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?8F[u}d I had suffered the loss of one breast, and undergone radiotherapy." I was now receiving painful chemotherapy, and had been seen by some}RQ; of the country's most eminent specialists. But, deep down, I felt_(3 certain I was facing death. I had a loving husband, a beautiful9 home and two young children to care for. I desperately wanted tocs; live.©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ JmJ" ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ F Fortunately, this desire drove me to unearth the facts, some oftI!_R@ which were known only to a handful of scientists at the time.H4,+qF Anyone who has come into contact with breast cancer will know that|HI~A_ certain risk factors - such as increasing age, early onset ofBBbu) womanhood, late onset of menopause and a family history of breast'&" cancer - are completely out of our control. But there are many riskOZ]s factors, which we can control easily.?]$7 ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ i These "controllable" risk factors readily translate into simple`]q5 changes that we can all make in our day-to-day lives to help+<O$ prevent or treat breast cancer. My message is that even advanced8Jjr' breast cancer can be overcome because I have done it.! The first clue to understanding what was promoting my breast cancerjM came when my husband Peter, who was also a scientist, arrived backk%Qv[A from working in China while I was being plugged in for aIz chemotherapy session.
He had brought with him cards and letters, as well as some amazing/|Kf herbal suppositories, sent by my friends and science colleagues inBl,L China.s+_3D5 ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ &;2ZOT The suppositories were sent to me as a cure for breast cancer.=2_| Despite the awfulness of the situation, we both had a good bellycn laugh, and I remember saying that this was the treatment for breast;u+k cancer in China, then it was little wonder that Chinese women)< avoided getting the disease.5 v Those words echoed in my mind. Why didn't Chinese women in Chinah"y!C get breast cancer? I had collaborated once with Chinese colleagues6M<X on a study of links between soil chemistry and disease, and Ic 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,$% compared to that terrible figure of one in 12 in Britain and theOzn]qw even grimmer average of one in 10 across most Western countries. Itt/4'w is not just a matter of China being a more rural country, with less@ urban pollution. In highly urbanized Hong Kong, the rate rises toNK 34 women in every 10,000 but still puts the West to shame.,sY$=+ The Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki have similar rates.^jxyFK And remember, both cities were attacked with nuclear weapons, so in~Wx addition to the usual pollution-related cancers, one would alsoC(= expect to find some radiation-related cases, too. #-S ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ J The conclusion we can draw from these statistics strikes you with;yI' some force. If a Western woman were to move to industrialized,DO+ irradiated Hiroshima, she would slash her risk of contracting :l5c breast cancer by half.~XC[h ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ V&hcO Obviously this is absurd. It seemed obvious to me that some@w9Tg lifestyle factor not related to pollution, urbanization or the. environment is seriously increasing the Western woman's chance ofTb contracting breast cancer. I then discovered that whatever causes the huge differences ink5K breast cancer rates between oriental and Western countries, itzU5W isn't genetic. Scientific research showed that when Chinese or Japanese people[email protected] move to the West, within one or two generations their rates of`I< breast cancer approach those of their host community.x;5U} The same thing happens when oriental people adopt a completelyk=GrKp Western lifestyle in Hong Kong. In fact, the slang name for breast'g|Y" cancer in China translates as 'Rich Woman's Disease'. This issn7M because, in China, only the better off can afford to eat what isNw[?\{ termed 'Hong Kong food'.G"O*pY ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ `& The Chinese describe all Western food, including everything fromKmJr,q ice cream and chocolate bars to spaghetti and feta cheese, as "HongW%?~w Kong food", because of its availability in the former British} colony and its scarcity, in the past, in mainland China.pQh$7D So it made perfect sense to me that whatever was causing my breastT.NwI cancer and the shockingly high incidence in thisBm3TQR country generally, it was almost certainly something to do with our better-off,tM|7 middle-class, Western lifestyle. : ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ -nC There is an important point for men here, too. I have observed in6E my research that much of the data about prostate cancer leads to. h/* similar conclusions. According to figures from the World Health Organization, the numberY of men contracting prostate cancer in rural China is negligible,]1A-q[ only 0.5 men in every 100,000. In England, Scotland and Wales,4W however, this figure is 70 times higher. Like breast cancer, it isx a middle-class disease that primarily attacks the wealthier andfmd higher socio-economic groups - those that can afford to eat richc foods. ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ [C I remember saying to my husband, "Come on Peter, you have just come^D@ back from China. What is it about the Chinese way of life that is:v,n so different?" Why don't they get breast cancer?'/Cl5c We decided to utilize our joint scientific backgrounds and approachoE it logically. We examined scientific data that pointed us in the generalo\ direction of fats in diets. Researchers had discovered in the 1980sr,t!R8 that only l4% of calories in the average Chinese diet were fromQ- fat, compared to almost 36% in the West.FR ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ Y But the diet I had been living on for years before I contractedG%2~ breast cancer was very low in fat and high in fibre. Besides, IB`q knew as a scientist that fat intake in adults has not been shown toUa$R: increase risk for breast cancer in most investigations that haveuA; followed large groups of women for up to a dozen years.9# Then one day something rather special happened. Peter and I have#yH worked together so closely over the years that I am not sure whichd one of us first said: "The Chinese don't eat dairy produce!"?P It is hard to explain to a non-scientist the sudden mental andMIG. emotional 'buzz' you get when you know you have had an importantkXgj; insight. It's as if you have had a lot of pieces of a jigsaw inf# your mind, and suddenly, in a few seconds, they all fall into placeu?81i and the whole picture is clear.
Suddenly I recalled how many Chinese people were physically unablekt2 to tolerate milk, how the Chinese people I had worked with had,#2 always said that milk was only for babies, and how one of my\m close friends, who is of Chinese origin, always politely turned down the/1 cheese course at dinner parties. I knew of no Chinese people who lived a traditional Chinese lifeAIU(p who ever used cow or other dairy food to feed their babies. The[ tradition was to use a wet nurse but never, ever, dairy products.<2P.'y Culturally, the Chinese find our Western preoccupation with milkUN_J and milk products very strange. I remember entertaining a largeUM delegation of Chinese scientists shortly after the ending of the,mj=6 Cultural Revolution in the 1980s.I nFe ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ N3IzOX On advice from the Foreign Office, we had asked the caterer toYA\ provide a pudding that contained a lot of ice cream. Afterkq!>Iq inquiring what the pudding consisted of, all of the Chinese,^rEj including their interpreter, politely but firmly refused to eat it,7X0mty and they could not be persuaded to change their minds.(j|~N At the time we were all delighted and ate extra portions!pN'C( Milk, I discovered, is one of the most common causes of food- allergies. Over 70% of the world's population are unable to digestW= the milk sugar, lactose, which has led nutritionists to believe,'5 that this is the normal condition for adults, not some sort ofO>P deficiency.Fz!B\ ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ fx$:9 Perhaps nature is trying to tell us that we are eating the wrong:i food. Before I had breast cancer for the first time, I had eaten a lot of<H. dairy produce, such as skimmed milk, low-fat cheese and yoghurt. I:pg# had used it as my main source of protein. I also ate cheap but leanI*Ae% minced beef, which I now realized was probably often ground-up!D dairy cow. In order to cope with the chemotherapy I received for my fifth case6%-%~ of cancer, I had been eating organic yoghurts as a way of helpingBk my digestive tract to recover and repopulate my gut with 'good'~ bacteria.8V^ ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ IMNlD Recently, I discovered that way back in 1989 yoghurt had been|*| implicated in ovarian cancer. Dr Daniel Cramer of Harvard49^1 University studied hundreds of women with ovarian cancer, and hadRy(tk] them record in detail what they normally ate. wish I'd been made4Hq& aware of his findings when he had first discovered them.jn~ ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ eeF Following Peter's and my insight into the Chinese diet, I decidedZUnb to give up not just yoghurt but all dairy produce immediately.W4Y. Cheese, butter, milk and yoghurt and anything else that containedl}X= dairy produce - it went down the sink or in the rubbish.<Z ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ F[] It is surprising how many products, including commercial soups,P\ biscuits and cakes, contain some form of dairy produce. Even manyqmo proprietary brands of margarine marketed as soya, sunflower orad*7 olive oil spreads can contain dairy produce. GBHh- ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ c9,v I therefore became an avid reader of the small print on foodje labels. Up to this point, I had been steadfastly measuring the progress of\j6(M my fifth cancerous lump with callipers and plotting the results.?BP Despite all the encouraging comments and positive feedback from my> doctors and nurses, my own precise observations told me the bitter? truth. My first chemotherapy sessions had produced no effect - the lump1 was still the same size.ifnr ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ OZ Then I eliminated dairy products. Within days, the lump started tobK shrink.n}- ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ CV$ About two weeks after my second chemotherapy session and one week+)bn7 after giving up dairy produce, the lump in my neck started to itch.6 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 thehwt3f tumour got smaller and smaller. And, very significantly, I noted that instead of declining#](Vw exponentially (a graceful curve) as cancer is meant to do, theO=*-gR tumour's decrease in size was plotted on a straight line heading*l off the bottom of the graph, indicating a cure, not suppression (orD remission) of the tumour.s|0 ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ 9j$l| One Saturday afternoon after about six weeks of excluding all dairyUR produce from my diet, I practised an hour of meditation then feltd for what was left of the lump. I couldn't find it. Yet I was veryfsT experienced at detecting cancerous lumps - I had discovered allYI#5-` five cancers on my own. I went downstairs and asked my husband toc2 feel my neck. He could not find any trace of the lump either.YEi>Yj On the following Thursday I was due to be seen by my cancer+to% specialist at Charing Cross Hospital in London. He examined me2W1aWx thoroughly, especially my neck where the tumour had been. He was5?.NWs initially bemused and then delighted as he said, "I cannot find^6RK it."©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ % ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ l<B?c None of my doctors, it appeared, had expected someone with my type0pJKa and stage of cancer (which had clearly spread to the lymph system)u to survive, let alone be so hale and hearty. $<=# ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ O My specialist was as overjoyed as I was. When I first discussed myipQJAt ideas with him he was understandably skeptical. But I understand3 that he now uses maps showing cancer portality in China in hisZWCWo lectures, and recommends a non-dairy diet to his cancer patients.;{(H I now believe that the link between dairy produce and breast cancerm}Ig} is similar to the link between smoking and lung cancer. I believeR< that identifying the link between breast cancer and dairy produce,*-( and then developing a diet specifically targeted at maintaining the= health of my breast and hormone system, cured me.fy?|8 It was difficult for me, as it may be for you, to accept that a| substance as 'natural' as milk might have such ominous healthN&`3 implications. But I am a living proof that it works and, startingZ from tomorrow, I shall reveal the secrets of my revolutionary< action plan.<)!^_ ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ [Y~
