Toxic in Plastics That Can Caused Cancer



Eating plasticisers? That means eating foods which contains toxic chemicals from plastic containers or plastic wrappers. Ever get the feeling that your cheese tastes a bit like plastic? There might be a good reason. Chemicals in the plastic wrap used to wrap the cheese could have migrated into the cheese. cling film, the wrapper used to pack the cheese, can have plasticisers-toxic chemical additives that give the wrap its 'stretch and cling' quality-in it. Test done at least at 4 countries-Britain, Australia, New Zealand and Taiwan, in recent years have found that plasticisers can leach into a wide range of foods like cheese, cakes and baked goods, instant noodles and supermarket meats from plastic packaging materials.
In September 1996, Taiwan's Consumer's Association reported that their tests show styrofoam containers used for instant noodles leach styrene-touted as cancer-causing agent-when boiling water was poured into them. In their tests, almost 80% of the noodles tested had styrene above 400 parts per-million. In addition to eating toxic plasticisers from plastics, you could also be eating plastic ingredients too!

Carsinogenic (cancer-caused) toxic plasticisers* found in:

  • instant noodles
  • infant formula
  • fresh chicken
  • beef
  • lamb
  • pork
  • cheese/cheesecakes
  • cakes
  • sandwiches
  • cooked savouries (meat, pies, etc)
  • bread
  • spare ribs
  • triot
  • confectioneries
  • pies
  • biscuits
  • bacon
  • pizza
  • swiss rolls
  • and other food
*According to tests conducted by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food in the UK, and by Concumers' Associations in Australia, New Zealand and Taiwan

Understanding the cause of Cancer

hile cancer has many causes, the medical community feels that poor immunity is an important factor. Strengthening immunity is therefore a key approach to preventing and fighting cancer.

What is the link between cancer and the immune system? The immune response has been suppressed in many cancer patients, and they do not response to the skin immunity test. This kind of immune suppression may occur in the early stages of cancer, but is most evident in the final stage. In general, there is a higher incidence of cancer in persons with deficient or suppressed immune systems, and in organ transplant patients whose immune systems have been purposely suppressed. Some people therefore feel that abnormal cells are continuously produced by the body, but are ordinarily eliminated by a so-called "immunological surveillance" mechanism. And when this mechanism malfunctions, the abnormal cells are likely to change into cancer cells.

Tumor cells arise from body cells that have mutated and whose growth is no longer under control. The growth of normal cells is subject to certain restrictions. For instance, the mutual contact between cells inhibits their growth. But since the molecular structure of tumor cells' cell membranes has changed, they are no longer subject to inhibition. They cannot be discovered by the immunological surveillance system, and cancer therefore occurs.

There is currently no 100% effective method of treating cancer. Apart from electrotherapy, chemotherapy, and surgery, the best method of preventing and treating cancer is to strengthen immunity.

Using Lingzhi to treat cancer






The immune modulating effect doesn't seem to be only at the endocrine level. There's plenty of evidence for its effective use on Cancer. In fact, it is an officially listed substance to be used on Cancer, recognised by the Japanese government. Its special area of use is to overcome side-effects of Western chemotherapy and radiation therapy. In comparison to its other properties, Lingzhi has received by far most attention as a source of antitumor activities. This action is due to immunostimulating 'polysaccharides', particularly those known as Beta-glucans. Before we look into the work that's gone on with Lingzhi and these complex sugars, it's important to have a perspective of the topic at hand. Some background information on the search for immunostimulants and their use is medicine will go a long way in explaining the potential of Linzhi against Cancer.

Breast Cancer - Visually

Breast cancer is the most common cancer and the number one cause of death amongst women worldwide. Cancer of the breast is the result of an uncontrolled growth of cell within the breast tissue. If not detected and treated promptly, breast cancer can spread to the lymph glands and to the other parts of the body such as the bones, lungs and liver. The exact cause of breast cancer is not known. Any women aged 20 and above is at risk of getting breast cancer. The following factors may increase a women's risk of developing breast cancer:
  • Increasing age
  • Family history of breast cancer
  • Early onset of menstruation (before age 12) or late menopause (after age 50)
  • Childless or giving birth to first child after age 30
  • Diet high in animal fats

Breast cancer, a common cancer in women, is a disease in which cancer(malignant) cells are found in the tissues of the breast.










Neglected, very large, breast cancer of the usual type (infiltrating ductal carcinoma). This is a mastectomy specimen.

Is Curing Cancer Possible?



It is Not, as far as the modern medication are concerned. But the sad thing is, almost all the doctors out there verified the whole world that cancer and especially the so called deadly one like Leukemia, Lymphoma, Liver Cancer and Mesothelioma cannot be cure at all. So, what they can do is only to try reduce the pain of the patient, physically and mentally. In this blog, I want to tell the world that it is Possible because God will not send down disease without sending down the cure as well. It's just up to Man to search for it, dig it and use it and then, express grattitute. Let us stick to this concept for a while even though some might not believe it. But you will believe if you were me. I have seen it, and touched it and feel the pain and have seen how it then recovered, completely - with the touch of nature by God permission.

It's in this one particular herbs lies the cure for Cancer. Most of the Cancer patients who was skeptical at first has turn up to be a believer and mesmerized with the efficacy of this elixir. Many Western doctors are to proud to accept this even though it has been proven to not only prevent but can kill all those cancer cell that invade the patient's body, provided you know how to consume it and how much to consume.
This herbs is a type of mushroom and it is called in many names - Lingzhi (in Chinese) or Reishi (in Japanese). The scientific name for it is Ganoderma Lucidum

Linzhi, Cancer's Toughest Opponents


Lingzhi is a prominent pharmaceutical plant with majestic healing properties. Numerous scientific experiments, in this modern edge, prove that it can efficaciously suppress the chronic disease even the Cancer. A lot of people consider Lingzhi is an unsurpassed nutrient. But it is not a nutrient based herbs and it does not cure you, your body does. According to expert, Lingzhi can genuinely enhance the human immunity and can re-generate the T-cells, Macrophages and the Natural Killer cells to detect, kills and get rid of intruders. In other words, it actually help your body to help itself. So, its a Natural Therapy way of healing. It is totally different from western medication whereby outside substances is use to get rid of the intruder by using chemicals or radiation which is harmful. I have encountered and helped more than 25 people around me who had cancer and has improved after taking this mushrooms. There are all my relatives, friends and also my relative's friends from Malaysia, Indonesia Singapore and Thailand. They also shows the same Vertigo effect or healing/detoxification effects after taking Lingzhi.
There are a lot of varieties of Lingzhi. Different Linzhi contains different percentages of varied ingredients. It is impossible for all ingredients, which are found in certain types of Linzhi, to nourish the human bodies and provide therapeutic effect. Different manufacturers are boasting that their respective products are efficacious. It is difficult for the consumers to verify the qualities of different Lingzhi. Thus, associate Professor Su Ching Hua of microbe Immunology, Taipei Medical College Taiwan, says that it is adviseable to formulate an authentication standard for the examination of Lingzhi. If an objective standards has been set up, the genuine identity of Lingzhi can emerged.
Associate Professor Su Ching Hua has done research work on this herbs for the past twenty years. At the initial stage, he was curious about the characteristic of Linzhi. He was skeptical about the miraculous effects. Numerous legendary stories regarding the therapeutic effects of Lingzhi which has the bitterness, have been circulated among the people since ancient time. Thus, he set a target of discovering the different substances of different sorts of Lingzhi. Hitherto, he has done research on 65 types of Lingzhi. According to the preliminary analysis, the above mentioned types of Lingzhi can be classified into 18 categories.
Professor Su Emphasizes that he discovered the ingredient of Lingzhi have positive effects upon health after he have done experiments upon animals. He found no negative effects. From his past experience, Lingzhi contains ganoderic acid B and C2 which are beneficial to the function of Liver.
Triterpenes (bitterness) is also one of the main ingredients of Lingzhi. It can suppress the severe allergy and promote the function of liver. His experiments proved that Lingzhi rectifies abnormal phenomena on the cells, which are adjacent to the poisoned liver. After the treatment of triterpenes from Lingzhi is given, the abnormal phenomena of cells are improved. such improvement shows that triterpenes can protect the proper functioning of liver.
He also says that the 'security guard cells' of human bodies, sometimes, are not aware the invention of the harmfull germs into the human bodies. The polysaccharides of Lingzhi can arouse the attention of the 'security guard cells' to patrol inside the human bodies. The 'security guard cells' will exterminate the harmful intruder when the former meet the latter. He also says that. For the case of acute diseases and Cancer, the patient need to take quite a high dosage of this herbs together with Vitamin C and Pollen as advised by him

Beam Delivery Verification for Modulated Electron Radiation Therapy Treatment of Breast Cancer - a report from STANFORD UNIV CA

Abstract: We have analyzed the delivery of a novel form of radiation therapy for the treatment of breast cancer: modulated electron beam radiation therapy (MERT). The perturbations introduced by a realistic collimator system have been assessed using Monte Carlo radiation transport simulations. The changes in the electron and photon fluence have been quantified and found to be non-trivial. In particular the electron beam penumbras may be changed by interaction with the electron multileaf collimator, and photon contamination contributes significantly to the total energy fluence. An optimization system for correcting for these perturbations has been developed and reported. We propose a two stage optimization, in which the first stage selects leaf positions, while the second stage sets segment weights. This system satisfies two key requirements: the treatment plan is optimized with the inclusion of knowledge of realistic delivery effects, and the computed fluence is an accurate representation of the delivered fluence. The accuracy of the computed fluence model is necessary for any beam verification system for MERT.

This is used to deliver electron radiation therapy to cancer patients. The shape of the patient's tumor determines the irregular shape of the opening on the right side. The block with the opening is custom made for each patient; it is made of a lead alloy.

The cause of Cancer1 - Radiation

When the truth comes out, it seems as if we already knew it. Yet, radiation is hardly ever mentioned as a cause of cancer. "It's the elephant in the room," Nancy Evans, one of the authors of the report acknowledges. "It's not talked about."

The report, based on experimental, body burden and epidemiological studies, summarizes the evidence of multiple environmental factors, and finds the evidence that radiation causes breast cancer, as "indisputable."

The female breast is two to three times more sensitive to radiation than any other organ. Yet, highly reputed authorities like the American Cancer Society and the National Cancer Institute downplay any environmental connection, especially radiation, focusing instead on "risk factors" within the woman's control.

Her condition, it seems, is her fault. It's her genes, her hormones, her lifestyle, her lack of children or late mothering, her insufficient exercise, her diet.

The fact however, is that risk factors don't explain all breast cancers. "Even when all known risk factors and characteristics including family history and genetics are aggregated, as many as 50 per cent of breast cancer cases remain unexplained," the report states.

Both radiation and chemical toxins are implicated, but while some are "initiators" of cancer, and others are "promoters," radiation is both. That means it facilitates cancer easily. Yet only two pages in the 78-page report are about radiation, mainly from X-rays and other medical treatments.
