cause of death in children and
adolescents here in the United
States. {American Childhood Cancer
Organization, 2000-2013}

8.  Last year, 2012, it was estimated that 1500
Americans would die each day from cancer
related deaths.

29.  Leviticus 3:17 [It shall be] a perpetual
statute for your generations throughout all
your dwellings, that ye eat neither fat nor
blood.

30.  Reported on a recently published study
which appeared in the Archives of Internal
Medicine, and whose lead author was Dr.
Frank B. Hu, professor of medicine at
Harvard; its summarized findings:

31.  1) Eating red meat is associated with a
sharply increased risk of death from cancer
and heart disease; the more of it you eat, the
greater the risk.

32.  2) Each daily increase of three ounces of red
meat was associated with a 12% greater risk
of dying overall, including a 16% greater risk
of cardiovascular death and a 10% greater
risk of cancer death.

33.  3) The increased risks linked to processed
meat, like bacon, were even greater: 20%
greater risk of dying overall; 21% greater risk
for cardiovascular disease and 16% greater
risk for cancer.

34.  4) Previous studies have linked red meat consumption
and mortality, but this new results suggests a
surprisingly strong link!

35.  The WCRF acts as an umbrella group for
several leading international organizations,
including the American Institute for Cancer
Research, and other cancer organization in
Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, and Hong
Kong

36. The WCRF recently issued its Global
Report on diet and cancer, summarized
as follows:
 The evidence on red meat and
processed meat [as a cause for cancer]
is stronger now than in the mid –
1990s.

37.  Because of the high content of animal
fats (and calcium) in most dairy
products, milk and cheese can
contribute to the risk of different
cancers, such as colon and prostate
cancer.

38. The HSPH has formulated its guidelines
for a healthy diet and has presented it now to
the general population in the form of a
“Healthy Eating Plate”, on which meat and
dairy products are not even represented
visually.

39. The “Healthy Eating Plate” emphasizes
vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and healthy
proteins ( eg. nuts and legumes).

40. How do fiber and fat
influence cancer?

41. Bile acids
Data from Univ. of Arizona
Dept. of Cell Biology

42.  Produce free radical damage to the DNA of the cells
lining the intestinal tract.
 This irritation is now shown to to be causal in the
production of colorectal cancers.
 Hence bile acids, necessary for the absorption of fats,
must be buffered, diluted, and quickly removed from
the intestinal tract, in order to protect individuals
from intestinal tract cancers.

43. Emphatically, Yes!

44. Fiber
• Low fiber diets
72 hours to 7
days
• High fiber diets
24 to 36 hours

45. Fiber
• Shortens
exposure time
• Dilutes the
concentration

46. Milk, Cream, Butter, & Cheese

47.  Breast
 Prostate
 Testicular
 Ovarian

48.  Insulin-like Growth factor I
 High calcium content/suppressed Vit. D
 Galactose, a component of lactose – for
every glass of milk consumed, the risk for
ovarian cancer increased by 13%

49.  Viruses
 Bacteria
 Hormones
 Drugs

50. Colorectal Cancer
The Cancer Project

51.  Case-Control Study done in Argentina
showed that people consuming 1 ½ eggs per
week were nearly 5 times as likely to get
colorectal cancer as were those who
consumed < 11 eggs per year.
 WHO confirmed these findings with data
collected from 34 countries.

52.  The latest study, conducted at the Harvard School of
Public Health in Boston, investigated the role of eggs
in prostate cancer.
 In a report on their findings, the researchers revealed:
‘Men who consumed 2.5 eggs or more a week had
an 81 per cent increased risk of lethal prostate cancer
compared to men who consumed less than half an egg
a week

53.  Let the diet reform be progressive. Let the
people be taught how to prepare food
without the use of milk or butter. Tell them
that the time will soon come when there will
be no safety in using eggs, milk, cream, or
butter, because disease in animals is
increasing in proportion to the increase of
wickedness among men.. {CD 349.1}

54. Do Not
Use
Alcohol
• Liver
• Esophagus
• Pancreas

55. Alcohol related:
• 12% of all cancers

76. But What If I Have Developed Cancer?

78.  Surgery
 Radiation
 Chemotherapy
 Hormonal (breast and prostate)
 Biological (clonal antibodies)
 Bone marrow transplants

80.  The use of poisonous (cytotoxic) drugs to kill
cancer cells
 When used in patients suffering with cancer, they
certainly destroy cancer cells, but unfortunately
they may kill many good cells as well, including
those produced or housed in the bone marrow and
lymphoid tissues (RBCs, WBCs, Platelets,
Lymphocytes) some of which are responsible for
maintaining a healthy immunological defense
against infectious diseases and cancer.

81.  People need to be taught that drugs do not
cure disease. It is true that they sometimes
afford present relief, and the patient appears
to recover as the result of their use; this is
because nature has sufficient vital force to
expel the poison and to correct the
conditions that caused the disease. Health is
recovered in spite of the drug. {MH 126}

82.  The only hope of better things is in the
education of the people in right principles.
Let physicians teach the people that
restorative power is not in drugs, but in
nature. Disease is an effort of nature to free
the system from conditions that result from
a violation of the laws of health. {MH 127.1}

84.  Since they are the most potent and
poisonous of all modern medicines, aimed
at killing cancer cells, we would expect their
side effect profiles to be rather impressive,
which they certainly are.

85. Reporting from the National Cancer
Institute of the U.S. :
Anemia
Loss of appetite
Weight loss
Nausea and vomiting

 Testicular cancer
 Childhood sarcomas and lymphomas

89. Reported from Sydney, Australia
Analyzing data from RCTs, published
from Jan. 1, 1990, to Jan. 1, 2004, in both
the U.S. and Australia cancer registries
They looked at adults > 20 years of age
 22 different types of malignancies were
studied

90.  The overall contribution of chemotherapy to
5 year survival in the adults studied was
estimated to be 2.3% in Australia and 2.1%
in the U.S.

91.  Their conclusion: minimal if any
improvement in survival was noted in
treated patients despite the continuing
appearance of new chemo-therapeutic
drugs, new combinations, and bone marrow
transplants.

92. Other studies may report more
encouraging results, but
certainly we need to more
closely examine the clinical
evidence supporting
chemotherapy, since the drugs
themselves are so very toxic.

93. Hydrotherapy:
 Contrast (alternating hot and cold)
baths and/or showers; 3-5 minutes of
hot water, 1 minute of cool-cold water
 Fever therapy – submerging the patient
in a hot water bath @ 110(43 c) degrees
F. in order to raise the body
temperature to 102-103(38-39 c) degrees
for 30 min. Follow with a cool-down
shower

97. “And God shall wipe away all
tears from their eyes; and there
shall be no more death, neither
sorrow, nor crying, neither
shall there be any more pain:
for the former things are
passed away.”
Revelation 21:3,4

99.  Revelation 13:13 And he (2nd beast) doeth great
wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from
heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
 13:14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth
by [the means of] those miracles which he had power
to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that
dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to
the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did
live.

100.  Revelation 16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits
like frogs [come] out of the mouth of the dragon, and
out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of
the false prophet.
 16:14 For they are the spirits of devils,
working miracles, [which] go forth unto the kings of
the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the
battle of that great day of God Almighty.

101.  We need not be deceived. Wonderful scenes, with
which Satan will be closely connected, will soon take
place. God's Word declares that Satan will work
miracles. He will make people sick, and then will
suddenly remove from them his satanic power.
They will then be regarded as healed. These works
of apparent healing will bring Seventh-day Adventists
to the test. . . . {Mar 148.4}

102.  So closely will the counterfeit resemble the true that it
will be impossible to distinguish between them except
by the Holy Scriptures. By their testimony every
statement and every miracle must be tested. {RC
369.2}

104.  Fibroids are benign tumors that develop from the
smooth muscle layer of the uterus. The prevalence is
up to 50% of women. African American women are 2-
3X more likely to be diagnosed with fibroids.

105.  ? Genetic Factors
 Meat eating
 Increase in estrogen exposure due to: early
menarche, few pregnancies, obesity, chronic
irritation/infection from IUDs, anovulatory cycles,
endometrial hyperplasia (PCOS)
 ? Progesterone
 Xenoestrogens – from foods, BCPs,
agricultural/industrial chemicals

106.  Cancers, tumors, and all inflammatory
diseases are largely caused by meat
eating. {CD 388.1}
 From the light God has given me,
the prevalence of cancer and tumors is
largely due to gross living on dead
flesh. {CD 388.2}

110. Plant-based diet
Avoidance of: Excess sugar, alcohol,
caffeine, refined foods, junk food – all
of which may contribute to estrogen
dominance
Avoid herbicides, pesticides, industrial
chemical toxins
