Cancer Quick Facts

   After a hard winter of  working  on this website 16 hour daily.                            I noticed this spring my clothes was fitting tight and not so right.             When you start having  relatives and  friends  saying  things  like                that  midsection  can’t  be  healthy  for  you  ~  you  start  thinking             about what being really over weight does for you and the benefits                    of  exercise on a regular basis.

   What we don’t know about  fat cells can kill us… like a tumor…                  when you consume more calories than you burn. Fat cells in your             body swell to  as much as six times their minimum size  and  begin                   to  multiply   from  40 Billion  in  an  average  adult  to  100 Billion.       Simply put,  fat that is not used  for  fuel immediately is stored  for             later use and can create havoc on your body.

    To the endth  degree,  if  your consuming high calorie meals and                 NOT  burning very many calories . Your fat cells swell and multiply resulting in weight gain.  So carrying a  few extra pounds  may also       wreak havoc  of  your “hormone balance,”  leading  to  a  variety  of    illnesses and health risks.

     Estrogen,  the  classified   “female hormone”   is  a  fast  storing           hormone,  that is also,  naturally present in small amounts within              men as well.  Although necessary,  within  men  while regulating a       healthy libido,  improved  brain  function (especially memory) and   protecting  the  heart.  When  it  is  to  high  testosterone  levels  are       reduced  and  men experience fatigue,  muscle tone loss,  decreased        sexual  function and in some cases enlarged prostate.

    Do  fat cells disappear or shrink when you lose weight?  Why do               men tend to gain weight  in  their  bellies?  The  answer  to  the  first    question is “no!”   No  fat  cells  only  slighty  decrease  and  the cells      become less metabolically active.  While  remaining  in  your  body,    waiting for the next assault on a donut so they can expand again.

    Someone who has maintained a normal body weight their whole                 life have an easier time staying  fit.  Than  someone  whose  fat  cells         have swelled uncontrollably and multiplied in the past.  Aside  from             the way you feel when you’re packing a few extra pounds, there are          also internal complications that result  from morbid obesity.

     Fat tissue attract  immune system cells called macrophages that     promotes chronic inflammation into your body.  So by carrying extra     weight…. your body also produces an immune response similar to the  reaction your body exhibits when you develops the flu or injury.  That inflammation is intended to  fight infection,  therefore, your body will         see that extra  fat calories  from a greasy pizza as an invasion.

    Men typically…. carry extra weight in their midsection,  thereby,                   if  you gain weight most of  it will go directly to your belly  first  (with women on the other hand  it goes to the hips or thighs.)  Belly  fat  will   increase the likelihood of  bad cholesterol (LDL), triggers  extra  fat in         the blood stream, raises blood pressure  and  blood sugar levels.  

     Furthermore,  abdominal  fat  tends to be deeper  inside the body,               as opposed to hip  or  thigh area  fat  which is directly stored under the       skin.  Fat cells  within the abdomen  are metabolically more active than        fat cells located in other areas, which lead to diabetes, coronary artery disease, stroke  and  certain cancers because of estrogen imbalance.

   Abdominal  fat cells may also effect the healthy  function of  the liver. Unfortunately there is no way  to target weight loss  in one specific area         of  the  body.   So in order to lose your spare tire  you must exercise your entire body. The good news with regular exercise usually the midsection      is the  fastest to come off….

     When you exercise your body releases chemicals called endorphins       that will interact… with the receptors in your brain… that reduces your perception of  pain.  Endorphins  also  trigger a positive  feeling  in  your body that  follows a workout often described as “euphoric .”  That is also accompanied  by a positive  and  energizing outlook on life.  Endorphins    are manufactured in your brain, the spinal cord,  and  many other parts      of  your body that releases neurotransmitters.

    However,  once you commit to losing the extra poundage.  Pay close attention  ~  listen  to  your  body…. abdominal swelling,  belly bloating, and  distended  tummies  after vigorous workouts.  Can be both common place and discouraging, however, not necessarily concerning. When you first engage in vigorous exercise,  your  body interprets it as trauma and may retain water as a precautionary measure.

   One of  the most common causes of  Belly Bloating which at first seems     self ~ defeating because you’re losing the weight but keeping the tummy. Because your body  is retaining water  your sweating more than normal     as a result…. of  an imbalance  in the amount of  salt in your blood.  Also when you first engage in vigorous exercise, blood moves away  from the intestines;  out to the extremities and impairs the digestive system.

   To avoid these issues  and help your progress moving  forward always     eat a  full meal at least two hours  before working out allowing your  food   to properly digest. Including mostly complex carbohydrates, some protein eating slowly.  While avoiding caffeine,  aspirin,  high does vitamin C with carbonated drinks and  foods with high amounts of  fiber, sugars and  fats being complete no – no’s.

    Being  Solitarius  is a website more in line to prevent instead                              of  treat  cancer.  There  is  plenty  of  research  showing  the  link          between acidic pH and cancer thriving in an acidic environment.         Cancer  cells  make your body  even more acidic  as  they produce              lactic acid.  So  if  you have cancer,  your  pH levels  are  low  and                   your body is too acidic.   Read: Clean by Dr.  Alejandro Junger

     Cancer  doesn’t  survive  in  a  normal alkaline environment…                      so  making  your body  more alkaline  is vital  in anybody’s battle           against cancer. The majority of  foods and drinks we consume are         acidic,  such as meat,  grains,  sugar,  with colas other soft drinks            being  highly  acidic.  Actually too much acidity  is an underlying           factor in many degenerative diseases (diabetes, arthritis and also Fibromyalgia to name a few.)

    Back in time, Otto Warburg researcher at the Kaiser Wilhelm          Institute led a  discovery that  flavins  and the  nicotinamide  were                 the active groups  of  the hydrogen ~ transforming enzymes.  This,      together with the iron ~ oxygenase  discovered  earlier,  had  given                    a complete account of  the  oxidation  and  reductions  in the living         world. 

    While showing that cancer cells can live  and develope,  even in                  the absence  of  oxygen.  For this discovery of  the nature  and  mode               of  action of  the  respiratory enzyme.  That cancer cells  can’t live in                an  Alkaline state… the Noble Prize was awarded to him in 1931 and          until this day nobody has challenge the validity of  his theory.

    So when you think  alkaline state  and  The pH Miracle  only one           STOP is necessary to learn the concept.  Therefore  that  one stop shop        being,  The pH Miracle Center in Valley Center, California and asking        Dr. Robert O. Young  or  his wife Shelley  whom work in unison. There  powerful philosophy of keeping a alkaline lifestyle of nutrition, while reprograming clients has helped  Kris Carr and  Mark Lichty amongst others that I’m sure about.      The Chris Wark Story!!!

    According to the National Cancer Institute: current information                  on the possible association between stress and cancer, at least three        areas of  investigation are being explored?

    Virus – related tumors:  an  indirect relationship between certain             types of virus -related tumors (Kaposi Sarcoma, Burkett Lymphoma,         and cancer of  the liver)  and stress has been established. The indirect  results  from  the  facts  some cancers are triggered by a process that involves certain precursor infections (such  as  herpes  and hepatitis)   known to be exacerbated by stress and a weaken immune system.

    Cell Processes:  the body’s natural neuroendocrine responses has           been shown to alter important cell processes that protect against the formation  of  cancer,   such  as  cell repair  and  the  regulation of  cell growth.  Age related deficits  in protein synthesis  and  responsiveness             of  cells  to  stress,  decrease  cell – cell  communication  and  inefficient     signal transduction may render old cells less able to withstand stress.

     Tumor  Growth  and  Spread:  the  precise  biological  mechanisms  underlying the influence of  stress in the growth  and spread of  cancer.      Are not yet understood, however, a link between the effects of stress on      the  immune  system  and  the  growth  of  some  tumors  has  been  well documented. A recent study at the University of  Texas,  M.D. Anderson Cancer Center  in  Houston  indicates  that  stress  hormones, especially  norepinephrine  and  epinephrine  can contribute to tumor progression          in patients with ovarian cancer.    Maitake Mushroom

    Other  Factors  in  the  Effect  of  Stress  on  the  Immune  System!!!!!       They are numerous and can exacerbate the negative influence of  stress       on  the  immune  system.  Age,  nutrition,  gender  (estrogen),  ethnicity,     and  psychosocial  characteristic of  the individual  can affect white cell circulation  in  response  to  stressors.  Depression,  lack  of  support, or  hostility can cause altered immune cell response to acute stress.

    Regardless  to  it’s  origin,  psychological  stress  always  leads  to  a   change in white blood cell count at varying degrees depending upon the   type and duration of  the stressor.  Current  research  shows that longer  lasting stressors  causes  a reduction of  immune  function  and  increase over vulnerability to disease.  Numerous studies  document  the immune system suppressors caused by severe stressors can be detrimental.

    Such stressor like martial strife,  bereavement,  long term caregiving,    living in unfavorable conditions,  and the reaction to life changing events (floods,  earthquakes,   fires,  tornadoes  and  hurricanes.)   Amongst  the  protective factors physical fitness appears to be a very important positive   mediator  of  white  blood  cell  activity  in  the  presence  of  psychological stressors….     

    This all said,  I think it would be interesting  to compare cancer rates        for the most stressful cities in the United States. Based upon divorce rates, commute time, unemployment rate, both violent  and property  crime also alcohol  consumption  and  those whom smoke.  Seeing  firsthand  “if ” this theory holds true under pressure. While also comparing the cities scoring highest in the  fitness index,  Top Vegan Friendly  least ~ most polluted      and State Cancer Rates  by types of  cancer.

     Over  and over  and over again  chronic inflammation  comes up in conversation  when I talk to other people ~ when it comes to preventing cancer.  When I begin to investigate what I learn  from  other  people on         the internet and read articles like this one. According to scientist at the Massachussetts  Institute  of  Technology, chronic inflammation having    been linked to DNA damage and increased cancer risk. 

    Chronic Inflammation  can  be caused by many  factors, including infectious agents such as Helicobacter Pylori  and  Hepatitis C, which         are already known to increase cancer risk  in  the  stomach  and  liver respectively.   The  inflammatory  response  produces  cytokines,  and   chemicals in the immune response  that  encourages cell proliferation        and suppress apoptosis, which  can  also  contribute  to  an  increased  cancer risk.      Use Vinegar ~ NOT Roundup!!!

      In  most  normal situations,  damaged  induced  DNA  during  the  inflammatory response  is corrected  by  the cells internal error repair  system. However,  if this is not  functioning properly, there is a higher chance mutation will occur,  increasing  risk  of  cancer.  Knowing  the connection between these  factors  and  cancer  can help doctors better   guide patients who might be at risk of inflammation induced cancers.

   In a study collaborated with James Fox, Director of  Comparative    Medicine at M.I.T., and one of  his students.  Chung – Wei Lee induced        mice with infected H. pylori and those lacking the proper DNA repair mechanism.  Were more likely  to have pre – cancerous regions in the stomach.  These results indicate that individuals who are less able to  perform DNA damage with chronic inflammation.

    Such as patients  with ulcerative colitis,  are more susceptible to          cancer than others,  according to Lisiane Meira research scientist at          M.I.T.  However,  there is another effect of  inflammation that might influence this — during inflammatory response to infection. Immune         cells like macrophages and neutrophils excrete oxygen and nitrogen    species that might damage DNA.

    Still  yet another  for  instance  where  a  traumatic  experience  to            your body to initiate  an inflammatory response  would be running  a marathon  as a repair mechanism.  Dr.  Arthur Siege MD., Director of  Internal medicine at Harvard’s Hospital in Belmont, Massachusettes     states, as  the  miles  pass  skeletal  muscles  stiffen  and  leak,  injury signaling enzymes into the blood.

   With your body not knowing if you ran a marathon or got ran over              by a reindeer.  It reacts to injury  by  mounting  an emergency  repair response.  Your adrenal glands and brain produce the stress hormone cortisol  and  vasopressin;  your damage muscles  churn out  proteins     called cytokines…. which will trigger  your  liver  to  start  producing C-Reactive Protein.    Hitting The Wall It’s Called!!!

     The  results  is  what  Dr.  Siege  calls,   “an inflammatory storm”           where throughout your body that sets the stage  for some potentially    adverse consequences.  Early on, marathoners weren’t sure “if ”  the       heart  was amongst the muscles being stressed.  However  in  recent       years they’ve confirmed that it most definitely is.

     In 2001,  study published in the American Journal of  Cardiology,             Dr.  Siege  and  his colleagues analyzed the blood of  marathoners less       than 24 hours after a race and found high levels of inflammatory and coagulation markers that are also associated with heart attacks. Then   came  a  2006 Circulation Study, using ultra sound  and  the blood test         of  60 marathon  finishers.

   The researchers found after a race some runners hearts experience difficulty refilling chambers.  The researchers  also  noticed  abnormal  blood pump  from the right side  of  the  heart to the lungs.  This  study   found  people who’d average  at least  45 miles a week in training were significantly less likely  to suffer heart damage  than  those  averaging          35 miles a week or less.

    This  makes  sense  to  Dr.   Siege:  your body suffers damage when           you exert  yourself  during training,  however,  then repairs itself  and  becomes stronger for it (No Pain ~ No Gain.)  During the race and  for several hours  afterward,  the  “systemic inflammation”  significantly increases your risk of a cardiac event particularly if  your middle age         and have silent coronary artery disease.

    Two Things Happen:  1.  inflammatory mediators released during     muscle injury may make them thin and the fibrous plaque lining your artery walls may rupture.   2.  inflammation can lead to an imbalance          of  coagulation factors making blood more susceptible to clotting and        The Result:   A  HEART  ATTACK!!!   and back pain?

     The  beneficial healing affect  of  Aloe Vera Juice  (plant)  makes it                one  of  the  most  miraculous herbs  while  it  seem mythical in nature.     John P. Heggers,  PH.D. of  the University of  Texas School of  Medicine states,  Aloe Vera boost immune  function  and  destroys cancer tumors because  of   it’s   strong  immuno – modulatory,   anti – inflammatory,        anti- bacterial  and  anti – viral actions.    (Certified Brands!!!)
