Hi Lorraine and everyone

Just wanted to wish you all a belated Happy Easter too. It is now just over a year since Tom left us and we are still struggling. Our house was badly damaged in February from an icemaker in a fridge - DO NOT EVER PURCHASE ONE OF THESE AMERICAN-STYLE FRIDGES AS THEY ARE WELL-KNOWN FOR THIS I NOW DISCOVER!  and we have to move out for six months while our house is rebuilt. Thank goodness we were insured. We are also having financial troubles, however I am sure things will improve - hopefully soon. 

I just wanted to mention a couple of things in case you missed them. I am loathe to recommend more potions and supplements because I am sure you all are spending up big on them already. However in March a report came out - I saw it in BBC Health about the cancer fighting properties of papaya leaf tea - please note these references are NOT the original report - they just refer to the findings and I don't endorse anything else on their siteshttp://www.physorg.com/news187372336.html                          http://breastcancerawarenessjewellery.com/cancer-fighting-properties-in-papaya-tea/

You can purchase an organic version of this tea from Qld - just search on the web - it costs around $20 a jar and tastes foul. 

Also, a friend of mine in the UK who was diagnosed with Stage 4 ovarian cancer about 18 months ago and told she wouldn't live 6 weeks is still going and she states that Vitamin D is very very important. See:

Breast cancer virtually "eradicated" with higher levels of vitamin D

(NaturalNews) In a gathering of vitamin D researchers recently held in Toronto, Dr. Cedric Garland delivered a blockbuster announcement: Breast cancer can be virtually "eradicated" by raising vitamin D levels.

Vitamin D is "the cure" for breast cancer that the cancer industry ridiculously claims to be searching for. The cure already exists! But the breast cancer industry simply refuses to acknowledge any "cure" that doesn't involve mammography, chemotherapy or high-profit pharmaceuticals.

Vitamin D is finally gaining some of the recognition it deserves as a miraculous anti-cancer nutrient. It is the solution for cancer prevention. It could save hundreds of thousands of lives each year in the U.S. alone. Even Dr. Andrew Weil recently raised his recommendation of vitamin D to 2,000 IU per day.

This is the vitamin that could destroy the cancer industry and save millions of women from the degrading, harmful cancer "treatments" pushed by conventional medicine. No wonder they don't want to talk about it! The cancer industry would prefer to keep women ignorant about this vitamin that could save their breasts and their lives.

Below I'm reprinting the full statement from Dr. Cedric Garland following the Vitamin D conference recently held in Toronto.

Statement from Dr. Cedric Garland

Breast cancer is a disease so directly related to vitamin D deficiency that a woman's risk of contracting the disease can be 'virtually eradicated' by elevating her vitamin D status to what vitamin D scientists consider to be natural blood levels.

That's the message vitamin D pioneer Dr. Cedric Garland delivered in Toronto Tuesday as part of the University of Toronto School of Medicine's "Diagnosis and Treatment of Vitamin D Deficiency" conference - the largest gathering of vitamin D researchers in North America this year. More than 170 researchers, public health officials and health practitioners gathered at the UT Faculty club for the landmark event.

Garland's presentation headlined a conference that reviewed many aspects of the emerging vitamin D research field - a booming discipline that has seen more than 3,000 academic papers this calendar year alone, conference organizers said. That makes vitamin D by far the most prolific topic in medicine this year, with work connecting it with risk reduction in two dozen forms of cancer, heart disease, multiple scleroses and many other disorders.

Dr. Reinhold Vieth, Associate Professor in the Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathobiology at University of Toronto, and Director of the Bone and Mineral Laboratory at Mount Sinai Hospital, organized the event in conjunction with Grassroots Health - an international vitamin D advocacy group founded by breast cancer survivor Carole Baggerly.

Baggerly implored the research group to take action and encourage Canadians to learn more about vitamin D and to raise their vitamin D levels.

An estimated 22,700 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009, according to the Canadian Cancer Society's latest figures.

As much as 97 percent of Canadians are vitamin D deficient at some point in the year, according to University of Calgary research - largely due to Canada's northerly latitudes and weak sun exposure. Sunshine is by far the most abundant source of vitamin D - called 'The Sunshine Vitamin' - with salmon and fortified milk being other sources. Vitamin D supplementation helps raise levels for many as well.

Grassroots Health's "D-action" panel - 30 of the world's leading researchers on vitamin D and many other vitamin D supporters - recommend 2,000 IU of vitamin D daily and vitamin D blood levels of 100-150 nanomoles-per-liter as measured by a vitamin D blood test.

Vieth pointed out that natural vitamin D levels of mammals who live outdoors in sunny climates is higher than that - up to 200 nanomoles-per liter. And Garland, whose presentation was entitled "Breast Cancer as a Vitamin D Deficiency Disease" presented data showing that raising one's vitamin D status near those levels decreased breast cancer risk more than 77 percent.

'The Sunshine Vitamin' was once thought of only for bone health, helping the body process calcium. But more recent work has shown that all cells in the body have "vitamin D receptors" which help control normal cell growth. Additionally, Garland presented new evidence that low vitamin D status compromises the integrity of calcium-based cellular bonding within tissues, which when eroded allow rogue cancer cells to spread more readily. 



Anyway take care and keep up the good work. 
Best wishes
Julia Robertson

Hi All,
 
Thanks Bruce for your Easter email.  I'd like to add my Easter wishes, albeit a little late but none-the-less sincere, to say that I've been thinking of everyone, particularly those of us who are experiencing Easter for the first time after have lost a loved one.  I also add my best wishes to those of us who are still working towards maintaining our health.  This, too, remains quite a challenge.
 
Warm regards,
Lorraine

Hi everyone,
 
The list has gone quiet of late so this is just to touch base with you all and to wish you the very best for Easter.
 
I know many on the list have difficulty with these key times of the year because of their personal battles with their health or because of the loss of a loved one, so please remember that the list is here and all the list members I know are only too happy to have a chat, lend an ear, a shoulder or even a bed, and if you choose the right time, you can probably even get a free coffee out of some.
 
Please keep the recipes, event notifications, health tips etc coming. It really does help to stay connected, particularly with those who truly understand what you are going through and who don't prejudge.
 
So hang in there guys and make the most out of the long weekend. May you all find some light, some peace and love, or some good fishing (or all of the aforementioned).
 
Love and best wishes,
 
Bruce
