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?CG I had suffered the loss of one breast, and undergone radiotherapy.VN I was now receiving painful chemotherapy, and had been seen by some|>(pWY of the country's most eminent specialists. But, deep down, I feltw\.XX certain I was facing death. I had a loving husband, a beautiful|WPgj home and two young children to care for. I desperately wanted toV-L.j live.©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ &jf@OW ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ MY Fortunately, this desire drove me to unearth the facts, some of2$bIn' which were known only to a handful of scientists at the time.JW./O Anyone who has come into contact with breast cancer will know that/" certain risk factors - such as increasing age, early onset of3j-oP womanhood, late onset of menopause and a family history of breastc0oC#2 cancer - are completely out of our control. But there are many riskO-"^sL factors, which we can control easily.LiGO ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ C9 These "controllable" risk factors readily translate into simplez changes that we can all make in our day-to-day lives to helpnTIS prevent or treat breast cancer. My message is that even advancedXS$.R% breast cancer can be overcome because I have done it.Kaga} The first clue to understanding what was promoting my breast cancerr came when my husband Peter, who was also a scientist, arrived back"A? from working in China while I was being plugged in for agN7 chemotherapy session.
He had brought with him cards and letters, as well as some amazing$l]V herbal suppositories, sent by my friends and science colleagues ini* China.3-E' ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ Mf:g,C The suppositories were sent to me as a cure for breast cancer.1q Despite the awfulness of the situation, we both had a good bellyM laugh, and I remember saying that this was the treatment for breastOj cancer in China, then it was little wonder that Chinese womenvOu+ i avoided getting the disease.RA Those words echoed in my mind. Why didn't Chinese women in Chinadfc get breast cancer? I had collaborated once with Chinese colleaguesb~\ on a study of links between soil chemistry and disease, and ID= remembered some of the statistics. The disease was virtually non-existent throughout the whole country. Only one in 10,000 women in China will die from it,*OBAoa compared to that terrible figure of one in 12 in Britain and theN 4 even grimmer average of one in 10 across most Western countries. It[ is not just a matter of China being a more rural country, with less;a urban pollution. In highly urbanized Hong Kong, the rate rises toUR 34 women in every 10,000 but still puts the West to shame.<+ The Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki have similar rates.@+ And remember, both cities were attacked with nuclear weapons, so inR 99 addition to the usual pollution-related cancers, one would alsoqPddS@ expect to find some radiation-related cases, too. 4-{ ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ -(;v|v The conclusion we can draw from these statistics strikes you withO8EC some force. If a Western woman were to move to industrialized,zb$ irradiated Hiroshima, she would slash her risk of contractingrmQ1 breast cancer by half.[ ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ C@Qvx Obviously this is absurd. It seemed obvious to me that someVz@ lifestyle factor not related to pollution, urbanization or theq:O>A environment is seriously increasing the Western woman's chance of#<X contracting breast cancer. I then discovered that whatever causes the huge differences in,%%v^f breast cancer rates between oriental and Western countries, itu0Hj'g isn't genetic. Scientific research showed that when Chinese or Japanese people|Va move to the West, within one or two generations their rates oftc breast cancer approach those of their host community.}%CSy> The same thing happens when oriental people adopt a completelyNO2 Western lifestyle in Hong Kong. In fact, the slang name for breast*vO* cancer in China translates as 'Rich Woman's Disease'. This isK0}[ because, in China, only the better off can afford to eat what ism termed 'Hong Kong food'.OH ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ 9`b The Chinese describe all Western food, including everything fromk)xl ice cream and chocolate bars to spaghetti and feta cheese, as "HongH}i7 Kong food", because of its availability in the former Britishs8#M~ colony and its scarcity, in the past, in mainland China./ So it made perfect sense to me that whatever was causing my breastV cancer and the shockingly high incidence in this?Nt country generally, it was almost certainly something to do with our better-off,&-f* middle-class, Western lifestyle. :s% ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ <sq There is an important point for men here, too. I have observed in-S` my research that much of the data about prostate cancer leads tok similar conclusions. According to figures from the World Health Organization, the number#8 of men contracting prostate cancer in rural China is negligible,xK*Vu only 0.5 men in every 100,000. In England, Scotland and Wales,Vca however, this figure is 70 times higher. Like breast cancer, it isph&aOh a middle-class disease that primarily attacks the wealthier and.r higher socio-economic groups - those that can afford to eat rich`u#Nh foods.26$e ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ R I remember saying to my husband, "Come on Peter, you have just come%mW5# back from China. What is it about the Chinese way of life that is@ so different?" Why don't they get breast cancer?'$ol#O We decided to utilize our joint scientific backgrounds and approachhZ{3 it logically. We examined scientific data that pointed us in the general4~63 direction of fats in diets. Researchers had discovered in the 1980s"_4 that only l4% of calories in the average Chinese diet were fromT:AR] fat, compared to almost 36% in the West.-'Rsh ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ boqp But the diet I had been living on for years before I contracted?pc breast cancer was very low in fat and high in fibre. Besides, I/zL_ knew as a scientist that fat intake in adults has not been shown tot"?{ increase risk for breast cancer in most investigations that have7s}I_ followed large groups of women for up to a dozen years.5 Then one day something rather special happened. Peter and I have5>,. worked together so closely over the years that I am not sure whichw#n< one of us first said: "The Chinese don't eat dairy produce!"[|d07 It is hard to explain to a non-scientist the sudden mental andy:"UV emotional 'buzz' you get when you know you have had an importantIA~Im insight. It's as if you have had a lot of pieces of a jigsaw inx63 your mind, and suddenly, in a few seconds, they all fall into placeuU and the whole picture is clear.
Suddenly I recalled how many Chinese people were physically unable|-Y to tolerate milk, how the Chinese people I had worked with had} always said that milk was only for babies, and how one of my:A/P close friends, who is of Chinese origin, always politely turned down theg)h cheese course at dinner parties. I knew of no Chinese people who lived a traditional Chinese lifeLZ<'z who ever used cow or other dairy food to feed their babies. Then tradition was to use a wet nurse but never, ever, dairy products.jT/C! Culturally, the Chinese find our Western preoccupation with milkl}3 and milk products very strange. I remember entertaining a large`O^D, delegation of Chinese scientists shortly after the ending of they[U Cultural Revolution in the 1980s.u(`b ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ @u!KL On advice from the Foreign Office, we had asked the caterer to,; provide a pudding that contained a lot of ice cream. After!5ki)_ inquiring what the pudding consisted of, all of the Chinese,r including their interpreter, politely but firmly refused to eat it,*xm and they could not be persuaded to change their minds.1Zu At the time we were all delighted and ate extra portions!h+ Milk, I discovered, is one of the most common causes of food+Haw8 allergies. Over 70% of the world's population are unable to digestOf?; the milk sugar, lactose, which has led nutritionists to believeQ that this is the normal condition for adults, not some sort of\To deficiency.kKB ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ !Un Perhaps nature is trying to tell us that we are eating the wrongnsK food. Before I had breast cancer for the first time, I had eaten a lot ofZX dairy produce, such as skimmed milk, low-fat cheese and yoghurt. I!$Ma G had used it as my main source of protein. I also ate cheap but leani9F6 minced beef, which I now realized was probably often ground-upl<1 dairy cow. In order to cope with the chemotherapy I received for my fifth case?s of cancer, I had been eating organic yoghurts as a way of helpingc1 my digestive tract to recover and repopulate my gut with 'good'<G<I* bacteria.d/+ ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ [X' Recently, I discovered that way back in 1989 yoghurt had beenGr implicated in ovarian cancer. Dr Daniel Cramer of Harvard' University studied hundreds of women with ovarian cancer, and had^%\H"g them record in detail what they normally ate. wish I'd been madeg6JO7 aware of his findings when he had first discovered them.OIB$* ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ G Following Peter's and my insight into the Chinese diet, I decideda to give up not just yoghurt but all dairy produce immediately.~uL:ok Cheese, butter, milk and yoghurt and anything else that containedb dairy produce - it went down the sink or in the rubbish.2pK ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ t.3 It is surprising how many products, including commercial soups,)!7Shy biscuits and cakes, contain some form of dairy produce. Even many3'qD( proprietary brands of margarine marketed as soya, sunflower or- olive oil spreads can contain dairy produce. kPy+?O ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ W I therefore became an avid reader of the small print on foodR~s$@^ labels. Up to this point, I had been steadfastly measuring the progress ofl my fifth cancerous lump with callipers and plotting the results.MAj Despite all the encouraging comments and positive feedback from my+f doctors and nurses, my own precise observations told me the bitter' truth. My first chemotherapy sessions had produced no effect - the lump0K? was still the same size.f3H| ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ tb#Y Then I eliminated dairy products. Within days, the lump started torod' shrink.lC ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ 'hm About two weeks after my second chemotherapy session and one weekg after giving up dairy produce, the lump in my neck started to itch.9?f Then it began to soften and to reduce in size. The line on the?YA graph, which had shown no change, was now pointing downwards as theq tumour got smaller and smaller. And, very significantly, I noted that instead of declining9 exponentially (a graceful curve) as cancer is meant to do, the"s>ypL tumour's decrease in size was plotted on a straight line heading!lt+e7 off the bottom of the graph, indicating a cure, not suppression (or;%8h remission) of the tumour.,B*\) ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ S7 One Saturday afternoon after about six weeks of excluding all dairyA1;`& produce from my diet, I practised an hour of meditation then feltqI for what was left of the lump. I couldn't find it. Yet I was very!jZ experienced at detecting cancerous lumps - I had discovered allhroh*I five cancers on my own. I went downstairs and asked my husband toae feel my neck. He could not find any trace of the lump either.81 On the following Thursday I was due to be seen by my cancerB*6:KC specialist at Charing Cross Hospital in London. He examined me`wMb a thoroughly, especially my neck where the tumour had been. He was[7 initially bemused and then delighted as he said, "I cannot findY2g it."©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ xZY/9 ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ ],89& None of my doctors, it appeared, had expected someone with my type$\. and stage of cancer (which had clearly spread to the lymph system)Gxd)D to survive, let alone be so hale and hearty. @q*3 ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ i4 My specialist was as overjoyed as I was. When I first discussed myuU` ideas with him he was understandably skeptical. But I understand-:g that he now uses maps showing cancer portality in China in hisSWP lectures, and recommends a non-dairy diet to his cancer patients.z IP I now believe that the link between dairy produce and breast cancerVi+E) is similar to the link between smoking and lung cancer. I believe )noK+ that identifying the link between breast cancer and dairy produce,N<F and then developing a diet specifically targeted at maintaining theSi"St health of my breast and hormone system, cured me.k3fD It was difficult for me, as it may be for you, to accept that abP substance as 'natural' as milk might have such ominous healthU implications. But I am a living proof that it works and, startingh~P4C from tomorrow, I shall reveal the secrets of my revolutionaryta action plan.LW\oX ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ @
