Testicular and Thyroid Cancer

    Testicular Cancer: the most common cancer in males aged 20 – 39 years, the period of  peak incidence,  and  rarely seen before  the  age  of  15  years. Testicular cancer has one of the highest cure rates  of  all cancers: in access of  90 percent essentially 100 percent  “if ”  it has not spread (metastasized). Even  for the  relatively  few  cases  on  which malignant cancer  has  spread widely, modern chemotherapy offers a cure rate of at least 80%.

    It’s not clear what causes testicular cancer,  however,  doctors know  testicular  cancer quick facts  occur  when  healthy  cells  in  a  testicles becomes altered. Nearly all testicular cancers begin  in  the  germ cells –  cells  in  the  testicles. What causes germ cells to become abnormal and develope immature sperm that turns into cancer isn’t known.

   Thyroid Cancer:  a  thyroid  neoplasm  that  is  malignant  which  can  be treated with radioactive iodine  or  surgical resection  of  the  thyroid gland. Most often the first symptom  of  thyroid cancer  is  a  nodule  in  the  thyroid region  of  the  neck.  However,  many  adults  have  small  nodules  in  their thyroids, typically under 50% of these nodules are found to be malignant.

   Thyroid nodules are of particular concern when they are found in those under the age of  20 years old. The prevention of benign nodules at this age is  less  likely,  and therefore,  the  potential  for  malignancy  is  far  greater. Germ cell tumors, are more likely to be found in the first two decades of life. Malignant  germ  cell  tumors  include  dysgerminomas,  endodermal,  sinus tumors, embryonal carcinomas, non gestational choriocarcinomas.

    Teratomas,  which  can  contain tissues  from all three germ cell layers  (ectoderm,  mesoderm,  and  neuroderm  are  the  most  common  germcile tumors).  Benign  mature  teratomas  contain  mature elements,  whereas, malignant  teratomas  contain  immature  elements  and  are  graded  out accordingly to the amount of immature neural tissue. Also when it comes    to getting thyroid and breast cancer make sure of your iodine levels.

Sarcomas and Skin Cancer

    Sarcoma is a cancer: that arises from transformed cells of mesenchymal origin, thereby, malignant tumors made  of  cancerous bone,  cartilage,  fat, muscle, vascular or hematopoietic tissus are often, by definition considered sarcomas.  This  is  in  contrast  to  a  malignant tumor originating  from  the epithelial cells,  which  are  termed  carcinomas.  Sarcomas  are quite rare – common malignancies  such as breast,  colon,  and  lung cancer,  are almost always carcinomas.     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2epwNS63Ow  https://www.google.com/webhp?=UTF-8#q=leiomyosarcoma+videos

    When your told by the medical profession their  is no HOPE  for your      case just go home and  plan  for your departure.  It’s best to start looking     for your  alternative   facts on cancer  and  for  a  type of  sarcoma called  “Leiomyosarcoma.”  Just might be  found in the book  From incurable To Incredible  by  Tami Boehmer….  page 123  she  states,  “The  Bill Peeples’  angiogenesis  Inhibitors  Cocktail  developed  by a man in Florida whose wife was told that it was hopeless.   The BPC Cancer Protocol!!!

    After  her  surgeon  found  mutiple  LMS tumors  throughout her abdomen which  LMS  effects only  four out of a million cancer patients. His wife went  on  this  protocol,  and  three  months  later  all  of   her  tumors  where  gone. The  protocol  based  on the  theory  of  angiogenesis,  which also  targets the development  of  blood vessels cancer cells  needs  to  survive and prosper. It recommends  low  dose  chemo treatments  for active disease,  along  with  a cocktail of cancer fighting supplements.   Liposomal Supplements ?

    Which “if” taken at certain levels inhibits the growth factors tumor cells   express.  You  can  find  more  information  from  CancerProtocol.com  or  an online resource called ….Association of Cancer Online Resources  (ACOR)  or from Dr. Elyse Lower  whom  Yvonne Cooper  had  as  her  Oncologist  in this extremely informative book !!!!! 

Some other options out there is Dr. Etienne Callebout in London, England that is helping  a Facebook Friend of  mine.  Also checkout Jeannie blog post and the modified version of the Pepples protocol and Callebout has his own. Immunotherapy also has shown promise with Leiomyosarcoma.

    Skin Cancer: other wise known as skin neoplasm are skin growths with differing  causes  and  varying  degrees  of  malignancies.  The  three  most common malignant skin cancers are basal cell carcinomas, squamous cell and  melanoma,  each  of  which  is  named after the type  of  skin cell  from which it arises.  Unlike the types in the lung, pancreas, stomach…et cetera, only a small minority will actually die of the disease.

    Basal cell carcinoma is the most common skin cancer  and  the most common overall.   Although,  it is a cancer,  it’s  likelihood  of  spreading        is quite low,  however,  if neglected it can grow locally. Thereby, removal,    is recommended  and  being readiation and surgery is effective.  Surgery has   a better cosmetic effect than radiation and with radiation being  far more costly with added risk of secondary cancers resulting in the future.

   To seal the deal one must endure twenty or more sessions of radiation. Compared to just doing one surgery with a post operative follow up. Also Moh’s surgery is different from regular surgery because while the patient and surgeon waits.  As a  pathologist immediately evaluates the removed tissues  and provides  information  to  the  surgeon…. on whether or not to further remove  skin tissue with tumor cell being  necessary.

     Squamous cell  or  basal cell carcinoma  are  highly  likely  to  be  cured       if    found  early  on  and  treated properly.  However,  melanoma  a  cancer that begins  in  the melanocytes…. the cells that produce skin coloring  and pigment known as melanin. Which helps protect the skin from the harmful effects  of  the  sun  is  always curable  in  its  very earliest stages, although, melanoma accounts for only a small percentage of skin cancer.

   Melanoma does account for more than  75,000  cases of skin cancer and  9,000  of  the nearly 12,000 skin cancer deaths each year.  Also there are a few  rare  types  of  skin  cancers,  such  as  Keratoacanthoma,  Merkel Cell  Carcinoma,  Skin Lymphoma,  Kaposi Sarcoma,  Skin Adexnal tumors and  sarcomas.  You can  findout  more  about  them  and  other  non-melanoma cancers  at www.cancer.org and  this  section  on skin cancer would not be complete with0ut telling the Eva Cassidy Story.

   Eva Marie Cassidy (February 2, 1963 – November 2, 1996)  an American vocalist  and  guitarist known  for  her interpretations of  jazz,  blues,  folk, gospel,  country  and  pop  classics.   In 1992,  she released  her  first album The Otherside  followed by the 1996 solo album entitled Live at Blues Alley. Although,  honored  by  the  Washington Area Music Association;  she was virtually unknown outside her native Washington D.C. when  she  died  of melanoma in 1996.

     In 1993,  Cassidy had a malignant node removed  from her back;  than    three years later  during  a  promotional event  for her  Live at Blues Alley Album in 1996. Cassidy noticed an ache in her hips which she attributed to stiffness  from painting murals while perched a top a step ladder. The pain persisted  and a  few weeks later,  X-rays revealed that  the melanoma had  spread to her lungs and bones.

    Her doctors estimated she had three to  five months to live,  Eva opted     for aggressive treatment but her health deteriorated rapidly. In the early  autumn  at  a  benefit concert  for  her  at  the Bayou  she  made  her  finale closing the set with  “What A Wonderful World”  in  front  of  an audience    of   friends,  family  and  fans.  Additional chemotherapy  was  ineffective   and  Cassidy died November 2, 1996.

   Only after her death ~ did her music catch on with the Cd  “Songbird” which eventually  sold 100,000 copies.  This link into her website is not a copyright infringement  because the link takes you directly  into her own website in my way of  honoring her determination in song of  preserving   her  entire career  and  until  she  was  gone  we  found  her  true style  of  excellence in sound….       http://www.theskincancercenters.com/

Liver, Lung, Pancreatic and Prostate Cancer

   Liver Cancer:  hepatic  cancer  originates  in  the  liver,  from  malignant tumors that grow in the surface or inside the liver.  Liver cancer should  not be confused with liver metastasis,  which  are  cancers  that  originate  from organs elsewhere in the body and migrates to the liver.  The  biggest  known cause  of  liver cancer just might happen to be the chronic Hepatitis B and C infections can lead to liver cancer   (You can’t live with a unhealthy liver!!)

  Hepatocellular carcinoma accounts for most liver cancer and this type of cancer occurs more often in men than woman. It is usually seen more often in people, age 50 or older,  however, age does differ in different parts of the world.  Childhood  vaccinations  against  hepatitis B  may  reduce  the  risk, however, avoid drinking excessive amounts of alcohol. If you have chronic hepatitis or known cirrhosis, periodic screening with ultra sound or blood alpha fetoprotein test may help detect liver cancer early.

   I happenstance across a blog post “The Cancer Assassin,”  telling of  the  BitterSweet Beneficial Effects of  Intravenous Vitamin C and chemotherapy in unison alleviating the harsh side effects. Laura York  from Portland, Ore. being  a  Survivor and  Showing  Strength High a Top The Mountain. While being diagnosed,  March 24, 2010  at age 38,  with  a rare stage IV liver/bile duct cancer called cholangiocarcinoma has withstood the test of  time.

      Facts About Liver Cancer: Scientists believe people with certain risk factors       are more likely than others to develope liver cancer….

      Caring4 Cancer|What Causes Liver Cancer:  Generally cancer begins when genetic mutation (changes in certain genes) turns normal healthy into abnormal cells.



     Lung Cancer: a disease characterized by uncontrollable cell growth in tissues  of  the lung.  If left untreated, this growth may spread beyond the lung  in  a  process  called  metastasis  into  nearby tissue and,  eventually into other parts  of  the body.  Most cancers that start in the lung,  known      as primary lung cancers are carcinomas that derive from epithelial cells.

     The main types of  lung cancer are small cell lung carcinoma  (SCLC),   also called oat cell cancer,  and  non – small  cell  lung carcinoma  (NSCLC). The main common cause  of  lung cancer  is  long term exposure to tobacco smoke.  While  non – smokers  account  for  15%  of  lung cancer cases,  with these cases often attributed to a combination of genetic factors, radon gas,  asbestos,  and air pollution including secondhand smoke.

   Other  common  cancers  that  effect  the  lungs  are  carcinoid,  a rare,            slow – motion disease  that  often attacks the gastro intestinal tract where  hormones are produced  sometimes showing ~ up  in the lungs.  Carcinoid tumors  are  often  benign  neuroendocrine  types  that  never  spread.  All    neuroendocrine tumors should be examine by a medical professional.

    Whereas the National Cancer Center and  National Institute of  Health      in Maryland  calls  for  some what  NEW  type of  advance treatment called    Continuous  Hyperthermic  Peritoneal  Perfusion (C.H.P.P.) When it comes  to lung  cancer,  one of  the biggest killers  of  people  is often under funded  with only $1,300 going toward lung cancer research  @  patient. Whereas, breast cancer obtains between  $20,000  to  $23,000 …. while prostate gets  $18,000.  Quite a stigma …. considering that 16,000 lung cancer deaths are recorded  each year  in  the United States  facts on cancer. (Proton therapy.)

   Within every lung disease:  Vitamin D plays a vital role  in preventing it before it happens.  With Bronchiectasis showing the airways slowly losing their ability to clear mucus and as it builds up bacteria begins to grow that causes infections which injures the walls of  the airways  (tubes that carry air in  and  out  of  the  lungs)  prevents  the airways  from  clearing mucus out of  the lungs therefore becoming scarred.

  Unlike Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease COPD includes two main conditions,  Emphysema  the  walls  between the air sacs  become damaged  due to inflammation  while the air sacs  become  floppy, while reducing the exchange of  gas in the lungs. Whereas bronchitis the lining of  the airways is constantly irritated,  inflamed causing the lining to thicken  and making   it harder to breathe.

   Whereas asthma sufferers have inflamed airways making them swollen and  sensitive. Which  make  the airways react strongly  to certain inhaled substances, therefore,  when the airways react to the muscles around them tighten  and  causes the airways to narrow  allowing less air into the lungs  producing an “asthma attack.”

    Vitamin D  a  seco – steroid  hormone  important  for  the  inflammatory   response of  the immune  system.  Studies  conducted  in  a murine model of  asthma  found  the  hormonal  form  of  vitamin D  shifted  the T – regulatory lymphocyte response  from T – cell 1  to the less inflammatory T helper cell 2 dominant phenotype.  In two studies increasing the vitamin D increased the production of Il – 10 (which is an inflammatory cytokines involved in many inflammatory diseases.)

Pancreatic Cancer:  malignant neoplasm  originating  from cells that  arise in tissues  from  the pancreas.  The  most  common  type  accounting  for 95%  of all pancreatic cancer cases,  adenocarcinoma  arising  with in  the exocrine component of the pancreas while also a slim  minority arises from  the  islet  cells  classified  as  neuroendocrine tumors.  The signs and symptoms of pancreatic facts on cancer are abdominal,  lower back pain  and  jaundice  (yellowish skin tone and tint to the whites of your eyes).

   Long know to cause blood clotting,  pancreatic cancer remains one of       the most  feared malignancies  because  there isn’t an  effective screening test,  whereas, chemotherapy and radiation are the only modesty useful.  While  surgery  the  only  reliable cure,  often  is not possible  at the stage when most people present the disease to their doctor.

   Common risk factors include family history of which  5 -10%  pancreatic cancer patients are based  off  genetics and  hereditary issues. With age the risk  of  developing  pancreatic  cancer  increases  after  age 60  while  cases  before age  40  are uncommon. While diets high in red meat,  sugar sweeten drinks  and  which  are  low  in  fruits  and  vegetables   (see  higher  risk  of  pancreatic cancer).  Also the risk are higher with  H. pylori infections, and also  having gingivitis  or  periodontal disease  while  the bacteria in gum disease acts alot like cancer cells.

    Being chronic pancreatitis can lead to pancreatic cancer “if ” your not careful.  I have a Facebook Friend  that has a crowning achievement in my eyes.  Meet  Stacey Hartwell Fields,  after  going to doctor  after doctor  for    10 years,  as  they tried  every  medicine  on  her  and nothing worked.  She decided to become retro-proactive. Becoming her own guardian angel and changing her eating habits drastically. 

    Knowing  in  her heart  what  she  had to do  from  exhaustive  research.        I decided to cut out all fats (as I learned my stomach couldn’t handle them, meaning no dairy, nuts  and very little to no meats.)  While realizing carbs for energy  is advise…. she  quickly  starting eating veggies  and  fruits as a main staple (at a  5:1 ratio) as to be careful.

    Stacey also stated she began  flooding her body with antioxidants, with Grape Seed Extract, black seed oil, gogi berries — maca her personal choice. While also  started consuming Hemp Seed Hearts  for protein  and turmeric  to help subdue her pain issues. While also eating Apricot Kernels by way of    a product called protandim, a super antioxidant until it got to costly.

  Prostate Cancer: a cancer that developes in a gland  that  is  in  the  male reproductive system.  Most prostate cancers  are  slow growing,  however, there are cases of agressive prostate cancers. Prostate cancer is associated with urinary dysfunction  as  the  prostate  gland  surrounds  the  prostatic uretha.  Changes  within  the  gland,  therefore,  directly affects the urinary function.

  Advanced prostate cancer can spread to other parts of the body and the most common symptoms  are  bone pain,  often in  the  vertebrae  (the bones in the spine),  pelvis area  and  ribs.  Prostate  cancer  in  the  spine  can  also compress  the  spinal  cord,  causing  leg  weakness,  urinary  and  also  fecal incontinence.  A complete  understanding  of  the  causes  of  prostate  cancer remains elusive. Prostate cancer is very uncommon in men younger than 45, and the facts on cancer becomes more common with advancing age. 

   Most men never realize they have prostate cancer, autopsy have revealed that men who died of  other causes.  Have showed that thirty percent of men in  their  50’s  and  80%  of  men  in  their  70’s  have  prostate  cancer.  While  also,  compounding  the  problem…. The United States Preventive  Services   Task Force  in  2012  recommended a gainst  screening  for  prostate  cancer using PSA testing.  Due to the variables involved,  risk of  over – diagnosis and treatment with most prostate cancer remaining asymptomatic.

    One  columnist  I  enjoy  reading  is  Dr. Keith  Roach  in  the  newspaper everyday, and in this letter which came  from a 81 year old male.  Reviewed the  effect  saw palmetto,  Finasteride  and  related  medicine “Dutasteride,” had  on prostate enlargement.  According  to  Dr.  Roach  saw palmetto does very little to help reduce the size of  the prostate,  as well has little impact on the risk of cancer.

   Also in Dr. Roach’s professional opinion, “Finasteride,” shrinks  prostate  size  and  helped  to  reduce  prostate cancer 25%.   However,  the  number  of  aggressive prostate cancer  seemed  to  be  higher in men taking  Finasteride and  the  number of  studies  indicate  Finasteride  might  not  increase  your  risk for cancer.  Also trials on Dutasteride also shows a reduction in overall prostate cancer but a small incease in aggressive cancers.

Leukemia and Lymphoma

    Leukemia: a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow and    is  characterized  by  an  abnormal increase  of  immature white blood cells called “blast.”  Leukemia  is a broad term covering a spectrum  of  diseases,  in turn, it’s part 0f  the broader group of diseases; affecting the blood, bone marrow ~  lymphoid system which are known as hematological neoplasm. Healing Leukemia naturally is an interesting concept?

    Amongst adults,  the known  facts on cancer are natural  and  artifical  ionizing radiation,   few viruses, such as, human T-lymphotropic virus  or  HTLV-1,  Which are also known to cause adult T-cell  leukemia. Also some chemicals  notably  benzene  and  some  alkylating  chemotherapy  agents  for  previous  malignancies.  Case control  studies…. suggest  some  petro – chemicals  and  hair dyes to the development of  some  forms of  leukemia.

   Within Solitarius,  I always like to include amazing survivor stories to inspire others  and provide direction. For Elizabeth Naylor and inspiring story it is:  beginning late summer 2009  when  she went  to her doctor to check out a nagging dry cough. After obtaining X-rays, her doctor found       a shadowy image and CT Scan and two grueling biopsies. Elizabeth was one  of  32,140  Americans  diagnosed  with  Non – Hodgkins  Lymphoma each year….  This is Her Survivor Story!!!

    Lymphoma: a cancer of the lymphocyctes,  a type  of  cell that  forms     part of  the immune system  and  typically;  is present  as  a  solid  tumor         of lymphoid cells. These malignant cells  often originate in lymph nodes,  presenting  as  an  enlargement of the node  (a tumor).  It can also affect  other organs  in which case  it  is  referred  to  as  extrandoal lymphoma. Therefore, can your diet prevent lymphoma?  Help Become A Survivor!!   http://www.greendrinkdiaries.com/how-i-beat-cancer/

    Extrandoal  sites  include  the  skin,  brain,  bowels  and  bone,  therefore, lymphomas are closely related to lymphoid luekemias;  which  originate in the lymphocyctes,  but typically,  involve only circulating  blood  and  bone marrow where blood cells are generated in a process termed haematopoesis and do not usually form static tumors. There are many types of lymphomas and  in  turn,  lymphomas are a part  of  the  broad group  of  diseases called hematological neoplasms.

Esophageal and Kidney Cancer

   Esophageal Cancer: there are various subtypes, primarily squamous cell cancer (approx. 90 – 95% of all esophageal cancer worldwide) and  adeno- carcinoma approx. 50 – 60%  of  all esophageal cancer in the United States. Heavy  tobacco  and/or  alcohol  accounts  for  approximately  90%  of  all  esophageal adenoscarcinoma,  although,  no  scientific evidence  has  been  found between alcohol and esophageal adenocarcinoma.

     Studies  have  shown  a  relationship  between   frequency  of  reflux symptoms  and  risk  of  esophageal  adenocarcinoma.  The constant acid reflux will irriate the lining of the esophagus and complication can occur, such  as  Barrett’s esophagus. Those individuals whom develope  Barrett’s esophagus are more than  40 times  likely to develope esophagael cancer.

   Kidney Cancer:  high  blood  pressure  can damage your kidney’s and increase your risk  for cancer.  Other cancer quick facts  include  smoking cigarettes,  which can double your risk of  the disease,  while  regular  use      of  NSAID’s  such  as  Ibuprofen  and  Naproxen;  might increase your risk   by  51% and being infected with the hepatitis C  virus provides a stronger than normal possibility.

    In the U.S.A.  there  are over 50,000 newly diagnosed cases  of  kidney cancer cases each year, causing over 13,000 deaths annually. Worldwide approximately  208,000  cases  of  kidney cancer are diagnosed annually accounting for nearly 2% of all cancer victims.  Regions  in  Asia & Africa have the lowest rates with North America having the highest rate.

     The  incidences  of  kidney  cancer  in  the  developed  world  has  been  steadily increasing  over  the  last  three decades.  Leading  some  experts         to  believe  there  is  a  close link  in the parallel rise  in  the  rate  of  adult obesity.  Mechanisms  from obesity  and  inactivity play a role in cancers included increased hormone levels,  alterations in insulin levels,  chronic hypertension and damaging inflammatory agents.

Cervical and Colorectal Cancer

    Cervical Cancer: infections and some types  of  human papilloma virus          is the great risk  factor  for cervical cancer.  While other cancer quick  facts  includes  human  immuno  deficiency  virus…. being  the  two major known culprits.  And The  wide  spread  introduction  of  cervical  screening  by  the  Papanicolaou test (Pap smear)  for cervical cancer,  having  been  credited,  with dramatically reducing incidence and mortality of  cervical cancer.

   Gynecologic Oncology  including cancers that arises  from the ovaries, uterus, cervix, endometrium, uterus or vagina and vulva. Once again like breast cancer one of the biggest risk factors is unopposed estrogen. When    you hit  a  snag in your recovery one of the leading medical institutions in the world  is right here  in the United States  at  John Hopkins Hospital  in Baltimore, Maryland. Also for those living in the Great Lake Region in the United States ….you  have  a  renowned  gynecological oncologist  in  your own backyard in Indianapolis…. St. Vincent Hospital.

   Ovarian cancer  is  a  difficult disease to diagnosed  and  treat,  because it may have no symptoms in it’s early stages, and also,  because symptoms can easily be over looked  or  mistaken  for something else.  Much effort has been put into  finding  a  reliable useful test to diagnose ovarian cancer early. But unfortunately there still isn’t a good early screening test for ovarian cancer. http://gma.yahoo.com/video/miss-arizona-contestant-battles-cancer-173419661.html           Abdominal Chemo Baths???

  The OVA – 1  test  like it’s predecessor,  the CA -125  test  is  not  a  test  that should be used  for someone  with  no known problem  who is worried about ovarian cancer.  The OVA – 1  test  just isn’t designed  to be utilized that way. OVA – 1  is a combination  of  five different blood test  used  to create a single score  that  can  tell  a  doctor.  How likely  an ovarian mass…. is to become  ovarian cancer and can help the doctor choose the right kind of surgery.

    Colorectal Cancer:  occurs greater than  75 – 95%  in people with little          or  NO  genetic risk. While some facts on cancer such as older age and male gender can not be changed,  many can.  A high fat,  alcohol  (risk appears to increase  at  greater than one drink per day),  or  with  inflammatory bowel disease and  high  red  meat  intake  (E-coli),  obesity,  smoking,  and  a lack   of  physical  exercise  (approximately  10%  of  these  cases  are  linked  to insufficient activity).

  Most cases of colorectal cancer occurs due to lifestyle choices, increasing  age risk with only  a  minority  of  cases  associated  with  underlying genetic disorder.  Those with a family history  in  two  or  more first degree relatives have a  two  to  threefold  greater risk of disease  and  this group accounts for about 20% of all cases.  Current  dietary  recommendations  to  prevent colon cancer include increasing  the  consumption  of  whole grain,  vegetables  and  fruit.  While also making sure your have adequate supplies of vitamin D and reducing intake of red meat.

   On the topic of the derriere region of the human anatomy. Half of my adult life. I  had  to  deal  with  the  painful  reality  of  hemorroidal  attacks  like  so many.  Finally having this torment become unbearable, I had to deal with the harsh reality head on  and  there  is  know teacher like this experience  and  I  feel I want to pass the lesson on to the visitant of this website.

   Hemorrhoids cushions  are  a  normal part  of  the anal anatomy  that  are composed of small  arteries  (blood vessels that bring oxygenated blood from the  heart  to  a  specific  structure).  Small  veins  (blood  vessels  that  bring  unoxygenated blood from a specific anatomical structure back to the heart), and connective tissue  that  helps with the passage  of  stool  out  of  the anus. Pathological hemorrhoids which are typically….  what we think  of  when we think of those hemorrhoidal cushions.

    When  they  become  inflamed  and/or  irritated  from  either  increased  intra – abdominal  pressure  from  straining of  irregular  bowel  movements,  such  as  constipation  and  diarrhea,  lack of fiber in the diet,  lack of aerobic exercise,  aging,  and/or  an  absence  of  specific  valves  (that  helps  to  move unoxygenated blood back to the heart within the hemorrhoid veins).  As you can tell by the discription you just read the heart and colon works in unison.

   Besides working in unison does the heart and colon amongst all organs is  another explanation. Heart palpitations and high blood pressure can be also caused by iron deficiencies and/or mal – absorption meaning your body isn’t absorbing iron properly. With common causes being a celiac sprue or losing iron through the GI Tract,  such as with a case  of  a  polyp  or  inflammatory bowel disease. Therefore, you should be checked for mal – absorption and if that looks good a colonoscopy with a further review. 

   Therefore, any problems you have down in your derriere can influence and have detrimental effects  on your heart.  My  proctologist  told  me  that  those devilish hemorrhoid veins  can  sometimes  produce  heart  attacks  if  they’re left unchecked.  Which explains…. some of the heart attack type symptoms I was having (pressure in my chest, stingers in my shins, aches in the middle of my  buttocks,  shortness  of  breath, high  blood  pressure and pulse rate etc).  

   After dealing with problem for a prolonged priod of time what I realized in true hind sight is that some of the more popular creams and ointments might not be the answer.  Better choices might be products with phenobarbital  and zinc  oxide  content  in   those  products,  this  is  not   to  mention,   some  of  the more less  popular products that might produce better results.

    One  of  the  first signs of  colon cancer could be blood in the stool coming from the upper gastro intestinal tract. Once Hemorrhoids, Crohns disease or Ulcerative Colitis  is ruled out  (both which are inflammatory bowel diseases which  can  be  found  with  the upper GI  Endoscopy or lower GI  Colonscopy procedures  checking  for abnormalities.)  Colon cancer  and  polyps  can  be suspected within.

Breast, Brain, Bone & Bladder Cancer

   Breast Cancer: estrogen tell cells to grow – grow while progestrone, on     the other hand, counteracts the estrogen stimulation;  while  encouraging  the cell to mature and die on time.  Damaged  breast  tissue  that  receives   this message  from estrogen without progesterone’s ‘balancing influence‘    is the perfect setup  for the many reproductive cancers.  The Story of  Nine!!!  http://envirocancer.cornell.edu/factsheet/general/fs10.estrogen.cfm

What the F@#- is Cancer and Why Does Everybody have It?                                             Allison W. Gryphon  ~  Breast Cancer Survivor Battle

   In less than  5%  of  all breast cancer cases  genetics plays a significant        role,  while those carrying the BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations. These mutations  account  for  up to 90%  of   total genetic influence  with a risk     of  breast cancer of  60 – 80% in those affected.  While being a long – term smoker increases  the  risk  35 – 50%,  with  the role diet playing includes          a  high  fat  diet,  heavy alcohol intake  with  a dietary iodine deficiency       and  obese  nature being a perfect breeding ground.

     Also in 2001,  Suzanne Somers  was  diagnosed  with  breast cancer      while having a lumpectomy  and radiation she declined chemotherapy.    Than  again …November 2008,  she was supposedly misdiagnosed with  inoperable  cancer  by  six  doctors.   It  was  during  this  time  that  she interviewed  doctors  about cancer treatments  and  it  became the basis          of  her book; “KNOCKOUT.”   The American Cancer Society is concerned    that  her  tendency  to  over  simplify  medical  message  maybe  deadly?   However,   until  this  day  she  is  still  on  her  crusade  advocating  for  Alternative Medicine with regular guest shots on popular television!!!!

     A  study  at  the  Humanitas Cancer Center in Milan, Italy   followed          749 women  at  11  centers  in  Italy;  after surgery alone  or  surgery plus radiation.  The women between  the ages of  55  and  75 years had tumors     2.5 cm  or  less that had not spread.  This study had  found no significant difference in the return rate of  cancer among women in the two groups.

   While another 2012 study at the University 0f  Michigan  found 1,446  treated there,  about  70 percent  had  both  their breast removed  after a breast  after  a breast cancer diagnosis. Did  so  despite  a  very  low risk           of  getting cancer in the healthy breast and the researchers said in most cases the decision was driven by  fear of  recurrence.

    Through their own  fear of recurrence Susan Gonzalez (Savvy Sister) (Simple   Changes  Through  Healthy  Living),  met  Florence Strang  and wrote the book  “100 Perks of  Having Cancer,”   Florence also put a blog    on  the  internet.  Like “soul sisters”  whom  think  a like…. they both  feel  with small simple changes in your lifestyle you can have a healthy life.

    Some  of  the  other nuggets  of  the  truth  they  preach:  are through      power of  positive thinking…. you don’t have to be a victim when breast cancer or any type of  cancer arises.  Through your attitude can dictate          a  “Happy Chemo Smackdown,”   and  realize “if ”  you  don’t  feel  sorry        for  yourself….  through  mindset,   meditation   and   spiritual  exercise  (power of  prayer) can determine your outcome.  Florence and Susan        also co- founded  Cancer Plan 4 Life!!!   Marika Hamilton made a very conscious choice  About Dealing with Healing

Bone Cancer: are rare  forms of  cancer…. about  2,000 cases  per  year       that affects  any bone in the body.  Two common types of  bone cancer are multiple myeloma and bone sarcoma.  Bone cancer can also happen when tumors  starting  in  other  organs,  such  as  the  breast,  kidney,  lung and prostate  metastasize (spread)  to  the  skeletory  system  (which may best   be  tried  to  prevent than treated.)

    Multiple myeloma is the most common  type  of  bone cancer.  The  two  most  common  bone sarcomas  are osteosarcoma,  which  developes  in  new tissue  in  growing bones  and  chondrosarcoma  that  developes in cartilage. Osteosarcoma  which  occurs more frequently  in  people  ages 10 – 20  while chondrosarcoma occurs more often in adults.

    Bladder Cancer: tobacco  smoking  is  the  main  contributor  to  urinary bladder cancer,  smoking is associated with over half  of the bladder cancer cases in men  and  one – third  of cases  amongst  women. Thirty  percent  of  bladder tumors  probably result from work place exposures to carcinogens such as benzidine and 2 -Naphthylamine which is found in cigarette smoke.

   Also some of the at high risk occupations are bus drivers, truck drivers,   rubber workers,  motor mechanics,  leather workers, blacksmith,  machine setters  and  hair dressers because  of  their frequent exposure  to  hair dyes. The World Health Organization and Advanced Natural Medicine concludes  that  for  a  reduced  risk  of  bladder  cancer,  citrus  fruit,  cruciferous  and  yellow – orange vegetables  particularly carrots  with  their  beta-carotene and  selenium  contented  food  should be a part of  everybody’s diet  for it’s protectant effect   (while supplementing could be detrimental.)

Low Cholesterol and Cancer Risk

    Remember this website is for detailed information about cancer and is a centralized cancer research hub forwarding –  funneling all the information toward newer blog post  to  greater increase the content  in  future blog post. That being said,  lets examine the  issue…. does  cholesterol reduction cause cancer?  What impact does  statin drugs  have  on  you  over  the long term?   My  belief   is   to  Keep Your Cholesterol Level  In  Check No Matter What!!!!  Dr. Mehmet Oz explains how Artichoke Extract lowers cholesterol naturally.

   If lower cholestrol levels were to increase the risk of cancer, how might it   do this?  The first explanation might  be  cholesterol  is  the  basic building block  of  vitamin D…. a  substance  with  a  potent  anti – cancer  property,  and  secondly,   your  cells  need  cholestrol  to  metabolize  in  the  correct  manner.  Some elevated risk of cancer for males with low serum cholestrol levels have been noted.  What about other known cancer risk factors!!!!

    The median of these studies examined is consistent with a 30% increased risk, and  the  answer  for  female  is  less  clear,  however,  the risk seems to depend strongly on  whether  females  have  central  or  peripheral body fat. The strong influence  of   fat distribution  in  women suggest  a  metabolic or hormonal basis underlining the association.

  The cancer most consistently associated  with  low serum cholesterol levels are those of colon and lung in males, and the cervix and breast (but only for females under 50 years of age) in female. With leukemia in both sexes, while in contrast, high cholesterol having a link with an increase in brain cancer. How you handle stress determines how your body handles cholesterol

   In the book: The China Study,  counties with the lowest average plasma cholesterol levels, also have the lowest cancer rates. While this observation is open to a number of interpretations, it does not support the idea that low serum cholesterol  is  a  tumor indicator.  In aggregate,  the  trials  of  lipid – lowering interventions reviewed has shown an increase in cancer occurence (primarily mortality of approximately 24% in cholesterol lowered groups.

    Recent evidence indicates that products in the cholesterol biosynthetic pathway  affect DNA replication and cell proliferation. These findings also suggest a mechanism  by  which cholesterol lowering  might accerelate the development of tumors already initiated. The data having been rviewed in no  way  suggest  that  “treatment  of  hypercholesterolemia”  should not be pursued,  however,  in  small  sub  populations  reduction  of  plasma chole- sterol may lead to increased risk of cancer.

Oxidative Stress

   It’s said, “oxidative  stress  causes  disease…. so what is oxidative stress     a  short answer would be  when  you halve  an  apple…. when it’s exposed  to  oxygen  and  turns  brown  that’s  oxidative stress.”  While  adding  an antioxidant such as lemon and prevents oxidation that’s what this blog is  all  about.  Inside the body, damage like this  from  ” free radicals” can be detrimental and harmful (so allow antioxidants to be your prevention).

    Free Radicals  are  continuously  generated  within  the mammalian cells,  while this being  a consequence of  the use of  oxygen in aerobic respiration.  Free radicals are extremely powerful  &  dangerous DNA  damaging  agents while antioxidants are substances that prevent damage to cells caused by  free radicals.

   Free radicals are molecules that have lost an electron,  thereby becoming unstable.  These free radicals basicly steal electrons  from other  molecules in  effort  to heal themselves,  while ultimately creating  NEW  free radicals in  the  process.  By  these  stealing  electrons,  they  create  damage   DNA leading to the possible development of cancer and cause us to seek a good ophthalmologist as we age for cataract surgery.

   Free radicals are formed from a number of causes (cigarette smoke,    pollution and exposure to sunlight  are  all  just  a   few  examples of  the formation of free radicals).  Antioxidants search  for these  free radicals  and  lend them electrons,  thereby,  stabilizing  the  molecule,  therefore preventing damage to other cells. Antioxidants  turn  free radicals into waste by – product and then eventually  eliminate them  from the body.

Fungal Nature of Cancer

    This  blog post  is  taken excerpts  of  Ronald Gdanski  and others whom believe  that  cancer  has  a  fungalviral,  bacterial  and  parasitic  nature.    I’m out to discover the reliable historic data available showing that cancer researchers  initiated  cancer  in  healthy  laboratory  animals  by  infecting them with parasitic larvae  from a worm found in horses…. Proving indeed that cancer is parasitic in nature and could be a likely cause.

    Dr. Johannes Fibiger initiated cancer in his laboratory and in 1923 won the Noble Prize in Medicine for his achievement, however, later being taken back.  I  feel  what  he  actually discovered  was  that  vitamin A deficiencies causes tumors.  Oncologist advise, “at the first sign of abnormal bleeding  that one should see your doctor.”      Cancer Prevention!!!!

    Benign growth, cyst, polyp, and pre – cancerous lesions describe a mass   of abnormal  and  infected cells closely related  to  cancer  when  something triggers growth. Physical injuries that do not heal…. due to infections, also leads  to  cancer.  Rapid  doubling  of  cells to  repair  injuries  is  due  to  an increased energy field called the current of injury.

   The current  of  injury that causes human cells to double rapidly causes pathogens inside the cells to double rapidly. Human and parasitic life form cells simultaneously produce growth factors  for  membrane cells to repair the membrane.  These new cells do not knit well with the original cells then fail to heal as the injury stays infected.

    As the pathogens stay infected and become inflamed…. they continue to divide, mutate and multiple.  This lack of knitting results in metastasis and that  is  the  cause  of  cancer explained.  So armed with the knowledge that infections  and  injuries  produce essential growth  factors  that  initiate the rapid  doubling  of  cells.  What  is  needed  is  to  find  a  method  that  will eliminate the parasites that accompany injuries.

   While  most  strains  of  harmful  bacteria  (cancer cells)  are anaerobic    and can’t survive in the presence of oxygen. Friendly bacteria are aerobic needing high oxygen environment to flourish…. what can be agreed upon    is  that  hydrogen peroxide  produced  within  cells  are  essential  for  life. Father Richard Willhelm  is  the  Founder  of  the Educational Concern for Hydogen Perioxide….  educating the public on the safe use of therapeutic hydrogen peroxide.    How about the benefits of Oil of Oregano!!!!

   Dr. Lawrence Plaskett…. a  fellow  of  the  Royal Society  of  Chemistry,    believes the action of the substances in Aloe Vera activates and intensifies the immune response. It’s in this boosting of the immune system response   to antigens (foreign elements in the body) that Aloe vera has shown great promise in treating cancer.

   Being that Aloe Vera is anti-fungal, anti-viral, and anti-bacterial…. it’s believed that Aloe Vera enables the body to heal itself  from cancer and the damage done  to  it  by  conventional treatment.  When chemotherapy and radiation  are  necessary  the  immune system  is  boosted,  tumors shrink and metastases are reduced… .so  cancer  does  not  spread.  All Aloe Vera Juice Products…. aren’t created equally in terms of potentcy…. so by all means…. please thoroughly research what you are buying!!!!
