That is the opinion of the British Association of Dermatologists, which says behaviour concerning exposure to the sun’s rays is failing to improve, despite understanding of the disease increasing.

Rebecca Freeman, a spokesman for the healthcare organisation, claims that many people who believe they are protecting themselves from harmful rays are actually putting themselves at risk.

“Many people think they are protecting their skin by applying sunscreen, but then choose a product with a low protection, use it as an excuse to stay out in the sun or don’t reapply it often enough,” she explains.

According to Ms Freeman, any exposure to ultra-violet rays (UVR) can cause serious damage to the skin, whether through sunbathing or using artificial tanning booths.

The latter in particular can emit very high doses of UVR, which is a prime factor in the development of malignant melanoma – the most fatal form of skin cancer. Continue reading ‘Skin Cancer Prevention 'Not Effective Enough'’ »

One day, I came across a little paperback volume called “Raw Vegetable Juices “by N W Walker. Dr Walker was an amazing man, who pioneered around the turn of the century, a Juicer (still being marketed today) and really the whole concept of extracting the juice from vegetables and fruits. In this way, he sought to get at the “essence”and dispose of the residual pulp, (basically just cellulose) thereby reducing the energy required to digest the foods. That would allow the body to obtain all the rich vitamins and minerals it needs for health and vitality.

Walker also made a deep study of the effects of these juices on the bodies of sick people. He found that the food enzymes, which are complex substances that enable us to digest food properly, are hidden in the plants, and are released through the method of juicing in abundance.

The juicing method, and consuming mainly raw plant foods(uncooked-unprocessed) caught on with many American’s in the 60’s and 70’s, soon after, influencing Britain and Western Europe, and claims of all kinds of healing benefits were soon becoming apparent.

Leukemia is a form of cancer that develops in the bone marrow of human beings. Leukemia is usually caused by an uncontrolled production of blood cells. Those blood cells that produce at astronomical rates are the white blood cells. There are two forms of leukemia; acute leukemia and chronic leukemia. Acute leukemia makes the bone marrow extremely crowded and prevents the bone marrow from producing healthy blood cells. This type of leukemia occurs mostly in children and long adults. In children, this is an extremely common cause of death and should be treated immediately. If not treated immediately, the malignant cells will spread to other tissues and organs throughout the body.

Chronic leukemia usually takes months or sometimes even years to develop in one’s body and progress to the state of acute leukemia. Chronic leukemia is most common to occur in older adults but there is the possibility of it occurring in any age group. Once detected, treatment isn’t necessarily needed immediately. Sometimes doctors will hold off on treatment to find the best way to handle the disease after they monitor its development.

There is no definitive way to prevent leukemia but avoiding such risk factors as smoking, avoiding exposure to chemicals and avoiding exposure to radiation might help prevent the development of leukemia. Continue reading ‘Leukemia – A Form of Cancer’ »
