An article excerpt about Spotting After Menopause
In many cases spotting after menopause happens to women who have undergone hormone replacement therapy. This is because the uterine is very sensitive to estrogen and the lack of estrogen can break the blood vessels and cause vaginal bleeding. Polyps and fibroids may also cause post menopause spotting. Polyps [...]

Einstein, a genius scientist of the 20th century, and central to the new energy physics, stated that 'a problem cannot be solved by the same mind set that created it'. Cancer is a case in point. Cancer is a dis-ease that stems partly from the products of the mechanistic, anthropomorphic and exploitative philosophy at the heart of our culture, which we tend to ignore. Its effective treatment demands that we see ourselves in a different light and act accordingly.
A philosophy of medicine that is over-reliant on logic
and limited mainly to drugs and surgery is fundamental flawed. Acts of
logic always rely on analysis, that is breaking down a 'whole' into its
constituent parts, and examining each minutely. Reductionist approaches
fail to see the connectivity and relatedness of all things. As a result
this philosophy is offering us 'cures' to cancer that are often as dangerous
and destructive as the disease itself.
Nobel prize-winner Carlo Rubbia maintains that only a billionth of the
world is actually made of matter and the rest is made of energy. The new
sciences are challenging the way we perceive the world and as a result
the way we relate to our bodies. Dr. K. Scott-Mumby is author of Virtual
Medicine and an allergy specialist in the UK writes:
Science is proving that we exist as regulated and informed energy. Disease
can now be redefined as a disruption, cessation or distortion in the information
and energy fields. Its time for medical practitioners to join the party.
Classical science has reached the end of what it can explain in reductionist
terms. Issues such as whether light is a particle or a wave, or whether
or not water has a memory (an issue central to the 'proof' of homeopathy),
are moving modern science to a quantum level that deals with fields of
energy. Medical science is still stuck in a very physical universe, where
the objective is to 'excise the lump' almost regardless of where it came
from and individual conditions of the patient and their experiences.
New sciences such as the chaos theories point a way forward into handling
the complexities of whole systems that work together, in synergy. Unfortunately
our medical systems and practises are still too often based on philosophy
formulated in medieval times.
Because all interventions in a medical process have to been 'proven' as
workable (using scientific double-blind testing methods) before doctors
will recognise their validity (if they then do the research), medical science
mostly marginalises or ignores healing alternatives that can provide only
'anecdotal evidence'. Multiple simultaneous treatments of different types
and 'levels' tuned for one patient are un-testable by a reductionist philosophy
and therefore ignored by mainstream medicine. In addition to this regulatory
pressures force researchers and companies to test their drugs on patients
with advanced cancer - when the dis-ease is much more difficult to treat
and when the chances of success are modest - this means that potentially
useful treatments are discarded as worthless.
Traditional research methodology, or 'quantitative research' is central
to science and other methodologies are not usually acceptable. 'Qualitative
research' is equally, if not more important at the present time in reference
to cancer. Other medical systems, such as Chinese or Ayurvedic medicine,
Homeopathy or Naturopathy use far subtler tools in both diagnosis and treatment.
They are based on seeing the patient as a whole being and often use multiple
interventions on several levels, simultaneously in the treatment of dis-ease.
Because they work at the level of an individual patient, and from a different
philosophy of medicine, it is almost impossible to analyse them with the
tools of reductionist science.
Our present rash of immune attacking diseases calls for a different kind
of response than just drugs and surgery. A new medicine that combines established
scientific excellence with traditional, alternative and natural treatments
is needed. One that recognises humans as feeling, vibrant, energetic, spiritual
beings as well as physical and mental. There are dramatic developments
in the treatment of cancer using energy systems, but information on this
is actually suppressed. There is a movement towards an integrated medicine
as more orthodox practitioners are starting to join in, led mostly by their
patients.
From an energy point of view, when the human body is weak or unbalanced
it oscillates at different frequencies than when it is healthy. This less
harmonious frequency shows a state of cellular, energetic imbalance in
the body. The physical body that is weakened in this way often needs help
to shift to the needed frequency, which strengthens the immune system.
Some experienced medical doctors can make an intuitive diagnosis based
on experience and can sometimes tell in a second or so what ails their
patient. Posture, skin condition, nail, teeth and tongue all give clues,
but experienced doctors may also intuitively pick up clues about their
patients from energy and vibrational levels in a similar way to a gardener
tending plants or a wild animal hunting its prey.
But modern doctors simply do not have the time for the level of attention
given in many complementary and alternative therapies. This is one of the
reasons alternatives are more popular than ever. Professional detachment
is an essential part of the doctors' repertoire and it protects them in
part from the huge amount of need they encounter in day-to-day work.
Given the track record of orthodox medical science into whole person medicine,
it may well be another 200 years or so before it is able to assimilate
the new quantum sciences in relation to the human body. For those people
with cancer now, there are a deliberately limited options available from
orthodox medicine.

Don't Get Cancer
One antidote to cancer is information In general our responses
to cancer are converging, but very slowly. Presently all cancer authorities
are agreed on only one thing:
cancer cannot take hold in a healthy immune system
The World Health Organisation (W.H.O.) is promoting prevention as a better
option than treatment and particularly targeting smoking as the highest
recogniseable risk area. The Cancer Research Institute (C.R.I.) is seeking
vaccines that support the body's own ability to heal. Alternative and
holistic approaches seek to do the same with diet, nutrition, lifestyle
and other choices.
Different philosophies of medicine achieve 'immune support' in various
ways not considered by orthodox Western medicine, which concentrates
mainly on 'drugs and surgery' as an afterthought to disease, often just
adding more toxins and stress to an overloaded system. Alternative treatments
take many forms to support the body in its own healing process. Although
we have constant new biological treatments promised, they usually only
apply to a small percentage of cancer types.
Change in this field is
agonisingly slow and in some cases utterly stuck. Medical science is
failing to adapt to the new 'quantum theory' sciences that see the human
body from an energy or 'vibrational' perspective. Western 'allopathic'
medicine continues to refuse integration with other, older medical philosophies
such as Chinese, Ayurvedic, Tibetan, Homeopathy, Herbalism or vibrational
treatment.
In truth we don't even have a research methodology that will cope with
assessing different treatment forms and levels tuned to an individual
patient. So far it is much easier for the orthodox to just deny the effectiveness
of alternative ways of healing because they do not make rational scientific
sense, than it is to extend their model to include other healing models.
The fiscal interest of pharmaceutical companies is also a factor in our
lack of access to holistic treatments
The Cancer Research Industry Research shows that in UK every year somewhere
between £450 to £500 million is spent on cancer research
by the pharmaceutical industries, charitable organisations and government.
In US an estimated $14 billion dollars (£7.72 billion) are spent.
A hard-hitting report published in March 2004 by Fortune, an American
business magazine and written by Cliff Leaf, himself a cancer survivor,
suggests that for several reasons much of this funding and research is
misdirected. He claims that despite a total of $200 billion spent on
cancer research since 1971 that mortality rates are basically unchanged.
The report was all but ignored by mainstream media.
What if he's right? What is much of this money is wasted? What if the
research is misdirected? What if much of the work serves no real purpose
beyond the generation of profit? That would mean that the cancer research
industry is one of the biggest bandwagons ever. Despite many more billions
spent world-wide on cancer research there seems very little to show for
it. After seeing friends and family cut down in their prime by cancer,
and its allopathic treatments, this researcher believes that there is
something seriously wrong with accepted wisdom on cancer treatment. The
author's local health authority has a twelve million pound overspend
this year - the major expenditure? The cost of cancer drugs. Several
situations are combining to make cancer a big risk for us all at this
time, despite the hard work of many dedicated health service professionals.
Cancer and Orthodox Medical Science Although medical science has created
miracles in dealing with infectious diseases, solving many of the medical
problems of the 1940's and 50's, the new weapons against acute degenerative
disorders are not yet ready. Genetic testing and counselling, gene therapy,
nutrigenomics, advanced (subtle and tuned) radiotherapies, cell therapies,
therapuetic cloning, cancer vaccines and even anti-aging therapies are
a seemingly constant 10 - 15 years away. This is the 21st century and
we are still getting 20th century treatments. This leaves us at the moment
in a time of high cancer risk with treatments that are often the medical
equivalent of cracking a nut with a sledgehammer. The orthodox treatment
of cancer is too often as dangerous as the disease itself.
Alternative treatments for cancer are not given a fair hearing. Information
is still actively repressed or marginalised from many sources. The subject
of Cancer and alternative treatment must be the original can of worms!
Its never a good time to get cancer but there are more options than you
might think or even be advised from orthodox treatment centres. For example
there are many things one can do to supplement (and ease) orthodox treatments
with complementary ones. It is unlikely you will be given information
on this unless you seek it out yourself.
Although much research on alternatives is often suppressed there are
people who can guide you through the minefield of misinformation, disinformation,
ignorance, applied self-interest, politics and other complexities in
the field of cancer, whatever choices you make. Support is a central
issue in any disease and there are increasing options here with many
groups 'online' helping each other with a variety of treatment forms.
An Integrated Approach to Cancer The cancer discussion needs opening
towards a more integrated medicine that is centred on the patient, but
even this discussion is presently marginalised. People are finding each
other online and comparing notes, even the drug manufacturing industries
are predicting that 'patient advocacy' forms a strong part of future
medicine. But for true patient advocacy to happen, medical consumers
presently need to be at least as, if not better informed than their medical
doctors.
There are many options in cancer treatment that are not generally discussed
through orthodox medicine. For example group therapy is not widely prescribed
or accessible for cancer patients despite the fact that studies show
it can actually double survival time. There is mounting evidence of the
validity of herbal and nutritional regimes that support the immune system
and may complement the sledgehammers of traditional, orthodox treatment,
chemo and radiotherapy.
Sometimes complementary therapies are allowed with orthodox treatment
but are still limited to only accepted medical philosophies - or that
which can be measured through double-blind testing methodologies that
basically view every person as the same. The different philosophies of
'medicalism' and 'holism' - which puts people central to their treatment
- are still far apart. This is not a situation that is in any way advantageous
for those of us who become patients.
Alternative approaches are viewed at best as unproven and are unresearchable
using 'quantitative research methodologies'. There are many people wanting
a more integrated approach to health care than the drugs and surgery
promoted by orthodox allopathic medicine. This is shown by the huge number
of people who seek complementary and alternative medicines without the
knowledge of their doctors. The main research into treatments that address
every aspect of disease and patient still takes place in secret because
practices that fall outside of standard medical practice and physicians
who offer unconventional cancer treatments may be vulnerable to the civil
charge of malpractice. Given the modern quantum sciences and other feasible
medical models such as those mentioned there are many more realistic
options for treatment than we are presently being offered.
It is easy to be overwhelmed in this field, different people giving different
information, which you may need to find, understand and act upon, often
'against the clock'. What is needed is an overview that presents comprehensive
information from wide sources in an objective manner.

The diet / cancer link
Attitudes to the link between diet and cancer are changing fast. The World Cancer Research Fund was founded specifically to fund and sponsor education and research into the diet-cancer link. There is mounting evidence that the high fat intake in a typical Western diet, along with the low intake of nutritious foods such as vegetables, fruits and wholegrains, may be responsible for up to 35% of cancers.
The complex cancer situation effects us all directly. One in three people
in the 'West' now gets cancer at some point. Many factors are combining
to aggravate acute degenerative disorders such as cancer or heart disease,
the two top killers in the Western World. These expose the unwary to
dangers and this includes the toxic side-effects of allopathic treatments
- it is emerging that the third biggest killer may be 'allopathic medicine'
itself !
The World Cancer Research Fund is the only major national charity concerned
with the link between cancer and food, nutrition and lifestyle factors.
Their report 'Food, Nutrition and the Prevention of Cancer: a global
perspective' gives guidelines consistent with those published by the
World Health Organisation, the E.U. 'Europe against Cancer' initiative
and other authoritative organisations. The idea of an 'anti-cancer diet'
promotes prevention by strengthening the immune system directly and has
partly led to the promotion of a 'five a day' campaign for fresh fruit
and vegetables.
The intensification of agricultural practices has led to a decline of
between 25% to 75% in the levels of key mineral nutrients in farmed vegetables
over the last 60 years. There has also been a rise in farmed fruit sugar
levels, so much so that some 'natural' fruit juices now contain as much
sugar as a fizzy drink.
If we can source quality food, our cooking methods often destroy the
nutritional content. Studies show that fresh, uncooked vegetables strengthen
the immune system and increase resistance to many diseases. Cabbage placed
in cold water and boiled loses about 75% of its vitamin C content. Similarly
fresh peas cooked for only five minutes lose 20-40% of their Thiamine
content and 30-40% of their vitamin C. About 50% of vitamin E is destroyed
by frying or baking food.
Tests in Spain recently measured the levels of flavonoids (a kind of
antioxidant) left in fresh broccoli after it was cooked. The results
show large differences in flavonoid content according to how the broccoli
was prepared.
The cooking methods were:
· boiling - 66% loss
· pressure-cooking - 53% loss of major antioxidant
· steaming - minimal loss of antioxidants
· microwaving
- 97% loss of flavonoids
Scientists in Finland found that blanching and deep-freezing vegetables
destroyed beneficial compounds. Blanching prior to freezing destroyed
up to one-third of the vitamin C content of vegetables and more was lost
in storage. The healing properties of uncooked foods are being increasingly
recognised in natural cancer therapies.
The more we let food industries create what we eat the more likely we
are to be at risk from diet related problems. In effect the commercial
interests of food manufacturers are systematically robbing unwary shoppers
of health, and eventually life. The more control and information we have
in sourcing pure foodstuffs, the less at risk we are from dis-ease for
nutritional reasons. One of the first steps in finding a healthy diet
is changing how and where we shop and sourcing foods we can trust. The
supermarkets give us thousands of choices but few options. Try to find
for example, one of the many varieties of biscuits available that do
not contain 'hydrogenated vegetable oil'.
Too much protein in a diet is also harmful to health and can promote
cancer. Meat and sugar-rich diets are common in the West. These are often
overcooked or over processed. When cooked or processed foods are eaten
our white blood cells (leukocytes) rush to the intestine to help with
digestion. As a result other parts of the body may be left undefended
from attack by germs and viruses after a heavily synthetic meal.
Biological enhancement of crops, growth hormones in milk and meat, mercury
in our mouths, colorants and carcinogens in food are commonplace. The
foot and mouth epidemic, B.S.E. in sheep and cattle, nuclear radiation
and the de-naturalisation of our food are examples of how common sense
is abandoned to profit. The 'Precautionary Principle' is too often being
overlooked in the rush of science.
The genetic modification of foodstuffs for example is still largely untested
and many of its results are open to interpretation. Scientific knowledge
of the processes involved is actually at an early stage. Little is known
about side effects, how gene function is controlled, gene transfer into
other organisms such as bacteria in the human gut. The British Medical
Association (B.M.A.) has said that the potential adverse effects have
not been sufficiently investigated and strongly recommend caution. The
United Nations' safety body, the Food and Agriculture Organisation, has
warned that the failure to carry out full health checks on G.M. foods
could lead to toxic reactions, allergies and increased resistance to
antibiotics.
Experience has shown that genetically modified and organic foods cannot
exist together because genetically modified crops will cross-pollinate
with any others. Contamination of the whole food chain has already occurred
within a couple of years. Biotechnology companies that are facing opposition
in Europe are targeting less well resourced countries such as India in
the hope that genetically modified organisms will spread irreversibly
before public opinion has time to intervene.
In addition to avoiding the carcinogens that are increasing everywhere
in our culture, we need a complex yet balanced mixture of specific minerals
and nutrients to maintain ourselves in a healthy way. Recent government
policy recommends we should eat a minimum of five or six fruit and vegetable
types in any given day. The British Dietetic Association's survey shows
that the typical English diet includes only 3.3 portions of fruit and
vegetables a day.
The Scottish consume 2.7 portions a day while the Irish
get only a measly 2.3. New research from Spain suggests that the quality
of food and its method of preparation are as important as the quantity,
since many of the nutrients in food are destroyed during industrial preparation
and even in domestic cooking processes. In order to gain the breadth
of specific minerals we need to maintain health using food, we need fresh,
quality food types, cooked appropriately, or at least someone to sell
us the right supplements!
The quick-fix mentality of Western culture has grown so used to pill-popping
supplements that markets have responded to this. The American public
uses increasing amounts of vitamin and mineral supplements. A survey
conducted by the Federal Drugs Authority (F.D.A.) in America states that
over 60 million Americans believe that vitamin supplements are essential
for good health. The report also shows that about 20 million Americans
believe that mineral deficiency is a primary cause of disease, including
cancer, which shows what a good marketing job the supplements industry
has done.
Drug corporations are moving quickly into the supplements
industry following market forces. Legislation in Europe is posed to ban
many supplements (like herbs) that have a natural source, in preference
to pharmaceutical alternatives. Even though appropriate dietary supplements
are becoming recognised as a useful tool in maintaining health, legislation
is fast catching up to regulate this field, showing a clear preference
to synthetic chemicals.
In 1980 the National Academy of Sciences Committee on Dietary Allowances
(who established R.D.A.'s or Recommended Daily Allowances) found no scientific
evidence for nutritional benefits from vitamins, minerals or trace elements
in dosages greater than those supplied by a balanced diet. Supplement
industries with generous advertising budgets persuade many people that
it is better to have 'expensive urine' than be at risk to disease through
lacking the right vitamin or mineral in a diet.

Many volunteers world-wide commit themselves to raising
funds for cancer research and cancer charities. Many hundreds of thousands
more work in the industry as carers, or researching, prescribing, diagnosing
and manufacturing drugs. Huge companies spend fortunes on cancer research.
After so long and so many billions spent what exactly has cancer research
revealed?
There have been regular breakthroughs in our understanding of cancer,
but little progress in its treatment. Modern research into cancer began
in the 1940's and 50's when scientists isolated substances that killed
cancer cells growing in a petri dish, or leukaemia cells in laboratory
mice. Early successes in chemotherapy set the pace and received much
media exposure, even though they only applied to 5% of cancer treatments
at most.
Serving humanity by solving its major diseases has a celebrity status,
there is a lot of kudos and an air of Hollywood involved in such things.
Cancer research is high profile activity and every now and then a scientific
treatment is discovered that gains wide recognition, such as the HPV-16
trial, but it only applies itself to the treatment of a small percentage
of cancers. Mass-media hype is part of the problem of how we see cancer.
Early discoveries set up an expectation that there was a cure-all treatment,
a 'magic bullet' that would make its discoverer famous by curing cancer
across the world. The idea stems in part from aspirin, the original bullet
that magically finds its way to the pain and diminishes it. Even now
boasts of 'paradigm shifts' in orthodox cancer care are exaggerated.
In the 1950's and 60's huge and expensive research projects were set
up to test every known substance to see if it effected cancer cells.
You might remember the discovery of the Madagascar Periwinkle (Catharansus
Roseus), which revealed alkaloids (vinblastine and vincristine) that
are still used in chemotherapy today. Taxol, a treatment for ovarian
and breast cancer originally came from the Pacific Yew tree. A treatment
for testicular cancer and small-cell lung cancer called 'Etoposide' was
derived from the May apple. In 'Plants Used Against Cancer' by Jonathan
Hartwell over 3,000 plants are identified from medical and folklore sources
for treating cancer, about half of which have been shown to have some
effect on cancer cells in a test tube.
When these plants are made into synthetic drugs, single chemicals are
isolated and the rest of the plant is usually thrown away. The medicinally
active molecules are extracted from the plant and modified until they
are chemically unique. Then the compound is patented, given a brand name
and tested.
In the first phase it will generally be tested on animals, the second
phase will decide dosage levels and in phase 3 it is tested on people.
By the time it is approved by the Federal Drugs Authority (in U.S.A.)
or the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulation Agency (M.H.R.A.)
in Britain, the development costs for a new drug can reach five hundred
million dollars, which eventually has to be recouped from the consumer.
In addition to 'treatment directed' research such as finding chemicals
that effect cancer cells, basic research continues apace, into differences
between normal and cancerous cells. In the last 30 years this research
has revealed much about our nature, but still no cure. Below are some
current strands of scientific research into cancer.
antibody-guided therapy: this is the original 'magic bullet'. Cancer
researchers use monoclonal antibodies to carry poisons directly to the
cancer cells without harming others.
chronobiology: much of what happens in our bodies is governed by cycles,
from the female monthly cycle to the cycles of brainwaves. Human health
depends on interacting cycles geared to acts of perception, breathing,
reproduction and renewal. Chronobiology analyses these cycles in relation
to different times, such as day and night. Hormones, including stress
and growth hormones, have their own cycles. For example they may be at
their highest activity in the morning and quieter at night. Cancer cells
seem to no longer obey the same cycle rates as normal cells.
Anti-telomerase: one part of a cell, called the telomerase, governs the
life cycle of a cell and how many times it may multiply. Some cancer
cells escape this control and can increase the number of times they divide,
becoming 'immortal'. Researchers hope to gain control over cancer cells
by stopping the action of telomerase.
Anti-angiogenesis: secondary tumours (metastasis) can persuade the cells
around them to grow new blood vessels to feed the tumours, supplying
oxygen and nutrients for the growing cancer. This process is called angiogenesis
and research here is finding ways to stop the signals to normal cells
that start the process.
Anti-adhesion molecules: Cancer cells form into clumps, unlike those
in a petri dish which form into a flatter arrangement. When there are
clumps of cells they seem to possess a quality that resists treatment.
This strand of research looks at ways that can stop the cells clumping
together, by dissolving the clumps for more effective treatment.
Anti-oncogene products: specific portions of D.N.A., called oncogenes,
that have an important role in promoting cancer growth. Drugs that interfere
with the production of oncogenes may be useful for the future treatment
of cancer.
Phthalates exposure through hair mousse and hair spray can cause genital
abnormality. It can be absorbed into the body through skin and also through
inhalation.
Propylene glycol used in hair conditioners deodorants cosmetics baby
products body lotions skin care and tooth pastes and even added to human
and pet food can cause eye irritation, skin irritation, headaches and
nausea.
Scientist recently found paraben in breast cancer tissue. It is used
as a preservative and is considered to increase oestrogen levels in women
and can drive the growth of breast tumors.
Gene therapy: research into the use of tumour suppressant genes is highlighted
in the British National Cancer Plan as an important element. Essentially,
bits of DNA are inserted to replace missing or damaged genes, possibly
preventing the development of cancer in someone who might be 'high risk'.
Vaccines: very quietly the search for a general cure for cancer is being
put aside in preference to finding a vaccine. The whole idea of a cure
or treatment that is 'the same for everybody' breaks down in the case
of the specific, chaotic conditions that cause cancer in an individual
person. After billions spent on research for the holy grail of a cancer
cure, the search is now on to find a vaccine.
At a recent cancer immunology conference in the US top immunologists
from 21 nations attended lectures on the latest immunology topics such
as:
· cancer immunosurveillance
· immunoediting
· cancer antigen discovery
· monitoring and analysing the immunological response to human cancer
· cancer vaccine development
The Cancer Vaccine Collaborative (CVC) was launched to much excitement.
It is a unique research program that should improve how cancer vaccines
are developed, based on a collaboration of six New York medical centres
and one in Minnesota. The aim of their research is to find out how to
effectively immunise against cancer using a vaccine, using 'action research'.
Vaccines made from donor blood are proving to work for some cancers.
Experiments with bone marrow transplants show there are about 40,000
different tissue types making it hard to find a match. Usually a perfect
match can only be found within the patient's direct family. Incorrect
matches can create a host of secondary dis-eases. Scientist are finding
ways to train Killer T cells taken either from the host or a donor, to
more effectively attack cancer cells.
They have noticed that donor Killer
T cells that are already 'primed' for a particular cancer (e.g. the donor
body cells 'remember' the disease) can be highly effective. It may take
many years to prove validity, reliability, safety and efficacy for this
treatment. Harvesting the natural immunity of our own, or donor cells
with the aid of genetic engineering may well become a big player against
modern immune attacking dis-eases.
Increased screening: this type of research looks at genetically identifying
individuals who might be at high risk of certain types of cancer and
is partly a preparation for possible vaccines. Genetic counselling is
set to become a 21st century contributor to health care based on prevention
of disease as much as cure.
Combinations: research from West Germany (Grossart-Maticek) argues that
there is no single cause for cancer, similar to the pattern in most chronic
illness. It shows there are environmental, psychological and spiritual
dimensions to disease. The implication is that treatment should be on
the same levels, and that no single treatment is likely to be effective
because there is no single cause. This observation links with the position
of many Holistic practitioners who often have a wider view of health
than orthodox medical practitioners.
Dr. Robert Buckman is an experienced cancer researcher, and author of
the informative book: 'What You Really Need to Know About Cancer'. He
summarises what he sees as the present position of scientific cancer
research:
"We now have a very large number of ways of looking at cancer cells in
the laboratory. We have thousands of different types of cancer cells
growing in dishes, many of which can be grown and then cured in laboratory
bred mice. We also have thousands of different ways of looking at and
testing those cells. We can look at the cells' growth, their abilities
to produce different substances, their sensitivity to some chemotherapy
drugs and their resistance to others, the way they respond to growth
factors, their genetic material including oncogenes and substances controlled
by oncogenes, their ability to effect other cells (of the immune system,
for example), their ability to damage membranes and invade,
their structure under the electron microscope and whether or not the cell surface has any of hundreds of different marker molecules on it. These are just a few examples of what can be done nowadays: the complete list of ways in which cancer cells can be tested would probably be longer than this entire book. But here is the snag: although this accumulation of experience is wonderful and commendable, cancer in human beings is far more complicated then any laboratory system can ever be (at least in the light of current knowledge)".

Personal care products can lead to Cancer
Our skin is a two way membrane. During perspiration toxins
are eliminated from our body through it. Recently scientists have found
that some chemicals when applied to the skin can penetrate the body and
be absorbed by the body in significant amounts. Many personal care products
contain chemicals which are considered hazardous by EPA. National Institute
of Occupational safety and health found 884 chemicals used in personal
care products and cosmetics are known to be toxins. The numbers of products
used by adults and children that contain potent carcinogens are very
