“Milk is the reason!” The title of a book (found in our libraries) tells the story of a woman’s struggle with breast cancer, and lists everything she did to stop the disease’s progression. The original title of the book is: Your Life Between Your Hands, but the publishing house that translated it did well by choosing an eloquent title: Milk is the reason! The book was written by Professor Jane Plant, a geologist who had breast cancer five times in a row until doctors told her that she would not live more than three months. They eat a lot of milk products. The importance of the book lies in the fact that its writer is a scientist accustomed to scientific analysis of matters, and this is evident from her full explanation of what she went through and ways of dealing with her illness, and then her recovery from it when she completely stopped eating dairy products!! Therefore, it is important for every woman to read her book. For the sake of space, I will cite excerpts here that may prompt him to read it. Every word of it is useful:
“Through this book, I hope to achieve two goals. I want it first of all to be useful to you, the reader. I want you to find in this book a large number of information that will help you overcome it and endure the various treatments, no matter how difficult they are. Secondly, I want to provoke a debate among the scientific and medical groups themselves, for the essence of science lies in the constant questioning of facts that are considered established. Although this book deals with the issue of breast and prostate cancer from a different angle, it is nevertheless based on scientific literature that is considered references to be emulated.” (p. 11)
In general, women with cancer have to go through the following stages: surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. I had a radical operation to remove the entire breast, followed by three other operations, thirty-five sessions of radiotherapy, five x-rays of the ovaries in order to stop menstruation completely and stop the production of estrogen completely, and finally twelve sessions of chemotherapy. It is important that you understand from the onset of the disease what a heavy toll your body will pay due to the operation, anesthesia, radiation and chemicals (p. 33). “Since I began studying alternative medicine, I have noticed that many physicians who rely on natural substances in their treatments believe that they should look for the underlying cause of the disease in the diseased part of the body itself. Lung cancers, for example, result from inhaling tobacco smoke and radioactive sprays such as radium or mannitite gas, while skin cancer often appears as a result of prolonged exposure to sunlight, and cervical cancer as a result of a warty viral infection. We can therefore assume that excessive consumption of milk extracted from the mammary gland of one animal species sends false signals to the mammary glands of the woman and thus contributes to the development of breast cancer” (p. 114).
“I think what has allowed me to recover is that I have identified the possible relationship between breast cancer and milk and its derivatives, and secondly that I have developed a diet appropriate to my health and literally stick to it. I found it difficult to begin – and you probably do – to accept the idea that a “natural” substance like milk can lead to serious and harmful consequences for health. “Recent studies indicate that we can reduce the risk of developing breast cancer if we eat twice the amount of vegetables that we consume” (p. 118).
“If we compare the composition of cow’s milk and human milk, we notice many differences. Cow’s milk contains about three times more protein than human milk and more calcium, which is not without risk to the kidneys. If cow’s milk is excellent for fast-growing calves (about one kilogram per day) it does not necessarily mean that it is a food that children and adults need!” (p. 120).
“I think that consumption of milk and dairy products and beef – as well as consumption of fat-free products such as dairy – increases the risk of breast or prostate cancer in susceptible people. The tumor that spread to my lymphatic system – which is impossible to cure according to the opinion of doctors – has disappeared after a few weeks of abstaining from milk and its derivatives” (p. 130).
“With the increase in cases of mastitis (cow’s udder) and other diseases affecting the nipple of cows, some tests regularly show the presence of pus in the milk. Did you know that European Union countries allow the trade in milk intended for human consumption, provided that it does not contain more than 400,000 cells of pus per milliliter? Thus, a teaspoon of milk may contain two million cells of pus!!” (p. 128).
