Fast Therapy For the Cure or Prevention of Cancer and Other Diseases

The fear of being diagnosed with a disease sometimes is much more than the diagnoses itself. This does not have to be so these days because a therapy has been developed which cures, prevents and remedy a whole lot of disease like cancer, diabetes, arthritis, herpes, acne, hemorrhoids etc. The natural cancer remedies therapy which has been developed for remedying of most infections is very effective you will think you have stumbled on gold.

Through various researches and studies it has been discovered that the eradication of diseases and disorders that make life unbearable for us can be a thing of the past. Many people are unable to live life to the full because of diseases that are easily curable and preventable. That the natural cancer remedies therapy without sensationalism can deal with these ailments is a plus to the society.

You are set to be liberated from the strongholds of disease that plague mankind only if you will take action as soon as possible. It gives me a lot of concern to see that so many people have the option of getting themselves back into a healthy state still overlook opportunities that are tailor made for them. But I am hoping this will not be your case.

This therapy employs natural means for curative, prevention and remedying. Oxygen which is naturally abundant in the atmosphere cannot be absorbed at the same rate by everyone. In most people there has to be a higher concentration of oxygen than is normally available in the atmosphere. Natural cancer remedies therapy creates an environment within the body to make the absorption of oxygen easy. In this environment damaged body cells are restored back to life.

Carbon monoxide and lactic acid are released from the body through the application of the natural cancer remedies system. This system is very easy to understand there is no need of any special tutorials or classes because any normal person can understand its workings. Although oxygen administration systems are mostly used in the hospitals there are home made systems which can be recommended by doctors.

Pomegranates Could Be the Next Treatment for Breast Cancer

Pomegranate juice could be the next estrogen-responsive breast cancer treatment. A new lab study has demonstrated promising results when evaluating the use of pomegranate juice, a juice rich in antioxidants, as a way of fighting off and preventing breast cancer.

More than 75 percent of all breast cancer cases are fed by estrogen and there are over 400,000 women dieing annually, around the world, from breast cancer. Researchers with Ohio State University focused on the benefits of pomegranates in the breast cancer fight. The team discovered the large red fruit filled with juicy seeds naturally produces a chemical known as ellagic acid, which seems to help slow and even prevent the growth of cancer cells in breast tissue.

According to researchers, the pomegranate has recently been noted for its antioxidants and potential cancer fighting attributes, as well as its heart healthy benefits. However, the study recently published in Cancer Prevention Research is the first to take a look at the affects of the pomegranate on breast cancer and aromatase, an enzyme that plays a key role in making estrogen and promoting the growth of breast cancer.

In a lab, the team studied the effects of ten ellagitannin-derived compounds produced by pomegranates, which are thought to potentially prevent estrogen-related breast cancer. They considered the effects of the ten compounds on the growth of breast cancer cells and aromatase activity. Of the ten ellagitannin-derived compounds studied, the researchers discovered urolithin B was the standout in the fight against breast cancer.

Researchers have created a scale called the Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity scale (ORAC) which measures the antioxidant level in fruits and vegetables. Dr. David Hnida, a CBS3 medical editor said, “The higher the number on the scale, the more antioxidants and disease-fighting chemicals in the food.” Researchers have measured antioxidant levels in over 200 different fruits and vegetables. Those at the top of the list include blueberries, plums, blackberries, raspberries, dark grapes, apples and strawberries.

While experts aren’t recommending substituting pomegranates for prescribed medicine yet, we may see the fruit being used in breast cancer treatment and prevention efforts eventually. Many experts in the cancer field see the test results as very promising. However, according to Powel Brown, M.D., Ph.D., chairman of the clinical cancer prevention department at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, who was not involved in the pomegranate and breast cancer study, “More research on the individual components and the combination of chemicals is needed to understand the potential risks and benefits of using pomegranate juice or isolated compounds for a health benefit or for cancer prevention.” In the meantime, women may want to add a daily pomegranate to their daily diet as an extra effort to ward off the leading form of cancer found in women.

Man whose son fled Minn. to avoid chemo has cancer

SLEEPY EYE, Minn. – A Minnesota man whose son fled the state because his parents wanted to avoid courtc ordered chemotherapy said Wednesday that he has cancer but isn't ruling out chemotherapy.

Anthony Hauser, 55, of Sleepy Eye, told reporters at his farm that he was diagnosed last month with a rare and aggressive form of leukemia. For now, he is treating the disease with blood transfusions and dietary therapies, similar to what he and his wife first wanted for their 14-year-old son, Daniel.

But Hauser said he isn't ruling out later chemotherapy or radiation.

"It's up to God, I guess, what happens, but I'm just going to take it one day at a time, one step at a time," he said.

His wife fled to California with Daniel early last year after a judge ordered the boy to undergo chemotherapy for Hodgkin's lymphoma, which his doctors said was highly curable but would likely be fatal without treatment. His parents wanted to use alternative therapies.

The case made national headlines and triggered a debate over the rights of parents to make medical decisions for their children.

Daniel and his mother returned home after a week on the run, and he underwent conventional treatment. He remains in remission and is doing well with no signs of cancer, his parents said.

His parents acknowledged Wednesday that their son benefited from the court-ordered treatment. But they maintain that without the strict diet they put him on — and have kept him on — the chemotherapy and radiation might not have worked.

Anthony Hauser said he began feeling fatigued in February and lost about 35 pounds, but regained some weight on a diet heavy on leafy greens and nuts, with no animal fats or sugars. The diet is similar to his son's.

He and his wife, Colleen Hauser, said they face severe financial hardships because he hasn't been able to work because of his illness, they have minimal insurance and she had their ninth child two months ago.

"It's hard, it's hard," she said. "Words can't describe it. Because first now our son, now Tony himself."

Green Tea May Reduce Lung Cancer Risk—Even for Smokers

For thousands of years, the people of China, Japan, India, and Thailand have consumed green tea and used it medicinally to treat everything from headaches to flatulence. In fact, the ancient Chinese proverb, “better to be deprived of food for three days, than tea for one,” gives us an idea of how much they believed in its curative abilities. Over the past few decades, however, research in both Asia and the West has begun providing scientific evidence of green tea’s numerous health benefits.

As a whole, studies indicate that regular consumption of green tea may slow or prevent conditions including high cholesterol, heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis, impaired immune disease and liver disease. In addition, some studies have indicated green tea may have cancer-fighting properties, lowering the rate of gastric, esophageal, and mouth cancers. And in a conference this week sponsored by the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) and the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC), researchers reported that Taiwanese smokers who consumed one cup of green tea each day significantly reduced their chances of developing lung cancer.

For their study, Dr. I-Hsin Lin, of Chung Shan Medical University in Taiwan, and her colleagues recruited 170 people with lung cancer and 340 healthy patients as controls. The participants completed questionnaires regarding their lifestyle habits, including how much they smoked, how much green tea they drank, their dietary intake of fruits and vegetables, cooking practices and family history of lung cancer. They also underwent genotyping on insulin-like growth factors: IGF1, IGF2, and IGFBP3, all of which have been reported to be associated with cancer risk.

The results showed that both smokers and non-smokers who did not drink green tea were 5 times more likely to develop lung cancer compared to those who drank at least one cup of green tea per day. Smokers who did not drink green tea at all were more than 12 times more likely to be diagnosed with lung cancer than those who drank at least one cup of green tea per day. However, the protection was greatest for those carrying certain genes. Green tea drinkers, whether smokers or non-smokers, with non-susceptible IGF1 (CA)19/(CA)19 and (CA)19/X genotypes reported a 66 percent reduction in lung cancer risk compared with green tea drinkers carrying the IGF1 X/X genotype.

Lin explained that green tea’s cancer-fighting benefits are due to its rich concentration of chemicals called polyphenols, notably a catechin called as epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), which acts as a powerful antioxidant. “Tea, particularly green tea, has received a great deal of attention because tea polyphenols are strong antioxidants, and tea preparations have shown inhibitory activity against tumorigenesis,” she said. “Our study may represent a clue that in the case of lung cancer, smoking-induced carcinogenesis could be modulated by green tea consumption and the growth factor environment.”

But cancer experts say the findings don’t change the fact that smoking is bad for health and shouldn’t be used as an excuse to continue smoking. “Smoking tobacco fills your lungs with around 80 cancer-causing chemicals. Drinking green tea is not going to compensate for that,” said Yinka Ebo, of Cancer Research UK. “Unfortunately, it’s not possible to make up for the harm caused by smoking by doing other things right like eating a healthy, balanced diet. The best thing a smoker can do to reduce their risk of lung cancer, and more than a dozen other cancer types, is to quit.”

More people, both male and female, die from lung cancer than from any other type of cancer. In 2005 (the most recent year for which statistics are available), 196,687 people in the United States were diagnosed with lung cancer, and 159,217 died from it. About 90 percent of lung cancer deaths in men and almost 80 percent of lung cancer deaths in women are due to smoking.

Vaginal Cancer Treatment

There are a variety of ways that vaginal cancer is treated. Treatment will vary from patient to patient depending upon these factors:

  • general health of the patient
  • the type of vaginal cancer
  • the stage of the vaginal cancer
  • whether the patient has had a hysterectomy or still has uterus
  • whether the patient has had pelvic radiation in the past


  • Once this factors have been determined, a treatment plan can be organized. Once a doctor recommends treatment, a second opinion may be required by the patient's insurance company. This is standard procedure for most companies. Many times the patient will request a second opinion.

    Vaginal Cancer Treatment Methods

    Many times, several different types of treatment will be used to treat vaginal cancer. For example, a patient may have surgery, then pelvic radiation therapy. This is not uncommon.

    Surgery is a common vaginal cancer treatment method. There are several types of surgeries used to treat vaginal cancer, such as:

  • Laser Surgery Laser surgery involves the use of a light beam to ast as a knife to remove abnormal tissue.

  • Wide Local Excision A wide local excision is surgery that removes the abnormal tissue and some of the healthy tissue around it.

  • Vaginectomy A vaginectomy is the surgical removal of all or part of the vagina.

  • Total Hysterectomy A total hysterectomy is the removal of the cervix and uterus.

  • Lymphadenectomy During a lymphadenectomy, the lymph nodes are removed and then examined for the presence of cancer.

  • Pelvic Exenteration Pelvic exenteration is the surgical removal of the colon, bladder, and rectum. For women, the vagina, cervix, ovaries, and lymph nodes are removed as well.

    Chemotherapy

    Chemotherapy is the use of drugs that either kill cancer cells or preventing the cells from dividing. Chemotherapy can be given in a variety of ways, with IV infusion and pill being more common. The type of chemotherapy given depends on the stage and type of vaginal cancer.

    Radiation Therapy

    Radiation therapy is the use of certain types of energy, radiation is used to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. This energy can be waves or particles like protons, electrons, x-rays and gamma rays.

    Radiation can be given internally or externally. The type of radiation given depends on the stage and type of vaginal cancer.

    What Do I Need to Do to Reduce My Risk of the H1N1 Virus?

    There are several things you can to do to reduce your risk of being exposed to the H1N1 virus. It is important that other people who you live with or associate with on a daily basis follow these tips to help reduce your exposure. These are very simple tips that don't require much more effort than your oncologist probably already recommends.

    • Wash hands with soap and warm water frequently. Don't forget areas under wristwatches or rings.
    • If you soap and water are not available, use an alcohol based hand sanitizer. Soap and water is always the first choice, but if you can't wash your hands, at least use a hand sanitizer. These products are usually found in the liquid soap aisles of retailers. They come in small, travel sizes and also on keychains.
    • Cough or sneeze into your shoulder or arm and ask that those around you to do the same.
    • Avoid people who have flu-like symptoms. If you have come in contact with someone with the flu, alert your doctor. There is no need to panic, but your doctor may want to give provide preventive care, depending on your exposure and its risks.
    • Don't touch your eyes, nose, or mouth. If you have to do so, try to wash hands before and after.
    • Consider limiting your time with small children, if possible. Children may be contagious for longer periods of time than adults. They are also exposed more frequently to viruses because of the amount of people they are around every day, and because their personal hygiene standards generally aren't as strict. If you are a parent, teach your children how to properly wash his hands and cough into his shoulders or arms.

    What People With Cancer Need to Know About the H1N1 Virus

    The novel 2009 H1N1 virus, also referred to as the "swine flu," is a major health concern for most people -- especially people with cancer. Many myths exist about the H1N1 virus, but one thing remains true: it can be serious and fatal in those with compromised immune systems. This includes people undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

    You should also know that more common strains of seasonal flu can be equally serious in cancer patients who are undergoing these cancer treatments, so taking extra precautions during flu season is highly recommended.
