| Mistletoe Cures Cancer of Woman in England - Natural News.com Posted: 03 Jan 2010 10:46 AM PST 
(NaturalNews) It was the season to be jolly for 53 year old Joan van Holsteijn of England. Her 2009 Christmas gift was the final cure of her cancer by Mistletoe! Actually, she was treated with an extract of mistletoe, a natural medicine first developed in 1922 for cancer by Rudolf Steiner in Europe. It is rarely used by itself today. Instead, it`s sometimes used as an adjunct to the more toxic forms of cancer treatments, especially chemotherapy. When the painful large lump on her leg was diagnosed as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in a British clinic, Joan was advised to receive chemotherapy. She confided, "I was very scared. I was scared of the cancer, and scared of chemo because you can become so ill from it." Her specialist told her that the mistletoe extract could be administered after chemotherapy sessions. But Joan opted for the mistletoe extract as the first and only treatment. "It [chemotherapy] runs down your immune system to the point where you don`t feel well. Even if you get better from the cancer you still have to deal with the treatments," she added. About Mistletoe for Cancer According to Wikipedia, Suzanne Somers, author of Knockout, also chose a mistletoe extract instead of chemotherapy for her breast cancer tumors. Surgery and radiation had not succeeded with ridding Suzanne of cancer, and her doctor's orders were for her to undergo chemotherapy. And just like Joan of England, Suzanne of Hollywood shunned chemotherapy to have mistletoe extract cure her. As The Cancer Cure Website explains: "Mistletoe extracts are marketed under several trade names ..., most of which are available in Europe. ... these extracts must be prescribed by a physician. However, most doctors in the US do not use it ... [though] it is allowed by compassionate use. Physicians ... can order [mistletoe extracts] directly from European manufacturers." Mistletoe extracts are usually injected, but they can also be taken orally if appropriate. It`s important to realize the extract is used because the leaves and berries of mistletoe are poisonous. The extract contains several cytotoxins (cell toxins) which induce tumor necrosis (tissue death) in the cancer cells while programming apoptosis (cancer cell suicide). Mistletoe extracts stimulate the immune system and increase natural killer cell activity. Chemotherapy dampens the immune system while killing healthy cells along with the cancer cells. Ironically, mistletoe extracts are sometimes used with chemotherapy to protect the DNA of healthy cells. Negative side effects are very rare, and when they do occur they are usually minor allergic reactions. However, people with heart problems or who are on MAO inhibitor antidepressants are at risk for serious reactions with mistletoe extracts.

| Technique could make breast-cancer screening less invasive: Study - Vancouver Sun Posted: 03 Jan 2010 11:14 AM PST A team of Toronto-based scientists is hoping to revolutionize how quickly breast cancer is diagnosed and treated using a technique that evaluates teeny-tiny fluid samples, thereby significantly reducing the invasiveness of conventional methods. Scientists at the University of Toronto are employing a technology called digital microfluidics — where minute droplets of fluid are manipulated electrically on the surface of a microchip — to quantify hormone samples "1,000 times smaller" than those currently analyzed. Sometimes referred to as "lab-on-a-chip" technology, the fluid samples pass through a device that can fit into the palm of a hand. Lab director and chemist Aaron Wheeler said the research team was successful in analyzing hormones in blood, serum and breast tissue samples over the two-year study period. "This is relatively new and hasn't been applied to much yet; certainly not applied to anything like what we've done here," said Wheeler. "It ends up being a perfect format for working with messy clinical samples." The idea is to translate the practice to monitor estrogen levels in fluids extracted from breast tissue using a simple needle. Higher concentrations of estrogen are found in the breast tissue of women with breast cancer than of healthy women, and is therefore believed to be linked to disease risk. But most women are not routinely screened for this because conventional procedures are so invasive. Estrogen levels in breast tissue are currently measured using a 500-milligram biopsy extracted from a piece of breast tissue about the size of a Tootsie Roll. Screened patients must undergo anesthesia and the procedure carries the risk of scarring. "Up until now, there hasn't been a good way to measure estrogen in the breast, because you needed quite a lot of breast tissue in order to extract (enough) estrogen," said Dr. Robert Casper, an endocrinologist and one of the principal investigators on the project. "Most women wouldn't volunteer to give up a chunk of their breast for an estrogen measurement." With this technique, however, Casper said all that's needed is "a drop of fluid" the size of a pinhead. "I think the clinical implications could be quite significant," he said. "We think we can actually prevent breast cancer, or at least identify people who are at high risk for breast cancer, which would allow us to take steps to reduce their risk." The technique has yet to be tested using breast-tissue fluids extracted by needle, but Casper said screening for test subjects is currently underway for that study and definite results would be ready within a year. Wheeler added it would likely take five to 10 years before initial results of the study are translated into the practice — dependent on funding — he said the technology could be used "immediately" for infertility treatment and to detect illegal doping in athletes. The research is featured as the cover story in the inaugural edition of Science Translational Medicine, a health-focused journal launched Wednesday. Five Filters featured article: Chilcot Inquiry.
