Pancreatic Cancer growth halted

Cancer, Success Stories, , , , , ,

Dear Lorene!

I have good news about my mom. The mass in her pancreas has not enlarged since it was found last year. And mom said that  her pain in the sides has significantly decreased. Because of mom’s condition nothing more invasive than CT can be done to diagnose more precisely the condition of the mass. Mom has been using Paw Paw since November 2015, she is using 12 pills a day. Her question is  if she should keep using 12  a day or if she can reduce the dosage. I really appreciate your support and advice about it.
Gratefully,
AR, FL

 

Thank you to both of you for sharing these results. It can help others. This is excellent news in 10 months! It is probably in her favor that the doctors do not want to do anything more invasive – if nothing is broken, don’t fix it!
One CT scan per year is acceptable, more than that is excess radiation. 
If she is feeling well, she may choose to continue at the same dosage of Paw Paw, to not only stop growth, but to start to decrease the mass. The beauty of the chemotherapeutic effect of Paw Paw, Asimina triloba, is that it is self regulating in dosage. Should your Mom start to feel any nausea, cramping or continual diarrhea, THEN she can decrease by 1 per day. This would indicate she is needing a lower dose. 
Feel free to get back to me after her next scan, or if anything changes. For now, all sounds very good! Congratulations to both of you for the time & effort you are making to educate yourself and take control over your own health. 
Knowing that Nature’s Sunshine has herbs powerful enough to effect this improvement, think how important it is to benefit from their therapeutic grade products for everyday health!

Studies Show Radiation Increases Cancer Risk

Cancer, , , , , , , , , ,

Updated Aug. 20, 2020:

It is  well established that exposure to ionizing radiation can trigger mutations and other genetic damage that can contribute to rampant growth of  normal cells. This article presents studies on Breast Cancer, but radiation affects all cells.

So it seems amazing how mainstream medicine and governing Health departments  contunally dismiss the idea that medical imaging tests from mammograms to CT scans do not play a role in causing breast cancer. Take this example from the web site for Cornell University’s Program on Breast Cancer and Environmental Risk Factors:

In answer to the question “Is ionizing radiation a cause of breast cancer?”, the Cornell experts say “Yes ….. female breast tissue is highly susceptible to radiation effects.” But then they disregard the possible hazard from mammography x-rays saying the risk …”should not be a factor in individual decisions to undergo this procedure. The same is true for most diagnostic x-ray procedures.”

If that’s not confusing enough, they turn around and state: “Nonetheless, unnecessary radiation exposures should be avoided and continued vigilance is required to ensure that the benefits associated with specific procedures outweigh the future risks.”

Risk – benefit ratios are often overlooked in pharmaceutical medicine.

 

Why radiation increases risk of breast cancer

Common sense suggests there is plenty of reason to be worried about radiation causing breast cancer. And now there’s a new reason to be concerned. Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have discovered that radiation exposure can alter cells’ micro-environment (the environment surrounding cells). And that greatly raises the odds that future cells will become cancerous.

The reason is that signals from a cell’s micro-environment, altered by radiation exposure, can cause a cell’s phenotype to change by regulating or de-regulating the way a cell uses its genes. The result can be a cell that not only becomes pre-cancerous but that passes this pre-malignant condition on to future cells.

“Our work shows that radiation can change the micro-environment of breast cells ….. a much greater potential to be cancerous,” stated Paul Yaswen, cell biologist and breast cancer research specialist with Berkeley Lab’s Life Sciences Division.

“Many in the cancer research community have been slow to acknowledge and incorporate in their work the idea that cells in human tissues are not independent entities, but are highly communicative with each other and with their micro-environment,” he added.

To find out what radiation exposure does to the cellular environment and how it could impact the future of cell behavior, the Berkeley Lab scientists grew normal breast tissue in culture dishes for about a week. Then they zapped each set with a single treatment of a low-to-moderate dose of radiation and compared the irradiated cells to sets of breast cells that had not been irradiated.

The published results showed that four to six weeks after the radiation exposure, the normal breast cancer cells showed premature cell senescence (aging & deterioration).

The researchers pointed out that the levels of radiation used in their experiments were not as much as a woman would be exposed to during a single routine mammogram but were comparable to those a woman could receive during a CT scans or radiotherapy “and could represent sources of concern.”

Women are often pushed to get annual mammograms, raising their overall radiation exposure through the years. Mammographies are referred to in Lorene Benoit’s book:  The Paw Paw Program – The “Christopher Columbus” Approach to Cancer – The World IS Round and Cancer CAN Be Treated Naturally, on pages 34-35.

Questions to Ask Your Doctor is  a good starting point anytime radiation techniques are recommended.

A 2008 report from JAMA  found that the start of screening mammography programs throughout Europe has been associated with increased incidence of breast cancer: http://www.naturalnews.com/024901.html.

A Johns Hopkins 2015 study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute that concluded radiation exposure from mammograms could trigger malignancies in women at risk for genetic breast cancer has since been retracted, likely due to BIg Pharma & funding pressure.

ALL Electro Magnetic Frequencies and Radiation (EMF and EMR)  are causing health challenges, including wireless, smart meters, and cell phones. The cumulative effect is that we are creating a microwave within which we are being baked!

This  2015 Canadian Parliamentary Report on “RF and EM Radiation and Health of Canadians” is one of many worldwide. The full Standing Committee Report  presented major concerns  with respect to Safety Code 6, considered by hundreds of scientific experts to be grossly outdated – even in 2015. Now, in 2020, with advent of more radiation from thousands of satellites radiating the earth, 5G, 6G and 7G, this is more troubling, yet none of the recommendations from this report have been followed up by government. ie. they are NOT protecting citizens. Some Concerns from the Expert Panel:

  • there should have been a biologist on the panel,[11] 
  • the panel had insufficient expertise in epidemiology.”[12]
  • “the panel was conflicted”[13] 
  • the panel did not have adequate time to do a full review of the data, they therefore relied on reviews of other people and did not do a detailed evaluation of the studies,”[14] ,which led them to false conclusions.
  • “some of the experts [on the panel] are known to advise the telecom industry. This is a serious potential conflict of interest.”[15]

The science is clear as many countries become aware – it’s people like you who need to insist our health be taken into consideration above profits!

Conclusions: Our studies indicate that ionizing radiation can promote the outgrowth of epigenetically altered cells with pre-malignant potential.

Cancer Screening and Prevention, Mammograms, PSA

Mammograms – Physical AND Emotional Damage – make your decision wisely

Cancer Screening at What Cost?

A recent article in the Globe and Mail regarding the risks and benefits of Cancer Screening. “ The advantages to screening have been exaggerated.” states Dr Brawley.

Mammograms

In Canada an expert panel said that women over 40 do not need routine mammography screening . The reason being that the value of mammography has been decisively unproven. Many experts say that it is of no value period. In one Danish study women between 55 and 74 who had regular mammograms had a 1% annual decrease in breast cancer mortality. But women who were unscreened had a 2% annual decrease in breast cancer mortality. In other words you were less likely to die from breast cancer if you did not participate in the annual mammogram screening. Dr. Gotzche concluded if “screening were a drug it would have been withdrawn . You don’t market a drug that harms so many people for such uncertain benefits. “

Furthermore the article continues to state that the screening picks up harmless cancers that never would have been a problem . Instead of saving lives screening creates an avalanche of over diagnosing and needless treatments. For example out of 2100 women, 690 would have detected a false positive result , 75 would have to undergo unnecessary biopsies and needless surgeries.

PSA

Now let’s address prostate PSA tests. These same experts state that men should not have PSA tests at all. The test does not save lives and it does inflict devastating harm on men whose cancer would have otherwise been benign . Between 1986 and 2005 1 million men were treated for prostate cancer because of the PSA test. At least 5000 men died  due to the harm from the surgeries. 70. 000 men suffered needless serious complications and 300,000 suffered impotence and incontinence. The expert group states that the PSA test is harmful and expensive, with the annual cost in the USA being $3 billion. So why is the PSA test still administered?  The drug companies continue peddling the tests for financial gain. Richard Ablin the founder of PSA is devastated, “ I never dreamed that my discovery four years ago would lead to such as profit driven public health disaster. “

Biopsies, Cat Scans (CT’s)

Positive tests, whether accurate or not, usually lead to more injurious tests: biopsies, CT scans (radiation promotes cancer growth) and CT scans involve high doses,  equivalent to hundreds of Xrays. Add to this the negative emotional havoc  caused by fear and anticipation of these procedures. IF, on the other hand, one is very anxious about their health, the tests may help allay fears. Just be sure you want them, and are not just doing what  the doctor says. Take part in your decision making.

Because cancer always starts from an injury it makes no sense to inflict your breasts, prostate, or any other organs to an injurious type of test. It simply aggravates the problem. It makes no sense to submit to unproven prostate tests that serve no purpose except to expose you to surgical procedures that cause harm and inflict injury. In cancer there is cell replication and the law of nature states that cells do not randomly replicate. There must be a reason for cell replication to take place and that reason is that there is an injury. This is explained in more detail in my book: The Paw Paw Program – A “Christopher Columbus” Approach to Cancer – The World IS Round and Cancer CAN Be Treated Naturally”.

So here is the wisdom of this all. It is imperative that we should provide our cells on a daily basis with all the essential building blocks  so that any inconsequential injuries may be repaired well before they get to the mutated point. What do we do ? We feed our bodies not with daily junk food but with high dense nutritious super foods .  Herbs are nature’s answer to do this. One way to nourish our cells is to give them a Smoothie every day loaded with:

Mineral Chi Tonic for the minerals lacking in today’s foods

Ultimate GreenZone which is a concentrated source of alkalinizing vitamins and minerals which are easily assimilated as they are from food sources, including spirulina, amaranth, barley grass, bee pollen, chlorella, and 30 other herbs and super foods.

Collagen bioavailable collagen peptides & amino acids from 100% grass-fed, pasture raised cows. Helps maintain health, strength and youthfulness of all tissue structures, including skin and joints.

Flax Hull Lignans which bind the harmful xenoestrogens produced by Candida and which feed cancer.

Colostrum known to bind harmful lectins, which can plug up the blood stream . Lectins are found in all grains. Collagen promotes healthy growth of tissue, bone & catiledge.

Super Omegas from tested fish sources.

In Lorene’s book, The Paw Paw Program, there is an entire chapter about herbs and supplements that have been sued for millennium for abnormal cell growth and healing. Pau D’Arco/Taheebo Tea, Essiac (E-Tea), Ashwaganda, Astragalus, Periwinke, Yew, Mistletoe, the list is extensive, and the history shows evidence that these work – for different people, in different countries, for different cancers and other conditions.

Spiritual

Ho’oponopono is an ancient Hawaiian technique for solving spiritual, emotional, mental or any type of problem. By addressing any negative situation with these 4 phrases, we can free our minds from past memories and restore the purity of our hearts and clean up repetitive issues that keep surfacing from our subconscious mind.

“If we can accept that we are the sum total of all past thoughts, emotions and words, deeds and actions and that our present lives and choices are colored or shaded by this memory bank of the past, then we begin to see how a process of correcting or setting aright can change our lives, our families and our society.” Mormah Nalamaku Simeona

The 4 phrases are: I am Sorry, Please Forgive Me, I Love You, Thank You.

Medical Scene

Runaway Use of Radiation Harming Patients

Dr. Eric Topol, author of The Creative Destruction of Medicine, has this to say about Americans being “overcooked” with damaging radiation.

  • one CT angiogram of the heart is 16 mSv, that is equivalent to 800 chest x-rays
  • A typical nuclear scan, at 41 mSv, and performed annually on many cardiology patients is equivalent to 2000 chest x-rays.

But patients aren’t told this, nor are any safety measures in place to record accumulated exposures. Safer diagnostics such as ultrasounds and MRIs are under-used. The following 3 minute video gives more information.
