The Surprising Benefits of Lemon

Hi Guys.. Check out this article below: The surprising benefits of lemon! ================================ Institute of Health Sciences, 819 N. L.L.C. Charles Street Baltimore , MD 1201. This is the latest in medicine, effective for cancer!

Read carefully & you be the judge. Lemon(Citrus) is a miraculous product to kill cancer cells. It is 10,000 times stronger thanchemotherapy. Why do we not know about that? Because there are laboratories interested in making a synthetic version that will bring them huge profits. You can now help a friend in need by letting him/her know that lemon juice is beneficial in preventing the disease. Its taste is pleasant and it does not produce the horrific effects of chemotherapy. How many people will die while this closely guarded secret is kept, so as not to jeopardize the beneficial multimillionaires large corporations? As you know, the lemon tree is known for its varieties of lemons and limes. You can eat the fruit in different ways: you can eat the pulp, juice press, prepare drinks, sorbets, pastries, etc... It is credited with many virtues, but the most interesting is the effect it produces on cysts and tumors. This plant is a proven remedy against cancers of all types. Some say it is very useful in all variants of cancer. It is considered also as an anti microbialspectrum against bacterial infections and fungi, effective against internal parasites and worms, it regulates blood pressure which is too high and an antidepressant, combats stress and nervous disorders. The source of this information is fascinating: it comes from one of the largest drug manufacturers in the world, says that after more than 20 laboratory tests since 1970, the extracts revealed that: It destroys the malignant cells in 12 cancers, including colon, breast, prostate, lung and pancreas ... The compounds of this tree showed 10,000 times better than the product Adriamycin, a drug normally used chemotherapeutic in the world, slowing the growth of cancer cells. And what is even more astonishing: this type of therapy with lemon extract only destroys malignant cancer cells and it does not affect healthy cells. Institute of Health Sciences, 819 N. L.L.C.

Alert: Sexually Active Women Are At Higher Risk of Breast Cancer!!!

Hi guys...


I don't think this is the best news that you wanna get today but apparently it's true!!!! 

Well according to Priscilla Furth M.D Professor of Oncology and Medicine from Georgetown Lombardi, a recent study has linked Aromatase. This is an Enzyme which is present in sexually matured women. This enzyme increases the secretion of Estrogen which promotes the formation of Cancer Cells. The rate of Aromatase to be present  in a woman's breast goes in proportion with her sexual activeness. 


Well, according to a group of scholars who are undertaking this study with Priscilla, the discovery of how Aromatase can interact with a woman's body to promote cancer has brought to bigger openings in aiding cancer prevention and cure.. How?? Well, with this knowledge they claim that they can create Aromatase inhibitors that will slow down its "working capacity" and thus reduce the secretion of estrogen. 


As for me, i am pretty dumbfounded by this fact... So what do we do now??.. Reduce sexual activity?? Well it's up to us to ponder about this fact.... 


Feel free to tell me what you think... But let us keep in mind that this is just one of the many factors that lead to Breast Cancer... Basically every single one of us have to pay more attention to our breast care. After all it's one of our greatest assets right??


That's all for now guys.. till our next post.. adios..

A New Medical Breakthrough for Breast Cancer Being Developed

Hi Guys,

Below is an article about a medical breakthrough that will be amazing for all women. Read on and lets all hope that one day this will be available to aid those battling with breast cancer:- 

Breast cancer gel shrinks tumours... and without tablets' unpleasant side-effects

By PAT HAGAN

Last updated at 11:27 PM on 5th August 2011

A breast cancer gel is being developed to shrink tumours in a development that could revolutionise treatment of the disease.

The treatment is rubbed on to the skin daily and has far fewer unpleasant side-effects than the tablet tamoxifen  – the most commonly used drug in Britain.

But it contains the same active ingredient, and concentrates it in the breast rather than dispersing it around the entire body like pills do.

Researcher Professor Seema Khan, who is testing the gel in the U.S., said: We think it may be a very good solution for women who are reluctant to take tamoxifen.

‘Delivery through the skin means there will be very little drug circulating through the bloodstream and the body.’

If the trials are successful then the treatment – called afimoxifene – could be available to British patients in  the next three to four years. 

Around 130 UK women  are diagnosed with breast  cancer every day – or 48,000  a year.

Many of them are prescribed tamoxifen to shrink their tumours before surgery or to lower the risk of the cancer returning afterwards.

The drug blocks the receptors in the breast that accept the hormone oestrogen, which is responsible for causing many types of the disease.

Recent studies show that women who take tam- oxifen for five years have far better long-term survival prospects.

Tamoxifen was developed in the UK in the 1960s and has been credited with helping reduce breast cancer deaths by 30 per cent.

But up to half of women on the drug quit before the  five years are up because  of unpleasant side-effects, which commonly include  nausea, hot flushes and weight gain.

The medicine has also been linked in rare cases to blood clots that can cause strokes and womb cancer. And it can  adversely interact with  other cancer drugs and the blood-thinning treatment warfarin.

Many women are reluctant to take Tamoxifen due to the unpleasant side effects

Tamoxifen is taken orally then broken down by the liver and circulated around the body before it reaches the breast tissue.

However afimoxifene is applied to the skin over the tumour, where it seeps into the affected cells and stays. 

Professor Khan, of Northwestern University near Chicago, said: ‘It is a way to minimise exposure to the rest of the body and concentrate the drug where it is needed.’

It is hoped afimoxifene will encourage more women to stay on the treatment for longer and so boost their chances of survival.

The current trial was set up after a study in France on 55 women showed rubbing the active ingredient of tamoxifen on the skin was just as good as tablets at slowing cancer-  tissue growth.

Women on the gel therapy had up to nine times less potentially toxic medicine in their bloodstream too.

Volunteers on the U.S. programme will either take tamoxifen tablets or use the gel for six weeks before their scheduled cancer surgery to see how much their tumours shrink by.

UK cancer charities gave  the research a cautious  welcome.  

Dr Susie Jennings of Breakthrough Breast  Cancer said: ‘It’s exciting to see alternative methods of delivering treatment being explored.

‘But it will be some time before we know if it could be used safely and effectively.’

And Dr Kat Arney of Cancer Research UK said ‘It’s not clear whether this gel can deliver the benefits of the drug with fewer side effects.
‘We’ll have to wait and see what the trial results show.

Exercising Can Do More Than Just Keeping You Fit...

Hi Guys,

We often talk about exercising as a way to keep fit and lose weight.. Well after reading the article below, you will realize that exercising can do MORE than just that.. Read on guys... Article taken from www.dailymail.co.uk ..

                                                 

Exercise is a ‘wonder drug’ for cancer survivors and may prevent the disease returning, it was suggested yesterday. Physical activity could also benefit those undergoing treatment for cancer, said Macmillan Cancer Support. It urges doctors to prescribe exercise rather than telling patients to rest, as in the past.

A review of more than 60 studies for the charity found that being active during treatment does not worsen fatigue and has positive effects on mood and wellbeing.

Once treatment has finished, exercise can reduce the impact of side effects, such as swelling, anxiety, depression, fatigue, impaired mobility and changes to weight.

The research also showed exercise has an impact on preventing recurrence of a few specific cancers.

For example, women with breast cancer who exercise for 150 minutes a week at moderate intensity have more than a 40 per cent lower risk of dying and recurrence of disease compared to women who are active for less than one hour a week.

Moderate exercise includes very brisk walking, heavy cleaning – such as washing windows, vacuuming and mopping – mowing the lawn, cycling and badminton.

Macmillan Cancer Support found that more than half of GPs, practice nurses, oncologists and cancer nurses did not speak to their patients about the possible benefits of exercise, or only spoke to a few of them.

The charity’s chief medical officer Jane Maher said: ‘If physical exercise were a drug, it would be hitting the headlines.

‘There really needs to be a cultural change so that health professionals see physical activity as an integral part of cancer aftercare, not just an optional add-on.’

There you go guys... if exercising can lower the rate for cancer recurrence, imagine what it can do for a person with no history of cancer??

Well guys, that's all for now... Till our next post.. adios..

6 Cancer Fighting Superfood

Hi Guys,

Today's post is going to be about food that contain cancer fighting abilities.. Read on guys..

To reduce your risk of cancer, look no further than your fridge. "All the studies on cancer and nutrition point to eating plant-based foods for their phytonutrients and other special compounds," says Richard Béliveau, PhD, chair in the prevention and treatment of cancer at the University of Québec at Montreal and author of Foods to Fight Cancer.

Aim for five to nine daily servings of all kinds of fruits and vegetables—especially these six superstars.

Broccoli
All cruciferous veggies (think cauliflower, cabbage, kale) contain cancer-fighting properties, but broccoli is the only one with a sizable amount of sulforaphane, a particularly potent compound that boosts the body's protective enzymes and flushes out cancer-causing chemicals, says Jed Fahey, ScD. A recent University of Michigan study on mice found that sulforaphane also targets cancer stem cells—those that aid in tumor growth.

Helps fight: breast, liver, lung, prostate, skin, stomach, and bladder cancers

Your Rx: The more broccoli, the better, research suggests—so add it wherever you can, from salads to omelets to the top of your pizza.

Berries
All berries are packed with cancer-fighting phytonutrients. But black raspberries, in particular, contain very high concentrations of phytochemicals called anthocyanins, which slow down the growth of premalignant cells and keep new blood vessels from forming (and potentially feeding a cancerous tumor), according to Gary D. Stoner, PhD, a professor of internal medicine at The Ohio State University College of Medicine.

Helps fight: colon, esophageal, oral, and skin cancers

Your Rx: Stoner uses a concentrated berry powder in his studies but says a half-cup serving of berries a day may help your health, too.


Tomatoes
This juicy fruit is the best dietary source of lycopene, a carotenoid that gives tomatoes their red hue, Béliveau says. And that's good news, because lycopene was found to stop endometrial cancer cell growth in a study in Nutrition and Cancer. Endometrial cancer causes nearly 8,000 deaths a year.

Helps fight: endometrial, lung, prostate, and stomach cancers

Your Rx: The biggest benefits come from cooked tomatoes (think pasta sauce!), since the heating process increases the amount of lycopene your body is able to absorb.


Walnuts
Their phytosterols (cholesterol-like molecules found in plants) have been shown to block estrogen receptors in breast cancer cells, possibly slowing the cells' growth, says Elaine Hardman, PhD, associate professor at Marshall University School of Medicine in Huntington, West Virginia.

Helps fight: breast and prostate cancers

Your Rx: Munching on an ounce of walnuts a day may yield the best benefits, Hardman's research found.


Garlic
Phytochemicals in garlic have been found to halt the formation of nitrosamines, carcinogens formed in the stomach (and in the intestines, in certain conditions) when you consume nitrates, a common food preservative, Béliveau says. In fact, the Iowa Women's Health Study found that women with the highest amounts of garlic in their diets had a 50 percent lower risk of certain colon cancers than women who ate the least.

Helps fight: breast, colon, esophageal, and stomach cancers

Your Rx: Chop a clove of fresh, crushed garlic (crushing helps release beneficial enzymes), and sprinkle it into that lycopene-rich tomato sauce while it simmers.


Beans
A study out of Michigan State University found that black and navy beans significantly reduced colon cancer incidence in rats, in part because a diet rich in the legumes increased levels of the fatty acid butyrate, which in high concentrations has protective effects against cancer growth. Another study, in the journal Crop Science, found dried beans particularly effective in preventing breast cancer in rats.

Helps fight: breast and colon cancers

Your Rx: Add a serving—a half-cup—of legumes a few times a week (either from a can or dry beans that've been soaked and cooked) to your usual rotation of greens or other veggies.

Well that's all for today.. till our next post.. adios...

Taller people at higher risk of cancer.. Is this for REAL?? Check it out..

Hi guys,

Today I found an interesting article from BBC News Online about something which kinda made me a little puzzled. Apparently, studies have revealed that taller people (more than 5 ft 9) are at higher risk in getting 10 different cancer... Well below is the excerpt of the article for you guys to read... 

Tall people 'more likely to develop cancer

By James GallagherHealth reporter, BBC News

University of Oxford researchers.

Continue reading the main story

For every four inches (10cm) above five feet a person was, the researchers said they had a 16% increased cancer risk.

The study of more than one million women,published in The Lancet Oncology, suggested chemicals that control growth might also affect tumours.

Cancer Research UK said tall people should not be alarmed by the findings.

The study followed 1.3 million middle-aged women in the UK between 1996 and 2001.

It linked 10 cancers to height - colon, rectal, malignant melanoma, breast, endometrial (uterus), ovarian, kidney, lymphoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma and leukaemia.

Those in the tallest group, over 5ft 9in, were 37% more likely to have developed a tumour than those in the shortest group, under 5ft.

Although the study looked only at women, the researchers said the height link was also present in men.

They combined 10 other research studies which showed a similar link in men.

Reason unknown

Dr Jane Green, lead researcher and from the University of Oxford, told the BBC: "Obviously height itself cannot affect cancer, but it may be a marker for something else."

Continue reading the main story

Higher levels of growth factors could do two things. They could result in more cells - taller people are made of more stuff so there are more cells which could mutate and become tumours. Alternatively, they could increase the rate of cell division and turnover, increasing the risk of cancer.

But as Dr Green admitted: "The point is we don't know."

Cancer Research UK's Sara Hiom said: "Tall people need not be alarmed by these results. Most people are not a lot taller, or shorter, than average, and their height will only have a small effect on their individual cancer risk."

Dr Caitlin Palframan, policy manager at Breakthrough Breast Cancer, said: "The big question is why this connection exists. If we can unravel why height affects the risk of cancer it will lead us closer to understanding how some cancers develop."

Continue reading the main story

The researchers suggested that height could also have contributed to increasing cancer incidence. In Europe, average height is thought to have increased by around 1cm every decade during the 20th Century.

They argued that the height increase in that time could have resulted in a 10-15% more cancers than if heights had remained the same

Cancer rates

• Shortest (under 5ft) - 7.5 cancers per 1,000 women per year
• Average (5ft 3in) - 8.3 cancers per 1,000 women per year
• Tallest (over 5ft 9in) - 10 cancers per 1,000 women per year

Well that's all for now guys... till our next post.. adios..

Obesity can increase Breast Cancer risk..

Hi guys,

Todays post i have taken from BBC UK's site. It's an interesting article on Obesity and Breast cancer relationship.. Here goes:- 

Obesity is the biggest driving force behind the most common form of breast cancer in older women, say researchers.

Alcohol and then cigarettes are the next largest culprits, according to Cancer Research UK.

One in eight women in the UK develop breast cancer in their lifetime, data shows, and the majority of these tumours are "hormone sensitive" meaning their growth is fuelled by hormones.

Too much stored fat in the body raises the level of these "sex" hormones.

Studies show that post-menopausal women with high levels of oestrogen and testosterone have between two and three times the risk of breast cancer than women with the lowest levels.

Experts have known for some time that factors that influence hormone levels - like pregnancy, the oral contraceptive pill and the menopause - can change a woman's breast cancer risk.

This latest work, published in the British Journal of Cancer, suggests obesity should go at the top of this list, not least because it is a lifestyle factor that women can have some control over.

Continue reading the main story

The Oxford University team, funded by Cancer Research UK, studied the health records of nearly 6,300 post-menopausal women, looking for factors that might explain why some developed hormone sensitive breast cancer when others did not.

A woman's weight had the greatest bearing on a woman's sex hormone levels, shortly followed by smoking and alcohol consumption.

Women who are overweight or obese - meaning they have a body mass index of 25 or more - had high levels of hormones like oestrogen and progesterone.

So too did women who drank more than two and a half units of alcohol a day or smoked more than 15 cigarettes daily.

Experts say women should be made aware of these modifiable risk factors.

Dr Julie Sharp, of Cancer Research UK, said: "This is an important study as it helps to show how alcohol and weight can influence hormone levels. Understanding their role in breast cancer is vital and this analysis sheds light on how they could affect breast cancer risk.

"We know that the risk of the disease can be affected by family history and getting older, but there are also things women can do help reduce the risk of the disease. Maintaining a healthy body weight and reducing alcohol consumption are key to reducing breast cancer risk."

One of the major Breast Cancer Causes REVEALED!!! (Men Got to read it too)

 

Hi guys, Some time ago, I attended a Breast Cancer Awareness seminar. I asked why the most common area for Breast Cancer was near the armpit. My question could not be answered at that time. This email was just sent to me, and I find it interesting that my question has been answered
I challenge you all to rethink your every day use of a product that could ultimately lead to aterminal illness. As of today, I will change my usage.

I showed it to a friend going through chemotherapy and she said she learned this fact in a support group recently.

The leading cause of breast cancer is the use of anti-perspirant.

What? A concentration of toxins which leads to cell mutations, a.k.a.CANCER.

Yes, ANTI-PERSPIRANT. Most of the products out there are an anti-perspirant /deodorant combination, so go home and check.. Deodorant is fine, anti-perspirant is not.

Here's why:- The human body has a few areas that it uses to purge toxins; behind the knees, behind the ears, groin area, and armpits. The toxins are purged in the form of perspiration. Anti-perspirant, as the name clearly indicates, prevents you from perspiring, thereby inhibiting the body from purging toxins from below the armpits.

These toxins do not just magically disappear. Instead, the body deposits them in the lymph nodesbelow the arms since it cannot sweat them out. Nearly all breast cancer tumors occur in the upper outside quadrant of the breast area. This is precisely where the lymph nodes are located.

Additionally, men are less likely (but not completely exempt) to develop breast cancer prompted by anti- perspirant usage because most of the anti-perspirant product is caught in their hair and is not directly applied to the skin.

Women who apply anti-perspirant right after shaving increase the risk further because shaving causes almost imperceptible nicks in the skin which give the chemicals entrance into the body from the armpit area.

PLEASE share this with anyone you care about.

Breast cancer is becoming frighteningly common. This awareness may save lives.
