MOST CANCER DOCTORS WHO ARE NUTRITIONALLY TRAINED KNOW THE FOLLOWING TO BE TRUE,UNFORTUNELY THE ONES THAT AREN'T ,GIVE THE PATIENT BAD SOME TIMES COSTLY ADVICE. Soy is a plant and does not promote cancer cell growth: Soy , which is rich in Phytoestrogen helps the body fight Cancer on many levels. The key seems to be two Phytochemicals found exclusively in soy. The Genisten and Daidzein isoflavones. Recent research into breast Cancer cells that are resistant to radiation and chemotherapy found Genistein inactivated the survival mechanism of these mutant cells, resulting in the rapid death of breast cancer cells that were otherwise resistant to chemotherapy. This anti-cancer "smart bomb" may have similar implications for Prostate cancer, Melanoma, Ovarian cancer , Bladder cancer , Liver cancer , and Lung cancer . In other studies Genisten was found to halt cell growth and the development of new blood vessels that feed tumors and reduce the spread of cancer through the body. Soy can help prevent cancer in other ways ,too. The Phytoestrogen in soy bind with estrogen receptors in the breast,blocking out estrogen and inhibiting the development of cancer cells Scientists have documented that soy protein can lengthen the time between menstrual periods by one to five days. Studies have shown that women with longer menstrual cycles have lower occurrences of developing breast and cervical cancers. Plus, soy has been shown to lower cholesterol, fight osteoporosis, limit the symptoms of menopause, burn excess body fat and raise energy levels. Now, a new generation of super potent antioxidants promises even greater protection. Activin: Research shows that Activin, derived from red grape seeds, is a significantly more powerful antioxidant than Vitamins C, E and beta-carotene. Findings announced at the American Association of Cancer Research conference show ActiVin dramatically inhibits and in some cases kills human breast, lung and stomach cancer cells, while increasing normal healthy cell growth. Protykin: Protykin is an extract of resveratrol and emodin, natural substances found in grapes and other plant foods. University studies show resveratrol protects the heart and helps prevent cancer. Emodin also helps protect against cancer, stomach disorders and harmful bacteria. hope this information helps you.

I man be a man but my life has been touched by this in many ways, including my mother (6 years cancer-free!) Be strong! Be there for others! There is a wonderful new CD out by Olivia Newton-John (also a suvivor!) called "Stronger than Before" that is an anthem to women(and men) everywhere going thru ANY kind of trouble in their lives.

Thank you for this wonderful site. I have a stong family history of cancer. I lost my mother, grandmother and a great aunt and that is just to breast cancer. I have had a mammogram every year for the past 5 years and this time I got an abnormal reading. I am scheduled for compression views on Nov 2nd. The waiting is what gets to me. The mammogram results were: small asymetrci density posterior central right breast. What does this mean? I have been told that it is not a cyst or a calcium deposti..what does that leave? Yoshioka..thanks for your wonderful comments...it has helped me deal with the stress. Family is in denial that there is a "problem"...I can't pretend that there is nothing wrong. I have been having a burning pain on right side (rib are under arm) and creepy crawly feeling around to back area. If this was not there then i probably would not worry so much. I heard that cancer does not hurt but why does this? My Doctor really does not have any answers so i am stuck waiting for the other test and results. Thank you for this site. If anyone would like to chat, i would appreciate it. my email is southerngraceala2002@yahoo.com Thank you.
