Thinking Outside The Box

Posted on July 8, 2013 by Ken

  The BRAIN  being the most complex part in the human body and within    this  three pound organ amazing  functions occur ( sense of  touch,  smell, sight,  move,   feel ,  hear  and  ability  to think.)  It  controls  and  contorts your thoughts  and  emotions,  receives  and  analyzes  information  while storing memory.  The  brain  produces  electrical  signals  which  together  with chemical reactions allows the body to communicate in unison.

    Although the brain is only  2%  of  the body weight,  it uses  20%  of  the  oxygen  supply  and  gets  20% of  the  blood   flow.  Blood vessels  (arteries, capillaries and veins) supply the brain with oxygen and nourishment,  and  takes away waste. The brain and spinal cord makes up the central nervous system  (CNS)  while the brain is connected  to  the  spinal cord  which  runs from the neck to the hip area.

  The  nerves connecting  the CNS  to the rest of the body called peripheral nervous  system,  which  the  autonomic  nervous  system  controls  our life support system that we don’t consciously control, like breathing, digesting food  and  blood circulation works marvelously well together.  The  cells of the nervous system  are  quite  fragile  and  need extensive protection  from being crushed, infected by disease organisms and other harm.

   The brain,  spinal cord  are covered  by  a tough,  translucent membrane called the dura mater.  Cerebrospinal  fluid  (CSF)  is a clear,  watery liquid that  surrounds  the  brain  and  spinal cord,  is  also  found  throughout  the  ventricle (brain cavities  and  tunnels.)  CSF cushions  the brain  and spinal  cord  from jolts.  The blood brain barrier protects  the brain  from chemical intrusion  from the rest of  the body.

   Blood  flowing into the brain is  filtered so that many harmful chemicals  can not enter into the brain.  However, occasionally events unfold – in – an – instance messages go haywire. Therefore  scientist  don’t  fully  understand  what causes  Alzheimer’s disease,  however,  are learning  that age -related changes in the brain may harm neurons and contribute to the disease.

   However  for  that to be the case  wouldn’t it make sense  for whomever would age they would end – up  with Alzheimer,  and  it simply  just doesn’t work that way period.  Therefore  the likely cause may stem  from a mix of  genetics,  environmental  factors  and  lifestyle  choices.  Taking  a  look  at genetics  and   for those patients with  “late – onset”  Alzheimer  developing after age 60….  let’s take a look at the possibility  0f  NEW Treatment.

     Many studies have been done that linked the apolipoprotein E  (APOE) gene  to  ‘late – onset”  Alzheimer  and  this  gene  with  it’s  many  forms: one being APOE e4 which seems to increase a person’s risk of getting the disease. However carrying  APOE e4 genes  does not  necessarily mean  that a person will develop Alzheimer, while  some  people  carrying no  APOE e4  gene  can also have development the disease.

   Therefore,  lately,  most of  the research has been turned toward those of environmental  factors  &  lifestyle choices,  and  also host  of  other  factors beyond genetics  as the main role  in the development of  Alzheimer Disease. There has been a great deal of  interest in the association between cognitive decline,  vascular  and metabolic signatures;  such as heart disease,  stroke, high blood pressure,  diabetes  and  obesity.

   So like brain tumors,  the best way to avoid  Alzheimer Disease is to avoid certain environmental agents  like  aluminum  and  vinyl chloride,  and  also extreme therapeutic radiation therapy. While eating a diet rich in omega – 3 fatty  acid  from  fish. In addition, vegetables and fruits rich in anti oxidants, while  foods  rich  in  B-vitamins,  especially  vitamin B-12  has  shown  it  can reduce  your risk  for Alzheimer Disease.

   Also as the human body ages it has been shown a lesser ability to absorb vitamin B-12. Therefore after the age of  60 years we should have our blood levels of  vitamin B-12 checked  and  proven deficient we should consider an injection.  Especially  if  you consume high levels  of  alcohol  which also has been shown to – lead – to liver disease which in turn can spread to the brain.  The  following  is  a  list – of – links  of  the  better  options  one  may  have  in their battle of   Brain Cancer   (Alzheimer Disease!!!)


    Swedish Neuroscience Institute: provides acclaimed advanced progressive treatment  for a wide range of brain, spine  and  nervous system conditions….

    Skull Base Institute: Dr. Hrayr Shahinian  is regarded as a pioneering expert utilizing  minimally invasive endoscopy for brain tumors….

   Northwestern Brain Tumor Institute: recognized as a leader in the  fight    against brain and spinal cord tumors….

    Mayo Clinic Alzheimer’s Research Center: expertise treating Alzheimer’s     while pioneering treatment for people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI)….

A Deadly Cancer

Posted on July 3, 2013 by Ken

   Bone Cancer:  unfortunately,  doctors have been unable to pinpoint any preventative techniques specific to primary bone cancer, as this rare  form of  the  disease  accounts  for  less  than  1  percent  of  all  cancer  diagnoses. However,  researchers have identified several key risk  factors  you  should be concerned about this potentially deadly disease and bone sarcomas.

    Therefore,  if  you know there’s a history of  the  disease  in your  family,  you should focus your efforts on early detection to prevent the disease from reaching  an advanced stage.  Research  also  believe  people  with  a  genetic condition known as Paget’s disease have elevated bone cancer risk. If you’re genetically predisposed  to bone cancer,  stop smoking,  tobacco  use  in  any form increases your chances of  developing the disease.

     Oncologist  stress  the  importance  of  controlling  your  eating  habits, avoiding excess calories, choosing healthy low  fat  foods instead. Limiting your saturated  fats  and  red meat  while eating whole grains,  fresh  fruits and  vegetables.  Regular exercise  is also believed  to limit cancer risk  and you should always undergo regular cancer screening  and  tell your doctor about any symptom.        Those  fruits and veggies are super  foods!!!

   Secondary Bone Cancer usually results  from the metastasis,  or spread    of  other  forms  of  cancer  into the bones.  For  this  to happen  the original form of  cancer must remain undetected  and  untreated  for a considerable period.  If  you’ve already contracted a  form of  cancer  and want to stop it from spreading to your bones.  Follow your oncologist’s advice… complete all prescribed treatments in  full.

   One of  the  newest  and  most  promising  treatments  is proton therapy, focused ultrasound therapy  and  radio  frequency ablation that targets the tumor  and  not  the  healthy  surrounding.  With  follow up  care  especially important, since cancer tends to recur in individuals who have already had it.  A Holistic Doctor can be a vital addition to any cancer patients recovery team, with  tracking vitamin  and  mineral deficiencies  through  blood test (while keeping the cancer at bay  and  NOT  turning stage 4.)

Preventing Cancer

Posted on July 2, 2013 by Ken

   Bladder Cancer:  your best bet is to avoid possible carcinogens or cancer causing substances.  For starters don’t smoke,  consume  smoked  or cured meats  and  prefer  fresh to process  foods. Research also suggest: that there is a reduced incidence by including beta-carotene, vitamin B6 and selenium in your diet.  If  you work around carcinogenic chemicals,  follow the safety guidelines to avoid undue exposure.  In theory,  drinking liquids, especially water,  may dilute toxic substances that may be concentrated in your urine and   flush the symptoms out of  your bladder more quickly.

    With men  up to  four  times  more  likely than women of  getting bladder cancer, it occurs twice as often in Caucasians as it does in African American  and  Hispanics.  While Asians have the lowest rate of developing the disease. Bladder cancer  with  it’s 50%  to  80% chance of  returning  after  treatment  (this rate  is  the  highest rate of  any  cancer  including skin cancer.)  People whom work in the rubber, chemical, and leather industries, as dry cleaners or hair dressers.  Along with machinists, metal workers, printers, painters, textile workers  and  truck drivers have higher risk.

   Breast Cancer:  as a women ages and starts to go through menopause the shift  from a balance of estrogen – progesterone, shifts to a greater degree of estrogen.  That  dominance  in estrogen…. can  promote  the growth of  some  breast cancers which are called hormone – sensitive  or hormone dependent breast cancers. Breast tissue developing  from prenatal stages until the time of birth and breast feeds are vulnerable. As these breast structures that have not gone through the full sequence of development are particularly sensitive to the detrimental effects of  environmental toxins.    Broccoli Sprouts!!!

   A Familial History of breast cancer increases your risk factor somewhat, particularly  BRCA1, BRCA2 and p53 genes.  However, reproductive  factors associated  with  prolong  exposure  to  endogenous  estrogen,  such as early menarche,  late menopause, late age child birth are amongst risk  factors as well.  Also one should also consider the higher risk of  exogenous hormones, hormone replacement therapy and prolong oral contraceptives.

  Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC) is the most aggressive  form of  breast cancer.   According  to  the  American  Cancer  Society  it  accounts  for  only 1%  to  5%  of   all  invasive breast cancers.  However,  the  five  year  overall survival rate  is 40%  compared  to nearly 90%  for all other types of  breast cancer  combined.  The  symptoms  of  IBC  actually  are not  caused  by any inflammation,  rather  by  cancer cells  blocking lymph vessels  in  the  skin and soft tissue.  

   Lymph  is  a  clear  fluid  that  contains  tissue waste  and  cells  that help fight infections.  It  travels  through the body  in vessels  that  are  similar to veins. Lymph nodes are small bean – shaped organs that link lymph vessels. Science and  Medicine will add to our ability to conquer cancer, researching  how  cancer  cells  can  influence the development  of  new lymphatic vessels  and   pathways.  While  also  establishing  other  routes  for  these  cells  to spread to other parts of the body.

   Colorectal Cancer: The National Cancer Institute recommends a low – fat, high  fiber diet  that  includes  at least  five servings of  fruits  and  vegetables each day.  While  reducing  the major sources of  fat  in your diet (limit meat, eggs,  dairy product, cooking oils and salad dressings.)  Also after the age of fifty to get a regular ten year checkup  and colonoscopy to determine  if  you may have any troublesome precancerous polpys.  When  I  was  48 years old this procedure  turned  my life  around  taking  me  back  15 years  when  the proctologist  removed a colony of  hemorrhoids  and  a  polpy. 

    Diet  is considered  a determinant of  increased risk  in  the  development   of  colorectal cancer.  Although  it’s  difficult to ascertain which components of  diet  are  most  important  in  increasing  your  risk  of  colorectal  cancer.  Compelling  evidence  also  suggests  a strong  association between red meat and  fat intake  and  colorectal  cancer.  While  high intakes of  animal  fat  is  also associated  with colorectal cancer,  the  fatty  acids  in  fish and  low  fat reduce  the  risk.  While  high  obesity  rates  and  a  lack  of  physical activity increases the risk as well.

   Gynecological Cancer: while there is no guarantee to prevent these types    of cancers, there are steps you can take to reduce your risk. One way is with yearly examines  and inside knowledge  of   warning  signs,  which is unusal bleeding after menopause,  pain and pressure,  changes in bowel  or bladder habits  and  thickening  or  lumps  that  causes  pain  or  can  be  seen  or  felt. To  reduce  your  risk:  do not  smoke,  limit  fat  intake,  get  regular medical examinations,  limit  alcohol intake,  pay attention  to changes in your body and exercise daily  for at least 30 minutes  0f  Ungirdled  Truths!!!

    In the United States  this  year 90,000  women  will  be  diagnosed  with gynecological cancer, half  being cervical cancer about 30,000 patients will die with ovarian cancer being the deadliest.  It’s  worth repeating  again the symptoms usually go unnoticed:  vaginal bleeding  and  discharge,  changes in the skin of  the valva,  vaginal itching  and burning, back  and abdominal pain, being tired all the time  while  having  to  pass  urine  more  often  than usual and bloating.  It’s always recommended  that  women seek care of  the symptoms if  they have persisted  for two weeks.

   Leukemia:  there  is  no known way  to prevent most types  of  blood borne cancers, however, most people don’t know the risk factors. Avoiding any high doses of radiation  and  chemotherapy  used to treat previous cancer can be a forerunner.  Also avoiding exposure to benezene a chemical by – product of  coal and petroleum used mainly in gasoline,  and any others such as paints, solvents, plastics, pesticides  and  detergents. While those working with the products should always consider protective clothing and special care.

    When you have Leukemia:  the  bone  marrow  starts  to  make  a lot  of   abnormal white blood cells,  called Leukemia cells. They don’t do the work  of  normal white blood cells,  leukemia cells  grow  faster than normal cells and  don’t  stop growing  when  they  should.  Overtime  leukemia cells  can crowd out the normal blood cells, this can lead to serious problems such as anemia,  bleeding  and  infections.  Leukemia cells  can  also  spread  to  the Lymph nodes or other organs causing swelling and pain.

   Liver Cancer:  for the general population screening hasn’t been proved to reduce the risk  of  dying  of  cancer.  While the American Association  for the Study  of   Liver Disease  recommends  liver  screening  for  those  thought  to have higher risk.  Those  people  with  an increased risk  include  Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C,  Liver Cirrhosis  from other causes such as an auto immune disease or excessive alcohol use  and  nonalcoholic  fatty liver disease.

   The liver performs many important  functions,  such  as  removing  toxins and  other chemicals waste products  from the blood  and  readying them  for excretion. Because the liver is usually accessible to cancer cells traveling the blood stream it can be affected  by primary liver cancer.  Which arises in the liver  or by cancer which  forms in other sites  and  than spreads to the liver.  In the United States…. primary liver cancer strikes twice  as  many  men  as women at an average age  of  67 years old.

Cancer Prevention

   Lung Cancer:  0f  the estimated 580,350 men and women whom will die     0f  cancer in  2013  (160,000  will  die of  lung cancer.)  Being 90%  of  lung cancer can be prevented through actions and awareness (cigarette smoke    is the leading  cause  followed  by radon gas in the home.) Buyer Beware:    if you smoke stop and if you don’t smoke don’t start,  if you live in a home  that’s new… still have your basement tested  for radon gas…. because of   the tightly seal and heavily isolation… radon levels maybe high.

   Still it is estimated  that  90%  of  lung cancer  could  be prevented each year through action and awareness.  Smoking cigarettes and tobacco use  by any means is responsible  for 87%  of  lung cancer in the United States. Therefore,  quitting smoking at any time can lower the risk of  developing lung cancer and  if  you already have cancer it could prevent a secondary more aggressive type  from recurring. Each year lung cancer affects over 370,000 Americans,  what  type  of  robust effect  would  it have on health care  if  everybody would  QUIT!!    Know Your Options Beforehand?

The Facts About Radon Gas… It’s Deadly!!!

   Melanoma: you can lower your risk 0f the deadliest form 0f skin cancer    by protecting yourself  from  exposure  to UV Radiation  from the sun with   slip!  slop!  slap!  and  wrap!   Ounce 0f Prevention beats a pound of cure?

* Slip  on a shirt.

* Slop on sunscreen.

* Slap on a hat.

            * Wrap around sunglasses.

   While avoiding  severe sunburns  by avoiding being outdoors in direct        sunlight to long,  especially  between  the  hours  of  10 am and 4 pm when the  UV light  is strongest.  If  your  unsure  of  the  suns  intensity  use  the shadow test  and  if  your shadow is shorter than you are ~ it’s important    to have some  form  of  protection. Therefore, you don’t need to know the new medical breakthroughs.

   Melanoma is less common than other skin cancers, however, it is much more  dangerous  if  not  found early causing  75%  of  the deaths related to skin cancer.  Worldwide  doctors  diagnose  about  160,000  new  cases  of  melanoma yearly.  In women the most common site is the legs and in men  it’s the back because those area’s are the most likely to be left exposed  for the greatest length of  time.  All cancers are caused by damage to the DNA inside  cells,  this  damage  can  be  inherited  through  genetic  mutations, however,  more likely it builds through a person’s  lifetime  and caused by environmental issues.

   Non  Hodgkins  Lymphoma:  the  exact  cause  is  unknown,  however, certain risk  factors exist. While certain viruses (like H.I.V., Epstein Barr, Human-T cell Leukemia  and  Virus 1.)  and  also  bacteria  caused  by  the Helicobacteria  pylori  and  celiac disease  that  can increase your risk of  developing B – cell or a rare T – cell lymphoma.

   Also  in  a small  number of  cases,  working  with  chemicals  such  as insecticides  and  herbicides  seemingly  increase  the  risk  of  developing lymphoma and conditions that include rheumatoid arthritis, haemolytic anaemia,  sjogren’s  syndrome,  lupus  and  psoriasis that can affect your immune system  and  heighten your risk.

    Dr. Richard Becker,  D.O.  physician  in  North Texas  where  he  and            his  wife  Host  Your  Health.  In  1997,  Dr.  Becker  was  diagnosed  with Hodgkins  Lymphoma,  while also immersing himself  into the world  of Natural Healing. Which he states,  some of  the things he learned in that    time ~ fight to survive led to the  formation of  Bio Innovations.  In some ways this person mentor me through being a loyal watcher of  his show    and making a big impact on this website!!

   Pancreatic Cancer:  fortunately  cancer of  the  pancreas  is relatively    rare,  however,  your risk of  developing  this  dreadful disease triples if  your mother, father, sister or brother had the disease. Please remember though  most  people  with   family  history  doesn’t  mean  you  will  get pancreatic cancer.  That said,  first  thing  first smokers  are more likely  than  non  smokers of  developing  the  disease.  Also  a  study  that  was conducted  from  University of  California  at San Francisco  found  that  eating  five  plus servings of  yellow, orange or green veggies  HELP! 

   Pancreatic Cancer remains one of  the most difficult cancers to treat,        due  to  it’s  extreme resistance  to  treatment  and  few  early symptoms.      At  the  time  of  initial diagnosis  50%  of  patients  usually  have  distant metastases of  the liver of  peritoneal surface  and more than 80% of  the remaining  patients  have  locally  advanced tumors.  The  majority  95%       are adenocarcinomas that  mainly  develop  from  exocrine  cells  in  the    tissues  of  the  pancreas.  These  tumors  are  also  characterized  by  an aggressive behavior with  fast progression and highly metastatic.

   In contrast,  neuroendocrine tumors of  pancreatic origin,  also known        as  pancreatic NET  or  islet cell tumors;  are not as common <2%  and are considered  less deadly.  Illustrating the difference,  however,  between the two,  Hollywood actor Patrick Swayze  had  stage IV  exocrine cancer  that already spread to his liver March 2008 and lost his battle September 2009 at  age 57.  Likewise, Apples’s  Steve Jobs  under went  surgery  for  NET  in 2004 and didn’t succumb until October 2011 at age 56.

   Prostate Cancer:  most cases are slow growing, however, there are instances of  aggressive  prostate cancers.  The  cancer cells  may  also metastasize  (spread)  from  the  prostate  to  other  parts  of  the  body. Particularly the bones  and  lymph nodes causing pain, also difficulty   urinating,  problems with sexual inter course  or  erectile dysfunction. Globally  it  is  the  sixth leading cause of  cancer related death  in men  (being  first in the U.K.  and  second leading in the United States.)

   Prostate Cancer:  many risk  factors such as age,  race,  and  family   history  can not  be  controlled.   However,   the  effect  of  body  weight, physical activity and diet on prostate risk are not clear, but there may         be things you can do that might lower your risk.  Several  studies  also suggest  that  diets  high  in  certain  vegetables   (including  tomatoes, cruciferous vegetables,  soy,  beans  and  other  legumes)  or  fish  with    their omega 3 content  for cancer prevention versus treatment.

   Thyroid Cancer:  risk  factors  like  frequent head  and  neck  X – rays exposes the thyroid to radiation which can increase your risk over time. While lack of  iodine does not directly cause thyroid cancer,  it  has been linked to goiter,  which  in  turn increases  your  risk  for  developing the disease.  In most cases the cause of  thyroid cancer is unknown,  there is little that  can  be  done  to  prevent  the  disease. Although today their is   great  hope in the treatment of  thyroid cancer by removing cause.

   If you live near a nuclear power plant ~  you maybe eligible to obtain potassium  iodide.  Because  the  excessive iodine intake  can  be harmful, consult a physician before consuming a diet rich in the nutrient that can help maximize  function.  French Researcher Dr. Elisabeth Cardis  whom performed  a case control  study  of  1300 controlled  patients  who  lived near Chernobyl. Whom at the time of the disaster back in the 1980’s that  was 15  or younger  and  found  those  deficient in iodine was three times more likely to garner radiation – related thyroid cancer.

Understanding Cancer

Posted on June 30, 2013 by Ken

    As I head into July Blog Post trying to understand the process leading to cancer.  Cancer is a natural process  where  an  over worked  and  weakened immune system can’t kill it  as quickly as it is multiplying. Therefore toxins, carcinogens,  radiation,  even viruses, combined with an unhealthy internal environment;  and  in  conjunction  with  a weakened immune system, cause more cells to turn cancerous and allows them to thrive.  

   Just as we couldn’t  live on mars  without  oxygen,  cancer  can’t  exist  in  cells where there is enough oxygen.  Therefore some experts will say, “in the earth atmosphere  due  to  global change  and  lessening  oxygen levels all to often our cells are low in oxygen.”  All normal body cells  meet  their  energy needs by respiration of oxygen, whereas cancer cells meet their energy need in great  part by  fermentation.

   The underlying cause of  all cancer, no matter what type, may have been discovered  over 50 years ago  by Otto Warburg.  Whereas he also stated in “The Prime Cause and Prevention of Cancer,”  that the cause of  cancer is no longer a mystery. We know it occurs  whenever  any  cell  is  denied  60%  of  it’s  oxygen requirements.  Therefore the primary cause of cancer no matter the type is the replacement of the respiration of oxygen in normal body cells by a  fermentation of sugar.

   More recently J.B. Kizer a biochemist and physicist at Gungnir Research  in Portsmouth, Ohio explained, “since Warburg discovery this has been the only physiological difference consistently  found  between  normal  healthy and  cancerous cells.  That  all normal cells  are obligate aerobes,  whereas, cancerous  cells  are  partial  anaerobes.”    In  chemistry,   alkali  solutions (pH  over  7.0)  tend  to  absorb  oxygen  while  acids  (pH  under  7.0)  tend    to expel oxygen. 

   Thereby  when  the body becomes acidic  by dropping below  a  pH level     of  7.0 (oxygen is driven out of the body inducing cancer)  Therefore, blood must  always  remain  at  an  alkaline  level  of  7.4 so it  retains it’s oxygen. When adequate mineral consumption is in your diet,  the blood is supplied the crucial minerals required to maintain and alkaline pH  of  7.4.

   However  when  insufficient  mineral  consumption  is  in  the  diet, the body  is  forced  to  rob  Peter (other body fluids)  to pay Paul  (the blood.)    In doing so it removes crucial minerals, such as calcium  from the Saliva, spinal  fluids,  kidneys,  liver  etc.,  in  order  to  maintain  the  blood  level     at a pH  of  7.4.  This causes the demineralization of  fluids  and organs to become acidic and therefore, anerobic.

   Everybody knows the human body is made up of 78% water by weight,  and  that water is hydrogen  and  oxygen gases.  When  nitrogen  gas  and  carbon in the  form  of  carbon dioxide  and  methane gases are added, the total  gas  in  the  body  by weight  becomes  over  95%.  Almost  half of  the remaining  5%  that makes up the human body  and controls all biological   functions is the mineral calcium.

  No other mineral is capable of  performing as many biological functions     as is calcium.  It is the calcium ions are responsible  for  feeding every cell.  It  does  this   by  latching  onto  seven  nutrient  molecules  and  one  water molecule  and  pulls them through the nutrient channel.  It  then  detaches it’s load and returns to repeat the process.

   Another important biological job  for  calcium  is DNA replication which      is  concealed  for maintaining  youth  and  a  healthy body.  DNA replication   is the basis  for all body repair and can only occur on a substrate of calcium, thereby, low calcium means low body repair and premature aging. Calcium to acid is like water to  fire… calcium quickly destroys oxygen robbing acids in the body  fluids.

    Thus the more calcium,  the more oxygen  and  therefore,  the less cancer and  other  degenerative disease.  As important as all these  and hundreds of  other biological  functions  of  calcium  are  to  human  health,  none  is  more important than the job of  pH control. Oxygen is essential to metabolize food and create high energy, it is also impossible for cancer to exist in an alkaline oxygen – rich environment. 

   In the 1950’s Dr.  Carl Reich  MD., discovered  that his  patients were able    to cure themselves of  almost all degenerative diseases by consuming several times  the  RDA amount of  calcium,  magnesium,  vitamin D  and  other  vital  nutrients.  Dr. Reich was the first North American Doctor to prescribe mega doses of  minerals and vitamins.  Also is considered by many to be the  father of  preventive medicine. 

    By  the  1980’s  Dr.  Reich had cured thousands,  however, lost his liscense  for explaining the consumption of  mineral nutrients,  such as calcium, could prevent cancer and a host of other diseases. This concept was considered too simple to accept by the medical profession of  that day.  However, by the late 1990’s  other  medical  men  of  wisdom  were  also  discovering  that  calcium supplements could prevent cancer.

Deanna’s Story

Posted on June 27, 2013 by Ken

   ‘Almost losing your life should be anyone’s wake – up call’…Deanna says,  “I spiraled out of control on so many aspects of  my life.”  A lot of drugs, and alcohol,  personal  life in chaos.  So many mistakes!  Jail time,  probation  as I  finally landed myself  in prison.

    Although  prison  is  where  I  made  the  decision  to  change  everything,  and not  for one specific reason, but  for all. While in prison, I  found out that I had contracted Hepatitis C.   I didn’t know what to ask  or even understand the details the Dr. tried to explain to me.

    All I really remember is she basically said,  ‘it’s  common in prisons  and  mine wasn’t as bad as alot of others and people have been cured completely.’ She also said,  “that since  I wouldn’t be  imprisoned long enough  to  receive full treatment  for the Hep C.”

    They would not start my treatment  for it while I was there.  Treatment came after my release  from prison, as I was referred to Dr. Ravi Kamepalli,  a specialist in Lima, Ohio.  He began a six month treatment of medicine that included Pegintron 150 mcg, self injected once a week and Ribavirin 600mg.  twice daily.

   Within the  first six weeks,  my blood work was no longer showing any Hepatitis C.  These medications  were  slowly taking care of  the Hep C, but the  treatment  was  also  wreaking havoc on  me  mentally,  as ~ well ~ as physically.  I  ate  practically  nothing  because…. I  just  was  not  hungry,  so I lost 50 pounds. 

    I don’t remember much  during  that  time.  I  slept  almost  constantly.         I could hardly  function to  form a sentence, much less hold a conversation with anyone. I also had some back issues, and the treatment increased the back pain. So I  found  myself  seeking  pain meds  from  Drs.  only  to  have those interfere even more.

    Thankfully, I had my support system and those people helped me keep going.  If  I had tough days,  they were always there.  I’m also thankful my  treatment came after I was released  from prison because of the harshness  of  the medication used and the side effects.

   After years of  pushing my limits  to  the  max  and putting  my  life  in jeopardy.  I  am  finally  what I consider myself  to be on the  ‘right track.’ and  “I’m in remission.”  All blood work  still  shows  no signs of  Hep C  in   my system.

   I’m still taking one day at a time,  but I’m healthier  and stronger than          I have been  in years.  I’m eating healthier,  exercising  and  losing a little weight here and there, but using my head to do so. I lost all my hair while   in treatment, but it’s grown back in and looks great. 

   I’m starting to  feel like the Ole’ Deanna.  I’m receiving so much support   and encouragement  from so many directions.  All of  that is making me be and do things  I’ve never thought would be possible.  I am thankful  for the second chance I was given,  And  I’m  looking  forward  to  a  long  healthy happy life!!!                                               Thanks…. Deanna!

Miracle Cancer Cures or NOT

Posted on June 25, 2013 by Ken

   With Health Care Being What It Is:  soon  111,162,259  households  in  the United States  will take  a Humanitarian Effort to safe guard against cancer. Maybe we should all change are stance and  false pretense  that only doctors should be allowed  to tell us what we…. should  do  for our health.  Maybe we should  be  self – educating  while  expressing  opinions  about  what  works before it gets us down    Miracles happen. 

    From the book:  One Minute Cure,  written  by  Madison Cavanaugh and   published  by Maria Veloso,  to DCA  and  the University of  Alberta  there is a lot of  Miracle Cures sounding promising. With one of  the most promising preventives  being  medicinal  mushroom  (Chaga,  Maitake,  Shiitake,  and  Tiger Milk) which are all great immune system boosters.

   Including Turmeric/Curcumin  which  everybody  should  consider  for   health protecting qualities.  Everyday 660/1,000,000 women are inflicted with breast cancer  and 160/1,000,000 will die  from this dreadful disease. Likewise in India  where Turmeric  is a staple spice in  their everyday diet 79/1,000,000  are inflicted  and  41 die  from breast cancer.

    While another supplement:  Hibiscus Extract  is used  for treating loss        of  appetite, colds, heart and nerve diseases, upper respiratory tract pain and   swelling  inflammation.   Fluid  retention,   stomach  irritation,  and     disorders of  circulation;  for dissolving phlegm,  as a gentle laxative and    as a diuretic  to increase urine output.

    Still another hopeful…. is  eggplant  extract  with  the  phytochemical  called solasodine glycoside  or BEC5  which  Dr. Bill E. Cham  discovered.  Which  works  by  bonding to a receptor on the surface of  the cancer cell. After the eggplant extract  causes  the cancer cell to rupture and  it’s than reabsorbed by the body.  BEC5  has been proven effective in treating over 80,000 cases of  skin cancer.      Also checkout Black Salve?

    In the late 1930’s,  acclaimed agricultural scientist  Dr.   George Kohler     and  colleagues  discovered  something unexplainable  about wheat grass. Being called the “Grass Juice Factor”  (GJF), there is no doubt the immune system is paramount to preventing the development of cancer and ridding the body of  cancer cells and their residual toxins.

    Cruciferous Vegetables:  people whom consume the compound in these veggies called isothiocyanates benefit more than other people whom don’t with a healthier lifestyle  and  reduced risk of  cancer.  However,  being no two people are alike…. it’s still debatable of  the impact they may play but     I include super  foods in my diet as much as possible. 

   Chemotherapy doesn’t have to be a dreadful experience  and especially including  a high quality Aloe Vera Juice  product.  Might help strengthen the body’s natural immune system to  fight cancer while at the same time protecting  the  healthy  cells   from  irreversible  damage  with  far  fewer side effects  from your treatment. 

    Pau d’arco (lapacho)  a herbal medicine of  several  South  and  Central American indigenous people to treat a number of ailments including  fever, infections  and stomach complaints.  Although  also  proposed  as  a  cancer treatment controlled studies doesn’t support  this  claim  warranting  some consideration  for the side effects of  chemotherapy. 

   Sanicle  which  American Herbalist practitioner Jethro Kloss considered    to be a cure all of  all things.  Sanicle  possesses powerful cleansing ablilities  and healing virtues both internally  and  externally  being  predetermined to be a bulldozer,  builder  while  finding  and   fixing  what is wrong with you.

   Beet Root Juice  in a German Study  is rated above all others as the most popular of  Alternative Cancer Treatments.  The Betalain  in  beet root  has proven effective   fighting skin tumors  and  liver tumors,  while betacyanin has  been  linked in reducing precancerous esophageal lesions  and  tumors.  While  beet  root  also  has  been  shown  to  negate  the  adverse  problem of Heterocyclic Aromatic Amines  (HAAs)  that  form on meat  and   fish being over cooked.

Macrobiotic Diet for Cancer

Posted on June 23, 2013 by Ken

    This  blog post  is  my  own  personal view point  and  my  own opinion.     Which  I’m allowed to have…. I did the research  and  it is my personal blog. When you research nutrition  for prevention of  chronic disease it has many  redeeming qualities.  However,  when it comes  to treatment is macrobiotic diets…. are they really that effective.

   When you look at chemotherapy and radiation being counter productive while  producing carcinogenic toxins  killing  good  and  bad cells.  That also causes secondary cancers,  therefore,  is chemotherapy and radiation really the way to go.  Some cancer patients question it’s ability to heal when while going through chemotherapy,  bacteria on  fruit consumed  can also lead to  a deadly bacterial infection.

   When your dealing with chemotherapy  and  all the negative side effects that goes along  with it.  The cancer patient  is often caught  between a rock  and hard place. With lowering blood counts that often restored after chemo you still  have  your  setbacks  during  treatment.   Often  white  blood  cells drop,  neutropenia often causing  fever,  chills,  coughing,  oral thrush/sore throats,  using Colgate Total  and  it’s  anti  fungal  properties  for good oral  hygiene. With  burning during urinating and severe diarrhea/constipation  frequent (1000mg of  Milk Thistle can be used  for chemo liver damage.)

    To compound the problem even  further red blood cells can lower to the point of  anemia causing increased tiredness,  fatigue,  shortness of  breath. and  chest pains which often  bee pollen can help.  With  diminished  platelet counts,  thrombocytopenia can occur with easy bruising, bleeding  from the skin,  urine  and  stool self  evident  with  severe  head  aches  being  normal. Therefore one should understand what to expect to alleviate some  or  most of  the side effects.

    As  I  research  the Macrobiotic Diet  for a cancer cure,  listen  also read  the differing viewpoints.  The  cases  that  peeked  my  interest  the most are  X – Memphis BBQ King Chris Wark,  researching his own answer to cancer, Kris Carr whom became popular writing books, Suzanne Somers  with  her own blog debating the trials & tribulations and Cleveland’s own Janet Hick whom was mentor  by Macrobiotic Expert Francois Roland.

    When I write macrobiotic diet  I’m not stating a carrot stick, celery stalk for dinner and supper. In Chris Wark’s case  it was a hardcore  fight  for his life  with eight 8 ounce  veggie  juices  daily.  Combined  with  a  giant  salad twice @ day (including broccoli, cauliflower, kale, spinach, onions, peppers and  mushrooms topped  with  an  olive  oil/apple  cider  vinegar  dressing.) With  garlic,  oregano,  cayenne pepper, turmeric  seasoning  with  a  blend  smoothie  for desert of  baby coconut,  banana,  with a mixture of  berries. 

   While Liana Werner – Gray  whom some consider an imposter growing up in  the  Outback of  Australia  (Alice Springs ~ Northern Territory.)  Amongst the  indigenous  aboriginal tribe  communities.  Living  off  the  land  without technology  and  instead  harvesting  what  earth  provides  naturally. While coming  down  with  a  precancerous tumour  in  her  lymphatic system  after moving to the city  and  becoming  a  junk  food addict of  refine sugar.

    In  the  five  cases  above  we talk about  over dosing on  phytonutrients (raw food) known to kill cancer cells.  When you over dose in this  manner    it  performs  aggressive detoxification  throwing  your body  into a ketosis,  thereby, burning  fat cells  and the toxins stored in them  for energy. While producing a healing state  putting your body in a cleansing state.

   So in a sense… what difference is it if you go through chemotherapy with it’s sometimes  harsh side effects  that can disseminate your immune system. Or decide  to go through  an aggressive detoxification  that heals the body by kicking toxins out thereby producing a healing pathway. However, it would be counter productive  and  you can’t decide both ways  it’s one  or the other. If  you would do both  with  the  macrobiotic diet  kicking out toxins it would also render the chemotherapy ineffective.

Oxidative Stress Impact on the Human Body

Posted on June 19, 2013 by Ken

   This blog post may not make sense once you read it,  however,  once you look through the links;  research it  for yourself  it will become crystal clear. Within the human body a wide array of  events occur that produces chronic inflammation.  Predispose  susceptible  cells  to  neoplastic  transformation, in general, the longer inflammation persist, the higher risk  for cancer.

    This  inflammatory  process  may  induce  DNA  mutations  in  cells  via   oxidative/nitrosative  stress.  This condition occurs when the generation of free radicals and active intermediates in a system that exceeds the system’s ability  to neutralize  and  eliminates  the culprits.  Inflammatory  cells  and  cancer cells….  themselves produce  “free radicals”  and  soluble  mediators, such as metabolites of  arachidonic acid,  cytokines  and chemokines.

     Which act by further producing reactive species, these in turn, strongly recruit  inflammatory  cells  in  a  vicious  cycle.  Reactive  intermediates  of   oxygen  and  nitrogen may directly oxidize DNA,  or  may interfere with the  mechanisms  of  DNA  repair.  These reactive substances  may  also  rapidly react with proteins, carbohydrates and lipids.

    Thereby,  having the derivative products inducing a high perturbation     in the intracellular or intercellular hemostatic until DNA mutation occur. The  main  substances also linking inflammation to cancer… via oxidative/   nitrosative  stress are prostaglandins  and  cytokines  which can suppress  the immune system.

    The effectors  are  represented  by an imbalance  between  pro-oxidants and  antioxidants  enzyme  activities  (lipoxygenase,  cyclooxygenase,  and phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase), hydroperoxides  and lipoperoxides,  aldehydes  and  peroxnitrite.  This  review  focalizes  on  the  intricate events by discussing the relationship occurring among oxidative/ nitrosative/metabolic stress,  inflammation  and cancer pathways.

     While oxidative stress causes cancer  those  same  free radical assaults can damage the eye and the rest of the body as well.  One key preventive is consuming a healthy diet while avoiding exposure to pollution, chemicals, smoking  and  ultra violent radiation.  While  free  radical  production can occur  with normal daily metabolism some risk  factors can be reduced by     a diet  filled with antioxidant  foods.

     So what people need to know  to prevent  cancer  as  well  as  cataracts which  is  easier  to understand  is  to  follow  a  healthy diet.  That includes colorful   fruits  and  vegetables  enriched  with  antioxidant  vitamins  and phytochemicals  found  in  them.  Along  with  a  moderate consumption of  fish high in omega – 3 fatty acid. While also avoiding those  food additives, sugary snacks & soft drinks, reducing sodium & fried greasy  fast  foods to help you avoid cataract surgery and cancer in your  future!! 

    Antioxidants  are very beneficial  as  they  help  to boost energy while  reversing the aging process  and  nourishing skin by supplying purifying agents  into the blood.  Playing a vital role  in  preventing chronic disease with my personal  favorite being Zeal  for Life. What Wild Berry  flavored blend does besides tasting great…  is give me a boost each morning before riding  my  bicycle.  If  it  wasn’t   for  this  product  no – way  could  I  ride    18 miles  without so much a sunburn  while losing the weight  I want to    lose by the 4th of  July.      For Q & A Contact:  Peggy Easterwood

The Hidden Factors

Posted on June 18, 2013 by Ken

    As  I  scroll  back  in  time  through the archives  of  Solitarius  it’s great         time spent. Especially the  first six months of  2013 with tons of information included about cancer awareness and in April reading and watching videos of the cancer survivors and success stories. None better than the uniqueness  of  this blog post which will deal with the infectious causes of  cancer.

   The infectious causes of  cancer  account  for 18%  of  cancers  worldwide.  This proportion varies in different regions of  the world  from high of  25% in Africa  to  less  than  10%  in  the  developed world. With mold being an usual infectious  agent  causing  cancer,  however,  bacteria,  parasites,  and  even, viruses having an effect.

   More studies are needed to get a clear picture of the health effects that’s related  to mycotoxins.  However,  it  is  clearly  prudent  to  avoid  exposure to mold.  Why some molds…. can produce several toxins  and  some produce mycotoxin  only  under  certain environmental conditions.  The presence of mold in a building  does not  necessarily mean  mycotoxins  are  present  or  they are present in large quantities.

    Mold can produce mycotoxins that cling to the surface of  mold spores, while others may be  found within spores.  More than 200 mycotoxins have  been  identified  from  common  molds  and  many  remain  to  be  identified. Some of these molds that are known to produce  mycotoxins  are commonly  found in moisture damaged buildings after natural disasters.

   Mold spores are microscopic in nature  and  naturally presence in both indoors  and  outdoor air.  Mold reproduces  by means of  their spores  and some are easily disturbed and waft into the air or settle repeatly with each disturbance. Spores may also remain able to grow  for years after they are produced.   In addition,  whether  or not  the spores are alive,  the allergens in and on them may remain allergenic  for years.

    Exposure pathways  for  mycotoxins  can include inhalation,  ingestion,   or  through  direct  skin  contact.  Many  human  health  effects  attributed to inhalation of  mycotoxins have been reported,  including mucous membrane irritations (sinus cavity),  skin rash,  immune system suppression,  acute  or  chronic liver or nervous system damage, endocrine effect or cancer

   Bacteria infections….  may  also  increase  the risk of  cancer,  as seen in  Helicobacter – pylori – induced   gastric  carcinoma  or  the  mechanism  by which H.pylori  causes cancer  may involve chronic inflammation or  direct action  of  some  of  it’s  virulence  factors,   for example,  CagA  has also  been implicated in carcinogenesis.  While parasitic infections strongly associated with cancer  include  Schistosoma  haematobium  (squamous cell carcinoma of the bladder)  and  the  liver  flukes,  opisthorclus viverrini  and  clonorchis sinensis (choloangio carcinoma.)

   With another avenue causing cancer….  being virus  called  oncoviruses,   these  include  human  papillomavirus (cervical carcinoma), Epstein – Barr virus (B-Cell Lymphoproliferative disease and nasopharyogeal carcinoma).  While  Kaposi’s  Sarcoma  herpes virus  can  induce  Kaposi’s  Sarcoma  and the primary  effusion  lymphoma  and  the  Human  T-cell  leukemia  virus -1 (T-cell Leukemia.)

    Infections by some hepatitis viruses,  especially hepatitis B  and  C virus that can induce a chronic viral infection. That leads to liver cancer in about 1 in 200 people infected with hepatitis B  (more in Asia,  fewer in N. America each year) and about  1 in 45  people infected  with hepatitis C.  Those people  with chronic hepatitis B infections are more than 200 times likely to develop liver cancer than uninfected people.
