Guest guest Posted March 17, 2003 Report Share Posted March 17, 2003 Cancer Growth and Cause JoAnn Guest Jul 26, 2002 10:50 PDT Thousands of things cause cancer. No scientist will ever identify the actual trigger for a specific cancer's birth. Every adult over the age of 50 has cancer in his or her body. The New York Times said so on November 8, 1994 after reviewing autopsy studies. You can look this one up. Page C-1. Cancer is so common, that it's the rule and not the exception. What separates those who die from those who live is how well the body is able to interrupt and suspend cancer's growth. We do NOT need a cure for cancer. Aware of how commonplace cancer really is, we must universally recognize what makes existing cancers grow. G is for GROWTH FACTOR Insulin-like growth factor (IGF-I) in humans and cows is identical. Like a key fitting into a lock, this hormone is a perfect match between two species of mammal and exerts powerful growth effects. IGF-I is the most powerful growth hormone in the human body. Every sip of milk and every bite of cheese contains IGF-I. IGF-I is the key factor in the growth and proliferation of every cancer that has ever grown in any human. Seven quotes: " Recombinant rbGH treatment produces an increase in the concentration of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) in cow's milk. " FDA review of genetically engineered milk Science, 8/24/90, Vol 249 " A strong positive association was observed between IGF-I levels and prostate cancer risk. " Science, 1/23/98, Vol. 279 " Insulin-like growth factor (IGF-I) can affect the proliferation of breast epithelial cells, and is thought to have a role in breast cancer. " The Lancet, 5/9/98, Vol. 351 " Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs), in particular IGF-I and IGF-II, strongly stimulate the proliferation of a variety of cancer cells, including those from lung cancer. High plasma levels of IGF-I were associated with an increased risk of lung cancer. Plasma levels of IGF-I are higher...in patients with lung cancer than in control subjects. " Journal of the National Cancer Institute, 1/20/99, Vol. 91, no. 2 " Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) is expressed in many tumor cell lines and has a role in both normal cell proliferation and in the growth of cancers. " Cancer Gene Therapy, March, 2000, 7:3 " The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system is widely involved in human carcinogenesis. A significant association between high circulating IGF-I concentrations and an increased risk of lung, colon, prostate and pre-menopausal breast cancer has recently been reported. Lowering plasma IGF-I may thus represent an attractive strategy to be pursued. " International Journal of Cancer, 8/2000, 87:4, 601-5 " Serum IGF-I levels increased significantly in the milk drinking group…an increase of about 10% above baseline-but was unchanged in the control group. " Journal of the American Dietetic Association, 10/99, Vol. 99, no. 10 Cancer is about growth. IGF-I is responsible for that growth.
