People Against Cancer

Lastly, it should also be mentioned that the organization People Against Cancer (Otho, lA at 515-972-4444) has for many years sponsored overseas trips to German clinics. 

As for overseas and Mexican alternative clinics and their treatment successes against cancer, this kind of information remains mostly in limbo, altliough fueled in one way or another by rumor and hearsay. (A possibility also is People Against Cancer, Otho, Iowa, for setting up treatments in Germany.) It may be presumed that...

ACE drinks, containing beta-carotene (vitamin A precursor) and vitamins C and E. These materials are antioxidants and there is evidence that eliminating free radicals in the body will protect against cancer and cardiovascular diseases, particularly in older people. Suggested levels to... 

Because of its taste, its aroma and its texture, eating chocolate is a hedonistic experience for many people, one, which cheers them up. Scientifically it can be shown, that the flavonoids in cocoa are powerful antioxidants, which serve to protect against age-related diseases, e.g. of the heart, and also against cancer. 

The accident at the Three Mile Island (TMI) plant in Pennsylvania in 1979 led to many safety and environmental improvements (4—6). No harm from radiation resulted to TMI workers, to the pubHc, or to the environment (7,8), although the accident caused the loss of a 2 x 10 investment. The accident at the Chernobyl plant in the Ukraine in 1986, on the other hand, caused the deaths of 31 workers from high doses of radiation, increased the chance of cancer later in life for thousands of people, and led to radioactive contamination of large areas. This latter accident was unique to Soviet-sponsored nuclear power. The Soviet-designed Chemobyl-type reactors did not have the intrinsic protection against a mnaway power excursion that is requited in the test of the world, not was there a containment building (9—11). 

In 2004 another epidemiological study was undertaken of 459 cases of bladder cancer in New Hampshire, U S A, by the Dartmouth Medical School at Lebanon, and they were matched against 665 people who did not have the disease. This study found that men who used hair dye were less likely to suffer bladder cancer, whereas for women there was a slightly higher risk, although in both cases the observations were not statistically significant. Another survey, this time of more than half a million women, and carried out by the American Cancer Society, found no link at all between hair dyes and bladder cancer.
