The Forbidden Cure

  With the epidemic proportions of 8,000,000 people dieing yearly globally from  cancer.  While  500,000  of  those  here  in the United States,  with that steadily increasing  (in 1900 1:20 got cancer, 1940 1:16, 1970 1:10  and  2000 that figured climbed to 1:3.) When given the prognosis that you have cancer  while  faced  with  second opinions  and  constant  fear.  People seek options when doctors tell them nothing else can be done  and  to get your affairs in order… we have to allow the cancer to run it’s course.

   When people enter into that fight or flight scenario …they seek whatever means they can  find  for that answer to cancer. I found in the aftermath it’s alot easier to discover without the stress of time weighing you down.  Often for many cancer patients that avenue takes them  South of  the Border, with the general conclusion: “the grass might be greener.”  However, unless you choose the right clinic that might be the wrong approach. You have to keep your faith and hope something good will come of it!!!

   With one exception  to that option being renown  Dr. Francisco Contreras,  at Oasis of  HOPE. With many patients given up on by main stream medicine or red flag  by insurance  because age is against you.  Donald Factor,  son of cosmetic giant Max Factor; while  in 1987  was  given  4 months  to live  with lung cancerso he turned to Oasis of  HOPEAt  Oasis of  HOPE they  believe  in transforming negative automatic thoughts into positive energy.

   What this thought process does is helps the body to heal on it’s own and what  Dr. Francisco so aptly does is combine non traditional with the very nature of conventional treatment…. making radiation  and chemotherapy more purposeful.  While using metabolic therapy to help the body to detox and  that aids the patient to renew themself.  Through  emotional  support and  spiritual  fortitude.  Clinic Trials  at  Duke University  states  faith  is directly related to overcoming chronic illness and they also practice some    of the same procedures at Duke University Integrative Center.

Surviving Cancer Is Possible

   Researching cancer is an undaunting task, however, living with a terminally ill cancer patient  in the past.  Made this website a walk in            the  park  considering  that  experience  as my heart  goes out to those        that do. A nursing home is a tough choice when most seniors consider            it a place  to be dumped  to death  and  their independence taken  from            them as they walk through the  front door.

    My personal experience and motivation for this website is help with               the toughest parts  of  dealing  with  the most challenging parts of those experience. Sarcoma is probably one of the worse cancers a patient can   garner and when that’s combine with those types usually being amongst       the rarest of cancers… with little known about those types it can become emotionally taxing.

    Leiomyosarcoma  and  being treatments given it can be gut wretching     difficult  and  unresponsive  with  the roller coaster ride  taken  from the     time, hope  and  disappointment.  Although when you consider the story From Incurable To Incredible  and  this  great  read  from Tami Boehmer          of  Yvonne Cooper of  Cincinnati  overcoming this very incurable through      the Bill Peeples Protocol and Dr Elyse Lower at UC Barrett Cancer Center   or the right doctor elsewhere that can be  found in  forums

    Another beacon of  light is the shining example of  Suzie Siegel  from              the Sarcoma  Alliance,  telling  of  what  she went through  to  become a survivor as well.  A  former  newspaper  editor  of  the  Tampa Tribune,    Suzie provides support  through her experiences  for  the MD Anderson Network  and  the Sarcoma Alliance.  

    Although another interesting way of putting mind over matter and    telling yourself,  “what’s wrong  with having cancer  and  still living a normal life while  prevailing  is Kris Carr. Whom  is  a New York Best- Selling Author of Crazy Sexy Cancer and how she manages her slow ~ growing epitheliod hemangioendothelioma.

   While promoting healthy eating  and  joyful living  while  drinking          green smoothies every morning. While admitting it may not be a long      term answer,  however,  at this time they work  for her and in the last       eight years she has proved  the medical profession wrong. While still     living  her  active lifestyle  that  promotes cancer survivorship,  also            she isn’t the only advocate of this lifestyle??

Cancer Survivorship

    In 2005,  at 41 years old,  Anita Mitchell  was  diagnosed  with Stage IV     colon  cancer.  Her  cancer  already  metastasized  and  had  seven  tumors on her liver was to large  to  be  removed surgically.  After  her  diagnosis:  Anita underwent  some surgery,  chemotherapy,  liver  resection  surgery  and  radio  frequency  ablation  a  technique  that  uses  a  special  type  of electrical  energy  (radio  frequency  to  heat) and  kill tumor tissue.  After  her treatment  Anita entered  into  the  Fred Hutchinson Cancer  Research  Center Survivorship Program while learning about cancer awareness.

Anita is Founder and Program Director for  ColonStars.org

   In building this website up  from scratch,  I  was always open minded enough  to read the best of  the best books on the market. One such book:  Defeat Cancer  NOW  by Tamara  St. John whom also spent thousands of countless hours researching how cancer cells work,  and also the natural approaches  to  health,  biology,  biochemistry  and  epidemiology. While  investigating the alternative method, with proper detoxification without lysing symptoms which served her well in her battle with breast cancer.

While galvanizing as one to allow  our legislators  know  the collective vote  is  louder  and more powerful  than  the richest corporate lobbyist.  As  Frederick Douglas said, “power  concedes  nothing  without  demand…. it never has  it never will!” She started her own movement to get others to rally around a cause.

    Tandy Ricea  legendary name  in  The Nashville Scene;  tela manager,  agent to Tom T. Hall,  Porter  Wagner,  Waylon  Jennings  amongst  others had a setback in November 2009, while having a PSA test  and  told  he  had prostate cancer which also spread into his lymphnodes.While to this day he  states  his personal turning point  came into his life  when he  was  directed  to the Pearl  Point  Cancer  Foundation.  While the lesson he took  from this  life changing events  being  you  have – to  –  have  courage  when  the  chips  are down to complete your bucket list.

    Dr. Richard Becker,  D.O.,  is  a  holistic  physician  from  North Texas; where he  and  wife Cindy host YourHealthTV.   In 1997,  Dr. Becker became   a cancer survivor himself  when he overcame Hodgkins Lymphoma.  Whom better to ask, because during that time he  and Cindy immersed themself  in the  world  of  natural  healing  and  today  his  cancer  is  still  in  remission. If you watch his show  religiously  like  I  do ~ you  will  start  to  realize  the importance of   supplementing  during  chemotherapy  with antioxidants in  the there after and always.

  This is an option, however, when body temperature reaches these heights they can be considered quite extreme.  In 1888, Dr. William B. Coley founded Coley’s Toxin. Doc Coley being a Harvard Medical School Graduate, eminent New York City surgeon  and  cancer researcher.  Stumbled  across one of  the most  intriquing  findings  ever  made  in  cancer  research,  what  Doc Coley discovered  was cancer  cannot survive  in  an environment of  temperatures more  than  40 c (107.6 f).  Before  going  the  Alternative  route  you  should always  seek  the  advice of  a clinic openminded to both therapies?                  Sharon Brockman Testimonial

   One touching story  that I crossed while researching every aspect for this website is the Hillary Quinn Kind case  from Detroit, Michigan.  Hillary was diagnosed with stage III B melanoma in October 2004  and  was told 5 years would be all the time she had left. While proving them wrong by three years, Hillary developed a special relationship  with  Dr. Patricia LoRusso whom is developing  personalized therapies today  for those cancer patients  with  the highly  agressive  BRAF wild type  metastatic melanoma  at  the  Karmanous Cancer Institute. In her limited time….  Hillary  confronted  her  health issue with bravery,  courage  and  looked at life as a simple gift.

  Cindy’s Miracle Story: God told Cindy Russell in December 2006 sometime during the upcoming year she would be all set to enter into the Pearly Gates. However that he would give her a second chance, on March 17th 2007, Cindy was diagnosed with a massive cancerous tumor (bile duct having consumed  75% of  her  liver.)  Today  considering  her  experience  “The Journey,”  after some of  the nation’s top cancer centers pronounced her terminal  and  given six months to live. She met a doctor from a small valley in Pennsylvania that saved her life.

Dr. Jerome Canady

    An  inspiring  cancer  survivor  story   for  Magician  Daniel Cullen  who      has directed The Maze, which is a mystery performance  featuring a unique brand of  mentalism  NOT seen in typical magic Shows. However, The Maze isn’t just about entertainment,  it’s about 1,000 students @ week  on College Campuses  across  the  nation signing up ….at  the  show  for  Be The Match for a bone marrow registry.

    The  concept  stems  from  it’s  founder  and   fella magician Jim Munroe, whom being a Leukemia survivor himself  knows of  the intrigue of  waiting, before a 19 year old  female was brave enough to give him what he needed to live. Jim says, ” he  was  literally  dying  than  receiving  and  in  the  darkest hour…. GOD completely changed his life.”  THE Maze  is  a completely FREE show and  NON – profit  helping Leukemia patients overcome!!!

    Sarcoma Survivor,  Joe Ginem was only 15 years old,  a budding violinist when  pain in his arm  and  shoulder prompted  a very shocking  and  surreal diagnosis of Osteosarcoma. Living only 25 miles away from Odessa, Florida and the Moffitt Cancer Center is was very fortunate. Because for 2 years and six days a week this hospital would be his second home.  Soon realizing that a shoulder replacement  would be necessary…. it was performed  by  one  of  the leading Orthopaedic Reconstructive Oncology Surgeons in the Nation.

   Charlie Lustman  born  in  Munich Germany  on  May 8, 1965  which was   the twentieth anniversary  of  the  end  of  World War II.  Shortly there after his  family moved to Sunny California,  being a son of  a Holocaust Survivor Charlie knows what being  a survivor is all about. Charlie  survived  a  rare bone cancer (osteosarcoma) in his upper jaw that affects 1:400 million each year.  While becoming a patient at Cedars – Sinai  (Dr. Charles Forscher) in  Los Angeles  enduring 11 1/2 months  ~  22 rounds of  chemotherapy,  he also composing  songs  “Made Me Nuclear”  about his experience.

  One of the most high profile cancer fights in recent memory would have to be Farrah Fawcett as she battle  Anal cancer from late 2006 until she passed away June 25, 2009. During this time she showcased cancer awareness with courage  and  endurance  while  being  transparent  telling  her  story. While  batttling the disease on both sides of the Atlantic leading her to Germany as well as United States hospitals with a will and desire to live.

  The most unfortunate thing… about anal cancer being so rare 2 or 3 out of 100,000 cases  is  its’s  really hard to  find information on the internet about this type of cancer.  When I view videos  of  becoming  a  cancer survivor the qualities sticking out the most  are  those  that  survived  are optimistic  and  positive  by  natureHave  openminds  and  are  willing  to  research  it  for themself, can adapt to change and are willing to talk about.

Becoming A Cancer Survivor

    In this blog post which I gradually seek out  cancer survivor stories         and how,  they decided to make a difference in a proactive way. Telling    their stories to others by either developing a website, facebook page so    they could make a difference to others. It’s my belief  “if ” one is willing         to talk about it they might learn  from others, thereby, either being the messenger or providing a message to others with awareness.

    MY  first  installment  is  Sharon Blynn,   Ovarian Cancer Survivor;      whom has been cancer  free since January 2003.  Being the host of the      PBS Documentary, The Whisper:  The Silent Crisis of  Ovarian Cancer,         she also  founded the website Bold is Beautiful.org.   She wants to send            a message to women they can “flip the script,” on  the many traumatic aspects of the cancer experience.

  Atlanta Beer Distributor;  Howard Young,  whom  at 42 years old in     2002. He beat the odds stating that 75% of  pancreatic cancer patients        die  within the  first year  of  this  virtual  death  sentence.  Seeking the expertise  of  Dr. Daniel Von Hoff,  at  the  TGen Research Institute  in Phoenix, Arizona. They believe starving the  cancer of  it’s  fuel source Glutamine shuts off the fuel source for cell division.

    Leiomyosarcoma Survivor: Donna Lyn Giegerich of New Jersey, whom   back  in  October 2006,   developed  right  flak  pain  toward  her back  was diagnosed  with  4  in a million  rare  cancer set.  After  being  examined  by Hematology ~ Oncology of  Central New Jersey.  She was told to get filmed     at Meridan Healthcare  in Red Bank, New Jersey.  After which she endured      a 10 hour complex cancer surgery, general radiation, cyberknife radiation and chemotherapy  for a year.

   Another cancer  that can be  tough to treat  is mesothelioma,  however,      for  Heather von St. James  of  Minnesota  whom  endured the test of time. She battled through it with the assistance of her loving husband Cameron and the team  from Brigham and Womens Hospital in Boston. Coming out  on top today she provides answers to cancer to those whom contact her.

  Nashville  resident  and  lung cancer survivor;  Jenny White  is  a  living  example of  battling and beating the odds. While being the Director of  the Tennessee  Lung  Cancer  Alliance  Chapter,  she  has  the  opportunity  to shine a light on Lung Cancer  by  being  a living example.  A Startling  fact    is  80 percent of  those diagnosed with lung cancer are people that never smoked  or former  smokers who quit decades ago.

     Bonnie J. Addario Lung Cancer Foundation  started after successfully beating  lung  cancer  herself  in 2006.  Her purpose was giving something  back helping other patients  NOT become a victim themself.  The  facts are that every year 1.4 million people world wide die of lung cancer and that’s 450 people daily.  With  only 15%  of  those diagnosed survive  past 5 years making it the deadliest cancer globally.

    Ivelisse PageChairman  and Co – Founder of  Believe Big,  also being diagnosed with Stage 4 Colon Cancer in 2008.  Statistically  she  had  less than  8 percent chance of  survival,  however,  four years  later  she’s  still cancer  free.  In 2011,  Ivelisse  established  “Believe Big”  to  help  families navigate their own cancer journey  by providing the tools  and  resources they need to advocate  for their own health.

    Nick Koulouvarius  being  an  esophagael cancer survivor  since  2002         went  another route  with  a  very different story  being told.  Following his Oncologist supervision:  Dr. Hitesh Patel  fought  his  cancer  with  both the traditional…. chem/radiation….  along  with  alternative  means. When the cancer recurred  after having 40% of  his stomach  ~  60% of  his esophagus removed  Nick believing in the alternative turned to Cell Quest.

     Carla Shuford,  whom in 1958; at the age of 15 years old was diagnosed  with Osteogenic Sarcoma that which also metastasized to her lymph nodes. Osteogenic Sarcoma, the second most common type of primary bone cancer which typically presents itself in the leg or shoulder,  Since  the  time  of  her diagnosis:  Carla has dedicated her life…. with one promise of  following the Gershon Therapy to the letter.   Happy 70th Birthday… April 21… Carla!!

   Two Time Leukemia Survivor: Derrick Lucous has a telling story of faith personified and was  first diagnosed when he was 5 years old.  Having been  pronounced cured… at 10 years old…  it wasn’t until his junior year in high school that he had the leukemia flare up again.  With a thought of a broken collar bone,  after x-rays and blood test nothing showed up.  It wasn’t until  a  bone marrow test  did  he  findout the truth  and  a lucky break  from  his brother whom was a perfect match to be a marrow transplant. Today he is again considered a survivor with his motto:  live like your dying.

  Intravenous Vitamin C,  when Donna Gudauskas  of  Cherry Hill,  N.J., was  diagnosed  with  colon cancer  December 2007.   She  had  surgery  to remove the tumor, however, didn’t want chemotherapy/radiation and the harsh side effects  that comes it.  Switching to an organic diet,  nutritional supplements  and  began receiving 45 grams  of  IVC  (equal  to  500 ~ 600 oranges worth.)  While  Dr. Allan Magaziner  &  Dr. Scott Greenberg  are advocates  of  this at  Magaziner Center of  Wellness  had  levels  of  success  treating cancer…. the  Brind Institute at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, PA….  is a worthy option.

   In the  film out presently “The Cause Is The Cure,” patients who overcame explain the  fears, decisions and their other experiences. While  fighting this notorious dis-ease  that is cancer without the use of  conventional therapies. Andrea Thompson  the  founder  of  Moving Beyond Ministries  and cervical cancer survivor,  whom was given one year  to live “if ” she didn’t choose  to  do chemotherapy or radiation.

     After learning the principles of  Maximized Living  she knew she was in    the  right  place.   Maximized  Living  which  has  a  health  program  called,  The 5 Essentials  that  focuses on restoring health,  reducing stress through nutrition,  nerve supply  and  detoxicity.  Dr.  Ben Lerner,  New York Times  best – selling author  and co –  founder of  Maximized Living states,  making proactive intelligent choices  and  life – style changes.  The  average  person can significantly reduce their risk  factors  (The Cancer Killers.)

The Sunshine Vitamin

    Solitarius isn’t about treatment the medical profession provides that. What this website does is provides awareness for instances of hearing it before you hear it from your doctor through treatment.  When you have   knowledge of information,  beforehand,  through knowledge prevention   treatment maybe avoided. Just think of the beneficial aspect that would have on a broken healthcare system.

   Three quarters  of  U.S. Teens  and  adults  are deficient in vitamin D,              it’s been told….  20 minutes in the sun each day is all one needs. To keep your  daily value  at proper limits,  however,  it’s only when the sunlight        is above your head at a 45 degree angle (10 am to 2 pm)  you  gain  that proper  amount.  With  also  according  to  findings…. published  by  the Archives of  Internal Medicine.

    Between  1988 and 1994,  with the 45%  of  the  18,883  people  tested    having  30 ng/mL  or  more  of  vitamin D,  and  a  decade later  just 23 %       of 13,369  people tested having that amount. There was anticipation that there  would  be  some  decline in overall vitamin D  levels,  however,  the magnitude of decline in a relatively short period of time was surprising.

    Adit Ginde,  an  assistant  professor  at  the  University  of  Colorado     Denver School of Medicine says,  “a lack of vitamin D is linked to rickets (soft weak bones in children;  thinning bones  in the elderly,  and plays a role in heart disease,  diabetes  and  cancer.”   Also Ginde who has linked vitamin D  deficiency  to  catching  more  colds,  also  blames  sun  screen following skin cancer prevention campaigns for the change.

   Using sunscreen with as little as a 15 – factor protection cuts the skins vitamin D  production  by  99  percent,  the study notes,  as there are few sources  of  the vitamin in our diets.  Exciting new research conducted at    Creighton  University  School  of  Medicine  in  Nebraska,   has  revealed  supplementing vitamin D and calcium can reduce your risk of cancer by     an astonishing 77 percent.

    This research provides strong evidence that vitamin D is the single        most  effective supplement  against cancer.  This  study  involved  1,179 healthy women  from rural Nebraska.  One group of  women was given calcium (around 1500 mg daily)  and  vitamin D  (1100 iu daily.)  while  another group  was  given  a placebo.  Over  the  four  years,  the  group receiving  calcium  and  vitamin D  supplements  showed  a 60 percent decrease in cancer.

   Note that…. these astonishing effects were achieved on what many nutritionist  consider to be a low dose  of  vitamin D  and  the  calcium supplement was probably calcium carbonate  and  not the high grade calcium malate,  aspartate or similar forms.  So what  It  all  means?                It means “if ” you take high quality calcium supplements or premium         fish oil…. you might  be able to achieve larger percentage reduction.

    The  best  conclusion:  is  to  have  your  blood  tested  for  vitamin D deficiency. If it has been determined that are levels are below 70ng/mL.   You might want to consider building levels up by taking 10,ooo iu’s  for          a short term,  and then taking  between 2,000  to  5,000 iu’s depending         on the nature of your job (being inside or outside work.)

What If It’s True?

   In 2006,  it’s the lack of this information in this blog post that caused me severe  depression  and  my attempt  to  dig  myself  of  the  dark  hole  that is depression.  Luckily  my physician knew me  from the years of  doctoring me that determined him to prescribe  Lexapro  as the best options  for my bodily make up  and  chemistry. It’s only when you start mixing  and  try matching anti ~ depressants,  where a person dealing with depression becomes a long term issue.

   The knowledge of knowing that someone you know has  terminal illness and NOT knowing enough  to know  your making  the right decisions makes one  anxiety  striken  to  say  the  least.  It’s  that  overwhelming  feeling that  causes  depression  and  pounds  your  spirit  into  the  ground.   Unless  you know  your  own  family   physician,  as  well  as,  him  or  her  to  know  you; that  depression  could  become  overwhelming  for you.  As by watching  the person  whom  has  the terminal illness  and  is  a terminal illness wrecking havoc on you emotional state as well.

   Therefore since being a loyal observer of  Dr. Richard Becker  for  future reference: on YourHealthT.V.  and  this day  he was interviewing  one of his regular quest. Whom is Dr. Richard Blaylock…. whom is author of  the book Natural Strategies  for Cancer Patients. Which is an important game plan to fight  this dreadful disease through nutrition.  With chemotherapy  and  also radiation providing dangerous consequences as also  explain by Chris Wark in the top tag above.

   However  for the  patient receiving  the proper balance  of  healthy  foods, vitamins, minerals  and  selective nutritional supplements.  This  foundation exhibits  a slighty increase  in  the  effectiveness of  their  chemotherapy  and radiation  treatments.  Cancer treatments wages war on the body while also chemotherapy effects the rapidly dividing cells in your body.  Therefore not having the ability to recognize the rapid healthy cells lining your  G.I. Tract and the ability to absorb nutrients.

   This action also interferes with your immune systems ability to  fight the cancer. While also compromising your immune system even further. Cancer kills when it becomes evasive and metastasize, while chemotherapy and also radiation has little impact on a tumor;  that invades and spreads.  As long as it stays local…. it doesn’t present a problem. Under these type of  treatments which forces the body to adapt to the conflict and stress it causes.

   What this stress produces is chronic inflammation which suppresses the immune system  and  creates a condition that allows  the  cancer to become more  agressive  and  invasive. Chronic inflammation is  the  root  cause  of  about 70%  of  all patients  that  end up with cancer.  Thereby  “bowel flora” become disrupted with  the immune system suppressed. Nutrition Therapy selectively designed  for  treatments….  can help with the side effects while adding a pyschological boosting effect of  your treatment.

    While making the situation and condition more manageable: what one needs to consider is a low sugar diet (reducing free radical acticity),  limit soyfoods, moderate red meat  which iron feeds cancer  while avoiding the excitoxins  (MSG,  Aspartame,  H.F.C.S.,   Hydrogenated (safflower, corn, canola  and  sunflower oils),  and  caseinate  protein;  preferring chicken, turkey and pork which is easier for the body to digest.

   With some  of  the All Star Supplements  that  should  be  considered  for   their  synergistic  effect:  Curamin  &  Quercetin  for  their  powerful  cancer prohibiton and antioxidant ~ anti – inflammatory effects.  With   another  of  the heavy hitters being Berberine ~ which being a component of  Goldenseal  enhances the immune system and suppresses the growth of a wide variety of tumor cells.  While the synergistic effect of  green tea  and  ellagic acid of  the pomegranate and magnesium can also reduce inflammation.

    The most vital of vitamins is vitamin D…  which only can be obtain  from    the sun when it’s 45 degrees… overhead. Meaning during mid ~ day and not the early morning  or  later evening hours. While it does help keep cancer in check… it’s important not to assume that you have adequate amounts. That it’s also a fact 80% of the people in the United States are deficient in this one vital vitamin…. so it’s important to have blood test to determine the amount one should be consuming in supplement form.

   Other supplements a cancer patient should be aware of are oil of oregano, probotics,  colostrumgrape complex  (200mg’s 4 times a day) and turmeric mixed  with olive oil  as  a  readily alternative  for cooking oil.  With  the  last mentioned being the King amongst Kings omega – 3’s.  Which is a  powerful inhibitor of  cancer invasion,  growth while also reducing inflammation  and angiogensis. Omega – 3’s  inhibit cancer  from spreading and it’s important also to listen to your inner spirit and better judgement.

French Paradox

   Despite french people’s tendency to consume foods high in saturated fats, such as cheese,  foie gras,  butter  and  pastries;  while also drinking copious amounts of bordeaux wines. With light to moderate wine consumption being linked to lower risk of chronic inflammation, heart disease and in rare cases lower risk of cancer possibly due to the anti – aging compound resveratrol.)

   Resveratrol  is  the  compound  in  the  grape  skin  that  is  extracted  and acclaimed  for longevity.  Which  also  being  an  antioxidant protecting  the body  from  the ravages of  free radicals  that destroy  the body  and  lowers immunity. Focusing on the sirtuin gene which is usually inactive, however, when activated, Dr. David Sinclair of  Harvard  feels it extends life.

   Also it’s a belief:  that the  french paradox is a variation  of  the ketogenic   diet,  that is a medicine  used  primarily  to  treat  the difficult – to – control children who have refractory  epilepsy seizures. The diet  with  it’s  high  fat  content, adequate  protein  sources, low – carb0hydrates mimics aspects of  forcing the body into starvation  burning fats rather than carbohydrates. 

   Burning fat is a much slower process than burning carbohydrates, which therefore doesn’t make it a good diet to combine with exercise or sports. This Dukan Diet,  known  as  the  Warrior diet,  originated in France  by  a  french doctor Dr. Pierre Dukan. Although  promoting his diet for over 30 years and gaining popularity after publication  of  his book  The Dukan Diet.

   While being released in 2000, and having sold more than 10 million copies globally; being released in the United Kingdom in may 2012, and  released in the United States in April 2011.  Some  of  the  aspect  worth looking  at  is  the cheese  in  the  french  diet  may  be  the  reason  for the lower cardiovascular mortality rates. A study published in the journal ~ Medical Hypotheses does examine  the possibility  that  fermentation ~ processes peptides that inhibit enzymes controlling blood pressure and reduce inflammatory markers.

   While the adequate protein  in  the diet provides  the  enzymes  needed to carry  out  most  of  the  reactions  involved  in  metabolism,  as well as,  also manipulating DNA in processes such  as  DNA replications,  DNA repair  and  transcription. Some enzymes also act upon other proteins  to add  or remove chemical groups in a process known as post translation modification. About 4,000 reactions are known to catalyze enzymes. 

   For millenna,  global cultures  have  understood  the power of  fermented foods;  even  if  they didn’t necessarily know the mechanism behind it. While only recently has the mainstream market remembered the long – lost art of fermentation.  Boosting product kefir,  the effervescent yogurt like smoothie and  barrel cured sauerkraut   for  it’s  powerful benefit  of  being a probotic. Several studies indicate probotics, not only, influence our gut flora, but also may even effect our brains ability to handle stress.

   Other differences in the French Culture… versus… the American:  is their markets are more convenient corner store location rather than large super market  and  bulk warehouse.  Providing  fresh salads,  cheese  and  breads while being conveniently located down at the corner gives them the ability to walk to get their groceries more frequently.  Meaning  they  might  have the opportunity to buy fresher more often then we do.

   While another inherent difference in their culture  versus  the American,      is their average work day lunch break  is  two hours.  Which  is  more  than  doubled ours  and  means  they get more time away  from work  and  stress   to relax. While giving their food time to digest and enjoy themselves which is more healthy than rushing through meals.

    With long lunches and ample vacation,  in fact,  it is law  in France that every  full time employee have at least  five weeks  of  vacation.  With stress as the number one culprit for disease, it’s no wonder Americans are a much sicker lot.  Losing  more  days  each  year  for sickness  and  lost  production than  their  French  counter  parts  while  racking up  more  costly  bills  for health care.

Own Your Health

    In the book: Own Your Health, Dr. Barrie R. Cassileth Ph. D.,  Chief of  the Integrative Medicine Services at Memorial Sloan  – Kettering Cancer Center in New York City gives her take on the treatment of  cancer. She has worked with cancer patients who combined mainstream medicine  and  alternative approaches.  When  she talks  about cancer,  people  should  listen  and  she also stresses integrative medicine is not the same as alternative medicine.

    No one should ever  have any misgivings  or  misconception  of  the  facts  and at Sloan – Kettering, not only, are the tumors treated, but also, the staff takes care of the mind, body and spirit of  the patient and their families. We calm them down,  up lift spirits,  teach them how to keep their bodies strong and help alleviate pain  and  reduce side effects of the disease  and  from the therapies.

    The  philoposhy  of  treatment  is  that  strengthening  the  body,  mind          and spirit helps patients battle the disease and use mainstream treatments more  effectively. Patients have told them they could not have gone through their cancer treatments without M.S.K.C.C. services.  When asked about the patients  who  choose  to  eschew  conventional  cancer treatment ~ whether surgery, radiation or chemotherapy ~ in favor of alternative treatments for cancer the response was… they usually don’t do as well.

   In two Memorial Sloan – Kettering out patient buildings,  cancer patients and their family members can improve the quality of their lives.  While they and  their love ones are under going cancer treatment.  The array of  choices is abundant: massage,  reflexology,  Shiatsu and several other kinds of body work; spiritual healing, art  and  music therapy, acupuncture, several kinds of meditation, with hypnotherapy, guided imagery and visualization, yoga, tai chi,  Alexander Technique,  nutritional counseling,  information  also  on herbs & supplements and many more healing regimens.

   Impatients at Sloan Kettering can also take advantage of complimentary services.  On any given day,  a visitor to an impatient ward might encounter a meditation teacher, music therapists playing a live concert,  or a massage therapists.  Many of  these practitioners  might be working with the patients alone  or alongside  chemotherapy nurses,  the oncologists  or  pain  experts. Dr. Cassileth says, “we have found,  for example,  complimentary therapies  can often reduce the amount of pain medication that patients require.

  The services at M.S.K.C.C. also teaches cancer patients who want to learn how to help themselves,  there are ways to eat,  live  and  function that may help  make  the  cancer treatment more effective.”  Each  patient receives a booklet and other material with concrete suggestions, how to use nutrition, herbs, over  the  counter  remedies  and  those complementary  therapies to   “ease the way”  during cancer treatment.

    These booklets  and  classes  have helped patients deal with anxiety and stress,  backaches or muscle aches,  cold and  flu,  digestion problems,  also depression,  headaches,  nausea,  chronic  pain  and  sleep  problems.  One booklet contains warnings  about herbal products  and  supplements,  that  have serious toxic effects,  especially  when they  are  combined  with other medications, chemotherapy or radiation therapy.

It’s important for patients to know,  for example,  high doses  of  certain  vitamins can actually feed a tumor,”  says Cassileth. The overall message is that with correct information,  combined  with  mainstream complimentary therapy patients can take responsibility for their own lives.  My suggestion: is that prevention always beats treatment  and  until  you get  that dreadful diagnosis, always keep reading, learning and recognizing cancer awareness because in the future maybe our medical profession won’t be there.

Cancer Prevention in a Nutshell

   What Solitarius.org  shouldn’t be preceived as… is me playing doctor, however, it’s  helping patients  find the right doctor. What Solitarius.org   is….  is  prevention,  and  that  is  something everybody  should  strive  to  achieve.  In this blog post unlike the last of February which details most     of  the  highlighted  links  of  the website.  Explaining to the visitants the where abouts  to achieve greater access into this website.

    Prevention starts with a strong immune system,  and when you talk  “super duper”  immune systems;  we should think “mega pill theory” to jump  start  that  immune system.  Therefore  lets  take  a look  at a daily   multi vitamin and for me… one should consider a really good multi with     all your daily values pushed to the max….  providing you with the boost   you need to work effortlessly throughout the day.

    Some of the vitamins that  are  essential  and  should  be  consider  for          this   “super duper”   vitamin   packed   immune   function.   With  the  daily  value  200 mcg of selenium which provides a strong basis  for the immune system to function properly. Selenium  deficiencies  can  lead  to  impaired immunity,  increased incidences  of  cancer  and  susceptibility  to  viruses.   Also  another  vital   feature  in  a  “super duper”  immune  system,   is  also  adequate  levels  of  glutathione  and  depleted selenium levels will render glutathione levels ineffective.

  Then you have to consider a  1, 2, 3, punch of antioxidants vitamin A,           C  and  E.  Vitamin A  increases  the activity  of  white blood cells, which    attack and destroy infected cells of  the body.  While providing support         to  the  immune system  by  maintaining adequate levels  of  circulating immune cells.  Specifically,  the T- cells,  often referred to as the  fighter     cells. Vitamin A also protects your eyes,  intestines,  urinary tract  and  respiratory system.

   Secondly, vitamin C also known as ascorbic acid is essential  for the formation of  adrenal hormones  and  production  of  lymphocytes.  The adrenal hormones are important  for protection against infections. Also vitamin C  stimulates the production and function of neutrophils, a type        of white blood cells that destroys bacteria. Anybody that smokes should always consider supplementing with 1000 mg of  vitamin C.

   Thirdly,  vitamin E  is an antioxidant  that  prevents  the  formation of reactive oxygen molecules,  which permit  free radical damage. Vitamin E acting as a scavenger of toxic free radicals that damage otherwise healthy cells,  vitamin E  is  one  of  the  bodys primary antioxidants.  Antioxidants serve protect healthy cells in the body and vitamin E is an integral part of the body’s defense system.  Serving to  enhance  those  antibody  activities specifically T cell  functions of   fighting infectious disease.

The B vitamins:  while  there  are  eight  B vitamins in all,  B6  and  B12 specifically  impact  the  immune system. Since  vitamin B6  is  important  for  fat  and  protein metabolism, a deficiency  causes  altered  metabolic processes.  Low  levels  of   vitamin  B6  can  lead  to  reduced  activity  of  white blood cells necessary  for  fighting  infections in your body.

   While  vitamin B12  plays an important role in your body…. as we age  levels diminish because of our body’s inability  to absorb  this key vitamin  as well. Vitamin B12 is important for it’s role in cell growth, division and  also responsible  for  it’s ability  to  help  the white blood cells to destroy infectious organisms. Also Vitamin B6 is important  for development  and maintainance of a healthy immune system, and a deficiency can also lead   to a shrinkage of  the thymus, a critical immune system organ.

   Another key aspect is  Telomerase Activity of  a human cell,  which can         be  compared  to  as  a  wick  in a candle.  Once  that  wick  in  the candle is shortened the candle burns out  and  it’s life expectancy with it.  According  to Dr. Barry Sears,  you can maintain high levels  of  omega – 3   fatty acids  in your blood for a longer period of time; it appears that you get decreased telomere shortening and this should help you live a longer healthier life.

   Telomore activity has been measured  in  a  wide variety  of  cancerous   activity and  non – cancerous tissue types.  With a vast majority of clinical studies having shown  a direct correlation  between it  and  the presence of  cancerous cells. Telomerase  plays  a key  role  in  cellular immorality  and tumorigenesis. Telomerase is activated in  80 – 90% of  human carcinomas,  but not in normal somatic cells, therefore, it’s detection holds promise as a diagnostic marker for cancer.

Cancer Awareness

    As Solitarius.org  trends  and  more  visitants  enter  into  this  website          finding  the  information  they’re looking  for an spread the word to all of their friends.  In  the  future  I would  like to  turn  this  part of  the website      into  a  blog space  for visitants to  come  and  tell  their stories.  What I’m looking  for are  stories having a successful conclusion concerning cancer.  So anybody knowing anyone that has became a  cancer survivor  feel  free to  tell  them  to  leave  a  comment  at  the  end  of  Cancer  Patient  Forum.  About their experience, which doctor  and  hospital  they  used.  It will be posted with there name and approval at the end of  the blog.

   Throughout  life ….as you grow  &  realize certain  things…. that  being,  things usually happen  for a reason and GOD has a reason  for everything  he  puts  you  through.  To me life is about learning  from those that come into your life.  Also when your out n’ about…. it never seizes to amaze me how miraculous you run into past acquaintances by happen stance. They just show up…  when your in the same place in time and they usually just happen to deliver a message to you…. that you were curious about.

   In the early years of my adult life…. I incorporated alot  of  travels into    those years with  “no”  regrets today that I did  just that.  Today  with  the Corporate Vagabonds making  first class citizens  second rate people  and    turning the country into something  third  world.  While  also sucking  the American Spirit  out  of  people.  While high school grads are  being  force    into teaching  and  the medical  field  in  record numbers.  I always cringe when  I  hear the  horror stories….  they’re  interviewing  for  jobs  having 500 to 600 applicants to beat out  for one position.

     While the Southern States  are  being overtaken by illegal immigrants          (12 Million according to Marco Rubio.)  As I hear stories that even some of the neighbors in Cincinnati, they live 12 on top of each other in houses with pitbulls  in  the  yard  (a Red Flag here)  while taking over the trades|which trades I wonder?  I’m all about foreign influence…. being that they’re here legally with good intentions…. it makes  for a tremendous melting pot!!!!

    However,  in Greece …. without 12 million illegal immigrants  enrolled upon  their dismantled Universal Health System  which  will  put  a  heavy burden  on One Nation Under God.  When it appears to me…. that the only reason our  Government  with  their  infinite  wisdom….  allowing this  so they can  empower States like California, Colorado and Florida into their  mighty way  of  thinking. This  is  all  fine  until  it  all  back fires  and  the  Goose  Laying  The  Golden Egg  Is Dead and Gone!!!!

    Traveling as you go through life makes for interesting times especially  when your young.  Within those wonder years …. I can still remember the people talked to and what was said.  I’ve  probably talked  to  over 10,000  people in my life and I never met a person that didn’t teach me something.  However,  most  can  allow  themselves  to  be  shut off,  shut in,  thinking they’re better then or know more than the other person. With an attitude like that… they lose out  on the real spice of  life.

   Within everything you can  find criticism  and  criticism in everything is human nature,  however,  what  I  just  typed  in  those last  four paragraphs should  fortify  your belief  in cancer prevention. What I  forsee in the  future is a medical health disaster ready to rear it’s ugly head in denial. When you study human anatomy which I have  for the logic of this website.  It  amazes me  how  the human body organs works in unison…. with  the  thought  that the brain has a protective barrier preventing toxins  from entering into it is  phenomenal in it’s own right.

    Another part of  the human anatomy that’s interesting is how it repairs itself  during mini heart attacks.  As  blood  “back flows”  into vessels to help feed  the  heart during these mild heart events.  Also  interesting  is  that  the  “severity” of heart attacks. When you think what might kill one heart attack patient…. might not even phase the next…. it’s all based upon your tolerance to pain and staying positive throughout the event.

   Still another phenomenon is how DNA replicate themselves…. to form a whole  new  you  by  the  end  of  the  day.  My  point  being consuming a well rounded nutritious diet,  regardless of body mass index;  can prevent cancer by keeping the immune system going strong and  in working order.  It’s also the  ORAC  values  of  antioxidants, vitamins, minerals  or  supplementation that helps you stay healthy through your Golden Years.

    Within  Cancer Quick  Facts  @  Solitarius.org being what is and stated that prevention might prevent treatment. It’s pay me now or pay me bigger later, however, as you scroll throughout the 13 pages of  useful archives. Or it’s also possible just to click onto the month thats highly effective also.  It’s still amazing in it’s own right what content the older blogs have and what I learn each time I visit them as a refesher course  for cancer research.

    With my initial aim  of over  a  year and one half  of  getting this website going and headed in the right direction. Some of the highlights of Solitarius is my newest “top tag”  18 Major Types of Cancer.  Which provides  some  of  the  better website  on the internet  for each type.  With  some  of  the  better Medical Institutions to seek  for those treatments. Also another personally like  “blog post”  Revolutionary Procedures  with youtube videos detailing medical procedures takes some of the stress away  from not knowing.

   With  me  knowing  this  website  the  way  I  do  and  how  to navigate it.       I  feel  the  visitant  should  checkout  the  Hot Tips  for  July  Blog Post Map.  That details some  of  the preventives in your diet with another highlighted blog  post  An Ounce of Prevention  having  information  in  it  about Utah’s  “awesome”  low rates  of  cancer incidences… which leads the country.  Yet another tale is the  American Amish  versus  Native American  which  rates high amongst my list of  favorites as well!!!

    The archives which has  13 pages  of  rolling thunder having implanted      in it, blogs like Connecting the Dots that will take you to some of the better treatment facilities in the United States and abroad.  With  a  full  array  of Integrative Medicine  and  Conventional Treatments thats out in the world today  (MD Anderson being world renown.)  My  feeling  being  that  going abroad for treatment might be obsolete. We in the United States , however, need to start  finding ways to make health care more affordable.
