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?h I had suffered the loss of one breast, and undergone radiotherapy.-+a{Ed I was now receiving painful chemotherapy, and had been seen by some`.n of the country's most eminent specialists. But, deep down, I feltwS4 certain I was facing death. I had a loving husband, a beautiful+:+WCb home and two young children to care for. I desperately wanted toOv live.©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ 00m) ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ 4 Fortunately, this desire drove me to unearth the facts, some ofZO-%W which were known only to a handful of scientists at the time.{9&~KW Anyone who has come into contact with breast cancer will know thatg certain risk factors - such as increasing age, early onset of=R&L%^ womanhood, late onset of menopause and a family history of breast4q ;I` cancer - are completely out of our control. But there are many risk0uPmH factors, which we can control easily.^}IV ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ "4Kv} These "controllable" risk factors readily translate into simpleqdD changes that we can all make in our day-to-day lives to helpD prevent or treat breast cancer. My message is that even advancedB breast cancer can be overcome because I have done it.J4n The first clue to understanding what was promoting my breast cancer!4 came when my husband Peter, who was also a scientist, arrived backZ from working in China while I was being plugged in for aa~ chemotherapy session.
He had brought with him cards and letters, as well as some amazingN$C;[ herbal suppositories, sent by my friends and science colleagues in'JS China.8u ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ X] The suppositories were sent to me as a cure for breast cancer.h ( Despite the awfulness of the situation, we both had a good belly:AeeT laugh, and I remember saying that this was the treatment for breast_~ cancer in China, then it was little wonder that Chinese womenRj3' avoided getting the disease.( Those words echoed in my mind. Why didn't Chinese women in ChinaW9lw[ get breast cancer? I had collaborated once with Chinese colleaguesqqrOcH on a study of links between soil chemistry and disease, and IrS;| remembered some of the statistics. The disease was virtually non-existent throughout the whole country. Only one in 10,000 women in China will die from it,"]c[ compared to that terrible figure of one in 12 in Britain and theuj even grimmer average of one in 10 across most Western countries. Itd/ is not just a matter of China being a more rural country, with lessQb4Ki urban pollution. In highly urbanized Hong Kong, the rate rises toTj 34 women in every 10,000 but still puts the West to shame.T The Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki have similar rates.!Sy And remember, both cities were attacked with nuclear weapons, so in .D addition to the usual pollution-related cancers, one would alsoe3p expect to find some radiation-related cases, too. qhu",k ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ AKDv The conclusion we can draw from these statistics strikes you with!qX some force. If a Western woman were to move to industrialized,: irradiated Hiroshima, she would slash her risk of contracting$. breast cancer by half.Uus$ ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ q2&/ Obviously this is absurd. It seemed obvious to me that someltQ*Q lifestyle factor not related to pollution, urbanization or theXAL{ environment is seriously increasing the Western woman's chance ofv`' contracting breast cancer. I then discovered that whatever causes the huge differences inObP< breast cancer rates between oriental and Western countries, itt7e$b isn't genetic. Scientific research showed that when Chinese or Japanese people@0 move to the West, within one or two generations their rates ofe&FA/f breast cancer approach those of their host community.k The same thing happens when oriental people adopt a completelyT4N(L Western lifestyle in Hong Kong. In fact, the slang name for breast}~ cancer in China translates as 'Rich Woman's Disease'. This iskh1 because, in China, only the better off can afford to eat what isX[$' termed 'Hong Kong food'.i ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ h The Chinese describe all Western food, including everything fromJ- ice cream and chocolate bars to spaghetti and feta cheese, as "Hongvg Kong food", because of its availability in the former British8` :w colony and its scarcity, in the past, in mainland China.o So it made perfect sense to me that whatever was causing my breast# cancer and the shockingly high incidence in thisPMu country generally, it was almost certainly something to do with our better-off,ZA` middle-class, Western lifestyle. %0gm# ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ G)bG There is an important point for men here, too. I have observed inUFv my research that much of the data about prostate cancer leads toC( similar conclusions. According to figures from the World Health Organization, the number,rC]2 of men contracting prostate cancer in rural China is negligible,C3r`~ only 0.5 men in every 100,000. In England, Scotland and Wales,SfK however, this figure is 70 times higher. Like breast cancer, it isF a middle-class disease that primarily attacks the wealthier and7 higher socio-economic groups - those that can afford to eat rich8] foods.h ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ pSiB" I remember saying to my husband, "Come on Peter, you have just comeq| back from China. What is it about the Chinese way of life that is/pO@5 so different?" Why don't they get breast cancer?'dA8 We decided to utilize our joint scientific backgrounds and approachc it logically. We examined scientific data that pointed us in the generalY99+( direction of fats in diets. Researchers had discovered in the 1980sqiu85 that only l4% of calories in the average Chinese diet were from9"84C fat, compared to almost 36% in the West.+9, ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ *:T But the diet I had been living on for years before I contracted.%.+x{ breast cancer was very low in fat and high in fibre. Besides, I]: knew as a scientist that fat intake in adults has not been shown to5Y increase risk for breast cancer in most investigations that haveI,' followed large groups of women for up to a dozen years.bRv4C Then one day something rather special happened. Peter and I haveeO2=# worked together so closely over the years that I am not sure which2qM one of us first said: "The Chinese don't eat dairy produce!"bVM+( It is hard to explain to a non-scientist the sudden mental andG6e5zg emotional 'buzz' you get when you know you have had an importantV`X insight. It's as if you have had a lot of pieces of a jigsaw inMuA=j your mind, and suddenly, in a few seconds, they all fall into placevb"8Zf and the whole picture is clear.
Suddenly I recalled how many Chinese people were physically unable6 to tolerate milk, how the Chinese people I had worked with had1-L always said that milk was only for babies, and how one of mys close friends, who is of Chinese origin, always politely turned down theLI\e/ cheese course at dinner parties. I knew of no Chinese people who lived a traditional Chinese lifePYI who ever used cow or other dairy food to feed their babies. Theqd|)br tradition was to use a wet nurse but never, ever, dairy products.:8Z"Gd Culturally, the Chinese find our Western preoccupation with milkYU and milk products very strange. I remember entertaining a largeg-&Mz delegation of Chinese scientists shortly after the ending of the>,GT Cultural Revolution in the 1980s.kH0 ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ dxn On advice from the Foreign Office, we had asked the caterer toyM3:e7 provide a pudding that contained a lot of ice cream. Afterr\ inquiring what the pudding consisted of, all of the Chinese,?KM including their interpreter, politely but firmly refused to eat it,e])q\S and they could not be persuaded to change their minds.+BI At the time we were all delighted and ate extra portions!n36a Milk, I discovered, is one of the most common causes of food_C{ allergies. Over 70% of the world's population are unable to digest+U the milk sugar, lactose, which has led nutritionists to believe,2T9zn that this is the normal condition for adults, not some sort of"*g~ deficiency.e ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ -&u Perhaps nature is trying to tell us that we are eating the wrongZJ# food. Before I had breast cancer for the first time, I had eaten a lot ofPt dairy produce, such as skimmed milk, low-fat cheese and yoghurt. Iv had used it as my main source of protein. I also ate cheap but leanB(wC> minced beef, which I now realized was probably often ground-up1Cmwim dairy cow. In order to cope with the chemotherapy I received for my fifth case}SJ(Hh of cancer, I had been eating organic yoghurts as a way of helpingz my digestive tract to recover and repopulate my gut with 'good'mw bacteria.+qGP8M ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ VpLg[ Recently, I discovered that way back in 1989 yoghurt had beenI+ implicated in ovarian cancer. Dr Daniel Cramer of Harvardj University studied hundreds of women with ovarian cancer, and had4PG them record in detail what they normally ate. wish I'd been maderUM aware of his findings when he had first discovered them.k ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ &0z Following Peter's and my insight into the Chinese diet, I decidedM`l$c& to give up not just yoghurt but all dairy produce immediately.BN?' Cheese, butter, milk and yoghurt and anything else that containedz/ dairy produce - it went down the sink or in the rubbish.zJ.k$I ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ {I73D) It is surprising how many products, including commercial soups,u biscuits and cakes, contain some form of dairy produce. Even many(~:A proprietary brands of margarine marketed as soya, sunflower or'sz4x olive oil spreads can contain dairy produce. >A ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ pC I therefore became an avid reader of the small print on food$Jkj labels. Up to this point, I had been steadfastly measuring the progress ofXQ my fifth cancerous lump with callipers and plotting the results.D Despite all the encouraging comments and positive feedback from myR5T.o- doctors and nurses, my own precise observations told me the bitterr truth. My first chemotherapy sessions had produced no effect - the lump25 was still the same size.+5g ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ Q Then I eliminated dairy products. Within days, the lump started to)a^. shrink.O ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ .n About two weeks after my second chemotherapy session and one weekR4E]. after giving up dairy produce, the lump in my neck started to itch./_ Then it began to soften and to reduce in size. The line on thek^ graph, which had shown no change, was now pointing downwards as theq^Z tumour got smaller and smaller. And, very significantly, I noted that instead of decliningQj*H exponentially (a graceful curve) as cancer is meant to do, the~g4RG+ tumour's decrease in size was plotted on a straight line headingsh2A off the bottom of the graph, indicating a cure, not suppression (orRNo#X< remission) of the tumour.i]ZT$ ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ xU One Saturday afternoon after about six weeks of excluding all dairyC^s % produce from my diet, I practised an hour of meditation then feltP for what was left of the lump. I couldn't find it. Yet I was veryX%i3]C experienced at detecting cancerous lumps - I had discovered allfhsx five cancers on my own. I went downstairs and asked my husband to,&&[b feel my neck. He could not find any trace of the lump either.i]~Bx On the following Thursday I was due to be seen by my cancerz54L specialist at Charing Cross Hospital in London. He examined mex9l thoroughly, especially my neck where the tumour had been. He wasv[^`k3 initially bemused and then delighted as he said, "I cannot find'WTRd it."©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ f ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ #Jx? None of my doctors, it appeared, had expected someone with my type+ and stage of cancer (which had clearly spread to the lymph system)kiLC_( to survive, let alone be so hale and hearty. >,:>v ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ H4Lrl$ My specialist was as overjoyed as I was. When I first discussed myGBZ5! ideas with him he was understandably skeptical. But I understand0` that he now uses maps showing cancer portality in China in hisj{3/X lectures, and recommends a non-dairy diet to his cancer patients.Ff,"b I now believe that the link between dairy produce and breast cancerXA> is similar to the link between smoking and lung cancer. I believexWU that identifying the link between breast cancer and dairy produce,,M:R and then developing a diet specifically targeted at maintaining the''Hf' health of my breast and hormone system, cured me.-,Wj'1 It was difficult for me, as it may be for you, to accept that aS substance as 'natural' as milk might have such ominous healthr implications. But I am a living proof that it works and, starting< from tomorrow, I shall reveal the secrets of my revolutionary+ action plan.Ip-u0 ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ k^y%jN
