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?3 I had suffered the loss of one breast, and undergone radiotherapy.mNs I was now receiving painful chemotherapy, and had been seen by some. of the country's most eminent specialists. But, deep down, I felt%J;'2 certain I was facing death. I had a loving husband, a beautiful;2~Cj7 home and two young children to care for. I desperately wanted to3g live.©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ i"b ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ jr3 Fortunately, this desire drove me to unearth the facts, some ofimg+ which were known only to a handful of scientists at the time.oyBiY Anyone who has come into contact with breast cancer will know that{KJ certain risk factors - such as increasing age, early onset of>u#4 womanhood, late onset of menopause and a family history of breast1'mp cancer - are completely out of our control. But there are many risk>o*B factors, which we can control easily.|p ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ ,TD:, These "controllable" risk factors readily translate into simple8-&> changes that we can all make in our day-to-day lives to help<d prevent or treat breast cancer. My message is that even advanced*sn$## breast cancer can be overcome because I have done it.wnmc9l The first clue to understanding what was promoting my breast cancer+ came when my husband Peter, who was also a scientist, arrived back. from working in China while I was being plugged in for a@0 chemotherapy session.
He had brought with him cards and letters, as well as some amazingx1bFa herbal suppositories, sent by my friends and science colleagues in?\cT China.54C]7L ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ [ The suppositories were sent to me as a cure for breast cancer.?X3 Despite the awfulness of the situation, we both had a good belly9W laugh, and I remember saying that this was the treatment for breasth cancer in China, then it was little wonder that Chinese women:}Z avoided getting the disease.q Those words echoed in my mind. Why didn't Chinese women in ChinaekT(LU get breast cancer? I had collaborated once with Chinese colleagueseR6 on a study of links between soil chemistry and disease, and I? remembered some of the statistics. The disease was virtually non-existent throughout the whole country. Only one in 10,000 women in China will die from it,N compared to that terrible figure of one in 12 in Britain and them?/ even grimmer average of one in 10 across most Western countries. ItPU#- is not just a matter of China being a more rural country, with lessT$Fp urban pollution. In highly urbanized Hong Kong, the rate rises to:gU4P 34 women in every 10,000 but still puts the West to shame.-D- The Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki have similar rates.lYS' And remember, both cities were attacked with nuclear weapons, so inq addition to the usual pollution-related cancers, one would also;Wc8;s expect to find some radiation-related cases, too. N ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ (S!e-e The conclusion we can draw from these statistics strikes you withtp2-6 some force. If a Western woman were to move to industrialized,{E irradiated Hiroshima, she would slash her risk of contractingZSem breast cancer by half.w4*]} ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ Mz9 Obviously this is absurd. It seemed obvious to me that some#l*B lifestyle factor not related to pollution, urbanization or theC environment is seriously increasing the Western woman's chance ofe contracting breast cancer. I then discovered that whatever causes the huge differences in8@5 breast cancer rates between oriental and Western countries, it|n<| isn't genetic. Scientific research showed that when Chinese or Japanese peopleU,; move to the West, within one or two generations their rates of9{TrN breast cancer approach those of their host community.*l The same thing happens when oriental people adopt a completelydeI Western lifestyle in Hong Kong. In fact, the slang name for breast| cancer in China translates as 'Rich Woman's Disease'. This isg.8" because, in China, only the better off can afford to eat what isrH termed 'Hong Kong food'.\"} ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ 0} The Chinese describe all Western food, including everything fromjVKqsD ice cream and chocolate bars to spaghetti and feta cheese, as "Hong0 Kong food", because of its availability in the former British>xtBi colony and its scarcity, in the past, in mainland China.}->Cn! So it made perfect sense to me that whatever was causing my breastGegg8 cancer and the shockingly high incidence in thiswq{dY^ country generally, it was almost certainly something to do with our better-off,@Dg middle-class, Western lifestyle. YM{6 ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ (z\H There is an important point for men here, too. I have observed in,R? my research that much of the data about prostate cancer leads to5+Q similar conclusions. According to figures from the World Health Organization, the numbero of men contracting prostate cancer in rural China is negligible,u; only 0.5 men in every 100,000. In England, Scotland and Wales,SO however, this figure is 70 times higher. Like breast cancer, it is[ a middle-class disease that primarily attacks the wealthier andXhf higher socio-economic groups - those that can afford to eat richn# foods. Qb ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ PSlp0 I remember saying to my husband, "Come on Peter, you have just comeM back from China. What is it about the Chinese way of life that is@~tK so different?" Why don't they get breast cancer?'(\qY$ We decided to utilize our joint scientific backgrounds and approachLj>[1Q it logically. We examined scientific data that pointed us in the general^n direction of fats in diets. Researchers had discovered in the 1980sZs0 that only l4% of calories in the average Chinese diet were fromM-JA fat, compared to almost 36% in the West._HbS ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ ":nGm But the diet I had been living on for years before I contracteda breast cancer was very low in fat and high in fibre. Besides, IZ?mx knew as a scientist that fat intake in adults has not been shown to{U' increase risk for breast cancer in most investigations that haveW1> followed large groups of women for up to a dozen years.}TgJt+ Then one day something rather special happened. Peter and I haveH\?T worked together so closely over the years that I am not sure which0YX< one of us first said: "The Chinese don't eat dairy produce!"WKoS It is hard to explain to a non-scientist the sudden mental andXWMS)4 emotional 'buzz' you get when you know you have had an importantC?I8pM insight. It's as if you have had a lot of pieces of a jigsaw inp your mind, and suddenly, in a few seconds, they all fall into place$J and the whole picture is clear.
Suddenly I recalled how many Chinese people were physically unableuL to tolerate milk, how the Chinese people I had worked with hadq always said that milk was only for babies, and how one of myQ`k= close friends, who is of Chinese origin, always politely turned down theIo%x6 cheese course at dinner parties. I knew of no Chinese people who lived a traditional Chinese lifewU" who ever used cow or other dairy food to feed their babies. TheR6DkU] tradition was to use a wet nurse but never, ever, dairy products.Y Culturally, the Chinese find our Western preoccupation with milkJ and milk products very strange. I remember entertaining a large&!/] delegation of Chinese scientists shortly after the ending of thee) Cultural Revolution in the 1980s.7Q4, ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ JE On advice from the Foreign Office, we had asked the caterer toRu'70' provide a pudding that contained a lot of ice cream. After&b inquiring what the pudding consisted of, all of the Chinese,1A%- including their interpreter, politely but firmly refused to eat it,[8K6#p and they could not be persuaded to change their minds.O\l$X At the time we were all delighted and ate extra portions!J3 Milk, I discovered, is one of the most common causes of foodK allergies. Over 70% of the world's population are unable to digestm4= the milk sugar, lactose, which has led nutritionists to believe7JH&Y1 that this is the normal condition for adults, not some sort ofI2{ deficiency.U ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ 5 Perhaps nature is trying to tell us that we are eating the wrongT )> food. Before I had breast cancer for the first time, I had eaten a lot of!G|E dairy produce, such as skimmed milk, low-fat cheese and yoghurt. IU7q? had used it as my main source of protein. I also ate cheap but lean^y6S minced beef, which I now realized was probably often ground-upG"II8J dairy cow. In order to cope with the chemotherapy I received for my fifth caseY[ a@K of cancer, I had been eating organic yoghurts as a way of helping*K my digestive tract to recover and repopulate my gut with 'good'GM| bacteria.{@-;o ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ VJDHW Recently, I discovered that way back in 1989 yoghurt had beenqECy implicated in ovarian cancer. Dr Daniel Cramer of Harvard`R@Vyf University studied hundreds of women with ovarian cancer, and hadK9y them record in detail what they normally ate. wish I'd been madeaE(h aware of his findings when he had first discovered them.rinD' ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ ~ZJ Following Peter's and my insight into the Chinese diet, I decidedfH3SP` to give up not just yoghurt but all dairy produce immediately.2Bzi$ Cheese, butter, milk and yoghurt and anything else that containedI6 dairy produce - it went down the sink or in the rubbish._m24}N ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ Z It is surprising how many products, including commercial soups,ip biscuits and cakes, contain some form of dairy produce. Even manyB~t proprietary brands of margarine marketed as soya, sunflower or&W+(xV olive oil spreads can contain dairy produce. Y8Py ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ F I therefore became an avid reader of the small print on food8 labels. Up to this point, I had been steadfastly measuring the progress of@ my fifth cancerous lump with callipers and plotting the results.aOF Despite all the encouraging comments and positive feedback from myI4P9\ doctors and nurses, my own precise observations told me the bitter= truth. My first chemotherapy sessions had produced no effect - the lumplS</ was still the same size.CYd@Rt ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ Xg Then I eliminated dairy products. Within days, the lump started to28u(x shrink.Y ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ CN About two weeks after my second chemotherapy session and one week3B.Qr} after giving up dairy produce, the lump in my neck started to itch.hz:nk Then it began to soften and to reduce in size. The line on theOhX graph, which had shown no change, was now pointing downwards as thepE4 tumour got smaller and smaller. And, very significantly, I noted that instead of declining3@N exponentially (a graceful curve) as cancer is meant to do, thex@n tumour's decrease in size was plotted on a straight line heading[%Y@ off the bottom of the graph, indicating a cure, not suppression (orig remission) of the tumour.2~<a ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ >k*44 One Saturday afternoon after about six weeks of excluding all dairyoo_ produce from my diet, I practised an hour of meditation then feltlShC4@ for what was left of the lump. I couldn't find it. Yet I was veryLEmu experienced at detecting cancerous lumps - I had discovered all%?N five cancers on my own. I went downstairs and asked my husband toF.M: feel my neck. He could not find any trace of the lump either.- On the following Thursday I was due to be seen by my cancer3xHO specialist at Charing Cross Hospital in London. He examined meA thoroughly, especially my neck where the tumour had been. He was7 initially bemused and then delighted as he said, "I cannot find+x1 it."©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ !rNy ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ so None of my doctors, it appeared, had expected someone with my type%@_17 and stage of cancer (which had clearly spread to the lymph system)CqQZ to survive, let alone be so hale and hearty. ik3: ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ %Z My specialist was as overjoyed as I was. When I first discussed myV^ ideas with him he was understandably skeptical. But I understandO that he now uses maps showing cancer portality in China in hiscEf2] lectures, and recommends a non-dairy diet to his cancer patients.Y I now believe that the link between dairy produce and breast cancerP]-dQ is similar to the link between smoking and lung cancer. I believeJunc that identifying the link between breast cancer and dairy produce,'p and then developing a diet specifically targeted at maintaining theQ health of my breast and hormone system, cured me.RVm It was difficult for me, as it may be for you, to accept that a,ku=1 substance as 'natural' as milk might have such ominous health2p7 implications. But I am a living proof that it works and, starting}Lw*4/ from tomorrow, I shall reveal the secrets of my revolutionaryGp action plan.Zvn ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ 3}J1
