A New Way to Look at Cancer
The cause of cancer is still not known. That’s because conventional theory fails to explain the mechanism of rapid or unrestrained growth of cancer cells.

My Answer to Cancer–Get Lost!
I’m not the kind of person who likes to talk about himself. So, when I was asked to write an article about my experience with cancer, I felt quite uneasy, as I’m afraid that people will try to copy what I have done as though it were a magic recipe.

Dr. Burzynski Battles the Cancer Industry
When a man stood in front of a tank in Tiananmen Square, the world gasped at his bravery. No less brave are health- care practitioners like Polish-born Dr Stanislaw R. Burzynski, who successfully stood up to a juggernaut of hostility toward his cancer therapy from both the US government and the medical establishment..

Look Good While Fighting Cancer
Cancer occurs when the immune system is down and normal protective measures are insufficient. Cells within the body are defective or damaged. Most cases of cancer are preventable.

Cancer-Fighting Recipes
When I came to Canada in 1959 I was practically a greenhorn concerning vegetarianism. Then I married Siegfried! One of the wedding gifts I received from him was a vegetarian cookbook. I struggled with the concept.

Childhood Cancer Epidemic
Cancer is the first epidemic in history in which medical authorities don’t know the cause and therefore can do nothing to stop it. Our children are not being spared by this worldwide epidemic. Indeed, in some rural areas, cancer rates for children appear to be increasing faster than those of adults.

Cancer-Fighting Herbs and Roots
Plant roots may be out of sight, but they shouldn’t be out of mind when it comes to dealing with cancer. Any physical approach to healing cancer must first concentrate on restoring both the organs of elimination and the circulation of nutrients in the body.

My longtime friend Dr. Carl Clark of Regina often said, "Cancer is the worst word in the English language." A World War II air force veteran, he trained as an osteopath in Chicago in the 1930s when the notorious gangster Al Capone ran Chicago.

Cancer–Defective Genes or Excessive Chromosomes?
The vast majority of current research into the underlying mechanisms of cancer is directed at the search for defective genes, even though they are found in only a minority of cancers, and it is hard to explain why inherited cancer genes would not cause cancer early on in life.

The Cancer Personality
Is there such a thing as a “cancer personality”? A 1984 study measured the physiological responses to stressful stimuli of three groups: patients with malignant melanoma (a potentially fatal form of skin cancer), people with heart disease, and a control cohort with no medical illness.

Maintaining Weight Through Cancer
Excess body fat is blamed for up to 20 percent of all cancer-related deaths, but the fact remains that many people living with cancer and undergoing cancer treatments find themselves facing the opposite problem - how to gain weight, or at least prevent further weight loss.

Cancer is Not Defective Genes!
According to mainstream medicine, defective genes sending the wrong signals cause production of too many growth hormone receptors in the cell walls and cause about 35 per cent of breast cancers.

Cancer-Proof Your Pancreas
A hidden health concern for some men is pancreatic cancer. Processed meats may be insidious culprits. Researchers believe that the chemical reactions in the preparation of processed meats may be the problem. A high fruit and vegetable diet dramatically reduces risk of pancreatic cancer. Those who consumed five daily portions of highly protective produce, particularly beans, carrots, citrus fruits, corn, dark leafy vegetables, garlic, onions, and sweet potatoes reduced their risk of pancreatic cancer by 50 percent.

Turn the Cancer Switch Off
Every one of us is born with a unique genetic blueprint that defines our sensitivities to certain diseases such as cancer. But the latest research indicates it’s not our genes that control whether we will experience diseases like cancer; it is the actual instructions those genes receive daily.
