. Jane Plant, PhD, CBE |
|
I had no alternative but to die or to
try to find a cure for myself. I am a
scientist - surely there was a rational
explanation for this cruel illness that
affects one in 12 women in the UK?
I had suffered the loss of one breast, and
undergone
radiotherapy. I was now receiving painful
chemotherapy, and had been seen by some of
the country's most eminent specialists. But,
deep down, I felt certain I was facing
death. I had a loving husband, a beautiful
home and two young children to care for. I
desperately wanted to live.
Fortunately, this desire drove me to
unearth the facts, some of which were known
only to a handful of scientists at the time.
Anyone who has come into contact with breast
cancer will know that certain risk factors -
such as increasing age,
early onset of womanhood, late onset of
menopause and a family history of breast
cancer - are completely out of our control.
But there are many risk factors, which we
can control easily.
These "controllable" risk factors readily
translate into
simple changes that we can all make in our
day-to-day lives to help prevent or treat
breast cancer. My message is that even
advanced breast cancer can be overcome
because I have done it.
The first clue to understanding what was
promoting my breast
cancer came when my husband Peter, who was
also a scientist, arrived back from working
in China while I was being plugged in for a
chemotherapy session.
He had brought with him cards and
letters, as well as some amazing herbal
suppositories, sent by my friends and
science colleagues in China .
The suppositories
were sent to me as a cure for breast cancer.
Despite the awfulness of the situation, we
both had a good belly laugh, and I remember
saying that this was the treatment for
breast cancer in China , then it was little
wonder that Chinese women avoided getting
the disease.Those words echoed
in my mind. Why
didn't Chinese women in China get breast
cancer? I
had collaborated once with Chinese
colleagues on a study of links between soil
chemistry and disease, and I remembered some
of the statistics.The disease
was virtually non-existent throughout the
whole country. Only one in 10,000 women in
China will die from it, compared to that
terrible figure of one in 12 in Britain and
the even grimmer average of one in 10 across
most Western countries.
It is not just a matter of China
being a more rural country, with less urban
pollution. In highly urbanized Hong Kong ,
the rate rises to 34 women in every 10,000
but still puts the West to shame.
The Japanese cities of Hiroshima and
Nagasaki
have similar rates. And remember, both
cities were attacked with nuclear weapons,
so in addition to the usual
pollution-related cancers, one would also
expect to find some radiation-related cases,
too.The conclusion we can draw from these
statistics strikes you with some force. If a
Western woman were to move to
industrialized, irradiated Hiroshima , she
would slash her risk of contracting breast
cancer by half. Obviously this is absurd. It
seemed obvious to me that some lifestyle
factor not related to pollution,
urbanization or the environment is seriously
increasing the Western woman's chance of
contracting breast cancer.
I then discovered that whatever causes the
huge differences in breast
cancer rates between oriental and Western
countries, it isn't genetic.
Scientific research showed that when Chinese
or Japanese people move to the West, within
one or two generations their rates of breast
cancer approach those of their host
community.
The same thing happens when oriental people
adopt a completely Western lifestyle in Hong
Kong . In fact, the slang name for breast
cancer in China translates as 'Rich Woman's
Disease'. This is because, in China, only
the better off can afford to eat what is
termed ' Hong Kong food'. The
Chinese describe all Western food, including
everything from ice cream and chocolate bars
to spaghetti and feta cheese, as "Hong
Kong food", because of its availability in
the former British colony and its scarcity,
in the past, in mainland China.
So it made perfect sense to me that
whatever was causing my breast cancer
and the shockingly high incidence in this
country generally, it was almost certainly
something to do with our better-off,
middle-class, Western lifestyle.
There is an important point for men
here, too. I have observed in
my research
that much of the data about prostate cancer
leads to similar conclusions.
According to figures from the World Health
Organization, the number of men contracting
prostate cancer in rural China is
negligible, only 0.5 men in every 100,000. In
England, Scotland and Wales , however, this
figure is 70 times higher. Like breast
cancer, it is a middle-class disease that
primarily attacks the wealthier and higher
socio-economic groups, those that can afford
to eat rich foods.
I remember saying to my husband, "Come on
Peter, you have just come back
from China . What is it about the Chinese
way of life that is so different?"
Why don't they get breast cancer?'
We decided to utilize our joint scientific
backgrounds and approach it
logically.
We examined scientific data that pointed us
in the general direction of fats in diets.
Researchers had discovered in the 1980s that
only l4% of calories in the average Chinese
diet were from fat, compared to almost 36%
in the West.
But the diet I had been living on for years
before I contracted breast cancer was very
low in fat and high in fiber.
Besides, I knew as a scientist that fat
intake in adults has not been shown to
increase risk for breast cancer in most
investigations that have followed large
groups of women for up to a dozen years.
Then one day something rather special
happened. Peter and I have worked together
so closely over the years that I am not sure
which one of us first said: "The
Chinese don't eat dairy produce!" It
is hard to explain to a non-scientist the
sudden mental and emotional' buzz you get
when you know you have had an important
insight. It's as if you have had a lot of
pieces of a jigsaw in your mind, and
suddenly, in a few seconds, they all fall
into place and the whole picture is clear.
Suddenly I recalled how many Chinese people
were physically unable to
tolerate milk, how the Chinese people I had
worked with had always said that milk was
only for babies, and how one of my close
friends, who is of Chinese origin, always
politely turned down the cheese course at
dinner parties.
I knew of no Chinese people who lived a
traditional Chinese life who ever used
cow or other dairy food to feed their
babies. The tradition was to use a wet nurse
but never, ever, dairy products.
Culturally, the Chinese find our Western
preoccupation with milk and milk products
very strange. I remember entertaining
a large delegation of Chinese scientists
shortly after the ending of the Cultural
Revolution in the 1980s.
On advice from the Foreign Office, we had
asked the caterer to provide a pudding that
contained a lot of ice cream. After
inquiring what the pudding consisted of, all
of the Chinese, including their interpreter,
politely but firmly refused to eat it, and
they could not be persuaded to change their
minds.
At the time we were all delighted and ate
extra portions!

most common causes of food allergies . Over
70% of the world's population are unable
to digest the milk sugar, lactose. |
Milk, I discovered, is one
of the most common causes of food allergies . Over
70% of the world's population are unable to
digest the milk sugar, lactose, which has led
nutritionists to believe that this is the
normal condition for adults, not some sort of
deficiency. Perhaps nature is trying to tell
us that we are eating the wrong food. Before
I had breast cancer for the first time, I had
eaten a lot of dairy produce,
such as skimmed milk, low-fat cheese and
yogurt. I had used it as my main source of
protein. I also ate cheap but lean minced
beef, which I now realized was probably often
ground-up dairy cow.
In order to cope with the chemotherapy I
received for my fifth case of cancer,
I had been eating organic yogurts as a way
of helping my digestive tract to recover and
repopulate my gut with 'good' bacteria.
Recently, I discovered that way back in 1989
yogurt had been implicated in ovarian cancer.
Dr Daniel Cramer of Harvard University studied
hundreds of women with ovarian cancer, and had
them record in detail what they normally ate.
Wish I'd been made aware of his findings when
he had first discovered them. Following
Peter's and my insight into the Chinese diet,
I decided to give up not just yogurt but all
dairy produce immediately. Cheese, butter,
milk and yogurt and anything else that
contained dairy produce - it went down the
sink or in the rubbish. It
is surprising how many products, including
commercial soups, biscuits and cakes, contain
some form of dairy produce. Even many
proprietary brands of margarine marketed as
soya, sunflower or olive oil spreads can
contain dairy produce.
I therefore became an avid reader of the small
print on food labels.
Up to this point, I had been steadfastly
measuring the progress of my fifth cancerous
lump with calipers and plotting the results.
Despite all the encouraging comments and
positive feedback from my doctors and nurses,
my own precise observations told me the bitter
truth.
My first chemotherapy sessions had produced no
effect - the lump was still the same size. Then
I eliminated dairy products. Within days, the
lump started to shrink.
About two weeks after my second chemotherapy
session and one week after giving up dairy
produce, the lump in my neck started to itch.
Then it began to soften and to reduce in
size. The line on the graph, which had shown
no change, was now pointing downwards as the
tumor got smaller and smaller.
And, very significantly, I noted that instead
of declining exponentially (a graceful curve)
as cancer is meant to do, the tumor's decrease
in size was plotted on a straight line heading
off the bottom of the graph, indicating a
cure, not suppression (or remission) of the
tumor.
One Saturday afternoon after about six weeks
of excluding all dairy produce from my diet, I
practiced an hour of meditation then felt for
what was left of the lump. I couldn't find it.
Yet I was very experienced at detecting
cancerous lumps - I had discovered all five
cancers on my own. I went downstairs and asked
my husband to feel my neck. He could not find
any trace of the lump either.
On the following Thursday I was due to be seen
by my cancer specialist at
Charing Cross Hospital in London . He examined
me thoroughly, especially my neck where the
tumor had been. He was initially bemused and
then delighted as he said, "I cannot find it."
None of my doctors, it appeared, had expected
someone with my type and stage of cancer
(which had clearly spread to the lymph system)
to survive, let alone be so hale and hearty.
My specialist was as overjoyed as I was. When
I first discussed my ideas with him he was
understandably skeptical. But I understand
that he now uses maps showing cancer mortality
in China in his lectures, and recommends a
non-dairy diet to his cancer patients. I
now believe that the link between dairy
produce and breast cancer is similar to the
link between smoking and lung cancer. I
believe that identifying the link between
breast cancer and dairy produce, and then
developing a diet specifically targeted at
maintaining the health of my breast and
hormone system, cured me. It was difficult for
me, as it may be for you, to accept that a
substance as 'natural' as milk might have such
ominous health implications. But
I am a living proof that it works.

Hands, by Professor Jane Plant |

The secrets
of my revolutionary action plan.
The fact is that dairy milk contains a number of
substances called growth factors; breast and
prostate tissue both have receptors for growth
factors, which cause cells to divide and
reproduce.
|
|
I eliminated all dairy produce from my diet
immediately - I had been eating organic
yoghurt to help my digestive tract recover
from the chemotherapy, but I also threw out
anything containing milk products, from
biscuits to soups and even some forms of
margarine. Within days, the lump began to
itch, then to soften and shrink, until, after
six weeks, it had vanished altogether.
What I believe I've done is to go back and
establish the root cause of breast and
prostate cancer. That's what I've been trained
to do throughout my career as a scientist - to
find the fundamental cause. Conventional
therapy deals with the symptoms of cancer -
the tumours - but my regime goes further.
I don't believe dairy produce initiates
cancer, rather that it promotes it - if the
body weren't constantly taking in growth
factors from milk, it would be able to clean
up its damaged cells by itself.
When my tumor disappeared, I couldn't just
pronounce that the one thing had led to the
other. I have been trained throughout my
working life to give data for the statements I
am making or to give sources, so I began
researching the whole subject.
It is not an extreme regime - if people want
to follow diets that are extremely
unconventional, that's fine, but it's not what
I'd recommend. Barry Sheene did so and, in the
end, the regime failed and he died. I would
never recommend that people avoid conventional
treatment.
Cancer is such a clever disease that you have
to use everything at your disposal to tackle
it. I recommend that people use my diet and
lifestyle factors to help them through
procedures such as chemotherapy, and to give
them some awareness of the factors that you
can control in your diet and lifestyle.
The fact is that dairy milk contains a number
of substances called growth factors; breast
and prostate tissue both have receptors for
growth factors, which cause cells to divide
and reproduce. It seems that if you have a
damaged cell, these growth factors will select
these damaged cells, and cause them to grow
out of all control.
I now believe that the link between dairy
produce and breast cancer is similar to the
link between smoking and lung cancer. It was
difficult to accept that a substance as
"natural" as milk might have such ominous
health implications, but I am living proof
that it worked.
Cutting out dairy produce is one of the main
dietary points, but there are other very
important ones. You should eat masses of
vegetables and fruit (with more emph- asis on
vegetables) - not only are they full of
vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, but many
contain chemicals which have anticancer
properties, such as allicin in garlic, or
lycopene in tomatoes.
You should limit your intake of saturated
fats, and eat a diet rich in monounsaturates
(such as olive oil), and omega 3 and 6 oils
(oily fish, flax seeds and nuts).
Eating adequate amounts of protein is
important for your body - though I suggest
that as much as possible should be from
vegetable sources (eg, lentils); salt and
sugar should be kept to a minimum, in favor of
seasonings which have anti-cancer action, such
as the curcumin in turmeric, oregano, and
thyme.
Wholegrain cereals are good for the body,
because they contain detoxing enzymes and
substances which help suppress the growth of
tumors, and it is vital to drink lots - I
prefer filtered boiled water to what comes out
of the tap, though I don't recommend bottled
water - I don't like anything in plastic
bottles, because of the harmful plasticizing
chemicals that can migrate into the water.
I have followed this regime for the past 10
years, and have remained free from cancer. My
specialist at Charing Cross Hospital was
skeptical about my ideas at first, but now I
have heard that he uses maps showing cancer
mortality in China when he is lecturing, and
recommends a non-dairy diet to his cancer
patients.

| We tackle other illnesses such as
heart problems with diet and nobody seems to
think it's cranky or extreme. So why does the
connection between breast cancer and diet
attract such skepticism? Breast cancer is
hormone related and has reached epidemic rates
in many countries. It's just plain common sense
to look for the causes and tackle breast cancer
with diet and lifestyle. Our fish are becoming
hermaphrodites - tap water often contains
recycled hormone rich pee - plastic packaging
leaches hormones into our food - milk contains
estrogens and growth factors. Young girls are
reaching puberty earlier. Other cultures call
breast cancer "rich womens disease". It all adds
up. Professor Jane Plant is a respected UK
scientist and her arguments are backed up with
lots of research. Lots of the information
is relevant to prostrate cancer, another hormone
cancer showing a frightening rate of increase. |
| 10 types of cancer cells and
four types of normal cells were exposed to
high vitamin C |
In a study led by Dr. Levine 10
types of cancer cells and four types of normal
cells were exposed to high vitamin C levels that
could easily be reached intravenously. In five
of the cancer cell types, about half of the
cells were either killed or apoptosis (cell
suicide) occurred. Also, C exposure nearly
completely halted the growth of surviving cells.
Remarkably, no damage was done to the normal
cells tested.
Levine and his NIH team theorized that the
high concentration of C prompted the formation
of hydrogen peroxide (HP), which is known to
kill cells. In this case the healthy cells may
have repaired HP damage, but the cancer cells
were defenseless.
Lypo-SphericTM Vitamin C is
encapsulated in liposomes and as a result is
able to cross the normal barriers to
absorption into the bloodstream and into cells
as if these restrictions were not there. This
technology has produced results that far
exceed the expectations of medical researchers
as well as customers all over the globe.

Cinnamon
has long been a popular spice in baking and
cooking. Research has found that it is not
only delicious but it's healthy, too. Just
make sure that you're buying true cinnamon and
not cassia, which is often sold as cinnamon in
stores.
Here are 10 Health Benefits of Cinnamon that
may make you want to include it in your diet
every day.
Lower Cholesterol
Studies have shown that just 1/2 teaspoon of
cinnamon per day can lower LDL cholesterol.
Blood Sugar Regulation
Several studies suggest that cinnamon may have
a regulatory effect on blood sugar, making it
especially beneficial for people with Type 2
diabetes.
Yeast Infection Help
In some studies, cinnamon has shown an amazing
ability to stop medication-resistant yeast
infections.
Cancer Prevention
In a study published by researchers at the
U.S. Department of Agriculture in Maryland,
cinnamon reduced the proliferation of leukemia
and lymphoma cancer cells.
Anti-Clotting
It has an anti-clotting effect on the blood.
Arthritis Relief
In a study at Copenhagen University, patients
given half a teaspoon of cinnamon powder
combined with one tablespoon of honey every
morning before breakfast had significant
relief in arthritis pain after one week and
could walk without pain within one month.
Anti-Bacterial
When added to food, it inhibits bacterial
growth and food spoilage, making it a natural
food preservative.
Brain Health
One study found that smelling cinnamon boosts
cognitive function and memory.
E. Coli Fighter
Researchers at Kansas State University found
that cinnamon fights the E. coli bacteria in
unpasteurized juices.
High in Nutrients
It is a great source of manganese, fiber,
iron, and calcium.

Recipe
for Sore Muscle Soak
|
The soak is a combination
of epsom salts because it helps to
reduce inflammation, relieve aches and pains
from muscle cramps, works as a muscle
relaxer, helps remove toxins from your body
and is apparently a natural emollient for your
skin, sea salt because it helps remove lactic
acid build up that occurs in sore muscles and
baking soda because it softens water and
apparently helps you absorb the epsom salt.
I also add 3 drops each of eucalyptus and
rosemary to the bath. Eucalyptus for purifying,
oxygenating and energizing and rosemary for
detoxifying, energizing and uplifting.
|
Homemade Sore Muscle Bath Soak
- 1 Cup Epsom Salts
- 1/4 Cup Sea Salts
- 1/4 Cup Baking Soda
