Aspartame causes cancer… the proof is finally in with this long term research study performed by the Cesare Maltoni Cancer Research Center of the European Ramazzini Foundation. You read that right… Aspartame (APM) causes cancer. It is however low in calories.. .yes. Eat it and die a slow painful death… calorie free. Is it really worth risking your health for a weight loss solution?Aspartame = Nutrasweet = EqualAspartame was added to the feed of rats in various doses (ppm) until natural death occurred, after which they performed a necropsy (autopsy).The results of the study show for the first time that aspartame, in our experimental conditions, causes a) an increased incidence of malignant-tumor-bearing animals with a positive significant trend in males and in females b) an increase in lymphomas and leukemias with a positive significant trend in both male) and females,c) a statistically significant increased incidence, with a positive significant trend, of transitional cell carc

Conquering Colon Cancer - CBS News Colon Cancer LIve Webcast: Advances in Colorectal Cancer Therapies Colorectal cancer is the second most frequent cancer among men and women in Singapore. Its incidence increases with a sedentary lifestyle, obesity and a high fat diet, low in fruits and vegetables. Colon cancer is also the second-leading cause of cancer [...]

Nelle Moriarty says she's grateful for new breast cancer drugs like Herceptin.But like most patients in cancer therapy, Moriarty, 55, says the medication often leaves her exhausted and struggling to concentrate. That's why Moriarty, a marriage-and-family therapist from Rochester, Minn., says she volunteered for a clinical trial about treating cancer-related fatigue in a new way: ginseng capsules.Ginseng has been used in Chinese medicine to promote health for 2,000 years. A National Cancer Institute survey in 2004 found that 36% of adults use ginseng or some other form of complementary or alternative medicine. But scientists have never before studied ginseng's potential to ease cancer fatigue in such a carefully controlled way, says lead author Debra Barton of the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota.Barton's research is one of a trio of studies, all financed by the cancer institute, on complementary and alternative cancer medicines presented Sunday at the American Society of Clinical Oncology

Now let's see...where can we possibly get these needed funds that the Cancer Society is pleading for us to give to them? Ok...I have to think a bit...money for cancer...money for cancer...hmm...there has to be SOMEPLACE where we can go to obtain this important money for cancer...oh WAIT!!! I know!!! how about we bring this appeal to President George W. Bush to withdraw the funding of the Iraq war and give the money to cancer research? This way, the money will be going to legitimately save people's lives, instead of continuing to fund an illegitimate war we shouldn't be involved in in the first place. Think he will go for it?

I know some someone who bought into this crap.from ABC News:Cure for Your Disease or Empty Promise?Sugar Pills Have Some People Turning Down Doctor's Advice, But Critics Say They're Bogus June 1, 2007 ?How much would you pay for a pill made of sugar?Try $415 million. That's how much Mannatech, a Texas-based company, made in the last 12 months selling sugar pills and powders made from larch bark and aloe, known as glyconutrients. Mannatech says its product, Ambrotose, is a simple nutritional supplement that helps the cells in one's body communicate with one another. Ambrotose is sold exclusively by multilevel marketing sales associates who, functioning as independent contractors, try to sign up customers to buy the product and become sales associates themselves. The product is shipped directly from the company to customers, with sales associates getting a cut of the profits. But critics say the company's bottom line is has been boosted by unverifiable health claims made by som

An American study scheduled for a June release compared the health of some 1,200 female patients, some of whom took a vitamin D supplement while others didn't.The number of patients who reduced their risk of cancer by taking a vitamin D supplement -- 60 percent -- was so unexpectedly high that some initially believed it to be a typographical error.This study, and many similar ones, may force conventional medicine to re-evaluate its vitamin D recommendations. A deficiency in vitamin D figures into many diseases in addition to cancer. One researcher pointed out, "We don't really know what the status of chronic disease is in the North American population, until we normalize vitamin D status."

Recently I wrote about HPV, its relationship to cancer and the controversy over making a vaccine for the virus mandatory. Now I’ve discovered that a new study “the human papillomavirus (HPV) to an increased risk of a kind of oral cancer more often seen in men”. Additionally… Of the 300 study participants, those infected with HPV were also 32 times more likely to develop this type of oral cancer than those who did not have the virus. Oral Sex Can Add to HPV Cancer Risk The vaccine– the subject of controversy in my earlier post– “protects against four: HPV-6 and HPV-11, which cause warts; and HPV-16 and HPV-18, which cause about 70% of cervical cancers. Similarly, according to the study, HPV-16 was present in 72 of the 100 cancer patients enrolled in the study. Between 12,000 and 15,000 new cases of oropharyngeal cancer are diagnosed each year, and about 3,000 people die from it.” While my last post focused only on HPV’s risk to fem

According to the British Experts, we can avoid cancer by getting rid of obesity. For getting rid of obesity, we need to make some simple healthy lifestyle changes. These days, too much attention has been given to the problem of obesity. But still there are many people around who do not know the risk factors that are involved in getting obese and its relation with cancer. We all need to make small

Actually, the issue is more complicated than suggested by the title. There is a vaccine– I’ve mentioned it before– on the market now that can prevent infection with some types of the human papillomavirus (HPV). This virus causes most cases of cervical cancer, and “approximately 20 million people are currently infected“. Several states have moved to put this virus on local mandatory vaccination lists, and this move has provoked negative reactions from several different directions. The arguments behind these reactions, the motivations for these reactions seem to boil down to one of two things. The first core argument is one of morality, expressed at The Aggressive Voice as “But aren’t we supposed to discourage underage girls from a premature sexual lifestyle?” The human papillomavirus is inextricably connect with sex, and hence with morality. Well, are we? Are we as a nation supposed to promote some particular moral position? Are we as a

A great video on a possible cure for cancer. who would have thought of this?!

Dr. Mercola focuses on many easy tips to helping you prevent cancer. The tips and information used have been around for many years.

I stayed at my Granny?s last night and caught about ten minutes of The O?Reilly Factor, which was plenty for me, thank you. The subject was all the despicable, contemptible left-wing bloggers who have expressed their approval of the cancer currently overwhelming the organs of White House Press Secretary Tony Snow. Writers at The Daily Kos and Huffington Post recently published ?fuck Tony Snow? type articles, which O?Reilly and his guest, conservative blogger Michelle Malkin, found just appalling. So Tony Snow is a nice guy. So the reporters at the White House press briefings whom he?s fed a daily diet of bullshit seem to like him. So he?s married and has young children. Lots of other people are diagnosed with cancer every day, they have wives or husbands, children, only they don?t make their living apologizing for a White House that started a war that?s gotten 3,500 Americans and God only knows how many Iraqis killed. All the shit kicked up by the likes of O?Reilly and Malkin and John

How spicy foods can kill cancerScientists have discovered the key to the ability of spicy foods to kill cancer cells.They found capsaicin, an ingredient of jalapeno peppers, triggers cancer cell death by attacking mitochondria - the cells' energy-generating boiler rooms.The research raises the possibility that other cancer drugs could be developed to target mitochondria....The study showed that the family of molecules to which capsaicin belongs, the vanilloids, bind to proteins in the cancer cell mitochondria to trigger apoptosis, or cell death, without harming surrounding healthy cells.Capsaicin was tested on cultures of human lung cancer cells and on pancreatic cancers.Lead researcher Dr Timothy Bates said: "As these compounds attack the very heart of the tumour cells, we believe that we have in effect discovered a fundamental 'Achilles heel' for all cancers....The fact that capsaicin and other vanilloids are already commonly found in the diet proves they are safe to eat.This coul

British gene team are on the brink of cancer breakthroughBritish scientists are on the verge of producing a drug that could revolutionise cancer treatment.It shuts down the rogue genes that cause cancer and is due to be tested on humans for the first time in the next few months.If successful, the drug will be used to stop the disease spreading to other parts of the body, at the same time improving quality of life and life expectancy.The technique, known as RNA interference therapy, is still in its early stages of development but one day it could be extended to treat other conditions ranging from asthma to Aids.The drug works by preventing genes from making disease-causing proteins. Similar in structure to DNA, it should halt the disease in its tracks....The first human trials are due to start in the next few months and it could be on the market within three years.

Remotely Activated Nanoparticles Destroy Cancer.The first in a new generation of nanotechnology-based cancer treatments will likely begin clinical trials in 2007, and if the promise of animal trials carries through to human trials, these treatments will transform cancer therapy. By replacing surgery and conventional chemotherapy with noninvasive treatments targeted at cancerous tumors, this nanotech approach could reduce or eliminate side effects by avoiding damage to healthy tissue. It could also make it possible to destroy tumors that are inoperable or won't respond to current treatment.One of these new approaches places gold-coated nanoparticles, called nanoshells, inside tumors and then heats them with infrared light until the cancer cells die. Because the nanoparticles also scatter light, they could be used to image tumors as well. Mauro Ferrari, a leader in the field of nanomedicine and professor of bioengineering at the University of Texas Health Science Center, says this is "v

DownloadThis is the VOA Special English Health Report.Ovarian cancer is known as a "silent killer" because it is usually discovered too late to save a woman's life. But three cancer groups in the United States have now agreed on a list of possible early signs of the disease.The 2007 Revlon Run/Walk for Women was held in May in New York to raise money to fight breast and ovarian cancerThe statement is the first of its kind to recognize what ovarian cancer survivors have long believed: that there are common symptoms. Researchers have found that these symptoms are more likely to happen in women with ovarian cancer than women in general.One symptom is bloating, or expansion of the abdomen area. Pain in the abdomen or the pelvis can be another symptom. Also, researchers say women with early-stage ovarian cancer may urinate more often or with greater urgency. And the statement says another common symptom is difficulty eating or feeling full quickly.Women who have these symptoms almost daily
