The Power of Two
The Power of Two Update - Anne Reinwald found free of cancer
 On Feb, 23,
2006 Anne's blood test found her free of any evidence of multiple myeloma.
Her oncologist discontinued Anne’s monthly aridea treatment. For
over three years aridea was her only medical treatment, the thalidomide
treatment having been stopped.
She has been using the Cancer Cure Coalition nutritional program since
the beginning of her illness and modified it as she obtained new information.
We believe this nutritional program has been a major factor in her recovery.
Her recovery is remarkable as multiple myeloma is regarded as incurable.
Please review also the Healthy Living Recommendations listed on our site
as we believe they are important to good health
Anne’s modified nutritional program is shown below:
HEALTHY LIVING RECOMMENDATIONS
By Charles Reinwald, President Of Cancer Cure Coalition
Spring 2006
We recommend moderate food portions. Food should be enjoyed and should
be consumed slowly. Slowing down your consumption helps weight
control by giving the body time to signal satiation. Meals can
also provide an occasion for social and family interaction and slowing
down eating will provide more time for this. Be careful when dining out
as restaurant food portions have reached excessive levels, almost double
in size from 15-20 years ago. Don’t be afraid to leave food on
your plate. Don’t force yourself to eat more because it’s
there.
Weight control can best be obtained by following our Healthy Living Recommendations.
For success this requires a life long commitment. We do not recommend
dieting for weight reduction. Dieting makes the body perceives you as
being deprived of food. In order to prevent starvation the body
slows down your metabolic rate. When normal eating is resumed your
weight will increase and possibly exceed the initial weight prior to
starting the diet.
HLR prevent this snap back syndrome by avoiding the drastic food reduction
used in dieting. Following the Healthy Living Recommendations will help
your body adjust your weight set point to a healthy level. Your body
will work for you and not against you.
We recommend a reduction in the consumption of meat and fatty foods,
and the consumption of four to five servings of coldwater fish per week.
Some examples of coldwater fish are sardines, salmon and mackerel. Sardines
are particularly recommended because of their calcium content. Smoked
salmon is a great breakfast meal.
Fish that contain high levels of methylmercury should be avoided. These
are generally large fish such as shark, tuna, swordfish, king mackerel
and tilefish. Pregnant women need to exercise special care. Fish oil
capsules are an alternative to fish consumption.
We also recommend daily portions of fruits and vegetables. Broccoli and
other dark green vegetables have great value. Allium vegetables such
as garlic, scallions, shallots, leeks and onions are reported to have
anti-tumor effects and to significantly reduce the risk of prostate cancer.
In that group, scallions have shown the greatest reduction in prostate
cancer risk.
Nuts and dark chocolate (for its antioxidant value) are suitable snacks.
Chocolate consumption can become addictive. Be careful to consume in
moderation.
Cola beverages are not recommended as they are deficient in vitamins
and minerals and have other deleterious qualities. A recently reported
animal study of the artificial sweetener, which is sold under the brand
names Nutra-sweet and Equal, and which is also found in many diet soft
drinks suggests that the sweetener causes cancer. This study was conducted
by medical oncologist Morando Soffritti and was reported in the March,
2006 issue of Environmental Health Perspectives. Purified water, green
tea, fruit juices and non-alcoholic beer are good alternatives.
We also recommend against consumption of french fries – not only
is it productive of weight gain but it has also been found to be linked
with an increased risk of breast cancer. This is particularly so for
usage during childhood. The long running Nurse’s Health
Studies I and II which followed 240,000 female nurses born between 1921
-1963 found an association between the consumption of french fries in
childhood and breast cancer.
Researchers found that for each serving of french fries, that A preschool
girl consumes per week, on a regular basis, her adult risk of developing
breast cancer climbed 27%. These findings were published in the 2/1/06
issue of International Journal of Cancer
Daily exercise is strongly recommended. Tai chi and walking are exercises
that can be done at almost any age. These along with light weight training
are recommended. Exercise improves strength and balance and reduces risk
of falling. Exercise also greatly benefits the cardiovascular system
and reduces the risk of heart attacks.
Stress adversely affects the immune system and, if possible, should be
reduced. High stress is associated with an increase in mortality. Stress
also can contribute to weight gain as food is often used for psychological
comfort.
Smoking is very harmful and should be avoided entirely. It has been estimated
that smoking reduces life expectancy by an average of 7 years.
The Alcoholic Beverage Recommendations
It is known that the moderate use of alcohol tends to increase longevity.
As reported in the University of California Berkeley Wellness letter
of May 2002, In most studies people who drink in moderation have the
lowest overall mortality rates, especially from heart disease - lower
than teetotalers, occasional drinkers, and heavier drinkers.
A moderate alcohol intake is usually defined as no more than one drink
per day for women and two drinks for men, on average. A standard drink
is 12 ounces of beer, 4 to 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof
liquor, which all contain about the same amount of pure alcohol. Among
these, red wines give the most benefit.
It has been recognized that alcohol decreases the risk of heart disease
and also stroke by helping prevent blockage in arteries and by keeping
blood flowing freely. A study by the Erasmus Medical Center in the Netherlands
showed that alcohol can help protect the brain from the ravages of dementia
- including Alzheimer's disease.
The center conducted research to see if drinking alcohol could also protect
the brain from dementia. The results of their study were featured in
the January 26, 2002 issue of the Lancet.
They looked at nearly 8,000 people, aged 55 and older who did not have
dementia when the study began. After six years, 197 people had developed
dementia - mostly in the form of Alzheimer's. But those who had one to
three alcoholic drinks per day were more than 40% less likely to develop
any type of dementia during this time. One to three drinks per day decreased
the chance of developing Alzheimer's disease by more than 35%.
WHAT The researchers suggested were several possibilities for alcohol's
protective effect on the brain. Alcohol seems to reduce the overall risk
for blood vessel disease, which is thought to contribute to dementia.
It can reduce the stickiness of blood clotting cells that are part of
artery-clotting cholesterol plaques. It may also improve cholesterol,
especially HDL, the good cholesterol.
Alcohol may also have direct benefit on thinking and memory by stimulating
the release of acetylcholine, a chemical involved in memory and learning.
But large amounts of alcohol have the opposite effect. Although alcohol
in moderation does seem to have health benefits, doctors are hesitant
to suggest taking it because of concern over possible addiction.
We recommend red wine as a preferred alcoholic beverage because it contains
pigments called polyphenols. Polyphenols inhibit the production of a
peptite that contributes to hardening of the arteries. These pigments
come from the skin of grapes used for red wine. In whites and rose”s,
the skins are removed before fermentation; therefore, they do not have
the same effect. These findings regarding red wine were reported in December
2001 by researchers from the London School of Medicine and Dentistry.
Previous research had found that wine contains resveratol, a compound
that may help prevent neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinsons and
Alzheimer's. Resveratol also has been found to help cells from turning
cancerous and to inhibit the spread of malignancies. It also may help
block cell inflammation, which is linked to arthritis and other diseases.
All wines contain resveratol but red wine seems to be its richest source.
Although we believe additional research is needed for definitive conclusions
on the special effects of wine, we believe sufficient evidence exists
to make red wine a preferred choice among alcoholic beverages.
But beware. It is important not to overuse alcohol, and those who have
a propensity to overuse may have to avoid it entirely.
These Healthy Living Recommendations and the protocol which follow are
intended to reduce the risk of both cancer and cardiovascular disease
and have other health benefits. We believe that following
these recommendations will reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes
and dementia. These Healthy Living Recommendations will also contribute
to weight control. The use of these recommendations will be most
successful if you use your best judgment. This Program should be
modified to fit your individual needs. Consulting an expert qualified
in nutrition is recommended.
In the preparation of these Healthy Living Recommendations and in the
Protocol, we have drawn on many sources. They include medical and scientific
studies from around the world, the work of some of the members of our
Scientific Advisory Board, and the work of many of the doctors whose
statements appear on our website. The statements contain valuable
advice and should be read. Read "SUPPORTING
STATEMENTS FROM MEDICAL AUTHORITIES” We
will continue to improve the program as new discoveries occur.
