And Part II
Stem cells are a reservoir of cells that the organ calls upon for regeneration when needed. Stem cells go into action by the stimulus of estrogen. It's a steroid hormone, meaning it's made from cholesterol, an essential nutrient. 22 estrogens have been identified. Do they cause cancer or not? Estrogen stimulates cells to divide. This scares oncologists. During the 1960s and 1970s, estrogen was used to treat cancer. Estrogen keeps women's bones strong. Estrogen causes cells to divide but it also causes cells to mature, to differentiate into mature, specifically functioning cells. When stems cells do mature, they lose their capacity to divide. So when organs need to regenerate themselves, those cells don't come from any remaining mature cells of the organ but they come from a nest of stem cells--these undifferentiated cells that are primitive and indistinct. And under certain signals, like estrogen in the endometrium lining, they start developing rapidly but under the influence of estrogen, they mature very quickly. This is why it takes only a couple of weeks for a woman's endometrium lining to replace itself. So there's a safety catch with the use of estrogen. Causes stem cells to rapidly divide and reach maturity, and the minute they reach maturity the cells lose their capacity to divide. Interesting.
Estrogen is proliferative. Progesterone prepares those cells to receive a fertilized embryo. There are really only two days in a month where a woman's uterus is capable of holding onto an embryo.
Embryonic stem cells refer to those first 8 cells of the embryo just arriving in the uterus. Each of these cells can form an entire organism. The trophoblast of the mulberry embryo eventually becomes the placenta. The placenta is that layer that attaches to the mother's uterus from which the embryo receives all of its nutrients, oxygen, and so forth. Implanting into the uterine wall is not a simple thing. The details of how the embryo implants itself into the endometrium in the first 20 minutes of his talk is astounding. Life at the chemical level. Fascinating.
"Without our consent, we are exposed to over 95,000 untested chemicals."
"The world's leading chemical companies develop most of the world's cancer treatments."
"We use studies in rodents to create drugs to treat cancers. How can we not use studies in rodents to identify things that cause it? It doesn’t make sense." Dr. Devra Davis, Ph.D., MPH, author of The Secret Historyof the War on Cancer, 2009.
Here is a short review of Davis' book.
Unsurprisingly, tobacco figures big in Davis's story. She touts German physician Franz H. Müller's 1939 case-control study of lung cancer and smoking (previously described in Robert Proctor's The Nazi War on Cancer, 1997, (2)) as “the first irrefutable modern proof that smoking causes lung cancer in humans” (1, p. 61). This work was largely ignored by American and British researchers conducting their own case-control studies 10 years later. Davis faults these latecomers with failing to immediately denounce cigarettes, whereas Müller had definitively declared tobacco to be “the single most important cause of the rising incidence of lung cancer” (1, p. 53).
The director's name is identified here,
There are a number of factual and historical errors in the book that detract from its force. For example, Davis devotes a page to describing [the outspoken advocate for euthanasia] Clarence C. Little’s tenure as ‘‘the first Director of the fledgling National Cancer Institute’’ (1, pp. 120–121). In fact, he never held this post, although he did serve as one of six original members of the National Advisory Cancer Council. She claims that the Council for Tobacco Research gave money ‘‘directly’’ to Wilhelm Hueper and Tom Mancuso to study the environmental and occupational causes of cancer. However, the document she cites for this makes it clear that funds were given to Mancuso but not to Hueper (1, p. 153). She has both R. A. Fisher and Nathan Mantel working ‘‘directly’’ for the tobacco industry in 1967; this is unlikely as Fisher died in 1962 and M
ReichHealth Führer Leonardo Conti, the leading anti-tobacco campaigner of the Third Reich, committed suicide after the war, while awaiting his execution for another leadership role he took up during the Third Reich, the murder of intellectually and otherwise disabled people—euphemistically described as the “euthanasia campaign”.
The Anti-Smoking Campaign in Nazi Germany
The 1933–1945 anti-tobacco campaigns in Nazi Germany have been widely publicized, although stronger laws than tyhose passed in Germany were passed in some American states, the UK, and elsewhere between 1890 and 11930. After 1941, anti-tobacco campaigns were restricted by the Nazi government.
Here is the trailer.
The world’s leading chemical companies now develop genetically modified foods.
The 8 largest genetically modified crop companies in the world are also the 8 largest pharmaceutical companies in the world . . . are also the largest pesticide producers in the world.
I’m not against it. I think the only way to feed 5 billion people is to genetically modify food.
I think it’s not healthy. It’s not natural. And I think you have to eat food the way Mother Nature gave you, the way it came out of the soil.
Do genetically modified foods cause cancer?
Farmer: I have no evidence it’s effecting anyone locally, health-wise, or any other way.
If somebody could prove that GMOs are dangerous,
No long-term health studies on genetically modified foods have been conducted, 2009
I think most of the companies and their scientists working for them, obviously, it is in their interest to say that it is absolutely safe because they are having a lot of products these days that they flock onto us.
Can you imagine? The largest company in the world, which sells most GM seeds in the world who goes to court to prevent disclosing the blood test results of rats who had eaten their G.M.O.s for only 3 months. It’s crazy.
We need to have a full airing of the hypocrisy involved in the companies who make a fortune selling things that cause cancer, and then profiting at the other end from treating the disease.
Are we being used as guinea pigs?
