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?ha I had suffered the loss of one breast, and undergone radiotherapy.3s I was now receiving painful chemotherapy, and had been seen by some9ay$P2 of the country's most eminent specialists. But, deep down, I felt34] certain I was facing death. I had a loving husband, a beautiful!uh home and two young children to care for. I desperately wanted to*Iv live.©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ *v{, ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ A>. Fortunately, this desire drove me to unearth the facts, some oflFl8 which were known only to a handful of scientists at the time.N Anyone who has come into contact with breast cancer will know that`{9& certain risk factors - such as increasing age, early onset of}@O%& womanhood, late onset of menopause and a family history of breast\ cancer - are completely out of our control. But there are many riskO factors, which we can control easily.eCkdy ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ +P=je These "controllable" risk factors readily translate into simple[l6Jc changes that we can all make in our day-to-day lives to helpnbo7 prevent or treat breast cancer. My message is that even advancedkA breast cancer can be overcome because I have done it.a The first clue to understanding what was promoting my breast cancerwQi% came when my husband Peter, who was also a scientist, arrived back/h from working in China while I was being plugged in for ap chemotherapy session.
He had brought with him cards and letters, as well as some amazing} herbal suppositories, sent by my friends and science colleagues inyF China. G"Y ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ x The suppositories were sent to me as a cure for breast cancer.t Despite the awfulness of the situation, we both had a good belly+<$t<K laugh, and I remember saying that this was the treatment for breast^:F8 cancer in China, then it was little wonder that Chinese women'm\R7 avoided getting the disease.Rr%cq\ Those words echoed in my mind. Why didn't Chinese women in ChinaO get breast cancer? I had collaborated once with Chinese colleagueszW on a study of links between soil chemistry and disease, and I=Nfh 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,rAQ* compared to that terrible figure of one in 12 in Britain and thep even grimmer average of one in 10 across most Western countries. ItG&-/U is not just a matter of China being a more rural country, with lessU_s urban pollution. In highly urbanized Hong Kong, the rate rises toqX1$Jb 34 women in every 10,000 but still puts the West to shame.oEi& The Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki have similar rates.L^.r And remember, both cities were attacked with nuclear weapons, so inM addition to the usual pollution-related cancers, one would also"i~+P9 expect to find some radiation-related cases, too. q$v/ ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ 8 The conclusion we can draw from these statistics strikes you withRhT`v some force. If a Western woman were to move to industrialized,dz[hZ irradiated Hiroshima, she would slash her risk of contractingT~)G] breast cancer by half.l ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ XW2'[) Obviously this is absurd. It seemed obvious to me that some9~4Cqk lifestyle factor not related to pollution, urbanization or theT;k-P environment is seriously increasing the Western woman's chance of%?_j|I contracting breast cancer. I then discovered that whatever causes the huge differences inm breast cancer rates between oriental and Western countries, itj6v=Yp isn't genetic. Scientific research showed that when Chinese or Japanese peoplet_RD" move to the West, within one or two generations their rates ofsEk breast cancer approach those of their host community.5d The same thing happens when oriental people adopt a completely$ Western lifestyle in Hong Kong. In fact, the slang name for breast}5 cancer in China translates as 'Rich Woman's Disease'. This isSZK.pG because, in China, only the better off can afford to eat what is~ termed 'Hong Kong food'._ ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ 3 The Chinese describe all Western food, including everything fromhu= ice cream and chocolate bars to spaghetti and feta cheese, as "Hongx!e Kong food", because of its availability in the former BritishTvj;@h colony and its scarcity, in the past, in mainland China.&p=8F[ So it made perfect sense to me that whatever was causing my breast8}z)#d cancer and the shockingly high incidence in thisu7D;kN country generally, it was almost certainly something to do with our better-off,>?"& middle-class, Western lifestyle. ; ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ l_3rg8 There is an important point for men here, too. I have observed inC~=R my research that much of the data about prostate cancer leads toRc similar conclusions. According to figures from the World Health Organization, the number//\mL of men contracting prostate cancer in rural China is negligible,e%q only 0.5 men in every 100,000. In England, Scotland and Wales,> however, this figure is 70 times higher. Like breast cancer, it is93 a middle-class disease that primarily attacks the wealthier and@=? higher socio-economic groups - those that can afford to eat richQ$r&?H foods.ElI2 ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ p I remember saying to my husband, "Come on Peter, you have just comeYb back from China. What is it about the Chinese way of life that is9 so different?" Why don't they get breast cancer?'cA: .{ We decided to utilize our joint scientific backgrounds and approache1/$2r it logically. We examined scientific data that pointed us in the generalSWQMk direction of fats in diets. Researchers had discovered in the 1980sO-{I| that only l4% of calories in the average Chinese diet were fromu@5 fat, compared to almost 36% in the West.iVIj"p ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ dk^ But the diet I had been living on for years before I contractedZ5% breast cancer was very low in fat and high in fibre. Besides, Ia]}KT knew as a scientist that fat intake in adults has not been shown to\~ITp increase risk for breast cancer in most investigations that haveQfCv followed large groups of women for up to a dozen years.dC7!V^ Then one day something rather special happened. Peter and I have/n58 worked together so closely over the years that I am not sure whichx]u one of us first said: "The Chinese don't eat dairy produce!"`+hE It is hard to explain to a non-scientist the sudden mental andiP emotional 'buzz' you get when you know you have had an importanta&K insight. It's as if you have had a lot of pieces of a jigsaw inr.#s_ your mind, and suddenly, in a few seconds, they all fall into placeb and the whole picture is clear.
Suddenly I recalled how many Chinese people were physically unableL('j3B to tolerate milk, how the Chinese people I had worked with hadzLn!a always said that milk was only for babies, and how one of my}d close friends, who is of Chinese origin, always politely turned down the:'SjX cheese course at dinner parties. I knew of no Chinese people who lived a traditional Chinese lifeRJ[3PW who ever used cow or other dairy food to feed their babies. Theze>u<p tradition was to use a wet nurse but never, ever, dairy products.< Culturally, the Chinese find our Western preoccupation with milk]hva and milk products very strange. I remember entertaining a large^_ delegation of Chinese scientists shortly after the ending of the] Cultural Revolution in the 1980s.4zeh ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ wVo\ On advice from the Foreign Office, we had asked the caterer to|&$~I provide a pudding that contained a lot of ice cream. After8{2M inquiring what the pudding consisted of, all of the Chinese,I+, including their interpreter, politely but firmly refused to eat it,)Ot and they could not be persuaded to change their minds.~DQV At the time we were all delighted and ate extra portions!=1s Milk, I discovered, is one of the most common causes of foodmuxUn allergies. Over 70% of the world's population are unable to digestR{s the milk sugar, lactose, which has led nutritionists to believeG@Mh&I that this is the normal condition for adults, not some sort of?m deficiency.Dg ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ V+ Perhaps nature is trying to tell us that we are eating the wrong+ food. Before I had breast cancer for the first time, I had eaten a lot of/|gC]3 dairy produce, such as skimmed milk, low-fat cheese and yoghurt. I}LlY had used it as my main source of protein. I also ate cheap but leanUS minced beef, which I now realized was probably often ground-upX dairy cow. In order to cope with the chemotherapy I received for my fifth case] of cancer, I had been eating organic yoghurts as a way of helpingIqWcY my digestive tract to recover and repopulate my gut with 'good'._} bacteria.5 ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ `~ Recently, I discovered that way back in 1989 yoghurt had been2p implicated in ovarian cancer. Dr Daniel Cramer of Harvard6.";y University studied hundreds of women with ovarian cancer, and had s them record in detail what they normally ate. wish I'd been madekz@ aware of his findings when he had first discovered them./N4,0} ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ 2ER? Following Peter's and my insight into the Chinese diet, I decided"_80" to give up not just yoghurt but all dairy produce immediately. -|_~2 Cheese, butter, milk and yoghurt and anything else that contained27Ev dairy produce - it went down the sink or in the rubbish.4+ ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ 21fww It is surprising how many products, including commercial soups,V biscuits and cakes, contain some form of dairy produce. Even many8wU proprietary brands of margarine marketed as soya, sunflower orY olive oil spreads can contain dairy produce. G ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ AF I therefore became an avid reader of the small print on food}? labels. Up to this point, I had been steadfastly measuring the progress of(<'5 my fifth cancerous lump with callipers and plotting the results.EJ4 Despite all the encouraging comments and positive feedback from my+UoI doctors and nurses, my own precise observations told me the bitter)r#P@ truth. My first chemotherapy sessions had produced no effect - the lump}T3&? was still the same size.K ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ 7F Then I eliminated dairy products. Within days, the lump started ton#E shrink.>RV"- ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ ,f About two weeks after my second chemotherapy session and one week^z6 after giving up dairy produce, the lump in my neck started to itch.LX:UZ Then it began to soften and to reduce in size. The line on the=jn8 graph, which had shown no change, was now pointing downwards as the 2 tumour got smaller and smaller. And, very significantly, I noted that instead of decliningh) exponentially (a graceful curve) as cancer is meant to do, the6mhoYt tumour's decrease in size was plotted on a straight line headingGN.sS off the bottom of the graph, indicating a cure, not suppression (or!4. remission) of the tumour.jM2,$ ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ tf9_ One Saturday afternoon after about six weeks of excluding all dairyAx produce from my diet, I practised an hour of meditation then felt Jz}3y for what was left of the lump. I couldn't find it. Yet I was very[ experienced at detecting cancerous lumps - I had discovered all9Xp five cancers on my own. I went downstairs and asked my husband toE@OYF feel my neck. He could not find any trace of the lump either.u\sb On the following Thursday I was due to be seen by my cancermyT^ specialist at Charing Cross Hospital in London. He examined me;a@!D0 thoroughly, especially my neck where the tumour had been. He wasd initially bemused and then delighted as he said, "I cannot findx{{L it."©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ "c5ak ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ ]0*2 None of my doctors, it appeared, had expected someone with my typeL!^ and stage of cancer (which had clearly spread to the lymph system)`Dv to survive, let alone be so hale and hearty. I ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ *y.j My specialist was as overjoyed as I was. When I first discussed my+Io0 ideas with him he was understandably skeptical. But I understand:|@ that he now uses maps showing cancer portality in China in hist lectures, and recommends a non-dairy diet to his cancer patients.c, I now believe that the link between dairy produce and breast cancerQ4|& is similar to the link between smoking and lung cancer. I believeP that identifying the link between breast cancer and dairy produce,5}(8 and then developing a diet specifically targeted at maintaining the!2* health of my breast and hormone system, cured me.vj It was difficult for me, as it may be for you, to accept that a{J8{3X substance as 'natural' as milk might have such ominous healthGt& implications. But I am a living proof that it works and, starting"f from tomorrow, I shall reveal the secrets of my revolutionary5.4 action plan.yt ©½t¥Í³N¼Æ¬ã¨sªÀ -- ³N¼Æ¬ã¨s¡@¡@ "YO
