SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 VOLUME 1 NO. 18 You are what your mother eats Kids with leukemia may have mum's diet to blame By William D Donaldson Kids are traditionally the ones nagged to eat their veggies because "they're good for you." While this is indubitably true, new research says that mums-to-be need to chow down on veggies too. A study published in the August issue of Cancer Causes and Control claims that women who eat fruit and vegetables before pregnancy give birth to children who are less likely to develop leukemia, the most common childhood cancer. Even more surprising, there seems to be similar protective effect with meat protein, which is more often linked with causing cancer than preventing it. Researchers from Berkeley University compared the diets of 138 mothers of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia to the food intakes of a control group of 138 women with demographically-matched healthy children. The study recorded what the mothers ate in the 12 months prior to pregnancy.

Fruit and vegetable consumption would increase their antioxidant and micronutrient level which is frequently low. Researchers found that children with higher levels of vitamins A, E and total carotenoids had fewer negative side effects such as infections and toxicity. If these findings are confirmed, children undergoing chemotherapy could benefit from eating a diet high in fruit and vegetable or at least supplements.

Kentucky - Aspartame Death Capital Of The US From Dr. Betty Martini, D.Hum Bettym19@mindspring.com The letter below is from Sharon Bevins, Mission Possible, Pound, Virginia. An extremely interesting point is she says leukemia should be included in the diseases triggered by aspartame, not knowing that the Italian Study has just proven the point. Here is her research: Regards, Betty Two years ago, I met a couple of women at a natural health food store, that basically changed my life. They introduced me to a book called "Death by Diet" by a bio-chemist called Robert Barefoot. The book explained all the functions that calcium did in the body and that it could even prevent and cure cancer! I started giving some of this information out to my friends and relatives who were sick with various ailments, such as lupus, fibromyalgia, MS, different types of cancer. I noticed that almost all on my list were women! I wondered why? I had read an article in a women's magazine that said that women were dying across America at twice the rate of men on almost every disease, especially autoimmune diseases. I started taking informed surveys across the region I lived in (southwest Virginia and eastern Kentucky), to see if I could come up with some answers. I knew that women were dieting all the time, this was obvious! I found they were not big meat eaters and milk drinkers like men, losing major sources of protein and calcium. The women at the health food store showed me a brochure about the damaging effects of aspartame in diet products. I knew it was bad, but I had no idea at the time just how bad!!

Guestbook Posted: 18 July 2005 The Cancer Research Center of the European Foundation of Oncology and Environmental Sciences in Bologna, Italy reported this week that a long-term study to evaluate the potential carcinogenic effects of aspartame demonstrates the chemical sweetener "induces an increase in lymphomas and leukemias in female rats." The research will be presented at a September international scientific conference, "Framing the Future in the Light of the Past: Living in a Chemical World." Neurosurgeon Russell Blaylock M.D. commented: "The new study released in the European Journal of oncology by Morando Soffritti and co-workers should terrify mothers and all those consuming aspartame sweetened products. This was a carefully done study which clearly demonstrated a statistically significant increase in several types of lymphomas and leukemias in rats. Both of these malignancies have increased significantly in this country since the widespread use of aspartame. "This study confirmed the previous study by Dr. Trocho and co-workers, which also found the formaldehyde breakdown product of aspartame to be damaging to cellular DNA and that this damage was accumulative. The type of damage was a duplicate of that associated with cancers. Along with this most recent study, this means that drinking a single diet cola sweetened with aspartame every day could increase one's risk of developing a lymphoma or leukemia.

Download the "print-friendly" PDF Version Risks for, and Causes of, Leukemia It's only human to wonder what causes disease. After a diagnosis, you may ask, "How in the world could this have happened? What caused me to get leukemia?" Nobody knows. There are many theories and ideas being promulgated about what causes leukemia, but there are no hard and fast answers out there that we can point to and say, "This is what caused the leukemia." Who is at risk for leukemia In 1993 about 10 Americans per 100,000 were newly diagnosed with leukemia. It is heartening that incidence rates of all leukemias dropped by 5.3 percent from 1973 to 1993. This drop was seen across genders and ethnic groups. Similarly, mortality rates dropped 6.2 percent during the same period. More effective methods for diagnosis and a much wider variety of treatment options have made this possible. Better understanding of possible causes and areas of concern also affected the statistics. Although percentages have dropped, as the population has grown the number of people affected has risen slightly in the past few years. In 1999, an estimated 27,900 adults were diagnosed with leukemia. That's up from 23,100 in 1995, when 16,800 males and 13,400 females were diagnosed. According to 1999 statistics, AML has become the largest adult leukemia type, overtaking chronic lymphocytic leukemia in the numbers by about 2,300 individuals. More common use of blood tests has made early detection of these diseases easier and more efficient. To put the numbers in some perspective, in 1999 in the United States of America alone, about 1,221,800 new cases of all kinds of cancer are expected to be diagnosed, yet graphs of new leukemia diagnoses have remained pretty flat for the last five to eight years.

Can you imagine the response when consumers discover 9 out of 10 of the herds in the US (89%) are infected with leukemia virus? This means millions of cows presently have live, infectious, leukemia viruses – bovine leukemia virus – living inside them. These viruses are known to cause cancers of the immune system, called leukemias and lymphomas, in these cows. More startling will be the reaction when they learn that consuming tainted beef has already infected as many as 74% of people living in the US. Hopefully, this will be a wake-up call that turns people from sausages to sweet potatoes and porterhouse to potatoes. A revolution is long overdue, especially since scientists have known about this health hazard for more than 35 years. Yet, you have heard little or nothing about leukemia viruses infecting your food supply because of the spin placed on this information by the cattle industry and the United States Department of Agriculture. They have taken the position: “until proven guilty beyond any doubt, eating live leukemia viruses is perfectly safe.” C

If these children would eat more fruits and vegetables, they could improve these levels of antioxidants and micronutrients and prevent some of the negative side effects of chemotherapy, a new study suggests. "We got interested in looking at this because many parents had approached us about the safety and effectiveness of using antioxidant supplements during chemotherapy for treating leukemia," said lead researcher Dr. Kara M. Kelly, an associate professor of pediatric oncology at Columbia University. To find out, Kelly and her colleagues first had to understand what happened to levels of vitamins A, E and C during chemotherapy. They studied 103 children who had just been diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).

But food industry officials point out that many other studies have found no link between aspartame and cancer. The rats in the study were fed various doses of aspartame throughout their lives. In female but not male rats, lymphoma and leukemia were significantly associated with daily aspartame doses as low as 20 milligrams (mg) per kilogram (kg) of body weight. And there was a trend toward these cancers at doses as low as 4 mg/kg of body weight. To reach a dose of 20 mg/kg, a 140-pound woman would need to drink three cans of diet soda a day. A 180-pound man would need to drink four cans of diet soda a day.

Melatonin's beneficial effect on immunity could worsen immune system cancers. Calcium supplements should also be taken with care to avoid hypercalcemia.

It is also important to understand that most of the items listed on this web page are not strong enough to treat a "Stage IV" cancer by themselves, or even when combined. There are two critical articles you need to read before attempting to treat a "Stage IV" cancer like MM. First, you must read my article on the "theory" of alternative cancer treatments. This article will explain the difference between treating a "Stage III" cancer and a "Stage IV" cancer.

Cancer Tutor Home Page Leukemia Initial Comments Certain types of alternative cancer treatments would have no affect on leukemia because they do not apply. For example, shark cartilage is primarily designed to stop the growth of tumors, which does not apply to leukemia. The Rath Cellular Solution is designed to work with the connective tissue, which also does not apply to leukemia. And there are other alternative treatments that do not apply. The main thing I want to emphasize about leukemia is that it may be far more related to a fungus than other types of cancer. In fact many cases of fungus have been misdiagnosed as leukemia. I suspect that EVERY case of leukemia is associated with a type of fungus. I have links below to articles on this issue which are highlighed in yellow. See also my article on Bone Marrow Cancers/Leukemia at: Bone Marrow Cancer Article Note: Never go on an alternative cancer treatment without first checking the strength of the treatment against my "Checklist" article: Click for Checklist Article Note: If you follow the "Checklist" article, you will be taking carrot juice (e.g. for Vitamin A), MSM, Vitamin C and Vitamin B12. These should be REQUIRED for any leukemia diet, along with the other items in the checklist. However, purple, red or black grapes, WITH THEIR SKINS, are normally an optional "major" treatment. For leukemia patients the grape mush should be REQUIRED. You might also want to take a "grape seed extract" supplement.

When you quit smoking, you reduce your risk of its many associated medical complications, which should improve your chances of withstanding the physical stresses of cancer and treatment. Also, since the immune system of smokers is generally less effective than non-smokers, by quitting you may be adding your immune systems ability to join in the battle against cancer. Ask your doctor about programs to help you stop smoking, such as group support, hypnosis, and alternative nicotine delivery systems.

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Treatment - Alternative Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Treatment - Leukapheresis institute for cancer research A.P.John Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia What is Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia? Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) , a cancer of the blood, is the second most common type of leukemia. It is caused by the overproduction of immature blood cells in the marrow (the spongy inner mass of bone). These immature cells crowd out healthy cells needed to fight infection and deliver oxygen to the body. CLL progresses slowly, and it may take years for symptoms to appear or for treatment to be needed. CLL forms because of genetic mutations in lymphocytes, a kind of white blood cell that fights infection. Lymphocytes are found in the blood, and in a clear fluid called lymph that flows through the body and collects in lymph nodes. In people with CLL, lymphocytes are not as good at fighting infection. Over time, they crowd the bone marrow, allowing less room for the cells that make red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. CLL is one of four types of leukemia. Like chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), CLL progresses slowly. Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) affects the same lymphocytes, but progresses more quickly. Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) also progresses quickly.

Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia Treatment - Alternative Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia Treatment - CML Chronic Tranulocytic - Chronic Myelocytic institute for cancer research A.P.John Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia What is Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia? Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is a cancer of the blood-producing cells in the spongy inner mass of the bone, known as marrow. CML is also called chronic granulocytic, chronic myelocytic or chronic myeloid leukemia Most people with CML have a genetic abnormality where two chromosomes (long strands of genes that dictate how the body behaves) swap their end pieces. This is called translocation, and in this case involves chromosomes number 9 and 22 and is named the "Philadelphia chromosome." The mutation causes bone marrow cells (called myeloid cells) to produce an enzyme that prompts white blood cells (cells that normally fight infection) to grow unchecked. These abnormal cells do not work well and over time; crowd out normal white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets. CML is one of four types of leukemia. Like chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), CML progresses slowly at first, and people may have it for months or years before symptoms appear. CML and CLL differ in the type of white blood cells that become cancer, and CLL patients do not have the same genetic changes to their cells. Acute leukemia’s, acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) and acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), progress more quickly.
