The number of cancer cases in United States is growing. That is why it is important to know how we can prevent this dreadful ailment. Did you know that even small changes in your everyday routine or lifestyle can alleviate the risk of getting this disease? Let me propose to you some tips on how you will be able to prevent getting cancer.

1. Avoid too much exposure from the sun. The most common type of cancer is the skin cancer. The most common cause of skin cancer is the sun so protect your self from too much sun exposure. The peak radiation hours are between 10 in the morning and 4 in the afternoon. So avoid being outside during these hours. Exposed parts of the body are the ears, hands and the face. Cover those areas because skin cancer usually occurs on those parts. Apply sunscreen to your skin and stay indoors for at least 20 minutes. Wear light colored clothes. Dark colors are more absorber of the heat. To cover your head and ears, wearing a hat is advisable.

2. Don't smoke. If you are a person who does not smoke, being a secondhand smoker is also bad for your health.

3. Exercise regularly. Being fat is not healthy. Get at least of 30 minute exercise at least 2 times a week.

4. Eat healthy food. Avoid drinking too much alcohol and having high-fat diet. Eat fruits and vegetables.

Many of the cancer patients these days are in need of help for their regular medications. There are nonprofit organizations that conduct seminars to educate people on how to prevent cancer. They also make research to study the possible cure for this disease. You too can help this cause by making a donation. One of the well known types of donation is the car donation. If you happen to have an old car, you can donate it to help charities that support this cause.

Let's get right to it. What is cancer? It is a blackness that spreads through your body and steals your life, your dreams, and your future. No need to be all technical about it because we all know what it does and we all know that it will kill you if not treated correctly. To be a little more specific, cancer happens when deformed cells divide and create other deformed cells where the DNA is altered and cancer is allowed to grow and spread to your organs. This is how it starts, but what are the symptoms to watch out for?

You can usually feel when something isn't quite right in your body, but sometimes those who are around you a lot can tell when your mood changes and you start to act strangely. It can be something that you may not even notice, so be sure to listen to those who see you from the outside. High fever, chills, strange pains in your body could all be signs of this dreaded disease. So, if you find your suffering from any of these types of symptoms, make sure to have yourself checked out thoroughly.

Cancer is caused by free radicals that are caused by something that a lot of people do not really pay attention too, and that is environmental pollution. This growing problem is creating a lot of problems in our bodies, namely imbalance in the natural workings of things. When imbalance happens, your body PH levels start to change from an alkaline state where your body is unable to become diseased to an acidic state where cancer and disease can take you hostage.

If you have been diagnosed with cancer there is a real easy solution to help you overcome this horrible disease and as crazy as this sounds, this tool we use is so easy that a very young child could do it. We have discussed what causes cancer, free radicals. We have talked about what causes free radicals, environmental pollution. What we need to discuss now is how do we fix the pollution problem inside our bodies? That question is easily answered. You must remove the pollution from inside your body, right down to the cells. You must restore balance where imbalance is happening. Removing the source of this imbalance can help you get right back on track with your life, future intact, dreams intact and most importantly your life completely intact.

What if I told you that your body was the cure? What if I also told you that if you supply your body with the right tools, it can overcome many different types of diseases, even cancer? Your body is an amazing creation. It was designed with many defense mechanisms, and unfortunately these mechanisms are being over ridden with the onslaught of environmental pollution. It is everywhere and in everything and is impossible to avoid. We must remove it if we are to help restore the balance in our bodies.

Balance is key and it is very possible and very attainable. First you must quit saying that this sounds too good to be true. It does sound that way, but I'm here to tell you that it isn't. It is out there waiting to be discovered by you. It has already been discovered by many who have restored balance to their bodies, are you next? There is a saying "don't knock it till you try it" so I am asking you to brush aside your skepticism and realize the future. That future is hope of a disease free future for those told they have a life threatening disease and have very few options.

I want to share an amazing option with you, and learning is only clicks away, don't wait, learn about this amazing new discovery that is changing lives every single day. Is your life in need of changing? Is someone you care about in need of a life changing discovery? I think you found it, or it found you, either way, here we are. Healing starts when you start to believe. Discover the truth about your body and what it can truly overcome with the right tools.

Lemongrass tea has a wide application in a variety of medical fields but its prospects as a potential partner in cancer treatment has increasingly captured the attention of observers. Lemongrass tea is an herbal tisane derived from the aromatic perennial herb native to southeast Asia. It is widely used as a decorative plant but is also utilized as a flavoring ingredient in many exotic cuisines.

While many people are not familiar with how lemongrass looks like, many are very familiar with how it tastes like. The herb has made itself popular to many Western palates through its central role in flavoring the Thai soup of tom yam gung. Indeed, its lemony, somewhat minty and tangy flavor has made it one of the most distinguishable components of many Thai and southeast Asian delicacies.

Recent studies on this cheerful-tasting herb have suggested that lemongrass may be something more than just an herb that injects a measure of culinary delight. Researchers in Israel discovered that a substance in lemongrass tea and essential oil called citral may trigger the death of cancer cells while at the same time cause no harm to healthy cells.

Cancer cells isolated in a Petri dish were found to have undergone apoptosis or programmed cell death when they came in contact with lemongrass. Scientists attempting to explain this phenomenon in layman's terms have said that the cancer cells were said to have "committed suicide" when they came in contact with the lemongrass and its critical constituent of citral. Interestingly and more remarkably, healthy cells likewise isolated in a Petri dish did not behave similarly when these were also exposed to the lemongrass. Instead, they remained healthy.

It should be noted that apoptosis is the natural programmed response by cells whenever they discover that their control system is not functioning properly, i.e. when flawed genetic material appears following normal cell division. Cancer cells, on the other hand, 'ignore' the rules of apoptosis as these divide continuously and uncontrollably.

The research seemingly found that this normal apoptosis process may have been reactivated in the cancer cells by the citral in the lemongrass. The amount of citral used in this research was equivalent to that found in a cup of lemongrass tea using 1 gram of the herb placed in hot water. As a result, the researchers have suggested that lemongrass tea and other herbs containing the substance citral may be used as a preventative against certain forms of cancer.

Meanwhile, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the United States has not given a reaction to these Israeli research findings and generally maintains its stance that only products that underwent their sanctioned tests and research are the approved methodologies for treating cancer. As such, the FDA generally stands by the conventional and generally-accepted protocols for the treatment of cancer.

For their part, the researchers concede that their results on lemongrass need to be explored further but are of the opinion that patients looking for all possible avenues to fight their cancer ought to utilize the possible beneficial properties of natural food products. But consultation with their respective physicians is very important so that treatments are coordinated to help ensure optimal effectiveness.

How Energetic Frequencies Within The Body Determine The State Of Our Health

The human body, when viewed from the quantum science perspective, is an extremely complex network made up of cells, organs & many smaller systems within. We are ultimately energy, each & every cell with it's own little 'system' & atom vibrating at a certain frequency, which in turn effects the next cell & the overall picture, being the health of our entire body. In actual fact Quantum Theory recognises the interconnectedness of everything in the entire Universe. Due to the vastness & complexity of this subject I will aim to keep this a much simplified explanation of how energetic frequencies may be manipulated in order to promote health & fight cancer.

An increasing number of scientists today are recognising the fact that disease is caused by some form of stress, some scientists believe that 95% of all disease is in fact stress related. Other enlightened individuals who are experienced in working with energy, as well as many practitioners in various alternative fields of medicine, state that all illness & disease is the direct result of underlying emotional issues or trauma which may have been experienced in childhood. In other words, what we are looking at is some form of negative emotion which has a recurring & spiralling effect within the body. One may easily dismiss this theory if they can not immediately recall any significant, traumatic event from their lifetime, yet the interesting thing here is that this memory may not be present in the conscious or even subconscious mind. Rather the focus here is on cellular memory & more specifically the destructive patterns which may be set into motion at cellular level as a result of some kind of traumatic or stressful experience.

Going back to the consideration that our entire form, as indeed all matter, is ultimately comprised of energy & that our every thought is in fact energy, it makes sense that when we experience such an intense force of negative energy, whether in the form of trauma, despair, or a prolonged period of intense stress, that this energy may resonate within the cells of our body for a long time following. Remember, every vibration, every thought has some kind of effect on the system as a whole & so people who do not carefully monitor the thoughts they have may be unknowingly crystallising negative vibratory patterns within the cells of their body in response to these thoughts & their repetitiveness, which can in itself cause enough harm for illness to take hold, on top of any possible trauma from earlier years this would be a likely example of how cancer may become present.

Now, if every cell in our body is affected in some way by our every thought then this makes it possible to influence our health in a positive way by breaking negative thought patterns & actually conditioning our mind into positive patterns of thinking. This process, although very achievable, takes much discipline & dedication & in the instance where someone has been recently diagnosed with cancer it is most likely to prove too challenging for them to even begin to think about. There is now, however, a range of products available, developed by a team of expert Quantum Physicists which are pre-programmed with the energetic, vibrational frequencies necessary for overcoming cancer by possibly the most effective method discovered to date.

How Frequency Enhanced Medicine Works To Fight Cancer

All bodily functioning is ultimately down to energetic frequencies which power all chemical sequences within the body. By programming the required frequencies into a medicine/ supplement which can be ingested, the body is 'told' what to do to beat cancer & automatically responds, just as it does to our thoughts etc. as mentioned above, yet the effects are fast & profound. We are basically manipulating the energetic frequencies in the body in order to promote health & healing, as well as cancer fighting capability at cellular level & beyond.

The products mentioned below contain vibrational frequencies stored within h20 molecules in water & are formulated by a process of cold quantum cavitation. Specific frequencies can actually be programmed in to the h20 molecules, instructing the cells of the body to act or behave in certain ways which will interfere with negative vibratory patterns present in times of ill health & promote healing & various methods to combating cancer cells effectively. Each product is unique in terms of the message it delivers to the body, however all have proven to significantly increase the chances we have of successfully eliminating cancer & seeing our health renewed.

Recommended Supplements For Healing Cancer

The numbers in brackets indicate how many bottles should equal one month's supply, depending on the stage of cancer being treated, in the following order: (early stage / advanced / very advanced)

B-BLA (2 / 3 / 4)

A brand new product providing an innovative, yet very effective method to tackling cancer cells which results in them dying a natural death. Cancer cells produce energy through fermentation which results in high levels of lactic acid being released into the body. The frequencies instilled in B-BLA instruct cells which are pumping out high levels of lactic acid to stop this process, meaning that the lactic acid is now contained within the cell which ultimately kills the cell off due to an overload of the lactic acid.

Custom Elixirs

For the absolute maximum effect you can use all the Custom Elixirs together; however this is not absolutely necessary. By taking Custom Elixir EE alongside Custom Elixir VPM the results of each are dramatically increased as they work synergistically together.

* Custom Elixir EE (6 / 8 / 10) - Delivers an energetic message to your brain instructing the mass production of endorphins, on a continuous basis. Endorphins are inextricably linked with the immune system & such an increase in their production greatly enhances the ability of the immune system to fight back against the cancer cells. It is highly recommended to take this product alongside Custom Elixir VPM, as when used together the effectiveness of each is drastically increased.
* Custom Elixir VPM (6 / 8 / 10) - Massively increases 'life force energy' within the body by carrying a vibrational frequency into the body which directs the speeding up of the vibrations of cellular energy to a far increased rate, which is needed to be able to improve health when a disease such as cancer is present. This product will result in cellular vibrations being almost 4 times what is needed for health, as this method will cause dramatic improvement in health over disease.
* Custom Elixir GL (4 / 6 / 8) - Carries an energetic frequency which tells the body to increase cellular glutathione levels. Glutathione is the master antioxidant & is the body's primary nutrient used in neutralising toxins. Custom Elixir GL actually directs the body to significantly increase cellular glutathione levels, a major breakthrough as getting glutathione into cells is almost impossible by any other method. Take along side Custom Elixir EE & Custom Elixir VPM for fastest results & all round effectiveness against cancer.

Surozyme/ Surozyme Version 2 (2 / 3 / 4)

The focus of Surozyme is on the workings of enzyme systems within the body. Enzymes are present in every cell & there are thousands of different types. They string together amino acids to form a specific chain, which then brings about the ability of the enzyme to perform a chemical reaction. These reactions are going on all the time in our body & are part of the cell's continual processes which allow it to survive, repair itself & perform an array of necessary functions in the form of chemical reactions. The enzyme is like catalyst for these reactions, speeding them up & ensuring they are carried out properly.

The energetic frequencies in Surozyme are based on sound & light vibrational input to water. They activate & enhance the workings of enzymes within the body, improving their overall performance in repairing cells & keeping them healthy. Cells which have turned cancerous are encouraged, through the chemical reactions initiated by enzymes, to begin functioning in a healthy manner once again. Cancer cells, put very basically, are healthy cells which have turned anaerobic & Surozyme works to reverse this process turning them back into healthy cells functioning through aerobic respiration.

Due to the fact that Surozyme, rather than killing cancer cells, actually reverts them back into healthy modes of functioning there is no swelling or inflammation caused by using this product & it is therefore safe to use in treating brain, bone & spinal cancers, or any other case where any amount of swelling must be avoided.

Surozyme Version 2 has the addition of pine, tea tree and thyme essential oils which are, when extracted correctly, very potent cancer killers. This product has all the advantages above, yet with that extra kick which will see the death of many cancer cells also. This product causes some swelling, as all direct cancer killing products do & is therefore not safe to use against brain, bone & spinal cancer.

It is often said that what we eat is what we are. Does this mean that an unhealthy diet can lead to cancer? Is it also true that a cancer prevention diet can lower your risks of getting the disease? These are important questions to ask since research shows that there might be a direct link between the consumption of certain foods and disease.

It is worth looking at how harmful an unhealthy diet can be and what cancer risk it poses. Researchers have found that the diet rich in animal fats increases the chance of prostate cancer in men significantly. Similarly, above normal weight and obesity put women at higher risk of endometrial (uterus) cancer during menopause. There is strong evidence to suggest that an unhealthy diet full of fats and lower in fiber can increase the risk of colorectal cancer and other types of gastrointestinal cancer.

Given all this, it can be safely said that an unhealthy diet may increase your risk of getting cancer. The main question is whether the opposite is true. Can a healthy diet aid prevention? The truth is that there is no direct link found between food and cancer. This means that there are no known foods or food substances that can cause the development of a malignant tumor. Given the example above, not all men having a diet rich in animal fat will develop prostate cancer.

All this comes to show that even if you avoid the unhealthy foods, such as red meat and butter, this will not guarantee that you will not get cancer. This may reduce your chances of getting the condition to an extent. Similarly, some foods and some of the chemical compounds they contain, in particular, are claimed to prevent cancer.

However, there is usually no full proof evidence that this is possible. For instance, there is no evidence that resveratrol, contained in grapes, can slow the tumor growth in humans like it slows the tumor growth in mice. In addition, the consumption of some fiber-rich foods, for instance, does not guarantee that you will never get cancer.

Another interesting thing to note is that some foods are considered anti-cancer because their consumption has had a positive effect in studies, but they do not know what causes this positive effect. This is the case with tomatoes, for instance. Their consumption may lower your risk of getting cancer, but it is not clear which of their ingredients work and how.

After all the arguments are presented, it is now time to ask - what is the verdict? The best answer here is that healthy diet can help reduce the cancer risk to an extent. It should be used for prevention. However, it is not a foolproof method for cancer prevention. Even if you adopt a healthy diet, this does not mean that you reduce your cancer risk to zero. For this reason, other adequate measures for prevention, such as regular screening tests, should be taken as well.

In general, a healthy diet may reduce your risk of cancer significantly or very little. The important thing to keep in mind is that healthy nutrition can bring you a lot of other health benefits. These include general health and heart and gastrointestinal health, in particular. It is worth asking what kind of diet can help in the prevention of cancer to an extent.

The foods that may increase your risk are red meats and sugar. The fat-rich dairy products are also not particularly healthy. Hence, it is worth reducing their consumption. Additionally, it should be pointed out that the way you cook the meat can also reduce the risk of cancer. When you fry, grill or broil meat, some chemical compounds in it are transformed and can become dangerous. For this reason, stewing and steaming are recommended.

The beneficial foods to include in your diet are vegetables and fruits. The green leafy vegetables, the ones from the cabbage family, such as cauliflower, tomatoes and asparagus are beneficial and may help prevent cancer. The consumption of beans is highly recommended as well. Strawberries, raspberries and blueberries may also reduce your cancer risk significantly and improve your general health. This is applicable to the fiber-rich fruits, such as apples and cherries.

Overall, the healthy diet can only bring you benefits and may help prevent cancer to a great extent.

Mutu (not real name,H520) is a 48-year-old male. In November 2010 he had coughs with some phlegm. In late December 2010 he was admitted into a private hospital with complaints of right hypochondrial pain (i.e., pain under the rib-cage margin). He was nauseated but no vomiting. He also had post prandial dyspepsia (i.e., a medical term meaning feeling of unusual fullness, nausea, loss of appetite or belching following a meal).

CT scan of the abdomen showed multiple masses measuring 7.3 x 5.1 cm, 6.3 x 6.1 cm and 7.3 x 4.5 cm, in the right lobe of his liver, suggestive of diffuse hepatocellular carcinoma or liver metastases. A biopsy was performed on 23 December 2010 and confirmed moderately differentiated infiltrating liver cancer. A blood test results, done on 19 January 2011, showed elevated liver function values. His alpha-fetoprotein (liver cancer marker) stood at 1,024,332.0.

Mutu was prescribed Nexavar - an oral chemo-drug that cost about RM20,000 per month. He was told that Nexavar would not cure his cancer. It would only control it (whatever that means, see discussion later).

After taking Nexavar for a week, he suffered the following side effects:

1. Bloatedness
2. Shoulder muscle pain
3. Sleeping difficulty
4. Nausea and sometimes vomiting
5. Dizzy when walking
6. Loss of appetite due to bloatedness
7. Cramps of fingers and toes
8. Constipation

Comments

Let me highlight some of the important points of this case in a question-and-answer format.

1. Assuming for a moment that you are a medical expert. I believe you have seen hundreds or thousands of CT scans and blood test results. From your experience, what can you make out of this case by just looking at the scans and blood test results? The images are bad and the AFP (alpha-fetoprotein) exceeded a million points. Honestly, is a biopsy really necessary? So, after a biopsy, what can you offer to "cure" the patient?

2. It appears that all that modern medicine can offer is Nexavar. Would you as an expert offer this drug to the patient knowing that it cost about RM 20,000 per month and it does not cure? I guess you would if the patient is rich enough to pay for it or if his insurance covers the cost. This is a win-win situation you may say. After all this is what buying a health insurance is for! But hang on. In this case what if Mutu's total medical cover is limited, assuming it is RM 100,000? That means the insurance pays for only five months' supply of Nexavar. What happens after that? And within 8 to 11 months patients just die anyway(see point 4 below)?

3. As an expert, would you admit to your patient that Nexavar cannot cure his cancer? Yes, you did in this case. That is honorable of you. Obviously not many patients are going to pay that kind of money if there is no cure. You justified by saying that Nexavar can control it. That sounds good, convincing and heroic isn't it? Especially if the patient is desperate and helpless. Such patients need that "last straw". But what do you really mean by control?

4. Have you gone into the website of the drug company that sells Nexavar? If you do, you may find this very impressive table with equally impressive so-called "scientific" data.

- In a study of 602 people... Nexavar helped slow cancer growth and helped extend the lives of patients compared with patients who did not receive Nexavar.
- Nexavar extended overall survival by 44%.

For the benefit of those who are not used to reading and interpreting research data, let me explain a bit more. From the research data, we know that there were 299 patients taking Nexavar (n= 299) and the median overall survival is 10.7 months. Compare this to 303 patients who did not take Nexavar (group called Placebo, n = 303) which had a median overall survival of 7.9 months.

The glaring facts of this study showed that:

- By taking Nexavar patients lived longer by 2.8 months. Take note that they were not cured at all. Eventually patients died. The median survival ranged from about 8 to 11 months, irrespective of whether they take Nexavar or not.

So based on the above experimental data, ask this question. Would you spend RM 20,000 per month and for every month, to live 3 months longer? Again, take note that the price of Nexavar varies - depending on where you buy it and whether you pay cash or pay through insurance claim. Obviously the price is higher when your insurance pays for it.

Of course, if this point is crudely presented like I did above, extending life by 2.8 months is not impressive at all! The educated people devised a better way of saying things in a nicer, attractive but deceptive way. Another way of saying is: Nexavar extended overall survival by 44%. Increasing survival by 44% is very impressive indeed.

Mark Twain (of the USA) made famous this phrase: "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics." This phrase is now used to describe " the use of statistics to bolster weak arguments, and the tendency of people to disparage statistics that do not support their positions". In simple language, the statisticians (the experts of numbers) "massage" the data to make what seems ugly to look pretty. Take note also this "manipulation or massage" of data is not wrong - it is academically legitimate!

So take it from me that "Extending life by 2.8 months" or "Extending overall survival by 44%" are both right and academically acceptable. Unfortunately I still cannot figure out how they come up with the 44 percentage figure. I need a bit more time to learn this "art of stretching the truth with numbers."

With a simple mind like common folks, I would have just do this: I would take 10.7 minus 7.9 = 2.8. Then I would divide 2.8 by 7.9 and multiple by 100 to convert it into a percentage. If I did this, I ended up with only 35%. To avoid having to explain "the confusing concept of statistics" let us give the benefit of the doubt to the experts and the drug manufacturer and accept what they say: Nexavar extended overall survival by 44%.

But folks let's concentrate on what matters most. You can choose between these two "options" below. But know that both mean the same thing!

- As a patient if you are told that Nexavar can extend survival by 44%, what would be your reaction?
- On the other hand, if you are told that Nexavar can extend your life by only 2.8 months, what would be your reaction?

Having got over this, what if you are clearly told that the extension of survival by 2.8 months is no free lunch. Apart from having to pay RM 20,000 per month, there are a variety of side effects you may have to endure. In this case, Mutu suffered eight side effects after consuming Nexavar for a week.

But don't fault the drug company. You have been forewarned. Patients taking Nexavar may suffer the following side effects (according to the company's website):

1. Decreased blood flow to the heart and heart attack.
2. Bleeding problems. Nexavar may increase your chance of bleeding.
3. High blood pressure.
4. A skin problem called hand-foot skin reaction. This causes redness, pain, swelling, or blisters on the palms of your hands or soles of your feet.
5. Perforation of the bowel.
6. Possible wound healing problems. You may need to have a surgical or dental procedure.
7. Birth defects or death of an unborn baby.
8. Rash, redness, itching, or peeling of your skin
9. Hair thinning or patchy hair loss
10. Diarrhea
11. Nausea or vomiting
12. Mouth sores
13. Weakness
14. Loss of appetite
15. Numbness, tingling, or pain in your hands and feet
16. Abdominal pain
17. Fatigue
18. Weight loss

5. Solutions?

The lady was indeed sharp. She asked me: "Then, that are the solutions?" I must admit I cannot guarantee any cure. We know that in cancer there is no such thing as a cure (meaning, real cure, not just surviving 5 years). In the case of advanced liver cancer, we all know that survival is only in terms of months. So, we are faced with a difficult case. This is the first time that a patient came in with his alpha-fetoprotein reading well over a million. The highest we have ever seen in 14 years is about half that value.

We have two suggestions for Mutu.

a) Take care of your diet. He was given a list of food that he can and cannot eat. Unfortunately this list is way off the mark compared to our recommendation.

b) Take herbs and hope for the best. If a patient has no pain, can eat and sleep - these are about all we can hope for. How long to live is not ours to decide.

It is up to Mutu to decide if he wants to continue taking the Nexavar and reap whatever benefits (and also side effects) that are associated with it. But ask this: Is it worth it?

Some of you may say: Aah, you snake oil peddler - you and your herbs and dietary fad - these are just quackery. They are not proven and not scientific. Hang on, before you cast the first stone, take time to read some of our success stories. Tell us where we go wrong if you think that we are wrong!

It is a great mistake of modern life to wait for pharmaceutical companies to find and patent a cure for cancer. We already have available to us, if we seek it out, the knowledge of how to live in a way that will prevent the disease. Isn't that preferable?

Dr. Otto Warburg explained the basic biological process by which we "get" cancer in 1931, for which he received a Nobel Prize. It is a shame that -- for a variety of reasons -- his insights have not been translated to the general public so we might protect ourselves by correcting our diet and lifestyle, rather than waiting for some pharmaceutical giant to find a way to make huge profits by patenting a drug or therapy that "cures" cancer.

Boiled frogs come into the picture as the perfect analogy of how we humans get so involved and distracted by our jobs and the petty pleasures we are permitted that we forget the true purpose of life -- learning how to successfully live it.

Instead, we let the experts do our thinking for us, while we go about the chores of living in such a way that now, slightly more than half of our deaths in the USA are caused by cancer.

Obviously, We Are Doing Something Wrong

You see, the so-called experts are more concerned with finding and patenting a cure for cancer (which would be immensely profitable!) than they are at educating us on how, by changing our diet and lifestyle, we can generally avoid ever having the disease!

We have donated billions of dollars over the decades since the "War On Cancer" was declared, but the average person, like the proverbial frog in a pot of simmering water, has not heard the recipe for cancer prevention.

He is too busy watching the Super Bowl with friends and eating foods that couldn't be better for causing cancer. The only exercise many of the most likely cancer victims get will be jumping up and down cheering on their team from the couch.

While most Americans ignore the cautiously worded warnings to eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes, our withered willpower is busily being subverted by advertising. Eating healthy foods -- "rabbit food" -- is no fun, we are told by innuendo at every commercial break.

This is the Boiled Frog Conspiracy. We have paid billions for scientists to find us the answer why we get cancer, but the secret is drowned out in commercial messages that urge us to keep doing the things that are causing the disease. Meanwhile, our health watchdog agencies like the USDA and FDA are too busy protecting the profits of the cancer drug cartel and the food industry to tell us the simple truth of how to prevent the disease.

Is It a Conspiracy? You Decide!

Face it, fellow frogs, there is too much money being made by feeding us a diet that favors the growth of cancer -- while collecting money to fund research for the cure -- to ever be told that the way to prevent cancer has already been found.

Stomach cancer symptoms like many other types of internal cancers, are at the onset difficult to detect and diagnose as they tend to mirror other health issues and be misdiagnosed by the patient.

The most frequent stomach cancer symptoms include feeling bloated or overly full after eating even a small meal. This can be misunderstood as a stomach flu or bug. Mild to severe heartburn can be misdiagnosed as indigestion or GERD (Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disorder). In advanced stages stomach cancer symptoms can present as severe nausea, crippling stomach and abdominal pain. The patient may even experience excessive flatulence,

Given the location of the stomach, cancer in this area tends to be very aggressive and spreads quickly and easily through the major organs. Patients experiencing symptoms also manifest issues with eating and begin to lose weight quickly and become dehydrated as the consumption of food or fluids through the digestive tract becomes highly painful, and the patient begins to refuse to eat or drink as a result. The presence of the lymph nodes in the abdominal cavity make stomach cancer symptoms likely to spread to other major organs and become systemic instead of localized, and enter the blood stream leading to patient mortality.

The acidic nature of the stomach lends itself to the spread and development of cancer as digestive acids have the ability to cause precancerous cells to mutate at a rapid rate, causing the cancer to spread. Metastasis is almost impossible to prevent once the cancer cells have spread outside the stomach and since complete removal of the stomach is not possible (as removal of other cancerous areas have the highest recovery rates when surgically removed) stomach cancer has one of the highest fatality rates among all the cancers.

In advanced stages of this cancer 95% of diagnoses are for the condition of "adenocarcinomas" which are cancerous lesions and tumors present on the inside of the stomach lining and in the glandular tissues of the stomach. This condition eventually evolves to a lining of the stomach and hardening which prevents the flexibility required for the stomach to properly digest food inside the peritoneum which is the cavity of the stomach.

One of the invisible symptoms is internal bleeding which due to the digestive process, cannot be consistently detected visually in the stool. If stomach cancer symptoms are present a FOT (Fecal Occult Test) will be conducted to determine not just the presence of blood in the feces but also the quantity of blood which will assist in determining the severity and progression of the stomach cancer.

With all the health education available about stomach cancer symptoms and the importance of early detection and treatment to the survivorship rate of diagnosed populations it remains confusing as to why individuals continue to allow cancer to progress to stage two or later before prompting investigations. Is it fear? Are we simply just more willing to consider it a stomach pain than the possibility of it being something far more life threatening? And if so perhaps the educational efforts should be geared toward patient self-management where any change in normal functioning is addressed and investigated immediately. If only the cost and availability of health care allowed for that.

Oral cancer is defined along with other head and neck cancers due to the proximity and ease with which the cancer can be spread in the neck and throat region. Mouth cancer symptoms however can be more easily detected than other types of cancers.

Mouth cancer symptoms can present as a number of unique symptoms including an open sore on the inside of the mouth or numbness in a specific area of the mouth (generally where a tumor is developing). There may or may not be an abnormal lump on the inside of the mouth and some discomfort or swelling of the jaw.

In advanced stages mouth cancer symptoms can included a change in the tone of voice (if the cancer has progressed to the larynx area or "voice box" in the throat or even an entire loss of voice. Difficulty chewing and swallowing may be noted as well as bleeding in the mouth or throat. These symptoms may not prompt action from the patient as they may be misconstrued as other symptoms such as tonsillitis, infected adenoids or even a cold or flu symptom, as they may accompany inner ear pain and be misdiagnosed as an infection. However when the mouth cancer symptoms fail to respond to antibiotic treatment it is a clear indicant of a more serious medical condition. Antibiotics have no impact on inflammation or bleeding caused by oral cancer.

Bleeding may be the first of the mouth cancer symptoms to clearly present for the patient however unfortunately this symptom can be misunderstood or misdiagnosed as gingivitis or gum disease. Often the patient will allow the bleeding to persist and focus on oral healthcare such as more strenuous brushing and flossing in the hopes of addressing gum disease through topical treatment. However when the bleeding in the mouth does not originate from the gums or when the bleeding fails to resolve itself in a reasonable time period, most patients refer to a Dentist for consultation. It is the Dentist who through radiological x-ray examinations determines the presence of a tumor and refers the patient on to a specialist or oncologist.

The only conclusive cause of mouth cancer symptoms is cigarette smoking and working or living in environments with second hand smoke. It has been clinically proven that the inhalation of carcinogens found in cigarette smoke mutate the pre-cancerous cells in the mouth and throat causing oral cancer. With all cancers there is a certain degree of heredity involved where specific genetic patterns indicate a predisposition for the cancer to become "triggered" into mutation. However it is not understood if mouth cancer symptoms when detected can be attributed to other environmental issues such as pollution.

Given the location of mouth cancer symptoms to the lymph nodes in the neck and breasts the rapid spread of oral cancer is well known. Tumors can develop quickly requiring removal and leading to physical disfigurement of the face, jaw and neck. As with all cancers the best case scenario is early detection and prompt treatment.

Cancers of the reproductive organs in men and women have the lowest early detection rates of most cancers. While testicular cancer symptoms present themselves in very obvious ways there is a certain gender centric difficulty in reporting symptoms and confirming diagnosis, particularly given the emotionally and psychosexual sensitivity of the region. Men simply do not want to acknowledge issues of health concern and it is a gender specific quality that has mortality rates climbing in certain types of cancers where early detection is critical. Being bashful to acknowledge a problem or health concern in the genital region can be fatal.

Testicular cancer symptoms appear on the onset as some significant abnormalities that should be easy to detect if the patient is forthcoming and observant to their own body and overall health. Testicular cancer symptoms can begin as tenderness or acute soreness in the lower back, unusual pain or swelling in the testicles or the presence of abnormally inflamed or discolored areas of skin, or growths around the area. The experience of sexual discomfort during erections, painful bleeding during urination and even the detection of blood in the ejaculate are all hallmark signs of testicular cancer symptoms.

While the same symptoms can be present in a case of prostate cancer as well, testicular cancer symptoms can only be confirmed by examination by a physician and testing. If a lump is found in the testicles a needle biopsy may be acquired to test the tissue of the tumor to detect if it is benign. CT scans and ultrasounds are also part of the identification of abnormal tumors or growths.

Attitudes toward male sexuality and healthcare are starting to change but a good degree of historical influence prohibits men behaviorally from seeking out medical advice at the early detection states of testicular cancer symptoms. Whether a matter of embarrassment or a personal issue with vulnerability the predisposition for men to delay in seeking treatment creates an environment where the risk of cancer metastasizing increases needlessly.

The treatments which commence after the confirmation of testicular cancer symptoms are typically non-invasive and may involve chemotherapy and radiological treatment in a topical area. In more severe cases a radical inguinal orchiectomy or surgical removal of the testes is required to prevent the spread of cancer into the nearby abdominal lymph nodes. In all cancer treatments prevention of the spread of cancer through the body is key to patient recovery, and preventing the spread into the lymphatic system is critical. As such radiological therapies may also be targeted at the abdominal region to prohibit the growth of cancer in the abdominal cavity and surround vital organs.

Much sociological work needs to be done to encourage men to part with the traditions of "suffering in silence" and take a more practice role in managing their healthcare by being aware of symptoms and also by being willing to proceed with investigations to determine diagnoses at the early stages. In this way testicular cancer symptoms will cease to develop into life threatening situations with high patient morbidity rates.
