The National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program's data program is so specific that patient information includes the stage of each patient's cancer tumor at diagnosis, the first course of treatmerit, and follow-up status. This information is available to all through the National Cancer Institute's Web portal, through its SEER Cancer Statistics Review.
By comparison, the 23.5 million patients who suffer from autoimmune diseases do not claim megabytes in cyberspace in any national database. |

The national cancer institute, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries all fund surveillance research on who has which cancer by age, sex, race, and locale. So we know, at any given juncture, how many Hispanic women at age forty have breast cancer in New York City. Or how many sixty-five-year-old African-American men have survived prostate cancer in Florida. |

"Wobenzym N gives you the same effects as aspirin, ibuprofen, and NSAIDs without any of the side effects," Gordon says. "When you take NSAIDs [nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as Advil], you're suppressing key parts of your body that could have helped you heal. With Wobenzym N you're getting at causes, not merely the suppression of the pain. The differences are dramatic. |

A 1997 report by the American national cancer institute stated that mammograms showed no mortality benefit unless women in their 40s had been followed for 10 years. Other studies have shown that women who have mammograms suffer about the same rates of death due to breast cancer as women who do not have mammograms. Despite the fact that over 90 percent of the abnormalities discovered by mammography have been benign (not cancerous), 63 percent of U.S. women in their 40s keep having a mammogram every one or two years. |

| Research conducted by the national cancer institute (NCI) as well as by Japanese and European scientists indicates that heterocyclic amines are created within muscle meats during most types of high temperature cooking. Such powerful poisons alone are enough to leave the body vulnerable to any kind of infection.
In most hospitals, both young and older patients are given meat, such as sausages, eggs, fish and poultry to eat, sometimes on the day after the patient has undergone surgery or other invasive treatments. These procedures cause the digestive system to be at its weakest. |

This is the basis for the dietary guidelines endorsed by the national cancer institute and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which recommend at least five servings of fruit and vegetables daily. Study results vary widely for breast cancer with some studies showing no protective effect and other studies showing a strong protective effect with intakes over 200 mg per day. Many studies have shown that higher intakes of vitamin C are associated with decreased incidence of cancers of the mouth, throat, esophagus, stomach, colon, and lungs. |

Robert Bazell, NBC News chief science and health correspondent, says the national cancer institute has been too eager to claim success in the war on cancer and that medical reality doesn't match news releases issued from the agency. [Robert Bazell, When medical reality doesn't match the spin. NBC News June 20, 2006]
All this is happening at a time when the public is distracted by news reports concerning gene-targeted drugs, like Ires-sa, Herceptin and Erbitux, that only prolong survival by a few months, are laden with side effects, and literally cost a fortune ($1000-10,000 a month). |
| Contrary to what you may read elsewhere, while a good diet is desired, the best diet (5 servings of fruits and vegetables) has utterly failed to prevent cancer. The National Cancer Institute's 5-A-Day Program has been abandoned in favor of 9 tol 3 servings of fruits and vegetables, which is still an unproven approach to reduce cancer mortality. |
| Journal national cancer institute 96: 1412, 2004] An embarrassing if not distressing report reveals that many cancer patients are not provided adequate follow-up care after treatment. The probsupplement regimens would suffice. A pre-printed sheet of paper with after-care instructions would go a long way. Once all the billing codes have been utilized for insurance claims, physicians virtually abandon patients in regard to secondary prevention. It must be emphasized, if your cancer is in remission, modern cancer care generally provides little advice as to how to keep it from returning. |

¦ Yes, aspirin reduces the risk for colon/rectal cancer. But a significant benefit doesn't appear until more than a decade of use, with maximal risk reduction at doses greater than 14 tablets per week. The risk for intestinal bleeding from aspirin use can offset risk reduction for cancer, [journal American Medical Assn 294: 914-23, 2005]
¦ Furthermore, aspirin appears to increase the risk for bladder and brain cancer mortality among women. |
| Journal national cancer institute 85: 1342-43, 1993] Lab dish studies show that thyroid hormone deficiency may interfere with the activity of the p53 tumor suppressor gene. [Anticancer Research 18: 289-93, 1998] Thyroid hormones are the major glandular controller of growth, metabolism and cellular maturation. Thyroid hormones also help to control the production of growth hormones (insulin growth factor, or IGF-1) that may accelerate tumor growth. Low thyroid levels (hypothyroidism) are associated with prolonged remission from diagnosed cancer. |

This study, which was undertaken by the national cancer institute, determined, "The risk of canine lymphoma rose to a twofold excess with four or more yearly applications of 2,4-D. This herbicide has also been implicated as the source of nonHodgkin's disease in humans."2
The herbicide, 2,4-D is found in one-third of all pesticides and is a component of Agent Orange. Homeowners and farmers use this herbicide for weed control because it is cheaper and more effective than other weed killers. Doctors urge people using this herbicide to wear masks, boots, and gloves for protection. |

Adams backs up his assertions with charts from the national cancer institute as well as considerable research into the effects of vitamin D on the halting of cancer tumor growth. By combining three simple observations -- the sunlight blocking capacity of darkly pigmented skin, ultraviolet light intensity at geographic latitudes, and recent research showing vitamin D's ability to prevent cancer tumors from growing -- Adams has pieced together a powerful, yet obvious explanation for why black men and women experience far more serious cancers than whites. |

Using charts and graphs from the national cancer institute -- along with the latest scientific research about powerful anti-cancer nutrients and botanicals -- Adams demonstrates how the cancer industry blatantly ignores the No. 1 solution that can prevent 77 percent of all cancers. This simple solution has zero side effects, is available to everyone and costs absolutely nothing, yet it remains censored by the cancer industry and remains virtually ignored by cancer doctors.

His resume includes being head of the national cancer institute, where he routinely diverted funding from solid cancer science into the pockets of his friends in Big Bio Tech. He was also a lead player in an old boy network called C-Change, a group of the most powerful vested interests in biotechnology and cancer research -- which is headed by George Bush Sr. and his wife, Barbara. It is not surprising that the current president backs Big Pharma and Big Biotech as he does -- his family wealth depends on it. |

Von Eschenbach took over the helm of the FDA to create his dream of a cancer sickness industry wherein nobody actually gets well -- they just live indefinitely in a sick condition on really expensive biotech drugs. This project is called the Critical Path Initiative. The FDA has created highly sophisticated software that can identify protein-molecule changes at the cellular level. |

ANTI-CANCER DIETARY ADVICE
Although a person's diet is a source of carcinogens, the good news is that the diet also contains many substances that prevent the development or progression of cancer. The national cancer institute has developed a set of dietary guidelines for minimizing the risk of developing cancer. These guidelines advise people to lower their fat intake, increase fiber intake, choose plentiful amounts of fruits and vegetables, maintain an ideal body weight, use alcohol in moderation, and avoid certain processed foods. |
| Researchers from the national cancer institute in the United States and the Shanghai Cancer Institute in China teamed up in 1994 to use epidemiological methods to investigate the effects of green tea in a human population. A cancer registry in China identified 902 esophageal cancer patients, and another 1,552 cancer-free men and women were included in the study as controls. |

It was recently reported that less than 1% of the US National Cancer Institute's budget is allocated to nutritional studies.11 This is disappointing because it is well known that poor nutrition creates chemical imbalances in the body. Time after time, it seems that funding for research and development programs that address the causes of cancer is totally ignored by those in authority positions.
Politicians like to use terms such as "declaring war" on diseases. But to return a body to health, the solution is not to find an aggressor against a disease. |

In the early 1980s, the U.S. national cancer institute undertook a follow-up study of more than a thousand veterans who had been exposed to tetrachloroethane during World War II.71 Incredibly, the chemical had been used to impregnate uniforms against chemical warfare agents. The veterans studied had been assigned to field units processing the uniforms. The later concern was over possible long-term effects, because laboratory studies had shown that tetrachloroethane exhibited cancer potential in test animals. |

SPF rating that falls short of the minimum recommended by the national cancer institute and the American Academy of Dermatology, although it does include an in-part avobenzone sunscreen. The base formula falls short, too, offering skin little more than a bland mixture of water, glycerin, plant extract, slip agents, canola oil, and silicone. It is an OK option for normal to slightly dry skin if you're willing to pair it with another sunscreen or foundation with sunscreen rated SPF 15 or greater.
