I had no alternative but to die or to try to find a cure for myself. I am a scientist - surely there was a rational explanation for this cruel illness that affects one in 12 women in the UK?H[f<^n I had suffered the loss of one breast, and undergone radiotherapy.Lg}uq I was now receiving painful chemotherapy, and had been seen by some- of the country's most eminent specialists. But, deep down, I feltk#g certain I was facing death. I had a loving husband, a beautiful+Y home and two young children to care for. I desperately wanted towX,'R= live.©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ d_ ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ w/h Fortunately, this desire drove me to unearth the facts, some ofMY>iD/ which were known only to a handful of scientists at the time.Z> Anyone who has come into contact with breast cancer will know thatAw certain risk factors - such as increasing age, early onset ofXme<@ womanhood, late onset of menopause and a family history of breastF cancer - are completely out of our control. But there are many riskbe factors, which we can control easily.a$+X. ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ X|XL These "controllable" risk factors readily translate into simpleT changes that we can all make in our day-to-day lives to help"MQ|? prevent or treat breast cancer. My message is that even advancedXh* breast cancer can be overcome because I have done it."^'3l The first clue to understanding what was promoting my breast cancers-Ewx came when my husband Peter, who was also a scientist, arrived backDIQ" from working in China while I was being plugged in for a3 chemotherapy session.
He had brought with him cards and letters, as well as some amazing*}-G herbal suppositories, sent by my friends and science colleagues inPA]f China.US ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ Jn oP The suppositories were sent to me as a cure for breast cancer.^L6|ir Despite the awfulness of the situation, we both had a good bellyazkUr laugh, and I remember saying that this was the treatment for breastT# cancer in China, then it was little wonder that Chinese womenu avoided getting the disease.Ze? Those words echoed in my mind. Why didn't Chinese women in China`J get breast cancer? I had collaborated once with Chinese colleaguesP on a study of links between soil chemistry and disease, and IP remembered some of the statistics. The disease was virtually non-existent throughout the whole country. Only one in 10,000 women in China will die from it,NX compared to that terrible figure of one in 12 in Britain and thePm;e even grimmer average of one in 10 across most Western countries. Itc is not just a matter of China being a more rural country, with lessam5}B urban pollution. In highly urbanized Hong Kong, the rate rises toER 34 women in every 10,000 but still puts the West to shame.0# The Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki have similar rates.%NJk And remember, both cities were attacked with nuclear weapons, so inOXy addition to the usual pollution-related cancers, one would alsop<e8P expect to find some radiation-related cases, too. Un` ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ Z>};T The conclusion we can draw from these statistics strikes you with+_.{\ some force. If a Western woman were to move to industrialized,<A irradiated Hiroshima, she would slash her risk of contracting=(T7` breast cancer by half.t`.U ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ XbJ*u Obviously this is absurd. It seemed obvious to me that some}|^}dz lifestyle factor not related to pollution, urbanization or thetUd? environment is seriously increasing the Western woman's chance of|%g contracting breast cancer. I then discovered that whatever causes the huge differences in~~ breast cancer rates between oriental and Western countries, itTG+# isn't genetic. Scientific research showed that when Chinese or Japanese people(0&8= move to the West, within one or two generations their rates of? breast cancer approach those of their host community.j The same thing happens when oriental people adopt a completely46<gL> Western lifestyle in Hong Kong. In fact, the slang name for breastG= cancer in China translates as 'Rich Woman's Disease'. This isDChTOc because, in China, only the better off can afford to eat what isEz% termed 'Hong Kong food'.L" ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ = The Chinese describe all Western food, including everything from?#7@,# ice cream and chocolate bars to spaghetti and feta cheese, as "HonggeW Kong food", because of its availability in the former BritishK colony and its scarcity, in the past, in mainland China.J7 So it made perfect sense to me that whatever was causing my breastz74d cancer and the shockingly high incidence in thisj;4/o country generally, it was almost certainly something to do with our better-off,m]kAj middle-class, Western lifestyle. A$^{ ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ $~`6GF There is an important point for men here, too. I have observed ineI"* my research that much of the data about prostate cancer leads toQ^ similar conclusions. According to figures from the World Health Organization, the number}:ol?X of men contracting prostate cancer in rural China is negligible,-]c only 0.5 men in every 100,000. In England, Scotland and Wales,y.K?A^ however, this figure is 70 times higher. Like breast cancer, it isIc7 a middle-class disease that primarily attacks the wealthier andPb higher socio-economic groups - those that can afford to eat rich{+Wf foods.c? ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ G0a\f I remember saying to my husband, "Come on Peter, you have just come&qVRuI back from China. What is it about the Chinese way of life that is9tSul$ so different?" Why don't they get breast cancer?'[Eh_e\ We decided to utilize our joint scientific backgrounds and approach! it logically. We examined scientific data that pointed us in the generalC{Y direction of fats in diets. Researchers had discovered in the 1980st@ that only l4% of calories in the average Chinese diet were fromw7`=tm fat, compared to almost 36% in the West.~g ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ =$zl. But the diet I had been living on for years before I contractedpJ breast cancer was very low in fat and high in fibre. Besides, IU*nQpz knew as a scientist that fat intake in adults has not been shown to1 increase risk for breast cancer in most investigations that havew^q]a followed large groups of women for up to a dozen years.H[5aT Then one day something rather special happened. Peter and I havelz worked together so closely over the years that I am not sure which&$ one of us first said: "The Chinese don't eat dairy produce!"U<4lV It is hard to explain to a non-scientist the sudden mental and)o]cr^ emotional 'buzz' you get when you know you have had an importantgE9CR6 insight. It's as if you have had a lot of pieces of a jigsaw inJ|8fdq your mind, and suddenly, in a few seconds, they all fall into placeLz\WBw and the whole picture is clear.
Suddenly I recalled how many Chinese people were physically unable6aE to tolerate milk, how the Chinese people I had worked with hadhrI&{ always said that milk was only for babies, and how one of myjfEt close friends, who is of Chinese origin, always politely turned down thebl+bmQ cheese course at dinner parties. I knew of no Chinese people who lived a traditional Chinese life2 who ever used cow or other dairy food to feed their babies. TheWB tradition was to use a wet nurse but never, ever, dairy products.uMw Culturally, the Chinese find our Western preoccupation with milkOl!t and milk products very strange. I remember entertaining a large.$s delegation of Chinese scientists shortly after the ending of theG Cultural Revolution in the 1980s.:8 ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ E On advice from the Foreign Office, we had asked the caterer to}zl< provide a pudding that contained a lot of ice cream. Aftero inquiring what the pudding consisted of, all of the Chinese,gB5 including their interpreter, politely but firmly refused to eat it, t,<0 and they could not be persuaded to change their minds..8\ At the time we were all delighted and ate extra portions!e@5 Milk, I discovered, is one of the most common causes of foodFfML allergies. Over 70% of the world's population are unable to digestWC0Cm the milk sugar, lactose, which has led nutritionists to believeroI0_r that this is the normal condition for adults, not some sort ofm deficiency.uJ!Q ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ 8 Perhaps nature is trying to tell us that we are eating the wronga[gOd, food. Before I had breast cancer for the first time, I had eaten a lot ofS;2L0 dairy produce, such as skimmed milk, low-fat cheese and yoghurt. I{F, had used it as my main source of protein. I also ate cheap but leanC]5> minced beef, which I now realized was probably often ground-up?G dairy cow. In order to cope with the chemotherapy I received for my fifth casedg of cancer, I had been eating organic yoghurts as a way of helpingg my digestive tract to recover and repopulate my gut with 'good'5:E[_ bacteria.'KA! ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ 2TRI Recently, I discovered that way back in 1989 yoghurt had beent^]gBq implicated in ovarian cancer. Dr Daniel Cramer of Harvardh;`n University studied hundreds of women with ovarian cancer, and had| them record in detail what they normally ate. wish I'd been madeazri` aware of his findings when he had first discovered them.F'F ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ H&x[; Following Peter's and my insight into the Chinese diet, I decidede$9 to give up not just yoghurt but all dairy produce immediately._5[J@@ Cheese, butter, milk and yoghurt and anything else that containedeO-& dairy produce - it went down the sink or in the rubbish.u ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ ( It is surprising how many products, including commercial soups,V"Z biscuits and cakes, contain some form of dairy produce. Even manym9p%uh proprietary brands of margarine marketed as soya, sunflower or"K;jQD olive oil spreads can contain dairy produce. O$}>y ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ kh I therefore became an avid reader of the small print on foodj'= labels. Up to this point, I had been steadfastly measuring the progress ofZ+8 my fifth cancerous lump with callipers and plotting the results.cDTI* Despite all the encouraging comments and positive feedback from mye8=< doctors and nurses, my own precise observations told me the bitter,%w truth. My first chemotherapy sessions had produced no effect - the lumpv was still the same size.m4{ ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ jF Then I eliminated dairy products. Within days, the lump started toYE shrink.<> ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ H7"m` About two weeks after my second chemotherapy session and one week7,TO after giving up dairy produce, the lump in my neck started to itch.5> Then it began to soften and to reduce in size. The line on the; graph, which had shown no change, was now pointing downwards as the-oxt tumour got smaller and smaller. And, very significantly, I noted that instead of decliningJ.| exponentially (a graceful curve) as cancer is meant to do, the}8;\Z tumour's decrease in size was plotted on a straight line headingatc off the bottom of the graph, indicating a cure, not suppression (or< remission) of the tumour.zwG,#E ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ D,BF?| One Saturday afternoon after about six weeks of excluding all dairy6=?5 produce from my diet, I practised an hour of meditation then felt$x" for what was left of the lump. I couldn't find it. Yet I was very<"O8 experienced at detecting cancerous lumps - I had discovered allz,cG8 five cancers on my own. I went downstairs and asked my husband to%) feel my neck. He could not find any trace of the lump either.H On the following Thursday I was due to be seen by my cancerHLf, specialist at Charing Cross Hospital in London. He examined meA thoroughly, especially my neck where the tumour had been. He waszL-H initially bemused and then delighted as he said, "I cannot find"W~}Cc it."©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ wl1 ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ F None of my doctors, it appeared, had expected someone with my type<]h and stage of cancer (which had clearly spread to the lymph system)^ to survive, let alone be so hale and hearty. (}b ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ Od My specialist was as overjoyed as I was. When I first discussed mypALjA6 ideas with him he was understandably skeptical. But I understandUl9P that he now uses maps showing cancer portality in China in hisWLrw- lectures, and recommends a non-dairy diet to his cancer patients.M<a<T> I now believe that the link between dairy produce and breast cancerV\"b is similar to the link between smoking and lung cancer. I believecJz`6 that identifying the link between breast cancer and dairy produce,SPbS and then developing a diet specifically targeted at maintaining the0#2 health of my breast and hormone system, cured me.M It was difficult for me, as it may be for you, to accept that aN')} substance as 'natural' as milk might have such ominous health#c@ implications. But I am a living proof that it works and, starting3o(7X from tomorrow, I shall reveal the secrets of my revolutionary4; action plan.~7}^F ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ L#1.
