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?)@0I I had suffered the loss of one breast, and undergone radiotherapy.&*qs I was now receiving painful chemotherapy, and had been seen by some~#h; of the country's most eminent specialists. But, deep down, I feltGH certain I was facing death. I had a loving husband, a beautiful7a home and two young children to care for. I desperately wanted to,EgQ live.©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ KTx? ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ , Fortunately, this desire drove me to unearth the facts, some of{E^ which were known only to a handful of scientists at the time.*#8|iV Anyone who has come into contact with breast cancer will know thatz certain risk factors - such as increasing age, early onset of1Kd womanhood, late onset of menopause and a family history of breaste>; cancer - are completely out of our control. But there are many risk3 factors, which we can control easily.~e$; ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ S These "controllable" risk factors readily translate into simple42 changes that we can all make in our day-to-day lives to help+ prevent or treat breast cancer. My message is that even advancedjp+! breast cancer can be overcome because I have done it..h'gSA The first clue to understanding what was promoting my breast cancerI.w came when my husband Peter, who was also a scientist, arrived backI#S from working in China while I was being plugged in for al|M6) chemotherapy session.
He had brought with him cards and letters, as well as some amazing!^b[ herbal suppositories, sent by my friends and science colleagues in^'o China.> ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ D The suppositories were sent to me as a cure for breast cancer.| Despite the awfulness of the situation, we both had a good belly1 laugh, and I remember saying that this was the treatment for breastc0m cancer in China, then it was little wonder that Chinese womenYGH avoided getting the disease.z9k Those words echoed in my mind. Why didn't Chinese women in Chinaf get breast cancer? I had collaborated once with Chinese colleaguesGrY`L on a study of links between soil chemistry and disease, and I5x`NI3 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,kcdI compared to that terrible figure of one in 12 in Britain and thea even grimmer average of one in 10 across most Western countries. Itp0W<s! is not just a matter of China being a more rural country, with less[0Q' urban pollution. In highly urbanized Hong Kong, the rate rises toUuK 34 women in every 10,000 but still puts the West to shame.7\(?% The Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki have similar rates.P And remember, both cities were attacked with nuclear weapons, so in+:Q% addition to the usual pollution-related cancers, one would also~ expect to find some radiation-related cases, too. D ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ M7 The conclusion we can draw from these statistics strikes you with}oC>@ some force. If a Western woman were to move to industrialized,d^px irradiated Hiroshima, she would slash her risk of contracting5"Qz breast cancer by half.%&R]h ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ SjW Obviously this is absurd. It seemed obvious to me that someffx5 lifestyle factor not related to pollution, urbanization or the$GF0~t environment is seriously increasing the Western woman's chance ofS;Gh) contracting breast cancer. I then discovered that whatever causes the huge differences in8 breast cancer rates between oriental and Western countries, it==3<n: isn't genetic. Scientific research showed that when Chinese or Japanese people1 move to the West, within one or two generations their rates ofgHoG breast cancer approach those of their host community.r9{Gr The same thing happens when oriental people adopt a completely?(#O Western lifestyle in Hong Kong. In fact, the slang name for breast8%u cancer in China translates as 'Rich Woman's Disease'. This is.|@ because, in China, only the better off can afford to eat what iswYlb termed 'Hong Kong food'.5' ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ SBXg G The Chinese describe all Western food, including everything from\?[ ice cream and chocolate bars to spaghetti and feta cheese, as "HongA Kong food", because of its availability in the former BritishA colony and its scarcity, in the past, in mainland China.Ytxt^ So it made perfect sense to me that whatever was causing my breastXh\ cancer and the shockingly high incidence in thispb`|#& country generally, it was almost certainly something to do with our better-off,Q" middle-class, Western lifestyle. }vDj ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ )yJ'SJ There is an important point for men here, too. I have observed int+I|5G my research that much of the data about prostate cancer leads to@<v(9 similar conclusions. According to figures from the World Health Organization, the number|F-go of men contracting prostate cancer in rural China is negligible,% only 0.5 men in every 100,000. In England, Scotland and Wales,U3FvSp however, this figure is 70 times higher. Like breast cancer, it is2?54 a middle-class disease that primarily attacks the wealthier andz^ higher socio-economic groups - those that can afford to eat richx33 foods.U^j ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ M=M I remember saying to my husband, "Come on Peter, you have just come-vhe back from China. What is it about the Chinese way of life that isexF so different?" Why don't they get breast cancer?'o!o`-- We decided to utilize our joint scientific backgrounds and approachs it logically. We examined scientific data that pointed us in the generalkD8h direction of fats in diets. Researchers had discovered in the 1980s]k[a;` that only l4% of calories in the average Chinese diet were from( fat, compared to almost 36% in the West.rmm ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ GudD4 But the diet I had been living on for years before I contracted},T3q1 breast cancer was very low in fat and high in fibre. Besides, If7] om knew as a scientist that fat intake in adults has not been shown to;}J5 increase risk for breast cancer in most investigations that haveMtt followed large groups of women for up to a dozen years.6l_ Then one day something rather special happened. Peter and I have9/;h worked together so closely over the years that I am not sure which=W one of us first said: "The Chinese don't eat dairy produce!"a$V It is hard to explain to a non-scientist the sudden mental andggrz emotional 'buzz' you get when you know you have had an important8j insight. It's as if you have had a lot of pieces of a jigsaw in1N your mind, and suddenly, in a few seconds, they all fall into place=tnd=6 and the whole picture is clear.
Suddenly I recalled how many Chinese people were physically unableZlktO to tolerate milk, how the Chinese people I had worked with had>4! always said that milk was only for babies, and how one of my}]S< close friends, who is of Chinese origin, always politely turned down the#QzKr cheese course at dinner parties. I knew of no Chinese people who lived a traditional Chinese lifeU4P who ever used cow or other dairy food to feed their babies. The@t9 tradition was to use a wet nurse but never, ever, dairy products.&UBD-7 Culturally, the Chinese find our Western preoccupation with milkyL and milk products very strange. I remember entertaining a large+SD delegation of Chinese scientists shortly after the ending of the#3 Cultural Revolution in the 1980s.kVV$ ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ o~s@7 On advice from the Foreign Office, we had asked the caterer tojGPK){ provide a pudding that contained a lot of ice cream. Aftero9 inquiring what the pudding consisted of, all of the Chinese,9: including their interpreter, politely but firmly refused to eat it,@a2*6p and they could not be persuaded to change their minds.Zb At the time we were all delighted and ate extra portions!dzplS_ Milk, I discovered, is one of the most common causes of foodn4M allergies. Over 70% of the world's population are unable to digestt the milk sugar, lactose, which has led nutritionists to believeXlWt' that this is the normal condition for adults, not some sort of=%;^ deficiency.0;bd: ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ =&~_ Perhaps nature is trying to tell us that we are eating the wrongdvY.G[ food. Before I had breast cancer for the first time, I had eaten a lot ofP={+m dairy produce, such as skimmed milk, low-fat cheese and yoghurt. I0F had used it as my main source of protein. I also ate cheap but leanP 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 case`3>fO of cancer, I had been eating organic yoghurts as a way of helpingd=J~J my digestive tract to recover and repopulate my gut with 'good'S bacteria.b Os ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ ,Ak? Recently, I discovered that way back in 1989 yoghurt had been`X implicated in ovarian cancer. Dr Daniel Cramer of HarvardVcQ University studied hundreds of women with ovarian cancer, and had<fO_i them record in detail what they normally ate. wish I'd been madeAj/r aware of his findings when he had first discovered them.gvp ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ {rC Following Peter's and my insight into the Chinese diet, I decidedE to give up not just yoghurt but all dairy produce immediately.lAE Cheese, butter, milk and yoghurt and anything else that contained?D3a dairy produce - it went down the sink or in the rubbish.\ ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ irl It is surprising how many products, including commercial soups,_[ biscuits and cakes, contain some form of dairy produce. Even manye proprietary brands of margarine marketed as soya, sunflower or01eA7& olive oil spreads can contain dairy produce. V ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ dc I therefore became an avid reader of the small print on foodn[UqD labels. Up to this point, I had been steadfastly measuring the progress of> my fifth cancerous lump with callipers and plotting the results.)kd Despite all the encouraging comments and positive feedback from my@/ doctors and nurses, my own precise observations told me the bitter< truth. My first chemotherapy sessions had produced no effect - the lumpN| was still the same size.q5\ ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ ok}${ Then I eliminated dairy products. Within days, the lump started toc shrink.UFA ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ M3Zw About two weeks after my second chemotherapy session and one weekFs after giving up dairy produce, the lump in my neck started to itch.`oybb{ Then it began to soften and to reduce in size. The line on the:D graph, which had shown no change, was now pointing downwards as the":lVB tumour got smaller and smaller. And, very significantly, I noted that instead of decliningpeF exponentially (a graceful curve) as cancer is meant to do, the41y\ tumour's decrease in size was plotted on a straight line headingW+C off the bottom of the graph, indicating a cure, not suppression (orid+ remission) of the tumour.0$CdCP ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ &",)&* One Saturday afternoon after about six weeks of excluding all dairy3J@z~] produce from my diet, I practised an hour of meditation then felt{rB}%4 for what was left of the lump. I couldn't find it. Yet I was veryc4FP. experienced at detecting cancerous lumps - I had discovered allCT3fDB five cancers on my own. I went downstairs and asked my husband toxLUlwp feel my neck. He could not find any trace of the lump either., On the following Thursday I was due to be seen by my cancerr specialist at Charing Cross Hospital in London. He examined meO thoroughly, especially my neck where the tumour had been. He wasGM { initially bemused and then delighted as he said, "I cannot find}e[~3c it."©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ oi2w"U ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ L None of my doctors, it appeared, had expected someone with my type_; and stage of cancer (which had clearly spread to the lymph system)BJ to survive, let alone be so hale and hearty. Nj;f ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ [en71) My specialist was as overjoyed as I was. When I first discussed my/Y4nA ideas with him he was understandably skeptical. But I understand#8& that he now uses maps showing cancer portality in China in his7YxZ} lectures, and recommends a non-dairy diet to his cancer patients.H I now believe that the link between dairy produce and breast cancerai9 is similar to the link between smoking and lung cancer. I believe.79~[ that identifying the link between breast cancer and dairy produce,<Mu and then developing a diet specifically targeted at maintaining the,C%O health of my breast and hormone system, cured me.M%6`1 It was difficult for me, as it may be for you, to accept that aa`d<H substance as 'natural' as milk might have such ominous health0}J/R implications. But I am a living proof that it works and, starting-CG+ from tomorrow, I shall reveal the secrets of my revolutionary{+v0^ action plan.Q ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ D
