I joined an online discussion group called Amazon, where women with breast cancer share information about the latest news in breast cancer research. One recent study caught my eye:

To investigate the chemopreventive effects of seaweed on breast cancer, we have been studying the relationship between iodine and breast cancer. We found earlier that the seaweed, wakame, showed a suppressive effect on the proliferation of DMBA (dimethylbenz(a)anthracene)-induced rat mammary tumors, possibly via apoptosis [cell death] induction. In the present study, powdered mekabu was placed in distilled water, and left to stand for 24 h at 4 degrees C.

 

The filtered supernatant was used as mekabu solution. It showed an extremely strong suppressive effect on rat mammary carcinogenesis when used in daily drinking water, without toxicity. In vitro, mekabu solution strongly induced apoptosis [cell death]in 3 kinds of human breast cancer cells. These effects were stronger than those of a chemotherapeutic agent widely used to treat human breast cancer. Furthermore, no apoptosis induction was observed in normal human mammary cells. In Japan, mekabu is widely consumed as a safe, inexpensive food. Our results suggest that mekabu has potential for chemoprevention of human breast cancer.

Rest assured, I am not nixing all conventional methods of cancer treatment. I am merely widening the scope of my research. To that end, I spent two minutes looking up mekabu on the web, just to find out (out of sheer curiosity, if nothing else) how to eat it. The pickings were slim, but I came across this website which, I have to say, made me smile, and smiling felt good:

It is our pleasure to here from you and we hope, that our dialogue will benefit to you in your way to the healthy living.

Did I order my mekabu powder ball? Not yet. First I want to find an oncologist who is open to actively and respectfully working with patients who want to use CAM (complementary alternative medicines) in addition to (or possibly in place of) conventional therapies. In other words, if I don't want to do chemo, I want an oncologist who will WORK with me to customize a treatment plan that I can live with.

After that, who knows? Maybe a combination of tamoxifen and mekabu will benefit to me in my way to healthy living. It warms my heart to think of supporting some little Mom & Pop corner mekabu store.

No, it probably doesn't all work if you believe in it, unless maybe you're a yogi/buddha/siddhartha/whatever. Which is why I'm working so hard right now to come up with hard facts.

It's getting harder and harder to make lighthearted, idiotic comments about your blog, like I'm used to. But I love thinking about Mom and Pop Mekabu. Dunno. For awhile it was Okinawan coral calcium. Now it's that African cactus. It probably all works if you believe in it.

Or perhaps you could simply put a dropper of Atomodine in your water every day. I've been adding iodine to my diet that way for awhile.
