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?x#K.' I had suffered the loss of one breast, and undergone radiotherapy.wm|/ I was now receiving painful chemotherapy, and had been seen by some'xQ* of the country's most eminent specialists. But, deep down, I felt4X&q-o certain I was facing death. I had a loving husband, a beautiful)Q7ybX home and two young children to care for. I desperately wanted to 1-- live.©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ 43\2 ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ ~w Fortunately, this desire drove me to unearth the facts, some of2b which were known only to a handful of scientists at the time.%ES Anyone who has come into contact with breast cancer will know thatQX certain risk factors - such as increasing age, early onset ofQf/ womanhood, late onset of menopause and a family history of breastv cancer - are completely out of our control. But there are many risk$~_H> factors, which we can control easily.}mDLu ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ Hr) These "controllable" risk factors readily translate into simpleV84gy changes that we can all make in our day-to-day lives to helpb.{dc/ prevent or treat breast cancer. My message is that even advancedhs9 breast cancer can be overcome because I have done it.~F The first clue to understanding what was promoting my breast cancer_ came when my husband Peter, who was also a scientist, arrived back j$Vo from working in China while I was being plugged in for aSLZWm chemotherapy session.
He had brought with him cards and letters, as well as some amazingp\v herbal suppositories, sent by my friends and science colleagues in5 China.u'=59 ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ F@.(Q The suppositories were sent to me as a cure for breast cancer."# Despite the awfulness of the situation, we both had a good belly0<}z laugh, and I remember saying that this was the treatment for breast*W cancer in China, then it was little wonder that Chinese womenp#D. avoided getting the disease.>0_ Those words echoed in my mind. Why didn't Chinese women in China-.}'tO get breast cancer? I had collaborated once with Chinese colleagues!\sqm on a study of links between soil chemistry and disease, and I.\M+ 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,gPj compared to that terrible figure of one in 12 in Britain and theu even grimmer average of one in 10 across most Western countries. It+j is not just a matter of China being a more rural country, with lessh urban pollution. In highly urbanized Hong Kong, the rate rises toX4K 34 women in every 10,000 but still puts the West to shame.IGH).7 The Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki have similar rates.G?$Z@ And remember, both cities were attacked with nuclear weapons, so inx=g= addition to the usual pollution-related cancers, one would alsoL){ expect to find some radiation-related cases, too. $Kxd ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ ~A\H35 The conclusion we can draw from these statistics strikes you with-Hp some force. If a Western woman were to move to industrialized,-q irradiated Hiroshima, she would slash her risk of contracting:yw{; breast cancer by half.ofxW,J ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ !H* Obviously this is absurd. It seemed obvious to me that someA lifestyle factor not related to pollution, urbanization or thev6!r~o environment is seriously increasing the Western woman's chance of8P]. contracting breast cancer. I then discovered that whatever causes the huge differences inIR breast cancer rates between oriental and Western countries, itu isn't genetic. Scientific research showed that when Chinese or Japanese people=.q|u_ move to the West, within one or two generations their rates ofmo7 breast cancer approach those of their host community.Yg The same thing happens when oriental people adopt a completely1s Western lifestyle in Hong Kong. In fact, the slang name for breast*J cancer in China translates as 'Rich Woman's Disease'. This isKud1pY because, in China, only the better off can afford to eat what isXvk^ termed 'Hong Kong food'.]%9 ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ qqY The Chinese describe all Western food, including everything fromS+ ice cream and chocolate bars to spaghetti and feta cheese, as "Hong:0 Kong food", because of its availability in the former Britishx?& colony and its scarcity, in the past, in mainland China.p So it made perfect sense to me that whatever was causing my breastQh cancer and the shockingly high incidence in this\,- country generally, it was almost certainly something to do with our better-off,KOz middle-class, Western lifestyle. P9H ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ n6[kjf There is an important point for men here, too. I have observed inw[8 my research that much of the data about prostate cancer leads toK7bDW similar conclusions. According to figures from the World Health Organization, the number442 of men contracting prostate cancer in rural China is negligible,-vES4 only 0.5 men in every 100,000. In England, Scotland and Wales,) however, this figure is 70 times higher. Like breast cancer, it isE a middle-class disease that primarily attacks the wealthier and4 higher socio-economic groups - those that can afford to eat richx</WUs foods.U=b ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ Y I remember saying to my husband, "Come on Peter, you have just comee~ back from China. What is it about the Chinese way of life that is~/ so different?" Why don't they get breast cancer?'@z88d3 We decided to utilize our joint scientific backgrounds and approach* it logically. We examined scientific data that pointed us in the generalOISrC direction of fats in diets. Researchers had discovered in the 1980s9O} that only l4% of calories in the average Chinese diet were from-KAW|Q fat, compared to almost 36% in the West.z}PeTA ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ mwdwAf But the diet I had been living on for years before I contractedBy breast cancer was very low in fat and high in fibre. Besides, IJIp knew as a scientist that fat intake in adults has not been shown to) Erx increase risk for breast cancer in most investigations that havec followed large groups of women for up to a dozen years.)' Then one day something rather special happened. Peter and I haveFib5S worked together so closely over the years that I am not sure which|e80 one of us first said: "The Chinese don't eat dairy produce!"3."U`1 It is hard to explain to a non-scientist the sudden mental and9 emotional 'buzz' you get when you know you have had an importanteDt insight. It's as if you have had a lot of pieces of a jigsaw inZ<a your mind, and suddenly, in a few seconds, they all fall into placeg*/h and the whole picture is clear.
Suddenly I recalled how many Chinese people were physically unable,O to tolerate milk, how the Chinese people I had worked with had\DkZ{ always said that milk was only for babies, and how one of my<";$7 close friends, who is of Chinese origin, always politely turned down the*9B* cheese course at dinner parties. I knew of no Chinese people who lived a traditional Chinese lifefuV who ever used cow or other dairy food to feed their babies. The^2 tradition was to use a wet nurse but never, ever, dairy products.~8& Culturally, the Chinese find our Western preoccupation with milkqZMhe2 and milk products very strange. I remember entertaining a large@n delegation of Chinese scientists shortly after the ending of the?> Cultural Revolution in the 1980s.w1be0^ ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ E0ne On advice from the Foreign Office, we had asked the caterer toD9,~ provide a pudding that contained a lot of ice cream. After"S inquiring what the pudding consisted of, all of the Chinese,?ux8& including their interpreter, politely but firmly refused to eat it,> and they could not be persuaded to change their minds.C At the time we were all delighted and ate extra portions!L2% Milk, I discovered, is one of the most common causes of foodV allergies. Over 70% of the world's population are unable to digest8\t)?[ the milk sugar, lactose, which has led nutritionists to believe`[R"IQ that this is the normal condition for adults, not some sort of2Jat deficiency.% ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ >%PWt Perhaps nature is trying to tell us that we are eating the wrong64r"g food. Before I had breast cancer for the first time, I had eaten a lot of`[/-~p dairy produce, such as skimmed milk, low-fat cheese and yoghurt. INw~ 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-upf dairy cow. In order to cope with the chemotherapy I received for my fifth caseVPIl of cancer, I had been eating organic yoghurts as a way of helping&UH0f my digestive tract to recover and repopulate my gut with 'good'kG!.=W bacteria.. ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ {B Recently, I discovered that way back in 1989 yoghurt had been1t/d implicated in ovarian cancer. Dr Daniel Cramer of HarvardxS University studied hundreds of women with ovarian cancer, and had!S;# them record in detail what they normally ate. wish I'd been made}yu aware of his findings when he had first discovered them.X[+ ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ IH Following Peter's and my insight into the Chinese diet, I decidedMdn to give up not just yoghurt but all dairy produce immediately.V{-pI Cheese, butter, milk and yoghurt and anything else that containedQB7_k4 dairy produce - it went down the sink or in the rubbish.Ds ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ !Nhv] It is surprising how many products, including commercial soups,:mR\D biscuits and cakes, contain some form of dairy produce. Even manyu proprietary brands of margarine marketed as soya, sunflower orM;5 olive oil spreads can contain dairy produce. !{t]x: ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ G- I therefore became an avid reader of the small print on foodpPrJ7? labels. Up to this point, I had been steadfastly measuring the progress of$]sA my fifth cancerous lump with callipers and plotting the results.|>q<8" Despite all the encouraging comments and positive feedback from my2$ZW1 doctors and nurses, my own precise observations told me the bitterkl>po truth. My first chemotherapy sessions had produced no effect - the lump?H was still the same size.c ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ fe{c'y Then I eliminated dairy products. Within days, the lump started to-o-^ shrink.Z}]! ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ UQ6 About two weeks after my second chemotherapy session and one week9+qv after giving up dairy produce, the lump in my neck started to itch.w] Then it began to soften and to reduce in size. The line on therw graph, which had shown no change, was now pointing downwards as the_PV tumour got smaller and smaller. And, very significantly, I noted that instead of decliningby exponentially (a graceful curve) as cancer is meant to do, thes:h_.q tumour's decrease in size was plotted on a straight line heading&;9c+b off the bottom of the graph, indicating a cure, not suppression (orx10Ujl remission) of the tumour.**+a ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ 8l% One Saturday afternoon after about six weeks of excluding all dairywT produce from my diet, I practised an hour of meditation then feltIu[uyO for what was left of the lump. I couldn't find it. Yet I was veryvtV experienced at detecting cancerous lumps - I had discovered all/Y/h five cancers on my own. I went downstairs and asked my husband toy0ED^E feel my neck. He could not find any trace of the lump either..sj On the following Thursday I was due to be seen by my cancer^IB specialist at Charing Cross Hospital in London. He examined me:K5} thoroughly, especially my neck where the tumour had been. He was? initially bemused and then delighted as he said, "I cannot findsL% it."©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ JZ[Yt ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ E None of my doctors, it appeared, had expected someone with my type%T6{: and stage of cancer (which had clearly spread to the lymph system)>& to survive, let alone be so hale and hearty. $5CF ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ I'8o My specialist was as overjoyed as I was. When I first discussed my!! ideas with him he was understandably skeptical. But I understandqZM that he now uses maps showing cancer portality in China in his#=Ksl lectures, and recommends a non-dairy diet to his cancer patients.XQ6 I now believe that the link between dairy produce and breast cancer@m is similar to the link between smoking and lung cancer. I believe&G that identifying the link between breast cancer and dairy produce,f and then developing a diet specifically targeted at maintaining the6/H;3f health of my breast and hormone system, cured me.la0 It was difficult for me, as it may be for you, to accept that adVu%y~ substance as 'natural' as milk might have such ominous health(<H implications. But I am a living proof that it works and, startingw from tomorrow, I shall reveal the secrets of my revolutionary* action plan.xb; ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ o
