    I am responding to the entire listserv on this very important issue of
causal factors of cancer [including other diseases]. We have been taught to
eat following the four-food-group program, and are supposed to believe
that it IS HEALTHY. If we want optimum health, free from the myriad diseases
that are growing in numbers, we MUST be more educated to a better approach
to give our bodies optimum nutrients! Manipulation of the food we consume
has caused untold disease and suffering (Dr. Michael Colgan). Tens of
thousands of honest, but lesser educated, physicians, dieticians, social and
welfare workers, teachers, and therapists have been carefully fooled into
presenting supermarket foods and the Four Food Groups as the correct
nutrition. Many millions of Americans have followed their advice. As Dr.
Colgan's books show, the direct result has been a massive increase in
cardiovascular diseases, cancers, adult-onset diabetes, liver and kidney
diseases, obesity, Alzheimer's disease, arthritis, and osteoporosis.
    Although it is most unfortunate you experienced this malady, I urge you
[and others] to research the human bodies immune system and the effect of
today's nutritional habits [as well as environmental influences] and
relation to cancer and other diseases. A very good reference is Dr. Michael
Colgan's books, THE NEW NUTRITION: MEDICINE FOR THE MILLENNIUM, and,
HORMONAL HEALTH. I would be very happy to talk to anyone personally should
more detailed information is desired.
