I know that nutrition and vitamins and minerals are always a good way to combat the effects of all kinds of diseases. I would appreciate any references of some good books on the topic. Thank you all for reading this. IP: Logged Ried Registered: Jul 2001 posted 08-30-2001 11:13 PM I had leukemia and when I was going thru chemo and all that I had to stick with a low microbial diet, meaning no raw fruits and veggies (because they carry bacteria) basicaly you gotta boil or steam everything. You've also got to overcook ALL your meat if you eat any. And when it comes to fruit be sure to eat only ones with thick skins ie. oranges, bananas, grapefruit(theres' a certain type of medication that you cant eat grapefruit while your on it so check with your doctor b4) um...what else oh yeah ABSOLUTLEY NO FAST FOOD it carries waaay too much germs. uh...oh yeah when it comes to drinks you cant drink anything thats been out in the open for more than 20 minutes cause it builds bacteria. I think thats basicaly it. So its not so bad you just gotta be extra careful when it comes to preparing your foods.

    Extractions: A 10-month study published in the June issue of Cancer Causes and Control , the journal of the Harvard School of Public Health, found that children who eat more than 12 hot dogs a month whose fathers have a history of similar consumption have nine times the normal risk of leukemia. The study compared 232 leukemia patients under age 10 with a similar group of leukemia-free children. Wrote Dr. John Peters, who led the University of Southern California study team, "These findings, if correct, suggest that reduced consumption of hot dogs could reduce leukemia risks, especially in those consuming the most. Until further studies are completed and this issue becomes clearer, it may be prudent for parents to consider reducing consumption of hot dogs for themselves and their children where consumption frequencies are high." About 2,600 children a year get leukemia; 72% survive. Hot dogs may eventually be dropped from federally subsidized school lunch menus under a plan to reduce fat content by 30% announced June 7 by Agriculture Secretary Mike Espythe first major change in the menus since the program began in 1946. However, the changes won't take full effect until July 1998. The conservative news weekly Human Events recently reported that U.S. president Bill Clinton, weaned from hamburgers by heart expert Dr. Harry Ornish, has become addicted to low-fat vegetarian "Boca burgers" made from soy beans by Sun Foods of Boca Raton, Florida. Clinton and White House staff ate 1,920 of the veggie burgers in May alone.

    Extractions: Here is a wealth of studies on cancer and diet. In the first major scientific study of the macrobiotic approach to cancer, researchers at Tulane University reported that the 1-year survival rate among patients with pancreatic cancer was significantly higher among those who modified their diet than among those who did not (17 months versus 6 months). The one-year survival rate was 54.2 percent in the macrobiotic patients versus 10.0 percent in the controls. All comparisons were statistically significant. For patients with metastatic prostate cancer, a case control study demonstrated that those who ate macrobiotically lived longer (177 months compared to 91 months) and enjoyed an improved quality of life. The researchers concluded that the macrobiotic approach may be an effective adjunctive treatment to conventional treatment or in primary management of cancers with a nutritional association. "This exploratory analysis suggests that a strict macrobiotic diet is more likely to be effective in the long-term management of cancer than are diets that provide a variety of other foods," the study concluded.

    Extractions: The Doug Blampied Story The summer of 1982 was a typical one for Doug Blampied, an insurance executive from Concord, N.H. There was only a slight hint of being a bit more tired and run down than usual. Doug's end of summer plans were capped off with a sailing trip around Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard with his wife, Nancy. The trip was enjoyable, and Doug felt rested and refreshed. When he returned home, however, he couldn't quite get his energy level back. Coming down with what he thought was a flu or virus, he went on with work as usual. But his fever wouldn't go down, so he finally decided to see a doctor. After a routine checkup, he got dressed and returned home to bed. Six hours later the phone rang. It was the doctor's office, and the message was urgent - get to the hospital immediately! With questions and fears racing through their minds, Doug and Nancy quickly packed and headed for the hospital, where a battery of tests was performed, including a painful bone marrow extraction. The tests showed that Doug had acute myologenous leukemia. Cancer of the spinal fluid was also discovered. Soon afterward, he started chemotherapy. A Hickman catheter was implanted into his chest. It consisted of a plastic tube that was inserted into a vein leading to the heart. It allowed the chemotherapy to be administered and blood to be withdrawn without repeated injections.

    Extractions: Black tea and cancer - The epidemiological evidence for a cancer preventive action of tea is largely negative, although experimental work done in animals has clearly shown that the polyphenols and other components of tea are capable of preventing cancer development. Black tea is more widely drunk than the green tea which has been the subject of most experimental work. Black tea has undergone enzymatic action which destroys some of the phenolic substances. The Netherlands Cohort Study on Diet and Cancer examined prospectively the connection between black tea consumption and cancer in 58,279 men and 62,573 women. In general, they found no evidence that tea either prevented or enhanced the development of cancer. Age- and sex-adjusted consumption of tea was inversely associated with stomach and lung cancer, but tea drinkers ate more vegetables and fruits, rendering the difference suspect. (Goldbohm, J National Cancer Institute 88 Serum micronutrients and cancer - A study of sera from 20,304 residents of Washington County, Maryland, involved deep frozen storage of serum collected in 1974, and comparison of micronutrient levels of those who subsequently developed ovarian cancer with matched controls. Higher serum alpha-tocopherol was associated with increased risk of ovarian cancer, but this relationship was diminished after correction was made for cholesterol levels, higher levels (above 200 mg/dL) of which were correlated with increased risk of ovarian cancer. Serum selenium was associated with decreased risk of ovarian cancer, and no association was observed for carotenoids and retinol. This study, although interesting, did little to clarify the confused state of studies in this area. (Helzlsouer

    Extractions: Leukemias effect about 9 in 100,000 people each year, and account for about 2% of all cancers. Approximately 27,500 new cases in adults and 2,500 in children are diagnosed annually in the United States, and the disease causes about 15,900 deaths a year. Males are affected twice as frequently as females. The overall five-year survival rate is 14 per cent. Chronic leukemia comprises 50% in all cases of leukemia. Chronic leukemia develops slowly, and signs similar to those of the acute forms of the disease may not appear for years. Involved marrow may range in color from muddy red-brown to pale gray, and changes are usually first evident in the vertebrae, ribs, sternum and pelvis. Chronic myelocytic leukemia, also known as chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), may occur at any age in either sex; it is uncommon before 10 years of age, but occurs most often at the median age of 45. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), is a disease of the elderly, with 90% of cases occurring after age 50 and a median age at presentation of 65. A prognostically useful staging system has been developed as follows: stage 0, lymphocytosis only; stage 1, lymphocytosis plus lymphadenopathy; stage 2, organomegaly; stage 3, anemia; stage 4, thrombocytopenia.

Over 200 studies in the epidemiological literature have been reviewed by Gladys Block and others and show, with great consistency, an association between low consumption of fruits and vegetables and the incidence of cancer ( Prof. Block has shown that the quarter of the population with the lowest dietary intake of fruits and vegetables has roughly twice the cancer rate for most types of cancer (lung, larynx, oral cavity, esophagus, stomach, colon and rectum, bladder, pancreas, cervix, and ovary ( )) when compared to the quarter with the highest intake (Fig. 1).

    Extractions: Gene polymorphisms and translocations alter risk of adult acute lymphocytic leukemia and childhood acute myeloid leukemia Although the clinical and pathological aspects of leukemia are well known, little is understood about the genes that influence susceptibility to this complex disease. Certain gene polymorphisms, altered forms of genes that differ by a single nucleotide base-pair, have been shown to alter the risk of development of leukemia and these variations can interact with diet, other environmental exposures, and individual immune function to be major determinants of susceptibility. Building on previous research which characterized the chromosomal damage induced by benzene and butadiene, two ubiquitous compounds found in a host of products including gasoline, paint, and solvents, NIEHS-supported researchers at the University of California at Berkeley are now focusing on the specific molecular events leading to the development of leukemia in response to environmental exposures and subsequent genetic alterations. These researchers have previously reported polymorphisms in a folate metabolizing gene as a factor for decreased risk of adult acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL). The research hypothesis is that the protective effect is due to an increase in the flux of folate compounds available for DNA synthesis and subsequent reductions of uracil in the DNA. Accumulation of uracil in DNA and its subsequent removal during excision repair processes can result in DNA double strand breaks which are necessary for chromosomal translocations and deletions.

    Extractions: Cancer is the uncontrolled reproduction of cells in the body. The cells may form a hard lump or tumor and may spread into many areas of the body. The exact reason why the cells do this is unknown. It is not understood why the cells are not receptive to the normal signal to stop reproducing. Cancer strikes one in three Americans and traditional medicine attacks this disease with surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. Alternative treatments are also being recommended, yet few Americans take advantage of them. Some Cancer causing factors include: cigarette smoke free radicals environmental factors (especially pesticides) over exposure to the sun's radiation and radiation stress some viruses speculation about parasits and abnormal growth in ONCOGENES - genes found in every human cell that have the ability to transform a normal cell into a cancerous cell.

    Extractions: TOP Slide 2: Why should we think about the diet? You shouldn't be really too surprised that the diet is an area to look at. This is the causes of cancer death, the famous Doll and Pitot chart, with smoking responsible for about one-third of all cancers and this large green one here is diet, with poor diet being responsible also for about one-third of all cancers. So if you look at what may cause MDS, it is tobacco, alcohol and diet as the main factors with perhaps infection and viral agents also playing some sort of promotional role. TOP Slide 3: TOP Slide 4: A little bit about benzene and that is that benzene is metabolized to its two primary metabolites, phenol and hydroquinone and the pathway that appears to be important for benzene toxicity and leukemia induction is the transport of hydroquinone to the bone marrow, its activation to a quinone producing genetic damage and toxicity. Your main protection against this toxicity appears to be an enzyme called NQO1 or NADPH quinone oxidoreductase. TOP Slide 5: Together with Nat Rothman of the National Cancer Institute and colleagues in China, we showed that susceptibility to benzene hematotoxicity was related to a polymorphism in this enzyme NADPH quinone oxidoreductase or NQO1 and that people who lacked the activity of this enzyme were twofold to threefold more at risk of getting benzene toxicity than controls or people who had the normal levels of the enzyme. This suggested to us that maybe NQO1 is important in other forms of leukemia and hematotoxicity and

Leukemia According to the National Cancer Institute, about one-third of all cancer deaths are related to malnutrition. For cancer patients, optimal nutrition is important. Cancer can deplete your body's nutrients and cause weight loss. Cancer and cancer treatment can also have a negative effect on your appetite, and your body's ability to digest foods. These factors may leave you in a vulnerable condition - high nutrient need, and low nutrient intake. At Cancer Treatment Centers of America, we believe that nutrition plays an important role in the treatment of cancer. That's why each patient who comes to us for help receives a nutrition assessment and an individualized plan designed to prevent malnutrition, reduce side effects and enhance his or her overall well being. Our Mission The CTCA nutrition program provides quality care for you through assessment, education, supplementation and support. This mission is achieved through the assessment of your risk for malnutrition, and the implementation of an individualized nutrition plan.

    Extractions: PDF Version Risks for, and Causes of, Leukemia It's only human to wonder what causes disease. After a diagnosis, you may ask, "How in the world could this have happened? What caused me to get leukemia?" Nobody knows. There are many theories and ideas being promulgated about what causes leukemia, but there are no hard and fast answers out there that we can point to and say, "This is what caused the leukemia." Who is at risk for leukemia In 1993 about 10 Americans per 100,000 were newly diagnosed with leukemia. It is heartening that incidence rates of all leukemias dropped by 5.3 percent from 1973 to 1993. This drop was seen across genders and ethnic groups. Similarly, mortality rates dropped 6.2 percent during the same period. More effective methods for diagnosis and a much wider variety of treatment options have made this possible. Better understanding of possible causes and areas of concern also affected the statistics. Although percentages have dropped, as the population has grown the number of people affected has risen slightly in the past few years. In 1999, an estimated 27,900 adults were diagnosed with leukemia. That's up from 23,100 in 1995, when 16,800 males and 13,400 females were diagnosed. According to 1999 statistics, AML has become the largest adult leukemia type, overtaking chronic lymphocytic leukemia in the numbers by about 2,300 individuals. More common use of blood tests has made early detection of these diseases easier and more efficient. To put the numbers in some perspective, in 1999 in the United States of America alone, about 1,221,800 new cases of all kinds of cancer are expected to be diagnosed, yet graphs of new leukemia diagnoses have remained pretty flat for the last five to eight years.
