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?C_Z8qd I had suffered the loss of one breast, and undergone radiotherapy.e9%Ohb I was now receiving painful chemotherapy, and had been seen by someLEy>& of the country's most eminent specialists. But, deep down, I feltS]}) certain I was facing death. I had a loving husband, a beautifulqHfT[ home and two young children to care for. I desperately wanted to][^ live.©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ B9r ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ nhA Fortunately, this desire drove me to unearth the facts, some ofi which were known only to a handful of scientists at the time.`#A5 Anyone who has come into contact with breast cancer will know that\4 certain risk factors - such as increasing age, early onset ofYq\` womanhood, late onset of menopause and a family history of breastn^ cancer - are completely out of our control. But there are many risk7e9 factors, which we can control easily.#n ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ zQ:\ These "controllable" risk factors readily translate into simplei changes that we can all make in our day-to-day lives to helpV&r prevent or treat breast cancer. My message is that even advancedhS*u breast cancer can be overcome because I have done it.d The first clue to understanding what was promoting my breast cancerD came when my husband Peter, who was also a scientist, arrived backynGL from working in China while I was being plugged in for a;I<h= chemotherapy session.
He had brought with him cards and letters, as well as some amazingSLescu herbal suppositories, sent by my friends and science colleagues in~$-). China.g9 ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ 'Mg. - The suppositories were sent to me as a cure for breast cancer.>@8UIf Despite the awfulness of the situation, we both had a good bellyEvz5yD laugh, and I remember saying that this was the treatment for breastY4"TP' cancer in China, then it was little wonder that Chinese womenG avoided getting the disease.FS5 Those words echoed in my mind. Why didn't Chinese women in ChinaPaju get breast cancer? I had collaborated once with Chinese colleagueskH on a study of links between soil chemistry and disease, and IXy 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,!>sb compared to that terrible figure of one in 12 in Britain and theM7El even grimmer average of one in 10 across most Western countries. ItM^klV? is not just a matter of China being a more rural country, with lesse}s"k urban pollution. In highly urbanized Hong Kong, the rate rises to|S-/ 34 women in every 10,000 but still puts the West to shame.Zw'SEt The Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki have similar rates.MGtc And remember, both cities were attacked with nuclear weapons, so in)% addition to the usual pollution-related cancers, one would also11F expect to find some radiation-related cases, too. @"r ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ p( The conclusion we can draw from these statistics strikes you withwF1 some force. If a Western woman were to move to industrialized,(M'| irradiated Hiroshima, she would slash her risk of contractingx'`4 breast cancer by half.{3 ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ nf+&x Obviously this is absurd. It seemed obvious to me that somea lifestyle factor not related to pollution, urbanization or theH? environment is seriously increasing the Western woman's chance ofqro contracting breast cancer. I then discovered that whatever causes the huge differences inK ~Wt7 breast cancer rates between oriental and Western countries, it~EM isn't genetic. Scientific research showed that when Chinese or Japanese peopleoa move to the West, within one or two generations their rates ofR* breast cancer approach those of their host community.5T The same thing happens when oriental people adopt a completely#i`#F= Western lifestyle in Hong Kong. In fact, the slang name for breast|Y{. cancer in China translates as 'Rich Woman's Disease'. This isT<{ because, in China, only the better off can afford to eat what is?OC termed 'Hong Kong food'.:3g@ ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ AN The Chinese describe all Western food, including everything fromH ice cream and chocolate bars to spaghetti and feta cheese, as "Hongd.iJ Kong food", because of its availability in the former British&>] colony and its scarcity, in the past, in mainland China.tE: So it made perfect sense to me that whatever was causing my breastLn\ cancer and the shockingly high incidence in this@@'-p country generally, it was almost certainly something to do with our better-off,Zj' middle-class, Western lifestyle. $f ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ |8mM' There is an important point for men here, too. I have observed inJ_yl/ my research that much of the data about prostate cancer leads to|` similar conclusions. According to figures from the World Health Organization, the number^%X/U of men contracting prostate cancer in rural China is negligible,vF only 0.5 men in every 100,000. In England, Scotland and Wales,c` however, this figure is 70 times higher. Like breast cancer, it is; a middle-class disease that primarily attacks the wealthier and= higher socio-economic groups - those that can afford to eat richyP\dis foods.0dibbq ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ t< I remember saying to my husband, "Come on Peter, you have just comeG0 back from China. What is it about the Chinese way of life that isV(ki so different?" Why don't they get breast cancer?'a,)n` We decided to utilize our joint scientific backgrounds and approachTp5 it logically. We examined scientific data that pointed us in the generalm" direction of fats in diets. Researchers had discovered in the 1980si that only l4% of calories in the average Chinese diet were from6*5 fat, compared to almost 36% in the West.!7CfFZ ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ j But the diet I had been living on for years before I contracted}O1C breast cancer was very low in fat and high in fibre. Besides, Ibdsa knew as a scientist that fat intake in adults has not been shown togx??# increase risk for breast cancer in most investigations that have$J' followed large groups of women for up to a dozen years.fl Then one day something rather special happened. Peter and I havelBi worked together so closely over the years that I am not sure whichRG one of us first said: "The Chinese don't eat dairy produce!"e~'&8 It is hard to explain to a non-scientist the sudden mental andCO emotional 'buzz' you get when you know you have had an importantM+T/~w insight. It's as if you have had a lot of pieces of a jigsaw in.E`:6 your mind, and suddenly, in a few seconds, they all fall into placeADjb[ and the whole picture is clear.
Suddenly I recalled how many Chinese people were physically unableu to tolerate milk, how the Chinese people I had worked with had-cSzP always said that milk was only for babies, and how one of myLU} close friends, who is of Chinese origin, always politely turned down the\G% cheese course at dinner parties. I knew of no Chinese people who lived a traditional Chinese life?s*#~Q who ever used cow or other dairy food to feed their babies. TheTAE8 tradition was to use a wet nurse but never, ever, dairy products.%/>B; Culturally, the Chinese find our Western preoccupation with milkTJU`ON and milk products very strange. I remember entertaining a large _ delegation of Chinese scientists shortly after the ending of thewz$Y/ Cultural Revolution in the 1980s.n2q>C` ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ kx-3:3 On advice from the Foreign Office, we had asked the caterer tox) provide a pudding that contained a lot of ice cream. AfterZbn{ inquiring what the pudding consisted of, all of the Chinese,"K]su including their interpreter, politely but firmly refused to eat it,#S%sbs and they could not be persuaded to change their minds.%@1)Bg At the time we were all delighted and ate extra portions!b} Milk, I discovered, is one of the most common causes of food_f` allergies. Over 70% of the world's population are unable to digesttb(z the milk sugar, lactose, which has led nutritionists to believejQ7R that this is the normal condition for adults, not some sort of$ deficiency.JF_] ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ J? Perhaps nature is trying to tell us that we are eating the wrong}RG]C" food. Before I had breast cancer for the first time, I had eaten a lot of&5< dairy produce, such as skimmed milk, low-fat cheese and yoghurt. I5(2Cii had used it as my main source of protein. I also ate cheap but lean* minced beef, which I now realized was probably often ground-up( dairy cow. In order to cope with the chemotherapy I received for my fifth caseW3BdN^ of cancer, I had been eating organic yoghurts as a way of helpingzf my digestive tract to recover and repopulate my gut with 'good'BmFvA| bacteria.wp,uUw ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ Fn_N Recently, I discovered that way back in 1989 yoghurt had beenZ4a5qC implicated in ovarian cancer. Dr Daniel Cramer of Harvard` University studied hundreds of women with ovarian cancer, and hadR them record in detail what they normally ate. wish I'd been maderZ aware of his findings when he had first discovered them.7D ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ 4HrJ0L Following Peter's and my insight into the Chinese diet, I decidedi~yt2 to give up not just yoghurt but all dairy produce immediately.'S)eU Cheese, butter, milk and yoghurt and anything else that contained[b` dairy produce - it went down the sink or in the rubbish.Vj ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ E+ It is surprising how many products, including commercial soups,1Af biscuits and cakes, contain some form of dairy produce. Even many'}w! proprietary brands of margarine marketed as soya, sunflower orN olive oil spreads can contain dairy produce. S+& ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ vnXak5 I therefore became an avid reader of the small print on foodY8PM labels. Up to this point, I had been steadfastly measuring the progress of`g\+ my fifth cancerous lump with callipers and plotting the results.`mU Despite all the encouraging comments and positive feedback from myWJ7 doctors and nurses, my own precise observations told me the bitter?z$@M truth. My first chemotherapy sessions had produced no effect - the lump('dEio was still the same size.5q ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ EyZT Then I eliminated dairy products. Within days, the lump started to$X+/ shrink.{l ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ cK1s About two weeks after my second chemotherapy session and one weekC8 after giving up dairy produce, the lump in my neck started to itch.WJD#dn Then it began to soften and to reduce in size. The line on thePc^q!Z graph, which had shown no change, was now pointing downwards as theAg98 tumour got smaller and smaller. And, very significantly, I noted that instead of decliningCJ'9Lu exponentially (a graceful curve) as cancer is meant to do, the,~&B0 tumour's decrease in size was plotted on a straight line heading^x{-" off the bottom of the graph, indicating a cure, not suppression (orjZ remission) of the tumour.896;@ ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ . One Saturday afternoon after about six weeks of excluding all dairyn produce from my diet, I practised an hour of meditation then felt8gWKM for what was left of the lump. I couldn't find it. Yet I was very, experienced at detecting cancerous lumps - I had discovered all]X_J five cancers on my own. I went downstairs and asked my husband toTx?Qqr feel my neck. He could not find any trace of the lump either.TyfJ On the following Thursday I was due to be seen by my cancer;Zh& specialist at Charing Cross Hospital in London. He examined meR thoroughly, especially my neck where the tumour had been. He was1(V- initially bemused and then delighted as he said, "I cannot find5[k^\% it."©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ Rc%CG ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ 4[;AT None of my doctors, it appeared, had expected someone with my typeL> and stage of cancer (which had clearly spread to the lymph system)|Hz:W to survive, let alone be so hale and hearty. { ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ @(X6@ My specialist was as overjoyed as I was. When I first discussed myj ideas with him he was understandably skeptical. But I understand- that he now uses maps showing cancer portality in China in his t<Pr lectures, and recommends a non-dairy diet to his cancer patients.pm5" I now believe that the link between dairy produce and breast cancer_+jk is similar to the link between smoking and lung cancer. I believeI,S|;, that identifying the link between breast cancer and dairy produce,- and then developing a diet specifically targeted at maintaining the1e health of my breast and hormone system, cured me.1/M)x4 It was difficult for me, as it may be for you, to accept that aB) substance as 'natural' as milk might have such ominous healthRp implications. But I am a living proof that it works and, startingY from tomorrow, I shall reveal the secrets of my revolutionaryT0jHE action plan.H)5# ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ ?mf/u
