Stress and worry created by a childhood cancer diagnosis can increase with financial concerns. The impact on a family can create a financial burden that cannot be anticipated. Parents of children with cancer might experience a sharp decrease or loss of income, an increase in medical and personal expenses such as food, travel and lodging away from home, and inadequate insurance coverage that can create a significant financial strain.

Studies show that even families with full health insurance will spend 25 percent or more of their income on co-payments. Severe difficulties face families with no or little insurance. However, local and national organizations are available to help with a variety of resources so that major hardships might be avoided (more…)

Ever since Cancer has been around, there have been people who have been researching to find its cure. Dr. Tullio Simoncini is one person who has advanced the knowledge, theories, and cures behind all types of cancer for many decades. Here is some information on Dr. Simoncini, and his efforts to find a cure for leukemia.

One of Dr. Simoncini’s famous theories involves the use of sodium bicarbonate. The most common form of this chemical compound can be found in baking soda. And although modern medicines have replaced baking soda for many people, it is a common fact that baking soda can work as an antacid for stomach relief. Baking soda can also be used to help with bladder infections, and kidney disorders.

Simoncini believes that baking soda, or sodium bicarbonate can also be used as a cure for leukemia. This is based on his theory that cancer is a fungus. Many people disagree with Simoncini’s terminology, and classifying cancer as a fungus, but it is hard to argue with his results. (more…)

Oncologists are one is saying that brain cancer is the most fatal of all cancer types.  Once diagnosed, the prognosis for remission is almost always nil.  For sure there have been documented cases of remission as in most other cancer types.  But they remain a negligible statistical minority.

Brain cancer or brain tumor is medically referred to as intracranial solid neoplasm, whether within the brain or central spinal canal.  There are various classifications such as primary (originating in the brain) or secondary (metastasized from cancers in other organs) and can either be benign or malignant.

And among malignant types, there’s Glioblastoma multiforme which is the deadliest with a 12-18 month prognosis, while Oligodendrogliomas is an incurable progressive type that can last for 12 years before death occurs.

Treating Brain Tumors

A subtype of brain cancer occurring in the Medulla oblongata called Medulloblastoma has a promising prognosis for remission with chemotherapy, radiotherapy or surgery.  But for the other types, most patients will die within a year of diagnosis even with the conventional cancer treatment mentioned.

Here are the top recommended anti-cancer foods:

Greens – Spinach, chard, collard, turnip and a whole family of green leafy vegetables are rich in antioxidants that protect your body’s cell structure from damage caused by ‘free radical’ cells that can cause cellular mutation and lead to cancer. One study gave spinach the top ranking of vegetables for its ability to protect against cancer. Try and eat spinach or any one from the family of green, leafy vegetables daily. They are very versatile. Hate cooked spinach? Kale and chard to bitter? Try adding just a few leaves to a salad, sauté lightly with olive oil and garlic, add to soups and stews…it really is easy to get a healthy helping without being “Popeye”

Garlic – Garlic is full of a compound called allicin. Chopping, slicing or dicing a fresh clove of garlic causes this compound to undergo an amazing chemical change. All of these chemicals function as antioxidants that prevent many types of cell mutations that can be the beginning of a cancerous cell. Study continues but points to evidence that in addition to cancer, garlic can aid in the prevention of cancers of the prostate, kidneys, ovaries, larynx, esophagus, prostate and colon. The best way to consume garlic, especially if you not a big fan of the strong flavor is to slowly bake or roast with it. Cooking appears to increase its potency and effect and long cooking reduces the strong flavor into a sweet, smoky flavor. There really is no set amount to consume…just eat as much as you can daily. And if the flavor is just not something you can learn to like, there are a number of pure garlic supplements that will allow you to consume garlic without feeling ‘vampire-proof’.

To keep bladder infection away it is important know about the infection, how it causes, risk factors involved into it and symptoms and treatment. The infection usually is the result of Urinary tract infection (UTI), which can attack any part of the urinary tract. It can be the uterus, urethra, the bladder, or kidneys. The infection in bladder is known as bladder infection and is most common among other UTI diseases.

People in risk zone

There are few people who are more prone to bladder infections, also known as cystitis. Of them women are commonly affected compared to men as they have shorter urethra and is closer to the anus. Furthermore women going through menopause, under going pregnancy or using diaphragm for birth control are mostly affected with this infection. However, men with prostate inflammation or enlargement are more likely to catch UTI. Other reasons that might increase the risk level in both the genders are:

* Kidney stones
* Sexual intercourse with multiple partners
* Narrowed urethra
* Immobility such as recovering from hip fracture
* Not drinking enough fluids
* Bowel incontinence and catheterization
* Elderly people or people with diabetes (more…)

Cancer is still one of the most prevalent killers in our society.  The medical field has made giant strides in fighting this disease, but there are things that we can do as individuals to help our bodies fight off cancer.

1. Eat colorful foods.  Basically you should eat plenty of fruits and vegetables of all colors—red, green, yellow and orange. A colorful variety of fruits and vegetables contain anti-oxidants that fight cancer.  You should try to eat at least five servings per day.
2. Have fewer/safer x-rays.  If you have to have an x-ray in your dentist’s office, ask if they have the capability to do digital x-rays which contain 75% less radiation than traditional x-rays.  Also, try not to have an excessive number of MRI’s or CAT scans, which have also been linked to cancer.
3. Avoid cigarette smoke.  If you don’t smoke, then don’t start.  Also, stay away from second-hand smoke as much as you can.  Cigarette smoke contains more than 60 toxins which put you at risk for a variety of cancers, including lungs, mouth, throat, pancreas and breast. (more…)

If you are reading this article, you probably have malignant melanoma, and are hoping for some new possible treatment option, that you can use. There has been a lot of research in this are lately, and a new possible natural cure can be applied, which has a chance of putting the melanoma cancer into remission, and getting rid of the cancer.

“The People” have had enough apparently!

An “insider” revealed today that the “World of Medicine” is scamming people – and even worse: with the help of “law-makers!”

It seems that “money” (as usual) has blinded doctors and medical practitioners to the degree that they are now willingly *suppressing* the truth regarding cancer – its control, management, and even its cure!

That’s right: “cure!”

And what should shock you even more:

It seems that it’s against the law to say the word “cure” when describing anything that actually cures you.

Yet it’s very much okay to say that something “treats” or helps “offset” the symptoms of some health condition or disease.

But if you say “cure” (and even including when you in fact have a real and bona fide cure for something and can even prove it!) you can get arrested.

Ever wonder why we have a “healthcare” industry and not a “healthcure” industry? (more…)

If you are looking for a malignant melanoma treatment, you may want to do some research, before actually starting chemotherapy, or other harmful procedures, which are designed to kill the weakest cells in the body. Those kind of malignant melanoma treatment is not advised, although it is the standard norm – people usually start doing it, because everyone else is too. That is not a good way to think. (more…)
