Lung cancer treatment: herbal medicine be able to treat lung cancer? Author: koay lye chin

Herbal supplements like Pleurisy root and Cordyceps has been proved that help to release toxin with organic and building healthy lung tissue. In the past few years, some scientist discovered that herbal is very supportive effects that can reduce various symptoms in different disease especially remedies to lung cell. Off course, lung cancer patient are advisable to consult their doctor, mostly, sale specialist unable to give you a current and appropriate promising herbal supplement. Same time you are advisable to look for online related information in order to avoid prescribes strong herbal remedies and mixed up medication.

In year 2003, RMIT head of Chinese Medicine, Professor Charlie release a report. He had successful conduct lung cancer treatment with Chinese herbal medicine alone and survived a patient with 8 year and report good health. This patient had smoke more than 20 years, she was treated with 9 Chinese medicinal herbs that has been reported anti cancer

Lung cancer often cause by smoking. However, most people find it hard to quit. Generally, smokers know that smoking will damage their lung cell and respiratory system sooner or later. Scientist found out that peptic ulcers happening in male is about 41% and female about 33% cause by smoking. In year 2005, School of Nursing, University of Manchester conducted a paper study lung cancer patient who under herbal lung cancertreatment is about 48% this research was conducted in 8 Europe countries and collected by questionnaire.

Undeniable, some Europe scientist has doubted the Chinese herbal playing a role in lung cancer treatment, but recently there has been positive response from them. Experiences conducted by them show that Chinese herbal medicine be able anti cancer especially lung cancer treatment, enhancing the immune system, inhibitor lung cell spread and improve quality of life. As well, Chinese herbal medicine like American ginseng improve cancer patient vital and lessen fatigue. American Ginseng contain adaptogens that substance be able reduce and defend bodys stress, as we know cancer patient often facing high stress environmental especially treatment.

Herbal medicine is playing very important role in lung cancer field today, more and more scientist from west and east are starting recognized the role. Herbal medicine comes from Chinese and other like India is believed that is able to anti cancer, strength immune system, relieve the pain and improve quality of life. The most important thing is fewer side effects to human body.

Mesothelioma Prognosis – Why Do Some Patients Survive Longer? Author: Bello kamorudeen

There have been some few patients who have survived far beyond the usual one year prognosis for most mesothelioma victims and a handful that have even been cured, with no trace of the aggressive cancer several years after treatment (though recurrence is always possible).

Many medical experts are baffled by this observation and for most of the time they are yet to find a real scientific basis to explain why some mesothelioma patients survive and others do not.

There seems to be one common factor amongst those that have survived the disease for longer times – the immune system. Studies of those who have either survived or been cured of the disease reveal that most of these patients participated in some sort of therapy that enhanced their immune system. Some treatments included clinical trials in immunology while others involved alternative therapies dealing with the immune system.

A number of mesothelioma survivors have posted their stories on the Internet and have spoken to patients and their families with the hope of providing a brighter outlook for their future. These same survivors have also presented their cases to doctors and researchers. The most outspoken of these individuals is Paul Kraus, an Australian mesothelioma survivor. Kraus was diagnosed with abdominal/ peritoneal mesothelioma in 1997, a form of the disease that is tougher to treat than the more common pleural mesothelioma. Kraus worked in a factory 35 years earlier where he was exposed him to blue (crocidolite) asbestos.

Upon his diagnosis, Kraus changed his diet (he’s now a vegetarian), added many vitamins and supplements to his daily routine, began “juicing,” and tried a treatment known as ozone therapy. Kraus explains, “They took blood out of a vein, used an ozone machine to add ozone (a molecule composed of three oxygen atoms) to the blood and reintroduced it into my body through a drip. The rationale for that was that cancer does not like an oxygenated environment.” The research in putting the protocol together took a lot of time, but in the long-run, Kraus believes the combination of all these treatments stabilized his mesothelioma. Today, tests show he still has the disease and his body is a bit weaker than it was, but he has no pain and his doctors tell him he has many more years to live. Kraus stresses the fact that he is not the only mesothelioma survivor.

He has cited the case of a man diagnosed 14 years ago at age 58 (no name given) who had a chest wall resection after diagnosis and has had no symptoms or recurrence since. His doctors believe there was “moderate host inflammatory response” and that spontaneous regression may be an immune-mediated phenomenon” – in other words, his immune system played a role in his survival.

Another survivor, Rhio O’Connor – who recently published a book about his fight with mesothelioma – has lived with the disease for seven years. He opted against the conventional methods of treatment like surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Instead, with the help of several medical physicians, he developed a regimen that included 100 supplements per day, changed his diet drastically, and now practices what he calls “mind-body medicine” (such as non-stress techniques like meditation). In his book, he recommends a variety of alternatives to traditional medicines and treatments.

All mesothelioma patients should be encouraged to participate in clinical trials especially those that are trying out new methods of boosting the immune system.

Prostate Cancer Author: Howie Dunstan

The 2 major treatment alternatives for men with prostate problems, radiation and surgery, are tried-and-true, having proved their effectiveness over the years in thousands of patients. Radical prostate removal surgery in particular, notwithstanding possible extreme side effects such as impotency, has saved numerous lives.

However a newer surgical process is making some progress into the cancer scene. It is only recommended when the prostate cancer is still completely restricted to the prostate gland, and has not been in use long enough to reliably judge its longterm treatment effectiveness. In this piece we’ll examine the process of cryosurgery and its implications.
First, a few months before the treatment, hormone treatment is employed to bring a halt to androgen ( male hormonal ) activity. This shrinks the prostate gland together with the cancer, making it rather more likely that the cryosurgery will reliably freeze all of the prostate tissue. After hormonal treatment, a picture is needed of the prostate gland.

To try this, an ultrasound probe is inserted into the rectum. Ultrasound gives a picture of internal soft tissues, being most well-known for its use in pregnant ladies to see the unborn fetus. The doctor will be able to see exactly where the prostate is located and how large it is, and can begin the surgery.

This is comprised of the insertion of terribly thin, long needles thru the perineum ( the area between the testicles and anus ) and into the gland. Then, cold nitrogen is pumped thru the needles, freezing the prostate tissue and effectively murdering the prostate and carcinogenic cells. This is what can cause some of the worse side effects.

The complete procedure only lasts one or two hours, and the patient usually goes home in a day or two.

Fox Chase new finding: Erlotinib and Cetuximab in Treating Lung Cancer Patients Author: koay lye chin

Chase Cancer researchers reported at the annual meeting of the international association for the study of lung cancer treatment, recently discovered breaking news. Non small cell lung cancer patients who have progressed on a cetuximab-containing regimen may respond to erlotinib (Tarceva).

Erlotinib (Tarceva) and cetuximab (Erbitux) playing role as stop the growth of tumor cells by block some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. As both inhibit the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) as well. According to the scientists, once a patient progresses on one EGFR inhibitor they will not respond to another EGFR inhibitor

“Just because a patient received and progressed on one EGFR inhibitor doesn’t necessarily mean they will not derive clinical benefit from another one,” says Hossein Borghaei, D.O., medical oncologist at Fox Chase. “And for patients who don’t have a lot of treatment options, we think this is a good thing. It gives them one more drug to try when their disease is progressing.”

Scientist found out that patients whose disease is no longer treated effectively by cetuximab can respond to erlotinib. Borghaei and his team conducted a research the treatment and get the outcome for the choose group of patients who had participated in a Fox Chase clinical trial that tested a mixed medicine of cetuximab, carboplatin and paclitax, 53 patients who had participated and 15 patients who received erlotinib, and 3 patients remain receive on erlotinib. Those 12 patients who are no receive on erlotinib the median duration of erlotinib therapy was 63 days, with a range from 36 to 222 days. The three patients remaining on therapy have been on the drug for 41, 238, and 459 days. The median progression-free survival time on erlotinib was 2.5 months for all 15 patients.

According Borghaei, the data come from a subset analysis and it just a hypothesis.

According to Frank C. Victor those receiving cetuximab, 14 out of 17 patients were noted to have a pustular erythematous, papular, follicular ,and eruption in which no cysts were seen. The most common areas of involvement were in a seborrheic distribution on the face (eg, forehead, nose, nasolabial folds, cheeks, chin, and perioral area).

Based on the author. Erlotinib is approved for used treat with non small lung cancer and cetuximab has been as a drug in sequence. The tumor characteristics that predict clinical benefit from erlotinib after progression on a cetuximab-containing regimen is yet to be elucidated. Dr Borghaei, he would like to conduct a research in future studies.

Sunscreen Is A Really Hot Topic and Rightly So Author: Sandie Hardman

As we destroy our natural ozone we will need to be more aware of how the sun affects our skin and health. There has been great concern by day care centers, schools and others groups who are responsible for child safety. They have been the thrust of the need to use sunscreen in an effort to protect the children and avoid law suits. Even to the point that they have told parents in no uncertain terms that they would be looked upon as irresponsible parents if they do not apply and supply sunscreen for their child each and every day.

I agree, but only in principle. I am not pointing a finger at the day care providers for they can only work within the regulations and the parents wishes. My daughter and I have had many children in our daycare and after school programs that we encouraged to apply sunscreen (often using the daycares sunscreen) so that we were compliant and didnt have sunburned children. The problem is that although you must protect the child from getting sun burned, the means for accomplishing that can be as harmful as the suns rays. Dare I say most sunscreens contain toxic chemicals? It would be a shock if you thought you are doing the right thing for everyone involved and then found out years later you had not been properly informed and found the toxins where effecting peoples health. You may be wondering how your good intentions could have gone so wrong. How was this was allowed to happen?

The Environmental Working Groups Executive Director, Richard Wiles, issued the following statement:
FDAs been dragging its feet on sunscreen safety standards for more than 30 years. Meanwhile, most Americans are not adequately protected: A recent EWG study found that 85% of sunscreens we tested do not offer enough protection from UV rays, are made with potentially harmful ingredients, or have not been tested for safety. We applaud Sen. Dodd, but Congress shouldnt have to force FDA to do its job.

Who knew?
Several natural skin care companies knew, Environmental Working Group knew, and even the companies that put the toxins in their sunscreen knew. Its hard not to trust Huggies or LOreal just a little when they say you are safe and protected. Who doesnt want to hear that? Marketing corporation with large budgets are not given lie detector tests when they create ads and labels. Corporate America is not covering your back.

How do I know that these companies have some understanding of the toxic side effects of their products? Because they are now modifying their formulas in an effort to secure their hold on market shares. They will modify the sunscreen just enough so they can put natural or new improved on the labels in the hope that you will continue to use the brands you have trusted for years. But awareness is rising and we just wont buy the products that are not safe with blind confidence like we did in the past. Your dollars do talk and our power lies in the fact that we can decide who to support.

I want to support the companies that have gone the extra mile to give us products that were good for us from the beginning. Companies that produce a superior sunscreen without waiting for law suits or consumer pressure to take chemicals out of the products. They knew that additives were not benefiting our health. Statistics state that 3 of 5 brand-name sunscreens either dont protect skin from sun damage or contain hazardous chemicals or both.

The Environmental Working Group (EWG) are constantly testing and lobbying for accountability in product creation. They have a great website that shows all sunscreen products tested (1,625 of them) and you can find out how your sunscreen scores. Many products I thought were safe are shown to be harmful. The one that really surprised me with a bad score was baby sunscreen called Huggies Little Swimmers. Get informed and take charge of your purchasing power while improving your health at the same time.

I will give a vote of support and confidence to people with awareness and ability to create beneficial products for me and the environment. The time to act is now and we are primed to redirect our attention toward our health and that of the planet. Organic products are a future we can all live with.

Real Prostate Formula Author: Howie Dunstan

The prostate gland is an exocrine organ of the male reproductive system–the corresponding organ for females being the Skene’s gland. The prostate gland’s first function involves the storage and secretion of seminal fluid. The organ likewise plays a supportive role in urination.

For the prostate gland to function properly, the male hormones androgen and testosterone need to be secreted to sustain its growth and development. Find below a top level view of prostatitis, BPH and prostate cancer ; the mainstream treatments for asserted conditions and the matching herbal cure that may be administered as alternative cure.

Prostatitis refers to the redness of the prostate gland while benign prostatic hyperplasia ( BPH ) relates to the abnormal enlargement of the prostate gland, leading also to defective urination.

Antibiotics are sometimes prescribed for acute prostatitis, which is triggered by bacterial infections. On the other hand, physico-therapies are administered as treatment for other types of prostatitis. An alternative cure to an inflammed prostate gland is Pilobium Parviflorum ( commonly called the Willow Herb ). The herb specifically conveys antibacterial and anti inflammatory properties that help fight the root of prostate infection while easing the related indications of discomfort and discomforts during pissing.

In the case of BPH aggressive procedures will need to be performed while in severe cases of BPH, surgery could be the only solution to deal with the condition. Likewise, the trans-acids occurring in its extracts help inhibit the hormones that stimulate the etiology of BPH. Overall, the herbal cure is regarded as an efficient tonic for the male reproductive system. prostate cancer is one of the leading reason for death in older men. The extracts of Hypoxis Rooperi ( often referred to as African Potato ) are composed of sterols and sterolins that have been scientifically confirmed to treat the equivalent cancers of the disease. The herb is a typically immunological system stimulant that could be administered for any other sort of disorder. Likewise, the herbal remedy exudes antioxidant properties that promote body rejuvenation and health.

You can be exposed to asbestos from these sources! Author: Bello kamorudeen

You can be exposed to asbestos in your workplace, in their communities, or in your homes. This article will look at four main sources of asbestos exposure.

Libby Vermiculite Vermiculite ore mined in Libby, Montana contained amphibole asbestos. People were exposed to the asbestos at and near the Libby mine. Other people were exposed when more than 200 sites around the country received and processed vermiculite from the Libby mine. Exposure to asbestos-contaminated vermiculite from Libby occurred through workplaces, communities, and households. Vermiculite mining in and near the city of Libby, Montana began in the 1920s and was continued from 1963 until 1990. The vermiculite ore mined in Libby was contaminated with tremolite asbestos.

A research review found that for the 20-year period examined, mortality from asbestosis was approximately 40 times higher than the rest of Montana and 60 times higher than the rest of the United States.

Naturally occurring asbestos

In some places such as El Dorado hills California, asbestos occurs naturally in soil. People may be exposed to asbestos fibers when asbestos-contaminated soil is disturbed where they live, work and play. Naturally occurring asbestos refers to those fibrous materials that are found in the rocks or soil in many areas. People can be exposed to asbestos where they live, work, or play through routine activities that crush asbestos-containing rock or stir up dust in soils containing asbestos fibers.

Some examples of these activities are as follows:

Working in the yard or garden

Digging or shoveling dirt

Riding bicycles, off-road vehicles such as four wheelers, and dirt bikes on unpaved surfaces

Running, hiking, and playing on unpaved surfaces

World Trade Center

If you live in New York especially around Manhattan area, you might have been exposed to asbestos fibers that were released after the Sept 11 bomb attack on the World Trade Center.

Other Asbestos Exposure

Asbestos has been used in commercial applications and to make automotive, building, and consumer products. Asbestos-containing material may release asbestos fibers into the air during product use, demolition work, building or home maintenance, repair, and remodeling.

Don’t Ignore This Colon Cancer Symptoms Author: Luther Dunn

The reasons for colon cancer symptoms are quite unpleasant. Tiny tumors develop along the walls of the gut, which causes seeping and bleeding. This may cause blood to be mixed with bowel movements. If carcinoid tumors grow large enough, then one’s belly may stick out and the stomach may hurt severely. In rare cases, the bowel may tear or contents of the bowel may leak into the pelvis area, causing inflammation, infection, weight loss and puking. If detected early thru a colonoscopy procedure, which should be done every ten years after 50, this threatening cancer is 93% treatable.

According to the American Cancer Society, the leading causes of colon cancer include colon polyps, cancer some place else in the body, Crohn’s illness, ulcerative colitis, a record of breast cancer or a family history of colon cancer. Researchers at the Howard Hughes Medical Center and John Hopkins Medical Center have identified a genetic link for cancer of the bowel, which is a defect in glycosylation enzymes. Other contributory elements include a unsuitable poor diet ( fat heavy, low-fiber, red meat-filled diets ) and smoking cigarettes. Also, 90% of people who have cancer of the bowel are over 50, which is when screening should begin.

Some of colon cancer symptoms arrive as intestinal pain in the lower stomach, bloody stools, gut rot, trots, irregular bowel movements, narrow stools, anemia and sudden weight loss. [**] colon cancer can be sensed before symptoms even happen, when it is usually treatable. Some colon cancer screening tests include a sigmoidoscopy, a fecal occult blood test, a fecal DNA test, a virtual colonoscopy and the standard colonoscopy. The Yank Cancer Society endorses beginning these tests at age 50, since ninety percent of cancer of the bowel is identified after this age.

If treatment of colon cancer symptoms isn’t sought, then the ramifications can be deadly. Metastatic colon cancer is the 3rd leading cause of cancer death among men and women in the U. S. , following breast/prostate cancer and lung cancer. What begins as safe abnormal cells called polyps can develop over the years into carcenogenic lymph nodes and tumors that travel throughout the body, spreading to other tissues and organs, slaughtering the host. Even if preliminary cancer is perceived and removed, there’s some chance of a colon cancer recurrence, so screenings will have to be done every couple of years.

Tennessee Mesothelioma Lawyers-They can get you the compensation you deserve Author: Bello kamorudeen

Tennessee mesothelioma, asbestos cancer attorneys, will help you get the compensation you deserve if you have suffered due to the neglect or wrongful actions of someone else. Those asbestos companies that exposed you to asbestos exposed you, knowing the risks involved in such exposure.

This rapidly spreading cancer is caused by the inhalation of asbestos dust and fibers. It may take from 20-30 years for mesothelioma to develop after a person is exposed to asbestos. Current studies suggest 2000-3000 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with mesothelioma per year with that number increasing steadily.

Tennessee companies that manufactured sold and installed products made with asbestos had knowledge of the deadly hazards of asbestos as early as 1920, but did nothing to warn or protect their workers from the risks. This has resulted in many of the exposed workers contracting mesothelioma unnecessarily.

Asbestos cancer can be a difficult disease to cope with. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, or you think you may have the disease, visit your physician as soon as possible and get in touch with an attorney who has extensive knowledge of mesothelioma. Time is of the essence when it comes to mesothelioma.

Attorneys need time to properly prepare you case so it is very important you get in touch with one as soon as you are properly diagnosed. Just a few days could mean the difference between a large settlement and no compensation at all. So get in touch with a Tennessee mesothelioma Lawyer as soon as you receive a diagnosis of mesothelioma.
