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?i I had suffered the loss of one breast, and undergone radiotherapy.`e<\L I was now receiving painful chemotherapy, and had been seen by someM6[` of the country's most eminent specialists. But, deep down, I felt!KKUT certain I was facing death. I had a loving husband, a beautiful^E1' home and two young children to care for. I desperately wanted toWA live.©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ s2q! ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ : Fortunately, this desire drove me to unearth the facts, some of| which were known only to a handful of scientists at the time.NE Anyone who has come into contact with breast cancer will know that3>> certain risk factors - such as increasing age, early onset ofnx\HD5 womanhood, late onset of menopause and a family history of breastu cancer - are completely out of our control. But there are many riskRxwGO' factors, which we can control easily.? ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ SuPV These "controllable" risk factors readily translate into simplenZ6 changes that we can all make in our day-to-day lives to helpY+ prevent or treat breast cancer. My message is that even advanced_yvdXT breast cancer can be overcome because I have done it.Ra7?Bc The first clue to understanding what was promoting my breast cancerL came when my husband Peter, who was also a scientist, arrived back-+ppY3 from working in China while I was being plugged in for a~,!D4 chemotherapy session.
He had brought with him cards and letters, as well as some amazingi5>$ herbal suppositories, sent by my friends and science colleagues in"6I China.!7/#m0 ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ ydDi The suppositories were sent to me as a cure for breast cancer.0)_u0 Despite the awfulness of the situation, we both had a good belly/b laugh, and I remember saying that this was the treatment for breastsMy@ cancer in China, then it was little wonder that Chinese women{uL6f avoided getting the disease.Tpkf9 Those words echoed in my mind. Why didn't Chinese women in China> get breast cancer? I had collaborated once with Chinese colleaguesvl}?c% on a study of links between soil chemistry and disease, and IYa 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,bCFZ compared to that terrible figure of one in 12 in Britain and then even grimmer average of one in 10 across most Western countries. It.rS is not just a matter of China being a more rural country, with less<X# urban pollution. In highly urbanized Hong Kong, the rate rises to+UlT 34 women in every 10,000 but still puts the West to shame.$9\H? The Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki have similar rates.U And remember, both cities were attacked with nuclear weapons, so inz addition to the usual pollution-related cancers, one would alsopp expect to find some radiation-related cases, too. `@.cG" ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ vwzSB` The conclusion we can draw from these statistics strikes you with:#fcd some force. If a Western woman were to move to industrialized,o|@3| irradiated Hiroshima, she would slash her risk of contractingG breast cancer by half..;ww ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ `el?5] Obviously this is absurd. It seemed obvious to me that somer.=cZ~ lifestyle factor not related to pollution, urbanization or the3 environment is seriously increasing the Western woman's chance ofC*w contracting breast cancer. I then discovered that whatever causes the huge differences inYVgn( breast cancer rates between oriental and Western countries, itW isn't genetic. Scientific research showed that when Chinese or Japanese peopleN\*\:) move to the West, within one or two generations their rates ofDp:nc breast cancer approach those of their host community.Ha The same thing happens when oriental people adopt a completelypC>, Western lifestyle in Hong Kong. In fact, the slang name for breastY[/$B= cancer in China translates as 'Rich Woman's Disease'. This is XgA0| because, in China, only the better off can afford to eat what is?' termed 'Hong Kong food'.ykdj^U ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ 03+i$w The Chinese describe all Western food, including everything fromyZo ice cream and chocolate bars to spaghetti and feta cheese, as "Hong)#)ta Kong food", because of its availability in the former BritishAh colony and its scarcity, in the past, in mainland China.zk# So it made perfect sense to me that whatever was causing my breast-#r/ cancer and the shockingly high incidence in thisO0'H+ country generally, it was almost certainly something to do with our better-off,tq'(e middle-class, Western lifestyle. %56 ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ D There is an important point for men here, too. I have observed inx my research that much of the data about prostate cancer leads toK2[ similar conclusions. According to figures from the World Health Organization, the numberZ of men contracting prostate cancer in rural China is negligible,4 only 0.5 men in every 100,000. In England, Scotland and Wales,E however, this figure is 70 times higher. Like breast cancer, it isf a middle-class disease that primarily attacks the wealthier andwkW9 higher socio-economic groups - those that can afford to eat richP< foods.QMJ ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ U- I remember saying to my husband, "Come on Peter, you have just come5NP back from China. What is it about the Chinese way of life that isd~8 so different?" Why don't they get breast cancer?'gYf We decided to utilize our joint scientific backgrounds and approachMX8J_v it logically. We examined scientific data that pointed us in the generalx( direction of fats in diets. Researchers had discovered in the 1980swA. that only l4% of calories in the average Chinese diet were fromGtO fat, compared to almost 36% in the West.W?QJ ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ $<)2 But the diet I had been living on for years before I contractedn& breast cancer was very low in fat and high in fibre. Besides, IL knew as a scientist that fat intake in adults has not been shown toY|g increase risk for breast cancer in most investigations that haveG. followed large groups of women for up to a dozen years.Is Then one day something rather special happened. Peter and I havekLcS5 worked together so closely over the years that I am not sure which%'+3Za one of us first said: "The Chinese don't eat dairy produce!".3@ It is hard to explain to a non-scientist the sudden mental and4H emotional 'buzz' you get when you know you have had an importantdxhu insight. It's as if you have had a lot of pieces of a jigsaw in/6FI9^ your mind, and suddenly, in a few seconds, they all fall into placeG and the whole picture is clear.
Suddenly I recalled how many Chinese people were physically unable_V to tolerate milk, how the Chinese people I had worked with had2Y always said that milk was only for babies, and how one of myJBn)y% close friends, who is of Chinese origin, always politely turned down theP6gWVc cheese course at dinner parties. I knew of no Chinese people who lived a traditional Chinese lifep<6\ who ever used cow or other dairy food to feed their babies. Theo q tradition was to use a wet nurse but never, ever, dairy products.L Culturally, the Chinese find our Western preoccupation with milkc#{R and milk products very strange. I remember entertaining a largesq(FI@ delegation of Chinese scientists shortly after the ending of the~yZkz= Cultural Revolution in the 1980s.\js< ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ }G On advice from the Foreign Office, we had asked the caterer toj provide a pudding that contained a lot of ice cream. After?P inquiring what the pudding consisted of, all of the Chinese,aQ including their interpreter, politely but firmly refused to eat it,Ct. and they could not be persuaded to change their minds.8Ht\6 At the time we were all delighted and ate extra portions!}.{06j Milk, I discovered, is one of the most common causes of foodt allergies. Over 70% of the world's population are unable to digestS the milk sugar, lactose, which has led nutritionists to believeHk>@ that this is the normal condition for adults, not some sort ofI!~/bf deficiency.vP3 ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ ^97t%T Perhaps nature is trying to tell us that we are eating the wrong= food. Before I had breast cancer for the first time, I had eaten a lot ofy,k; dairy produce, such as skimmed milk, low-fat cheese and yoghurt. Iti had used it as my main source of protein. I also ate cheap but leanf4<of minced beef, which I now realized was probably often ground-up3M dairy cow. In order to cope with the chemotherapy I received for my fifth caseuiA of cancer, I had been eating organic yoghurts as a way of helping@&k;4| my digestive tract to recover and repopulate my gut with 'good'j1&;d bacteria.7Qi ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ ?v&4 Recently, I discovered that way back in 1989 yoghurt had been,<@ implicated in ovarian cancer. Dr Daniel Cramer of HarvardAa}_ University studied hundreds of women with ovarian cancer, and had#*.N86 them record in detail what they normally ate. wish I'd been madeH2^] aware of his findings when he had first discovered them.: ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ bP Following Peter's and my insight into the Chinese diet, I decided' to give up not just yoghurt but all dairy produce immediately."x Cheese, butter, milk and yoghurt and anything else that contained#f dairy produce - it went down the sink or in the rubbish.]yyj ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ o>! It is surprising how many products, including commercial soups,5YT Lh biscuits and cakes, contain some form of dairy produce. Even many<oN proprietary brands of margarine marketed as soya, sunflower or-) olive oil spreads can contain dairy produce. d'KR6C ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ bd] I therefore became an avid reader of the small print on foodR)eKV labels. Up to this point, I had been steadfastly measuring the progress ofd=b}Yr my fifth cancerous lump with callipers and plotting the results.Q|-H Despite all the encouraging comments and positive feedback from myb\> doctors and nurses, my own precise observations told me the bitterTx truth. My first chemotherapy sessions had produced no effect - the lump5lfj was still the same size.o0?' ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ IE Then I eliminated dairy products. Within days, the lump started to@`7 shrink.C6B-R ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ |D t*) About two weeks after my second chemotherapy session and one week/uh:)p after giving up dairy produce, the lump in my neck started to itch.Qk{ Then it began to soften and to reduce in size. The line on thez[/H_ graph, which had shown no change, was now pointing downwards as the, tumour got smaller and smaller. And, very significantly, I noted that instead of decliningo- exponentially (a graceful curve) as cancer is meant to do, theR*C' tumour's decrease in size was plotted on a straight line headinge off the bottom of the graph, indicating a cure, not suppression (orbsk remission) of the tumour.:u ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ (Q.5G One Saturday afternoon after about six weeks of excluding all dairyt$\(k. produce from my diet, I practised an hour of meditation then feltl\,7D for what was left of the lump. I couldn't find it. Yet I was very:| experienced at detecting cancerous lumps - I had discovered allfebF five cancers on my own. I went downstairs and asked my husband to_d%/ feel my neck. He could not find any trace of the lump either.Cg(5 On the following Thursday I was due to be seen by my cancer]8s\tJ specialist at Charing Cross Hospital in London. He examined me5hZ thoroughly, especially my neck where the tumour had been. He was53h initially bemused and then delighted as he said, "I cannot find+q:B it."©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ 7 ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ v None of my doctors, it appeared, had expected someone with my typeJ|t~ and stage of cancer (which had clearly spread to the lymph system)&W%' to survive, let alone be so hale and hearty. VY ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ l1 My specialist was as overjoyed as I was. When I first discussed myci-J ideas with him he was understandably skeptical. But I understand\X4] that he now uses maps showing cancer portality in China in hish lectures, and recommends a non-dairy diet to his cancer patients.p+` I now believe that the link between dairy produce and breast cancer{wCO is similar to the link between smoking and lung cancer. I believe">J2 that identifying the link between breast cancer and dairy produce,K_Z_ and then developing a diet specifically targeted at maintaining theQ| health of my breast and hormone system, cured me.F It was difficult for me, as it may be for you, to accept that a;d~ZT substance as 'natural' as milk might have such ominous healthu implications. But I am a living proof that it works and, starting \ from tomorrow, I shall reveal the secrets of my revolutionary(M-@ action plan.3m1 ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ 0q@qI
