Dr. Kathleen Ruddy, an internationally recognized breast cancer surgeon, who has dedicated the last eight years to writing a book that reveals the untold story of her breast cancer virus research joins eHealth Radio and the Cancer Prevention and Health News Channels.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Dr. Kathleen Ruddy discuss the following:
What the basic premise of the new book?What compelled you to write this book?How do you hope this research will work towards a cure? What do you want the medical community to know?What are 5 breast cancer myths you want to share?
Duration: 12:20
Internationally acclaimed as a global healthcare leader for the “Pure Cure” – breast cancer prevention – Dr. Ruddy works tirelessly to promote primary prevention of breast cancer. She is especially committed to supporting research on the human breast cancer virus and the development of preventive breast cancer vaccines. Dr. Ruddy’s mission: To understand the specific causes of breast cancer and to use that knowledge to prevent the disease. Her vision: Persuade the world that Prevention Is The New Cure.
Dr. Ruddy has twice been recognized by the largest private insurer in New Jersey (Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey) as an outstanding surgeon whose outcomes and cost-effectiveness are exemplary. Dr. Ruddy has twice received awards for her blog on the breasthealthandhealing.org website.
Breast Cancer kills one woman every minute. That’s a statistic internationally recognized breast cancer surgeon Dr. Kathleen Ruddy is intent on changing. That challenge starts with a question: Can a mouse virus cause breast cancer in women?
Answering that question has become Dr. Ruddy’s life’s work. With 100 years of research establishing that most breast cancer may well be virus-based, the answer is vital to the future of millions of women and men. As Dr. Ruddy, the first and only breast cancer specialist to compile this encyclopedic research in one volume, remarks, “If there’s a virus that causes breast cancer, and a safe and effective vaccine that can prevent this disease, we need to know about it now, not in another 100 years.”
Although we can trace the origins of breast cancer back 5,000 years to the Egyptians, it was the research of Dr. John Bittner in the 1930s who discovered a breast cancer virus in mice that marked a turning point, Dr. Ruddy explains. From that moment on there has been a long tangled path for research on the breast cancer virus to be taken seriously, despite the mounting evidence supporting this idea.
After eight years of compiling and analyzing all available data, what has emerged, Dr. Ruddy believes, is compelling evidence that a virus found in a certain species of mice (Mouse Mammary Tumor Virus - MMTV) is responsible for up to 75% of human breast cancer.
In Of Mice and Women, (Breast Health and Healing Foundation) by Kathleen T. Ruddy, tells the story of this research, and why few of us have heard about it.

Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest David Hill discuss the following: Your late father, Albert Fay Hill, spent most of his life trying to find a cure for cancer. How did this all start? Where did this passion come from?Tell me about your Dad – I understand he had medical expertise, was not a doctor, he was a lay person – be he would go on to become a lifelong student of cancer -- researching this disease for decades. How did your father go about researching a cure for cancer?I understand he developed a therapy that he believed could reset the immune system to recognize and attack tumors. Can you give us some topline thoughts on this?What do you think that this was so promising about his research and that the medical community should consider?How do you want people to remember your father?
Duration: 8:49
The late Albert Fay Hill was passionate about finding a cure for cancer when his wife was diagnosed with breast cancer in the late 60s. He had no medical training - just a curious mind. He spent thousands of hours studying cancer research and developed a therapy he believed could reset the immune system to recognize and attack tumors. He came to believe that the correct sequence and timing of GIK therapy could increase lymphocyte effectiveness and mount a defense against cancer. Years ago, this research was published in the Journal of Immune Based Therapies and Vaccines. He had the dream to have his protocol tested. His family remembers him as a man with incredible courage and his relentless love. The family believes that this research has a lot of promise and potential.
David Hill is an information technology specialist for the State of Michigan. He works with the department of Management, Budget and Technology to adopt and maintain IT to support State services. He lives in Michigan and he has published two science fiction books, with his father, years ago, and has written several full length novels on his own.
