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?:LIV I had suffered the loss of one breast, and undergone radiotherapy.EjQ5e8 I was now receiving painful chemotherapy, and had been seen by some&ldr1W of the country's most eminent specialists. But, deep down, I feltm8bSi$ certain I was facing death. I had a loving husband, a beautifulAp"F2 home and two young children to care for. I desperately wanted to2}^q live.©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ .W ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ |Nwen Fortunately, this desire drove me to unearth the facts, some of."2c which were known only to a handful of scientists at the time.%". Anyone who has come into contact with breast cancer will know thaty)t certain risk factors - such as increasing age, early onset ofky womanhood, late onset of menopause and a family history of breastH|0y cancer - are completely out of our control. But there are many riskalIKKi factors, which we can control easily.] |-an ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ +Zi$9 These "controllable" risk factors readily translate into simplegb/) changes that we can all make in our day-to-day lives to helpy,<5X[ prevent or treat breast cancer. My message is that even advancede breast cancer can be overcome because I have done it.>t9 The first clue to understanding what was promoting my breast cancer"m*my came when my husband Peter, who was also a scientist, arrived backa<1Vr{ from working in China while I was being plugged in for aVK( chemotherapy session.
He had brought with him cards and letters, as well as some amazingf3 herbal suppositories, sent by my friends and science colleagues in},~5)} China.yR ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ S The suppositories were sent to me as a cure for breast cancer.D Despite the awfulness of the situation, we both had a good bellyi/r#) laugh, and I remember saying that this was the treatment for breast+$Vs/ cancer in China, then it was little wonder that Chinese womeny2 avoided getting the disease.g Those words echoed in my mind. Why didn't Chinese women in ChinaZ8 get breast cancer? I had collaborated once with Chinese colleaguesB.+%x- 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,SF2 compared to that terrible figure of one in 12 in Britain and the$T even grimmer average of one in 10 across most Western countries. ItdAd is not just a matter of China being a more rural country, with lessJEUZI urban pollution. In highly urbanized Hong Kong, the rate rises toV 34 women in every 10,000 but still puts the West to shame.kB7 The Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki have similar rates.d And remember, both cities were attacked with nuclear weapons, so inP'B{ addition to the usual pollution-related cancers, one would alsop024 expect to find some radiation-related cases, too. XKWDTI ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ ,,TJ<q The conclusion we can draw from these statistics strikes you withZ%Iyr some force. If a Western woman were to move to industrialized,| irradiated Hiroshima, she would slash her risk of contracting_9 breast cancer by half.j: ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ Y Obviously this is absurd. It seemed obvious to me that somede4$va lifestyle factor not related to pollution, urbanization or the9y environment is seriously increasing the Western woman's chance of} contracting breast cancer. I then discovered that whatever causes the huge differences inp& breast cancer rates between oriental and Western countries, it?ZAsc isn't genetic. Scientific research showed that when Chinese or Japanese peoplemmY move to the West, within one or two generations their rates ofMGM breast cancer approach those of their host community.IiB The same thing happens when oriental people adopt a completelyE,Oa0s Western lifestyle in Hong Kong. In fact, the slang name for breastfB cancer in China translates as 'Rich Woman's Disease'. This isRqhI because, in China, only the better off can afford to eat what is]a` termed 'Hong Kong food'.f ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ { The Chinese describe all Western food, including everything fromu4 ice cream and chocolate bars to spaghetti and feta cheese, as "Hongg Kong food", because of its availability in the former BritishyO{`>f colony and its scarcity, in the past, in mainland China.jO@`lk So it made perfect sense to me that whatever was causing my breast- cancer and the shockingly high incidence in thisIc country generally, it was almost certainly something to do with our better-off,>_@ middle-class, Western lifestyle. Yo ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ u^_} There is an important point for men here, too. I have observed inYCTBH my research that much of the data about prostate cancer leads to\i= similar conclusions. According to figures from the World Health Organization, the number{,;FU of men contracting prostate cancer in rural China is negligible,Nud! only 0.5 men in every 100,000. In England, Scotland and Wales,#'ZT however, this figure is 70 times higher. Like breast cancer, it isR3<,`| a middle-class disease that primarily attacks the wealthier and}gK:N higher socio-economic groups - those that can afford to eat richo#W foods.q-6w3< ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ P$B# I remember saying to my husband, "Come on Peter, you have just comeb}MXg back from China. What is it about the Chinese way of life that isML"4 so different?" Why don't they get breast cancer?'DLaPt We decided to utilize our joint scientific backgrounds and approach)#@ it logically. We examined scientific data that pointed us in the general=d direction of fats in diets. Researchers had discovered in the 1980spyE that only l4% of calories in the average Chinese diet were from.[R fat, compared to almost 36% in the West.te? ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ x[ %,c But the diet I had been living on for years before I contractedPh~<:! breast cancer was very low in fat and high in fibre. Besides, I":17i knew as a scientist that fat intake in adults has not been shown to&(I6Vg increase risk for breast cancer in most investigations that haveFSi] followed large groups of women for up to a dozen years.T Then one day something rather special happened. Peter and I have>y\na^ worked together so closely over the years that I am not sure whichs one of us first said: "The Chinese don't eat dairy produce!"p It is hard to explain to a non-scientist the sudden mental anduS emotional 'buzz' you get when you know you have had an importantKB z insight. It's as if you have had a lot of pieces of a jigsaw inp your mind, and suddenly, in a few seconds, they all fall into placelF and the whole picture is clear.
Suddenly I recalled how many Chinese people were physically unableF` to tolerate milk, how the Chinese people I had worked with hadRT_`IW always said that milk was only for babies, and how one of my[KsG close friends, who is of Chinese origin, always politely turned down the(@K@ cheese course at dinner parties. I knew of no Chinese people who lived a traditional Chinese life:8Z{ who ever used cow or other dairy food to feed their babies. Thevcq+e tradition was to use a wet nurse but never, ever, dairy products.giQ$?@ Culturally, the Chinese find our Western preoccupation with milk*Ait and milk products very strange. I remember entertaining a large\ delegation of Chinese scientists shortly after the ending of theD Cultural Revolution in the 1980s.| ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ S On advice from the Foreign Office, we had asked the caterer toR provide a pudding that contained a lot of ice cream. AfterD inquiring what the pudding consisted of, all of the Chinese,{&g"r including their interpreter, politely but firmly refused to eat it,HSrd and they could not be persuaded to change their minds.] At the time we were all delighted and ate extra portions!}y Milk, I discovered, is one of the most common causes of food} allergies. Over 70% of the world's population are unable to digestLkz the milk sugar, lactose, which has led nutritionists to believe}z6- that this is the normal condition for adults, not some sort ofG deficiency.Ah ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ *u5 Perhaps nature is trying to tell us that we are eating the wrong7G&S food. Before I had breast cancer for the first time, I had eaten a lot ofl dairy produce, such as skimmed milk, low-fat cheese and yoghurt. I=\.~;G had used it as my main source of protein. I also ate cheap but lean;E minced beef, which I now realized was probably often ground-upq` dairy cow. In order to cope with the chemotherapy I received for my fifth caseSt&[e| of cancer, I had been eating organic yoghurts as a way of helping8)uu) my digestive tract to recover and repopulate my gut with 'good'6,h:Z# bacteria.*G| 1 ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ #K7Q Recently, I discovered that way back in 1989 yoghurt had beenu implicated in ovarian cancer. Dr Daniel Cramer of Harvard^YB University studied hundreds of women with ovarian cancer, and hadI them record in detail what they normally ate. wish I'd been made('?) aware of his findings when he had first discovered them.c5, ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ k Following Peter's and my insight into the Chinese diet, I decided' to give up not just yoghurt but all dairy produce immediately.-`agKv Cheese, butter, milk and yoghurt and anything else that containediDHa^ dairy produce - it went down the sink or in the rubbish.ydHJ{N ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ % It is surprising how many products, including commercial soups,'$X biscuits and cakes, contain some form of dairy produce. Even manyw proprietary brands of margarine marketed as soya, sunflower ora9DK_W olive oil spreads can contain dairy produce. [ ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ Y I therefore became an avid reader of the small print on foodep/g labels. Up to this point, I had been steadfastly measuring the progress of"z my fifth cancerous lump with callipers and plotting the results.[C Despite all the encouraging comments and positive feedback from mya6!<+ doctors and nurses, my own precise observations told me the bitterQ>k6Da truth. My first chemotherapy sessions had produced no effect - the lumpydfQt was still the same size.d`V3t ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ 0 Then I eliminated dairy products. Within days, the lump started to42mgS shrink.8M ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ H#FO;M About two weeks after my second chemotherapy session and one weekt.@ after giving up dairy produce, the lump in my neck started to itch.5 Then it began to soften and to reduce in size. The line on theTaHeeY graph, which had shown no change, was now pointing downwards as theA>j$ tumour got smaller and smaller. And, very significantly, I noted that instead of declining|# exponentially (a graceful curve) as cancer is meant to do, theB=K tumour's decrease in size was plotted on a straight line headinga off the bottom of the graph, indicating a cure, not suppression (orY remission) of the tumour.S> ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ 6 One Saturday afternoon after about six weeks of excluding all dairy'a~*2+ produce from my diet, I practised an hour of meditation then feltX3J for what was left of the lump. I couldn't find it. Yet I was veryy:\s experienced at detecting cancerous lumps - I had discovered allh five cancers on my own. I went downstairs and asked my husband toMX7r:0 feel my neck. He could not find any trace of the lump either.*5& On the following Thursday I was due to be seen by my cancerr specialist at Charing Cross Hospital in London. He examined me3kww#) thoroughly, especially my neck where the tumour had been. He wasQS=8mF initially bemused and then delighted as he said, "I cannot findZ2U it."©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ i`L+v ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ &,z None of my doctors, it appeared, had expected someone with my type1 and stage of cancer (which had clearly spread to the lymph system)~+*V to survive, let alone be so hale and hearty. Y"R2 ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ n&x & My specialist was as overjoyed as I was. When I first discussed my} ideas with him he was understandably skeptical. But I understand7:W`* that he now uses maps showing cancer portality in China in hisR+2jqd lectures, and recommends a non-dairy diet to his cancer patients.Qu\ I now believe that the link between dairy produce and breast cancer>/7XT is similar to the link between smoking and lung cancer. I believeEjDqa: that identifying the link between breast cancer and dairy produce,j and then developing a diet specifically targeted at maintaining thep|W+ health of my breast and hormone system, cured me.w#.k4y It was difficult for me, as it may be for you, to accept that aO substance as 'natural' as milk might have such ominous healthy^>je3 implications. But I am a living proof that it works and, startinge from tomorrow, I shall reveal the secrets of my revolutionaryvDMF} action plan.d- ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ rryDK
