 The corporations are in charge, and as long as they're running the show, cancer cures or prevention strategies that really work will simply not be tolerated.
Creighton press release
Here's the original press release about the new findings on vitamin D and cancer prevention:
OMAHA, Neb., June 8 -- Most Americans and others are not taking enough vitamin D, a fact that may put them at significant risk for developing cancer, according to a landmark study conducted by Creighton University School of Medicine. |
| The cancer industry wants there to be MORE cancer, which is exactly why it opposes commonsense prevention strategies that would reduce cancers. (It's true, this industry actually opposes removing cancer-causing chemicals from the workplace...)

The bottom line in all this? New research shows us that using low-cost calcium and vitamin D supplements (or just natural sunlight), we could slash cancer rates by an astonishing 77 percent. The cancer industry opposes this and is firmly positioned as an opponent of cancer prevention. |

| In my opinion, the ACS is an organization that actually prevents prevention and openly supports the continuation of cancer as a way to boost its power and profits. The ACS is the wealthiest non-profit in America and has very close ties to pharmaceutical companies, mammography equipment companies and other corporations that profit from cancer. Notice the name, too: It isn't the American Anti-Cancer Society, it's the American Cancer Society! What they really stand for is right in the name! |
| There is a growing body of evidence that a higher intake of vitamin D may be helpful in the prevention and treatment of cancer, high blood pressure, fibromyalgia, diabetes mellitus, multiple sclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis and other diseases.
Humans make their own vitamin D3 when they are exposed to sunlight. In fact, only 10-15 minutes a day in a bright summer sun creates large amounts of the vitamin, Lappe said. However, people need to exercise caution since the sun's ultraviolet B rays also can cause skin cancer; sunscreen blocks most vitamin D production. |

 They're primarily focused on treatment, not prevention. Because prevention would necessitate a discussion of why all these product companies are using such toxic chemicals in their foods, drugs and personal care products.
Preventing prevention
Virtually all the popular cancer groups out there -- including the non-profit cancer groups -- are focused on lucrative cancer treatments while avoiding cost-effective cancer prevention. When was the last time you actually heard a cancer group recommend that women get sunlight to prevent breast cancer? It doesn't happen. |

 The near-zero investment in prevention. While most first-world nations invest substantial sums in health education and disease prevention, the United States doesn't believe in prevention. In the U.S., "prevention" is limited to mammograms and other screening tests which are really just detection, not prevention.
Big Pharma will bankrupt America
If you really look closely at the issue of health care costs in America, you'll eventually realize that unless trends are substantially altered, there can be only one outcome: The health care bankruptcy of America. |

 So mammograms are touted as "prevention", and we now have all these celebrities running around urging everyone, "Go get screened for cancer! Come on, rush on in there! Put yourself in the machine, get irradiated and find out if you have a cancerous tumor in there."
So, let me pose a question: If the double mastectomy becomes an accepted prevention procedure, would celebrities recommend that women go in and have their breasts removed? Imagine this public service announcement: "Hi, I'm a famous actress. I have my breasts, but I don't think it's safe for you to have yours. |

 Goodman: prevention, and I realize that many, many people are interested in prevention. As doctors we get sometimes so tied up, especially in invasive cardiology, because there's so much work involved just taking care of the acute problems.
Therefore, it is very, very difficult to spend time doing prevention unless you have an ancillary staff and people with you who are working on that. I started to get really excited once I began learning about the options for prevention. I realized that diet is just a huge part of why people get into trouble.
Ultimately it's poor lifestyle. |

 Preventing prevention
And yet breast cancer screening is the only form of "prevention" offered by the cancer industry. But it isn't prevention, it's detection. Breast cancer screening does nothing to educate women how to really prevent breast cancer, nor does it teach women how to change their diets and lifestyles so that breast cancer never develops in the first place. In fact, the strategy of the cancer industry today can be best described as waiting for women to get cancer, then treating it with toxic drugs that just happen to generate huge profits for pharmaceutical companies. |

Parasite-prevention Plan
Since parasites are difficult to treat, the adage of an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure certainly applies here, since prevention is the best solution. The best line of defense against these opportunistic UFOs is a strong and healthy immune system. Here's a Parasite-prevention Plan that will help you stay parasite-free.
1. Drink filtered, or even boiled-then-cooled water, and always ensure that your food is thoroughly cooked.
2. Eat organic foods, but make sure to wash them thoroughly.
3. Wash your hands with soap before eating. |

| II. INDIVIDUAL NUTRIENTS AND BLOOD PRESSURE
A. Micronutrients
Micronutrients associated with BP tend to be highly correlated with each other because of similar food sources [27], thus limiting the interpretability of observational studies. For example, foods high in magnesium (e.g., nuts) are also high in fiber and potassium, making it virtually impossible to attribute associations with BP to the effects of a single nutrient. To isolate and test the effect of individual nutrients, intervention studies typically use dietary supplements. |

 That's why, even though the term ultraprevention has the word prevention in it, it works wonderfully at the treatment end of our medical practice, too.
Let's say somebody already has a disease, and we know which dominoes led to the development of that disease. Our system treats that disease—and reverses it. After all, the human body can right itself, if given the chance to do so.
Most conventional doctors don't seem to believe that. There's no particular reason why they should. |

| Many correlation studies show a strong association between self-reported exercise at follow-up and maintenance of a weight loss [66]. Studies using doubly-labeled water suggest physical activity in the range of 11 to 12kcal/kg/day may be necessary to prevent weight regain following a weight loss [68].
Data from the National Weight Control Registry (NWCR) also support the concept that high levels of physical activity are crucial in preventing weight regain following a weight loss. |
| MJ/wk; and a walking program targeted to expend 8.4 MJ/wk, with follow up for 2 years after the intervention, with the finding that weight regain (after a mean weight loss of 13.1 kg) was 3.5 kg less and waist circumference regain was 3.8 cm less in the 4.2-MJ walking group versus control, whereas the higher training target (8.4 MJ/wk) group did not maintain weight [98].

 It's no exaggeration to say that the cancer industry prevents prevention and, instead, focuses on profitable treatments for the disease. Even today, the American Cancer Society still runs silly public service ads that try to scare people away from sunlight exposure. Click here to see an example ACS ad.
That is why I think we need such technology so desperately. If I had the research money, I would try to research and produce such a device. |

| How is that prevention? How can that even be classified as medicine?
A mammogram is not a preventative technique; it is a diagnostic technique for detection, and it's not even very effective. Even worse, it causes cancer. That's right: the radiation emitted by these mammogram machines is, all by itself, a significant cause of breast cancer. (And many of these machines are not properly calibrated to begin with, so even the radiologist may not know how much radiation you're actually getting...) See the Mammograms cause breast cancer article to learn more. |

 We know prevention is the best cure. For those people who get their puppies and kittens started on the holistic animal care lifestyle -- and are very careful about vaccinating, because we very much over-vaccinate in this country -- we find they live a very long and stress-free life. They are emotionally more secure and physically, more sound. For older dogs, we've had 14- to 15-year-old dogs on their last legs -- sick for more than five or six years -- and we've reversed them, and they become healthier than they were five or six years ago. |

| Maybe medicine could call this "offensive prevention." They'll prevent a disease before it happens by removing the organs that it might affect. God forbid if you have a history of brain tumors in your family -- off with your head! That's their plan; that's where they're taking medicine. That's the level of insanity that seems to be pervading the thinking of medical authorities out there. Give a doctor a scalpel and he wants to cut off everything in sight. |
| What happened to true prevention? What happened to helping patients heal? What happened to conserving and supporting the health of one's organs? What happened to keeping one's breasts healthy so that you don't have to cut anything out for the sake of preventing cancer down the road? What happened to that kind of thinking? I mean, isn't medicine based on, "First, do no harm"? Isn't that the opening line of the Hippocratic Oath? Aren't doctors supposed to be helping patients, not slicing them up? "Doctor, my arm hurts." "Don't worry, we can remove it." Is that what medicine has come to? |
| We're not talking about the removal of breasts that have cancer; we're talking about the removal of both breasts, a double mastectomy, as a prevention strategy -- even without a diagnosis of cancer. Amazingly, one out of five women said yes.
Now, wait a minute. Let's get a hold of our senses for a second here. If you went to a group of women and said, "Your mother died of breast cancer. |

| Ecological studies, correlating differences in colorectal cancer mortality with differences in population intakes of nutrients such as fat, fiber, and calcium [4-6], suggest that populations with diets low in fat and high in fiber or calcium have lower mortality from colorectal cancer. Analytic epidemiological studies, however, have produced inconsistent findings regarding the relationship between many dietary factors and colorectal cancer. |

 It will be found in prevention, where people are taught how to prevent cancer, diabetes, heart disease, depression, kidney stones, osteoporosis and thousands of other health conditions to which conventional medicine has assigned names. Disease prevention is the key to a healthy nation and, indeed, a healthy world. And it is precisely "prevention" that the sick care industry is opposed to. If diseases are all prevented, where will they find paying customers? Preventing disease is the fastest way to bankrupt Big Pharma. |
