Book Review: Pelicans, Coconuts & Butterflies – Ani Kaspar
 Pelicans, Coconuts & Butterflies “Pelicans, Coconuts and Butterflies” is a breast cancer survivor’s story by new author Ani Kaspar. I have read dozens of cancer survivor’s books and articles over the last 21 years. When I came across Ani Kaspar’s account on Facebook I had just met with a friend whose wife was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. I noted Pelicans, Coconuts and Butterflies was Ani’s account of dealing with her own personal breast cancer challenge and thought the book may be a great gift for my friend’s wife.
When received I sat down to review Ani’s story prior to posting it off to my friend. I was not prepared for the marvelous personal accounts of diagnosis, facing of daily challenges and the ultimate triumph incorporated into Ani’s story of her struggles. Ani Kaspar’s ability to show her human side, intertwined with the spirituality required in chapter after chapter left me unable to sit the book down. I can only describe her story telling abilities as masterful.
The bonus is after 20 plus years of cancer education I was learning useful medical information without being preached to or taught in a scholarly way. The cancer tips, facts and figures were so skillfully intertwined into Ani’s story that picking them up was second nature. Hopefully, you can tell I’m giving Pelicans, Coconuts and Butterflies my unqualified endorsement and suggesting it be in everyone’s library, cancer patient or not.

 Cayenne Pepper (Capsaicin) Capsaicin, the active ingredient in habaneras and cayenne peppers, has a long history of cancer and other medical applications. I initially started this post in response to a request for help with a serious and reoccurring nose bleed.
It turns out a tea made of cayenne pepper (1 teaspoon per cup of hot water) is close to 100% effective in addressing the reoccurring nose bleeding problem.
Thinking about the heat generated by the capsaicin in cayenne pepper took me back to a cancer cure I came across several years ago. It involved eating a sandwich made of habanera peppers, garlic, butter and cod liver oil every day for 14 days. At the end of the period Stage IV cancer was suppose to be on the run.

 Ultra-Sonic Cleaner Combination Liposomal for cancer contains Vitamin C, Resveratrol and Curcumin. Pdazzler’s latest homemade Liposomal may be a potent cancer fighter when added to your current anti-cancer regimen or protocol. And you can make this powerful combination Liposomal in your own kitchen.
I have used homemade Liposomal Vitamin C as an alternative cancer treatment and as a cancer preventative for over a year.
Vitamin C (like Curcumin and Resveratrol) is very difficult for the body to absorb when taken orally. This is particularly true when Vitamin C is taken in large oral doses. Until the advent of Liposomal Vitamin C the only efficient method of getting therapeutic levels of Vitamin C into the blood stream was intravenously. This required administration and attendance by a physician or nurse practitioner. Continue reading Combination Liposomal
The American Cancer Society: Running WITH the Money and AWAY From the Cure – Part 2
by guest blogger: Tony Isaacs
THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY AND THE PESTICIDE AND CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES
 Tony Isaacs - Guest Blogger Previously in this series we looked at the cozy relationship between the American Cancer Society (ACS) and the chemical industry, including how that industry had been the source of both board members and major donations. A stark example of the influence chemical makers wielded with the ACS came in the spring of 1993 when the ACS helped attack an upcoming documentary about pesticide dangers.
Shortly before PBS was due to broadcast the documentary on “Frontline”, a draft of the script was leaked to the powerful public relations firm Porter-Novelli. Porter-Novelli had notable clients on both sides of the fence, including the ACS as well as Ciba-Geigy, DuPont, Monsanto, Burroughs Wellcome, American Petroleum Institute, the Center for Produce Quality, the USDA, the NCI, plus other National Institutes of Health.
Porter-Novelli first crafted a rebuttal to help the manufacturers quell public fears about pesticide-contaminated food. Next, Porter-Novelli called up another client, the ACS, for whom Porter-Novelli had done pro bono work for years. The rebuttal that Porter-Novelli had just sent off to its industry clients was faxed to ACS Atlanta headquarters. Then it was circulated internationally by e-mail so that the 3,000 regional ACS offices could use it to help field calls from the public after the show aired. Continue reading ACS’s Failure – Part 2
 National Cancer Institute Leave it to the National Cancer Institute and The American Cancer Society, to grab a fist full of studies accomplished by what they call the “Cohort Consortium Vitamin D Pooling Project of Rarer Cancers” to get Pdazzler’s dander up.
Here is the headline being spread far and wide by these “false prophets” claiming to lead the charge to find a cure for cancer.
“Hopes Dashed That Vitamin D Reduces Cancer Risk” The NCI goes on to say “the studies show no protective effect against non-Hodkin’s lymphoma, or cancer of the endometrium, esophagus, stomach, kidney, ovary or pancreas”.
Someone has to call these people out and inform readers (not inquisitive enough to dig out the information on their own) the information presented proves nothing about Vitamin D’s effects at preventing, curing or causing those or any other cancers. Continue reading NCI Hatchet Job – AGAIN!
