Basal cell skin cancers and squamous cell skin cancers are the most common cancers in Caucasians. Squamous cell cancers are of greater concern because of their potential to metastasize, especially those on the head and neck. Nicotinamide is a form of vitamin B3. It boosts cellular energy and enhances repair of DNA that is …
Anyone who has owned a dog know how keen their sense of smell is. They have been deployed for their keen sense of scent detection for many years and for multiple uses, including: agriculture detection, bomb and narcotics detection, criminal apprehension, money detection, contraband, missing persons, police, seizure detection, and bedbugs.

In 1977 Dr. Frank Oski – at the time Director of the Department of Pediatrics at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and Physician-in-Chief of the Johns Hopkins Children’s Center- published a small book titled, “Don’t Drink Your Milk.” Researchers at that time reported that men who ingested more than 2 ½ servings of dairy …
Considerable evidence suggests that tumors contain only a minority of cells which are capable of re-growing the tumor (ie. tumor stem cells). 99.1% – 99.6% of the tumor cells are NOT dangerous (aside from obstructive factors). “Similarly, usually less than 1% of primary tumor cells cultured in vitro can give rise to colonies.” Chemo and …
Independent research shows 540% increase of risk of brain cancer with more than 2000 hours of use of cell phone. Recent study from Sweden: If you start using cell phone as a teenager, you increase the risk of brain cancer more than 5 times than those who started using it as an adult Burton Goldberg also …
Antioxidants have been shown to improve the effectiveness of chemotherapy and radiation while protecting the rest of the body tissue from damage, because cancer cells are primarily anaerobic (meaning “without oxygen”) cells. Since cancer is usually an oxygen-deprived tissue, the cancer cell has very poor mechanisms for absorbing proper amounts of antioxidants. The antixoidants …
Every week JAMA has an article written by physicians expressing their experiences in life. This last week article, written by Thomas Edes, MD, I thought was unusually good. It relates the story of Bonnie, a woman with cancer who initially approached it with aggressive chemotherapy and radiation. She endured the countless prolonged visits to clinics, …
Sunshine is regularly blamed for causing fatal skin cancers, but it may help save your life if you develop a different cancer. It seems that sunlight has an overall protective effect as it stimulates the body’s production of vitamin D, which helps to combat internal cancers including those of the colon and prostate. “A little …
Towards the end of last year there were articles appearing in the press about how the incidence of cancer was decreasing. President Bush went to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) to publicly take credit for the one half of one percent drop. But what the NCI won’t tell you is that the Veterans Administration has …
Yesterday I came across an article titled, Cancer Incidence Before and After Kidney Transplantation. What the study found was very intriguing. The authors found in their research that kidney transplantation is associated with a marked increase in cancer risk at a wide variety of sites. Specifically there was an astounding 3-4 fold increase in the …
