A new study has hit the wires. It offers some promising news about colon cancer. And while the results are pretty preliminary, they’re still very hopeful.

The study says a South American tea can kill colon cancer cells.

The research comes from Dr. Elvira de Mejia. She’s a leading food chemistry researcher at the University of Illinois.

There’s good news from Vladimir Titorenko, PhD. The results of his brand-new study show that one naturally produced acid may kill several kinds of cancer cells.

Dr. Titorenko is a professor of biology at Concordia University in Montreal, and his research has been published in many credible journals. This new study, backed by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, was published in the journal Oncotarget.

Dr. Titorenko has good reason to believe he’s onto something big. “[This acid] doesn’t just kill individual cancer cells,” he says. “It could also prevent the entire tumor from growing.”

A new study confirms what we’ve been telling you for years: Eating starchy carbs seriously endangers your health.

The latest research is from the University of California (UC). It indicates that carbs don’t just make you fat, they significantly increase your risk of breast cancer. The findings were just released at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium.

“The results show that it’s not just overall carbohydrates,” says lead study author Jennifer Emond, “but particularly starch.”

Radiologists are finally supporting what we’ve been saying for years…that mammograms don’t often work.

One expert radiologist just told the FDA’s mammography panel that mammograms miss breast cancer in at least 40 percent of women.

“Cancers are often not visible on the mammogram,” she says. “Educating patients about the risks and limits of mammography is imperative.”

She’s not the only expert saying mammograms don’t work. Findings published in the New England Journal of Medicine show that mammograms actually help less than 2 percent of women.

New research shows one plant root holds promise in reducing the risk of colon cancer. It works by reducing certain markers that can lead to the cancer of the large intestine.

Dr. Suzanna Zick has just wrapped up a phase II study on the root. She’s a naturopathic doctor…and has her master’s in public health. Dr. Zick is member of the University of Michigan Integrative Medicine faculty. She’s a research expert…and she specializes in alternative medicine.

“(The root) has the potential to decrease (cancer precursor) levels,” she says.

A top cancer researcher has “discovered” a little pill that can half the risk of contracting certain cancers. Even better that pill has an all-natural counterpart

Sir John Burn, MD has focused his research on these kinds of cancers. He’s leads clinical genetics research at Newcastle University. And he’s served as President of the European Society of Human Genetics.

He says that past studies have shown the remedy reduces bowel and uterine cancer in people who have a hereditary chance of getting those deadly diseases. And he’s now discovered that it works for other types of cancer too.

There’s an ancient remedy that may be able to combat cancer.

It has almost a century of scientific research backing it up.

But chances are you’ve never heard of it.

That’s because the government has done everything it can to bury this all-natural formula, virtually banning the remedy and threatening to throw the “inventor” into prison!

A popular diabetic drug was recently banned in Europe. The drug was Actos…and research shows it increases your risk of bladder cancer by 40 percent.

Now a new study–taken directly from the FDA’s own data–links two other diabetic drugs to pancreatic cancer.

The two new drugs are Januvia and Byetta…and they’ve been promoted as safer than other diabetic drugs. But new research from UCLA suggests they may be just as risky

Millions of men suffer from prostate cancer. Doctors tell you it’s often caused by too much testosterone (“T”). And they’ve been telling you that since 1941…

But some experts are now saying that doesn’t add up. They say young men have lots of “T”. But their “T” levels drop as they age. So if “T” causes prostate cancer, why is the disease an older man’s problem?

An earlier study – put out in 1934 by Oxford University – had found that “T” combats prostate cancer.

What if there were one solution for both breast and prostate cancers? Emerging research shows it may be in the works.

The potential weapon against these two deadly diseases is a medicinal mushroom. It grows in the wild on mulberry trees in Korea, Japan, and China. And since ancient times it’s been considered a “miracle cure.”
