Cancer Cures: Is The Medical Establishment Still Failing To Get Results?

I remember seeing the TV series award-winning 'breaking bad' in Albuquerque, New Mexico chemistry teacher, Walter White, masterfully portrayed by Bryn Cranston, who decides to embark on a life of crime with a methamphetamine drug with one of its alumni used, criminal leads to a dark underworld where connections for he and his partner were very learned in...

The raison d ' ĂȘtre

Walter was diagnosed with stage III. He said that he has only 2 years before the deadly disease finally gets to live, tracks that you want to make this life of immorality because it is A lot of money as security for his wife and teenagers cerebral palsy suffering son.

Do I mean all this?

It is not threatening to the diagnosis of the doctor Walter EingestÀndnis debt on behalf of which Center physician failure to pass with a cure for cancer in spite of billions for research for many years.

Let's take a look at the facts

The first thing we must have is the fact that the cancer was in 1900 virtually unknown during the turn of the century in the United States. In the early 1950's, the cancer was about 150 cases per 100,000 population. He rose early cancer of the years 70 deaths to 163 per 100,000 inhabitants, which after much concern made declare then US President Richard Nixon a "war on cancer".

Consequentially, tons of government backed funding got poured into cancer research which escalated over the years. In spite of the billions poured in the result is not only a failure to find a cure but also the cancer deaths figures have increased over the years:

The following is taken from 'Vital Statistics of the US Volume II 1967 - 1992' showing the number of cancer deaths per 100,000 population in the US.

1967 - 157.2

1970 - 162.9

1982 - 187.3

1987 - 198.2

1988 - 198.4

1989 - 201.9

1990 - 203.2

1991 - 204.1

1992 - 204.1

Then, moving to 1997 the number of cancer deaths per 100,000 rose to 220. A further rise was recorded in the year 2000 to 321 (CA Journal for Cancer Clinicians Jan 1997 & OECD Health Data 2010).

I bet you haven't seen these figures in mainstream media. That's because certain individuals don't want you to know this: Since Nixon's war on cancer the equation is simple:

More cancer research = More cancer!

Today's most recent figures show that the cancer death rate has slightly decreased by about 1.5%. Some cancers such as liver and pancreatic cancer have increased, but there have been more cancer incidences. That means more people are getting cancer but living longer.

The 1.5% decrease claim has been questioned by some saying that the decrease could be explained by changing the way the death rate is interpreted and doesn't stand the test of scrutiny... Also, it has been said that one (besides others) explanation for the decline is due to the reduction in young people smoking.

Either way the cancer establishment have failed to look at some major factors that could reduce cancer and in my opinion will never produce significant breakthroughs to lower death and incidents rates if continually ignored.

I've documented these 4 major factors in other articles and they are: Nutrition, outlook on life (the mind, body and spirit connection), exercise and avoidance of toxins, all of which can not only be used for cancer prevention but also in therapies to eradicate the disease...

The saddest thing is that the above 4 factors do not constitute a multibillion dollar industry and I doubt if their effectiveness will ever be seriously considered by the medical establishment's money making model. So, given this, doctors, active for and on behalf of the establishment will not take this route with you and give sound advice related to these vita life-saving factors.

That means, if you are suffering from cancer you're on your own. You have to do your own research make decisions that may have to go against peer pressure and the establishment's bullying tactics... Some people have. I've seen and met a few that have successfully cured themselves of cancer, but be very cautious, judge what's appropriate for you and remember your health and well-being is ultimately up to you.

What Do Oktoberfest, Breast Cancer, Popcorn and Halloween Have in Common?

October is awareness of breast cancer of month, month of awareness of energy, popcorn popcorn, and, of course, Oktoberfest is a celebration of German culture. It seems that summer began a week ago, but it is October! I decided to speak to all of the above in my column this month, so here is what is "new and good" in any of these topics:

Awareness of breast cancer - research on a new class of drugs is labeled "Inhibitors of PARP" the most exciting development in the investigation of the cancer called in more than one decade. I think it has a long, long time after cancer and something called "exciting" is good news. According to the results of a clinical study of 60 patients with breast, ovarian and prostate cancer, last month in the New England Journal of Medicine published some patients whose cancer originally appeared hopelessly dramatic shrinkage or disappearance full of tumors. Many avoid a nasty side effects - nausea. My brother Pat was pleased to avoid this side effect wow!

New England Journal of science is not any conversation. This study was based on the long research and testing by "Inhibitors of the PARP" showing the same drastic reduction of breast, ovarian and prostate cancer. That research! And for every woman who wants to reduce their risk of breast cancer, a Council I learned recently:

Light curve forward, then put your hands under your breasts and "fluff". Yes, exactly, how a pillow fluff would do. It is called lymph, which is free to flow to release toxins from your body, Furthermore, is fun, makes you laugh and finally laughs the best medicine!

Popcorn Popping - Well, if you're one of my students, you'll recognize this one! My Pilates leg series - which builds lean muscle to burn more calories, is difficult, yes, BUT, there's nothing better for losing inches from your Butt, Thighs and Hips. And "Popcorn" is a fun exercise - here's how it's done:

Lie on your side with your head in hand, up on elbow, or weight on your forearm. Make sure your back is straight and then inhale as you slowly raise your top leg toward the ceiling, then exhale as you lower it down, using your toes to tap the floor in front of your bottom leg twice. Repeat your inhale and slow leg raise and then exhale and tap the floor behind your bottom leg twice. Use slow 5 count inhales and exhales for this exercise and keep your hip still. Only your leg moves and it doesn't go too far in front or back for the tapping. Complete at least 6 - 8 rounds of popcorn legs on each side and you'll feel the inches melting away like butter.

Energy Awareness Month - We all take our own personal stand in keeping the planet healthy. My suggestion here would be to combine your own health and the planet's:           

1. Walk or ride your bike to the store or Post Office instead of driving your car.                           
2. Use the stairs instead of elevators when you can.     
3. Use a stainless steel refillable water bottle instead of purchasing those plastic bottles - plastic is a petroleum product. Oil is used to make those bottles!

During sleep has caused higher levels of melatonin, an antioxidant hormones, sleeping, and studies suggest that it can reduce the risk of skin and breast cancer and diabetes. Sleep improves memory and creativity, the ability to find patterns and links to mathematics situations and life of complex tasks. Dreams is also important for memory and processing of events in life. Lean dream, can grow blurred, cloudy, tired and forgetful comba. Yes, the lack of sleep is the loss of weight in pounds and people with disabilities. It dampens sexual desire or libido, especially among women. A dose of preventive medicine in the form of sleep is to stay healthy, active and I'm still feeling young.

Sleep well

Although there is no cure for insomnia, have few restless nights sometimes. On the cause of why they can not sleep, you can quiet sleep more often. There is no one size fits all. Many factors promote or disrupt sleep involved. Nutrition, movement, hormones, neurotransmitters, stress and the environment play a role. Always in the cause, they require some testing, however, there are a lot of things that you can try out on your own. Everything, disturb sleep such as light, can eliminate noise, heat, stress and stimulants and adding things, closer to the magical 6-8 hours sleep take the promotion, which reap a lot of benefits for health, to ensure that healthy aging.

Sleep Promoters

    Calming herbs - Many people have over activity of stimulating neurotransmitters adrenaline and norepinephrine and not enough calming GABA. Studies showed that the combination of valerian, passionflower and hops worked as well as a sedative to help people fall asleep and stay asleep. They slow the breakdown of the neurotransmitter, GABA and restore balance to your nervous system.
    Journaling -Ruminating thoughts can keep you from falling asleep or wake you up. Write down what is on your mind. Add your to do list with what you will do and when. It really works to settle your mind knowing that all is written down. Set an intention that you will receive guidance for the things you are not sure about.
    Lower cortisol - A common reason for sleep disorders is elevation of cortisol at night. This will prevent you from falling asleep or wake you up, depending on when it rises. Cortisol can be measured in saliva in the comfort of your own home. A phospholipid called phosphatidylserine lowers cortisol and protects the brain cells responsible for memory by being damaged from spikes in cortisol. Cortisol can be measured in your saliva. It is valuable to know what your levels are and how they fluctuate throughout the day.
    Lower stress peptides- Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a hormone released during stress. Studies showed that a fixed combination of adaptogens Eleutherococcus senticosus root extract, Schisandra chinensis berry extract, and Rhodiola rosea root extract may increase tolerance and adaption to stress. Taking these herbs can stress guard your nervous system and prevent stimulation that keeps you awake.
    Magnesium - Magnesium induces muscle relaxation and can be calming. It is an abundant mineral and many people have a magnesium deficiency. Take it at night for a calming effect. Start with 200mg and work your way up slowly up to 800 mg. Take less if you get diarrhea or use the form magnesium glycinate that is less likely to cause diarrhea.
    Melatonin - Melatonin is a hormone that promotes sleep. It is rises when it gets dark and is lowered by light. Take a controlled release formula if you have difficulty staying asleep or an immediate release formula if you have trouble falling asleep. Start with a low dose as it may give you vivid dreams. These usually stop after a week or two.
    Stress reduction techniques - Stress induces an imbalance in your sympathetic (stimulating) and parasympathetic (relaxing) nervous system as well as release of other hormones. You can restore balance with yoga, meditation, warm baths with magnesium salts, progressive muscle relaxation, prayer, gentle stretching and other techniques. These can calm your mind and nervous system to prepare you for a restful night's sleep.

Evaluation

There are many causes of sleep disorders. If trying any or all of the above don't work, get a functional medicine evaluation. Sleep apnea can be a cause. There are inexpensive sleep studies that can be done in the comfort of your own home. Have your cortisol as well as estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and melatonin measured. A hormone imbalance can be keeping you awake at night. Loss of progesterone in women and testosterone in men is especially troublesome. Many can benefit from bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. Consult a functional medicine doctor to determine the root cause of your sleep issues so you can sleep soundly and wake up refreshed and clear.

Natural Cancer Protection

Scientists discover what they have been all the time that surround us around - natural food that helps protect your body against cancer and carcinogens that always are all around us. Yes, breast cancer rates have declined by 2% per year, but you have to be more defensive.

Only drinking 24 ounces - white milk, chocolate, cut fat free or low fat - cancer risk by 44% to finish the research. The mixture of milk of calcium and other connections helps healthy cells divide properly, avoid genetic problems that lead before cancer. Green tea and white tea are also good, because they are rich in Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) substance that surrounds the cells of breast cancer and touched it off its blood supply. Try at least two cups of tea a day.

You can also your defenses, twice in the week to eat tuna. Credit goes to Omega-3 fatty acids, fatty acids, which are also found in salmon, sardines, and other oily fish, forcing, abnormal cells to die before they can share and spread. Studies have shown that the risk of breast cancer in one can shorten the canned tuna and other healthy foods to eat as much as 90%!

Black beans can cut your risk of ever developing breast cancer 24% says Harvard Public Health studies. They are fiber rich, filling and packed with flavonols, the compounds that shield and protect breast genes making them less likely to become damaged when exposed to hormones and other carcinogens. Two cups of black beans a week is the recommended dose. They can easily be substituted for half the ground beef in any recipe.

Reishi mushrooms are so toxic to breast cancer cells they can halve their ability to grow and spread in as little as 24 hours according to recent research. They do have a bitter taste which repels people too, but they can be bought in extract form in most health food stores, called ganoderma. Check with your doctor first before taking.

Consuming beta-sitosterol - an immunity boosting plant compound - daily could double your body's ability to kill off early breast cancer cells. This can be found in avocados, almonds, pecans, pistachios, dark chocolate, red lentils, corn, canola and soybean oils.

Shield your cells with spices! Popular spices like black pepper, turmeric, saffron, oregano, curry and garlic are not only flavor enhancers but also help protect you against cancer. Plant compounds in these spices are proven to nourish all cells, helping them grow and divide normally, even when they are exposed to harsh carcinogens.

Rheumatoid- When the Body's Immune Network Goes Haywire

Rheumatoid is a form of arthritis is an autoimmune disease In other words, Rheumatoid attacks, if the protective shield of the immune system can provide for the body. Rheumatoide - also known as rheumatoid arthritis - the internal organs such as the heart and lungs can seriously affect.

Rheumatoid affects the lining of the joints, which is called the synovium. Rheumatoid patients have painful inflammation of this food. Rheumatoid means a painful condition of the joints. Rheumatoid you know someone in the 1920's and it can last a lifetime.

Still, there is no unanimity about the exact cause of rheumatoid. But most experts agree that genetics and hereditary factors which still play an important role from one generation to another through genes. Another school of thought tries to blame cause rheumatic - Mononucleosis - a virus or a bacterium. Even if one accepts the latter how viable State, it is safe, although the Rheumatoid is contagious at all. Also considered viable reasons Rheumatoid style of stressful lifestyle, stresses and infections such as Streptococcus.
If not detected and in the initial stages, can be Rheumatoid diagnosed negatively affecting the heart and lungs and the blood. What's more, can even change Rheumatoid joints forms. Weakening of this syndrome and extremely painful outcome is that the patient is very problematic to move.

Different persons can have different symptoms. The common symptoms of rheumatoid are a feeling of warmth on the affected parts accompanied by redness, stiffness and an overall swelling of the portion of the body where are located the affected joint(s). The stiffness, tenderness, and swelling can last for about a week or can even extend for a longer period. Obviously, the general feeling is of fatigue and depression. Many also experience feverish symptoms. However, the diseases can also be a silent invader sans these symptoms or a few of them. Moreover, there are several common patterns which are basically symmetrical in nature; suppose a particular joint on one side of the body is affected by rheumatoid then the other side of the body also gets affected by the dysfunction. Rheumatoid is thus a systemic disease causing pain to the patient.

One can also opt for the alternative medicines and therapies as acupuncture and acupressure. The most largely opted for treatment across the globe by the rheumatoid patients are surgeries. Nonetheless, the severity of rheumatoid is usually diagnosed through a series of clinical tests. The patients suffering from a mild attack of rheumatoid are generally prescribed anti-inflammatory medications like aspirin etc. But, in situations where the ailment has already reached an advanced stage, they are prescribed DMARDs (Disease-Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drugs) like the Corticosteroids which include narcotics and prednisone; or chemotherapy drugs like Cytoxan; or anti-organ rejection drugs like cyclosporine. The most commonly prescribed medications for the patients suffering from the acute form of rheumatoid are Methotrexate, Etanercept, Enbrel or Arava. Since these medications are basically antibiotics they tend to leave reactions on the patients who may then suffer side effects.

Hence, the doctors and the patients must share freely the probable allergies or the other ailments and medicines that a patient may be consuming so that the rheumatoid drugs do not cause any complications.
Women in the age group of 20-60 years are susceptible to rheumatoid owing to changes in their hormones that generally take place during this stage. Rheumatoid patients experience the symptoms more in the wintry season.

The Impact That Diabetes Has On One's Life

Diabetes is a disease that attacks the human body in many ways. Firstly, it seems that the patients due to the inability to work keep people in a normal level of glucose in the blood. The fabric of the witch, which makes the cells glucose is yourself; This level of glucose in the blood is maintained within the normal parameters of the secretion of insulin from the pancreas. The normal response of insulin from the pancreas would be secret if there is higher glucose in the body, such as the time after dinner. Due to their inability of glucose begins to build in the blood then is expelled from the body through the urine. Hence the name in antiquity: sweet urine. Hyperglycemia is the medical term for absence of normal levels of insulin in the body of the patient. Take diabetes unfortunately lives a chronic disease.

The effects of diabetes on the body can be very difficult. Failure of kidney damage and nerve are very often not to mention that you could blind even due to illness. Damage to the blood vessels usually arterial Occlusive Disease refers to real boats, also known as micro. After the long-term damage, strokes and heart disease is not unusual are also pretty hard hit, sometimes other large ships. Nearly 17 million people are States of America and an even more incredible fact affected by the disease in the United States, nearly 12 million also the disease but he did not. The amount of money used to keep the treatment and the disease under control are huge compared to the cost of the same treatments for other diseases. Studies have shown that it is more than three times more expensive than other diseases to treat diabetes.

It has been found out that after heart disease and cancer, diabetes is the next major thing responsible for death in the United States of America .

The cause of the disease is the actual incapacity of the pancreas to create the needed amount of insulin necessary for the body to function normally. Sometimes muscle cells and also liver cells lose the ability to properly use the insulin, and although it is produced at a hyer level things don't tend to change. Levels of glucose in the blood stream will gradually lid to hyperglycemia.

People should always try their best to escape the ravaging problems of this terrible disease.

Poor Circulation in the Legs - What it Means For You

Muscle cramps and pain is routine issues, the experience of most people, at one time or another. In the lower extremities, pain in legs, feet, or legs curl can be closed. It is likely that this type of pain to the effort, new activities or even dehydration is likely. In some cases, however, symptoms in the legs and feet can be due to circulatory disorders. How to tell if you will experience a cardiovascular problem and how to treat this condition, will thus be free of pain can.

What causes poor circulation?

In order for the muscles of the legs remains strong and perform daily activities that you need to be a constant flow of blood throughout the body. It is the blood of the heart for pumping towards outside her womb the task out at each end, for each organ and muscle can function optimally. If the blood flow to certain conditions are concerned, the lower limbs are often at risk. This leads to pain during activity, known as claudication.

Cardiovascular problems arise when the aid flow of different arteries blocked and unable to the blood to the extremities. Atherosclerosis is often responsible for damaged arteries. This condition caused by plaque or fatty deposits accumulate in the walls of the arteries. Common causes are high blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes and nicotine. If this happens, arteries can be oxygen-rich blood reaching his lower extremities, hard and narrow, reducing the amount of data. If its members are affected, peripheral arterial disease is called.

People who suffer from claudication due to peripheral arterial disease usually experience pain while active. The pain should resolve within two to three minutes of ceasing the activity. Unfortunately, claudication can lead to complications over time. As the problem grows worse, ulcers and blood clots may occur; the leg or foot may feel cold; the skin and nails may atrophy; and you may observe hair loss. Some patients will start feeling pain when they are at rest. It is important to treat circulatory problems as early as possible to avoid complications and restore mobility.

Treating Claudication

The first thing I tell patients who experience the symptoms of peripheral arterial disease is that they have the power to dramatically improve their condition. Making lifestyle changes is not always easy, but the ability to be active without pain is the reward for addressing the problem. Before it is necessary to turn to surgical options, give natural solutions a chance.

The greatest risk factor for peripheral arterial disease and claudication is smoking. You should quit as soon as possible and eliminate any exposure to secondhand smoke. The nicotine in cigarettes damages the walls of the arteries, causing low blood flow and poor circulation. Your doctor can discuss a variety of smoking cessation programs with you to find the one that will best fit your needs.

Knowing your cholesterol levels and taking steps to put them in a healthy range can prevent and reduce symptoms of peripheral arterial disease. If high cholesterol is to blame for blocked arteries, your doctor will help you implement a healthy, lowfat diet. Vegetables and whole grains can help lower cholesterol levels.

Oatmeal, for example, is proven to reduce your numbers when eaten daily. If high cholesterol runs in your family, your doctor may prescribe medication to help lower your levels.

Exercise is a free and natural solution for poor circulation. Although activity leads to the pain of claudication, exercise is essential for improving your symptoms. Keeping the muscles active and strong helps them use oxygen more efficiently. Even if circulation is poor, pain may be reduced as the muscles learn to work better. Exercise also encourages the growth of new blood vessels, which provide another way for oxygen to reach your muscles. Work with your doctor to develop an exercise program you can handle and that will eventually reduce your pain.

Atherosclerosis and peripheral arterial disease often go undetected until symptoms present themselves. If claudication occurs, consider it a call to action to adopt a healthier lifestyle. With simple, natural changes, you can help your doctor treat the problem and enjoy life with a healthy, able body.
