  1. Helke is at BOOTH 213 • This PowerPoint presentation will be available on www.helkeferrie.com /RESOURCES • The website version will have a detailed, annotated bibliography from PubMed-based publications including first quarter of 2013 • CONTACT helkeferrie@gmail.com • 519-927-1049

  2. Cancer Screening How Useful? Total Health April 7, 2013 Helke Ferrie Vitality Magazine and Kos Publishing

  3. Cancer Statistics 2012 • LEADING cause of death in Canada • 40% of all deaths: LUNG and COLORECTAL • DEATH RATES DECLINING (grab the salt…) • LIVER & THYROID significantly continuing to INCREASE • No change in survival since 1950s

  4. Data source: Canadian Cancer Statistics 2011

  5. ILLUSIONS • Cancer is inherited/familial/genetic • Mammography/PSA are preventive • Cancer a local problem – remove it • Cut-Burn-Poison improves survival

  6. FACT • Early detection is NOT prevention • Early detection is either diagnosis … • or false alarm not unacknowledged • often leads to unnecessary surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation • May CAUSE cancer

  7. SICKNESS INDUSTRY • CORRECT Q: What does health depend on? • CORRECT A: Optimally functioning liver Cytochrome P450 - glutathione, P 53 spell check = tumor suppressor gene • BAD SCIENCE & BAD ECONOMICS: What chemical will stop symptoms? Can this intervention be patented? Can government be made to pay ?

  8. BUT ….. !!!! • My sister’s life was saved by a mammogram … my life was saved by a PSA test & surgery! • My doctor surely must know … • Health Canada couldn’t allow harmful procedures and drugs to be sold! • “Faith is the enemy of reason.” P. Gotzsche Cochrane Collaboration

  9. P53 TUMOR SUPRESSOR GENE • Produces a protein that forces cancer cells to commit suicide = apoptosis • Robert A. Weinberg of MIT The Biology of Cancer • p53 pathway: In a normal cell p53 is inactivated by its negative regulator, mdm2. Upon DNA damage or other stresses, p53 will allow either cell repair and survival or apoptosis. How p53 makes this choice is currently unknown.

  10. CA: most p53 dependent • Esophagus, ovary, colorectal, head& neck, pancreas, lung, skin, stomach, bladder, brain, liver, breast • CA: less p53 dependent • Uterus, lymphoma, endocrine, bones, soft tissues, prostate, cervical

  11. CYTOCHROME P450 • Toxins (drugs, carcinogens, radiation) stress out the liver’s super-detoxer, glutathione • Glutathione is a tripeptide that protects every cell in our bodies from damage by free radicals and • orchestrates the elimination of anything - loose glutathione and you die • All immune function depends on P450

  12. PSA Prostate specific antigen enzyme • FDA approved 1994 - now $ 3 billion/y • 80%+ not invasive – die with it not from it • Rapid-growing prostate CA – no treatment • PSA only useful after confirmed CA surgery • At least 2/3 “diagnosis” false positive* • HIGH RISK of impotence & diapers

  13. Dr. ABLIN New York Times March 10, 2010: • “I never dreamed that my discovery [in 1970] would lead to such a profit-driven public health disaster. The medical community must confront reality and stop the inappropriate use of PSA screening [to] save billions and rescue millions of men from unnecessary, debilitating treatments”

  14. MAMMOGRAPHY • Gotzsche, Mammography: Truth, Lies and Controversy, 2012 Cochrane Collab. • S.S. Epstein, R. Bertell, B. Deaman, Dangers and Unreliability of mammography, Intern. J. Health Serv. 31 (3) 2001 • CMAJ editorial Nov. 22, 2011 “Time to stop mammography screening?”

  15. CMAJ 2011 quote: • “The main effect of screening is to produce patients with breast cancer from among healthy women who would have remained free of breast disease for the rest of their lives, had they not undergone screening… the best method we have to reduce the risk of breast cancer is to stop the screening program… if screening had been a drug, it would have been withdrawn from the market. Thus, which country will be first to stop mammography screening?” • “…. 99.75% of the women screened unlikely to benefit” from Epstein, Bertell, Seaman study 2001

  16. COLORECTAL CANCER • Warning signs: constipation, blood in stool, weight & appetite loss, nausea, vomiting, fever • Causes: 95% no genetic link – high fat diet, red meat, alcohol, obesity, smoking, lack of exercise • P53 incapacitated, oncogenesover-expressed • Surgery imperative when bowel obstructed • Screening has not improved survival

  17. COLORECTAL CA TESTS • Invasive, high radiation, high false positives even in discovered polyps • Bowel prep and “conscious sedation” can be very traumatic and cause memory loss • No better than PSA and mammography • Screening will not prolong life • Mortality unchanged since the 1950s

  18. INFLAMMATION 1 • Virchov 1863 noted puss in all CA • Inflammation 500 mill y.o. defense: all living things have inflammation enzymes, from fruit fly to us • 1986 Harold F. Dvorak/Harvard: • Cancer = “wounds that do not heal.”

  19. INFLAMMATION 2 • R. A. Weinberg revised The Biology of Cancer 2006* • Gene damage “the match that lights the fire, and inflammation is the fuel that feeds it” (S.A.2008) • On/Off inflammation switch NF-KB (nuclear factor-kappa B) are disabled & “immune police” p53 * • P53 can no longer” digest” tumors • Inflammation turns H. pylori, Hep C etc to CA

  20. INFLAMMATION 3 • Inflammation = code for proliferation = metastasis • Inflammation = enemy of surgery • Biopsies risk CA cell spread • Tissue pressure in mammograms

  21. HELPFUL TESTS • C-reactive protein- shows INFLAMMATION • Thermography -pinpoints INFLAMMATION • Hair analysis- reveals many CARCINOGENS ALL cancers require exposure to carcinogens Screening should serve inflammation identification

  22. C-REACTIVE PROTEIN • Released in response to injury, inflammation, infection = leading blood marker of inflammation • Diagnostic for both CA and HEART/STROKE • Helpful to prevent these by making life-style changes, start detox, change diet

  23. THERMOGRAPHY • Body temperature: Hippocrates 5th cent. BCE • For breast cancer since 1956 • FDA approved 1982 –as adjunctive tool • Thermograms = physiology – non-invasive 90+% accuracy and CA seen up to 10 years earlier • J. Obstetrics & Gynecology 1983 : 61% increased survival

  24. HAIR ANALYSIS • Developed by WHO – used in forensics too • Provides a profile of last 3 months of 37 toxins and mineral deficiencies in the body • Correction of mineral needs and detox permits prevention of CA, stroke, heart attack, chronic diseases • Various laboratories – naturopaths/physicians can order

  25. CAUSES OF CA • FOOD & DRUGS • Pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, food coloring, MSG, preservatives, stabilizers, “natural” flavors, fluoride, amalgams • GM foods, antibiotics, hormones • HRT, anti-depressants, cancer drugs, cholesterol drugs etc • Sources: CPS, www.responsibletechnology.org

  26. ENVIRONMENT • www.preventcancer.com • The President’s Cancer Panel Report May 2010 • Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals – 2012 by WHO UNEP IOMC, March 2013 • American Academy of Environmental Medicine & IAOMT

  27. CANCER CAUSES ARE KNOWN • CA research based on animal models • ALL cancers can be induced artificially with absolute specificity by carcinogens and/or genetic modification • ALL conventional cancer treatments derive from causing and treating artificially induced cancers in animals • CA treatments are themselves carcinogenic

  28. Dr. G. Welch, Overdiagnosed, 2011 • Peter Goetzsche, Mammography Screening, Cochrane 2012 • Alan Cassels, Seeking Sickness, 2012 • PLoS online-free • Total Wellness by Dr. Sherry Rogers • Helke Ferrie, Creative Outrage, Kos 2013

  29. CONTINUED: • D. L. Davis, The Secret History of the War on Cancer, 2007 • S. S. Epstein, National Cancer Institute and American Cancer Society: Criminal Indifference … 2011 & The Breast Cancer Prevention Program • N. Gonzalez, What Went Wrong, 2012 • G. Faguet, The War On Cancer – Anatomy of Failure, 2004

  30. CA – MAINSTREAM SUCCESS • Uterine & cervical & skin only surgery • Some breast CA – surgery only • Kidney (localized adenocarcinoma) • Some leukemias then detox & diet • Some thyroid cancers • Localized colon CA then detox & diet* Burton Goldberg & Ralph Moss

  31. CANCER TREATMENTS THAT REALLY WORK • Gerson Institute California • Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez New York • Dr. Stanislav Burzynski Texas

  32. BEWARE! • “New”, “breakthrough”, “experimental”, “expensive”* • INVITATION TO A TRIAL Q: Who pays for this? Does your doctor get a recruiting fee? Drug compared to what? • ROUTINE TEST – Q: By what guideline? Guideline members? • Research on internet: “The truth is out there!”.

  33. SUMMARY • Screening serves industry, not patients • Prevention = life style & clean world • House of Medicine has “many mansions”. • No external authority – do your own research
