Cancer-lethal misconceptions accelerate the demise to the patient. The most damage comes from the front line treatments, and lack of understanding of this condition.

Cancer Treatment-Impairment of the Body’s Defense System

Cancer treatment-impairment of the body’s defense system is recognized by conventional physicians. However, the standard medical protocol still stands.

Cancer surgery wreaks havoc on a body’s immune system. It is a major stress, and about half of those who undergo surgery for tumor removal will experience a recurrence of cancer. This will be in the same location or in another part of the body.

Modern Medicines Solution

Surgery                                          

A new clinical approach is being developed and tested by Tel Aviv University researcher Prof. Shamgar Ben-Ellyahu, head of Tel Aviv University”s Department of psychology.

Prof. Ben-Eliyahu and others have confirmed that a competent immune system is critical before, during and after surgery for tumor removal. A stress response of the body during this period jeopardizes the immune response, and does in fact facilitate metastasis.

Again the researches will rely on drugs that could block the influence of these hormones, helping the body deal with the stresses of surgery.

In the upcoming trial, Prof. Ben-Eliyahu will boost patients’ immune systems with his drug cocktail over a 20-day period, before, during and after surgery. The two compounds to be used in the study are a beta-adrenergic antagonist, which is used to treat hypertension and anxiety, and a Cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor, used against inflammation and pain. Since the two drugs are already widely available and routinely used in the clinical setting, no patents need be filed for the application of these drugs. 

 Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy drugs have potentially taken a toll on the hospital and clinic workers who handle them. A study from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, 10 years in the making and the largest to date, confirms that chemo continues to be found in the urine of those that handle it.

Danish epidemiologists used cancer registry data from the 1940s through the late 1980s to report a significantly increased risk of leukemia among oncology nurses and physicians. Last year, another Danish study of more than 92,000 nurses found an elevated risk for breast, thyroid, nervous system and brain cancers in the nursing population.

Karen Lewis knew what the possibilities were when a routine medical exam returned an abnormal white blood cell count on her four years ago. “I worked in a cancer center,” she said. “I knew.”

A long-time hospital pharmacist, 57, was diagnosed with a pre-cancerous blood disease called myelodysplastic syndrome. Her doctor immediately ordered her to stop working with or around chemo agents.

Lewis has begun transfusions to try to keep her cell counts normal. Ultimately, her only hope for a cure lies in a bone marrow transplant. She advises others to be vigilant about cancer screening if they’ve worked with chemo.

“Now, since I left, everybody who works with chemo has to have a blood test once a year and urinalysis,” she said. “Maybe that was my contribution.”

Chemo sounds like a good conservative treatment for people with a compromised immune system. The adage do not harm seems to have gone out of the window.

Radiation

Radiation causes cancer, what is the main stream medical profession missing on the war on cancer. Secondary malignancies are cancer caused by treatment with radiation or chemotherapy.  They are considered unrelated to the first cancer that was treated.

Maybe this endeavor should be called the war for cancer. This has a truer ring to it.

Now What?         

Medical intervention always attempts to remove or manage symptoms of any disease. For the most part they disregard the cause. Modern cancer treatment doesn’t have the wonderful record that is sometimes reported.

It really isn’t back to square one, there is plenty of information available on how and why this condition occurs, and what it takes to turn it around. This is not a disease in the true sense of the word. Most conditions are a product of nutritional deficiencies, physical and emotional stress, environmental toxins, and hormonal balance.

Check this out and see the other possibilities.

A recent study was conducted in Norway to determine if the increasing rate of breast cancer detection actually produces a reduction in cancer risk. One group of women was studied for six years by biennial mammograms and a comparison group of the same ages (50-64) was examined by a single mammogram at the beginning of the biennial program. Data on invasive breast cancer detection was obtained for both groups from the Norwegian Cancer Registry. The more frequently screened group showed 22% more cancers over the six years than the group with a single mammogram at the end of six years. The researchers concluded that with more frequent screening, approximately one fifth of the tumors that would naturally regress on their own end up being treated.

BACK PAIN

There aren’t many patients aware that for back pain natural solutions work better than pharmaceuticals. The feeling among many people who experience chronic back pain is that they are destined to be dependent on medication for a long time.

INFLAMMATION

Back pain is sometimes a symptom of chronic inflammation, or added pressure on the spine from extra weight. It is known that weight gain results in increased pressure to the spin. The heavier you are the greater the impact on the spine. It can cause degenerative changes in the vertebral column. This extra pressure can increase your risk of herniated disc, degenerative disks, and back strain. Weight puts extra pressure on the spine and over time their may be a wearing away of the disk, which increases your risk of a herniated disc-related sciatica.

OBESITY

It comes as no surprise that obesity can be a co-factor in the development of osteoarthritis in the spine. A well known fact is that when people lose weight, pain from OA diminishes. A large belly can pull your pelvis forward and increase the curve in your lower back. Children are not immune from some of these problems if they pack on too many pounds. Obesity affects the joints in children and may keep them from being active.

NATURAL SOLUTIONS

Natural solutions help by recognizing that the underlying structural foundation for both the spine and joints can be helped by both weight losses along with potent nutrients. Anti-inflammatory such as Omega 3, and Curcumin, and crucial sulfur compounds such as (msm), Glucosamine for joints are a natural approach. The first step is taking control of your body weight.

By conditioning the muscles that support the vertebrae you naturally increase the range of movement and functionality in the torso and spine. Nutrients can alleviant painful conditions, by modulating chronic inflammation. These are not quick fixes as they generally take a period of weeks to a few months, but they affect the underlying condition which the drugs are not capable of.

Nuts and seed oils, as well as fish oil, contain essential fatty acids which are converted to Prostaglandins, and these act as anti-inflammatory agents. Almonds, walnuts, and peanuts are high in magnesium which maintains muscle tone among other benefits. Chronic back pain is often related to abdominal muscle tone. A diet high in raw vegetables and fruits, and wholegrain provide the nutrients need to support muscle and nerve health.

Calcium and magnesium help alleviate muscle spasm, bioflavonoid, and vitamins C and E is useful for alleviating disk injuries. Back pain has natural solutions, which are easy on your stomach, good for your general health, and do not become additive.
