Integrative Medicine

  When conventional medicine decides to chalk you off  for being dead. Sometimes in worse  case  scenario  you’re  stage 4  terminal  and  they  don’t  want there hospitals survival rates to look bad.   Some  patients  turn  to  the  alternative  and  don’t know where to look  in  the  right place.  Thereby,  are  mislead  into  believing  over seas or another country…. maybe the answer to cancer and facts on cancer while turning to    far away places like Germany, Mexico and  the Bahamas.

  Research provides better options then those and sometimes those options are right in your own back yard.  The  Grand  Canyon  probably  one  of  the most  recognized  natural  landmarks  in  the  United  States  and  being it is  in Arizona signifies that Arizona  may  just  be  An Oasis of Healing  indeed.  While including  the  very special route through  Sedona’s Redrock country you will quickly come to realize Arizona the most Scenic State in the Union.

   To marvel and glamourize this states natural wonders and breath taking beauty isn’t the real reason  Solitarius  has made a stop here with the power of the internet.  Not far from Sedona’s awe inspiring redrock formations and amongst all it’s Health Spa’s,  Fitness Advocates and Self Help Guru’s lie the Verde Valley Medical Center with affiliation with the University of Arizona Cancer Center.  Which is well known for it’s Integrative Medical Center that is headed by Dr. Andrew Weil.

    Arizona just might be becoming well known for a Mecca of it’s various clinics small and large with the options  for treating cancer. Alternatively for it’s in these Four Corners of the United States  where  four states join as into one spot geographically.  But also,  where  quite  possibly the location where  conventional  &  alternative  medicine  joins  together  in  a practice called  Integrative Medicine.  Which also you have in Goodyear Arizona a Cancer Treatment Center of  America  providing state of the art treatment.

    Where  within  one  state  they  join  together  various  clinics,  thereby,   forming a comprehensive cancer network…. unlike anywhere  else  in  the United States.  Finding your way…. amongst those various clinics require research  for their  are  Euro and New Age technique.  A  shining  example: would  be  Healing  Pathways  Cancer  Clinic  in  Scottsdale,  Arizona that provides  naturopathic  therapies  using  non – toxic,  immune  building,         re-regulating  body  cleansing  cancer  programs without damaging  the immune system.

     After reading  the  above blog post  one might think this is all  fine if one   can  afford the cost and time off to travel to Arizona for treatment. However using this state for the horse  and  pony show…. my  feeling  is  in  any  state in which you live today ….with some research  on  your  part  you  can  find doctors that preach as part of there practice nutrition. In the Miami Valley of  Ohio…. we  have  Dr. Matthew  Holten  at  the  Holten  Wellness  Center  & Dr. Van Merkle in the Back to Health Center. Websites like Everyday Health, HealthGrades and Vital.com will aide in your search.

Enzyme Therapysome alternative practitioners claim certain digestive enzymes remove a protective coating from cancer cells allowing blood cells to identify and attack them.

   Exercise With Oxygen Therapy: cancerous cells produce far more lactic acid and lactic acid is what cells produce when they burn sugar without oxygen.

   High Dose Vitamin C: their is mixed reviews about high dose vitamin C’s impact on cancer cells, however, some research and alternative practitioners think otherwise.

   Hydrogen Peroxide Therapy: it is thought that cancer cells can’t break down hydrogen peroxide and can get past the protective protein barrier and kill the cell.

   Hydrotherapy Treatment: increases the heart, respiratory rate as well as perspiration which is important to detoxification.

   Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy: you may think it’s new technology but it’s not….     it’s being used in  the treatment  of  a  various assortment of  injuries and diseases (including cancer which is anerobic some institutions are giving it a try…???).

   Hyperthermia Treatment: research has shown high temperatures can damage and kill cancer cells, although, some medical professionals are weary of this.

   Infrared Sauna:  assists in the removal  of chemical toxins and heavy metals, while increasing oxygenation, enhancing the immune system and reducing radiation burden.

Insulin Potentiation Therapy:  people whom offer this treatment  claims it      “opens” cancer cell receptors and purports using 1/10th the chemotherapy drug.

  Low Dose Naltrexone: exerting it’s effect on tumor growth by inducing increases     of metenkephalin,  the  density  of  opiate receptors  on  the tumor cell membrane and increasing the natural killer cells in the immune system.

   Lympathic Drainage Massage: is a gentle light touch non invasive therapy        helps circulation of the lympathic system, blood capillaries, veins and activates interstitial liquids, cerebrospinal and synovial fluids.

   Ozone Therapy Treatment: helps re – establish oxygen back into the blood, whereas, cancer cells being anaerobic die when exposed to oxygen.

    Static Cupping Therapy:  is good for stimulating  the inflammatory process in    your body. Which kick starts your immune system to drain toxins out of your body.

   Vitamin D Supplements:  everybody  should  include vitamin D  in  their      Integrative treatment package for increasing their odds of beating cancer and             75% of cancer cases could be prevented with the proper amount.

The Good and The Bad Of It….

      Before writing what I want to say in this blog post,  firstly I would like to say,     “that I would like to “thank” those  visitants  that  are  helping  to  build traffic for Solitarius  in helping to spread the revelance of the content of this site.”  Especially        the information  that  is  contained  in the blogs of  July until  present….  I  feel  the  information in this entire website is revelant.  However,  if you have a tough time            finding time…. learn the  cancer quick facts  from these blogs…. you did yourself a favor, not to mention, a favor you might have done  for a friend or family member that has cancer.

     The  proper  ratio  of  carbohydrates,  fats  and  protein  are  important components of a healthy performing body that contributes directly to how well  our  body  functions. In  this  blog post….  I’ll  more  or  less type  what is needed to be told,  however, letting the videos within brighten up a other wise dull topic.  Carbohydrates which strongly affect how well you’re body  performs  and  is  important  to  realize  the  difference between simple and complex carbohydrates. 

    Simple carbohydrates including refined sugar and white flour products that turns to  “sticky stuff”  when is digested.  Causes a blood spike and then falls off quickly that is a poor decision to our health for simple reason. Some nutritionist  will  tell  you  that  starches  such  as  pasta  are  good  for  you, however,  you  might  be  ill  advised  once  you  start  to  consider  the  sugar content of  the meat sauce you use to cover your pasta.  Therefore  all  such carefully thoughtout in a health wise diet and consumed in moderation.

   The other wise carbohydrate also known as complex carbohydrate that includes  whole  grain,  beans  or  peas  and  the  other  vegetables  or  fruit provides  a  slow  even  flow  of  energy.  Although  the  sugar  found  in  fruit and the lactose found in milk is sugar. Foremostly, these sugars are absorb differently in the body,  and therefore,  shouldn’t  be  misconstrued because of the healthful benefits of the vitamins and nutrient content in them.

  Fats that is considered a secondary source of energy that’s provided in a healthy diet.  There are two different types of  fats:  the good and the bad   saturated and unsaturated.  Saturated  fats  come  from  animal  sources, such as meat, milk, butter and also from coconut oil  and  palm oil. These    fats pack together tightly and squeeze into small spaces such as arteries causing blockage.

   Thereby,  unsaturated  fats  come  from vegetables,  nuts,  seeds,  and  fish sources.  Fish  oil  or  the  omega – 3  fats  in  fish  oil  may  decrease  muscle protein  breakdown.  A  recent  study  in  the  American Journal  of  Clinical Nutrition shows that  fish oil  helps enhance the effect  of  strength  training  in the elderly. The unsaturated fats do not pack as easily, thereby, making them less likely to clog arteries.

   Protein like carbs and fat have their pro’s  and  con’s,  as well,  the best  sources of complete protein are eggs, meat, milk and fish. Therefore  when one  hears  complete  protein  sources,  they  should  understand  complete  means;  that  the source contains all  of  the essential amino acids.  Amino acids are broken down and redistributed whenever your body needs them. Unlike carbohydrates and fats, protein is not an efficient source of energy.

Bridge Over Troubled Water

   Some visitants of this website might stop and think it’s about treatment, although in some of the blog post it does explain options. However more so what Solitarius is about  is prevention being key, through the knowledge of  knowing  facts on cancer and about  your  options  in  the  world  around  you  through  cancer  research. When  you  use the  information  on the world wide web  for useful purposes it can be a powerful tool and should be viewed  as  a  “mega pill”  for cancer research.

  One of the most important aspects of this website is vitamin deficiencies that’s  enshrined  through out the website.  When you begin to hear that all vitamin deficiencies are the known cause of every known disease known to mankind.  You also begin to realize that this “blog post” maybe the basis to this entire website.  Because  it  informs  the  visitant  of  the major  vitamin deficiencies and their known impact on cancer.

   Since dreaming up the concept for this website ….when I think vitamin deficiencies…. I  think back  to  the  song Bridge Over Troubled Water  and  during the course of the last 6 1/2 years. How  forever  time  I came across trouble their always was somebody there to help get me over the troubled water. Let me tell you, “I’m eternally gratiful because I never learned how  to swim literally and figuratively.” 

  In that time of space 6 1/2 years there always was someone there to see     me  through…. one  of  the  most  popular topics  was  vitamin  deficiencies     and  “if” your  NOT  feeling right ….you  should  have  your  levels  checked     by a  doctor.  First off  let’s  talk  Vitamin A pushing,  promoting  and  even  inciting cancer growth, as a  few researchers claim that vitamin A, in test tube vitro study experiments will push stem cells to change into cells that build blood vessels.

   So when structure similar to blood vessels develope within tumor masses grown in culture,  researchers concluded  vitamin A  promotes carcinogensis activity. However to the contrary, “when a study  published  in  the  Journal of  Nutritional Biochemistry  found  that  by  administering  both  vitamin A  and vitamin C together to cultured human breast cancer cells.”

   They were more then three times as effective than the administration of either compound alone (since) when the combination of these two vitamins in synergy inhibited proliferation  by  75.7 percent  compared  to  untreated cells.  The author of this study suggest, “that the synergestic effect observed in this study is due in part to the ascorbic acids, thereby increasing the cells proliferation inhibitory effects.”

  The association of vitamin A  and  cancer was initially reported in 1926, when rats  fed  a  vitamin A  deficient diet;  developed  gastric  carcinomas. The  first  investigation  showing  a  relationship  between  vitamin A  and human cancer was performed in 1941 by Abelsetal. Who found low plasma vitamin A levels in patients with gastro – intestinal cancer.

  Dr. Jennifer Brett comments that vitamin A fights cancer by inhibiting     the production of  DNA  in  cancerous  cells.  It also slows down the tumor growth in established cancer and  may keep leukemia cells  from dividing.   A derivative of  the  vitamin  has  been  shown  to  kill the  CEM-C7 human lymphoblastoid leukemia cells and P1798 murine T lymphoma cells.

   Being  cancer  thrives  in  a  vitamin  deficient  environment….  here is     another example: why cancer generates itself  in a vitamin deficient state.  Vitamin C  is  required   for  our  immune system  to generate  and  mobilize    the specialized  cells that  fight  cancer  and  other  infections.  Likewise the  more stress your immune system is under… the more vitamin C is used and puts the immune  system even under more stress from lacking this critical vitamin.

    Secondly,  cancer cells excrete the substance;  called  hyaluronidase  that  breaks down the collagen and fibers that make up the structure of this base substance which creates the space needed for tumors to grow. Vitamin C  is required for the development of collagen  and  this  fibrous material that is important  to  all  tissue  related  problems, such as, disc injuries,  also gum  problems,  and even musco skeleton issues).  Vitamin C  also is  required for elastin synthesis which is responsible for the health of blood vessels….  safe guarding against vascular disease.

  The B – vitamins, especially  folate ( which is the synthetic  form  of  folic acid),  which is required for synthesis of DNA,  and  there  is  evidence  that  decreased availability  of  folate  results  in strands  of  DNA  that are more suspectible to damage. Thereby, deficiencies in B12 traps folate into a form that  is  then unusable by  the  body  for  DNA  synthesis (this  may  lead  to  an elevated rate of DNA damage and altered methylation of DNA) both of which are important risk factors for cancer.

    With the strongest relationship of cancer to vitamin deficiency being a  lack  of  vitamin D,  clinical studies have shown  vitamin D deficiency  to be associated with  four of the most common types of cancer  (breast,  prostate, colon and skin). It is well established that vitamin D (vitamin D3) acts as an effective regulator of cell growth and differentation in a number of different cell including cancer cells.  (The Vitamin D Solution by Dr.Michael Holick.)

   Vitamin D…. may also go beyond cancer prevention and provide also tumor therapy  by  providing pharmaceutical angiogensis inhibitors that inhibits the growth  of  undesirable blood vessels  that  tumors require for nutrient supply and growth. Thereby Vitamin E is important for the body because it functions as an antioxidant.  Because  reactive  oxygen  species damage cells and other substances in the body, vitamin E helps to prevent cell damage and helps cell membrane recover from oxidative stress. 

   Vitamin E,  also important for the functioning of a strong immune system and has been  found  to  regulate  your  bodies  metabolism, therefore, gene expression and cell signaling.  Vitamin E deficiencies are more common in people  whom  are  following  a  low  fat diet,  as vitamin E  needs  fat  to  be properly absorbed.  Also  when  fish oil supplements  are  being  used which contain omega – 3 fatty acids for a variety of health benefits. Be careful for vitamin E deficiencies because omega -3 ….has a tendency to create one.

   One risk  of  consuming fish oil  is  that  it can lead to a deficiency of  this crucial vitamin, which the only well constructed scientific study regarding the  effects  of  fish oil on vitamin E…. was published ….in a 1991 issue of …. “The Journal of Nutrition.” This study found women whom consume fish oil supplements  had  a  reduced  level  of  vitamin E  in their body and that this vitamin E deficiency  occurred  even though the fish oil supplement that the  women were taking contained a small amount of vitamin E.

   The loss of vitamin E was more pronounced in women between the ages of 51 and 71 years.  The  oil  in  omega – 3 fatty acids,  a  type  of  fat  important for proper function  of  your body.  Omega – 3 fatty acids are also critical for the general  health  of  the  nervous  system,  also  affect  blood  clotting  and  the metabolism of  fat.  If  you  are  concerned  about vitamin E deficiency talk to your doctor.  Blood test can determine…. if you have abnormal low vitamin levels which could require supplements.

    Before  closing  out  on this  “blog post,  another heavy weight mineral          to consider is selenium:  providing  additional  cancer  prevention  through antioxidant protection.  Dr. Bruce Ames of the Children’s Hospital Oakland  Research Institute determined that selenium – dependent proteins deprived of this essential mineral pave a path toward chronic disease.

  Dr. Ames subscribes to the newly developed “triage theory,” that explains why  age  related  diseases  like  heart disease,  cancer  and  dementia may have unintended  consequences  of  the mechanisms  developed  during  the  evolution  to  protect  against  any  vitamin/mineral  shortages.  There  are twelve seleno-proteins  of  which  five  are  considered  essential  and  seven  known  to  be  non essential to human health.

   Interestingly enough, an analysis of the available studies conclude that it is  the  non essential  selenoproteins ….that  may  be  the  most  important  in determining optimal health  or  progression toward  most  chronic illnesses. Extensive research confirm the critical nature of selenium in the prevention of cancer.  As  it  supports the normal immune function to halt aberrant cell growth.  While also information  published  in  the  Journal  Biochemistry….  found  there  are two types  of  selenium known as  SeMet and MeSeCys that  are  processed   to provide a chemo protective shield.

  Researchers working to determine the ability of selenium to prevent breast cancer  found  that  the  MeSeCys  form  of selenium  was  significantly  more effective  at also  protecting  against  the  insidious disease  compared to  the SeMet  versions  of  the  mineral.   The  study  found  that  breast cancer cells  processed the  two  different  forms  of  selenium  differently  leading  to  the  protective nature of the MeSeCys form.

   Recommended daily intake levels of selenium are 55 mcg., making many people deficient due  to inadequate diet.  Nutritionist recommend  200 mcg., for  optional  disease  protection,  however,  you  never really  hear  specified between MeSeCys and SeMet forms. Health minded individuals will want to ensure supplementing to help prevent cancer and heart disease.

The POWER of Positive Thinking

     As  I  work into Phrase II  of  this website the blog post will have more content with   less links. My challenge will take the background  from past blog post…. while bringing  that  information  forward  into  cancer quick  facts.  Thereby  making  it  more  useful  information  for the visitant  to  cultivate in each blog post.  This  isn’t  to say,  “that my blog post aren’t useful  and  by  all means either scroll through the blogs  on  blog roll  or  use the Archives on the right side of your computer screen for an added convenience.”

   There is alot of research in my archives, hopefully, you’ll  find the blogs     of July which is preventive measures and August which is treatment  just    as informative  as  that  one  that I’m  now  typing.  There  has  been  alot          of research  into   psychoimmunology, which  is  the  study  of  mind  over  matter  and the effect it has on the immune system.  In the “background  blog post”  in  the archives of this website.

    I talk about  Qigong “life energy”  with  which  I’ll  be honest… I had a  good laugh  first at the Chinese expense  of  NOT believing in this practice.  Only  when  I  started  to  research  what  it  was  about ….did  I  start  to  understand the principle behind the practice.  Qigong, “Life energy” is  the  practice  of aligning  breath, movement  and  awareness  for exercise, into healing  and  mediation with roots in Chinese medicine dating back 4,000 years.

  Qigong… has traditionally been viewed as the practice to cultivate and balance “chi”  life energy. Which until only recently have  the  Institution    in the Unites States  started  to  take  seriously.  Those Institutions are at Vanderbilt  and  Dana Farber….  which  warrant  consideration  into  the anybody’s battle with cancer.  If you read a sign every morning that says, “your great…. your gonna live along time ….every cell in your body starts believing and respond to those thoughts regardless of the circumstances.

   With this said,  you  better  start  thinking thoughts  that  are  positive      and powerful.  When  you  read  this  coming  from  me  you  don’t  have to believe  it   from  me,  however,  you best believe it coming  from Paul Falk. When Paul from Cincinnati, Ohio  was  9  years old,  in 1986,  was given the diagnosis  of  acute  myeloid  leukemia  at  Cincinnati  Childrens  Hospital  Medical  Center.  They gave his parents a choice standard treatment  or    and  experimental one  called the Denver Protocol.

  his experimental treatment was going to be administered to 100 children throughout  the  country.  Throughout   his   own  experiences  he  did  learn  that  of  the  100 children  that  received  the  protocol  he  was  the  only  one  that  survived.  Until  this  day  he  believes the only reason  he  survived  the ordeal  is  because  as  he  fought throughout the disease  he  stayed positive. When you stay positive….  you usually stay  a  toned – true  to  yourself  and  you  are  of  like  mind ….while you keep doing…. what you always have been doing.

   When you stay positive…. you  stay  active ….when  you  stay  active       you keep all  your  bodily  functions  in  normal working order and when you  do that…. you don’t give your body  a  chance  to  erode  within  itself.      To me that’s extremely important  and  here’s  why:  every  function that’s within your body work’s in unison.  The circulatory,  also the respiratory , muscular,  nervous and the lymphatic system  all  work’s  together  as one.  When you do something or don’t do something out of the normal it throws your system out of wack.

    The cardiovascular system  is one of  the most important systems in your body.  This system consist of  your heart and a series of  blood vessels that   is called  arteries,  veins  and  capillaries.  That even helps your heart  heal  when  your  heart  isn’t  doing  so  well on it’s own….  for instance …. your heart has blockage the back  flow  of  blood reroutes  itself  to  form  NEW  arteries.

   The cardiovascular system works by pumping blood into the lungs      which causes  the  blood  to  become  oxygenated.   This oxygenated  rich blood  is  then  transported  throughout  the  body  through  a  network of arteries,  vessels or veins and capillaries. That branch out to the trillions    of  cells of  the body to give them access to nutrition and oxygen.

   Through cardiovascular exercise it can keep everything in working order. By keeping everything in working order….  it keeps your metabolism reving high… burning any excessive cholesterol ..that might be churning up inside   due  to  the  difference in the metabolism in people.  Always  remember  that depleted blood that cells feed upon to gain their oxygen and nutrients must return  to  the  heart  to  restart  the  process  all  over  again  (exercise and replenished nutrients help aide the process).

   Being that  the lymphatic system  which is important to a healthy immune system  doesn’t  work  off  your heart beat.  Rather  it  is  fully – functionally from every  breath  you  take  and  the  more  breaths  you  take…. the  more  fully – functional  the  lymphatic system interacts with circulatory system  (mainly through the removal of interstitial fluid and fatty acids).

   When nutrient-  and oxygen  -rich blood reaches the capillaries, they      leak interstitial fluid into the tissue to feed the cells.  Once these cells have gained what  they  need,  the  fluid  must  be  removed  from  the  cells  and  then placed back  into the circulatory system  to  be  reused…. the  lymph system draws the fluid  from the cells and deposits it back into the blood that’s in the veins.

    Another main – way  in  which  the  cardiovascular  and  lympathic system interacts is through the removal of fatty acids in the body. When you have a mixed up rate of bad and good fatty acid this procedure of removal becomes extremely critical. About as important as gaining omega -3  fatty acids from your diet through proper nutrition in the first place.

  Being that the lymphatic system works  in  unison  with the circulatory system.  Because the lungs  are  where your oxygen supply is picked up in  the blood and then transported around the body  where hemoglobins  are produced in the red blood cells,  It’s these hemoglobins in abundance that are delivered to respiring tissues  (muscles), musclar and nervous  system  interaction  is what controls your breathing rate.

   When the concentration of carbon dioxide increases the chemo – receptor (chemical sensitive)  cells in the wall  of  the  carotid artery  and  aorta  that sends impulses to the respiratory centre of the brain and tells your body to increase your breathing. It’s these same impulses that tells the diaphragm and intercostal muscles to contract while making the breathing rate more rapid.

    Most  of  the respiratory system is lined with mucous membrane which contain mucosal – associated lymphoid tissue. This tissue an essential part of  the  lymphatic  system  that  produces  immune  cells  (e.g. lymphocytes  which is a type of white blood cell that defends the body against infections and viruses).

     The benefits of exercise  is  that it helps  your body to control all the fore -mention functions of the body. Plus by doing so… it also controls the cortisol levels  that  helps to metabolize  fat  for  fuel.  Although this  intense  aerobic exercise causes  a  temporary  increase  in  cortisol…. regular  exercise  helps  control your cortisol levels  and  helps reduce the stress this hormone places on your body.

     Your  hypothalamus  plays  an  important role  in  cortisol production…. this gland responds to any preceived threat by signaling an alarm to the rest  of  the  body.  Which causes your adrenal glands to release a surge of  cortisol (the primary stress hormone).  Although physical  and  emotional stress can increase cortisol production through  sudden burst of energy by increasing   glucose into your blood stream.

    This  hormone  is  essential  for regulating  your  energy  levels,  and  also metabolizing  stored  fat  cells.  It  is  responsible  for  several  functions  in  the  body  including  blood  pressure  regulation, glucose   utilization and – any – and – all  inflammatory  properties.  While  excessive  cortisol  levels  can  and  will cause fatique  as  well  as  fat accumulation  in  the stomach region,  decrease bone formation, increase water retention and changes in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins while affecting the immune system.

  According to the Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practices. Studies  indicate  that  even  30 minute sessions  of  moderate  exercise  may help  in  reducing  these  harmful  cortisol  levels.  Whereas  the  Mayo Clinic  recommends  reducing  cortisol  stress  levels  by  getting  regular  exercise period.  Having it MADE means Managing Attitude Diet Exercise….

Complimentary Cancer Care

  When I dreamt and visualized the concept of this website about a year ago at this present time. While working on the concept since…. March of 2006,  often  I  felt  I   would never accomplish what is in this website facts on cancer.  So often derailed           of  my  hopes,  however,  never  losing  focus  nor  sight… where I wanted to take          this projects true destination.      http://www.facebook.com/Solitariusorg

    That being  a  centralized  hub  of  cancer research  that promotes the            information  that’s  on  the  internet.  As  more  and  more  of  the major medical  institutions  in  the  United States  head  into  the  direction  of    Integrative Medicine  to  fight the war on cancer.  It’s  quite  gratifying  thinking  back  about  the  time  I  jumped on the good ship when it all started to transition over in Cancer Medicine.

    In my blog post for August which I deem important… you will as the visitant find important website links  for  the  18  most common types of  cancer. There is much vital information in each blog, an occasionally in     the future…. I  will  add  more  content as I continually troll the internet searching for information that’s a new.

   So tell your friends  and  please keep coming back to read any and all important updates as I find the information for you.  Also  I’m  extremely openminded to the visitants suggestions and experiences so by all means  use the comment section at the end of each seperate blog. Be rest assured like so often in todays America….  what you have to say… won’t fall upon      deft ears… that’s my promise to the visitant.

    AS  the  visitant  enters  into  the  July  Blog  Post….  in Looking Back – Moving Forward. That blog details the exact highlighted blog post of the entire archives of Solitarius.org.  What this does as the visitant becomes more acclimated to the website…. is prevents the visitant from having to scroll and troll the entire website when you know what your aim is. Also   the  July blog post  are  much  like  4th of July…. a blast ….they  showcase  the HOT  16  Tips  for  preventing cancer through mainly nutrition.

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.

    Memorial Sloan – Kettering Cancer Center: provides patients with the        highest – quality diagnosis, treatment and supportive care….

    Testicular Cancer|MD Anderson: a team of experts target each patient    providing customized care to match your unique circumstances….

    Testicular Cancer Research Centerapproximately 8,250 men in the U.S.A.           are going to be diagnosed this year accounting for 1% of all cancer affecting men.

    Topic Overview|Testicular Cancer: happens when abnormal cells in the     testicles (testes) begin to grow abnormally in an uncontrolled manner….

   Body and Health.Canada.com: testicular cancer account for only 1% of cancer in men, however, is the most common found in men between ages 15 and 35 years old….

   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.

      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.

    What Dr. Roach than went on to say, “that getting regular exercise and eating plenty  of  fruit  and  vegetables,  while  also  limiting  your red meat  consumption in moderation can significantly reduce the risk of  aggressive prostate cancer.”  Also his booklet on prostate enlargement and cancer can be obtain  writing  Dr. Roach  at P.O. Box 536475,  Orlando Fla. 32853-6475 while including a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 Us/$6 Canadien.

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.

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.
