Tom had surgery in which they removed a section of his colon and his surgeon informed him afterwards that he had got it all. What Tom wasn't told was they had got all the cancer they could see but because individual cancer cells are only visible through a microscope there were possibly thousands of rogue cells left behind. He also wasn't told the surgical removal of cancer doesn't address the reasons why the cancer first grew so it won't stop it growing again in the future or shifting to another location.

Tom asked about a change in diet, could it help but was told he needn't make any as they didn't think what he had eaten had anything to do with his cancer. Nobody knew to tell him, the most powerful weapon to overcome any cancer is the food you choose to eat everyday. He also should have been told the connection between refined sugar and cancer. It had been discovered back in 19:31 that cancer cells survive by a process of fermentation and the food item that fuels this process is sugar. Eating refined sugar when you have cancer is like pouring gasoline onto a smouldering fire, it accelerates its growth.

He asked about exercise and once again got a negative response. We need exercise everyday to keep our immune system healthy. All cancers are a disease of a weak immune system which has been weakened by the way we live, especially with our sedentary lifestyle. Our immune system needs muscular activity to keep it working efficiently because it doesn't have a pump like the heart. So with a sluggish immune system it's not going to remove any cancer cells as they reappear again in the future.

There are many other important pieces of information my friend needed to know to aid his recovery and it's a sad fact that our medical professionals who are in charge of our health and healing don't know these facts. That's why doctors get cancer as well and we have had a few examples here where I live. Their treatments of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy only attack the cancer growths and do nothing for the long term survival of any cancer patient.

All cancers were a rare occurrence 40 to 50 years ago where as today 1 in 3 people living in an industrialised country are being diagnosed with the problem. Cancer has many causes and it's not hard to find these causes when you carry out research into the cancer industry. Also our 3 orthodox treatments all damage the immune system, the very mechanism that keeps us health, disease free and cancer free.

The problem of getting information about cancer lies with the training of our health professionals. They are solely taught drug based medicine which is only a money orientated system of treatments. Also we don't have cancer prevention today and that is why it is growing at an alarming rate.

Amygdalin - The Real Natural Product

Apricot pits and many other kinds of seeds contain a natural product that is called amygdalin, which is often used synonymously with laetrile. They are not the same.

Amygdalin consists of the following parts: a benzene ring, a nitrile (cyano) group, and two molecules of glucose together in a side chain. Although these parts can be put together in several ways, only one particular combination is called amygdalin. Chemist are very picky that way.

Laetrile - The Semisynthetic Product

Laetrile consists of the following parts: a benzene ring, a nitrile (cyano) group, and one molecule of glucuronic acid as a side group. The question about what this molecule is can be resolved by simply knowing the origin of the word laetrile. It comes from the detailed name of the molecule, which is laevomandelonitrile.

Why Is This Important?

The body of research on laetrile as a natural cancer cure is littered with confusion about which molecule was used in any one patient group or lab animal experiment. To make matters worse, early researchers campaigned to get amygdalin or laetrile - it is not clear which - approved as a vitamin, B-17.

Vitamin B-17 is now available commercially, although it is almost certainly amygdalin most of the time. Company representatives do not generally know enough about the subject to provide clarity on their own vitamin B-17 products.

Do Laetrile and Amygdalin Have the Same Anticancer Activity?

That is the key question. It can only be answered theoretically, based on the supposed mechanism of action of laetrile. It goes like this:

Enzymes in tumors cleave the glucuronic acid group off of the intact laetrile molecule. The remaining parts then disintegrate spontaneously into two pieces: a molecule of cyanide and a molecule of benzaldehyde. Supposedly, once the cyanide molecule is released inside the tumor, it goes about killing the cancer cells.

Amygdalin breaks apart the same way, after enzymes in the tumor cleave off the glucose side chain. According to this behavior, amygdalin should have the same mechanism of action against cancer as laetrile does.

Enough Chemistry - What is the Bottom Line for Treating Cancer?

Since laetrile is chemically modified from amyglalin, it may occur as a 50-50 mixture of active and inactive forms. For this reason, a stable concentration of amygdalin should provide the best chance for full anticancer activity.

The key word here is stable. If you have a product that is supposed to be vitamin B-17, or amygdalin, or laetrile, it may be giving off an odor of cyanide (like the odor of bitter almonds or of ground up apple seeds). The stronger the odor, the more of the active ingredient it has lost.

Are Laetrile/Amygdalin Valuable a Cancer Treatment?

More than 80 years of research, from several labs and clinics around the world, shows strong support for a positive answer to this question. Another indication is that this treatment, especially in combination with other treatments, became so good that it was made illegal and chased out of the U.S.

The closest laetrile/amygdalin-based treatment clinics have been in Mexican border towns, especially in Tijuana. Unfortunately, legal problems arising because of certain sections of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) have led to closures of some of these cancer clinics.

Natural cancer cures are still as good as they always have been. It is just that getting access to them has become more of a challenge in recent years.

The words breast cancer scares people and someone newly diagnosed with the disease will blindly follow authority without stopping and applying a bit of common sense. What they need is information on the subject so they can make informed decisions on their best treatment options based on knowledge. There are many facts that are known about breast cancer but you are seldom told.

Breast cancer doesn't just happen; it is the result of something you did, so it makes sense that it can be corrected also. To successfully overcome a diagnosis of breast cancer it is much more important to look for the reasons why it occurred in the first place and address those reasons. When you remove the factors that caused the problem the body through the immune system has a natural tendency to heal itself and will remove the cancer without it spreading or returning.

Our bodies are continuing trying to heal themselves and that is with the aid of our built in repair system which is the immune system. Right through life our immune system keeps us healthy as it repairs cuts and bruises, broken bones, infections, diseases and also cancer. But it needs a little help and only you can do that and that is by eating the food that's been designed for human consumption and removing the everyday food items that have contributed to the problem.

Breast cancer is simply a disease of a weak immune system, that's been weakened by the way we now live, especially with our wrong food choices. These are foods that use refined flour and sugar, also the consumption of too much animal fat, salt, caffeine, and alcohol. Lifestyle factors may include constant worry, anger, fear, frustration. Also the chemicals that affect us and they are chlorine, fluoride, pesticides, smoking, and all drugs. All these factors contribute to breast cancer.

There are only natural ways to strengthen the immune system and that is to eat freshly grown fruit and vegetables everyday, most of which have cancer fighting properties, make sure you get adequate rest and sleep, fresh air, sunshine, exercise and lastly a positive attitude towards life which is very important.

Breast cancer is an entirely curable disease but a person must take central responsibility for his or her own health and have an active involvement in the healing process. A change in the way you live is essential, especially with the food you eat because all those factors are the causes of breast cancer today.

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.

"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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

In 1997,Dr. Menon was recruited to become chairman of urology at Henry Ford Hospital to revive the prostate cancer program,Menon and the staff at the VUI would develop robotic procedures in general,( for example bladder,Kidney cancer ) and the prostatectomy in particular,The robotic prostatectomy developed by Menon is called the "Vattikuti Institute Prostatectomy". Specialized Laparascopic instruments are used for the procedures. During the operation
images from a 3-D camera are projected to a remote console.

The surgeons operates in virtual reality,observing the images on a screen.

This technology serves to make the surgery less invasive and more precise.

Dr. Menon has performed nearly 40,000 robotic prostatectomies,and is considered a world authority on the use robotic surgery for prostate cancer.


THE ROBOTIC PROSTATECTOMY :

About the VIP Procedure:---
This is currently our preffered procedure for removal of the prostate.A team of surgeons led by Mani Menon,M.D,performs the operation. We have performed over 4000 such operations over a 7-year period,the word's largest experience. The unique procedure combine the oncological principles of "open " radical prostatectomy with the minimum invasiveness of laparascopic surgery,Established by Dr. Menon.

With the state of the art "da Vinci" system,the surgeon uses a three - dimensional computer vision system to manipulate robotic arms. These robotic arms hold special surgical instruments that are inserted into the abdomen through tiny incisions. A laparascope- a long,thin,lighted telescope- is inserted through one incision and connected to the computer monitor that allows the surgeon to see inside the body.
The three-dimensional view helps the surgeon more easily find and preserve the delicate nerves and muscles that surround the prostate. The robotic arms can rotate a full of 360 degrees. This allows the surgeon to manipulate surgical instruments with greater precision and flexibility.

The prostate,nearby lymph nodes,seminal vesicles and adjacent tissues are removed through the small incisions,which are closed with few stiches. With the robotic technology,surgeons can manipulate instruments with greater precision and flexibility. Most patients go home within 24 hours and return to normal activity within 2 weeks after surgery. Patients walk the evening of surgery and begin a clear diet one day after surgery. Most patients have very little pain after the robotic procedure.
To qualify for this type of surgery,patients must be free of other significant health problems and be within a fairly normal weight range.

The Following side effects can occur any time a prostate is removed. In our experience,they are less with VIP than with open prostatectomy.

-Sexual Function.
-Urinary Continence
-Scarring


MORE ROBOTIC PROCEDURES:---
Smaller incisions ,less scarring ,and faster healing.

Dr. Menon and the surgeons at the Vattikuti Urology Institute are experienced innovators in the use of robotic surgery in improving patient care. We offer the following procedures.

Kidney:

-Robotic Partial Nephrectomy:--
Robotic surgery to remove kidney tumor while preserving the remaining kidney(also called renal-sparing surgery)

-Robotic Radical Nephrectomy:--
Robotic surgery to remove the entire kidney for large tumors or disease.

-Robotic Pyeloplasty :--
Repair of the blockage in the area where the ureter attaches to the kidney.

-Robotic Nephroureterectomy:--
Removal of the kidney and ureter for transitional cell carcinoma involving the kidney or ureter.

-Robotic Pyelolithotomy:
Removal of large kidney stones that fail treatment by other methods.

-Robotic Renal Cyst Decortication:--
Removal of kidney cysts that sometimes cause pain or high blood pressure.


BLADDER:

-Robotic Radical Cystectomy:
Robotic surgery to remove the bladder for large tumors or disease.

One of the most vital measures a lady can take to stop cancer is to maintain a healthy weight through a healthful diet. All ladies should try for a BMI index under twenty-five. Another vital step to help you stop breast cancer is a diet that is completely full of in valuable nutrients. Red Clover is a standard plant with full stems that grows up to sixteen inches tall and is an affiliate of the pea phyllum. Isoflavins are the valuable that cause the red clover plants a strong breast cancer prevention tool. Plenty of the most valuable foods are full of in antioxidants which help cells to attack free radical damage. According to the studies, many dental issues are related to smoking. No, cigarettes are not the sole ones that cause dental issues. If you are one of those people who like to smoke, you better visit your dentist and ask her for recommendation for you to save your teeth. Dental cancer is just like every other sorts of cancers, it can be quite fatal when not treated early.

If youve been smoking for a very long time, you better consider giving up the habit if you'd like to live longer.

Apart from causing oral cancer, smoking can increase the chance of gum illness. Gum illness is the premiere reason of teeth loss among adults today. If you are worried about your teeth and your gums, stop puffing that cigar and learn how to lead a more nutritive life.

Plenty of the most valuable foods are full of in antioxidants which help cells to attack free radical damage.

There are plenty of fruits and veggies that are full of antioxidants which can simply be added to the daily diet. Girls should also eat a diet that is completely full of in the best sorts of fats like Omega three and Omega six greasy acids. One of the most vital actions that ladies can include to help you forestall breast cancer is to quit smoking.

Smoking is one of the largest risk factors in the development of breast cancer among ladies. Ladies over the age of forty need to get regular mammograms, performed by their medicare pros. Ask your physician if you are worried about the mentioned possible dangers and the development of breast cancer.

The following list of some of these active ingredients will endeavour to explain the Aloe Vera and why it makes you feel great.

The Health-Giving Properties Of Aloe Vera Include:

Polysaccharides; These are the most important types of sugars, being complex long-chain sugars involving glucose and mannose (gluco-mannans) which do not get broken down like other sugars (ie glucose, sucrose etc). Instead, they appear in the bloodstream in their original form. Once in the blood stream, they exert their healing and immuno-regulating effects. In the makeup of the total solids found in Aloe Vera, polysaccharides represent approximately 20-25%.

Some of these polysaccharides are not absorbed but stick to certain cells lining the gut and form a barrier preventing absorption of unwanted material, for example this is particularly beneficial in helping prevent 'leaking gut syndrome', as well as a myriad of other conditions. In cancer patients, polysaccharides increase the production of tumour necrosis factor, which is a natural chemical that functions to shut off the blood supply to malignant tumours.

Most commercially produced Aloe Vera contains very little polysaccharides as they are destroyed in the processing phase by either heat or enzymes, or both.

Acemannan (one of the Polysaccharides); Improves cellular metabolism and regulates the flow of nutrients and wastes in and out of the cells. It is known for its ability to restore and boost the immune system by increasing the activity of T-Lymphocytes. Producing immune system agents (interferon and interleukin) which help destroy viruses, bacteria, and tumor cells, as well as parasites and fungus. It is currently being used for treatment of AIDS and Feline leukemia.

Saponins; 'Soap-like' substances which are strong anti-microbial agents, combating bacteria, viruses, fungi, and yeasts, they cleanse and have antiseptic properties.

Lignins; which help Aloe penetrate deeply into the skin to deliver its therapeutic effects.

Cholesterol, Campesterol, Lupeol and B-Sitosterol; these are anti-inflammatory fatty acids from plant sterols which have antiseptic, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory properties. This explains why Aloe is such an effective treatment for burns, cuts, scrapes and abrasions, as well as a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatic fever and ulcers of all kinds, both internal and external.

Dietary Nutrients; Potassium - helps with fluid balance, Calcium - normal muscle contractions and heart health as well as forming healthy teeth and bones, Magnesium - strengthens teeth and bones, maintains healthy muscles and nervous system, activates enzymes, Zinc - accelerates wound healing, mental alertness, assists with healthy teeth, bones, skin, immune system, and is a digestive aid, Manganese - activates enzymes, builds healthy bones, nerves and tissues, Iron - production of haemoglobin in red blood cells, transportation of oxygen throughout the body, Copper - essential for red blood cells, production of skin and hair pigment , Chromium - assists with protein metabolism and balancing of blood sugars, Sodium - regulates body liquids, helps with nerve and muscle performance and with delivering nutrients into cells, Phosphorus - assists with metabolism and body pH.

8 Essential Amino Acids; Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Threonine, Valine, and Tryptophan. The human body requires 22 Amino Acids, the body makes all of them except for the above eight Essential Amino Acids which we must get from our diet.

Salicylic Acid; which is an aspirin-like compound with anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and anti-bacterial properties. It also has the ability to reduce fevers, not unlike the effects of aspirin.

Vitamin A, B & C; These Vitamins are also powerful anti-oxidants which help boost the immune system and fight off free radicals, as well as a host of other benefits to health.

Allantoin; which promotes skin regeneration and healing.

Enzymes; their main function is to break down the proteins we eat into amino acids which then turn the food we eat into fuel for every cell in our body, enabling those cells to function properly. The main enzymes include: Amylase - breaks down sugars and starches, Bradykinase - stimulates immune system, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, Catalase - prevents accumulation of water in the body, Cellulase - aids digestion, Lipase - aids digestion of fats.

Anthraquinones; These are anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and analgesic, the most important anthraquinones are aloin and emodin. They break up unwanted residue such as pus and dead cells, then bring blood to the region and flush out these residues from things like wounds and ulcers. They can also decrease the growth rate of urinary calcium crystals which contribute to the formation of kidney stones.

Researchers believe that they can be unsafe to anybody who works with or around them because the fibers from the asbestos are able to be inhaled. This may induce diseases of the lungs and other essential organs. Unluckily these serious diseases do not always show themselves until much later in life from the time when the people were exposed.

In some individuals it is able to cause scar tissue to back up in their lungs and make it tough and nearly impossible to breathe. The fibers that are able to cause these problems are too small for individuals to observe them without microscopes.

Who is at risk? People who smoke are at an increased risk of acquiring these problems. Also individuals who work un big industries and build things that are made up of products utilizing it are at a great risk. Construction workers might also be exposed to high quantities of the fibers from the building materials that they use every day.

Besides the decrease in lung cancer many health experts believe that asbestos has the ability to induce colon cancer. This is a continuing study that has not been fully established - but numerous think that it has the ability to be induced from drinking tap water and insulation used in the home. Statistics show that 26 out of 2,500 textile workers that utilized asbestos products died from colon cancer.
