AN ARTICLE ON CANCER

What is cancer?

Cancer is the general term used for diseases in which normal cells separate without any control thus involving other tissues. Cancer cells can also spread to various parts of the body through the blood and lymph system.

Wild cell growth turns into cancer when it is exposed to carcinogens (Cancer- causing substance) genetic defects, or viruses. A tumour is formed when cancer cells multiply large masses of tissue. In some cases tumours limit themselves to one spot in the body; some can be removed by surgery. These kinds of tumours may cause little harm and is termed benign. Hostile tumours are called malignant. The study of cancer is called oncology.

Causes of Cancer

People get lung cancer most of the time from smoking tobacco which is said to have carcinogenic substance mainly known as tobacco smoke. Some carcinogens include certain chemicals, the Sun’s ultraviolet light, and radiation. Cancer can be formed by several viruses by altering the DNA of a host cell and converting the cell’s normal genes into cancer – causing genes, or oncogenes. Genetic factors – such as chromosomal abnormalities or the inheritance of faulty genes from a parent of fore parent. This could most likely cause these persons who inherit these genes can end up having cancer. People that are Down syndrome, a chromosomal abnormality are susceptible to leukaemia.

How is cancer formed?

When a normal cell transforms into a cancer cell the genetic material (deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA) of a cell is changed, or mutated. Tumours don’t form over night they formed over decades or a certain amount of years, because of this it is very susceptible to formed into a cancer cell as time goes along. Most cancer occurs after the age of fifty, yet some are detected earlier in life, it varies.

Different types of cancer

It has been accessed that there are over more than 200 different types of cancers. They are named after the tissue or the organ they begin to form. The term Leukemia refers to cancer of white blood cells (can be also called leukocytes). Melanomas are cancers that begin in melanocytes (skin pigmentation.

Treatments for cancer

Oncologists have been using Chemotherapy, or drug therapy to help cancer patience around the world. When cancer spreads to different parts of the body chemotherapy is used to help treat the cancer, before it gets worst. The immune system is weak when cancer spreads through the body. Therefore a treatment name immune enhancing drugs or antibodies are also used to help build back up the immune system and to destroy abnormal cells. There has been an anticancer drug that kills cancer cells while leaving the good ones alive. This drug was introduced in the spring of 2001. The drug, Gleevec has proven to work very strongly against chronic myelogenous leukaemia, leukaemia is one of the four main types of blood cancer.

Why cancer has and is becoming more prevalent

Over the last generation there has been vast difference between the way we use to live and how we are now living. I can almost say that we live in a different world. Technology has been increased by a large percentage. Smelter plants, environmental chemical, polluted air, microwaves, computers, utensils and a lot of foods are said to be cancerous to us. Meats that are harmonized (e.g. chicken), plants, vegetables, fruits etc. these are all things that should make us healthy, but instead it can be deadly to us. Because of the amount of hormones that are being injected into them, plants and trees are being sprayed with insecticide, fertilizers as though these liquids are water. Then they are being sold to groceries, farmers etc, for us to buy and eat.

Is there any cure for cancer?

   Since cancer has been detected, no cure solution has ever been introduced. Various anti–cancer tablets and chemotherapy was put in place in order to control cancer cells. Cancer, AIDS and Sugar diabetes are the three major sicknesses that have no cure. Although there are things out there to help cancer. It is proven that more and more people are getting cancer. Women have become prone to Breast cancer for the past 3o years. United States had even poured out $30 billion to help find a solution to cure cancer.

Does Alternative Medicine Work?

herry — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 22:08:50 +0000

The growth of alternative medicine over the past few decades has been rapid and the number of alternative medicine practitioners grows by the day. With thousands of private complementary health practitioners and an increase in GPs offering alternative therapies there is no doubting its popularity and continued movement toward professional healthcare validation. However the question about alternative medicine remains – does it work? Acupuncture, reflexology and therapeutic touch are now non-conventional therapies people will consider having when thinking beyond conventional medical practices.
Certainly if you posed the question of whether alternative medicine works to people in the Far East the answer would be a resounding ‘yes’. Many alternative medicine techniques and therapies began in places like China and India centuries ago and are integral to their healthcare systems. With that degree of use and such a rich history there must be a high level of confidence in its effectiveness.
If you speak to many physicians the argument against alternative medicine is that it is not proven to work. This is a somewhat blinkered opinion as it is based on a comparison with traditional pharmaceutical drug testing. Before drugs can be prescribed they must go through rigorous clinical trials using a broad cross-section of society and performed over a period of years under the supervision of trained research teams. The industry goes to great lengths to highlight this clinical process and show that the evidence is scientific fact. But alternative medicine has been put through equally rigorous tests by research teams around the world; it’s just not as well documented.
Only now are we beginning to see the outcomes of these tests as demand for alternative medicine increases. And as demand increases, so the clinical trials into complementary and alternative therapies will increase. We should also be careful to dismiss practices that have been used successfully for thousands of years in other countries.
Another argument against alternative medicine is that evidence is anecdotal and based purely on personal experience of a therapy. But then the same argument could be true of conventional drug treatment. It is only because a clinical trial has taken place that the drug is deemed to work for everyone. That’s not always the case. How often has someone told you to take a certain drug for an ailment as it worked for them only to find that it didn’t work for you? It’s true that certain conditions require traditional treatment but that’s not to say that alternative medicine cannot be used alongside it. A popular benefit with alternative medicine is that it doesn’t have the nasty side-effects or discomfort that pharmaceutical drugs can have.
Alternative medicine is effective and can work for you
Alternative medicine is matter of choice. There are many therapies and techniques to choose from that can fit in with your ideas about health and well-being. Alternative medicine can help with a variety of conditions illnesses and approaches health in a holistic way. Concern for the body as a whole and the use of natural herbal remedies really can target a specific illness. So to answer the question – yes, alternative medicine does work if you find the therapy that works for you.

Cure for Male Dysfunction = Boosting Circulation

There could be various reasons you are having a difficult time getting it up. But most men are simply dealing with a circulation problem. In short, your circulation levels have been decreasing for the last few years and you are finally seeing the aftermath.

You shouldn’t be overly concerned with your common male problem; simply, look at it as a warning sign letting you know that you need to change something about your lifestyle, diet, vitamin program or possibly supplement program.

Too many men think that an erectile dysfunction is part of life and swallowing a colorful, miracle pill will solve all of their problems. The problem with this mindset is that the colorful pill only remedies the symptoms of impotence. That is why every impotence commercial warns you that you should contact your doctor to see if you are healthy enough for the E.D. medication.

Fact! Researchers at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center analyzed numerous cases and reports and found that there “appears to be a high number of deaths and serious cardiovascular events associated with the use of Viagra.”

But you can avoid all of this by choosing a holistic treatment that works by boosting circulation downstairs. Many of our customers have cured their erectile dysfunction with some of these E.D. secrets.

5 Holistic Health Tips for Male Impotence

Holistic health simply means ‘whole’ body health to treat a certain problem. By using researched treatments, you can be healthier and treat impotence all at once.

1. Did you know that 80-90% of the time, male dysfunctions are caused by a physical problem? In other words, you have about a 90% chance of curing yourself with exercise, breathing techniques, dieting, or even a different nutrition program. One simple tip is to try to exercise daily. I recommend trying to workout for more than 25 minutes to allow your ‘runner’s high’ to kick in. Walking is always a great start!

2. Impotence is often caused by a high fat diet that blocks the flow of circulation. You should start watching the high fat and high cholesterol foods you consume. Start looking at the labels and avoid all fast foods and processed foods. Eating raw, simple foods is always the best choice.

3. Small habits! Healthier people always rise early (like 6 AM). You should also try to relax or meditate at least once a day for about 20 minutes. As a spiritual person, I use this time for prayer. Also remember to eat more in the morning and less at nights (bigger breakfast and smaller dinner).

4. Flush your system! We have discovered that flushing your body is probably one of the best things you can do for it! You can do this by drinking plenty of water each day (10 glasses a day) and also eating 5-7 fruits or vegetables. Eating water soluble fiber (fruits and veggies) will naturally flush your body and could open up some arteries that are restricted.

5. Found in meat, dairy products and fish, L- Arginine is an amino acid. The body uses arginine to create nitic oxide, a substance used to relax the blood vessels. This may have a positive effect on symptoms of your erectile dysfunction.
