BREAST CANCER verses MAMMOGRAM
.
Did you read today's news related to health?
.
It is on screening of breast for early cancer detection through mammogram.
.
You can read the story released by World Health Oraganisation's International Agencey for Research on Cancer, in today's THE STAR Online Newspaper.
http://thestar.com.my/health/story.asp?file=/2011/3/30/health/8350945&sec=health
.
It is claimed the death rate can be reduced by 35% if the women went for regular mammogram x-rays.

I have described in elaborte detail the insulting procedure of mammogram, and as how inefficient it is when it comes to breast cancer detection.
.
Please read pages 213 - 260 in my book "Cancer: Causes, Cure and Prevention".  These pages are totally devoted for information on breast cancer.
.
I have explained, with proper citations from scientific literature, obtained from international journals, the true information related to breast cancer.
.
When they say "women can be cured", to them, most of the time, if a woman can live upto 5 years after surgery, radiation or chemotherapy, it is considered 'a cure'.
.
*   *   *   *   *
.
Do you know the so-called RISK FACTORS for the development of breast cancer?
.
According to medical literature:
.
* Personal history
* Family history
* Genetics
* Menses history
* Reproductive history
* Hormone therapy
* Radiation Therapy
* Increased body weight
* Lack of exercise
* Alcohol consumption
* Breast density
* Breast biopsy changes.
.
If you read my book, you will end up laughing in comfort.
Do you know why?
.
It is because, you will then realise that most of the above-said 'risk factors' are not risk factors at all!
.
Let me copy-paste here a small but relevant part of the chapter on breast cancer, from my book on cancer:

For ease of reading, let me copy-paste only one small portion of the chapter, DAILY:

The Causes for Breast Cancer

(Merc Manuals Online 2008, Wikipedia 2008, WHO 2009)

(With my interpretations within parentheses)

• Breast cancer is considered to be the final outcome of multiple environmental and hereditary factors.

(A disease that is not a desirable quality for the betterment of life, can never be genetically transmitted to the next generation.

Only the best characteristics are chosen in the process of ‘Natural Selection’, and not the worst.

Hence, heredity cannot  be the causative factor for breast cancer. It is a clear misconception.

Talking of environmental factors, people tend to mistake  environmental pollutants, biocides, food preservatives and the like as causative factors for the development of cancers. They often label these as ‘carcinogenic’.

According to my finding (see Table-6), all these toxicants tend to poison and spoil the morphology of the blood constituents, and they give rise to psoriasis and the like, but they do not seem to have anything to do with the occurrence of cancer.

In fact, most of those that are labelled as carcinogenic (i.e., cancer causing), do not seem to be cancer causing agents at all

The above is somewhat similar to saying that salt gives high blood pressure and sugar gives type-2 diabetes, both of which are totally wrong (Palaniappan, 2008).

If at all we want to consider the influence of environmental factors in the development of tumours, then, we should include in the list only those that make a person sweat profusely, as it happens in the desert countries with hot climate[1], or in the dry environment (with very low relative humidity) in the cooler or cold countries, that severely and constantly dehydrates the body of a person.

The loss of moisture from the body makes the person under-urinate and thereby allow the accumulation of calcium within   the body, which then paves a way for the development of   lumps/ tumours and cancers..

The presence or absence of harsh sunshine too can be   blamed to some extent in supporting the formation of a lump or cancer, since the vitamin-D production has relevance to the cancer problem.)

---

[1]  In nearly all the desert countries, the incidence of cancer occurrence should be very high because of the calcium concentration due to under-urination brought about by reduced water consumption, excessive sweating, gross under-urination, and consumption of desert land foods which in themselves are very rich in their calcium contents (e.g., dates)..

The people in such countries are also bound to develop a very big-sized and tall body, because of the same set of reasons.

I will talk on other risk factors at the rate of one at a time.

Tomorrow, I will give the next one.
Why not you invite your friends to read this matter...

FACTS of LIFE-3

TOILET vs. BAD SMELL .
.
Miss EJ from Singapore has sent me an e-mail, to vmpalani@streamyx.com, asking me to explain something that has been bugging her mind since long.
.
This is her question:
.
"Dr. Palani, Could you please give me some idea as how I can prevent my toilet from smelling too bad all the time?"
.
I am glad to answer this question. . In fact, the toilets in most homes in the tropical countries tend to smell awful.
.
Let me evaluate the situation, so that ALL readers would benefit:
.
Basically, the smell is due to the microorganism BACTERIA.
.
Most microorganisms require the following FIVE conditions for luxurious growth:
.
* Moisture
* Warmth
* Protein, or its derivatives viz., Aminoacids or Ammonia or even Nitrogen.
* Darkness
* Stale air i.e., less oxygen, more carbon dioxide.
.
All the above five make up the most conducive ECOLOGICAL FACTORS, which make up the most suitable niche for bacterial living and growth.
.
 In Europe, for example, the climate is cold, often, and also the air tends to be dry: i.e., the Relative Humidity is very low.
.
The dry air will dry up the moisture.
The cold weather will not provide warmth required for bacterial growth. .
Since two of the five factors are not conducive, bacteria will not thrive well there.
.
 As a result, it may not emit odour.
That is why you do not get foul odour in cold countries and highlands.

.
Now, let us see the situation in the hot climates that prevail in the tropics: . If you keep the toilet's door closed:
.
* The moisture will not dry up.
* The moist toilet room will be warm.
* Ammonia from urine / urea will provide good basis.
* Closed door will keep the toilet in a dark state.
* The closed door will also prevent air exchange, resulting in the air being stale. .
.
All the above five factors make up excellent environment for bacterial growth.
.
Therefore, all toilets in the tropical countries with closed doors will certainly smell bad.
.
 So, what could be the remedy?
.
Well, you have no choice except to keeping your toilet door open all the time, except when it is occupied.
.
If doors are kept opened, then:
.
* The moisture will dry up quickly.
* Air flowing from outside the toilet will keep the environment cool.
* The splashed urine will dry up.
* The room will be receiving enough light that the darkness will not prevail any more.
* The stale air will be driven out, and oxygen containing fresh air will be there.
.
Thus, ALL the five ecological factors will be so bad for the existence of bacteria that they will not live there and multiply.
.
You can try keeping your toilet door opened. You will be convinced of what I have explained here.
.
 I never keep the toilet doors closed. My toilets never emit any bad odour at any time.
.
There is one more important point to consider:
.
 That has relevance to the Western toilet PRAM, where you sit over.
.
If the toilet bowl is kept closed in the Western temperate countreis, that too will not smell.
.
However, if that is closed in the tropical countries, again, it will keep on emitting very bad smell, for reasons I have already explained.
.
 Remember: Covered toilet bowl will be moist, warm, dark, and will have stale air and also ammonia, all at their maximum.
.
So, the bowl, once you open it up before use, it will blow a very strong fowl-smelling repulsive odour over your face.
.
That will be bad for your health!
.
So, dear friends, if you happen to be living in the tropical environment, please keep your toilet doors (and also the bowl cover) open.
.
Well, since I wanted to reply this e-mail, I had to delay a bit my regular write-up.
.
Possibly by this evening, I will write about the HALF LIFE subject and related dangers.
.
 Until then, bye,
.
Dr. Palani. . . .

FACTS of LIFE-2

THYROID PROBLEMS verses IODINE
.
Today’s write-up is going to be a very lengthy one.
.
However, I would persuade you to read the entire article, without jumping, for you will be well-rewarded for reading the whole story.
.
Please oblige to my request: .
.
Let me introduce the subject in a manner that can be easily understood by all.
.
The thyroid gland is in the neck. People often refer to that as “Adam’s Apple”.
.
The thyroid gland controls the following:
.
* The speed of energy usage. 
* Makes proteins. 
* Reaction of the body to other hormones. 
* It produces what is called “Calcitonin”.
.
(This calcitonin maintains the calcium balance in the blood. If too much calcium enters into the body, the calcitonin reduces it, by sending the excess into the lymph fluid, so that it can be removed from the body through urination. When people under-urinate, such calcium accumulates in the tissues, and gives rise to cell enlargement, and that can become cancer later.)
.
The thyroid gland produces thyroid hormones.
They include:
·
* Tri-iodo-thyro-nine.
* This is popularly called T3. 
* Thyroxin. This is called T4. 
.
The thyroid gland itself it activated / controlled by another hormone that is secreted by Pituitary Gland, called “THYROID STIMULATING HORMONE”
.
This is often mentioned as “TSH” in short. .
.
These T3 and T4 hormones regulate the RATE of BODY’S METABOLISM.
.
They also affect the growth and working rate of many other systems in the body.
.
Now, let us remember this: .
.
We need clay to make a pot. .
.
Similarly, IODINE + TYROSINE are used for producing T3 and T4 hormones.
.
Tyrosine is one of the Amino Acids used by the cells for making proteins.
.
Iodine is a rare element in nature.
.
Many soil types do not have enough of iodine. Iodine is one of the essential nutrients, required relatively in small quantity.
.
If adequate quantity of iodine is NOT absorbed, then, animals and people suffer from IODINE DEFICIENCY.
.
Iodine deficiency can lead to mental retardation and HYPOthyroidism.
Hypothyroidism has the following symptoms:
·
Extreme fatigue.
·
Goitre (swelling of the thyroid gland)
·
Mental slow down · Depression
·
Body weight increase, and
.
Reduction in body temperature.
.
Normally, seafood contains enough of iodine.
.
Sea salt also contains iodine.
.
If we take enough of sea salt, our body will not suffer from iodine deficiency.
.
People who do not consume seafood and sea salt may develop iodine deficiency problems.
.
Health advocates, worldwide, have been telling people NOT to consume salt to taste.
.
They recommend to cut down drastically the salt content in all their foods.
.
They say, if a person takes salt to taste, he/she will develop high blood pressure, and can die because of that.
.
well, I have proven, beyond any doubt, that the above is a wrong concept.
.
Researchers have misunderstood the whole subject matter.
.
Therefore, they have been misdirecting the public.
.
The innocent public taking less salt end up with iodine deficiency diseases. .
.
Then, the Health Consultants suggest take more iodine through artificial means. .
.
One such artificial method is adding iodine to salt. In other words, they enrich the salt.
.
If people taking LESS salt take this enriched salt, their body would get enough iodine.
.
But then, what would happen to those people who take ENOUGH of this iodine-ENRICHED salt?
.
They would end up with Iodine EXCESS. Iodine excess will give rise to some other MAJOR DISEASE!
.
HYPERthyroidism will develop.
.
BREAST tends to accumulate plenty of iodine.
.
As a result, the breast MILK will have plenty of iodine in it.
.
Nature, in this way, gives enough of iodine to the baby, so that the baby will not suffer from iodine deficiency.
.
But what happens if a pregnant woman is going to take IODISED salt to her taste, that is normal for humans?.
.
Her breast and milk would accumulate plenty of iodine, transfer it to the baby, and give the baby HYPERthyroidism.
.
This can also make the baby HYPERactive! You must have definitely come across some children excessive and uncontrollably active! .
.
However, until this day, the medical researchers do not know why a child is hyperactive. .
.
(People may soon take over my explanation, and present it as if they found it: please wait for a while, and you will see somebody releasing this as his/her discovery.)
.
The thyroid gland absorbs RADIOACTIVE Iodine and keeps it there.
.
This iodine concentration can give rise to cancer in the thyroid gland.
.
Whereas, NON-radioactive iodine - the normal one (and also the radioactive one) in greater quantity will make the thyroid gland secrete MORE of the hormones T3 and T4.
.
When the thyroid gland becomes hyperactive, it will INCREASE THE METABOLIC RATE.
.
This, as indicated earlier, will make the person HYPERactive.
.
In addition, it will increase ALL the body functions.
.
WHEN THE IODINE CONCENTRATION in the thyroid gland becomes TOO MUCH - FAR BEYOND THE TOLERANCE LIMIT, then, by right, the body should collapse, and the person must succumb to death.
.
However, the brain does not allow this to happen.
.
It rescues the body at all levels until it cannot do anymore!
.
In other words, the brain will try its best until the iodine (or anything) level goes beyond its own tolerance limit.
.
The rescue operation appears to happen in the following manner:
.
.The excessive iodine results in excessive thyroid hormone production.
If the excessive iodine uptake CANNOT BE PREVENTED, then, the brain CAN make the thyroid gland to STOP working!
.
This will then save the body from breaking down, or collapsing to death.
.
So, the brain STOPS the thyroid gland from functioning. In other words, the thyroid gland BECOMES DEAD!
.
Although the Medical Fraternity does not know until this day the details I have described above, they have termed the end result as HYPOTHYROIDITIS.
.
The above process of brain destroying the thyroid gland, is known as “Auto-Immune Disease” in the medical world.
.
When this happens, the thyroid gland cannot be activated any more.
.
From then on, the person will have to depend upon taking from external sources (as medication) the thyroxin hormone, for rest of his/her life.
.
Such a patient, I have examined clinically, does NOT develop any symptoms that are typical of other hypothyroid patients!
.
Such a condition is called, in medical terms, “A-symptomatic Hypothyroiditis”
.
* * * * * *
.
At this, we have to refer to the current situation that appears to be prevailing in Japan and countries adjacent to it.
.
People are said to be buying iodine tablets, with the idea of preventing the absorption of radioactive iodine which has been leaking out of the nuclear plant.
.
After knowing the above details, such people may want to be cautious in taking this tablets.
.
Indiscriminate consumption can result in making them develop HYPOthyroidism. 
.
If they get it, the symptom they tend to notice will include swelling of body parts, including face, thighs, and the like, feeling sleepy, lazy and lethargic, dull brain activity, etc.
.
If they get such sort of symptoms, they should consult their Endocrinologist doctor who would diagnose the problem correctly, and would prescribe Thyroxin tablets
.

.
If you wish to know the following:
.
1. Why you should NOT take iodized salt,
2. Why you should take natural sea salt, and
3. Why you should take plenty of salt without any fear of getting hypertension.
.
Please see the previously posted (in this BLOG) article, No.44, under the heading “HUMAN DISEASES: RE-DEFINED”, dated 2 April 2010.
.
I am sorry for posting such a long article.
.
Please bear with me for taking so much of your time.
.
Well, will communicate with you tomorrow with another very useful and topical subject.
.
The Press media, essential the news media in TV, has been using a term “HALF LIFE” of radioactive substances. 
.
Do you know what it is? . I think, it is very important that you know what it is all about. .
.
Do you know why? .
.
Because many people are undergoing CT Scan, MRI Scan and the like, and getting injected with Radioactive substances without knowing what they are!
.
Well, I will talk on that tomorrow. ‘
.
OK, bye,
Dr. Palani.

FACTS of LIFE

Hi, Friends,
.
How are you all?
.
It has been a long time since I communicated with you.
.
Do you know why this long silence?
.
If you guessed,
.
“All Bloggers are bound to be like this… they start with great interest, and then gradually give up! You are not an exception!”,
.
then you are WRONG!
.
Here is the truth:
.
I had to finish writing my book on cancer.
.
That required total concentration, and I had to work for about 15 hours, 7 days a week, non-stop!
.
While I am occupied in book writing, I forget the whole world!
.
All other activities come to a standstill.
.
Well, I finished writing the book of 624 pages!
.
I have brought out 2 editions: one, soft cover, and the other hard cover.
.
I am in the process of requesting our friend Mr Vasudevan of Johor Baru, Malaysia, to put up the covers of the missing books in our blog.
.
This cancer book has come out very well.
.
I have a feeling this book has every potential to become,
“THE book of the Century”.
.
I have dealt with 31 different types of cancers, and I have given the true causes for the cancers, methods to cure them, and also ways and means of preventing them.
.
Most of them are based on my own experience - I have successfully treated a few cancer patients.
.
Now the book has been sent out for sales in all big book shops in Malaysia.
.
The soft cover edition of this book was priced at RM180/- per copy,
while the hard cover, RM220/-.
.
But do you know how much it is being sold in the bookshops?
.
A mere RM60/- for the soft cover, and RM80/- for the hard cover!
.
I know I will end up with some loss, but then, as you know me well,
my intention is to make this book available to everybody.
.
Innocent people should not die of cancer anymore!
.
I only wish and pray that the World Health Organization would soon recognise the value of this book, wherein I have put in all totally NEW findings on cancer.
.
If this book is publicised properly, death due to cancer can be almost totally prevented.
.
I think, I have done my part. Let us leave the rest to God!
.
* * * * * * *
.
Well, friends,
.
From now on, I am planning to put up on this Blog an article a day, if possible.
I will be analysing the truth in day-to-day news items related to health.
.
I intend to evaluate ‘current’ issues.
.
So, you can expect something useful to you.
.
To inform all our friends, I intend to send them small e-mail messages.
You too can inform your friends about this.
.
* * * * * * *
.
Shall we analyse today one of the current issues?
.
Sad that so many innocent Japanese adults and children are suffering.
.
As a remedial measure against thyroid cancer that could occur due to absorption of radioactive iodine, people have been taking iodine tablets.
.
It appears even people in neighbouring countries have started buying such tablets.
.
Never forget the Law of Nature:
Anything in excess is dangerous.
.
Let us evaluate the truth about iodine, iodine-enriched salt, thyroid gland, etc.
.
* * * * * * *
.
In India, about five years back, the Health Minister then, who happened to be a doctor, proposed to the Indian Parliament, and brought out a Law:
.
The Law, from then on, compels every salt manufacturer in India to enrich the salt with iodine.
.
I went to India, and stayed there for a few months.
.
I tried to buy NATURAL sea salt.
.
I tried through all possible sources, including some of the pharmaceutical companies and chemists.
.
None of them could provide me with the natural, uniodised salt I wanted.
.
In the end, I had a contact in a city called Tutukudi, Tamil Nadu, wherein they make salt from seawater.
.
I managed to get 20 kgs of the salt.
.
To my shock, even this 20 kg salt was iodized!
.
You must be wondering why is it that I was so fussy to use natural salt, and not iodized salt.
.
After all, all doctors keep telling that iodine is good for the thyroid gland.
.
Again, that is why the Indian government had made it into a Law!
.
OK, let me enlighten you on the truth behind it.
.
Let us give a new heading to topics I intend to discuss from now on.
.
Let that be: “Facts of Life”?
.
* * * * * * *
.
In the meantime, if you wish to communicate with me, you may kindly send me an e-mail, and I will respond to you either through our Blog, or through a personal reply.
.

My e-mail ID: vmpalani@streamyx.com

'.
Please feel free to comment... try to make it a positive one. If found useful, I will post yours and my response in this Blog.
.
If you want me to discuss a particular topic, please do write, and I will try to respond.
.
Since today’s write-up is becoming a bit too long, shall continue with this tomorrow?
.
Right, I will do just that!
.
Well friends, see you tomorrow.
.
Dr. Palani.
