The sun which provides life on this planet and without it we couldn’t survive, has received an enormous amount of bad press lately. Over the last 30 to 40 years we’ve been told by governments and our health care system to keep our skin out of the sun because it causes cancer

The true facts are the cause of skin cancer doesnot lie entirely with the sun as there was very little a few years ago and it’s been slowly increasing over the last 40 to 50 years. The sun certainly hasn’t changed and the ozone layer that protects us from harmful radiation is only a problem over the Antarctic where nobody lives but there is something else that has changed over that same period.

It’s the sun, combined with nutritional deficiency that is causing so much skin cancer. It’s the irritation caused by the sun burn that will determine where the cancer will take hold, but it’s the nutritional deficiencies and other lifestyle factors which is causing it to grow and that’s why it keeps reappearing after treatments. The current treatments are not addressing the root cause of the problem and we of course are just blaming the sun. (more…)

There are many schools of thought in the cancer alternative medicine literature about what is needed by way of diet in natural cancer treatments. The vast majority suggest that someone who wants to heal themselves from cancer must give up meat, especially red meat. However is this the case and what about other foods? Are there any similarities there?

The reason that most suggest giving up red meat is because they claim that vegetarianism is healthier and that red meat makes the blood acidic – upsetting the acid-base balance in the blood which should be more alkaline. Vegetarians tend to have a very deep belief in the inherent “healthiness” of their eating pattern, something that does not seem to be well supported in the medical literature. (I can hear them howl, “Yes it is!” But I beg to differ.)

There is a major issue that is agreed across all of the cancer alternative medicine believers and that is that lot fed animals give inferior meat than grass fed ones. The statement is frequently made that animals free to roam in large grassed areas and eat their grass mixed with many other forms of green herbs gives meat that is naturally healthier than those fed on grains, soy products, antibiotics and growth hormones.

Rodent Tuber (Typhonium flagiliforme) began more and more known as a material for the breast cancer drug eradicator. Wet trunked plants to grow in the open at an altitude of 1000 meters above sea level. Single leaf arising from tubers. Premises round leaves form n heart-shaped pointed tip. Fresh green color. These Rodent Tuber rounded average of nutmeg. The inside and outside the white bulbs. In the dry season, the trunk disappeared. Whereas in the rainy season, these plants appeared again on the surface of the tubers are buried in the ground.

According to Potopoy Pasau that using mice taro as traditional medicine, this plant is leafless in the summer it is today. Because of that, he found it difficult to find. He claimed, for traditional medicine, he did not planted it on his own, but looked at the places where it grows taro mice. Rodent Tuber was used for the treatment of cancer, especially breast cancer.

Circumin is the active ingredient in the spice Tumeric, which has been considered a “holy powder” in India for centuries. Circumin imparts the bright gold color to turmeric and also serves as a yellow dye for textiles. But more importantly, the use of turmeric as medicine in the Indian culture goes back more than 5000 years.

U.S. scientists are jumping on the circumin bandwagon as well. In 2005, almost 300 technical papers in the National Library of Medicine’s PubMed database referenced circumin – compared with only 100 papers just five years earlier.(1)

And the result of all those studies? Extensive research has shown circumin to be an effective antioxidant, antiviral, antibacterial, anifungal, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer agent. That means it has enormous potential in combating malignant diseases and chronic illnesses, including diabetes, cancer and Alzheimer’s disease.(2) (more…)

Cervix is the neck of the uterus. It is the bottom, slim part of the uterus which is connected to the topmost part of the vagina. Cervical cancer is believed to be due to the infection caused by HPV (Human Papillomavirus). The malignant symptoms of this cancer include bleeding of the vagina, contact bleeding and vaginal mass. Other symptoms include moderate pain during sexual intercourse and vaginal discharge. In the advanced stages of this disease, a person experiences loss of appetite, weight loss, fatigue, pelvic pain, back pain, leg pain, single swollen leg, heavy vaginal bleeding, bone fractures and leaking of urine or feces from the vagina.

Because of the growing cases of cervical cancer each year, a cervical cancer vaccine was made available. It was aimed to provide protection from HPV which is believed to be the root cause of most cervical cancer. Gardasil is the first cervical cancer vaccine approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Its effectiveness is said to be up to 98%. Cervarix is the other cervical cancer vaccine which is already in use in some countries. But in other countries, it is still waiting for approval before its full campaign. Gardasil vaccine protects against HPV types 6, 11, 16 and 18. Cervarix is said to be 92% effective against HPV 16 and 18. HPV types 6 and 11 are considered as the cause for 90% reason for all genital warts issues. HPV 16 and 18, on the other hand, are considered as the cause for 70% of all cervical cancer issues. The vaccine aims to particularly block the causes of the cancer (such as the HPV) to even get to the core. (more…)

Lymphoma is a cancer of the lymphatic system. The lymph nodes are found in various places around the body. There are multiple areas of the lymphatic system that can become cancerous. The area of the lymphatic system that is primarily affected will determine to a great extent, both the treatment and survival rate are determined by where in the body the cancerous cells are located and if they will be able to spread to other areas of the body.

The lymphatic system is made up of lymph nodes, lymphocyte cells, bone marrow of the thymus and long bones, the spleen, tonsils and adenoids as well as the lymph. (more…)

Cancer happens when cells in the body begin to grow and don’t stop. Normal cells grow in a uniform way and cancer cells don’t. They continue to grow and push out the normal cancer cells. There are many kinds of cancer but all cancer has this fact in common. The fact they have this “out-of-control” abnormal growth.

There are a lot of different types of cancer and all of these cancers will act very differently. They can grow at different rates and respond to treatment uniquely. It is very important to make sure you treat the different cancers with the correct treatment for that type of cancer.

Cancer cells can break away from a tumor (cluster of out of control cells) and spread to other parts of the body using the blood or lymph system to travel. They can then start attacking new parts of the body forming new tumors. This is then called metastatsis. Metastatsis is what this is called when cancer spreads throughout the body in this way.

Prostate cancer is only found in men and it effects the male reproductive system, mainly for men over 50. With prostate cancer the cells spread from the prostate to other parts of the body. It is one of the most common cancers in men. There are many different treatments for prostate cancer. In this article I will point out some of the most common and latest treatments.

The general treatments for all types of cancers are chemotherapy, radiation therapy and surgery, but there are also many other treatment options for prostate cancer that are not so widely known and used. The more people know about cancer treatments the better their chances will be to beat cancer. So every bit of information is very useful and important. (more…)
