Homeopathy For Cancer
Homeopathy for the treatment of cancer is one of the many alternative forms of treatment for any form of cancer. Homeopathy uses dilutions of substances from nature to stimulate a healing response from the patients body. These dilutions are known as remedies. For thousands of years, humans have used nature to cure all types of ailments. We all know nearly instinctively that hot lemon and honey drinks help relieve a cold or flu. The best supporting treatment for homeopathic remedies is hypnosis. Why? Because without the right mindset, any treatment for cancer will be nearly useless. Including the use of Homeopathy for cancer.
With the 'right' negative thinking it is possible to defeat any treatment given to you. Your negative defeatist attitudes go a long way in destroying any good that your doctors and other health care professionals are doing for you. Hypnosis can help to change your attitude. It can help keep you positive and keep you in the right frame of mind which will actually help the treatments you are given work rather then hinder them. No doubt when you're diagnosed with a dis-ease like cancer that the wind gets knocked out of your sails and that you will feel miserable. You will come here on the internet looking to learn a bit about your dis-ease and its treatment as well as a host of alternative 'cures' such as Homeopathy for cancer.
Any search for alternative natural cancer cures on the internet will return a lot of results as well as return a lot of rubbish. I am the kind of person to think that no matter what the problem, lets throw everything at it. Have my team of doctors performing western style medicine, visit my acupuncturist and homeopathy specialist regularly and every moment of the day work on myself and leaving nothing to chance. You can definitely heal yourself naturally, even with dis-eases such as cancer.
A hypnosis download can be used in the privacy of your own home. The best thing is that you can use it over and over to achieve its maximum benefit and potency. There are mp3 hypnosis download sessions especially created for cancer patients and assist with staying positive and helping to get through your treatments. As well there are many other downloads that can assist a cancer patient with relaxation and assistance to sleep better and more deeply. Homeopathy for Cancer is a brilliant additional treatment to your doctors therapy and hypnosis can help you win the battle much easier and with a better frame of mind.

Health Supplements are Increasingly Involved With Cancer Natural Treatment and Prevention
Health Supplements are Increasingly Involved With Cancer Natural Treatment and Prevention
Health supplements for preventing cancer and natural cancer treatment
There is no known single magic cure for cancer so the best advice is to do everything you possibly can to prevent cancer in the first place.
Supplementing with all 90 essential nutrients is an excellent cancer natural treatment and will ensure that your immune system is supported and your body is maintained in optimal health. For extra protection against cancer the following is a list of health supplements you should consider:
Selenium
Selenium is the king of all antioxidants and is reported to be one of the most powerful antioxidant minerals in the fight against cancer, according to Dr Gerhard Schrauzer, world authority on trace mineral research and nutrition. It is an essential cancer natural treatment.
An article in the Journal of the American Medical Association backs up this finding and also reports the benefits of selenium in lowering the incidence of a number of types of cancers. Also new evidence suggests that increasing levels of selenium in the diet can protect also against damaging rays from the sun.
Recently the US FDA upheld a claim by the nutritional company American Longevity to allow the health claim that selenium may reduce the risk of certain cancers and that selenium may produce anti-carcinogenic effects in the body.
A good Selenium antioxidant supplement should be the top of your list for a cancer natural treatment.
Lycopene
Lycopene is a recently discovered natural fat soluble pigment found in plants that can function in cancer natural treatment and prevention. The major food sources of lycopene are raw red or pink grapefruit, raw watermelon, and raw and processed food products containing tomatoes. Recently (November 2005) the U.S. FDA upheld a health claim that Tomatoes and tomato-based products containing Lycopene may prevent certain forms of cancer. To read more about this you could go to the FDA website.
Antioxidant Vitamins
Significant and extensive research has been carried out on antioxidant vitamins such as Vitamin A and Vitamin C. The US FDA has approved the health claim, that the consumption of antioxidant vitamins may reduce the risk of certain kinds of cancer.
The best form of vitamin supplements is in liquid form - anyone suffering cancer or recovering from treatment may find absorption of food quite difficult and in these circumstances, liquids will always work best.
Green Tea
Green tea has been linked for some time to strong, anti-cancer effects. It is known that the tea's anti-oxidants properties could fight harmful key molecules that cause cancer. [The Japanese have one of the lowest incidences of cancer in the world and much research is underway to further show how green tea can be used as a natural cancer treatment.] A great deal of scientific evidence suggests that consumption of green tea and green tea extract may reduce the risk of gastric cancer and certain forms of cancer.
While the Japanese seem to like Green Tea, for many of us it is a little 'hard to swallow'. In this case, a supplement containing Green Tea may be of enormous benefit.
Fiber
Consumption of fiber may reduce the risk of colorectal cancer and is an excellent and easily consumed cancer natural treatment. Gastrointestinal cancers are the second leading cause of death among all cancer patients. There are hundreds of reliable and competent scientific studies to suggest that consumption of about 25 - 30 grams daily of dietary fiber will reduce the risk of colorectal cancer.
Most people don't consume nearly enough fiber and that's why fiber supplements should be added so that you get the adequate protection.
Shark Cartilage
Shark cartilage is another natural supplement that can help stop the formation of new cancer growths and is often contained in good quality multi-mineral and multi-vitamin complexes.
According to Naturopath and health and longevity expert, Dr Joel Wallach, shark cartilage and shark liver oil have substances that stop the formation of capillaries that feed cancer cells when they spread.
Although this is not accepted as a cancer natural treatment by conventional oncologists, Dr Wallach points out that Harvard and Yale Medical Schools have 25 years of research proving this to be the case. Dr Wallach recommends using shark cartilage at 70 grams per day if you have cancer.
Folic Acid
Folic acid may reduce the risk of breast cancer, can help prevent the horrible birth defect called spina bifida and may also help prevent a deadly childhood cancer, called neuroblastoma, in which the child is born with tumor cells, according to Canadian researchers. It's been known for some time that women intending to become pregnant should take folic acid supplements and this research gives women even more reason to take them.
Soy Eating soy may stop prostate cancer. One of the main molecules (called an isoflavone) found abundantly in soy beans stops the male hormone which stimulates prostate growth. Several studies have suggested that eating soy reduces the risk of prostate cancer and a great deal of research is underway on the benefits of soy in reducing the risk of other types of cancers including breast and colon.
Diet and Lifestyle . . . for Cancer Natural Treatment
• In terms of diet for both natural prevention and treatment of cancer, you should limit your diet to fresh food, organic if possible - nothing processed.
Eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables which are high in antioxidants such as beta-carotene (vitamin A), and vitamin C and E. Tomatoes are particularly good as a cancer natural treatment food due to the lycopene they contain
• Cruciferous vegetables have excellent cancer-fighting properties. Research suggests that cruciferous vegetables contain phyto-chemicals which stimulate our bodies to break down potential carcinogens and work by preventing the transformation of normal health cells in to cancerous cells. Cruciferous vegetables are linked to lower cancer risk (prostate, bladder, colon, liver, lung) and include: broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, kale
• Avoid fried foods, margarines, heated oils, burned animal fat and any other burned food (vegetable oil when heated and burned animal fat are basically carcinogenic).
• No alcohol and no cigarettes and no carbonated drinks. Research indicates that high acidity in your system provides a fertile ground for cancer cells to grow - we should strive to maintain an alkaline system.
• Drink eight glasses of water a day. Detoxify your system monthly by doing a liver flush.
• Protect yourself from strong sunlight
• Stay in tune with your body - monitor anything unusual - e.g. unusual lumps, ulcers, bleeding, extended diarrhoea, pain, change in urination or bowel habit, or moles that change in shape, colour, size. All of these factors can help prevent cancer.

Green Tea Helps With Cancer Treatment
Green Tea Helps With Cancer Treatment
One of the biggest health concerns most people have today is preventing cancer. Incidences of cancer and in the cancer mortality rate in the United States have risen each year for the last fifty. The age-adjusted cancer mortality rate in 1930 was 143 per 100,000 members of the population, but by 1990, it had risen to 174 per 100,000 in 1990.
Medical technology has come along way in treating this insidious disease, but we still don't appear to know a great deal about preventing many types of cancer. And, even with the treatments that we do have, 300 people in the United States die from cancer every single day.
Many of our country's deaths from cancer are completely preventable. For example, about 90 percent of the one million skin cancers in the United States that were diagnosed in 2005 could have been prevented by protection from sun. The American Cancer Society estimates that in 2006 about 170,000 lives will be lost to cancer because of tobacco use, so these too are completely preventable.
However, there are many other cancers that we cannot prevent, in part because we don't know what causes them. But, there may be a product already in your cupboard that can help prevent, or even treat, cancer. Over the past several years, medical science has begun to scientifically prove out what Asian culture seems to have known for years; tea, particularly green tea is effective in preserving health.
The Chinese have used green tea for centuries to treat everything from headaches to depression. One of the most significant health benefits that green tea appears to provide is prevention against certain types of cancer. But, the studies are getting even more promising. It looks as though green tea can be an effective treatment for certain types of cancer, too.
Tea comes from the Camellia sinensis plant. Therefore, what we refer to as "herb tea" is not really tea at all, but rather an herbal infusion. There are many different types of tea; most of the differences come from the way the tea is processed.
Tea leaves naturally contain catechins. Catechins belong to the flavan-3-ol class of flavonoids. EGCG is one of the many catechins contained in tea, and is considered to be the most powerful anti-oxidant in tea leaves.
Fermenting the tea leaves, which is part of processing tea leaves for black tea, converts these catechins to other compounds and reduces their health benefits. Therefore, green tea, because it is not fermented, retains more of its original anti-oxidants than black tea. Scientists have discovered that tea is healthy primarily because of these anti-oxidants.
Each day, as we convert the foods we eat into energy, we create free radicals in our body. These free radicals are oxygen containing molecules that can damage our cells and our DNA if we don't combat them. It is believed that unchecked free radicals contribute to the development of cancer.
Anti-oxidants are powerful free radical combatants. Fruits and vegetables are also high in anti-oxidants. Anti-oxidants are linked with preventing cancer, and a decreased risk of stroke, heart disease and lower blood cholesterol.
In addition to these anti-oxidants, all teas, whether black, white or green contain calcium, magnesium, potassium and vitamins C and K. Green tea is also appears to be very good for your teeth.
As exciting as it is to think that green tea may be helpful in preventing cancer; what's even more exciting is that it may also be a powerful treatment for cancer. In one recent study by the School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Shizuoka, Japan*, research showed that green tea, when combined with the drug Adriamycin, was more effective in treating a certain kind of ovarian sarcoma (cancer of the ovaries) than using the adriamycin alone.
In fact, the cancer cells in the rats in the study were not very responsive at all to the drug when it was administered alone; but when administered along with the substance in tea called theanine, the rats became extremely responsive to the treatment. The rats showed a much higher concentration of the drug in their cancer cells when the drug was administered along with the theanine.
This combination of andriamycin and theanine appears to inhibit the growth of tumors; suggesting that cancer patients might be able to avoid progression of their tumors and might be less susceptible to developing new tumors, when green tea substances are used in conjunction with cancer drugs.
This is, of course, very exciting news. Cancer treatment typically has two facets. The first is killing the cancerous cells that already exist in the body. The second is preventing new cancer cells from growing, both in the organ where the cancer originated, and in other organs (metastasis).
If green tea can help with both aspects of cancer treatment, as well as preventing cancer in the first place, we may be closer than ever to dramatically reducing the incidence of or even eradicating this disease. Of course, far more research is needed, but these results are promising, indeed.

Different Approaches to Colon Cancer Treatment
Different Approaches to Colon Cancer Treatment
Colon cancer is a disease that affects the large intestine, an organ that absorbs the nutrients from the food, and stores and eliminates the fecal material. The large intestine has two parts, the colon and the rectum. Colon cancer occurs when tumors appear inside the colon and rectum. These tumors can be malignant, in which case they do not present any danger and they can be removed by a simple surgery, and beningn. Beningn tumors are cancerous tumors that can spread and cause life-threatening complications. If you have been diagnosed with a beningn colon tumor you must begin the colon cancer treatment as soon as possible because if the illness is left untreated it can spread to other organs such as the liver and the lungs.
There are three methods of treating colon cancer - by surgery, radiation therapy and by chemotherapy.
Colon cancer surgery is the most widely-used method of treating the disease. In colon cancer surgery, the part of the colon that has the tumor and the infected tissue on it is removed, and then the remaining parts of the colon are sewn back. Lately, colon cancer surgeries are done with the help of an instrument called laparoscope, which enables the doctors operate through a very small abdominal incision, leaving only a small scar behind.
Radiation therapy is a treatment that involves the use of high energy rays that can kill the cancer cells. The advantage of this method is that it can also kill the cancerous cells that have spread and were not detected yet. Radiation therapy is required when the cancer has spread to another organ and the surgery can not remove it form there. The bad part of radiation therapy is that it has side effects that include diarrhea, tiredness or bladder irritation.
Chemotherapy uses special anti cancerous drugs that are injected into the patient's blood and spread through the whole body, killing all the cancerous cells. This kind of therapy is used when the cancer has spread to many places and surgery or radiation therapy can't cover such large areas. Unfortunately chemotherapy has the worst side effects. The most common are loss of hair, loss of appetite, fatigue, easy bruising and bleeding, vomiting and diarrhea.
The method used and the survival rate depend on what stage has colon cancer advance to when the treatment begins. In the first stage the survival rate exceeds 90%, in the second stage 70%, in the third 60%, and in the fourth is goes down to somewhere around 8%. That is why it's important to pay attention at the symptoms and start the treatment as soon as you ca
