<description><![CDATA[ <br />Many cancer patients are told the food they eat has nothing to do with cancer and just to eat a balanced diet. Unfortunately this is not so and there is ample evidence to say what you put in your mouth can have a major influence on the outcome of cancer. A survey of doctors fresh out of medical school revealed that half had less than 1 week's tuition on food as it is related to our health and the other half had none.<br /><br />"We are what we eat," or the food we eat on a daily bases is the foundation of our health. The typical western diet is not known for its health giving qualities as it has many faults. It is without doubt the dominant factor in the development of all cancers and for someone newly diagnosed with the problem and wants a genuine cure, it is essential to choose their food very carefully.<br /><br />Extensive research published in the last decade alone proves that what you eat can have a profound effect on your protection against cancer. We humans are designed to eat mainly freshly grown fruit and vegetables, a few grains, some nuts and an occasional treat which is the diet of people living in primitive societies where cancer is unheard of.<br /><br />The food we eat now days is mainly processed and all of this food has been interfered with by man. We also consume large amounts of dairy products all made from cows milk and cow's milk is perfectly designed for a different species. Then there is our high consumption of refined sugar which is in many of our food items and most of our drinks, not forgetting the large amounts of fat and salt we also consume. These last 3 items are all well known contributors to the onset of cancer.<br /><br />Other foods to avoid if you are dealing with cancer is pressed meats that contain the food additive sodium nitrate. It's a preservative used to extend the products shelf life and is also used in other meats like sausages, hamburgers, hot dogs and bacon. Likewise don't eat food that's been cooked by smoking, smoke is carcinogenic. Pickle food has also been blamed for contributing to cancer.<br /><br /> We have health problems today that didn't exist a few years ago and some examples are; diabetes, obesity, heart disease, cancer and they are all caused by our wrong food choices. Cancer has other contributing factors as well, like our sedentary lifestyle which is our lack of exercise and the toxic chemicals we are in contact with daily, but the food we eat certainly has a major influence on the disease.<br /><br />It is never too late to do something about it as the human body has an amazing built in repair system called the immune system which has remarkable healing powers when given the right conditions. A change in the food you eat to freshly grown fruit and vegetables, many of which are known to have cancer fighting properties is a great start and can help rid the body of cancer forever.<br /><br /><br />--<br />Alan Wighton is an independent health researcher, having spent many years specialising in cancer.

<description><![CDATA[ You've got cancer, are words, nobody wants to hear and naturally most people will turn to someone they trust to help them with their problem. Before you except any treatments for your cancer there are many important facts you need to know but unfortunately you are not likely to be informed of these facts from you health professional.<br /><br />While our medical professionals are very good at diagnosing and monitoring cancer the response from their mainstream treatments is very poor. Also there is nothing in those 3 treatments of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy that will stop the cancer spreading or returning, because they are only treating the symptoms of a problem instead of the problem itself.<br /><br />All cancers happen for a reason as it's not some mysterious disease that science can't fathom. All the causes of cancer are well known and have been well known for decades and it's far more important to find these causes and address them. By doing so will strengthen the body, or more importantly the immune system and it will rid the body of cancer permanently. Our immune system is our superbly designed repair system that keeps us healthy and cancer free. All cancers are simply a disease of a weak immune system which has allowed cancer cells to proliferate and it's been weakened by the way we now live.<br /><br />The 3 treatments you will only be offered now days all damage the immune system and that's why these are not very effective at achieving a permanent cure. They target the cancer growths and give scant regard to the all important reason why cancer appeared in the first place. <br /><br />Natural ways to overcome cancer have a much higher success rate than orthodox treatments because natural ways all treat the body or the reason why the cancer first appeared. There is one thing we know the human body can do and that is miraculously heal itself if given the right conditions. This natural approach is called using common sense, something that few people are using.<br /><br />Effective ways to overcome cancer require a change in the way you live, especially with the food you eat and while that is not an easy task for some people; thousands have made those necessary changes and have beaten the disease. It just does not make sense to weaken the body further when a person is already undergoing a major health challenge. What the body needs is gentle treatments that strengthen the body which enhances the immune system and if carried out properly, has amazing results.<br /><br />Cancer is an entirely preventable and curable disease and our modern medical approach is not necessary the most effective way to treat someone with the problem.<br /><br /><br />--<br />Alan Wighton is an independent health researcher, having spent many years specializing in cancer.

<description><![CDATA[ <br />The most important part of any orthodox cancer treatments you will be offered is it must make a profit. Unfortunately we live in a world where the dollar reigns supreme, our entire lives and everything we do revolve around money, so why would it be any different with cancer? It is not.<br /><br />If you or someone you care about are dealing with cancer, there are many facts you need to know to be able to successfully overcome it and the more information you gain and the more you get involved the greater the chance you will have of surviving the disease. There is no way you should blindly put your life in someone else's hands and except just what's on offer without knowledge. <br /><br />All cancers happen for a reason and they are caused by a change in your genes but those changes are brought about by our lifestyle and environment factors. It is caused by bad diets, smoking, exposure to carcinogenic substances and our lack of exercise. Cancer cannot develop in a healthy body.<br /><br />It is very rare for cancer to only have one cause, it's more typically caused by the following; nutritional deficiencies, toxins in our environment, our sedentary lifestyle and emotional conflict. Faulty nutrition is singularly the most important causative factor in the development of all cancers.<br /><br />Cancer was an exceptionally rare disease many years ago and has now become a major problem, but mainly in the industrialized world. Look at the changes in the food we now eat. Our diets are loaded with processed food and many of these items contain refined sugar, salt or fat. These are all known contributors towards cancer. Refined sugar actually feeds cancer cells and that was discovered over 70 years ago and it's very sad that we are not told this. Other food items that contribute to cancer are pressed or processed meats and nearly all of these contain the food additives sodium nitrate or sodium nitrite. They are carcinogenic and no one will tell us that either. <br /><br />Our immune system, which is our built in repair system has a very important role in why there is so much cancer and also, it's only through the immune system that you can become totally cancer free. All cancers are a result of an immune system that didn't destroy mutant cancer cells because it had been weakened. How do you strengthen it? There are many ways and a little exercising everyday is one of them. The immune system needs muscular activity to keep it in peak performance and you do that by getting some exercise.<br /><br />We now have access to over 70,000 synthetic chemicals, most of which have been extracted from crude oil. Many of these chemicals we use on our skin as they are in personal care products and when applied, is the perfect delivery system into our blood stream. The skin is not an impermeable barrier and these products are absorb into our body the same way as medical patches work like anti nausea patches. These chemicals do cause us harm.<br /><br />Any genuine treatments have to revolve around the 7 necessities of life and they are fresh air, clean water, rest, exercise and sunshine. A little sunshine helps cure cancer and doesn't cause it. Also fresh healthy fruit and vegetables for food, and hopefully a happy heart, that is, seek help to address any emotional stress related problems.<br /><br />A person when newly diagnosed with cancer is already undergoing a major health crisis and it just doesn't make sense to tax the body further with toxic treatments. The human body is a miraculous living item and even as we slowly learn more about it we will never fully understand it completely because of its complexities. With that in mind, doesn't it make sense to turn to nature to help you overcome cancer?<br /><br /><br />--<br />Alan Wighton is an independent health researcher, having spent many years specialising in cancer.

<description><![CDATA[ We have been ‘programmed' by our culture to rely on doctor's intervention to cure us when we get cancer, as we have blind faith in our medical system and their treatment of all diseases. With certain medical problems doctors do have success but unfortunately it's not always with cancer and their cure rate nowadays is less that 5 percent. While their diagnosis of cancer is very good, their treatment of the disease is poor, as they only treat symptoms (the cancer growth) and this does nothing to help the patient or stop the cancer from returning.<br /><br />Treating the root causes of a problem is much more important than treating the obvious immediate symptoms. Treating only symptoms will simply cover up the real underlying problem and make it worse so that it may reappears later as something much more sinister. There are many other problems with our mainstream method of treating cancer as well.<br /><br />There has always been other genuine ways to treat cancer which you won't be told because no one can make any money out of them, unlike the treatments of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. These 3 treatments are in place today because they're profitable, not because they heal and that is a very sad fact.<br /><br />Natural cancer treatments cannot be patented therefore no one can control the price. They all use the power of our built in repair system, our immune system, which we are all born with and is with us right through life. It's because of our lifestyle nowadays that our immune system has been weakened and allowed cancer cells to develop.<br /><br />This genuine treatment for cancer focuses on the 7 necessities of life and they are; fresh air, clean water, sunshine, exercise, rest, clean raw fruit and vegetables for food and hopefully a happy heart. This treatment will remove cancer faster that any drug in existence and the beauty of this treatment is no one can make any money out of it. The best doctor you have is your own body through your immune system. The human body has a remarkable disposition to ward off and repair all diseases including cancer through our immune system.<br /><br />With our standard orthodox treatments it is not logical to weaken a patient further with surgery, radiation or chemotherapy, especially when a patient is already undergoing a major health challenge. Any person who chooses this natural cancer treatment instead of subjecting their body to toxic treatments has a much greater chance of beating the disease.<br /><br />While fighting cancer with natural treatments is not an easy task, because it requires changes, millions of people worldwide have done it successfully to overcome cancer. Fighting cancer is easier if you are mentally prepared and fully educated on the subject.<br /><br /><br />--<br />Alan Wighton is an independent health researcher, having spent many years specialising in cancer.

<description><![CDATA[               Prostate cancer begins as a tumor develops in the prostate.  Prostate Cancer that spreads outside the prostate gland to the lymph nodes, bones, or further areas is called metastatic prostate cancer. Unfortunately at this time, no treatments can cure advanced prostate cancer.  Doctors however do have ways to help manage its spread and related symptoms.<br /><br />Any methods that slow down advanced prostate cancer usually have a lot of side effects that can sometimes be more debilitating than the prostate cancer itself.  Older individuals usually choose not to treat their advanced prostate cancer because of these side effects.<br /><br />Hormone Therapy for Prostate Cancer:<br /><br />The male hormone testosterone stimulates the prostate cancer growth.  Reducing testosterone levels is usually the first form of treatment if the prostate cancer has spread to other parts of the body.  A reduction in testosterone can slow the growth of prostate cancer cells and shrink prostate cancer tumors.   Hormone therapy can risks include loss of sex drive, impotence and weakened bones.  Typically most patients using hormone therapy to treat prostate cancer become less responsive to its benefits over time (hormone therapy resistance).<br /><br />Chemotherapy for Advanced Prostate Cancer:<br />Until recently the only treatment for prostate cancer was hormone therapy, however now those suffering from advanced prostate cancer have a single chemotherapy drug:  Taxotere.  Taxotere (given with the steroid prednisone) can hinder cancer cells from dividing and growing.  Like any other chemotherapy Taxotere side effects include nausea, hair loss, deficient bone marrow and the decline (or stopping) of red blood cell formation.  Taxotere has been known to extend a patient's life from several months all the way up to several years.<br /><br />Prostate Cancer Surgery:<br /><br />If an individual has reoccurring or advanced prostate cancer they may choose to have the entire prostate gland removed.  This surgical procedure is called a radical prostatectomy.  Along with the removal of the prostate gland surgeons will usually remove the lymph nodes surrounding the prostate as well.<br /><br />If the prostate cancer has not spread beyond the prostate gland Cyrosurgery may be used to kill the cancer cells.  Cyrosurgery uses extremely cold temperatures to freeze and effectively destroy the cancer cells.<br /><br />In an effort to reduce testosterone levels in the body permanently doctors may suggest removing the testicles.  This procedure is called an orchiectomy.  Patients who receive this surgery may choose get prosthetics inserted that have the same shape and size of the testicles.<br /><br />Cutting Edge Treatment for Prostate Cancer:<br /><br />One of the exciting new treatments for advanced prostate cancer that is currently being developed involves using genetically modified viruses and Prostate-Specific Antigen .  Here's how it works.  The patient is injected with a modified virus that contains PSA (prostate-specific antigen).  When the body's immune system encounters this virus it learns that this virus is dangerous and must be attacked.  Since this virus has PSA characteristics in it researchers hope that the immune system will also attack prostate cancer cells that contain PSA, thus strategically destroying prostate cancer cells.  This form of treatment is so promising because it could prove to be very effective with very few side effects.  Only time will tell of course.<br /><br /><br />--<br />Here are some other helpful resources on <a href="http://www.prostatecancerblog.info/">advanced prostate cancer treatment</a> and <a href="http://www.prostatecancerblog.info/">prostate cancer recovery</a><br><br>Source: <a href="http://www.articletrader.com/">http://www.articletrader.com</a> ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ According to the National Cancer Institute, the following tests and procedures may be used to examine the thyroid, neck, and blood to detect (find) and diagnose thyroid cancer, and decide on appropriate thyroid cancer treatments:<br /><br />Physical exam and history: An exam of the body to check general signs of health, including checking for signs of disease, such as lumps or swelling in the neck, voice box, and lymph nodes, and anything else that seems unusual. A history of the patient's health habits and past illnesses and treatments will also be taken.<br /><br />Laryngoscopy: A procedure in which the doctor checks the larynx (voice box) with a mirror or with a laryngoscope. A laryngoscope is a thin, tube-like instrument with a light and a lens for viewing. A thyroid tumor may press on vocal cords. The laryngoscopy is done to see if the vocal cords are moving normally. <br /><br />Blood hormone studies: A procedure in which a blood sample is checked to measure the amounts of certain hormones released into the blood by organs and tissues in the body. An unusual (higher or lower than normal) amount of a substance can be a sign of disease in the organ or tissue that makes it. The blood may be checked for abnormal levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). TSH is made by the pituitary gland in the brain. It stimulates the release of thyroid hormone and controls how fast follicular thyroid cells grow. The blood may also be checked for high levels of the hormone calcitonin which may necessitate parotid gland surgery depending on several factors.<br /><br />Blood chemistry studies: A procedure in which a blood sample is checked to measure the amounts of certain substances, such as calcium, released into the blood by organs and tissues in the body. An unusual (higher or lower than normal) amount of a substance can be a sign of disease in the organ or tissue that makes it.<br /><br />Radioactive iodine scan (RAI scan): A procedure to find areas in the body where thyroid cancer cells may be dividing quickly. Radioactive iodine (RAI) is used because only thyroid cells take up iodine. A very small amount of RAI is swallowed, travels through the blood, and collects in thyroid tissue and thyroid cancer cells anywhere in the body. Abnormal thyroid cells take up less iodine than normal thyroid tissue. Areas that do not absorb the iodine normally (cold spots) show up lighter in the picture made by the scan. Cold spots can be either benign (not cancer) or malignant, so a biopsy is done to find out if they are salivary gland cancer or other type of cancer.<br /><br />Ultrasound exam: A procedure in which high-energy sound waves (ultrasound) are bounced off internal tissues or organs and make echoes. The echoes form a picture of body tissues called a sonogram. The picture can be printed to be looked at later. This procedure can show the size of a thyroid tumor and whether it is solid or a fluid -filled cyst. Ultrasound may be used to guide a fine-needle aspiration biopsy.<br /><br />CT scan (CAT scan): A procedure that makes a series of detailed pictures of areas inside the body, taken from different angles. The pictures are made by a computer linked to an x-ray machine. A dye may be injected into a vein or swallowed to help the organs or tissues show up more clearly. This procedure is also called computed tomography, computerized tomography, or computerized axial tomography.<br /><br />MRI (magnetic resonance imaging): A procedure that uses a magnet, radio waves, and a computer to make a series of detailed pictures of areas inside the body. This procedure is also called nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (NMRI).<br /><br />PET scan (positron emission tomography scan): A procedure to find malignant tumor cells in the body. A Los Angeles oncologist injects a small amount of radioactive glucose (sugar) into a vein. The PET scanner rotates around the body and makes a picture of where glucose is being used in the body. Malignant tumor cells show up brighter in the picture because they are more active and take up more glucose than normal cells do.<br /><br />Fine-needle aspiration biopsy of the thyroid: The removal of thyroid tissue using a thin needle. The needle is inserted through the skin into the thyroid. Several tissue samples are removed from different parts of the thyroid. A pathologist views the tissue samples under a microscope to look for cancer cells. Because the type of thyroid cancer can be hard to diagnose, patients should ask to have biopsy samples checked by a pathologist who has experience diagnosing thyroid cancer. <br /><br />Surgical biopsy: The removal of the thyroid nodule or one lobe of the thyroid during surgery so the cells and tissues can be viewed under a microscope by a pathologist to check for signs of cancer. Because the type of thyroid cancer can be hard to diagnose, patients should ask to have biopsy samples checked by a pathologist who has experience diagnosing thyroid cancer.<br /><br /><br />--<br />The Center for advanced head$neck oncology treats with a team of experts including specialists in surgery, radiation oncology, medical oncology, endocrinology, radiology, interventional radiology, speech therapy, physical therapy, nutrition, plastic and reconstructive surgery, dental and maxillofacial prosthetics, pain management.For more information please visit : http://www.advancedonc.com/<br><br>Source: <a href="http://www.articletrader.com/">http://www.articletrader.com</a> ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ <br /><br /><br />Have you ever wondered why there is so much colon cancer around today? A hundred years ago it was almost unheard of; it was rare, so why not look at what has changed over those hundred years that is causing the problem. There are many useful changes one can make and they are removing the known causes and with the amazing self-healing powers of our immune system, which we were born with and are with us throughout life, the body can heal and can become cancer free.<br /><br />All cancers including colon cancer have 4 main causes and they are our wrong food choices, the toxic chemicals we encounter everyday, our sedentary lifestyle or our lack of exercise and lastly emotional stress or not letting go of a problem we may have. Let's look at each one of these.<br /><br />The natural foods for the human body are freshly grown fruit and vegetables, whole grains and nuts. Our diets have changed vastly over the last hundred years and now days we eat mainly processed foods, including lots of meat and dairy products. All processed foods are nutritionally dead food because they are old and there is proof to that. Also most of them contain a high proportion of fat, salt or refined sugar and all those items are known contributors to all cancers. Most importantly, there is a direct relationship between colon cancer and the consumption of meat because of its lack of fibre, another fact that is well known. Also cooking meat over a high temperature produces a carcinogenic substance called "heterocyclic amines" or HCAs. Cooking on barbeques or hot frypans are examples of that.<br /><br />The chemicals we use everyday that are mostly from the petro-chemicals industry are all affecting our immune system. Probably the worst ones are the personal care products that we apply directly to our skin and because of its porous nature, are absorbed into our bloodstream. Not all chemicals are checked for toxicity and those that are checked, are only checked for short term effects like skin allergies, not long term problems like cancer.<br /><br />Thanks to the ubiquitous motor car and other labour saving devices we don't get the exercise we use to. The television set is also partly responsible as it forms a big part of our entertainment today. Exercise is very important because our built in repair system which is the immune system which everybody has, needs muscular activity for it to function properly. <br /><br />Lastly stress can have a major impact on the human body which can bring on any cancers, not just colon cancer. My suggestion is to seek professional help if you have had a major trauma like the loss of a loved one or a personal or business crisis.<br /><br />Colon cancer does not have a single cause but many contributing factors. That's why not all big meat eaters get colon cancer. By identifying and removing many of the causes the human body can heal itself naturally and permanently.<br /><br />You can only make an informed decision on your treatment if you have the information on the subject to make those decisions. The more you choose to get involved, the greater a difference you will make to the outcome of your disease.<br /><br /><br />--<br />Alan Wighton is an independent health researcher, having spent many years specialising in cancer.

<description><![CDATA[  <br /><br />Have you ever wondered why the immune system is so important to a person newly diagnosed with cancer? An undisputed fact is, all cancers are caused by a weakened immune system that has allowed cancer cells to grow out of control, but unfortunately your doctor won't tell you this.<br /><br />Our immune system is our built in repair system that we were born with and is with us throughout life.  It is there to protect us from bacteria, viruses and other foreign invaders including cancer and even when we have those common medical problems like cuts, bruises or a broken bone the immune system will heal those too. Human beings can not survive without a healthy immune system.<br /><br />The immune system is a complicated and poorly understood defence mechanism. What we do know is it can naturally remove cancer unless it's been weakened by our modern way of living today with our unsuitable food, our toxic chemicals and our lack of exercise. If the body is well nourished it can and will attack cancer cells. The immune system is more complex than our circulatory system which is our heart and blood vessels.<br /><br /> Proof of the importance of the immune system, a person with AIDS which is a virus that destroys the immune system and has no known cure will usually die of a disease that the immune system would normally control. Two of the most common problems AIDS patients die of are pneumonia or a rare type of cancer called Kaposi's sarcoma.<br /><br />As we age the immune system naturally weakens and this is why cancer is prevalent in people around middle age. Pregnant women also have a naturally suppressed immune system because of their pregnancy and many women have been diagnosed with cancer soon after the birth of a child.<br /><br />The human body is a miraculous living item and even as medical science slowly learn more about it they will never fully understand its inner workings completely because of its complexities. So with that in mind, doesn't it make sense to use the healing powers of the human body that we all have and allow the body to remove the cancer, which it will do. When someone is diagnosed with cancer they are already undergoing a major health challenge and what they need is gentle therapies, not treatments that suppress the immune system.<br /><br />It's a pity there wasn't a pill to strengthen our immune system but unfortunately there isn't, there are only natural ways to do that and they are very easy to carry out. Factors that support a strong immune system are freshly grown food that hasn't been processed or interfered with by man. Some examples of super foods are garlic, onions and broccoli. Foods that depress the immune system are refined sugar, too much fat in the diet and junk food. Other ways to boost the immune system are a little exercise everyday and rest.<br /><br />A true cure for cancer will only be achieved when a patient stimulates their own bodies defence system and the only way to do that is live as Mother Nature intended us to live. The most efficient healer the human body has is a correctly functioning natural immune system.<br /><br /><br />--<br />Alan Wighton is an independent health researcher, having spent many years specialising in cancer.

<description><![CDATA[ Colon cancer is a vicious tumor that emerges within the inner wall of the large intestine. Colon cancer may develop from polyps and its early removal can prevent from the cancer. Cancer is an alteration of the normal cells, causing them to grow and multiply at an abnormal rate. If not treated on-time, it may spread further affecting other parts of the body such as lungs, liver, bones, and brain. This cancer is also termed as colorectal cancer when the rectum (end area of colon) is also affected.<br /><br />According to the American Cancer Society, around 112,000 people yearly get affected with colon cancer and 41,000 by rectal cancer, making it the 3rd leading cancer killer in U.S among men and fourth in women. Usually the symptoms of colon cancer may not be detected at an early stage, but you should definitely get yourself a safety check if facing the following:<br /><br />•	Bowel fluctuations, including consistent diarrhea or constipation<br />•	Rectal bleeding<br />•	Blood in your body waste/stool<br />•	Frequent abdomen irritation in the form of contractions, gas, or stomach ache<br />•	Weakness and exhaustion with continuous weight loss<br /><br />Following can be a few causes of colon cancer:<br />•	Smoking, extensive alcohol, and drugs intake greatly increase colon cancer risks.<br />•	Your personal or family medical history may make you vulnerable towards colon cancer.<br />•	Food intake that is high in fats and low in fiber can also be a factor<br />•	Older people, usually above 50, are more likely to develop colon cancer than youngsters<br /><br />HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) is an emerging treatment for colon cancer. A study showed that HRT is capable enough to protect against colon cancer, which is diagnosed in 1 out of every 17 people in the US, making it the third-leading cancer killer of women after lung and breast cancer.<br /><br />The American Association for Cancer Research stated that HRT proved to be beneficial in lowering the potential risks of colorectal cancer. Women who adopted the HRT medications showed a decreased occurrence rate of cancer as compared to the ones not using the medication. It has been verified that HRT in the form of estrogen only or combined with progestin show tremendously positive results in curing colon cancer.<br /><br />To prevent colon cancer, regular screening may be a good precautionary measure. But if it has been detected at a later stage then HRT can greatly help.
