Cancer is a very serious disease. It disables proper function of the body from within its cells. Our body is made of trillions of cells and every function of it starts at the cellular level. Food is the number one factor that determines if our cells will work properly or not. It is food that brings nutrients into our cells to feed them, so if you eat junk, that is what your cells are getting and it will dramatically effect their function.

Here are 4 ways to treat cancer and any other chronic disease using a natural way:

Eat a plant based diet. When eating fruit, vegetables and nuts, you provide your body with enough nutrients to function properly. Plant based food will stay in your system for about 15-20 hours, which is a good digesting time. People who live in the western world, and eat junk food like chips, pizza, McDonald’s etc… take 48 or even 72 hours to digest the food they eat. This is because they eat a lot of unhealthy fat, processed food, starches and so on. With such a slow digesting system, one is exposing itself to chronic diseases such as cancer. The longer waste products and toxins stay in the colon the more chance it has to damage your body and re- absorbed back in the system. Seek alternative treatment. Cancer is a very serious disease. When you have cancer, no one can promise you a cure. Many people with cancer who took conventional therapy and were not cured try to find other ways to treat their disease like nutrition. If you have been treated with chemotherapy and were not cured you may want to try and look for an alternative way top treat your disease, this is because you have nothing to lose any more. Help your body build its immune system nutritionally and use vitamins from real fresh food, not pills, to help your body fight cancer. Being malnourished cannot possibly be good for cancer or any other chronic disease. Combine conventional and alternative therapy together. I am not saying you should avoid chemotherapy, what I am saying is combine nutrition with your conventional way of treating cancer. If you do that you will gain 3 things: You will not lose your appetite after chemo, you will lose less hair, if at all, and last – you will not have nausea. Combining chemo with good nutrition will nourish your healthy cells that may have been damaged in the process of chemotherapy. Again – being malnourished cannot possibly be good for cancer, because cancer is sick cells, and if you feed your cell with poison you will not help your cancer. Nutrition and vitamins are more effective than chemotherapy. They are also less expensive. A Plant based diet has a lot of antioxidants which I spoke about in some of my previous articles. Antioxidants will arrest free radicals that are the cause of cancer inside your body.

Nutrition has been keeping people alive and well and healthy for millions of years. It is when we, in the western world started processing our food that chronic diseases have been developed.

For victims of hair loss due to cancer treatments, like radiation or chemotherapy, preparing a good quality or a custom wig prior to total hair loss may be an excellent way to reduce stress by eliminating the bald look.

The first concern for cancer patients is usually hair loss, while it is not life-threatening, it can cause emotional distress. Cancer patients show compliance with treatment, despite the knowledge that their hair may fall out. There is the comfort to cancer patients that a wig is always an option to hide their hair loss.

On average, ordering time for a custom human hair wig takes six to eight weeks. Therefore, one should prepare ahead. Starting at two months prior to radiation therapy, patients should consult a hair replacement or custom wig specialist. At that time, they may discuss the patient’s specific hair needs; which will include hair type, color density, and life style. A follow up visit will include fitting of the new custom wig, getting the piece ready before the hair loss becomes noticeable.

Find a comfortable and relaxing environment. One that pampers and supports you with a custom wig, a unique hair replacement for the individual. The use of a hair piece or a wig to conceal hair loss is what millions of others are using.

It’s important to get the wig ordered before losing hair. It is not recommend changing hair styles during the onset of the treatments. As the hair begins to fall out, it is suggested to return to the wig center for an adjustment. With most patients, hair will grow back after the treatment is completed. However, some patients may never grow their hair back to the same thickness or texture.

Handmade or custom-made hair-pieces are more expensive than machine-made wigs. The most natural look will be with a custom human hair wig made by an expert professional. Professionals who specialize in wigs and hair replacement services offer many advantages unavailable at a conventional hair salon or wig retailer.

1. Tomato

Tomato is one of the best sources of vitamin C, can significantly reduce the risk of cancer, especially prostate cancer. Elements in tomatoes can prevent cancer and cardiovascular disease, also can reduce the incidence of prostate cancer. Tomato juice without salt does really good for hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases.

Nutrition experts recommend we eat 1 or 2 fresh tomatoes a day for our health.

2. Nuts

Nuts, including peanut and almond fruit, may raise good cholesterol and lower triglycerides in the blood, and prevent heart diseases. Nuts are the essence of plants, rich in proteins, fats, minerals, vitamins, can contribute to human growth and development, also can enhance physical fitness and prevent cancers.

Nutrition experts recommend we eat 30 grams a day. But we can not eat too much, or we will be fat.

3. Oat

Moderate daily consumption of oat can lower cholesterol. Oat is rich in fiber and make people feel enough to eat, so can reduce the intake of other greasy food. Daily consumption of 35 grams oats can provide adequate nutrition and maintain long-term vitality.

4. Garlic

Apart from the rich in antioxidants, garlic has recently been found to prevent colon cancer. Japanese scientists found that those who eat garlic daily were less suffering from colon cancer.

Nutrition experts recommend those sedentary white-collar crowd should eat garlic.

5. Red wine

Red wine contains alcohol and tannin, can inhibit bacterial growth. It contains Vitamin C, E, and carotene, has anti-oxidation function, can effectively prevent cataracts, immune barriers, artery atherosclerosis, cardiovascular and cerebral vascular diseases and cancers.

Nutrition experts recommend that moderate consumption of red wine does good to our health, 1-3 cups a day is usually the best.

I’ve had a lot of experience with people fighting cancer. I worked in a nursing home as a teenager, and many of the patients had the disease. Some I knew fairly well, others not so well. I noticed that two things made a difference.

The first is faith in God. That’s frequently a taboo topic, people are uncomfortable talking about it to strangers. Some people have no such faith and are offended when the subject is brought up. I could site studies (there have been some) or otherwise press the issue, but this isn’t a sermon, and you should feel free to agree or disagree with that statement.

The second thing is willpower. This means a conscious decision to fight the cancer with everything you’ve got. The patients I’ve known that did that seemed to recover better and faster. It wasn’t always easy for them. Cancer treatments are painful physically and the fear the word causes can be mind numbing.

Sometimes the statistics for surviving a particular type of cancer are so dire that you can’t imagine victory. Giving in to that fear will make those statistics accurate. Instead, write a promise to yourself that you will keep a positive attitude and you will do everything in your power to get well.

I don’t think you can do it alone easily. There may be some who can, but if you are like me, and like many of the people I know who have cancer, then you will need support. Don’t be afraid to ask for it. If you have a family, lean on them. If you have a church or other house of worship, ask them to help. Ask your doctor to refer you to a support group for your type of cancer.

These people can help you in those inevitable times when you wonder if it is all worth the effort. They can offer companionship and encouragement. In practical matters, they may also offer to bring you a meal or help you with errands. It’s good to have a network around you.

One last tip; don’t trust everything you read on the internet, neither the good nor the bad. If your doctor has told you something and a web site says something different, go with your doctor. That doesn’t mean don’t use the web, just use it with the same caution you would when researching anything else. If a site seems to differ with the doctor and you think it important, ask the doctor about it.

It seems that with the rise in cancers all over the world, the need for cancer awareness merchandise has become more prevalent. People who are survivors or family and friends of people who suffer from any type of cancer are eager to share their stories with others to make people aware of the dangers of certain things and the whole cancer issue itself. So, when it comes down to cancer awareness, t-shirts, stuffed animals, pins, bracelets, and many other items are helping everyone to spread the word.

Pancreatic cancer has a high mortality rate and it is hard to treat, because of the difficulties in diagnosis, the few treatments options that are available and the aggressive nature of the cancer. Early pancreatic cancer also does not have any noticeable symptoms. But there are treatments and cures, that are not so well know. They work extremely well and they are safe. An alternative treatments for pancreatic cancer is MGN-3 treatment.

Alternative treatments for pancreatic cancer – MGN-3

MGN-3 is a very effective immune system stimulant and it is especially impressive in strengthening the NK cells or Natural Kill cells. The odds of survival are higher for people, who`s NK cells are more active. MGN-3 is also known to raise the activity level of other immune system cells, such as T cells and B cells. Dr. Ghoneum, who is the discoverer and researcher of MGN-3, is an expert in biological response modifiers (BRM-s).

He had tried to use both natural and synthetical BRM-s, to increase the activity level of Natural Kill cells, but was not very successful, because of the high toxicity level of the biological response modifiers. This all changed when Dr. Ghoneum discovered MGN-3 and did extensive research and studies on it. He found that MGN-3 maintained the boost of the immune system for a very long time and it also had no toxicity.

Dr. Ghoneum firmly believes, that cancer can only occur when the immune system is not strong, absent or malfunctioning. Your doctor knows how active your NK cells are by taking a NK cell function test, in normal people this is about 60-75%, but in cancer patients it is as low as 0% to 30%.

When the Natural Kill cells encounter a cell of a tumor, they attach themselves to the membrane of the tumor cells and inject cytoplasmic granules to the tumor and withing a few minutes the the cancer cell is dead and the Natural Kill cell moves on to the next tumor cell.

There are many alternative treatments for pancreatic cancer, this was just one example. It is necessary for people to learn about these treatments and remedies, because they save lives. Each person can do a lot of things to help cure cancer and people just can`t rely on doctors all the time.

The bladder is a hollow organ lying within pelvis, which collects urine from the kidneys via tubes called ureters and stores it until it is full enough to empty through the urethra.

Bladder cancer is any type of malignant growth in the bladder. There are two main types – superficial and invasive. The superficial tumours, sometimes known as bladder warts, do not spread and are fairly easily treated. Invasive tumours, which have spread beyond the bladder walls, have a poorer prognosis.

Bladder cancer is more common in men, especially those over the age of sixty years. Cigarette smoking is known to be a major risk factor and accounts for about 60% of all new cases. Other risk factors include exposure to chemicals as used in certain industries. Women who have regularly used permanent hair dyes are at greater risk of developing the condition, as are hairdressers. The exact causes however remain unknown and research continues.

The symptoms of bladder malignancy may include blood in the urine, also known as haematuria, and pain or frequency passing urine. These symptoms, however, are not specific and could well be related to other conditions such as urinary tract infections or kidney stones. If you notice blood in your water it is important that you see your doctor as soon as possible for some diagnostic tests. But please do not panic as the blood may be from an entirely benign source. Haematuria does not always indicate bladder cancer but must be checked out.

To diagnose the problem the doctor will take a full medical history, do a physical examination and send a specimen of urine away for testing. Depending on the results the next step may be a cystoscopy, which is a simple procedure, using a fibre-optic tube with a light source attached to inspect the inside of the bladder. The scope is passed into the bladder via the urethra. If any abnormal areas or growths are noted cells can be taken for further examination to see whether they are cancerous or not.

If cancer is diagnosed the next step is to determine whether it is localised or has spread from it’s original location.

Treatment is by surgery, chemotherapy or radiotherapy. The type of cancer, age and general health of the patient will determine which treatment or combination of treatments is used.

Early diagnosis always improves the outcome. If you experience any of the above symptoms please seek immediate medical help. If you notice blood in your urine report it to your doctor so that it can be investigated and any appropriate treatment started.

If you have been diagnosed as having a bladder cancer you will need to attend for regular check ups so the condition can be monitored.

People who smoke 20 cigarettes a day for 10 years have double the risk of developing bladder cancer compared with non-smokers. If you stop smoking the risk is reduced. If you have been diagnosed with superficial bladder cancer and are a smoker, stopping smoking will greatly reduce the risk of any recurrence.

The Food Matters Cancer Learning Program made sense to me as soon as I listened to the first 23.5 FREE minutes of its video program. It talks about the anti-oxidants that come from fruits and vegetables, and explains why this is all you need to do to reverse cancer of any form.

Breast cancer starts from malignancy. That is a chunk of cancer cells accumulating in the chest cavity and spreading. So what do you do? You eat right! You stop completely all that chips, red meat, processed food, too much salt, any deep fried food, pizzas, take away and so on. You start cooking at home with fresh ingredients you buy at the super market. you start making your self a lot of vegetable juice, fruit juice and eat fresh salads. Sprout your own at home, or buy sprouts at the store. And more

Why Do I Tell You All That?

The condition of our body is determine by what we eat and who we are. A person who lives life instantly will probably suffer a chronic disease. Instantly means going to the store and buying a pre-made meal, take away, chips, or what ever instant food may be. You do not know how they cooked it, how clean their commercial kitchen is, what are (really) their hygiene regulations and do they actually follow it, when did they last changed the oil they cook in, is it the right oil for cooking?

How Food Can Cause Cancer:

Cancer starts from free radicals. Breast cancer or any other type of cancer stems from free radicals entering our body. They are every where. The air we breath has oxygen in it. Oxygen will oxidize our body, it brings free radicals into it. Smoke, where ever that maybe, has a lot of free radicals. If you are at home sitting by the fire you will inevitably breath in some of it, The smoke from your BBQ is toxic and contain free radicals, cars exhausts, factory chimneys, etc. all smoking free radicals. Because we live in such an industrial age, we inevitably breath a portion of that smoke with its free radicals.

In my next article I will lay out to you what does free radicals do inside our body to our cells, and why anti-oxidants are the only solution for that. Chronic diseases are chronic because it is not curable for 6 months or more. That means you did no t eat properly and exposed your body to toxic environment. It is that simple and that is why the solution is also very simple.

Neoplasm that starts in bones is somewhat rare. However, it is usual for tumors to scatter to bones coming from other portions of the human body. When this occurs, the illness is not identified as primary bone tumor. Every type of tumor is named after the tissue or organ where it starts off.

The current radiologic result on x-ray oftentimes is damage of bone. Patients having primary malignant cancer currently with painful and destructive abrasion of bone, a conclusion about metastatic tumor may be done with a little assurance. On the other hand, there are persons in whom primary tumor is so far not recognized during the time when the metastatic wound in the bone became painful. A CT scan, radionuclide scan of the bone, MRI or skeletal survey can be made to identify which bones were affected.

The treatment regarding bone tumor, especially metastatic tumor, has two objectives: Management of the tumor and management of the signs created by local wounds. Diagnosis can be affected by the age of the patient, size of primary cancer, stage and grade, degree of blood vessel and lymphatic invasion, the extent of signs and site of the cancer in the leg, arm or trunk.

There are primarily two ways in treating bone metastasis: the Systemic Therapy – the therapy that is aimed at tumor cells which have scattered all over the body, this includes chemotherapy, immunotherapy and hormone therapy, and Local Therapy – this therapy is aimed to kill tumor cells in a particular portion of the human body, it includes surgery and radiation therapy or radiotherapy.

Surgery must be frequently broad, with spacious margin of tissues surrounding the tumor that is being taken. Sarcomas which involve muscles need the removal of the complete group of muscles which are affected.

Radiation Therapy – commonly called radiotherapy is utilized to avoid the appearance again of radiosensitive cancers and can be provided either prior or after surgery.

Chemotherapy – some drugs were found to be effective in the treatment of bone as well as tender tissue sarcomas. The doses are needed to give good chance of cure but often they create large side effects. Efficient single agents can include doxorubicin, high- dose methotrexate, dacarbazine, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, ifosfamide, etoposide, dactinomycin (actinomycin D) and other investigational agents. Mixtures of these mentioned drugs are frequently utilized.

Hormone therapy -is either the elimination of organ which produces hormones that may help in the growth of particular forms of cancer (like estrogen in women and testosterone in men), or therapy with the use of drugs to maintain the hormones in promoting growth of cancer.

Biphosphonates – are drugs which may be used in the reduction of bone pain and may slow down harm in persons who have tumors that have scattered into their bones.

Although the tender tissue sarcoma or bone shows to be confined in a small area and could be removed completely, there is a considerable danger that cancer cells that are too tiny to discover have already scattered to some other parts of the body. Extra treatment of chemotherapy (adjuvant chemotherapy) tries to eradicate these deposits of the tumor.

There are some effective and safe methods to cure pain. Medications may permit people to get rid of pain in order that they may carry on the actions that are essential to them.

There are many types of cancers that can infect the body. If you have been diagnosed with thyroid cancer, you can in some way, consider yourself to be lucky. Thyroid cancer patients have a 95% survival rate. Most patients can bee treated well enough they can say they have been cured.

This form of cancer only makes up 1% of all cancer patients, and it affects women more than it does men. For this reason, thyroid cancer is said to be gender related, although the absolute cause is unknown.

Thyroid cancer is divided into four categories, papillary, follicular, medullary, and anaplastic. The papillary form of cancer is the most common form, and it is also the most curable. The follicular form of thyroid cancer is more malignant than papillary. Follicular cancer is common for older people, and the cancer cures are typically successful. Medullary cancer originates in the upper lobe of the thyroid. It can spread to the lymph nodes in the early stages of the cancer. This type of cancer may also be genetic and could possibly run in families. Anaplastic is the rarest form of thyroid cancer. This cancer can spread rapidly through the lymph nodes, and could cause a massive lump on the neck. This type of cancer is again, common in people above the age of 65. Anaplastic cancer has the highest rate of fatality.

Most cures involve chemotherapy. Actually, this version of cancer is the most susceptible to chemo. This is because thyroid cells act differently than other cells in the body. Thyroid cells are unique because they have the ability to absorb iodine. When you use chemotherapy, the iodine is concentrated to the cancer cells specifically. This cuts down on the negative effects of chemotherapy. Many patients who use chemotherapy as a cancer cure do not experience hair loss, nausea, diarrhea, or any of the other negative effects associated with chemotherapy.

Typically, thyroid patients will have the growth removed surgically first. Than, the radioactive iodine treatment will begin and will continue for about two weeks. After that, patients will return to the doctor every 6 months to a year to get blood tests. Most thyroid patience never see it return after the initial radioactive iodine treatment.

If you have been diagnosed with this dreaded disease, you can take comfort in the fact that thyroid cancer cures have a 95% success rate. Talk to your doctor right away about your treatment options so that you too can get on your way to a fast recovery.
