Mercola, FDA, Mammography and breast cancer

Mercola’s newsletter is a variable source of information but worth it for the occasional cracker. Read this article on the FDA’s refusal to confront big business and ‘accepted procedures’

Report in Daily Mail:

A chemical widely used as a preservative in cosmetics, food products and pharmaceuticals has been found in tissue samples from 40 women with breast cancer.

A number of studies since 1998 have raised concerns about the potential role of these parabens in breast cancer as they possess oestrogenic properties.

Oestrogen is known to play a central role in the development, growth and progression of breast cancer.

Parabens are a chemical compound found in everyday toiletry products including moisturisers, make-up, shaving foam, tanning lotions and toothpaste.

They are also found in numerous brands of underarm deodorant. However, a causal link has never been found between them and breast cancer.

They are present in processed meats such as sausages, pies and pastries along with coated

David on a yahoo chat group had this advice for anyone wishing to use colloidal silver for a lung condition:

Body

I would buy Argentn 23. It is the same stuff you make with any colloidal silver generator but at a little higher PPM. You do not really use that much through a nebulizer, so it is not that expensive to just buy it. Higher concentrations are desirable. Google shop for a 16 oz bottle.

The other thing you need is an ultrasonic nebulizer. Google shop for one. The smaller the particles of water that the nebulizer gives off, the better they will penetrate in the lungs. The smaller the particles, the harder the mist is to see. Ultrasonic nebulizers can give off mists that are entirely invisible.

Then you put a few milliliters in the nebulizer chamber, turn it on, and breath in through the mouth and then preferably out through the nose. You can also breath out the mouth, it really doesn’t matter.

Start with just 1 breath and wait an hour. In people who are very sick with pneumonia, going straight to several minutes of use can cause bad coughing and can be potentially dangerous in those cases. Even in these cases, such reactions are rare. But just as an overkill safety, take an hour break between each increase in timing. I would work up every hour something like this:

1 breath, 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes.

So in 1 or 2 days time you can work up like this to at least 10 minutes twice a day. I would do it 10 minutes many times a day. If you can, do it 8 hours a day even. As long as you do some reasonable working up of time, then there is no limit to how long it can be used.

Cleaning the nebulizer with distilled water before each use is best. Do not mix anything with the CS. Do not sip directly from the bottle. These steps are all just to preserve the effectiveness of the product.

YERVOY (ipilimumab) can cause serious side effects in many parts of your body which can lead to death. These serious side effects may include: inflammation of the intestines (colitis) that can cause tears or holes (perforation) in the intestines; inflammation of the liver (hepatitis) that can lead to liver failure; inflammation of the skin that can lead to severe skin reaction (toxic epidermal necrolysis); inflammation of the nerves that can lead to paralysis; inflammation of hormone glands (especially the pituitary, adrenal, and thyroid glands) that may affect how these glands work; and inflammation of the eyes.

These side effects are most likely to begin during treatment; however, side effects can show up months after your last infusion. Your healthcare provider should perform blood tests, such as liver and thyroid function tests, before starting and during treatment with YERVOY. Your oncologist may decide to delay or stop YERVOY.

Call your healthcare provider if you have any signs or symptoms or they get worse. Even seemingly mild symptoms can lead to severe or even life-threatening conditions if not addressed. Do not try to treat symptoms yourself.

Herbs to avoid before surgery

Researchers at Cleveland’s University Hospitals Case Medical Center recently provided a very useful study for any patient about to undergo surgery — whether it’s a quadruple bypass or a simple out-patient cosmetic procedure.
After the UHCMC team conducted a review to assess the benefits and risks of widely used herbal supplements, they compiled this list of herbs that might be best to avoid in the two weeks prior to surgery:
* For bleeding effects: gingko biloba, garlic, ginseng, dong quai, feverfew, fish oils
* For drug interactions: echinacea, goldenseal, licorice, St. John’s wort, kava, valerian root
* For cardiovascular effects: ephedra, garlic
* For anesthetic effects: valerian root, St. John’s wort, kava
* For photosensitivity effects: St. John’s wort, dong quai
* For hypoglycemia effects: ginseng

18 years ago, my wife, Bernadette, was diagnosed with cancer and died 15 months later – as much from the impacts of her treatments as from the cancer itself. Since then I have been seeking an answer to the question: What will I do when I get cancer? (For me and you this is more a probability than just a likelihood).  I have found answers (quite a few in fact) and I want to share them with you.

But first I want you to believe, as I do, that the alternative, natural approaches really do work. That’s why I am making available this free book Cancer Survivors’ Stories (Book 8 in the newly updated (and very much enlarged) version of Cancer: The Complete Recovery Guide) which tells the stories of more than two dozen people who have followed non-conventional approaches and recovered from cancer as a result. Get the free download from www.fightingcancer.com

I want you to read this book so that when cancer comes knocking (maybe not on your door but on that of someone close to you) you will have some idea that there are options beyond what the doctors and the media are telling you about.

This book could save your life

Or extend your life. It could even help you avoid altogether the cancer that is looming.

Please send this free book now to all your friends and relatives – to everyone you know

These stories demonstrate unequivocally that natural approaches to cancer treatment are rational, effective and pain-free. They are also supported by a great deal of science so don’t think this is just airy-fairy nonsense.  Since the media and doctors are hostile to these approaches, the only way to get the message out is by spreading the word as widely as possible. That’s why I want you to send it to everyone you know.

But why should you follow a natural route to recovery?

Because – for the vast majority of cancers – conventional medicine does not have the answers. Oncologist Siddhartha Mukherjee (author of bestseller, The Emperor of All Maladies, and a conventional doctor to the core) admits not only that a cancer cure is not imminent; it is not even on the horizon. And yet we have many cures at hand – cures that are ignored by the doctors because they don’t involve drugs.  Can we call them cures? What else can we call them when people are doing them and getting well again as a result? Beata Bishop has lived for 30 years since being told she had terminal melanoma.

There are no ‘wrong’ ways to cure cancer. Anything that works is good.

Why should you care?

Because, if you are in your 50s your likelihood of getting cancer yourself is over 50% – and if you are in your twenties your lifetime probability will be closer to 70-80% (cancer incidence is rising at about 1% a year). The better you are prepared for this eventuality the less likely it is that you will suffer pain and life changing damage. Please believe me, for your own sake – for the sake of your friends, your family, your parents. I have been there and I know.

I want as many people as possible to know the truth

I am asking you to read this book and to send it to everyone you know.  Someone somewhere will benefit enormously from this simple act.

You might even save someone’s life.

My best wishes to you
