Remove Causes of Brain Cancer

[Guest guest]

The emphasis on treatments for Brain Cancers, while very important, has

overshadowed

the importance of removing the contributing causes of this increasingly

prevalent disease.

Any treatment of a patient should FIRST eliminate any new exposures to

irritants that

have been shown to at least contribute to, if not absolutely cause brain

cancers beyond a

reasonable doubt.

1- Avoid aspartame, the artificial sweetener. It is known, more commonly as

Nutrasweet

or Equal. Frequently these are in diet sodas and other sugar free products.

Aspartame was

found in animal tests cause brain tumors back in the early 1970's. In fact

the FDA revoked

its earlier approval of aspartame(nutrasweet) in 1974, when these studies

were first

brought to light. Unfortunately it was later approved in 1981 and approved

for use in soft

drinks in July 1983. The subsequent increase in the incidence of brain

cancer rates

correlates exactly with the more widespread use in soft drinks.

2- Avoid using cellular or cordless telephones. Reports from Sweden, where

they have

been using cellular phones for 8 years now, have indicated that an unusually

high number

of people have come down with brain cancer and blindness in the eye near

where the cell

phone was held. Prudent avoidance should be the policy. I even recall that

at one time the

FDA even suggested that people should stand away from people using cell

phones. The

Cellular Telephone Industry Association(CTIA) set up the Wireless Technology

Research(WTR) group to avoid possible regulation by the FDA. They were

supposed to

do research on the safety issue, but in 5 years and 23.5 million dollars

appropriated by

the industry,they have not produced any biological studies.All of WTR's

clinical research

has dealt with the effect of interference with implantd cardiac

pacemakers.Everyone is

calling for more research but it never gets done.A lot of studies, usually

done in Australia

or parts of Europe have found DNA damage to the brain cells of animals

exposed to a

cellular transmitter for as little as two half hour periods a day.
