RE: [TruthTalk] IZZY - NEWtrition & YOU

Chris, Thanks for the additional feedback. Why do you think men have a much lower incidence of breast cancer—do they have higher levels of selenium?

I spent 20 years being "nice" through channels with a boat load of data and got nowhere.  Since going on the offensive -- including being offensive -- I have made more inroads in 2 years than the previous 20 combined.]   My piece was based upon my memory from 25 years of extensive study on selenium.  It was not one study but many that were drawn from.   Yes, Izzy et al, it COULD be that smaller breasts and less breast tissue COULD correlate to less breast cancer.  HOWEVER, the difference is about one-seventh the rate of U.S. women.  THAT MUCH of a difference?  NO!   Selenium was first noted as anti-cancerous in 1912.  There was no further follow-up for decades.   In the early 1940s a study on a pesticide noted an increase in liver tumors in mice (though primarily benign).   ONE of the ingredients in the pesticide was selenium (man made compound of course rather than as The Almighty created it to be used).   Therefore selenium was chosen at random to be the bad guy in the pesticide and declared as "possibly cancerous".   Yet in 1949 Drs. Clayton and Bauman reported that selenium reduced cancer by one-third (Cancer Research, Vol. 9, 575-582).   Still selenium remained as "possibly cancerous" ... and still gets that thrown out by the ignorant or demon-inspired.   In 1957 Dr. Klaus Schwarz at the National Institutes of Health established the essentiality of selenium as a mineral element because of its NEED IN THE LIVER!   In 1969 Drs. Shamberger and Frost reported that the higher the selenium levels in the dietary, the lower the level of breast cancer (Canadian Medical Association Journal, 100: 682).   In 1977 Dr. Schrauzer, White and Schneider reported that the breast cancer death rate in 27 contries was inversely proportional to selenium dietary intake (Bioinorganic Chemistry 7:36).   Survival rates are directly proportional to blood selenium levels.   The diminished blood levels which breast cancer requires to flourish has been known since 1970 (Journal of the National Cancer Institute 44:931).  Mainstream science and medicine have ignored this more than 30 year old data to the devastation of untold thousands of women.   "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge" (Hosea 4:6).   It is the prince and the power of the air that suppresses the life-enriching, life-saving truth about selenium through his minions in "science falsely so called".  MORE than an interesting coincidence that the Scriptural warning there is right with the part about "the love of money is the root of all evil".   Ahava b' YahShua (Love in The SAVIOUR) Baruch YHVH,   Bro.

But why don’t you provide the exact studies that allegedly prove your point? Instead, you say “Dr. So and So, who is extremely famous and you should be impressed, has said such and such which he proved in a big study.”  This is not helpful, unless you also provide references so that those of us who are interested can read the original sources.   If Japanese women have less breast cancer, could it be that they have smaller breasts, on average, than most American women (who are also more obese)? Could less breast tissue correlate to less breast cancer? What other risk factors were taken into account? Did the selenium studies compare women of the same races, sizes, ages, etc? Were they equally pre-menopausal or post-menopausal? Or was the study/studies comparing ONLY levels of selenium, and ignoring other possible factors? This is the type of thing one can determine when reading the original scientific studies.  Please kindly provide such background material for those who might like to read the details.    Izzy       ----- Original Message ----- From: ShieldsFamily To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 03/22/2004 10:41 PM Subject: RE: [TruthTalk] NEWtrition & YOU   Chris,   Perhaps your assertion about selenium is true; I’m not saying it isn’t.
