The diagnosis is what nobody wants to hear. Despite all the advances in the field of medical science has made especially in the treatment and cure of cancer, cancer, diagnosis is feared by all people equally. Cancers are of many types and affect many parts of the body. Some cancers are found predominantly in women, while others such as prostate cancer is found only in men.
Cancer has become very treatable and there are many people today who have survived the disease once fatal. Having cancer can make people depressed because thoughts of death and mortality that become very active in their subconscious. Depression if left unchecked may lead to more stress. Another thought of stress caused by cancer is the thought of medical bills. Chemotherapy and radiation sessions are not cheap. Add this hospital, medicines and medical expenses and has a huge medical bill in front of you. His health insurance did not cover many of these costs, and all could lead to a drain on your finances. The concern about the finances of exhaustion can cause stress and other negative conditions.
Cancer can be extremely stress inducing. Stress is a state of physical or mental discomfort. Stress is the condition when things do not go your way anxiety and worry and think about the situation again and again adds to the tension. Any illness can cause stress and stress can lead to many other diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, depression and even cancer.
To stay in a positive frame of mind one can join a group of cancer in patients with cancer or cancer survivors to meet and talk about their battles and victories. These real life stories can be inspiring and can give one the determination and courage to go through treatment. Another way to combat stress is inspiring to read horror books about people who have overcome obstacles and emerge victorious.
It is important to maintain control over stress because untreated stress can lead to many health complications. There are ways to deal with the stress of the disease. It is important to be in a positive mood and a cheerful attitude. Definitely not easy when you are being treated for a potentially fatal, but at least the effort should be made. The treatment of cancer or other life-threatening condition gets faster and faster when you hold a positive attitude.
Taking the effort to make the lifestyle changes little while undergoing treatment for cancer can make recovery faster and smoother. You can change your diet and increasing intake of fresh fruits, green leafy vegetables, and minerals and protein foods and foods rich in oxidants such as green tea, for example. The body becomes stronger and increased immunity, which in turn is good for the treatment of cancer.

Breast Cancer is Possible Survival
Importantly, breast cancer is not easy to define. By this I mean that there are several types of breast cancer, the different growth stages of the disease, several treatment methods and, of course, the results of several with some women overcome the disease, some live with him for periods of time different and some succumb to the disease. But the question is can beat breast cancer? The answer is definitely yes.
Once the diagnosis has revealed the presence of breast cancer, there are several factors to be considered in direct relation to the chances of patient survival. The first factor is the stage of cancer. A zero means that the cancer is detected in its early stages, has not spread elsewhere in the body and the patient has an excellent chance of survival. Other steps to reach the peak at stage 4, where the cancer has spread to other organs and puts the patient in the gravest danger. Obviously, the earlier the detection is most likely that a patient has a low reading level.
Any diagnosis of cancer is difficult to say the least and can be devastating to women, their friends and family. But if you can stay calm in this crisis, it is important to consider the survival statistics today. They have improved enormously in recent decades. In the U.S., breast cancer is detected early and found that the phase zero, which is located within the breast, the patient is receiving an excellent chance of survival in the first five years of about 98% . As treatment techniques and new drugs are discovered and researched the possibilities of a life expectancy much longer continue to improve. Survival is not just a word these days, but much more a reality.
Statistics can sometimes yield some unexpected results and is related to the age of the patient. Strange that a woman under forty years seems to have a more difficult task of survival of a woman over forty. This is believed to be due to a cancer may grow more aggressively in a younger woman.
Chances of survival are largely determined by the degree of cancer cells in breast cancer tumor. Experts can study cancer cells under a microscope. If the cells are almost normal in appearance than are listed below as low-grade cancer is considered less dangerous. However, if cancer cells are very different from normal tissue cells of the breast after the tumor is considered as serious.
The bottom line, as we say today is that rates of breast cancer survival depend on a number of factors. And as difficult as it may be to stay calm once you have found a diagnosis of a tumor, it is vital that you as patient or as a spouse or a friend of the patient, get information from your doctor. In fact, you can survive and even overcome the disease.

Fight Prostate Enlargement with Chinese Medicine
Prostate problems are common. If they will admit it or not, men over 45 need regular prostate exams and potentially even the PSA test PSA. How does an enlarged prostate condition and is dangerous place? The prostate gland goes through two main periods of growth, once in early puberty and one on 25 years of age.
During the second phase of growth, an enlarged prostate condition can occur when the layer of tissue surrounding the prostate expansion stops and presses against the urethra. It is generally accepted that men over age 45 begin to experience some prostate enlargement, even if no significant symptoms, and 60 years of age, it is believed that 80% of all men experience an expansion that affect urination.
Traditional Chinese medicine considers that generally the condition of enlarged prostate as an accumulation of moisture and heat in the lower torso Jiao (bass), or so cold that has entered the liver channel, often accompanied by renal deficiency as an underlying root. This condition gives rise to concern all urinary symptoms listed above. Acupuncture, moxibustion and acupuncture laser shows good results in helping restore normal urinary function (SN Luo et al. Official World of acupuncture-moxibustion), and Chinese herbal therapy has been shown to eliminate the causes of the enlargement of the prostate. Overall, Chinese herbal medicine and acupuncture are an important option to overcome the battle with prostate enlargement. In one study, electro-acupuncture was also shown to help chronic prostatitis cases unresponsive to conventional therapies (Ikeuchi T, Iguchi H).
Acupuncture treatments (traditional, electro, laser) and moxibustion (heat therapy) are usually once a week unless there is considerable pain 2-3 treatments per week for 1-3 weeks may be justified. Herbal Therapy Chinese will be administered in the form of tea per day, pills, powders, or drops. Some nutritional supplements and herbal therapy may also be recommended Westerners. The diet will also be reviewed from a traditional point of view vigorously to help remove anything that may aggravate the condition of the prostate.

Threatment Growing of Throat Cancer
Despite the active cancer prevention campaign, the incidence of throat cancer in the United States has not decreased in recent years. In fact, the statistics are even increasing in some areas, unlike the downward trend in the head and neck of other cancers that are usually associated with smoking and drinking alcohol.
We are investigating whether the virus infections of sexually transmitted human papillomavirus (HPV) could be the real cause. HPV is a virus that causes infections such as genital warts and most cervical cancers. Recently, researchers have found that HPV transmission through oral sex is a potential cause of throat cancer.
Initial findings highlight the importance of research to establish whether the recent HPV vaccine available is effective in males. This vaccine is considered that almost 100% effective in preventing infection of the cervix. Thus, the medical community and the vaccine industry are encouraged to consider their role in preventing oral cancer.
At present, the consumption of snuff and alcohol are classified as major risk factors for head and neck. According to the American Cancer Society, approximately 90% of patients with these diseases either smoking or chewing snuff, or have done in the past, and up to 80% of patients with oral cancer drink too much alcohol.
The newly published analysis of head and neck cancer trends in the U.S. showed that the decline in smoking has led to a decline in most head and neck cancers in the past two decades. However, the throat cancer remains the major exception to this trend. This is more specifically defined as cancer of the oropharynx, which includes the tonsils, tongue base and soft palate, side and back of the throat.
Although these cancers are rare, its incidence has remained stable overall, while the tongue cancer rates among young adults has increased. They conclude that this is probably due to HPV infections, which can be transmitted through oral sex.
In the past five years, 35% of patients with throat cancer at MD Anderson Cancer Center had no history of smoking and that nearly 90% of patients who had never smoked showed evidence of oral HPV infection.
The current policy in the U.S. is to recommend the HPV vaccine only for girls 11 to 12 years of age and for women up to age 26 who have not received yet. The researchers concluded that vaccinating women against HPV could only result in a missed opportunity to prevent throat cancers. However, in countries like Australia and Mexico, the HPV vaccine is offered even to men, although there is still no clinical evidence to show that HPV infections in men lead to throat cancer. Studies are underway to determine whether the vaccine can protect children against genital HPV infection.
"The HPV vaccine could be a very effective protection against cervical cancer, and there's a good chance that will reduce the incidence of other types of HPV-promote cancer as well," said Debbie Saslow, PhD, of the Company American Cancer Society. "But we have no data to confirm that, and not have any in the near future."

How do life Healthy And Avoid Breast Cancer
Due to the increased life expectancy increasing number of people affected by cancer. In adults, very often operate in cancers affecting organs such as lung, pancreas or colon cancer. In children, however, carcinomas occur, as never before. For them, leukemia is the most common form of cancer.
The statistics are affected men was almost twice as often, subject to this age is 68 years of life is.
A healthy diet and regular checkups can act prophylactically, or leave a disease seen very quickly. The earlier cancer is detected, the greater the chances of recovery.
In women, breast cancer and cervical cancer is a common way. Here, too, through periodic examinations, quickly detect and treat cancer. To take precautions breast cancer, certain hormones (contraceptive pill) is well proven, especially women, whose ancestors had been ill with cancer, periodic review should be undertaken by the health perceptions.
For the prevention of breast cancer also includes the regular review. Exactly how this works, will explain to a gynecologist. These small lumps or other breast tissue or under the arm may feel a lot faster. In addition, mammography is a screening test. This form of research is especially suitable for women over 40 years.
In younger women, this research does not arise often incorrect results, as occurs in women younger than 40 years, only less frequent mammography as the research in question. But if breast cancer runs if his family and his grandmother and / or mother, you should get checked more often.

Alternative Lung Cancer Treatment
Most people around the world die of cancer, and a common cause that unites them is lung cancer. The standard age for diagnosis of this disease is sixty. Cancer can be classified into two types of small cell (or cell layer) of lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer cells. The growth of small cell cancer of the lung is very fast and can easily spread to other parts of the body. This type of lung cancer is more common among smokers. The non-small cell lung cancer cell is divided into three types: squamous cell carcinoma (a very common type of lung cancer), adenocarcinoma and large cell carcinoma.
Around 170,000 new lung cancer cases are detected each year and about 160,000 people lose their lives due to disease, if detected before spreading to lymph nodes or other parts of the body, there is a 50% chance of survival . However, most of the time, cancer is not detected in the initial phase making the chances of survival as low as 12%, although things have improved now due to improved diagnostic procedures.
There are three types of alternative treatments for lung cancer, which are the proper nutrition, oxygen therapy and lycopene. Although these natural remedies for cancer are very useful but we must also remember that the following types of medicine and alternative therapies have no scientific basis.
To reduce the risk of lung cancer should include fruits and vegetables like tomatoes in your diet. Lentinan shiitake mushrooms have also protects against lung cancer.
Soy is an antioxidant known as genistein and may inhibit the growth of lung cancer cells. Other antioxidants that help in curing lung cancer is alpha carotene, beta carotene and other carotenoids. However, many scientists believe that beta carotene can also be connected with a high rate of lung cancer and death in smokers and people exposed to asbestos. If the beta carotene, vitamin C and E are taken together the potential consequences are frustrated. Taking glutathione, selenium, lutein and lycopene may also reduce the risk of lung cancer.
There is a relationship between sugar and cancer as well. Scientists believe that the decreased intake of sugar in the body can decrease the growth rate of lung cancer. There is a solid scientific back up for it. Like the human body cell, cancer cell produced by the sugar from carbohydrates in the diet for power. Some of the active and malignant cancer cells reproduce and is spread when you take large amounts of sugar, to decrease the spread of cells from lung cancer patients are recommended to decrease the amount of sugar in your diet.
A "cure minute" on today lung cancer is the oxygen therapy. Clean and adequate supply of oxygen to a patient suffering from lung cancer is a perfect cure for this disease. Certainly, other aspects such as proper diet and good food is also taken into thought.
The lycopene or tomatoes have been accepted as a cure for various cancers, including lung cancer. Research shows that tomatoes can reduce hazards of cancer including lung cancer, colon cancer and prostate cancer. Tomatoes have a certain substance known as lycopene, an antioxidant, which may be useful alternative treatment for lung cancer, but are good for preventing lung cancer.
A lot of cures for lung cancer and alternative therapies are good for a patient suffering from lung cancer, but some of them have no scientific backing.

How Curing Cancer with food
There are four characteristics to each person who is diagnosed with cancer and they are: a weak immune system, lack of oxygen in the cells, toxins and excess acidity. The food we eat every day the causes of these three characteristics.
The foods we choose to eat is closely linked to cancer, wherever it appears in the body, food is singularly defective the most important factor in the development of all cancers. If there has been enormous progress in surgery, there were many new drugs and the ability to detect cancer has improved dramatically at first. But unfortunately, the only progress they have made is the survival rate of someone diagnosed with cancer.
The reason being that they are addressing only the symptoms of cancer that is growing, not why the former has grown and it does not help the patient to overcome the problem long term. Our three main treatments are toxic and all damage to the immune system. What the body really is crying out is to be cured by good nutrition and proper food choices will be. A healthy body can overcome cancer or advanced cancer.
The most effective healer we have is a natural immune functioning and the only way to achieve this is to use our natural food as medicine. The human body has a remarkable tendency to conquer cancer through our built in immune system. The food we eat every day does not make much sense, but alas, it does not have many dollars. Therefore we will not be informed about natural treatments for food aid, because our salaries now part of everyday life are all focused on money.
The natural food for humans is freshly grown fruits and vegetables, most have anti-carcinogenic properties. Recent research has found food such as onions, tomatoes, green and orange vegetables and many fruits including berries in their natural state have an amazing ability to strengthen his body to fight cancer and other diseases. The food we eat today do not possess such properties as the fight against cancer we mostly eat food that has been processed.
By using our natural food as medicine is the application of common sense to the problem of cancer. Examining the reasons for which he first cultivated. Our food today play a large part why there is so much cancer and it is logical that by correcting the diet which will build up our immunity and enables the body to fight against cancer overcome the disease.
It is important to realize that cancer is a disease of the whole body, not only when growth has occurred. Therefore, it reappears again just after someone has suffered any orthodox treatments. Cancer is primarily due to a condition in the body by removing just thought, this does not remove the requirement that first caused these tumors appear. What is needed is healing the whole body and good nutrition will.
Cancer therapy is a billion dollar business for three years, where there is no huge profit in the use of food as your medicine. The most powerful weapon against cancer is the food we choose to eat every day.
