Could a virus be responsible for breast cancer?

Researchers say a virus may play a role in causing breast cancer. In a study published in the online edition of the journal Cancer, American researchers found a virus similar to one that causes breast cancer in mice, in almost three quarters of Tunisian breast cancer patients.

1. I am a breast cancer survivor and I chose not to do chemo and

radiation. In my quest for alternative therapy, I have run across the concept of viruses being a cancer cause often. It makes sense to me but I don't think anyone has nailed the science. It is my understanding there is a correlation with Epstein Barr virus with breast cancer.

2. Your status

Are you trying alternative treatment?

4. I have been clear for 2 years

I did an alternative treatment called escharotics.

It is not for everyone. Very painful and organic.

First hit on a Google search is http://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/Cancer/eschar.html .

I see no reason why it wouldn't work on superficial lesions that are well contained (why should it matter how one cuts it out?). However, I'd much rather get such a lesion surgically excised and the borders properly biopsied to ensure it's all been removed. Less painful, less organic and somewhat more reasuring.

I hope you stay well.

3. Wow -- seems like they keep finding this stuff out.

My father died of a stomach cancer that the doctors all thought was ultimately started by a mutation off the bacterium that causes bacterial peptic ulcers. He'd had an ulcer decades earlier, before they started treating them with antibiotics; later, he was treated, but it was apparently too late. I've read somewhere they're looking for a pathogen of some kind or other (sorry -- I don't remember where I read it, or whether it was virus or bacterium) that may have something to do with MS. Curiouser and curiouser...

5. From what

I understand, the virus itself may not actually be responsible for cancer, however, it may contribute to actually making the cancer very agressive.

And the scary part, as you may have indicated, is the fact that it could be triggered be an illness suffered in the past.

I find the field of health and discovery very interesting, and addictive at times.

8. Being a cancer survivor , i definitely find it interesting

Many have found solace in the use of Cantron along with a protocol that Dr. Maras prescribes.

10. I was also

reading another article from the same source:
http://www.healthtalk.ca/child_cancer_risk_07152004_9233.php

Concerning childhood cancer, and the fact that child survivors face a much higher risk of developing other health problems as they age. The risk rate is much higher when compared to adults with the same cancer.

The therapy used to treat the cancer is the culprit in this case.

13. Forgive me for this comparison

But my beloved dog was given a couple of months to live. It pained me that I chose not to do the very expensive prescribed chemo. I found Cantron and my dog lived more than a happy, active year after her supposed demise.

I am responding because I felt that I was "silly" for doing my own "treatment" which included Cantron and some other things.

The information that I learn on this board just amazes me.

Happy Health to you.

The right one is

11. The group I have worked with in the past RPHP has found

that there is a correlation between breast cancer and nuke plants and exposure from regular emissions (which are absorbed and spread to the soft tissues and organs) Not only does it mutate cells but it also mutates bacteria and viruses as predicted by Sakarov (refusenik father of the Soviet H-Bomb) in the 1950's.

genes are damaged, immune systems are damaged, and the viruses we are used to are mutating into forms we have no or little reistance to (the viruses are evolving due to the mutations to resist our natural AND antibiotic resistance to them)

there is more at

www.radiation.org

I urge you to read dr. Sherman's materials and Dr. Sternglass.

while they are looking at the epidemiological materials mostly and measuring exposure nationwide, there is some material on prevention and healing and ways to protect our children.
