OK... so they tell us to wear sunscreen to prevent sunburn, but the sun actually nourishes our body with Vitamin D... NATURALLY! So isn't it amazing that researchers from the University of South Carolina made a presentation at the 3rd American Association for Cancer Research Conference on the Science of Cancer Health Dsiparities in Miami. According to their research, Vitamin D deficiency may actually contribute the developmen of breast cancer.
The researchers at University South Cacalacki measured Vitamin D levels in 107 women who had received a breast cancer diagnosis within the past five years. Not only was Vitamin D deficiency widespread among the participants, but lower levels of the vitamin were also significantly correlated with triple-negative breast cancer.
I have never heard this term before, triple negative breast cancer, but it appears that this particular cancer is the most aggressive and hardest to treat form of the dis-ease as it is unresponsive to all the most conventional effective drugs. The researchers found that it was eight times more common in women with Vitamin D difeciency than in those with adequate levels of the vitamin.
A population study based on the California Cancer Registry found that women who were diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer were likely to be under the age of 40, Black or Hispanic, and were living at a low socioeconomic status. Their cancers were more aggressive than estrogen-receptor positive tumors, and were diagnosed at a later stage of the disease. In the five years after treatment, risk of recurrence was high.Typically, darker skin acts somewhat as a block to producing Vitamin D when exposed to sunlight, which is the primary source of Vitamin D in most people. Only 15 percent of white women in the study had low levels of Vitamin D deficiency, 60 percent of black / brown skin participants had insufficient levels."[The study] corroborates other research showing racial differences in Vitamin D status and provides further support for a protective role of Vitamin D in breast cancer," the researchers wrote.As more evidence of Vitamin D's role in disease prevention has emerged in recent years, health experts have become increasingly alarmed at the widespread levels of deficiency across the United States."Vitamin D deficiency is epidemic in America, and it contributes not only to the development of osteoporosis but to increased cancer and heart disease as well," writes Joel Fuhrman in his book Cholesterol Protection for Life.
Personally I have found one of the best supplements for Vitamin D intake is with Nordic Naturals. Yes, it is a fish oil supplement, but they have a line that is a pharmecuetical grade that provides a great dose of Vitamin D that will support your body with better absorption of your calcium intake as well as regulate your immune system and increase your cardiovascular health. Check it out for yourself http://www.nordicnaturals.com/en/Products/Product_Details/154/?ProdID=1517
The AMA and FDA will tell you that you can get a strong dose of your Vitamin D from cow's milk. If you knew what I know, you might think twice about it: http://curezone.com/foods/milk.asp
One of the most dreaded consequences of cancer is when the disease metastasizes -- meaning it spreads from the primary site where it started to other parts of the body. But University of California, Riverside (UCR) scientists have announced what could be a major breakthrough in halting metastasis. They've discovered components in the juice of Indian Apples (aka Pomegranate) that inhibit the movement of cancer cells and weaken the attraction of malignant cells to a chemical signal that has been shown to promote metastasis.Specifically, the research team found that pomegranate juice seems to block the spread of prostate cancer i(in particular) cells to the bone. The group is planning additional tests to determine the effects of various doses of the natural pomegranate compounds and whether there are any side effects. Concentration of pomegranate juice was used on two types of laboratory-cultured prostate cancer cells that were resistant to the male hormone testosterone. Medical science has known for a while that when cancerous cells are resistant to testosterone, that it's an indicator those cells have a strong potential to metastasize. Not only did the research team find pomegranate juice killed many cancer tumor cells -- the pomegranate juice treatment also increased cell adhesion and decreased cell migration in those cancer cells that had not died. When the scientists analyzed the pomegranate juice to figure out which specific ingredients produced the molecular impact on cell adhesion and migration in metastatic prostate cancer cells, Dr. Martins-Green, graduate student Lei Wang and undergraduate student Jeffrey Ho discovered phenylpropanoids, hydrobenzoic acids, flavones and conjugated fatty acids."This is particularly exciting because we can now modify these naturally occurring components of the juice to improve their functions and make them more effective in preventing prostate cancer metastasis," Dr. Martins-Green said in a media statement."Because the genes and proteins involved in movement of prostate cancer cells are essentially the same as those involved in movement of other types of cancer cells, the same modified components of the juice could have a much broader impact in cancer treatment."The idea that pomegranates have an anti-cancer effect isn't new. In fact, evidence has been steadily accumulating over the past few years that along with other health benefits (such as soothing inflammation in the body (this is where Omega Fatty Acids come in handy) and potentially reducing the risk of heart disease) pomegranates have been strongly shown to prevent and/or treat cancer. For example, earlier in 2010, NaturalNews reported on a study published in the journal Cancer Prevention Research showing that phytochemicals known as ellagitannins found in pomegranate fruit could prevent the development of hormone-dependent breast cancer and halt the growth of estrogen-driven tumors.In addition, in a 2006 study of prostate cancer patients who drank eight ounces of pomegranate juice every day, UCLA researchers found a decline in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels that suggested a potential slowing of cancer progression. More recently, the results of a long-term study published in the Journal of Urology concluded pomegranate juice may effectively slow the progression of prostate cancer, even when regular treatment has failed.However, despite all the science showing pomegranate juice could have anti-cancer effects, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has come down hard on claims about those potential benefits. In Sept. 2010, the FTC filed a lawsuit against Pom Wonderful, the natural foods company that provided the pomegranate juice for the UCLA research and has supported other research on pomegranate juice, charging the company's claims about the juice's health benefits were misleading.
Gardasil , the human papillomavirus vaccine approved in 2006 to prevent cervical cancer got the green light Wednesday by the Food and Drug Administration for use in preventing anal cancer and other precancerous lesions caused by the virus.
Nothing about the FDA or AMA even remotely surprise me anymore. So now Gardasil has been approved for anal cancer? Seriously? With all of the numerous reports of girls and young women that have experienced adverse affects from this drug, they still find it necessary to go even a step further.
If you pay close attention to the demographic of the which the advertising is positioned you will notice that it is intended for those that are among the lower rungs of the economic ladder. Now amazingly enough, because of the economic trial we are experiencing, there are numerous people that are now on the lower rungs of the ladder, but with one teeny weeny difference. They Understand/Know Better. They have been exposed to information that can help them to make powerful decision about how they want to and need to care for their health.
This, sad to say, is just a process of elimination by genecide of the ignorant and blantenly self righteously stupid.
Until we take responsibility for our own health and well being, "they" will continue what is good for you and want is not good for you and like mindless herded sheep, you will follow.
Thre are numerous avenues of information from the Health Ranger to The Issels Foundation (for those that are dealing with advanced stages of cancer).
Ultimately people YOU are responsible for your health. Your ill choice of diet, lack of exercise and alkalizing water...oh and those sorid harbour of nasty emotions (anger / hate / jealousy / even stress) all contribute to the creation you so readily have manifested. Instead of figuring out how you got yourself into the mess your in you run to the nearest white lab coat with a stethoscope and say, "Doc, I know I screwed up my health with my mindless lifestyle, but here... you fix me."
Ok, that's my rant for the day. This has been a Mad Monolouge by Madison Carlista.
It has been a moment since we have connected. I have been on a bit of a hiatus, dibbling and dabbling in the realms of unconscious living for about 2.5 months and I have to tell you that I am paying the piper for it. OK... LESSON LEARNED.... AGAIN!
Coming back however, I have discovered quite a bit about myself, hence the retitle of my blog page. There is still much to share about my journey of how I overcame cervical cancer, and much of it has to do with my personal development.
It is my belief that cancer is a dis-ease of emotion (e-motion / energy - in motion) and it is through my authentic journey that I want to share this.
Ok... I gotta run now, but I will be back at 'cha. Same time, same station. Until then, enjoy your day and...
I will see you on the other side of greatness!
I know it has been a while since I have posted anything here. I just got caught up in a moment of some unconscious living for about 2.5 months. It was fun for a moment, but I have to tell you that I am paying the piper for my decision(s).
One thing I have come to learn over this bit of time is that sometimes, love really isn't enough, at least when it comes to making a decision to create a life with someone. This is another blog... we'll get to that at a later date.
One thing is that I am revamping my blog(s). There is so much I want to express / share. More than just wellness / health information on cervical cancer. I believe that much of what I have to say can help shed a light on many facets of why to approach health and healing from a WHOLE(listic) stand point.
Well, friends... there is much to share and as time goes on, I'm looking forward to sharing my journey with you.
DES (diethylstilbestrol) is a man-made (synthetic) form of estrogen. Now as you may remember from your high schoolbiology and anatomy class, estrogen is a female hormone.
Well, back in the day, from about 1938 to, oh about 1971, the American Medical Association thought it was the answerto a problem to help some pregnant women who had had miscarriages or premature deliveries in the past. You see, the AMAat the time assumed the miscarriages and premature deliveries was caused by low levels of estrogen in the woman's body. DES was used to “correct” this problem. It was given to about 4 million women in the United States during this time.
Hmmmm, doesn’t this story already sound all too familiar? Sorta like our modern day cervical vaccination?
When the medical industry discovered through their (after the fact) studies, that DES might not help women carry pregnancies to full term, they did something about it. They reduced the use of DES in the 1960’s. Quite thoughtful of them wouldn’t you say?
Oh, it gets better…
Later, it was learned that infants whose mothers took DES during the first 5 months of pregnancy were more likely to have problems in their reproductive systems (ie. little girls were growing up to have cervical issues). But wait....there's more!
In 1971, the Food and Drug Administration advised doctors to stop prescribing it during pregnancy. A campaign was also started to tell the public about the problems DES could cause. And doctors were urged to tell patients who may have taken the drug. However, there was no way to reach each and every one of those women that took the DES. I mean, this is a big world. People move around. That would have been such a huge undertaking for the medical industry.
Many people who were exposed to DES as a fetus still don't know it. They also may not know that the effects of DES are still being studied.
Estrogens are still prescribed for some medical reasons, including some cancers, but they are no longer used during pregnancy. Other than in a rare clinical trial, DES is no longer available in the United States for use in humans.
So MadSexy, Tell us -- who did you find out was exposed to DES?
About 5 to 10 million people were thought to be exposed to DES during pregnancy. Three groups of people were exposed:
DES mothers: women who took DES while pregnant.
DES daughters: women whose mothers took DES when pregnant with them. This exposed them to DES while they were growing in the womb. DES has been linked to clear cell adenocarcinoma, an uncommon cancer of the vagina or cervix. DES daughters are also at double risk of breast cancer.
DES sons: men whose mothers took DES when pregnant with them. This exposed them to DES while they were growing in the womb. DES sons are at increased risk of epididyal cysts.
So in other words not only are women at a challenge for this DES, men are too.

Ok, so here we go again. I try to not let other people’s issues be my issues, but this is an ongoing work in progress for me. I guess someone has to care. Why not me?
I was speaking to a lady the other day and she was explaining to me that she is diabetic with high blood pressure. Looking at her eyes I could also see a propensity for heart dis-ease and with her extended abdomen, all I could think was - CLEANSE!
As we got wrapped up in conversation she asked me what I did for a living. I told her that I’m a naturopathic wellness coach and author and then shared with her my story of overcoming advanced cervical cancer without surgery, drugs, radiation or chemotherapy. Well, as per usual, that opened up a flood of questions. She was very interested to learn about my diet.
Now I have to digress for a moment. Whenever I get someone that asks about my diet and I begin to share with them my eating habits, it almost never fails that their response is, Oh my diet is healthy too! Of course with a little probing the truth always comes to the light. My inquisitive new friend shared with me how she takes time to make sure the foods she eats do not contain sugar. Her doctor told her that it would be better for her to use artificial sweeteners in lieu of her sugar addiction and this would also help her to lose weight. I tell you… it boggles my mind. Clearly some of our medical professionals are trapped in their ignorance, or they are just really in it for the money.
What you will find in a great majority of these artificial sweeteners is this little thing call aspartame, however, this little thing packs a deadly punch! Aspartame, also known as NutraSweet® has a very interesting checkered past. The FDA had received numerous research reports of the chemical effects this drug was having on the neuropathy of the laboratory animals. The reports were highly unfavorable, yet the FDA pushed it through anyway. Mind you that aspartame is not allowed in any of our neighboring countries. Here’s a little history for you:
Aspartame is the technical name for the brand names NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, and Equal-Measure. It was discovered by accident in 1965 when James Schlatter, a chemist of G.D. Searle Company, was testing an anti-ulcer drug.Aspartame was approved for dry goods in 1981 and for carbonated beverages in 1983. It was originally approved for dry goods on July 26, 1974, but objections filed by neuroscience researcher Dr John W. Olney and Consumer attorney James Turner in August 1974 as well as investigations of G.D. Searle's research practices caused the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to put approval of aspartame on hold (December 5, 1974). In 1985, Monsanto purchased G.D. Searle and made Searle Pharmaceuticals and The NutraSweet Company separate subsidiaries.
Aspartame accounts for over 75 percent of the adverse reactions to food additives reported to the FDA. Many of these reactions are very serious including seizures and death. A few of the 90 different documented symptoms listed in the report as being caused by aspartame include: Headaches/migraines, dizziness, seizures, nausea, numbness, muscle spasms, weight gain, rashes, depression, fatigue, irritability, tachycardia, insomnia, vision problems, hearing loss, heart palpitations, breathing difficulties, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, loss of taste, tinnitus, vertigo, memory loss, and joint pain.
So it has been approved by the FDA and the doctors say, Sure take it, it’s ok, it doesn’t mean for you to give your power away [again] and just go for the first little blue pack so seductive sweetness you see.
There is a wonderful documentary I just reviewed called Sweet Misery. Check out the trailer on YouTube:
So MadSexy, why isn’t this public knowledge? Well, actually it is public knowledge. Anyone can get this information, but few will do the necessary research to find it. My grandmother use to tell say to me, Baby if you ever what to hide anything important, put it in plain view or put it in a book.
We have all the information we could ever want right at our finger tips, yet people for the most part are spoiled and lazy. Unless there is drama attached to it, the attitude is like, Who cares?
Aspartame caused diseases are not headlined in the metro section of your daily newspapers like last night’s American Idol winner. This is because these incidents occur one at a time in thousands of different locations across the United States. Incidents such as: Birth Defects / Cancer (Brain Cancer) / Diabetes / Emotional Disorders / Epilepsy / Seizures, just to name a few, just don’t line the pockets of the FDA and their affiliate very well. It’s better to just keep you barefoot and ignorant.
Then there are those people that have been drinking diet soda and indulging in other no-sugar, low-sugar, sugar substitute foods so long that they do not associate their symptoms with the long-term use of aspartame. This includes those that are sadly dealing with neurological disorders that have destroyed a significant number of brain cells causing chronic illness (Alzheimer’s / Dementia / Schizophrenia / etc.)
If you drink diet sodas, if you eat or drink anything with any type of artificial sweetener and you are experiencing headaches, digestive issues, dizziness, weight gain, depression, mood swings, skin breakouts, joint pain, weakness, lethargy or anything that is substandard of feeling sexy, seriously… ixnay the substitutes.
As for my diabetic friend, she informed me that she will consult with her doctor to maybe cut down her consumption of NutraSweet. She finished off our conversation my saying, “Maybe the doctor could up my insulin.”
And the beat goes on….

I posted an article on my FaceBook a couple of days ago that came from the Mercola.com website. The article of the site in bold letters: Grieving Mother Blames Gardisil. With the article I posted
THIS DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT'S PREVENTING CERVICAL CANCER TO ME:
HPV, In some cases the infection can result in genital warts, and MUCH LESS OFTEN, cervical and other genital cancers, but even the National Cancer Institute says: "It is important to note, however, that the great majority of high-risk HPV infections go away on their own and do not cause cancer."
Well, I received a very nimble reply back from one of my “friends” who is also a cancer survivor. She made sure to note on my wall that Gardisil is only used in the United States. The other countries, including Western Europe and Canada that have access to Gardisil do not use it. Instead they are choosing to shoot up their girls with a “new and improved” cervical cancer prevention med called Cevarix.
My friend twirled off with her note on my wall by saying, “As a cervical cancer patient myself, I will most certainly be having my daughter vaccinated when she is 11.”
Although I clearly understand her point, I could not help but to shake my head. Once again, we have another wonder drug on the market the promises the moon and the sky of protection for our girls and women. This junk has about as much research behind it as the other junk!
I’m sorry, but I get so frustrated when I come across people that are not willing to do the natural things that are necessary to keep and maintain their health, youth and vitality. Do you really think jabbing our daughters with a needle filled with God knows what is the answer?
Cervical cancer prevention is not in a needle, nor is it in a pill. Hell… cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, asthma, allergies, call it whatever you want, it is not a condition that just happens like rainfall. Sickness and dis-ease happens because of lifestyle. It boggles my mind to hear someone say, “No one knows what happened to ol’ So n’ So, he/she just fell ill.” No, So n’ So did not just fall ill! It takes time, consistency and commitment to lose your health. It also takes time, consistency and commitment to gain your health as well.
There is a certain diet and lifestyle that, when lived consistently will produce a certain outcome. Processed foods, fast foods, animal products, sugar and other unnatural consumptions rob the body of the energy needed to generate and express life and vitality. When we keep putting poor quality foods into our body, the result is a poor quality of health.
Food is only half the battle. The other half of the battle is all a state of mind. We become and attract what we think about.
What good will it do to shoot up our daughters and young women with these vaccinations, when we don’t provide them with the knowledge and understanding of how to care for their health? We will shovel sugar laced, fried lard carcass, canned chemicalized vegetation, cheap boxed gourmet sodium meals in our face day after day and not even think about a piece of fresh, organic anything. To top it all off, we will wash it all down with a diet soda, kool-aid or a “healthy” sweet drink.
And now let’s talk about the fact that the research on this stuff is still not complete. What is this new wonder drug going to do in over the next five, ten or fifteen years?
We really have to stop giving our power away and become responsible for our own care and wellness. Take care of your body and your body will take care of you. To help the body to deter cervical cancer... heck, any type of cancer, diabetes, or any immune disorder, work on raising the immune system!!
This is just my humble opinion.
