Medical treatment for liver cancer

"Nexavar", the pill against liver cancer..
Doctors declared for the first time, that they found a medicine that can increase the chances to survive for people suffering of liver cancer.
A disease that affects over 500 000 people around the world.
Doctors made some research on 602 patients with advaced fases of liver cancer, who took 2 pills everyday of this medicine that contains "sorafenib".
The majority of the patients who had this treatment, lived more, with 30 % then the others.
Scientists say that this is the first systematic treatment for liver cancer. Sorafenib atacks the cancer cell, by stopping its blood alimentation. The tumors don't disappear and don't lose their proportions, but they stop growing. The disease is not cured but the process is being stoped for a few months.
The medicine that contains the substance named sorafenib is found in drug stores as Nexavar. USA and other 12 countries benefit of it.

It's chance for those who suffer from liver cancer and kidney cancer..

SMOKING and LUNG CANCER

The American Department Of Health announced that women are affect more by the lung cancer. This disease is the first one that causes death to women, more then breast cancer and colon cancer.
When we think of lung cancer, most of us believe that the majority of men who are smoking,
can be affected by this disease.
But the reality is totaly different."Lung cancer affects women most then breast cancer, colon cancer and uterus cancer, but they don't realise that they are putting their life in danger." said dr. Jyoti Patel, from oncology, Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago. The risk is that women and doctors don't realise the gravity of the situation regarding the statistics, reported the american authorities. DANGER!


"Women who smoked in their youth and quit, they still have the risk to get sick." added dr. Patel in a study in the Journal of the American Medical Association. According to dr. Patel, the med students learn about the lung cancer as a disease that only appears to 60 year old men who are smoking. That's why a lot of doctors won't warn their patinents (women) of the risks they expose themselves to, by smoking.
In 2003, from 4 cases of cancer to women, one was lung cancer.
It seems that in USA,
over 70 000 died of lung cancer and 39 000 that died from breast cancer, recording to the American Society of Cancer.

SMOKING..The most important thing that leads to cancer is smoking. "If I were asked wich are the 10 things that causes lung cancer, the first nine are smoking." said dr. Patel.
One of five women are smoking and many are pasive smokers. Women that are pasive smokers have a higher risk to lung cancer then men.
Women develope in their lungs small tumors that are more agresive then other tumors wich can be found and treated much easier.
It's also the hormonals differences between man and women,
that's why it affects the evolution of this disease, not favourable to women.

"Women wich get sick, isolate themselves and take over them all the quilt.
That's why they don't participate in campaignes that warn all the women about the lung cancer. 
I tell my patients that smoking is a bad choice 'cause it ain't worth it getting sick because of that."
sais dr. Patel. She recommends them to realise how much they harm their body and their lungs by smoking. 
She incourages them to participate in campagnes against lung cancer to fight this disease. 

Just like a small node makes a woman go to the doctor, the same it should be with the cough.
This symptom can indicate different problems, from simple coulds to lung cancer.
Those who cough frequently, or wake up in the middle of the night because of the caugh, who breath hard, or worst, who spit blood, need to go as fast as they can to the doctor.

LACK OF INTEREST..The reaserch for lung cancer is not interesting,
like other forms of cancer, sais dr. Patel. Only 1.300 $ on a case of lung cancer are spent for research, 
30.000 $ on a patient with aids,
18 000 $ on a case with breast cancer and 10 000 $ on a patient with prostate (gland) cancer.
This is happening because of the survivors of the lung cancer, wich are not interested in campaignes for gathering founds for treating this disease.
And worst, the society doesn't take care of the ones that know that they can get sick by smoking.

If you don't wanna quit smoking...then, be realistic about the risk you expose yourself to,
and be sure that someday it's gonna destroy your body, it's either you quit and
protect yourself
or not quit and maybe, be another victime of the lung cancer and all the other forms of cancer!



                                      Make it a better world, STOP smoking..protect yourselves and your children..Have a peaceful life!

How to quit smoking?

The best way to quit smoking, comes from the indians, even if they are the ones that invented the"tabacoo pipe". This remedy that existed for thousands of years is called the Kombucco Orientalis.
Smoking cuts down 35 days per year from our lives and 30% of deaths by cancer.
Products that help us STOP smoking DON'T exist, only Kombucco Orientalis
can destroy the tabacoo dependence and
it can recover the tissues that have been destroyed and can cause cancer.

nowadays the ordenary medicines destroy us. Keep it healthy!

The Peanut Butter Fights Diseases

A delicious element is the peanut butter wich can replace the ordenary butter and margarine.
The peanut butter is very appreciated in most of the countries, like USA. Americans believe that peanut butter protects our body from heart diseases, cancer, diabetes (II) and Alzheimer.
It was descovered at the end of the 1800, as a product based on nutritional facts especially for the elders, wich have difficulties in chewing solide products. Like the earth nut, it is full of fats, that's why it is not recommended in a strict diet. But these fats are unsaturated, that's why the peanut butter is different then the ordenary butter and other animal fats.
It contains vitamine E (3.2 mg of vitamine E in two spoons of peanut butter).
This butter is made of vegetal proteins, fibre, vitamine B, magnesium, copper, potassium and zinc.
Because of its antioxidant effect, the peanut butter can prevent cronical diseases and it represents a natural alternative for the extra vitamins and minerals.
For all those who love the peanut butter,
I have some great news for you, it's very healthy and it's recommended to be consumed.
                                                                                                                        Enjoy yourselfs!!

Let Your Food Be Your Medicine

Many of the things we put into our mouths cannot be considered food.

Additives, preservatives, and the like can act in the body to burden the liver,
raise blood pressure and even stimulate cancer cell growth.
Food - fruits and vegetables, grains and nuts - are incredibly un-sexy nowadays though they provide all the nutrients the latest ‘discoveries’ tell us we need to be healthy.
‘Food’ has the ability to replenish nutrient shortages, hydrate and detoxify the body, build blood, muscle and bone, create natural energy, boost immunity, fight infection and build the enzymes needed to repair DNA.
Breast cancer begins with damaged DNA. So, whatever protection we can provide to our DNA is worth the effort.
Food for maintaining breast health:
Mushrooms
Maitake mushroom literally means “dancing mushroom”. Historically, Maitake was so rare that people danced when they found it.
Along with other mushrooms in the family (Cordyceps, Coriolus, etc), Maitake contains natural sugars which stimulate cancer fighting NK and T cells.

Turmeric
The turmeric plant gives curried dishes their distinctive yellow color and contains a potent antioxidant called curcumin. Curcumin has multiple cancer fighting mechanisms including downregulating COX-2 (inflammation), EGFR and HER-2 (proliferation triggers). Chronic inflammation has been shown to progress to cancer particularly in the stomach and bladder.

Broccoli, Cauliflower, Brussel sprouts belong to the Brassica family and contain the chemopreventive agent brassinin. Chopping and light steaming make broccoli’s bioactive compounds more available. Organically grown cruciferous vegetables show higher levels of phytonutrients than conventionally grown.
Grapes are one of the most commonly consumed foods worldwide. Grape seeds, along with peanuts and mulberries, contain resveratrol. Resveratrol has been shown to possess chemopreventive and anti-tumor properties in laboratory studies.

Leaf Vegetables (spinach, kale)
Doctors recommend getting sufficient amounts of folic acid during pregnancy to protect against anemia. Following this recommendation before and after pregnancy as well can improve breast health. Folate (dietary methyl) is a nutrient that helps to regulate DNA methylation.
This accessory modification then partly controls which genes are switched on or off.
It is important that the so called ‘tumor suppressor genes’ such as BRCA-1 are properly regulated. Thus genes can be influenced by compounds in the foods we eat.

Onions and garlic contain allyl sulfides - compounds that make cells sensitive to the stress of cell division. Because cancer cells divide so frequently they undergo more stress and create more stressors. They are thus more susceptible to damage by allyl sulfides. The effective compounds are best concentrated at home by crushing or finely chopping the garlic and waiting about 15 minutes before cooking.

Soy has been associated with inhibition of breast cancer cells in some but not all laboratory studies. Soy (tofu, tempeh, etc.) contains phyto estrogens which mimic the body’s natural estrogen. It is believed that its tumor inhibiting properties are invoked by binding to estrogen receptors and blocking their growth stimulatory signals.

Special foods, called herbs, typically have little nutritive value but possess potent functional characteristics. Pharmaceutical companies have already harnessed the Pacific Yew tree and Periwinkle plant to create drugs like Taxol and Oncovin. Several other species have significant potential in cancer prevention and treatment.

Astragalus has a long history of use and seems to enhance the immune system by restoring suppressed immune T cell function.
Baikal skullcap (Scutellaria baicalensis) inhibits cancer cell proliferation in research studies.
Mushrooms (Codyceps, Coriolus, Maitake, etc.) show immunomodulating effects. They contain sugars such as polysaccharide-K (PSK) which have been used in Japan as an adjunct to chemotherapy.
Graviola (Annona muricata) may also be known as soursop. These tropical plants contain the Annonaceous acetogenins which stimulate apoptosis (programmed cell death) and seem to convey Graviola’s anti-tumor abilities. Studies also demonstrate Graviola’s capacity to inhibit the removal of cancer drugs from the cells.

Be carefull what you eat 'cause sooner or later it will affect your health!
