Breast
Cancer: An Alternative Treatment Hypothesis
Associations
With High Levels of Vitamin K, High Bone Density and Hypercoagulation
of the Blood
Some
food for thought
In order
to get a big picture view of the factors that cause breast cancer,
it may be helpful to consider the conditions that occur in conjunction
with the disorder. Breast cancer frequently occurs along with the
following conditions:
Recent studies show that
many of the different foods that have been shown effective against
breast cancer also tend to be factors that prevent blood clots and
reduce bone mass. As such, it is logical to consider that since
the symptoms associated with breast cancer have some common factors
with these other conditions, they may also have some common underlying
causes. I believe there are some clues that high levels of vitamin
K may be a factor in the often concurrent conditions of breast cancer,
blood clots and high bone density.

Medical
education has neglected to perform a refined study of nutrition
in all of its aspects and has diverted attention away from
the most promising means of controlling cancer. That avenue
is the nutritional approach which must encompass the human
element of individual susceptibility.

A number of researchers
currently seem to think that blood clots are a symptom of breast
cancer, however I think this view is worth questioning. As the rest
of this paper will hypothesize, perhaps it is possible that the
conditions that cause blood clots and increased bone mineral density
also cause breast cancer, and that is why the three conditions frequently
appear together in the same person.
Just like when a person
gets the flu he can have symptoms such as achy joints, a runny nose
and a fever. The symptoms vary, but they have an underlying biochemical
root cause--a flu bug. If we think "outside the box" and
consider the possibility that breast cancer is a symptom of
a different underlying disorder, and that this same underlying disorder
has other symptoms such as high bone mineral density and blood clots,
then much of the recent research and the links between these three
conditions all falls into place. The studies fit together like pieces
of a puzzle.
The table below illustrates
the traditional view of breast cancer and the traditional view of
the flu:

An "out of the box"
view of these same two disorders is illustrated below. Notice that
in the scenario below breast cancer has gone from being an underlying
cause to a symptom.
