There is no mystery to cancer, it is simply a result of the way we now live which weakens our immune system and allows normal body cells to mutate or divide without control. The way we now live has changed, especially with the food we now eat and that’s why there is so much cancer. At present it is only a problem in the western developed world but is increasing rapidly in undeveloped countries as they become more affluent.

We don’t have a cure for cancer today but only treatments and these treatments have many faults. Also we are kept totally ignorant about the causes and most doctors don’t know the causes.

Radiation side effects are often the result of what we call radiation therapy or simply radiotherapy. It is the use of ionizing radiation to treat cancer or control the spread of cancer cells. Combined with surgery, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or hormone therapy, radiotherapy becomes more effective. In some way, most common cancer types can be treated with radiotherapy.

The therapy works by damaging the cancerous cells’ DNA or Deoxyribonucleic Acid caused by photon. Due to cell mechanism of repairing damaged DNA with a single-strand, then double-stranded breaks are being undertaken to cause the death of cells. This technique, long time since, has been proven.

So, you have been to the doctor and got the dreaded diagnosis – the Big C! The world as you know it just ended and a new chapter has started, but how do you deal with it?

At the doctors office we are only given three choices, surgery, radiation and chemotherapy (chemo). What if that does not suit and you feel deep down that it is not the way for you to go. Some feel comfortable going along with these conventional methods and some need to find something else. All of us are different and what suits one does not necessarily suit another. Most doctors know nothing about natural healing for cancer and have little patience for people who want to do it that way, so basically we are on our own and have to educate ourselves by researching the options available to us. We need to feel comfortable so that we can choose our preferred treatment without threats or criticism. Continue reading ‘Alternative Healing for Cancer? Or Surgery, Radiation and Chemotherapy?’ »

Rudolf Breuss was an educated man from Austria who had an innate understanding of the human body and a love for humanity. He turned his attention to finding an alternative, gentle treatment for cancer and other diseases because conventional treatments were invasive and not often successful.

Normal mainstream treatment following a cancer diagnosis is surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. Some of these treatments are successful if the cancer is caught early but the success rate for these same treatments for advanced cancer is virtually nil as statistics show that only 2-3% of people get any benefit from chemotherapy. It puts the argument forward that advanced cancer should be treated differently.

Cancer is a disease of total toxicity. Look at what we are exposed to on a daily basis. Air pollution, water pollution, pesticides and insecticides on all commercially produced food, refined foods, preservatives, chemicals and food colourings. The human body was not designed for this build-up of artificial poisonous substances, cannot deal with them and so they accumulate in the system and that is the reason for illness.

Suppose you could only hear two words. Which one solitary phrase would you prefer?

When I was fresh and young and waited anxiously to be “Grown Up”; days extended for weeks, years fossilized agonizingly into forevers, and the sight of shiny, wrapped, sparkling presents covering the kitchen table, illuminated by the glow of candles on a brightly colored cake, brought two joyful words: “Happy Birthday.”

Years paraded onward until hours were crammed with binders, book covers, and ballpoint pens. Forcing my head from the soft pillow each weekday morning via the nasty braying of an alarm, I stared impatiently at the oversized, featureless, inhumane, institutional school clock as it clunked sloth-like, minute by minute, until the end of my annual imprisonment. I longed to fill my ears with the sounds of: “Summer Vacation.”

The phrases that bring joy change with life’s seasons. Education’s victory lap culminates in “College Graduate.” Career searches terminate with the contracted: “You’re Hired.”

Expressions of elation come from all places. Upon ratcheting up my courage enough to ask her to share her life, my love blessed me with, “I Will,” which became – declared in front of friends and family – “I Do.” Continue reading ‘The Two Best Words in the English Language: How a Battle With Cancer Caused Intense Joy’ »

The male sexual health is not complete without the prostate gland – it is very important. The storage of milky or white fluid called semen is a major function of the prostate gland.
