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?WE^i I had suffered the loss of one breast, and undergone radiotherapy.< n={? I was now receiving painful chemotherapy, and had been seen by some[ of the country's most eminent specialists. But, deep down, I feltn(Da certain I was facing death. I had a loving husband, a beautiful>_ home and two young children to care for. I desperately wanted to{J live.©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ KYO:z ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ $J4z Fortunately, this desire drove me to unearth the facts, some ofC which were known only to a handful of scientists at the time.h Anyone who has come into contact with breast cancer will know that': certain risk factors - such as increasing age, early onset of~~q<l womanhood, late onset of menopause and a family history of breastd cancer - are completely out of our control. But there are many riskyP7 factors, which we can control easily.'[ ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ T These "controllable" risk factors readily translate into simpleg~*Hlu changes that we can all make in our day-to-day lives to help-uT<' prevent or treat breast cancer. My message is that even advanced}o}ls breast cancer can be overcome because I have done it.zY2v.a The first clue to understanding what was promoting my breast cancer,V+2{ came when my husband Peter, who was also a scientist, arrived backE9= from working in China while I was being plugged in for ave~.Tx chemotherapy session.
He had brought with him cards and letters, as well as some amazingN?}c herbal suppositories, sent by my friends and science colleagues inN China.*<' ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ F The suppositories were sent to me as a cure for breast cancer.J Despite the awfulness of the situation, we both had a good bellyiJ3Iw. laugh, and I remember saying that this was the treatment for breast= cancer in China, then it was little wonder that Chinese women<fJ:c avoided getting the disease.3 `LO Those words echoed in my mind. Why didn't Chinese women in China+c!nIY get breast cancer? I had collaborated once with Chinese colleaguesv on a study of links between soil chemistry and disease, and IV`v,@ 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,t compared to that terrible figure of one in 12 in Britain and thecX*sz even grimmer average of one in 10 across most Western countries. It~M is not just a matter of China being a more rural country, with less?S-X urban pollution. In highly urbanized Hong Kong, the rate rises tol q 34 women in every 10,000 but still puts the West to shame.l&q The Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki have similar rates.4= And remember, both cities were attacked with nuclear weapons, so in;2 addition to the usual pollution-related cancers, one would alsoAOhS expect to find some radiation-related cases, too. Zf<n ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ 5 The conclusion we can draw from these statistics strikes you withA some force. If a Western woman were to move to industrialized,Y\J6U irradiated Hiroshima, she would slash her risk of contracting1f]IH< breast cancer by half.C ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ g Obviously this is absurd. It seemed obvious to me that someVv lifestyle factor not related to pollution, urbanization or the%W'N environment is seriously increasing the Western woman's chance of7'j7GI contracting breast cancer. I then discovered that whatever causes the huge differences in5f"xS breast cancer rates between oriental and Western countries, itI<$w+r isn't genetic. Scientific research showed that when Chinese or Japanese peopleh move to the West, within one or two generations their rates ofq breast cancer approach those of their host community.v.o: The same thing happens when oriental people adopt a completelyT Western lifestyle in Hong Kong. In fact, the slang name for breast]^l# cancer in China translates as 'Rich Woman's Disease'. This is,"g because, in China, only the better off can afford to eat what is]xx termed 'Hong Kong food'.h@JXPi ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ & The Chinese describe all Western food, including everything froms~r; ice cream and chocolate bars to spaghetti and feta cheese, as "Hongl-0RG, Kong food", because of its availability in the former British4J2aDS colony and its scarcity, in the past, in mainland China.FT,D)P So it made perfect sense to me that whatever was causing my breast[@wY cancer and the shockingly high incidence in this3 @ country generally, it was almost certainly something to do with our better-off,&%lt<8 middle-class, Western lifestyle. 0KRzn^ ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ g@ There is an important point for men here, too. I have observed inaJQ my research that much of the data about prostate cancer leads to9 similar conclusions. According to figures from the World Health Organization, the number[/)~y of men contracting prostate cancer in rural China is negligible,Fq only 0.5 men in every 100,000. In England, Scotland and Wales,fE however, this figure is 70 times higher. Like breast cancer, it isS a middle-class disease that primarily attacks the wealthier and'xv_[ higher socio-economic groups - those that can afford to eat richwK5{ foods.ct}nO ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ ieo `M I remember saying to my husband, "Come on Peter, you have just come Z 9 back from China. What is it about the Chinese way of life that isD;PX so different?" Why don't they get breast cancer?'# We decided to utilize our joint scientific backgrounds and approachuj[GP it logically. We examined scientific data that pointed us in the generalS direction of fats in diets. Researchers had discovered in the 1980s8t[f that only l4% of calories in the average Chinese diet were from2ji.I fat, compared to almost 36% in the West.v) ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ "e/$^\ But the diet I had been living on for years before I contractedGr.tw~ breast cancer was very low in fat and high in fibre. Besides, I0\Nj} knew as a scientist that fat intake in adults has not been shown tob@wwH increase risk for breast cancer in most investigations that haveQ\5 followed large groups of women for up to a dozen years.A Then one day something rather special happened. Peter and I have7sP6x worked together so closely over the years that I am not sure whichj`[ one of us first said: "The Chinese don't eat dairy produce!"%paAo> It is hard to explain to a non-scientist the sudden mental andUB$V emotional 'buzz' you get when you know you have had an importantI*m insight. It's as if you have had a lot of pieces of a jigsaw in_v>Ap your mind, and suddenly, in a few seconds, they all fall into placeG"r and the whole picture is clear.
Suddenly I recalled how many Chinese people were physically unableC/9x[ to tolerate milk, how the Chinese people I had worked with had>YRY always said that milk was only for babies, and how one of mygd close friends, who is of Chinese origin, always politely turned down theS8h@H cheese course at dinner parties. I knew of no Chinese people who lived a traditional Chinese lifeAT who ever used cow or other dairy food to feed their babies. TheyMoWcm tradition was to use a wet nurse but never, ever, dairy products.E%Z8} Culturally, the Chinese find our Western preoccupation with milkg;qd and milk products very strange. I remember entertaining a largem{G delegation of Chinese scientists shortly after the ending of theeb Cultural Revolution in the 1980s.Pih3"~ ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ eS> On advice from the Foreign Office, we had asked the caterer to^ provide a pudding that contained a lot of ice cream. After06-t inquiring what the pudding consisted of, all of the Chinese,fH including their interpreter, politely but firmly refused to eat it,JP/Ke and they could not be persuaded to change their minds.J3H}YU At the time we were all delighted and ate extra portions!7?g} Milk, I discovered, is one of the most common causes of foodv55YG allergies. Over 70% of the world's population are unable to digestc_/H the milk sugar, lactose, which has led nutritionists to believe8 that this is the normal condition for adults, not some sort ofdwVUU deficiency.4*vru& ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ h@ Perhaps nature is trying to tell us that we are eating the wrongS_Q food. Before I had breast cancer for the first time, I had eaten a lot of%*j1Y dairy produce, such as skimmed milk, low-fat cheese and yoghurt. Iqa:n/ had used it as my main source of protein. I also ate cheap but lean8-8,f minced beef, which I now realized was probably often ground-up9t#M6L dairy cow. In order to cope with the chemotherapy I received for my fifth caseh-\ of cancer, I had been eating organic yoghurts as a way of helpingru my digestive tract to recover and repopulate my gut with 'good'x. bacteria.<( ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ Boch X Recently, I discovered that way back in 1989 yoghurt had beennT71GL implicated in ovarian cancer. Dr Daniel Cramer of Harvard~iy)3a University studied hundreds of women with ovarian cancer, and hadlQ4}wa them record in detail what they normally ate. wish I'd been made^8x* aware of his findings when he had first discovered them.sH ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ A|}(j' Following Peter's and my insight into the Chinese diet, I decided$*ET>O to give up not just yoghurt but all dairy produce immediately.P Cheese, butter, milk and yoghurt and anything else that containedf=)/g dairy produce - it went down the sink or in the rubbish.~I ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ 6v1~0 It is surprising how many products, including commercial soups,/@iDo\ biscuits and cakes, contain some form of dairy produce. Even manyb+3+ proprietary brands of margarine marketed as soya, sunflower orj olive oil spreads can contain dairy produce. % ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ Q I therefore became an avid reader of the small print on food;]#G"$ labels. Up to this point, I had been steadfastly measuring the progress of?Vp my fifth cancerous lump with callipers and plotting the results.\ Despite all the encouraging comments and positive feedback from my5)W doctors and nurses, my own precise observations told me the bitterg7)G8 truth. My first chemotherapy sessions had produced no effect - the lumpe} was still the same size.]hto ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ (E|N Then I eliminated dairy products. Within days, the lump started to5$- shrink.yO?3_ ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ dd About two weeks after my second chemotherapy session and one weekmTH(* after giving up dairy produce, the lump in my neck started to itch.Y+j Then it began to soften and to reduce in size. The line on them.a graph, which had shown no change, was now pointing downwards as thegw-!y tumour got smaller and smaller. And, very significantly, I noted that instead of declining_n'S exponentially (a graceful curve) as cancer is meant to do, the+ tumour's decrease in size was plotted on a straight line headingf off the bottom of the graph, indicating a cure, not suppression (orV remission) of the tumour." ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ ITdL One Saturday afternoon after about six weeks of excluding all dairy4%v produce from my diet, I practised an hour of meditation then feltN~ for what was left of the lump. I couldn't find it. Yet I was very:9 experienced at detecting cancerous lumps - I had discovered all+ five cancers on my own. I went downstairs and asked my husband toDp feel my neck. He could not find any trace of the lump either.6 On the following Thursday I was due to be seen by my cancer7z*&9 specialist at Charing Cross Hospital in London. He examined me^( thoroughly, especially my neck where the tumour had been. He wase(!#& initially bemused and then delighted as he said, "I cannot find(;!/ it."©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ x ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ :ukd? None of my doctors, it appeared, had expected someone with my type`i and stage of cancer (which had clearly spread to the lymph system)LVBC*# to survive, let alone be so hale and hearty. E!9 ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ 5 My specialist was as overjoyed as I was. When I first discussed my%l1])` ideas with him he was understandably skeptical. But I understand{ q that he now uses maps showing cancer portality in China in his@I8== lectures, and recommends a non-dairy diet to his cancer patients.Yp( I now believe that the link between dairy produce and breast cancer#FH^L is similar to the link between smoking and lung cancer. I believevN that identifying the link between breast cancer and dairy produce,QR and then developing a diet specifically targeted at maintaining theX health of my breast and hormone system, cured me.SV? It was difficult for me, as it may be for you, to accept that ak substance as 'natural' as milk might have such ominous health]Bs[ implications. But I am a living proof that it works and, starting6V8f%0 from tomorrow, I shall reveal the secrets of my revolutionaryAA} action plan.lA ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ RThW"
