The Many Prentative Health Benefits of Vitamin D
Scientific evidence shows vitamin D may go beyond its traditionally known role in maintaining bone integrity, according to new research presented at the Institute of Food Technologists Annual Meeting and Food Expo® earlier this month. It may play a role in preventing autoimmune dis-eases or over-acid tissue conditions such as multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis, some types of cancerous conditions such as breast, ovarian, colorectal and prostate.

Cancer is Acid and Acid is Cancer
It seems that both red and white wine are "equal acidic offenders" when it comes to increasing the risk of breast cancer, according to a study published today.
"We were interested in teasing out red wine's effects on breast cancer risk. There is reason to suspect that red wine might have beneficial effects based on previous studies of heart disease and prostate cancer," Dr. Polly Newcomb, of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Seattle, noted in a hospital statement.
"The general evidence is that alcohol consumption overall increases breast cancer risk, but the other studies made us wonder whether red wine might in fact have some positive value," she explained.
However, in their analysis, Newcomb's team found no difference between red or white wine in relation to breast cancer risk. "Neither appears to have any benefits," she said.
Among a large group of women with and without breast cancer, Newcomb and colleagues found that women who drank 14 or more acidic alcoholic drinks per week -- regardless of whether they drank red or white wine, liquor or beer -- faced a 24 percent increase in breast cancer compared with non-drinkers.
"If a woman drinks," Newcomb told Reuters Health, "she should do so in moderation -- no more than one drink per day. And if a woman chooses red wine, she should do so because she favors the taste, not because it may reduce her risk of breast cancer."
The findings are based on 6,327 women with breast cancer and 7,558 women matched for age who provided information about their drinking habits and other risk factors for breast cancer. The women, who were between 20 and 69 years old, were from Wisconsin, Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
The frequency of alcohol consumption was similar in both groups, and equal proportions of women in both groups reported consuming red wine and white wine.
According to Dr. Robert O. Young, Director of Research at the pH Miracle Living Center, "alcohol is a toxic acid that can be stored in the fatty tissues even the breast tissue causing both women and men an acidic condition known as breast cancer. This is further evidence of my theory that cancer is an acidic liquid and not a cell and can be prevented and/or reversed by maintaining the alkaline design of the body with an alkaline lifestyle and diet."

Can Breast Cancer Tumors Disappear?
The following article by Kathleen Doheny, entitled, "Can Breast cancer Disappear?" is significant because it supports my theory that tumors of the breast are not the cancer and can and do disappear just like the scab from a cut disappears as it becomes the new skin.
We need to understand that cancer is not the cell but an acidic environmental, metabolic, and/or a dietary liquid. With this understanding we can then stop treating the cells or the encapsulated cells that form the tumor and start treating the fluids that surround the cells of the body.
All cancers of the cell(s) or tissue(s) is a dis-ease of the fluids not a dis-ease of the cells. Cancer is a four letter word - ACID! Cancer is a systemic condition the expresses itself in the weakest parts of the body. Cancer is not a localized cellular condition that metastasizes but a systemic acidic condition that localizes. Given time the tumor like the scab will disappear in a proper alkaline environment. Tumors of the breast are encapsulated acidic cells. Given time in an alkaline environment breast tumors will crystallize or harden, breakdown and disappear as new healthy tissue reappears.
The treatment for any cancerous condition to be ultimately successful must focus on the environment - the fluids around the cell(s) that make up the affected tissue(s) and not the cell(s) or tissue(s) themselves. A cancerous condition is what is happening to the cell(s) and tissue(s) and is not the cause but the affect of an acidic toxic environment.
So Can Breast Cancer Disappear?
One study shows some cancers detected by mammograms can regress on their own. The American Cancer Society Disagrees. Dr. Robert O. Young agrees that cancerous tumors, like the scab, can and do disappear in the proper alkaline environment.
Nov. 24, 2008 -- Can breast cancer disappear? The question may sound ridiculous, but some breast cancers detected on mammography may have spontaneously disappeared if they had not been found and treated, according to a team of researchers from Norway and Dartmouth Medical School.
But a spokesman for the American Cancer Society calls that conclusion an "overreaching leap in logic" and stresses that the benefits of regular mammograms far outweigh the potential harms.
"Some breast cancers will not continue to behave as cancers, even though they look like cancer under the microscope, and they grow and reach a size where they can be detected on mammograms," Jan Maehlen, MD, PhD, a study co-author, tells WebMD. "But if they had been left intact [instead of treated after detection], some will stop growing and shrink and disappear over a course of perhaps two years."
He calls these growths "pseudo-cancers." Even so, Maehlen says, "the message for women is go to screening."
In the study, published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, Maehlen's team looked at breast cancer rates among women in Norway, all ages 50 to 64, who had a single mammogram or three mammograms.
The multiple-screened group included nearly 120,000 women, screened three times between the years 1996 and 2001. The comparison group included nearly 110,000 women, screened once at the end of the observation period.
After the final screening, breast cancer rates were 22% higher in the multiple-screened group. While 1,909 of every 100,000 women in the multiple-screened group had breast cancer, 1,564 of every 100,000 women in the comparison group screened only once did.
Breast Cancer Screening
Maehlen's team concludes that some breast cancers detected by repeat mammograms would not persist at the end of six years, because the total incidence of breast cancer among the comparison group never equaled that of the regularly screened group.
"Breast cancer screening is a two-sided sword," Maehlen says. "Our results shift the balance towards harm and away from benefits. On one hand, a malignant tumor may be detected and treated somewhat earlier and this may decrease the risk to die by a few percent. On the other hand there is a considerable risk that a screening-detected lesion is a pseudo cancer."
He says the results imply that as many as two out of three screenings detected lesions -- including invasive cancers and the noninvasive ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) -- may be pseudo cancers.
Maehlen expects the conclusion to spark debate. "The majority of the people in the field would be skeptical," he says.
As to which women might be more likely to have breast cancers that spontaneously regress, Maehlen says that is not known. "It could be the immune system is the cause for the disappearance of some cancers," he says, presumably with the healthiest immune systems most likely to fight off cancers.
Or, he says, it could depend on the biology of the individual cancer as to whether it regresses.
The American Cancer Society took issue with the thinking that cancer may regress on its own. "The conclusion that more than 1 in 5 invasive breast cancers is destined to regress without incident if not detected by mammography [the 22% figure cited in the study] is nothing more than an overreaching leap in logic," Robert A. Smith, PhD, director of cancer screening for the American Cancer Society, says in a prepared statement.
Other studies have found that "over-diagnosis" -- not the same as regression -- probably occurs in less than 5% of all screen-detected cancer cases if it exists at all, Smith says.
He says the benefits of regular mammograms far outweigh any limitations, such as false-positive results and "possibly a small rate of over-diagnosis."
The study has weaknesses, but also strengths, says Robert Kaplan, PhD, the Wasserman Distinguished Professor and chair of the department of health services at the University of California, Los Angeles School of Public Health, in an editorial accompanying the study.
As a result, he writes, "the findings should not be dismissed."
The study, Kaplan says, points out how little experts know about the natural history of breast cancer.
The concept of breast cancer spontaneously regressing is worth further study, Kaplan writes.

More Reasons to Stop Eating Animal Proteins
A pair of recent studies have identified potential health problems related to the consumption of processed meats, including breast cancer and Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
The consumption of red and processed meats was linked to a higher incidence of breast cancer, a connection that was particularly strong among postmenopausal women.
One explanation may be the acidic compounds produced when meat is grilled, such as heterocyclic amines and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, that have been shown to promote tumor growth.
Another study of more than 7,000 patients -- most of them seniors -- showed that cured, processed meats like ham, bacon and sausage were connected to lower lung functioning and a much higher risk for COPD, even taking into account numerous dietary and other risk factors.
Patients who consumed the most processed meats often ate fewer alkalizing fruits and vegetables than others did as well, which may have compounded the problem.
Dr. Young has suggested that the acids from animal proteins such as nitric, uric, sulphuric and phosphuric acid may be the primary cause of cancerous tissue. When acids from animal proteins penetrate the cell they spoil the cell causing the body to go into a protective mode.
One of the ways in which the body protects itself from acidic cells is to encapsulate these spoiled or cancerous cells with fibrin nets which then forms the tumor. The tumor becomes the solution to protect healthy cells and tisses from spoiling from acidic cells and tissues.
