<p>cancer Cancer become any age group person may cancer, but nearly all types are more common in middle aged and elderly people than in young people. Skin is the most common type of cancer for both men and women. The next most common type among men is prostate cancer; among women, it is breast cancer. Lung cancer, however, is the leading cause of death from cancer for both men and women . Brain cancer and leukemia are the most common cancers in children and young adults.</p>
<p>The more we can learn about what causes cancer, the more likely we are to find ways to prevent it. Scientists study patterns of cancer in the population to look for factors that affect the risk of developing this disease. In the laboratory, they explore possible causes of cancer and try to determine what actually happens when normal cells become cancerous.</p>
<p>Our current understanding of the causes of cancer is incomplete, but it is clear that cancer is not caused by an injury, such as a bump or bruise. And although being infected with certain viruses may increase the risk of some types of cancer, cancer is not contagious no one can &#8220;catch&#8221; cancer from another person.</p>
<p>Cancer develops gradually as a result of a complex mix of factors related to environment, lifestyle, and heredity. Scientists have identified many risk factors that increase the chance of getting cancer. They estimate that about 80 percent of all cancers are related to the use of tobacco products, to what we eat and drink, or, to a lesser extent, to exposure to radiation or cancer-causing agents (carcinogens) in the environment and the workplace. Some people are more sensitive than others to factors that can cause cancer.</p>
<p><span id="more-58"></span>Many risk factors can be avoided. Others, such as inherited risk factors, are, unavoidable. It is helpful to be aware of them, but it Is also important to keep in mind that not everyone with a particular risk factor for cancer actually gets the disease; in fact, most do not. People at risk can help protect themselves by avoiding risk factors where possible and by getting regular checkups so that, if cancer develops, it is likely to be found early.</p>
<p>These are some of the factors that are known to increase the risk of cancer.</p>
<p><strong>Tobacco</strong> &#8211; Tobacco causes cancer. In fact, smoking tobacco, using “smokeless” tobacco, and being regularly exposed to environmental tobacco smoke without smoking are responsible for one-third of all cancer deaths. Smoking accounts for more than 85 percent of all lung cancer deaths. If you smoke, your risk of getting lung cancer is affected by the number and type of cigarettes you smoke and how long you have been smoking. Overall, for those who smoke one pack a day, the chance of setting lung cancer is about 10 times greater than for nonsmokers.</p>
<p>Smokers are also more likely than nonsmokers to develop several other types of cancer (such as oral cancer and cancers of the larynx, esophagus, pancreas, bladder, kidney, and cervix). The risk of cancer begins to decrease when a smoker quits, and the risk continues to decline gradually each year after quitting.</p>
<p>The use of smokeless tobacco (chewing, tobacco and snuff) causes cancer of the mouth and throat. Pre-cancerous conditions, or tissue changes that may lead to cancer, begin to go away after a person stops using smokeless tobacco.</p>
<p>Exposure to environmental tobacco smokes, also called involuntary smoking, increases the risk of lung cancer for nonsmokers. The risk goes up 30 percent or more for a nonsmoking spouse of a person who smokes. Involuntary smoking causes about 4,000 lung cancer deaths in this country each year.</p>
<p>If you use tobacco in any form and you need help quitting, talk with your doctor or dentist, or join a smoking cessation group sponsored by a local hospital or voluntary organization.</p>
<p><strong>Diet</strong><strong> </strong><strong>:</strong> Your choice of foods may affect your chance of developing cancer. Evidence points to a link between a high-fat diet and certain cancers, such as cancer of the breast, colon, uterus, and prostate. Being seriously overweight appears to be linked to increased rates of cancer of the prostate, pancreas, uterus, Colon, and ovary, and to breast cancer in older women. On the other hand, studies suggest that foods containing fiber and certain nutrients help protect us against some types of cancer. You may be able to reduce your cancer risk by making some simple food choices. Try to have a varied, well-balanced diet that includes generous amounts of foods that are high in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. At the same time, try to cut down on fatty foods. You should eat five servings of fruits and vegetables each day, choose more whole-grain breads and cereals, and cut down on eggs, high-fat meat, high-fat dairy products (such as whole milk, butter, and most cheeses), salad dressings, margarine, and cooking oils.<br />
<strong><em><br />
</em></strong><strong>Sunlight </strong><strong>:</strong> Ultraviolet radiation from the sun and from other sources (such as sunlamps and tanning booths) damages the skin and can cause skin cancer. (Two types of ultraviolet radiation&#8211;UVA and UVB&#8211;are explained in the Medical Terms section.) Repeated exposure to ultraviolet radiation increases the risk of skin cancer, especially if you have fair skin or freckle easily. The sun is ultraviolet rays are strongest during the summer from about 11 a.m. to about 3 p.m. (daylight saving time). The risk is greatest at this time, when the sun is high overhead and shadows are short. As a rule, it is best to avoid the sun when your shadow is shorter than you are.</p>
<p>Protective clothing, such as a hat and, long sleeves, can help block the sun&#8217;s harmful rays. You can also use sunscreens to help protect yourself. Sunscreens are rated in strength according to their SPF (sun protection factor), which ranges from 2 to 30 and higher. Those rated 15 to 30 block most of the sun&#8217;s harmful rays.</p>
<p><strong>Alcohol.</strong> Drinking, large amount of alcohol increases the risk of cancer of the mouth, throat, esophagus, and larynx. (People who smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol have an especially high risk of getting these cancers.) Alcohol can damage the liver and increase the risk of liver cancer. Some studies suggest that drinking alcohol also increases the risk of breast cancer. So if you drink at all, do so in moderation-not more than one or two drinks a day.<br />
<strong><br />
<strong>Radiation</strong></strong><strong> </strong><strong>:</strong> X-rays used for diagnosis expose you to very little radiation and the benefits nearly always outweigh the risks. However, repeated exposure can be harmful, so it is a good idea to talk with your doctor or dentist about the need for each x-ray and ask about the use of shields to protect other parts of your body. Before 1950, X-rays were used to treat non-cancerous conditions (such as an enlarged thymus, enlarged tonsils and adenoids, ringworm of the scalp, and acne) in children and young adults. People who have received radiation to the head and neck have a higher-than-average risk of developing thyroid cancer years later. People with a history of such treatments should report it to their doctor and should have a careful exam of the neck every 1 or 2 years.</p>
<p>Also, radiation used in the treatment of some types of cancer can increase the risk of developing a second cancer. Patients having radiation therapy may want to discuss this issue with their doctor.</p>
<p>Chemicals and other substances in the workplace being exposed to substances such as metals, dust chemicals, or pesticides at work can increase the risk of cancer. Asbestos, nickel, cadmium, uranium, radon, vinyl chloride, benzidene, and benzene are well-known examples of carcinogens in the workplace. These may act alone or along with another carcinogen, such as cigarette smoke. For example, inhaling asbestos fibers increases the risk of lung diseases, including cancer, and the cancer risk is especially high for asbestos workers who smoke. It is important to follow work and safety rules to avoid contact with dangerous materials.</p>
<p><strong>Hormone replacement therapy</strong>: Many women use estrogen therapy to control the hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and osteoporosis (thinning of the bones) that may occur during menopause. However, studies show that estrogen use increases the risk of cancer of the uterus. Other studies suggest an increased risk of breast cancer among women who have used high doses of estrogen or have used estrogen for a long time. At the same time, taking estrogen may reduce the risk of heart disease and osteoporosis.</p>
<p>The risk of uterine cancer appears to be less when progesterone is used with estrogen than when estrogen is used alone. But some scientists are concerned that the addition of progesterone may also increase the CANCER risk of breast cancer.</p>
<p><strong>HOMEOPATHY APPCHOCH IN STOMACH </strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Out of ten person, one person suffering fron gestrities and out of them hundred one person suffering from stoch cancer.If the cancer can be identified at a time when it only involves the superficial lining layer of the stomach and only involves a few cells and such a stomach cancer is surgically removed 90 % of these individuals are likely to have a normal life span . However if the stomach cancer has involved all the layers of the stomach this chance decreases to 50% and if it has spread outside the stomach or to distant organs of the body the chances of surviving in the long term are extremely gloomy .</p>
<p><strong>CAUSE FOR STOMACH CANCER </strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p>1. Benign stomach (gastric ) ulcer , in most instances these benign ulcers in the stomach do not become malignant although in a few cancerous change can supervene after many years . Helicobacter pylori infection of the stomach appears to be an important cause of gastric ulcers .</p>
<p>2. Chronic duodenal ulcer , this is a common condition of the duodenum , the organ situated next to the stomach . we can reassure those with this condition that even after many years of having a chronic duodenal ulcer , the chances of it becoming malignant are almost nil.</p>
<p>3. Gastritis with low or absent stomach acid production . This situation can occur in an uncommon illness. Pernicious anemia and it can also occur without any obvious reason . Here absent or low levels of stomach acid which is normally produced to aid digestion is associated with the disappearance of gastric glands and this is called atrophic gastritis . Atrophic gastritis is a pre malignant condition .</p>
<p><strong>GENATIC DISPOSITION OF STOMACH CANCER </strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Inherited causes :family history of stomach cancer ,such a history in a near relative doubles a person’s chances of developing stomach cancer during their life time</p>
<p>Type A blood group ,the common blood groups are A,B,O ,and AB. A person with type A blood has a 20% increased chance of developing stomach cancer during their life time compared to those with other blood groups</p>
<p>Personal health risks: presence of Helicobacter pylori in the stomach .this is an organism which in recent has been associated not only with stomach cancer but also with gastric and duodenal ulcers and with inflammatory changes called gastritis . why Helicobacter infection is present in some individuals but not in others is at present in some individuals but not in others is at present is uncertain , although it may be linked to both undesirable Helicobacter infection probably cause no symptoms . Helicobacter Pylori infection can usually be eradicated by the use of suitable antibiotics . It has also been suggested recently by Australian scientists that the regular intake of acidophilus bacteria (found in some brands of yoghurt and in some bacteria supplements )can also eradicate Helicobacter infection. Previous surgical removal of part of the stomach (partial gastrectomy ) for a non malignant condition , such as a gastric or duodenal ulcer . This become a stomach cancer risk some 15-40 years after the stomach has been removed . Pernicious anemia ,Individuals with this uncommon condition not only have anemia but also have no normal stomach acid production . They develop the condition previously described , atrophic gastritis . Individuals with atrophic gastritis have a 10 %chance of developing stomach cancer during their life time . Low or absent stomach acid production with atrophic gastritis , even in the absence of pernicious anemia , this is a risk for the future development of stomach cancer</p>
<p>Life style health risks : Dietary factors, a special risk for stomach cancer is a diet which is low in vegetables , fruit and cereals and particularly those fruits , vegetables and cereals which contain a lot of beta-carotene , vitamin-c and vitamin-e</p>
<p>A diet high in pickled . smoked , salted or cured food or foods preserved with nitrate , such as salami ,sausages , hot dogs , smoked meat , smoked fish or pickled food of any kind are also risks for stomach cancer . These dietary factors are probably important because the risk foods described above all seem to produce carcinogens</p>
<p>called nitrosamines . Also vitamin-C acts as antioxidant and has other actions which neutralize the effects of nitrosamines . Dietary factors are probably the most important single cause of stomach cancer . Smoking , a recent Australian study which examined all the scientific evidence published over the years has found that smoking is likely to be an important contributory cause of stomach cancer .</p>
<p><strong>PRIMARY PREVENTION CANCER</strong><strong> </strong><strong>:</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p>1.Dietary changes it is particularly important to have a high consumption of fruit ,vegetables and cereals which contain beta-carotene ,vitamin-c and vitamin-e and at the same time avoid or eat very little pickled ,smoked ,salted ,cured and nitrate –preserved foods .In a recently reported study from China ,where stomach cancer is still relatively common ,the daily use of vitamin-e ,beta carotene and selenium supplements decreased stomach cancer risk by one-fifth .</p>
<p>2. Avoid smoking ,hints and guidance about quitting smoking are described</p>
<p>3. Eradicate Helicobacter Pylori , if helicobacter infection has been shown to be present ,suitable antibiotics can be used recent research suggests that the acidophilus bacteria found in some dietary supplements may also been effective way to eliminate helicobacter infection</p>
<p>4. Aspirin based mainly on experimental data ,the regular use of aspirin as a preventive for stomach cancer has been advanced . However the human evidence of a preventive role for aspirin in stomach cancer is insufficient at present to make such a recommendation .</p>
<p><strong>ROLE FOR HOMEOPATHY TREATMENT</strong></p>
<p>In alternative medicine in homoeopathy medicine can cure cancer in various age group of person. In early stage of cancer may help to patient life Many people with cancer want to learn all they can about their disease and their treatment choices so they can take an active part in decisions about their medical care. Often, it helps to make a list of questions to ask the doctor. Patients may take notes or, with the doctor&#8217;s consent, tape record the discussion. Some patients also find it helps to have a family member or friend with them when they talk with the doctor to take part in the discussion, to take notes, or just to listen.</p>
<p>• Here are some questions may want to ask the doctor: What are the chances that the treatment will be successful?<br />
• Would a clinical trial be appropriate for me?<br />
• What are the risks and possible side effects of each treatment?</p>
<p>Although the side effects of radiation therapy can be unpleasant, the doctor can usually treat or control them. It also helps to know that, in most cases, they are not permanent.<br />
number of white blood cells, cells that help protect the body against infection<br />
<strong>Chemotherapy</strong> —the side effects of chemotherapy depends mainly on the drugs and doses the patient receives. Generally, anticancer drugs affect cells that divide rapidly. These include blood cells, which fight infection, help the blood to clot, or carry oxygen to all parts of the body. When blood cells are affected by anticancer drugs, patients are more likely to get infections, may bruise or bleed easily, and may have less energy. Cells that line the digestive tract also divide rapidly. As a result of chemotherapy, patients may have side effects, such as loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, hair loss, or mouth sores. For some patients, the doctor may prescribe medicine to help with side effects, especially with nausea and vomiting. Usually, these side effects gradually go away during the recovery period or after treatment stops. Hair loss another side effect of chemotherapy, is a major concern for many patients. Some chemotherapy drugs only cause the hair to thin out, while others may result in the loss of all body hair. Patients may feel better if they decide how to handle hair loss before starting treatment.</p>
<p>In some men and women, chemotherapy drugs cause changes that may result in a loss of fertility (the ability to have children). Loss of fertility may be temporary or permanent depending on the drugs used and the patient&#8217;s age. For men, sperm banking before treatment may be a choice. Women&#8217;s menstrual periods may stop, and they may have hot flashes and vaginal dryness. Periods are more likely to return in young women. In some cases, bone marrow transplantation and peripheral stem cell support are used to replace tissue that forms blood cells when that tissue has been destroyed by the effects of chemotherapy or radiation therapy.</p>
<p><strong>Hormone Therapy</strong> &#8211;Hormone therapy can cause a number of side effects. Patients may have nausea and vomiting, swelling or weight gain, and, in some cases, hot flashes. In women, hormone therapy also may cause interrupted menstrual periods, vaginal dryness, and, sometimes, loss of fertility. Hormone therapy in men may cause impotence, loss of sexual desire, or loss of fertility. These changes may be temporary, long lasting, or permanent.</p>
<p>HOMOEOPATHIC TREATMENT/MEDICINES</p>
<p>CHELIDINIUM : It has also cured cancer of the stomach when in a ,vomiting for cancer of throat , mouth or stomach .</p>
<p><em>Condurango</em> : In cancer of oesophagus or stomach . There are many other medicines , only few have been mentioned</p>

<p>Also, radiation used in the treatment of some types of cancer can increase the risk of developing a second cancer. Patients having radiation therapy may want to discuss this issue with their doctor.</p>
<p>Chemicals and other substances in the workplace being exposed to substances such as metals, dust chemicals, or pesticides at work can increase the risk of cancer. Asbestos, nickel, cadmium, uranium, radon, vinyl chloride, benzidene, and benzene are well-known examples of carcinogens in the workplace. These may act alone or along with another carcinogen, such as cigarette smoke. For example, inhaling asbestos fibers increases the risk of lung diseases, including cancer, and the cancer risk is especially high for asbestos workers who smoke. It is important to follow work and safety rules to avoid contact with dangerous materials.</p>
<p><strong>Hormone replacement therapy</strong>: Many women use estrogen therapy to control the hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and osteoporosis (thinning of the bones) that may occur during menopause. However, studies show that estrogen use increases the risk of cancer of the uterus. Other studies suggest an increased risk of breast cancer among women who have used high doses of estrogen or have used estrogen for a long time. At the same time, taking estrogen may reduce the risk of heart disease and osteoporosis.</p>
<p>The risk of uterine cancer appears to be less when progesterone is used with estrogen than when estrogen is used alone. But some scientists are concerned that the addition of progesterone may also increase the CANCER risk of breast cancer.</p>
<p><strong>HOMEOPATHY APPCHOCH IN STOMACH </strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Out of ten person, one person suffering fron gestrities and out of them hundred one person suffering from stoch cancer.If the cancer can be identified at a time when it only involves the superficial lining layer of the stomach and only involves a few cells and such a stomach cancer is surgically removed 90 % of these individuals are likely to have a normal life span . However if the stomach cancer has involved all the layers of the stomach this chance decreases to 50% and if it has spread outside the stomach or to distant organs of the body the chances of surviving in the long term are extremely gloomy .</p>
<p><strong>CAUSE FOR STOMACH CANCER </strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p>1. Benign stomach (gastric ) ulcer , in most instances these benign ulcers in the stomach do not become malignant although in a few cancerous change can supervene after many years . Helicobacter pylori infection of the stomach appears to be an important cause of gastric ulcers .</p>
<p>2. Chronic duodenal ulcer , this is a common condition of the duodenum , the organ situated next to the stomach . we can reassure those with this condition that even after many years of having a chronic duodenal ulcer , the chances of it becoming malignant are almost nil.</p>
<p>3. Gastritis with low or absent stomach acid production . This situation can occur in an uncommon illness. Pernicious anemia and it can also occur without any obvious reason . Here absent or low levels of stomach acid which is normally produced to aid digestion is associated with the disappearance of gastric glands and this is called atrophic gastritis . Atrophic gastritis is a pre malignant condition .</p>
<p><strong>GENATIC DISPOSITION OF STOMACH CANCER </strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Inherited causes :family history of stomach cancer ,such a history in a near relative doubles a person’s chances of developing stomach cancer during their life time</p>
<p>Type A blood group ,the common blood groups are A,B,O ,and AB. A person with type A blood has a 20% increased chance of developing stomach cancer during their life time compared to those with other blood groups</p>
<p>Personal health risks: presence of Helicobacter pylori in the stomach .this is an organism which in recent has been associated not only with stomach cancer but also with gastric and duodenal ulcers and with inflammatory changes called gastritis . why Helicobacter infection is present in some individuals but not in others is at present in some individuals but not in others is at present is uncertain , although it may be linked to both undesirable Helicobacter infection probably cause no symptoms . Helicobacter Pylori infection can usually be eradicated by the use of suitable antibiotics . It has also been suggested recently by Australian scientists that the regular intake of acidophilus bacteria (found in some brands of yoghurt and in some bacteria supplements )can also eradicate Helicobacter infection. Previous surgical removal of part of the stomach (partial gastrectomy ) for a non malignant condition , such as a gastric or duodenal ulcer . This become a stomach cancer risk some 15-40 years after the stomach has been removed . Pernicious anemia ,Individuals with this uncommon condition not only have anemia but also have no normal stomach acid production . They develop the condition previously described , atrophic gastritis . Individuals with atrophic gastritis have a 10 %chance of developing stomach cancer during their life time . Low or absent stomach acid production with atrophic gastritis , even in the absence of pernicious anemia , this is a risk for the future development of stomach cancer</p>
<p>Life style health risks : Dietary factors, a special risk for stomach cancer is a diet which is low in vegetables , fruit and cereals and particularly those fruits , vegetables and cereals which contain a lot of beta-carotene , vitamin-c and vitamin-e</p>
<p>A diet high in pickled . smoked , salted or cured food or foods preserved with nitrate , such as salami ,sausages , hot dogs , smoked meat , smoked fish or pickled food of any kind are also risks for stomach cancer . These dietary factors are probably important because the risk foods described above all seem to produce carcinogens</p>
<p>called nitrosamines . Also vitamin-C acts as antioxidant and has other actions which neutralize the effects of nitrosamines . Dietary factors are probably the most important single cause of stomach cancer . Smoking , a recent Australian study which examined all the scientific evidence published over the years has found that smoking is likely to be an important contributory cause of stomach cancer .</p>
<p><strong>PRIMARY PREVENTION CANCER</strong><strong> </strong><strong>:</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p>1.Dietary changes it is particularly important to have a high consumption of fruit ,vegetables and cereals which contain beta-carotene ,vitamin-c and vitamin-e and at the same time avoid or eat very little pickled ,smoked ,salted ,cured and nitrate –preserved foods .In a recently reported study from China ,where stomach cancer is still relatively common ,the daily use of vitamin-e ,beta carotene and selenium supplements decreased stomach cancer risk by one-fifth .</p>
<p>2. Avoid smoking ,hints and guidance about quitting smoking are described</p>
<p>3. Eradicate Helicobacter Pylori , if helicobacter infection has been shown to be present ,suitable antibiotics can be used recent research suggests that the acidophilus bacteria found in some dietary supplements may also been effective way to eliminate helicobacter infection</p>
<p>4. Aspirin based mainly on experimental data ,the regular use of aspirin as a preventive for stomach cancer has been advanced . However the human evidence of a preventive role for aspirin in stomach cancer is insufficient at present to make such a recommendation .</p>
<p><strong>ROLE FOR HOMEOPATHY TREATMENT</strong></p>
<p>In alternative medicine in homoeopathy medicine can cure cancer in various age group of person. In early stage of cancer may help to patient life Many people with cancer want to learn all they can about their disease and their treatment choices so they can take an active part in decisions about their medical care. Often, it helps to make a list of questions to ask the doctor. Patients may take notes or, with the doctor&#8217;s consent, tape record the discussion. Some patients also find it helps to have a family member or friend with them when they talk with the doctor to take part in the discussion, to take notes, or just to listen.</p>
<p>• Here are some questions may want to ask the doctor: What are the chances that the treatment will be successful?<br />
• Would a clinical trial be appropriate for me?<br />
• What are the risks and possible side effects of each treatment?</p>
<p>Although the side effects of radiation therapy can be unpleasant, the doctor can usually treat or control them. It also helps to know that, in most cases, they are not permanent.<br />
number of white blood cells, cells that help protect the body against infection<br />
<strong>Chemotherapy</strong> —the side effects of chemotherapy depends mainly on the drugs and doses the patient receives. Generally, anticancer drugs affect cells that divide rapidly. These include blood cells, which fight infection, help the blood to clot, or carry oxygen to all parts of the body. When blood cells are affected by anticancer drugs, patients are more likely to get infections, may bruise or bleed easily, and may have less energy. Cells that line the digestive tract also divide rapidly. As a result of chemotherapy, patients may have side effects, such as loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, hair loss, or mouth sores. For some patients, the doctor may prescribe medicine to help with side effects, especially with nausea and vomiting. Usually, these side effects gradually go away during the recovery period or after treatment stops. Hair loss another side effect of chemotherapy, is a major concern for many patients. Some chemotherapy drugs only cause the hair to thin out, while others may result in the loss of all body hair. Patients may feel better if they decide how to handle hair loss before starting treatment.</p>
<p>In some men and women, chemotherapy drugs cause changes that may result in a loss of fertility (the ability to have children). Loss of fertility may be temporary or permanent depending on the drugs used and the patient&#8217;s age. For men, sperm banking before treatment may be a choice. Women&#8217;s menstrual periods may stop, and they may have hot flashes and vaginal dryness. Periods are more likely to return in young women. In some cases, bone marrow transplantation and peripheral stem cell support are used to replace tissue that forms blood cells when that tissue has been destroyed by the effects of chemotherapy or radiation therapy.</p>
<p><strong>Hormone Therapy</strong> &#8211;Hormone therapy can cause a number of side effects. Patients may have nausea and vomiting, swelling or weight gain, and, in some cases, hot flashes. In women, hormone therapy also may cause interrupted menstrual periods, vaginal dryness, and, sometimes, loss of fertility. Hormone therapy in men may cause impotence, loss of sexual desire, or loss of fertility. These changes may be temporary, long lasting, or permanent.</p>
<p>HOMOEOPATHIC TREATMENT/MEDICINES</p>
<p>CHELIDINIUM : It has also cured cancer of the stomach when in a ,vomiting for cancer of throat , mouth or stomach .</p>
<p><em>Condurango</em> : In cancer of oesophagus or stomach . There are many other medicines , only few have been mentioned</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cancer is a reaction to something that the body finds foreign. It is a <strong>RESULT</strong> of something, usually a chemical, toxin or even a viral invader that secretes toxins that your body eventually becomes overwhelmed by. There are may instances where we can point to an event and identify it as a cause of the cancer. If you look at Chernobyl or Hiroshima you can clearly see how the occurrences of cancer went through the roof as a result of an EXPOSURE to a toxic substance.</p>
<p>What I find fascinating though is that some people living in those areas <em>didn&#8217;t</em> get cancer.</p>
<p>Consider all of the people world wide who smoke tobacco. We know that inhaling toxins and tars from cigarettes, cigars and pipes causes an increase in lung, throat, mouth and tongue cancers, as well as some other internal cancers. It is also true, however, that many people who smoke do not succumb to cancer.</p>
<p>There are people in the world who, as a result of exposure to asbestos, have been overtaken by a rare form of lung cancer called mesothelioma, and yet we know without a doubt that exposure only <strong>increases your chances, </strong>and that some people who have the same exposure NEVER get mesothelioma at all.</p>
<p>I could list numerous examples where some people develop cancer and others do not. While we don&#8217;t know exactly why, we do know that some of us have the ability to fight off diseases including cancer.</p>
<p><span id="more-60"></span>If we can agree that cancers, at least some if not all of them, are caused by an exposure to toxins (chemicals, metals, or other substances that are not normal for our body&#8217;s immune system) then it would follow that by eliminating exposure to that toxin you could prevent the cancer. The problem is, most people who find &#8220;Cancer Can Be Beaten&#8221; already have breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer, bowel cancer or some other cancer in their body. It&#8217;s too late for prevention. You want to BEAT CANCER NOW.</p>
<p>What if I told you I&#8217;ve found a way to&#8230;.</p>
<p><strong>Eliminate The Toxins That Caused the Cancer.</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s not a pill, a capsule, a powder or a cream. It&#8217;s not a patch, a soak or a juice. It&#8217;s something you can put in your water and drink 4 times a day, and it will virtually eliminate ALL heavy metals, chemicals, nitrosamines, viral particles and a lot more, with no side effects. When you remove all the toxic waste that is bogging your body down, and clogging your system, all of a sudden your body starts working better. You have more energy, you sleep better, and your immune system gets to work beating those tumor cells back attacking your cancer.</p>
<p>In fact, the evidence regarding this natural cancer fighter is so strong (and so requested) that the famous <strong>Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center </strong>now has a page regarding this supplement&#8230; here is an excerpt from their page.</p>
<p>A few in vitro studies indicate that XXXXX inhibited protein kinase B; and induced expression of tumor suppressor proteins. In animal studies, XXXXX product was shown to reduce metastasis and increase the effect of doxorubicin due to its antioxidant property</p>
<p>You will be able to read more about this important supplement in the ebook &#8220;Cancer Can Be Beaten&#8221;.</p>
<p>Once you have the toxins removed with the important supplement mentioned above, the next step is to boost your immune function. Your body is very capable of fighting off this attack on it&#8217;s own. Your immune system was designed to do this job, and in fact cancer cells begin every day and are hastily removed by your natural killer cells. The fact that the cancer has been allowed to grow large enough to be detected means that your immune system has been a bit overwhelmed lately. Sometimes it is enough to just remove the chemicals and let the immune system recover, but sometimes the tumor cells have been gaining strength and speed. It&#8217;s time for you to help your immune system out if you want to beat cancer for good.</p>
<p>A general immune system booster is not necessarily the answer for you in this case. You need to boost the Natural Killer Cells.</p>
<p><em>Natural Killer (NK) cells are yet another type of lethal lymphocyte. Like cytotoxic T cells, they contain granules filled with potent chemicals. They are called &#8220;natural&#8221; killers because they, unlike cytotoxic T cells, do not need to recognize a specific antigen before swinging into action. They target tumor cells and protect against a wide variety of infectious microbes. In several immunodeficiency diseases, including AIDS, natural killer cell function is abnormal. Natural killer cells may also contribute to immunoregulation by secreting high levels of influential lymphokines. </em></p>
<p><em>Both cytotoxic T cells and natural killer cells kill on contact. The killer binds to its target, aims its weapons, and then delivers a lethal burst of chemicals that produces holes in the target cell&#8217;s membrane. Fluids seep in and leak out, and the cell bursts. source- Immune Central</em></p>
<p>What if I told you I have found an all natural organic and pure product that will&#8230;.<strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Increase the Numbers and Aggressiveness of the Natural Killer Cells</strong></p>
<p>Is that something that you could get excited about? These natural killer cells are a part of your own body&#8217;s defense system, that attach themselves to cancer cells, inject a potent toxic chemical mix into the invading cancer cell and cause it to burst. You need a product that is will give these cells the strength they need and you need more of them.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve found something that is 10 times stronger than anything you may be able to find to beat cancer, and I am going to tell you more about it. You will be able to read more about this important Natural Killer Cell Boosting supplement in the ebook &#8220;Cancer Can Be Beaten&#8221;.</p>
<p>To beat cancer effectively though, you need all of the help you can get. Much of that help is found in a cancer diet rich in foods that kill cancer cells, and proper drinking water to adequately hydrate your body. A cancer diet that is rich in cancer fighting compounds and nutrients is crucial. Would you be excited if I told you that I know&#8230;</p>
<p>That&#8217;s right. Nature has provided us with everything we need to stay healthy including foods that have the ability to kill cancer cells. Many people, when they get sick, are looking for a cancer diet that they can eat every day that will increase their odds of beating cancer, but also provide them with the nourishment and energy they need for this battle of their lives. I have outlined such a &#8220;Cancer Diet&#8221; for you in the ebook &#8220;Cancer Can Be Beaten&#8221;.</p>
<p>Aside from a general diet though, did you know that there are certain foods that have cancer fighting compounds in them naturally? These foods have been demonstrated in the lab, in animals and in humans to actually kill cancer or stop tumor growth. These foods are common enough that you can buy them inexpensively at your local grocery store year round. There is a strong possibility that you even have a few of them right in your refrigerator right now.</p>
<p>My next question is &#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Are You Drinking REAL Water?</strong></p>
<p>Now most people know by now how important alkalinity of the body is for health. Did you know, however, that cancer cells can not thrive in an alkaline environment? In the ebook &#8220;Cancer Can Be Beaten&#8221;, I will share with you how to increase the pH of your body fluids ever so slightly. This will give you the added boost that you need to Beat Cancer. This strategy will involve Drinking A SPECIAL water that will help to change your pH to a bit more alkaline. This special water costs pennies a day ( a month&#8217;s supply costs less than a meal for one at a good restaurant) This particular supplement is one almost no one even knows about yet. You&#8217;ll be one of the first.</p>
<p>The message in the ebook <a href="http://www.cancercanbebeaten.com" target="_blank">www.cancercanbebeaten.com</a> is clear. There are no miracle cures, but you absolutely CAN BEAT CANCER/a&gt; with these &#8216;based on science&#8217; cancer beating strategies.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cancer is the most harmful and severe disease in the world. It seriously threatens human life. This article will tell you what food can effectively kill the cancer cells in the body, so as to make you away from cancer.</p>
<p>Firstly, eggplant:<br />
More and more evidence shows that eggplant has an anti-cancer function. Researchers have extracted a non-toxic substance from eggplant, which can be used to treat stomach cancer and cervical cancer. In addition, eggplant contains many kinds of alkaloids, such as solanine, cucurbitacin, choline, and so on, in which solanine and cucurbitacin have been proved to have an anti-cancer ability. What&#8217;s more, eggplant also contains a large number of nutrients. The vitamins and minerals contained in eggplant are as much as that contained in tomato, and the amount of protein and calcium is even three times higher than that of tomato.<span id="more-2921"></span></p>
<p>Secondly, balsam pear:<br />
Western medicine has proved that, the anti-cancer effect of balsam pear comes from a kind of quinine protein, which can activate the activity of immune cells, and kill the cancer cells or other abnormal cells in the body. In addition, balsam pear seeds contain a kind of protease inhibitor, which can prevent the tumor cells secreting protease, thus inhibiting the invasion and metastasis of cancer cells.</p>
<p>Thirdly, kelp:<br />
Traditional Chinese medicine has pointed out that kelp can prevent breast cancer and thyroid cancer. It is well known that kelp contains a large number of iodine, which is very effective in the prevention of thyroid cancer. In fact, kelp also has many other effects. For example, it contains a large number of sodium alginate, which can combine with the carcinogenic strontium and cadmium, and expel them out of the body. Kelp can selectively kill or inhibit the bacteria which may produce carcinogens. What&#8217;s more, the dietary fibers contained in kelp also can promote the discharge of bile acid and cholesterol.</p>
<p>Fourthly, sweet potato:<br />
Sweet potato is considered to be a good food to eliminate diseases and prolong life, and it also plays an important role in reducing and promoting human health. In fact, sweet potato also has a powerful anti-cancer function. Recently, researchers have discovered a special chemical substance in sweet potato, which can prevent intestinal cancer and breast cancer.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s more, other foods such as pumpkin, wheat bran and radish also have anti-cancer effect. As a result, we can eat more of these foods in daily life, so as to make ourselves away from cancer.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The causes of cancer in general are classified into two categories. External risk factors come from the environment outside the human body, which include unhealthy habits such as smoking and bad diet. We can easily avoid these causes by adopting a healthier lifestyle such as eating healthy and maintaining regular exercise. On the other hand, internal risk factors include genetic mutations, which cannot be prevented. However, some efforts can be done to help us prevent and even treat cancer.</p>
<p>Some cancers are treatable, and there are many ways to treat them. There are conventional medical treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy. These kinds of treatment often come with side effects. On the other hand, there are also alternative treatments using natural substances. Many plants are considered to possess anti-cancer properties, and one of them is the Typhonium flagiliforme.</p>
<p>Typhonium flagiliforme is the scientific name for the plant which is locally known as the Rodent Tuber. This plant belongs to the Araceae family and it can only grow up to 25-30 cm. It is usually found in South East Asia, and grows in a humid habitat, away from sunlight. Its leaves are green and have spade-shaped like betel leaves. The rodent tuber has been proven to cure various types of cancer such as breast cancer, colon cancer, rectal cancer, leukemia, prostate cancer, cervical cancer and lung cancer.<span id="more-2864"></span></p>
<p>Scientifically, the leaves of the rodent tuber have three major substances that have anti-cancer properties. First, ribosome inactivating protein which weakens cancer cells, thus inhibiting their growth. Second, antioxidant agent which protects our body from free radicals. Last but not least, curcumin which has anti-inflammatory properties. The combination of these substances helps maintain a strong immune system to fight against cancer cells.</p>
<p>The rodent tuber is an affordable alternative cancer treatment and it has no known adverse effects. This plant also reduces the side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and helps cancer patients recover faster. It should be grown organically, without the addition of harmful chemical fertilizers or pesticides.</p>
<p>The rodent tuber does not only benefit cancer patients, but it also benefits cancer specialists, herbal practitioners and pharmacists. This multi-purpose plant also used to provide relief from cough and asthma, and to cure hemorrhoid as well. Other usages of the rodent tuber are for detoxification, to get rid of boils and pus, heal vaginal discharge, reduce swelling, stop bleeding, ease pain, clean up the digestive system and improve health.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Bill Henderson cancer treatment program guide or deal is touching, as he has been a victim for many years in addition to losing his wife to ovarian cancer. Owing to this awful experience and longtime struggle with the killer disease, he decided to come up with alternative ways of treatment that can possibly see the demise of this disease. Consequently, this led him to discovering the protocol that contains several ingredients among them beta glucan which is cheap to buy, thus guaranteeing even the financially unstable patients a chance of enjoying this alternative treatment. The protocol involves Bill Henderson coaching service that caters for those patients who have dangerous types of the disease and which are in the pronounced stages. Once used by patients, this alternative treatment gives them advanced hope for surviving.</p>
<p>Contains Sophisticated Characteristics:</p>
<p>Whether dealing with him directly over the phone, in person or by buying his book then one is bound to realize the many sophisticated characteristics that this protocol comes with. These characteristics make it an appropriate cure for cancer and it is usually gentle in the way it works. To start with, there is the cancer diet which is a very active element of this alternative treatment and is well designed to ensure it does not promote the development of the dangerous cancer cells. The diet plays a very important role in the cure of the disease thus a patient must learn to go by it to avoid interfering with the treatment process.<span id="more-2763"></span></p>
<p>The diet has high contents of beta glucan which reduces the blood sugar levels thus creating an alkaline environment in the body. Since this is not good for the cancer cells to thrive it underlines the importance of the cancer diet in treating the disease. Another sophisticated characteristic of this alternative treatment is that it tries to buy time for the patient and ensure he or she lives for long. Even without seeking other treatments this diet provides for more time to cure the disease with a gentle treatment thus it is very effective and fast</p>
<p>Immune Building Products To Choose From:</p>
<p>This alternative treatment for cancer has many products that help in making the immune system of a patient more strong and resistant to the effects of the cancer cells. The chemotherapy that a patient undergoes through usually leave the immune system seriously damaged thus these products are very vital in rebuilding it and a patient can choose the appropriate one from the many that are available. They can however be very effective on those patients who have not gone through the chemotherapy but the most important thing to note is that it will after all work effectively. With beta glucan and other vital requirements, this is probably one of the best alternatives that a patient can use to cure the killer disease and it promises not to come with frustrations.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://betterwayhealth.com/" target="_blank">Bill Henderson cancer</a> alternative treatment is surely the best option in curing the disease since it has high levels of beta glucan which every patient needs to have a try.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Each year hundreds of thousands of people find themselves victim to some form of cancer. Caused by either environmental toxins or genetic disorders, the occurrence of cancer has risen in recent years. A report created by the National Institute of Health estimated the overall cost of cancer to be $263.8 billion in medical costs. This includes direct medical costs, morbidity costs, and indirect mortality costs. Since all forms of standard cancer treatment are incredibly invasive (chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery) and plagued with side effects, alternate methods of treatment are always being sought after. One exciting new option is treatment with Vitamin E tocotrienols. Several initial studies have been conducted showing the potential for this vitamin in future cancer treatment plans.</p>
<p>Tumor Growth</p>
<p>In order for a tumor to grow beyond 1 to 2 mm in diameter, it needs some sort of independent blood supply. Without this, the cancer tumor cannot spread and tumor growth stops. The creation of new blood vessels is termed angiogenesis. Tumors are able to release growth factors that initiate angiogenesis which causes existing blood vessels to create new &#8216;branches&#8217; that supplies the tumor with a blood supply.<span id="more-2778"></span></p>
<p>Studies have shown that one of the mechanisms in which tocotrienols uses to prevent cancer metastasis is angiogenesis inhibition. Delta- and gamma- tocotrienols are especially powerful in this respect. The other form of vitamin E, tocopherols, do not show this ability.</p>
<p>Breast Cancer</p>
<p>Breast cancer ranks second as the cause of cancer death in women. Each year an estimated 275,000 new cases and approximately 41,000 deaths occur in the United States. Standard breast cancer treatment involves the drug, Tamoxifen. Tamoxifen is a widely used hormone therapy. Although quite beneficial in treating breast cancer, tamoxifen does have its inherent risks. Long term treatment with the drug increases a woman&#8217;s chance (albeit a rare chance) of developing serious health problems: endometrial cancer, blot clot in the lungs, and blood clot in major veins.</p>
<p>Several studies have been done on tocotrienols ability to treat breast cancer. A 1998 publication in the Journal of Nutrition and Cancer confirmed that delta-tocotrienols are capable of inducing cell apoptosis (cell death). Another study published in the journal BMC Cancer showed that gamma-tocotrienols in conjuncture with anti-cancer drugs reduce breast cancer cell growth in mouse breast cancer cells in culture. Yet another study showed that gamma-tocotrienols were able to prevent an implanted tumor from taking hold in a mouse specimen.</p>
<p>Prostate Cancer</p>
<p>Prostate cancer is most commonly diagnosed cancer among men in the United States and the third most common cause of cancer death among men. Research done by Davos Life Science, researchers at Australian Prostate Cancer Research Center, and Hong Kong University showed that gamma-tocotrienols not only reduced tumour size, but also decreased the incidence rate of tumor formation by 75%. They compared this to a control group of mice, which had 100% tumor formation. This study is important because prostate cancer stem cells (the precursor to the cancer tumor) is resistant to conventional chemotherapy drugs and thus very difficult to manage.</p>
<p>Pancreatic Cancer</p>
<p>Pancreatic Cancer causes 30,000 deaths per year in the United States. Pancreatic Cancer is a very potent cancer, with fewer than 5% of those diagnosed still alive five years after diagnosis. It is very rare and fortuitous for a complete remission of the disease to occur.</p>
<p>An animal study done by researchers at MD Anderson Cancer Center have shows that combining gamma-tocotrienol with chemotherapy boosted the effectiveness of the drug in dealing with the tumor. In prostate cancer, the protein complex NF-KappB is hijacked by the cancer cell. NF-KappB normally controls our cellular response to stress and plays a key role in regulating the immune system. Once the tumor takes over NF-kappB it starts using its same mechanisms to defend itself. Drugs that can selectively target NF-kappB would be too toxic for our health. The only other available alternative for dealing with the tumor is with nutrition. Tocotrienols can differentiate between a cancer cell and a normal cell and thus alter NF-kappB accordingly.</p>
<p>A partial reason tocotrienols are effective against pancreatic cancer is because it can accumulate in the pancreas 10x more than in other parts of the body such as the liver or even the tumor itself. Despite this accumulation, a study in mice was done to show that no observed toxicity or side effects occurred from delta-tocotrienol administration.</p>
<p>Other Cancers</p>
<p>Palm oil tocotrienol reduced cervical cancer in vitro. An in vivo and in vitro study showed suppresion of liver and lung carcinogenesis in mice. Gamma- and delta-tocotrienols were also shown to inhibit melanoma cancer cells in vitro.</p>
<p>Closing thoughts</p>
<p>The potential for tocotrienols to act as a natural source to deal with cancer is very exciting. Of course, more human studies need to be done before they become a standard form of treatment. One last thing to note is that a multimillion dollar grant by the National Cancer Institute was recently awarded to the Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute to conduct clinical trials on tocotrienols&#8217; effect on pancreatic cancer.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cancer is one of the most dreaded diseases in the western world. It tends to rob the lives not only of the elderly, but the young people as well. Chemotherapy and radiation are common treatments, however, the side effects can be devastating for the individual and therefore, many are turning to alternative therapies.</p>
<p>Reishi mushroom is one of the remedies in alternative therapy that can help fight cancer. In addition, the medicinal mushroom is available in a supplement form, which can be taken in conjunction with conventional cancer treatments to lessen the side effects.<span id="more-2743"></span></p>
<p>Prevents Further Spreading</p>
<p>Cancer begins with a small tumor, which then grows as it gains more strength. Reishi has been shown to effectively halt the cells from duplication, and thereby stop the spreading of the cancer into other parts of the body. Research has shown that Reishi can cause the cancer cells to commit suicide in prostate and lung cancers.</p>
<p>Builds Up The Immune System</p>
<p>Reishi mushrooms have shown to be very effective in building up the immune system, which in turn can help in fighting cancer. The immune system is often weakened by an overload of toxins and other harmful substances. Reishi contains powerful antioxidants that are effective in removing those substances, so that the immune system can make a full recovery, and thereby stop the spreading of cancer.</p>
<p>Reduces Symptoms of Conventional Treatments</p>
<p>Cancer patients receiving conventional treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation in most cases suffer from side effects such as hair loss, loss of appetite, fatigue and infections. When Reishi is taken in combination with the conventional treatments, however, the negative side effects can be reduced. It can also help to reduce pain, and improve the quality of life for the patients.</p>
<p>Reishi has been shown to be effective against liver cancer, breast cancer, prostate and lung cancers. However, it is a strong herbal remedy which can have mild side effects when taken regularly for more than three months. Therefore, after three months, it should be stopped for a month before continuing to take it again in order to avoid the side effects. The side effects include an upset stomach, dizzy spells, dryness in the mouth and throat, as well as itching.</p>
<p>Women who are pregnant or nursing should speak to their doctor before taking Reishi. Those who are allergic to mushrooms, are also advised not to take Reishi, unless otherwise instructed by a physician.</p>
