Nobody welcomes a cancer diagnosis. While some would rather know and get started on treatment right away, others may choose to avoid doctors and turn a blind eye to unusual symptoms.
But ignorance is far from bliss in this example. Wherever you land on this spectrum, you should know which symptoms should be evaluated. Early detection relies on your proactivity and the faster you consult your trusted doctor, the better chance you have of beating some of these insidious diseases. Continue reading
The study by researchers at Michigan State University (MSU) found that rice, wheat, leafy green vegetables, baby foods and dark chocolates with high heavy metal concentrations are connected to the thousands of cancer cases each year. Foods contaminated with metals such as lead and cadmium were linked to cases of bladder and lung cancer.
Meanwhile, arsenic was linked to 7,000 cases of skin cancer. Continue reading
According to the American Cancer Society, an estimated 1,762,450 new cancer cases were diagnosed before the end of 2019. Of that number, approximately 606,880 Americans, nearly 1,662 each day, died.
After heart disease, cancer is still the second-leading cause of death in the U.S. and is attributed to every 1 in 4 deaths. On a larger scale, the World Health Organization estimates that 1 in 6 deaths worldwide is due to cancer and that one-third of those deaths are from behavioral and dietary risks. By 2030, the number of new cancer cases is expected to increase by 40% for high-income countries, and twice that rate at 80% in low-income countries. Continue reading
A young Dr. Gonzalez with his mentor… Dr. William D. Kelley
Editor’s NOTE: There are occasions that we choose to bring back to the forefront a piece which we had published some years ago – and today we are doing just that. You see – time goes on – and with both Dr. Kelley and Dr. Gonzalez not with us any longer – other than in Spirit – we find a great need to be reminded of what they had accomplished for their fellow men and women – chiefly – what we refer to here as “Cancer VICTIMS”. So enjoy – but most importantly – learn from those who provided the answers to the dis-ease that we know of as ‘Cancer‘. ~ Jeffrey Bennett, Editor
In 1981, Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez began researching the use of pancreatic proteolytic enzyme therapy as a treatment for cancer (Gonzalez and Isaacs, 1999). He conducted an intensive retrospective review of 1,306 patients who had been treated over a 20-year period by Dr. Kelley who used enzyme therapy, diet and nutritional support. This study included a review of pancreatic cancer patients, some of whom survived in excess of 5 years (unpublished). Continue reading
In a new study, researchers report that health professionals who lost weight without starting a diet or exercise plan within the previous two years had a significantly higher risk of developing cancer within the following year.
Health professionals who had unexpected weight loss in the previous two years had a significantly higher risk of developing cancer during the subsequent 12 months compared to those who did not have recent weight loss, according to a new study published in the journal JAMA Network.
Unintentional weight loss is losing weight without changing your diet or beginning an exercise program. The study looked at a 10% or greater weight loss in the healthcare professionals. Continue reading
There’s a small fatty gland that sits behind your sternum and is often said to be ‘useless’ in adulthood.
A recent retrospective study, however, suggests the thymus gland is not nearly as expendable as experts once thought.
US researchers found that those who get their thymus removed face an increased risk of death from any cause later in life. Continue reading
Here are some risk factors to have on-radar, according to experts.
The good news: Deaths from cancer have steadily lowered over the past 30 years, speaking to the power of medical advancements and consumer awareness about the importance of check-ups and screenings. On the other hand, the diagnosis of cancer is increasing, especially among younger American adults. According to an American Cancer Society (ACS) report published January 17, 2024, this could be the first year we see more than 2 million cases of cancer diagnosed in the United States. Continue reading
Over a twenty-five year period, Dr. William Donald Kelley, a dentist by training, developed a complex approach to treating many chronic and degenerative diseases, including cancer. The three main elements of his metabolic program are nutrition, detoxification, and supplements of pancreatic enzymes. Although the controversial Kansas-born practitioner was condemned as a charlatan by the orthodox medical establishment, thousands; of severely ill patients sought his advice and followed his program, many with reported good results. Today, a number of practitioners claim to be using the Kelley regimen, though whether they actually are is open to question. Continue reading
In a report published on Jan. 17, the American Cancer Society (ACS) estimated that new cancer cases will surpass 2 million in 2024, hitting a record high.
While the risk of dying from cancer has declined, cancer incidence has been rising for six of the most common cancers: breast, prostate, endometrial, pancreatic, kidney, and melanoma.
The new estimates represent a 2 percent increase from the ACS’s 2023 estimates. Continue reading
Women are exposed to nearly a thousand chemicals linked to breast cancer on an almost daily basis, a study has found.
The above graphic shows daily items that the scientists said contained chemicals which have been linked to breast cancer
Researchers analyzed official databases containing tens of thousands of common chemicals used in food, consumer products and other industries to reveal those linked to America’s most common cancer. Continue reading
Uncle Sam has made some progress in reducing cancer drug shortages by working with manufacturers to restart U.S. production facilities that were previously shut down, as well as securing vital overseas supplies.
One drug, cisplatin, often used to treat ovarian, bladder and testicular cancer has already returned to near 100% pre-shortage levels of supply. However, The U.S. still has an overall shortage of 15 cancer drugs, per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), because of manufacturing and supply chain problems. Continue reading
Health authorities in Punjab, Pakistan, where the incident took place say that Avastin, a cancer drug injection made by Swiss pharmaceutical giant Roche, say they are currently probing two distributors of the shot, which contains the active ingredient bevacizumab.
In Pakistan, bevacizumab is licensed for use in the same ways it was first approved for use in the United States back in 2004, particularly in the treatment of colon cancer. Since then, bevacizumab has been given the green light for use in treating cancers of the lung, kidneys, and brain.
The Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan (DRAP) recently gave bevacizumab the go-ahead to also be used in treating colorectal cancer and other forms of metastatic carcinomas. Continue reading
The more that’s learned about the COVID mRNA shot, the more serious are the questions raised about its safety. Now, apparently, cancer can be added to the list.
As studies emerge on the COVID-19 mRNA shot, several documented dangerous or deadly side effects are coming to light. Pathologist Dr. Ryan Cole, in a recent interview with Greg Hunter on USA Watchdog, suggested one more can be added to the list.
“The amount of autoimmune disease we’re seeing, inflammation in the hearts of healthy young people that we’re seeing, neurologic damage and harm, Parkinson’s, exacerbation and worsening of dementia, and Alzheimer’s disease – and … to bring the monster in the room, cancer is on the uptick. So, we’re in trouble,” he summarizes. Continue reading
A few years ago, one of my students came to me and spoke about her mother who was undergoing treatment for breast cancer. She said her mother was losing her memory and her bearings, and was very worried because nobody knew what to do about her symptoms. The oncologist sent her to the psychiatrist. The psychiatrist sent her back, saying that her symptoms were a result of the cancer treatment.
This experience prompted my student and me to begin studying the problem of ‘chemobrain’ or ‘chemofog’ – the terms used by people who have experienced memory loss or cognitive impairment following cancer treatment. Scientifically, it’s referred to as ‘cancer-related cognitive impairment’ or ‘chemotherapy-related cognitive dysfunction’. Continue reading

Scientists have discovered a new way to destroy cancer cells. Stimulating aminocyanine molecules with near-infrared light caused them to vibrate in sync, enough to break apart the membranes of cancer. Continue reading
