Are Mammograms Causing More Breast Cancer? - Discussion

We have several articles on mammograms on this website, and here is another one by Mike Adams. There are some points in this article which may be controversial, for example, that the cancer industry is deliberately using mammograms to cause more cancers, in order to boost its own business and profits.
You may or may not [...]

Mammograms and Increased Breast Cancer Risk - Follow-up Discussion on Recent Research

In a previous article (http://www.cancerresearchinformation.com/breast-cancer-risk-raised-by-mammograms-research-shows/), the link between mammograms and elevated risk of getting breast cancer was discussed.
That article had highlighted a study presented at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA)’s annual meeting. The following article provides a short follow-up on this issue.

Breast Cancer Risk Raised By Mammograms, Research Shows

Elsewhere on this website, we have published information that suggests a link between mammograms and increased risk of breast cancer. And evidence in this regard continues to mount.
What’s more, the research showing the negative effects of mammograms on breast cancer risk is actually carried out by conventional medical or scientific researchers. Surely the truth is [...]

Mammograms May Contribute to Breast Cancer Risk

Many parties, from doctors to the media and concerned family members, parrot the notion that mammograms help to detect breast cancer in women and thus help to “save lives”. Such assertions, however, fail badly at bringing attention to the other side of the coin - such diagnostic tests actually contribute to the development of cancer, [...]

In Remembrance of Dr Hulda Regehr Clark 1928 - 2009

Dr. Hulda Regehr Clark was born on October 18th, 1928 in Rosthern , Saskatchewan Canada.
She began her studies in biology at the University of Saskatchewan, Canada, where she was awarded the Bachelor of Arts in 1950 , Magna Cum Laude. Dr. Clark was awarded a Master of Arts degree, with High Honors from the University [...]

Link Found Between Allergies and Lower Cancer Risk

Physical symptoms like runny nose and fever can be very uncomfortable, and most people just want to get rid of them as quickly as possible. Such reactions and symptoms, however, play a very important role in the body’s healing processes. A runny nose, for example, allows the body to flush out unwanted agents, while a [...]

Organ Transplant Recipients Have Higher Cancer Risk

Some relatively recent studies have shown organ transplant recipients, whose immune systems have to be suppressed to prevent them from rejecting the new organs, are at higher risk of getting cancer.
These studies are briefly described in the following article. While this information sounds rather ominous for organ transplant recipients, it could also serve as motivation [...]

Examining the Dangers of Cancer Screening

Cancer screening - mammograms, pap smears, PSA tests and what not - are often, if not always, touted by mainstream medicine as a means to “prevent” cancer. Early detection means a much better chance of successful treatment and thus survival, they say.
However, in reality, there is very little evidence, statistically, that cancer screening actually does [...]

Pancreatic Cancer Risk Heightened By Two Alcoholic Drinks Each Day

Alcohol, drunk in large amounts, certainly does great damage to one’s health, especially on the liver. It probably raises cancer risk, too, as other studies have suggested. But how about moderate drinking?
It is arguable if two alcoholic drinks every day can be considered moderate drinking. In any case, a study has found that even that [...]

Low Alcohol Consumption May Also Increase Women’s Cancer Risk

Does alcohol increase cancer risk, or does it not? Most people say yes. Others say it depends on the type of alcohol; supporters of red wine, for example, insist that antioxidants in it help to boost health and lower risk of disease.
The study described in the following article, though not perfect, gives us some insight [...]

Impact of Diet and Lifestyle on Cancer Risk - Many Are Not Informed

A good diet can help to prevent cancer, and even help you to overcome the disease, right? Bad foods cause cancer, right? Bad lifestyle habits like alcohol drinking, lack of exercise and being overweight increase cancer risk, right?
These sound like common and commonsensical knowledge, which you would think the majority of people would be aware [...]

Cancer and Sugar - Studies Which Show The Link

One of the most important things a cancer suffererer needs to do is to avoid refined sugar in his or her diet. I’m talking candy bars, cakes, sugary beverages, and the like. Cancer cells love these sugars. It amazes me that, in hospitals, they actually serve items with refined sugar to cancer patients. Don’t they [...]

Vitamin B17 and Pancreatic Enzymes in Preventing and Treating Cancer - A Video Documentary on the Story of Vitamin B17

Have you heard of the trophoblast theory of cancer? It basically states that cancer is a deficiency disease, much like scurvy is a deficiency of vitamin C. Under this theory, it is stated that nature has provided two main mechanisms for protection against cancer - the pancreatic enzyme trypsin, as well as the natural compound [...]

Choosing An Alternative Cancer Treatment - How A Breast Cancer Sufferer Made Her Decision

When one is diagnosed with the much-dreaded disease called “cancer”, the shock and fear which grips the person can literally be crippling. As the dust settles, after asking the “how’s” and the “why me’s”, is a very important question - “what next?”
This question can be tough even for people who are well-versed in natural and [...]

Budwig Protocol - Key Points and How It Works

Today, thousands of people worldwide are using Dr Johanna Budwig’s protocol to overcome cancer and other serious diseases. I personally know of these people, and converse with them. Their oncologists are shocked at their progress and recovery, but that’s nothing surprising - oncologists and medical doctors mostly know very little about cancer healing.
This article by [...]

Older Folks, Who Are More Likely To Get Cancer, Are In Fact Mostly Excluded From Clinical Trials

Fact: The majority, or about 60%, of people who are diagnosed with cancer are aged over 65. What you probably did not know: Many major cancer studies exclude this very group of people! This was revealed in a study which was published in The International Journal of Clinical Practice.
National Cancer institute (NCI) statistics reveal that [...]

Simple Lifestyle and Dietary Changes Stopped Aggressive Prostate Cancer; 36% Did Not Need Further Treatment

A study conducted at Addenbrooke’s hospital in Cambridgeshire found that, for almost 40% of aggressive prostate cancer sufferers, surgery and radiotherapy treatments which were planned were not needed after the men made simple changes to their lifestyle and dietary habits.
Not only did the changes slow the growth of the cancers, they even stopped it altogether [...]

Breast Cancer Recovery Negatively Hit by Unhappy Marriages

As further proof that one’s mental and emotional state of health plays a great part in preventing and combating disease, a study has shown a link between marital problems and poorer survival for breast cancer sufferers.
Some healing modalities, such as German New Medicine, advocate that emotional trauma and stress is the root cause of disease. [...]

Does a Positive Mental and Emotional Outlook Improve Cancer Survival? - Questioning a Study Which Said It Doesn’t

There has been research which has shown that positive mental and emotional attitudes and states can help to improve cancer survival. A University of Pennsylvania study, however, found that they don’t.
Subsequently, the findings of that study was splashed all over mainstream news sources as conclusive proof that positive emotions and outlooks don’t help. Yet, there [...]

Cancer Pain and Fatigue - Reducing Them With Positive Mental and Emotional Attitude

Are you seeking a painkiller, especially from debilitating cancer pain? Look no further than within you - your positive and optimistic attitudes!
Yes, what is a more natural, safe and cost-effective way of reducing pain than your own mental and emotional outlook. It works, as this study at the Michigan State University has revealed. [...]

Mental and Emotional Health Help Prevent Breast Cancer; Traumatic Events Raise Risk

When you are happy, optimistic and positive, your body’s immune system responds happily and healthily, too. On the other hand, when you are sad, depressed, angry or pessimistic, your immune system also gets depressed, and your body produces all sorts of harmful chemicals.
It is therefore not surprising at all that being happy and optimistic is [...]

Chemotherapy Does Not Work, Is Costly, Has Adverse Effects, And Kills

So what’s this about chemotherapy (and radiation)? What’s this about using poisonous substances to masquerade as some sort of “therapy” or “treatment”, to try to “cure” a very serious degenerative disease?
Chemotherapy and radiation are very much part of conventional medical protocols to “treat” cancer today. But they are hideous crimes against humanity, and, one day [...]

Ovarian Cancer And Peritoneal Tumors - Healing Through German New Medicine

by Joanne Clodfelter from Ohio, US
According to Dr. Hamer and his body of research called German New Medicine (GNM), all cancers and cancer-equivalent diseases are the result of a conflict shock which affects our brains, our emotions, and a particular organ, depending on where the shock has affected our brain. Dr. Hamer has proved his [...]

Tearing the Pink Ribbons from Our Eyes: Shredding the Myths about Cancer “Treatment” in the US

by Joanne Clodfelter from Ohio, US
Daily we are assaulted with pink ribbons, yellow ribbons, and other means of showing “support” for “victims” of cancer and other serious diseases. Charities beg us to give them money to “wipe out” and “battle” diseases which can cause death. The cancer industry itself is such a big business and [...]

Overeating Linked to Cancer

Since time memorial, fasting has been advocated as a means of cleansing - both physically as well as spiritually.
Even today, many “alternative” and natural cancer treatment protocols encourage some form of fasting for the purpose of cleansing and detoxification, as well as for “starving” cancer cells. With obesity a major risk factor for cancer, it [...]

Acai Berries May Destroy Cancer Cells

There are literally thousands of natural cancer fighters and killers residing in fruits and vegetables given to us by Mother Nature. This is knowledge traditionally known to many cultures worldwide, for literally thousands of years.
Increasingly, modern science is empirically proving these health benefits, too. One fruit which is getting more and more attention is the [...]

Cancer Fund Raising and Donations - An Event Severely Lacking in Common Sense

There is so much about conventional cancer treatment which is instinctively, intuitively and intellectually wrong.
Poisons and chemicals cause cancer. Radiation causes cancer. Stress causes cancer. Yet, conventional medicine’s diagnostic and treatment protocols are full of poisons, chemicals, radiation and stress; they cause cancer! This article highlights to us that even cancer fund-raising activities severely lack [...]

Cancer Survivors Struggle With Employment

Cancer, without doubt, is a much feared and potentially debilitating disease. Often, cancer sufferers, especially those who undergo conventional cancer treatment, are, sadly, scarred for life.
And a recent study conducted by researchers from the Coronel Institute of Occupational Health, Academic Medical Center in Amsterdam has revealed that survivors of the disease experience more difficulty finding [...]

Vast Majority of Oncologists Would NOT Use Chemotherapy If They Got Cancer

Would you allow a car mechanic who does not know how, or does not dare, to fix his own car, to fix yours?
Would you dare to live a house whereby the person who constructed it did not feel it safe enough to step into?

Breast Cancer Survival Rates Boosted by Psychological Counseling

A recent study has suggested that psychological counseling may boost breast cancer patients’ likelihood of survival.
By undergoing sessions which focused on improving mood, effective coping and altering health behaviors, it seemed the patients’ stress levels were reduced and this helped them to live longer.

Vitamin D in Cancer Prevention - Statement Defending and Affirming its Role

A recent study released last year supposedly found that vitamin D does NOT protect against getting breast cancer.
Unfortunately, this is yet another piece of misleading information revealed to the public. A statement from a vitamin D expert which was published on NewsWire.ca explains why.

An Example of A Natural Cancer Treatment Protocol

If you are familiar with natural cancer protocols, or so-called “alternative” cancer treatments, you would have some overall idea of what it entails - nutrition, detoxing, boosting immunity, etc.
But what would a specific natural cancer healing protocol entail? The following article details some of the main elements of such a method.

Cancer Treatment - Comparing Natural and Conventional Methods

The way cancer is treated depends very much on how the disease is viewed. Is it just a tumor which needs to be removed some way or the other, or is it more than just about that growth?
Conventional medicine views cancer as just that lump, that tumor, that abnormal growth. Hence its unceasing efforts to [...]

Conventional Medicine’s “War on Cancer” - Examining the Truth

So much is always said and published about the supposed “War on Cancer”. Conventional medicine and its proponents would like people to believe to that we are winning the war, that we are making progress against the disease, that we are saving lives.
Nothing could be farther from the truth. The whole “war on cancer” is, [...]

Exercise and Physical Activity Lowers Risk of Colon and Rectal Cancers

Exercise is critical for good health.
A study published in the November issue of Cancer Causes and Control has indicated that exercise and physical activity helps to reduce one’s risk of getting colon cancer and rectal cancer. On the flip side, lack of physical activity increases the risk.

Mammograms Found To Increase Breast Cancer Rates; Some Cancers May Go Away On Their Own

Do conventional diagnostic procedures like X-rays and mammograms actually do their part in causing cancer? Does conventional cancer treatment meddle with cancerous conditions which otherwise might have been successfully dealt with via the body’s own defence mechanisms, without the need for invasive intervention?
Recent research in Norway seems to indicate so. Read the article by Sherry [...]

Frequent Cell Phone Use Raises Risk of Salivary Gland Cancer by 50%

The use of mobile phones is getting more prevalent by the year. And recent research conducted at Tel Aviv University in Israel has found that heavy users of mobiles phones have a 50% higher risk of getting cancer of the salivary glands.
The study was published in the American Journal of Epidemiology and compared the cell [...]

More Physical Activity Means Less Cancer Risk

Yet another study has linked the level of physical activity in one’s life with one’s risk of getting cancer. Not unexpectedly, there is an inverse correlation. And this piece of research is said to be the first conducted on a non-Western population.
The study was published in the American Journal of Epidemiology and was carried out [...]

Exercise Is An Excellent Cancer Fighter

Exercise is not only a great health booster, it is an excellent cancer fighter, too. Research is mounting that exercise can prevent cancer, slow the progress of the disease, and even boost recovery and lower the likelihood of relapse.
Well, in many ways, it is common sense, isn’t it, that exercise is critical for good health? [...]

Two Studies Showing Cruciferous Vegetables Lower Risk of Bladder Cancer

Cruciferous vegetables, particularly when eaten raw, are well-known for their antioxidant properties as well as anti-cancer effects.
Recent research at the Roswell Park Cancer Institute has linked the consumption of raw cruciferous vegetables to lowered risk of getting bladder cancer.

Diet, Stress and Cancer Risk

Intuitively as well as scientifically, we have a feel of how stress and diet both play large roles in cancer development. A study published in August 2008 in the International Journal of Oncology has given us some clues of how these two factors may interact to affect cancer risk.
The article below summarizes this study. A [...]

Possible Way In Which Meat Increases Cancer Risk

Numerous studies have already linked the consumption of meat, in particular red meat and processed meats, to increased cancer risk. Now, recent research has given us a possible idea of how red meat could have this undesirable effect.
In gist, it has something to do with chronic inflammation - a study has found that eating such [...]

Meat Linked to Small Intestine Cancer

Should we, or should we not eat meat? What is the role which meat consumption plays in the development of cancer?
Scientific evidence seems to be growing that a diet high in fruits and vegetables is the foundation of not just cancer prevention, but also good health and vitality. On the flip side, the consumption of [...]

Cancer Drug Avastin Increases Risk of Blood Clots When Taken with Chemotherapy

Recent research at the Stony Brook University Cancer Center has revealed that Avastin, the cancer drug, increases the risk of blood clots in the veins by some 33% when it is taken together with chemotherapy.
