Food and Cancer

Cancer is the disease that everybody would like to avoid. Today, many scientists affirm that many types of cancer are provoked by thermophilic yeasts. Those we eat every day with bread, first of all, because the yeasts bread industry uses are THOSE yeasts, composed from all kinds of poisons - chloro etc.

I wanted to learn more about the more healthy foods. Those that can help us to avoid this "cup":Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done'

Here are two interesting information I found researching this theme:

Postmenopausal women who aren't taking hormone therapy and any adults older than 65 years should take even more—1,500 milligrams daily. But remember that the body absorbs calcium best in smaller doses (of 500 milligrams or less). So if you are taking 1,000 milligrams per day, it's best to split the dose and take it twice daily 

Data from the Women's Health Initiative, a long-term study including more than 36,000 women, showed that postmenopausal women who were not consuming adequate calcium at the start of the study but started taking 1,000 milligrams of calcium and 400 International Units of vitamin D each day were 11 percent less likely to gain weight compared with women who took placebo pills. http://vitamin.lifetips.com/cat/62647/calcium/index.html

An other site tells about

3 food groups to begin to lower your risk of cancer. 

1. Fiber Insoluble fiber sticks to free estrogens in the gut, and sweeps them out. Whether you’re trying to shed pounds or fight cancer, you need 35 grams of fiber each day. 

2. Omega-3s Omega-3s are what’s known as essential fatty acids – essential because your body doesn’t produce them.  

3. Cruciferous Vegetables Cruciferous vegetables such as arugula, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, brussels sprouts, bok choy and kale are rich in sulforaphane – one of the primary phytochemicals (protective compounds found in plants) that helps prevent cancer.  (http://healthybodydaily.com/breast-health/dr-oz-breast-cancer-foods-that-fight-breast-cancer)

 The most important ingredients in this sense are called Arugula,Watercress and red cabbage.

When I read about it, I thought about Italy. I don't think there are less cases of cancer in Italy than in other countries. But Italians eat Arugula normally. So, what is wrong with it here?

About Skin Cancer

This summer was not only hard because of too high temperatures. I have some skin problems now. So, I decided to find some information about this kind of cancer. Here are the results of my research:

Exposure to the sun is really a leading reason for cancer, cancer of the skin being probably the most common kind of cancer. It is also probably the most avoidable types, so just make certain to become wise under the sun. Put on a hat to safeguard the face, and try to apply sun block to assist prevent cancer.

The sun's rays could be a major cancer leading to factor for most people.  The sun's rays releases ultraviolet sun rays that go into the earth's atmosphere.  Whenever we step outdoors, the skin we have is uncovered to those sun rays, and an excessive amount of exposure may cause scare tissue that can result in cancer of the skin.  Make sure to safeguard yourself with sunscreen to avoid this.

Cancer of the skin can be quite serious, even deadly.  Malignant Melanoma is really a serious kind of cancer of the skin that frequently can not be healed.  Be positive and also have the skin checked regularly from your physician or skin doctor. They might see places you cannot and look at you for suspicious moles and skin changes.

How Chinese Herbs Aid With Cancer Treatments

This article I received in the mail today and thought, it could be  interesting for those who reads this blog. So, I copy it here.

Cancer treatments can be crucial when it comes to saving lives, but the medications and regimens can be very damaging to the body. Both radiation and chemotherapy target cancerous cells, and through the process of eliminating those bad cells, they can also weaken and kill healthy cells as well. Dr. Edward Lamadrid, Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (DAOM) believes that acupuncture and Chinese herbs used in conjunction with cancer treatments can not only aid in the effectiveness of the drugs, but help reduce the side effects as well.

“While people should not rely solely on Chinese herbs and acupuncture when it comes to treating cancer, these types of ancient Eastern remedies used in conjunction with Western medicine can not only reduce the side effects, but it can make cancer drugs like tamoxifen work more effectively,” notes Dr. Lamadrid.

Before and During Treatment:

Acupuncture and various Chinese herbs can be used to detoxify the body. This allows the chemotherapy drugs that are used to be more effective at ridding the body of cancerous cells. Using herbs during treatments can help patients retain necessary vitamins and nutrients that fight infection and promote wellness, which can help to boost your health before, during and after treatment. Acupuncture has been known to move energy and blood throughout the body, and since blood helps to move medication throughout the body, it is imperative that the circulatory system is working to the best of its ability. Acupuncture simply aids in that natural process.

After Treatment:

The side effects from chemotherapy and radiation can sometimes be as difficult, if not more, than the treatments themselves. The drug tamoxifen has been known to induce early signs of menopause, and hot flashes and insomnia are very common effects of this drug. Acupuncture has been known to ease the onslaught of hot flashes as well as aid in promoting a healthy sleep cycle. Some other side effects of chemo and radiation can be nausea and loss of appetite/upset stomach. Chinese herbs and acupuncture also aid in reducing the effects of nausea and can settle patient’s stomach pains.

About Dr. Edward Lamadrid: He is a doctor of acupuncture and oriental medicine (DAOM) and the founder of Integrative Health Studio in downtown Chicago. Dr. Lamadrid is a pioneer who has devoted over three decades to studying all forms of complementary and alternative medicine. His practice is located in downtown Chicago. He is also the campus director and professor at Pacific College of Oriental Medicine.

Thoughts about Prostate Cancer

What are the most frequent cancer types?
According to the National Cancer Institute, the most frequent is Prostate Cancer. The second has to be Breast Cancer. If you do not read the sites and do not look at the lists, you can notice that these numbers are correct because people speak about THESE types of cancer that happen to their relatives and friends more frequently -even if it's so easy to control the state of own health to prevent them, today.

About a week ago, my friend wrote me about her mother that began to claim pain in the breast. When she was operated, they found cancer in the state that is unpossible to cure. WHY did she not control her breast when every mass media crys about this possibility just for years?

A cousin came to visit my husband today and told him that he, knowing that there are different cases of prostate cancer in the family, goes for controls every year now (he is about 55). Prostate cancer is so easy to diagnose when it is at the beginning! Why do not control it after 45 years?

I asked different friends if they control their health regularly. Do you know what they said me? They have not time for it. They have not time to cure themselves if they will find something. They prefere to die suddenly.
These are the results of my "survey".

We live in the modern society. There is not a shame to check the health. Everybody knows that there are breasts and there are prostates. Death from Cancer is terrible. Only animals have the fortune to be put down. Humans have to live all the terrible pains till the end. Why we do not think about it BEFORE it's too late?

This Friday, February 4 is World Cancer Day

One in two men and one in three women will get cancer in their lifetimes. Isn't it time to take a stand against cancer and change the odds? On Friday, please take a moment to spread the word and help send a global message to end cancer.

This Friday, February 4 is World Cancer Day. To support this awareness-raising initiative, Stand Up to Cancer is calling on all Facebook users to take a virtual stand with their status message.  If you could encourage your readers to participate, it would be greatly appreciated.

Participation is quick and easy:  go to WCD2011.su2c.org and fill in your connection to cancer (e.g. "my mother," "my sister," "John Taylor").  If you are personally in the fight, SU2C suggests you enter the message: "I stand for the end of cancer."  The page will automatically create your World Cancer Day Facebook status for you, similar to the one below:

Ways to Treat Cancer

 Eric, the author of this article, asked me to post it in my blog. Hope the information you will find there will be useful.

Mesothelioma is one of the rarest, most aggressive cancers today. Caused by asbestos exposure, the lung cancer is difficult to treat. Mesothelioma Life Expectancy is often less than a year because of the unusually long latency period of its symptoms.

Mesothelioma is often resistant to traditional chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Therefore it may prove beneficial to those suffering from mesothelioma, and really any cancer, to research and discuss therapy options with their doctors.

Vitamin C

Good for colds and other common ailments, Vitamin C may help to prevent cancer form metastasizing Vitamin C is essential for increasing the immune systems’ effectiveness and for creating collagen. Collagen is a protein that supports and connects tendons and ligaments. It also strengthens bones, and muscles, and blood vessels.

Astragalus

Astragalus is the root of a plant commonly grown in China. The Chinese believe that a combination of astragalus and chemotherapy may slow tumor growth, improve immune system capabilities, and relieve some of the negative chemotherapy side effects.

Ukrain

Ukrain is derived from the combination of the chemotherapy drug Thiotepa and a common root called greater celandine. When administered intravenously, Ukrain may improve the quality of life and life expectancy of some patients.

Iscador

Iscador is a species of European Mistletoe. For centuries, mistletoe has been used to improve health. Iscador may be able to alter the composition of cancer cells, strengthen the immune system, and improve general well-being. It may prevent the cancer from metastasizing in some cases.

Because Mesothelioma symptomsare difficult to diagnose, treatment for patients is often difficult or ineffective. Perhaps with the use of less traditional treatments, like Astragalus, Ukrain, Iscador, and the all-powerful Vitamin C, mesothelioma and other cancer patients can become cancer survivors.

Cancer Cells Recognized by a Chip

 Knowing that many readers of this blog are interested in the research of the possibilities to cure cancer, I decided to publish here the notice I received today. I know not so much about it but I think, I have to share this hope.

This is a very interesting notice for all us: it seems, the researchers found the possibility to make a diagnosis of cancer even if there is only one cancerous cell in the blood of a person. They say, they insert a sort of chip that works like a filter of the blood and is able to recognize ill cells if they pass through it.

The researchers are from Johnson&Johnson, that work with doctors of Massachusetts General Hospital and company Veridex.

Study About Prostate Cancer

This is another notice about cancer research progresses.
Because I become too sensitive to this theme and want to help how I can to make this world free from this suffering, I published just some articles about the researches.
I understand that those who sends me these articles want only publicize books or articles to sell them. So, I think I have to give you the notice. But I am not able to control it. Be

Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in men, and 1 in 6 will get prostate cancer during his lifetime

Since this disease affects so many lives I think your readers will be interested in reading about a recent Columbia University study on a natural compound shown to kill prostate cancer.

The study reported that this natural formula, consisting of vitamins, minerals, multi-herb extracts, and medicinal mushrooms, inhibits cell proliferation and induces apoptosis (programmed cell death) in both hormone-sensitive and hormone-resistant prostate cancer cells. This is extremely important news for men suffering from hormone resistant prostate cancer, as this aggressive form currently has limited treatment options and a high mortality rate. It is equally hopeful for men suffering from the less aggressive forms of prostate cancer because the compound can be used safely in conjunction with conventional treatments.

New Study Shows Coffee May Reduce the Risk of Head and Neck Cancer

My neighbour came to me this evening and told about her father. He does not recognize anybody and began to have blood in the urine. The daughters took him to the doctor...
You understood.
Cancer.

An other mail abut the cancer and research I received after I published my previous post today. I publish it. Even if I am not very convinced by it. But we have to know about the results of the researches.

Cancer Epidemiology journal, Biomarkers and Prevention just released a study which shows that regular coffee drinkers have a 39 percent decreased risk of head and neck cancer. (http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/coffeesmysteriousbenefitsmount.) This follows two studies from the Harvard School of Public Health in 2009 which suggested that coffee can reduce a man’s risk for prostate cancer.

ChicagoHealers.com Practitioner Dr. Melody Hart, ND, PhD, is available for interview on the results of this new study and how coffee may be the new health food.

Other research on and benefits of coffee:

• Harvard research studies also found that downing one to three cups of America’s favorite caffeinated morning beverage can reduce diabetes risk by single digits.
• At least six studies indicate that people who drink coffee on a regular basis are up to 80% less likely to develop Parkinson’s disease.
• Other research show that compared to not drinking coffee at least two cups daily can translate to a 25% reduced risk of colon cancer, an 80% drop in cirrhosis of the liver risk, and nearly half the risk of gallstones.
• There’s also some evidence that coffee may help manage asthma and even control attacks when medication is unavailable, stop a headache, boost a mood and even prevent cavities.
• Plus coffee has a lot of antioxidants such as chlorogenic acid and tocopherols and minerals such as magnesium.
• A group of compounds called quinines that when induced to lab rats increases insulin sensitivity, and that improves the body’s response to insulin.
