The pH Miracle for Breast Cancer

Women with cancerous breats have more aggressive
dis-ease and lower survival rates if they are
overweight or obese, according to findings published
in the March 15 issue of Clinical Cancer Research,
a journal of the American Association for Cancer
Research.

“The more obese a patient is, the more aggressive
the disease,” said Massimo Cristofanilli, MD,
associate professor of medicine in the Department
of Breast Medical Oncology at The University of
Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. “We are learning
that the fat tissue may increase inflammation that
leads to more aggressive disease.”

Cristofanilli and colleagues observed 606 women
with locally advanced breast cancer. These women
were classified by body mass index into the
following three groups: normal/underweight
(24.9 or below), overweight (at least 25 but
less than 30) or obese (more than 30). Body
mass index is calculated by dividing a person’s
weight by their height.

At five years, overall survival was 56.8 percent
among obese women, 56.3 percent among overweight
women and 67.4 percent among normal weight women.
The 10-year survival rate was 42.7 percent among
obese women, 41.8 percent among overweight women
and 56.5 percent among normal weight women.

The rate of inflammatory or stage 4 acidosis in
cancerous breasts, previously shown to have worse
outcomes than non-inflammatory breast cancer,
among obese women was 45 percent compared with
30 percent in overweight women and only 15
percent in women considered normal weight,
researchers found.

Risk of cancerous or acidic breasts recurrence was
also higher in obese or overweight women. By five
years, 50.8 percent of obese women reported a
recurrence compared with 38.5 percent of normal
weight women. By 10 years, the rate of recurrence
was 58 percent among obese women and 45.4 percent
among normal weight women.

“Obesity goes far beyond just how a person looks
or any physical strain from carrying around extra
weight. Particular attention should be paid to
our overweight patients,” Cristofanilli said.

Cristofanilli said physicians need to pay close
attention to breast cancer patients because
commonly used drugs, such as tamoxifen, tend to
increase weight gain during treatment.

“We have actually become quite good at managing
acute side effects such as nausea in our
chemotherapy patients and it goes away within a
couple of days,” Cristofanilli said.

“Following the nausea, our patients tend to
overeat, which further increases their risk of
weight gain. We need to implement lifestyle
modifications interventions and develop better
methods to follow these patients closely.”

According to Dr. Robert O. Young, a research
scientist at the pH Miracle Living Center, states,
"cancerous breasts are the the result of dietary
and metabolic acids being stored in the fatty
breast tissues. The bigger the breasts the
greater the risk for cancerous breasts. The key
is to eliminate dietary and metabolic acids
through urination, perspiration, respiration
and defecation and not store them in the fatty
breast tissue. The key then to preventing
acidic cancerous breasts is to alkalize and
exercise. If you want to prevent or reverse
a cancerous condition in the body you need to
sweat and pee your way to health. Cancer is a
four letter word - ACID, and the body will
generally park this acid in the fatty tissue,
i.e., the breast tissue! By buffering and
eliminating dietary and metabolic acids
through one of the four channels of elimination
by alkalizing and exercising you can either
prevent or reverse a cancerous condition."
