\u201cSHE\u2019LL have empowered millions of women all over world. She is sexier than ever.\u201d<\/p>\n
The quote is by one Sharon Osborne, famous celebrity, pertaining to another famous celebrity, a household name, a sex icon: Angelina Jolie.<\/p>\n
Jolie revealed in a New York Times op-ed that she had her breasts removed\u2014a mastectomy. The actress was diagnosed with the \u201cbreast cancer gene.\u201d There was up to 87 percent likelihood that Jolie would get breast cancer, said the doctors.<\/p>\n
With the risks sky-high, Jolie went under the knife for preventive measures. Jolie wrote:<\/p>\n
\u201cI wanted to write this to tell other women that the decision to have a mastectomy was not easy. But it is one I am very happy that I made. My chances of developing breast cancer have dropped from 87 percent to under 5 percent. I can tell my children that they don\u2019t need to fear they will lose me to breast cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n
Following the revelation, Hollywood, the world\u2014everyone sang praises. It was a courageous decision, no doubt (no one contested that)\u2014and more so to put it out in public.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis absolutely blew my mind. Angelina Jolie speaking out about a difficult decision that will inform + empower others,\u201d said Nina Dobrev from hit teen show \u201cThe Vampire Diaries\u201d.<\/p>\n
On the other side of the equation, however, journalist Mike Adams wrote on www.naturalnews.com that Jolie was \u201cduped by cancer doctors into self mutilation for breast cancer she never had.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAngelina Jolie was lied to. She didn’t have an 87 percent risk of breast cancer in the first place. All the women reading her NYT op-ed piece are also being lied to,\u201d said Adams on his essay.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe very idea that breast cancer is a \u2018percent risk\u2019 is a complete lie. In reality, everyone has cancer micro-tumors in their bodies, including myself. Cancer is not a disease you just \u2018get\u2019 like being randomly struck by lightning. It’s something you must \u2018manage\u2019 or \u2018prevent\u2019 day by day, meal by meal, through a lifestyle choice.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cEven Jolie with her BRCA1 gene that’s linked to breast cancer can quite easily follow a dietary and lifestyle plan that suppresses BRCA1 gene expression . . . It can be done with simple foods that cost a few dollars a day. Those foods include raw citrus, resveratrol (red grapes or red wine), raw cruciferous vegetables, omega-3 oils and much more.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the rather lengthy essay, Adams concludes with the following summary:<\/p>\n
Nancy, a Filipina nurse, blogged about how her mother beat cancer without chemotherapy on nancysniche.wordpress.com:<\/p>\n
\u201cMama was 60 when she was diagnosed with breast cancer, stage IV.\u00a0 She was irradiated only twice, had no chemotherapy whatsoever, but she lived for another 27 years,\u201d Nancy wrote\u2014the surgeon had told them that \u201che couldn\u2019t give her a year, or a month.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nancy\u2019s parents were both physicians, and she herself was a nurse (\u201can Oncological Nurse-Intern at the James Ewing Hospital of the Memorial Hospital for Cancer and Allied Diseases in New York City in the mid-1960s\u201d). They knew the damage that chemo and radiation inflict on the body. Instead of taking that route, the family opted for day-by-day healthy living. They followed the advice in \u201cWorld Without Cancer: The Story of Vitamin B17\u201d by G. Edward Griffin: \u201c\u2026avoid excessive damage or stress to the body, minimize foods that pre-empt the pancreatic enzymes for their digestion, and maintain a diet rich in all minerals and vitamins\u2014especially vitamin B17.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nancy and siblings took over the family\u2019s farm to reduce their parents\u2019 workload and stress. They switch to a vegetarian lifestyle with organic fruits and vegetables (\u201cAbsolutely NO animal protein\u201d). Her mother took Amygdalin, which \u201cdestroys cancer cells without damaging other body tissues,\u201d pancreatic enzymes (with chymotrypsin, given her mother\u2019s age) to induce enzymes that \u201calso prevent and destroy cancer\u201d; and a selection of multivitamins and minerals, including Vitamin E and C. The author wrote:<\/p>\n
\u201cExcept for a benign cyst found and excised from just above her collar bone a year after her mastectomy, my mother\u2019s battle with the dreaded metastasis was quite successful.\u00a0 The crucial factor . . . was that her healthy cells had not been damaged by the two exposures to radiation.\u00a0 And because she had no chemotherapy whatsoever, Mama never experienced the rigors of nausea and vomiting, or the angst over losing her hair; best of all, she never lost her appetite.\u201d<\/p>\n
27 more years: \u201cIn her memory, and in memory of the war she won against cancer, I speak up, every chance I get, on the merits of Vit B17 and the pancreatic enzymes,\u201d the author concludes.<\/p>\n
Mastectomy, chemotherapy\u2014in the end, and whatever the case, it seems best that women are informed of more options, especially in the context of the Philippines, where top health professionals pack their bags for bigger paychecks abroad; and where mastectomy and breast reconstruction are affordable only to those with pockets as deep as a Hollywood star\u2019s.<\/p>\n
