To Dr Mercola : why animal proteins are killing cancer patients, specialy milk

[Guest guest]

OPINION:

 

 

How Milk that you promote is killing cancer patients

-------------------

 

Once upon a time in India, two unknown Doctors: Madhavan T. and Gopalan C.

published research in 1968 in an obscure Medical Journal that suggested a direct

relation between animal protein and cancer.

Madhavan T. and Gopalan C .The Effect of dietary protein on carcinogenesis of

aflatoxin.

Meanwhile in the Philippines:

 

Doctor Campbell, an American Researcher, is trying to find a solution for

malnourishment in poor populations by feeding them food with high protein

content: peanuts in this case. Unfortunately he encounters a problem with a

fungus called Aflatoxin.

 

What is Aflatoxin?

 

Aflatoxin is a fungus, a mold, a potent toxic, highly carcinogenic, mutagenic,

and immunosuppressive agent.

 

The crop of peanuts that Dr. Campbell was promoting and giving to the poor and

malnourished children of the Philippines, were contaminated by this carcinogenic

mold.

 

Peanuts are very rich in Protein but Aflatoxin was promoting Liver Cancer in the

poor, but not only to the poor…

 

The trouble with Aflatoxin:

 

During a conversation with President Marcos's personal doctor, Dr. Campbell

discovers that even the wealthiest kids from Manila, Philippines had cancer of

the liver and at a greater rate than the poor. The wealthy kids had access to

numerous protein sources including meats and dairies. Could it be that there was

a link between animal protein and cancer, like in the Indian study?

 

This was the start of one of the greatest adventures in the modern history of

medicine.

 

Destiny (and irony) took T Colin Campbell, a man who dedicated all his energy in

the study and promotion of protein, especially animal protein, and led him to

become the greatest advocate against it.

The Mission:

 

Colin Campbell, with two separate research teams, spent the next 35 years

conducting research on the relation between animal protein and cancer.

First logical step: to corroborate the Indian Research

 

Method:

 

Take two groups of laboratory rats:

Feed the first group with 20% protein and feed the second group with 5% protein.

Give both groups enough Aflatoxin TO GET CANCER and then wait…

 

Results:

 

Every single rat fed with 20% protein had liver cancer or precursor lesions

Not a single rat in the second group had cancer or lesions.

 

See China Study : page 57 & 58

With 5% casein, cancer was stopped, and with 20% casein, it grew!!

 

Implications:

 

It is a 100% versus 0% success rate; we've discovered a very dangerous chemical

like Dioxin which can promote cancer, and the name of this product is Animal

Protein. Or maybe the experiment was faulty?

Second logical step, increase the level of Aflatoxin

 

Method:

 

Take two groups of laboratory rats:

 

One will be fed with a high Aflatoxin dose and a low protein Diet.

 

One with a low Aflatoxin dose and a high protein Diet.

 

Results:

 

The rats with the high-aflatoxin dose fed with a

Low 5% protein Diet.

 

LESS FOCI* OF CANCER

 

The rats with the low-aflatoxin dose feed with a

High 20% protein Diet.

 

MORE FOCI OF CANCER…

 

*Foci: Pathology The regions of a localized bodily infection or disease. In this

case group of cancer cells.

 

Implications:

 

A. The link is established between the quantity of protein consumed and

cancerous cell development.

 

B. Protein was more detrimental in increasing the number of cancer foci than a

dangerous carcinogen like Aflatoxin.

Third logical step: challenging the results and evidence acquired so far:

 

Method:

 

Take two groups of laboratory rats:

 

The group with the high-aflatoxin dose and a low protein Diet 5%

WILL NOW BE SWITCHED TO A HIGH PROTEIN DIET IN A SECOND PHASE

AND THEN BACK AGAIN TO A LOW PROTEIN DIET…

 

Results:

 

Foci INCREASE in size and number at the level of 20 % protein intake.

Foci DECREASE in size and number at the level of less than 10 % protein intake.

 

First implication:

 

The body could remember early carcinogen insults and they could be

" restarted " or,

if you prefer, " Jump started " just by increasing protein Intake.

Second amazing implication:FOCI GROWTH COULD BE REVERSED, INCREASED OR

DECREASED, BY SWITCHING THE AMOUNT OF PROTEIN BEING CONSUMED AT ALL STAGES OF

FOCI DEVELOPMENT

 

It is time for the public to take action and to take matters into their own

hands for a better future, fully aware of the cause of this genocide. It is also

time for law makers and politicians to understand that they are not above other

fellow human beings and they will die from diseases that were mostly avoidable,

just like the poor.

 

 

Third amazing implication:

 

This is the first time in History that we know what could be the biggest

cause for the cancer epidemic, Animal Protein.

 

Fourth amazing implication:

 

This is also the first time that we can take personal control against this

disease by preventing it or reversing it!

 

Nobody is powerless anymore in the fight against cancer:

 

Genetics Versus Nutrition:

 

A report prepared for the US Congress in 1981, estimated that genetics only

determines about 2-3% of total cancer risk. In China the counties with the

highest rates of some cancers where more than 100 times greater than counties

with the lowest rates. " (1)

 

Mapping Cancer and discovering its relation with nutrition was incredibly

revealing.

 

Last logical step: check if all protein has the same effects on cancer:

 

This was also tested by Doctor Campbell and his teams of researchers. Protein

used in these experiments wich makes up of 87 % casein from cow milk. In these

experiments plant protein did not and could not promote cancer growth, even at

the higher level of intake

 

Implication:

 

That casein from milk could increase production of cancer cell in rats. However,

plant protein did not promote growth of cancer cells. Curiously most of the

practitioners of alternative medicine, very early in time, recommended their

patients to switch to a vegetarian diet. See for example: the pioneers Max

Gerson in 1946. Ann Wigmore 1960 just to cite a couple.

 

Next Dr.Campbell conducted research on mice infected with liver cancer induced

by hepatitis B.

And he got essentially the same results (1)

(1)The China Study T. Colin Campbell PHD p 63

 

Food for thought:

 

The level of protein intake causing tumor growth in rats is at the same

level that humans consume in this country (1) or in most of the Western

Countries.

(1)The China Study T. Colin Campbell PHD p 62 and 67

( 10 to 20 % of dietary Protein level )

 

Implication:

 

The results of these, and many others studies, showed Nutrition to be far

more important in controlling cancer promotion than the dose of the initiating

carcinogen "

Breast Cancer

 

The relation between animal fat and breast cancer was established by Ken Caroll

PHD in 1986

 

" Thailand, Sri Lanka and El Salvador were at the bottom of the consumers of

animal fat and at the bottom of breast Cancer statistics. At the top was UK and

Netherlands with almost 6 times more breast cancer "

 

Caroll KK, Braden LM and Bell JA " Fat and Cancer " Cancer 58

More facts on Breast Cancer

 

A very recent statistical study concludes that eating just 50 grams of red meat

– a statistic highlighted by much of the British media – also heightens the risk

of Breast Cancer.

 

The report looked at statistics from more than 35,000 women aged between 35 and

69

Between 1995 and 1998.

Breast Cancer Discoveries

 

" Findings from rural China showed that reducing dietary fat from 24% to 6% was

associated with lower breast cancer risk "

 

The China Study T. Colin Campbell PHD p 86

A Coincidence ?

 

High animal protein and refined carbohydrates:

 

Lower the age of menarche (first menstruation)

Raise the age of menopause

Increase blood cholesterol

Increase level of female hormones (especially estrogen) in the blood

What are the risk factors for breast cancer?

 

Early age of menarche

Late age of menopause

High blood cholesterol

High level of female hormones (especially estrogen)

Discoveries on estrogen from the China Study:

 

Chinese Women were 200% to 300% less exposed to estrogen than American women.

What we already know about Estrogen and Animal Protein:

 

Increase of Estrogen and related hormones are a result of a diet high in fat and

animal product and low in dietary fiber (1) (2) (3)(4) (5) (6)

Prostate Cancer

 

What we already know about Prostate Cancer and Animal Protein:

 

A 2001 Harvard review of research found that 12 out of 14 case-control studies

and that

7 out of 9 cohort studies have observed a positive association for some measure

of dairy products and Prostate Cancer in published literature.

 

In these studies, men with the highest dairy intakes had double the risk of

total prostate cancer and up to a fourfold increase in metastatic or fatal

prostate cancer.

 

This year 500,000 more people will learn that they have a cancer of the breast,

prostate or lower bowel. They represent 40% of all new cancer patients.

 

Another new discovery of The China Study:

 

It was found after analyzing the data collected in more than 2,400 counties in

China that the minimum level of Cholesterol in our " Western Country " was

equivalent to the maximum level in China.

 

Cholesterol is definitively an indicator of disease risk. Several studies have

now shown that consuming animal protein increases blood cholesterol level. (1)
