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?Ffi-8M I had suffered the loss of one breast, and undergone radiotherapy.H`i[; I was now receiving painful chemotherapy, and had been seen by somelE of the country's most eminent specialists. But, deep down, I feltpeLPZ8 certain I was facing death. I had a loving husband, a beautifulY home and two young children to care for. I desperately wanted to8V6(& live.©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ | ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ G* Fortunately, this desire drove me to unearth the facts, some of82+ which were known only to a handful of scientists at the time.p Anyone who has come into contact with breast cancer will know thatr@V certain risk factors - such as increasing age, early onset ofn<8z womanhood, late onset of menopause and a family history of breastgS cancer - are completely out of our control. But there are many risk;XDFp2 factors, which we can control easily._Zt: ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ r 'wVY These "controllable" risk factors readily translate into simplehRcJ@ changes that we can all make in our day-to-day lives to helpo prevent or treat breast cancer. My message is that even advanced%\Ub breast cancer can be overcome because I have done it.p}# The first clue to understanding what was promoting my breast cancer,q came when my husband Peter, who was also a scientist, arrived back7{% from working in China while I was being plugged in for ay`l chemotherapy session.
He had brought with him cards and letters, as well as some amazingZx| herbal suppositories, sent by my friends and science colleagues inr[q! China.eZ#x ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ _oJ+{ The suppositories were sent to me as a cure for breast cancer.& Despite the awfulness of the situation, we both had a good belly]C4 laugh, and I remember saying that this was the treatment for breastA@B cancer in China, then it was little wonder that Chinese womenB/W avoided getting the disease.iy{ Those words echoed in my mind. Why didn't Chinese women in China6kZ get breast cancer? I had collaborated once with Chinese colleagues(qQ=bL on a study of links between soil chemistry and disease, and I)Adi 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,22a compared to that terrible figure of one in 12 in Britain and theiR even grimmer average of one in 10 across most Western countries. Itk is not just a matter of China being a more rural country, with less*P5xQ urban pollution. In highly urbanized Hong Kong, the rate rises toRR&&n 34 women in every 10,000 but still puts the West to shame.{E_ The Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki have similar rates.9 And remember, both cities were attacked with nuclear weapons, so inSq<8Dp addition to the usual pollution-related cancers, one would alsoj? expect to find some radiation-related cases, too. *kEH7 ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ M|OSo The conclusion we can draw from these statistics strikes you withvZ7 some force. If a Western woman were to move to industrialized,D2o irradiated Hiroshima, she would slash her risk of contracting;q; breast cancer by half.~ ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ w Obviously this is absurd. It seemed obvious to me that somew lifestyle factor not related to pollution, urbanization or thef environment is seriously increasing the Western woman's chance ofR contracting breast cancer. I then discovered that whatever causes the huge differences inzjZ breast cancer rates between oriental and Western countries, itjGDw isn't genetic. Scientific research showed that when Chinese or Japanese peoplewtIwc. move to the West, within one or two generations their rates of7yhC breast cancer approach those of their host community.Y-`= The same thing happens when oriental people adopt a completelyQ Western lifestyle in Hong Kong. In fact, the slang name for breastft\EG cancer in China translates as 'Rich Woman's Disease'. This isPxmR<N because, in China, only the better off can afford to eat what is6Rp termed 'Hong Kong food'.50gjE ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ m The Chinese describe all Western food, including everything from%I ice cream and chocolate bars to spaghetti and feta cheese, as "HongxL% Kong food", because of its availability in the former BritishR1{g. colony and its scarcity, in the past, in mainland China.6"& So it made perfect sense to me that whatever was causing my breast 723~ cancer and the shockingly high incidence in this[N'sVd country generally, it was almost certainly something to do with our better-off,?Y;} middle-class, Western lifestyle. 9 4i ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ 5T6 There is an important point for men here, too. I have observed inq my research that much of the data about prostate cancer leads tor:e9q similar conclusions. According to figures from the World Health Organization, the number> of men contracting prostate cancer in rural China is negligible,U][< only 0.5 men in every 100,000. In England, Scotland and Wales,/Q?Qg' however, this figure is 70 times higher. Like breast cancer, it is~pOUY[ a middle-class disease that primarily attacks the wealthier andx!? higher socio-economic groups - those that can afford to eat richV+s8eD foods.qSW ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ shz. I remember saying to my husband, "Come on Peter, you have just comeF/ back from China. What is it about the Chinese way of life that is9kJy+H so different?" Why don't they get breast cancer?'{ We decided to utilize our joint scientific backgrounds and approach>-d it logically. We examined scientific data that pointed us in the general+h direction of fats in diets. Researchers had discovered in the 1980sYlU that only l4% of calories in the average Chinese diet were fromg fat, compared to almost 36% in the West.f] =d ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ -Tt But the diet I had been living on for years before I contractedx`< breast cancer was very low in fat and high in fibre. Besides, Iz(N6#o knew as a scientist that fat intake in adults has not been shown to(N increase risk for breast cancer in most investigations that have4 followed large groups of women for up to a dozen years.^[s2 Then one day something rather special happened. Peter and I havevk worked together so closely over the years that I am not sure whichw6R[ one of us first said: "The Chinese don't eat dairy produce!"W|d It is hard to explain to a non-scientist the sudden mental andGx(b~, emotional 'buzz' you get when you know you have had an importanty insight. It's as if you have had a lot of pieces of a jigsaw in7O8^lU your mind, and suddenly, in a few seconds, they all fall into placeoqRDr3 and the whole picture is clear.
Suddenly I recalled how many Chinese people were physically unable+@z] to tolerate milk, how the Chinese people I had worked with had]P*6oC always said that milk was only for babies, and how one of myhP8 close friends, who is of Chinese origin, always politely turned down the-x) cheese course at dinner parties. I knew of no Chinese people who lived a traditional Chinese life/6 who ever used cow or other dairy food to feed their babies. The7\x6;0 tradition was to use a wet nurse but never, ever, dairy products.g Culturally, the Chinese find our Western preoccupation with milkK-JW# and milk products very strange. I remember entertaining a largeh +_! delegation of Chinese scientists shortly after the ending of the>^<1g6 Cultural Revolution in the 1980s.>r_ ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ DKJJ On advice from the Foreign Office, we had asked the caterer tofMJcU provide a pudding that contained a lot of ice cream. After;\Rd inquiring what the pudding consisted of, all of the Chinese,UXgww including their interpreter, politely but firmly refused to eat it,Hf-S:R and they could not be persuaded to change their minds., At the time we were all delighted and ate extra portions!;EOgs Milk, I discovered, is one of the most common causes of food* allergies. Over 70% of the world's population are unable to digestECf~ the milk sugar, lactose, which has led nutritionists to believe:7F? that this is the normal condition for adults, not some sort ofms:g}# deficiency.~ ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ * Perhaps nature is trying to tell us that we are eating the wrongx{~t]m food. Before I had breast cancer for the first time, I had eaten a lot ofQwmO dairy produce, such as skimmed milk, low-fat cheese and yoghurt. Iu had used it as my main source of protein. I also ate cheap but lean>R] minced beef, which I now realized was probably often ground-up.y") dairy cow. In order to cope with the chemotherapy I received for my fifth case:+ig=3 of cancer, I had been eating organic yoghurts as a way of helping%^A8L my digestive tract to recover and repopulate my gut with 'good'z7P bacteria.`D ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ &$;k Recently, I discovered that way back in 1989 yoghurt had beenL8j@eL implicated in ovarian cancer. Dr Daniel Cramer of Harvard/"Ji University studied hundreds of women with ovarian cancer, and hadQwiCb them record in detail what they normally ate. wish I'd been made~~ne aware of his findings when he had first discovered them."Pw ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ 5\Mzv0 Following Peter's and my insight into the Chinese diet, I decided_-c% to give up not just yoghurt but all dairy produce immediately.kvI Cheese, butter, milk and yoghurt and anything else that containedP t dairy produce - it went down the sink or in the rubbish.; ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ pMB It is surprising how many products, including commercial soups,wXY$T biscuits and cakes, contain some form of dairy produce. Even many>oylFU proprietary brands of margarine marketed as soya, sunflower or>Z olive oil spreads can contain dairy produce. {T>0 ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ ~Q2pfY I therefore became an avid reader of the small print on food2S}9 labels. Up to this point, I had been steadfastly measuring the progress of!5| my fifth cancerous lump with callipers and plotting the results.A-j}[\ Despite all the encouraging comments and positive feedback from my;h!] doctors and nurses, my own precise observations told me the bitterP truth. My first chemotherapy sessions had produced no effect - the lumpD_o was still the same size.e ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ 6Ufd3u Then I eliminated dairy products. Within days, the lump started to-9 shrink.Vdo|y6 ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ !'F@k About two weeks after my second chemotherapy session and one weekmz after giving up dairy produce, the lump in my neck started to itch.gy! 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 the7aF<I tumour got smaller and smaller. And, very significantly, I noted that instead of decliningEBQ exponentially (a graceful curve) as cancer is meant to do, theepL tumour's decrease in size was plotted on a straight line headingnUrf off the bottom of the graph, indicating a cure, not suppression (or;DFn remission) of the tumour.GU>mGF ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ }7 One Saturday afternoon after about six weeks of excluding all dairy;O]x& produce from my diet, I practised an hour of meditation then feltpR}%vB for what was left of the lump. I couldn't find it. Yet I was very q7 experienced at detecting cancerous lumps - I had discovered all.B five cancers on my own. I went downstairs and asked my husband toK feel my neck. He could not find any trace of the lump either.t:H On the following Thursday I was due to be seen by my cancer4M & specialist at Charing Cross Hospital in London. He examined mev*G{#9 thoroughly, especially my neck where the tumour had been. He wasY initially bemused and then delighted as he said, "I cannot find|6i it."©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ =eO-Uo ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ 6N R6 None of my doctors, it appeared, had expected someone with my type+wS/|. and stage of cancer (which had clearly spread to the lymph system)k0V to survive, let alone be so hale and hearty. wg ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ # My specialist was as overjoyed as I was. When I first discussed my_n~Z0q ideas with him he was understandably skeptical. But I understandc that he now uses maps showing cancer portality in China in hisbOGw,[ lectures, and recommends a non-dairy diet to his cancer patients.K; I now believe that the link between dairy produce and breast cancerT/@$ is similar to the link between smoking and lung cancer. I believeNgIEa that identifying the link between breast cancer and dairy produce,cfKB and then developing a diet specifically targeted at maintaining theTv health of my breast and hormone system, cured me.z)ciki It was difficult for me, as it may be for you, to accept that ae?H3u substance as 'natural' as milk might have such ominous healthoS4 implications. But I am a living proof that it works and, starting~ from tomorrow, I shall reveal the secrets of my revolutionary}Z8r)[ action plan._O9jw ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ A3z
