What Does Breast Cancer Look Like?

By Alison Ayer

Would you like to find out what those-in-the-know have to say about breast cancer? The information in the article below comes straight from well-informed experts with special knowledge to answer the question, "what does breast cancer look like?"

Breast cancer is the most lethal form of cancer for women in the world. An estimated 1 million cases will be identified this year, and about 500,000 new and existing patients will die from the disease. Breast cancer incidence among women of European descent in the Western world is several times higher than that among Chinese or Japanese women in Asia. The gradual elimination of this difference over several generations among Asian migrants in Western countries implies that genetic factors are not responsible for the ecological contrasts [2]. Breast cancer is 100 times more common in women than in men. Most cases of male breast cancer are detected in men between the ages of 60 and 70, although the condition can develop in men of any age.

Breast cancer is caused by cells in the breast growing abnormally and quickly, forming a tumor. The two main forms of breast cancer are ductal carcinoma, which begins in the mild ducts of the breast, and lobular carcinoma, which originates in the milk-producing glands.

So far, we've uncovered some interesting facts about breast cancer. You may decide that the following information is even more interesting.

Women who drink alcohol have a modestly increased risk. The more you drink, the greater your risk. Women, in general, are concerned with their appearance, their weight, and their body, with recent studies suggesting 89% of women reported concerns with weight. Such premorbid concerns are often deeply ingrained and can contribute to psychological distress in women treated for breast cancer. Women frequently chave their underarms, which causes small abrasions. When applying an antiperspirant, the aluminum inside the antiperspirant, goes into the bloodstream and can cause cancerous tumors.

Breast cancer can reoccur 10, 15, 20 years after the first diagnosis, and then it can be deadly. I would never want to trivialize domestic violence, but please, do not try to trivialize this disease that can strike anyone, from very young to the elderly. Breast cancer is a malignancy of the breast, usually involving the ductal or lobular tissues (the tissues involved in milk production). A small percentage of breast cancers tend to cluster in families. Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer diagnosed in women today. Around the world breast cancer statistics shows that after lung cancer breast cancer is the second most death-causing factor in people who develops cancer.

Women with higher breast density are at increased risk of developing breast cancer. Breast density can be assessed by mammography. Women in their 40s are 60% more likely to experience false positives from mammograms, leading to unnecessary follow-up tests and anxiety. While these risks may seem relatively minor, early screening also increases the odds that a woman will be treated for cancer that never would have sickened her - and unnecessary cancer treatment is a much more serious proposition than a biopsy. Women who unfortunately have cancer before age 40 have been and would continue to receive mammograms due to other findings or history. The disease itself comes in so many forms that certainly there is not one perfect way to treat it or cure it.

Breast cancer patients themselves aren't the only ones who can benefit from psychological treatment. Psychologists often help spouses who must offer both emotional and practical support while dealing with their own feelings, for instance. Breast cancer constitutes about 10 % of all the cancer that occur in the human community. Recent times have seen a steep rise in the incidence of breast cancer as we are getting derailed from healthy life style.

It seems like new information is discovered about something every day. And the topic of breast cancer is no exception. Keep reading to get more fresh news about breast cancer.

Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in American women behind lung cancer. The lifetime risk of any particular woman getting breast cancer is about 1 in 8 although the lifetime risk of dying from breast cancer is much lower at 1 in 28. Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women worldwide. For whatever reason, the number of cases has increased in the last 30 years. Breast cancer is hormone-dependent. Temperature can alter hormone function.

Women with higher breast density are at increased risk of developing breast cancer. Breast density can be assessed by mammography. Women in their 40s are 60% more likely to experience false positives from mammograms, leading to unnecessary follow-up tests and anxiety. While these risks may seem relatively minor, early screening also increases the odds that a woman will be treated for cancer that never would have sickened her - and unnecessary cancer treatment is a much more serious proposition than a biopsy.

The disease itself comes in so many forms that certainly there is not one perfect way to treat it or cure it.

Treatment can come at a very high price. Others may argue that as long as you are alive, this is of utmost importance to your children, and then, it means also so much to you, the patient, to be able to be there for them. Treatments with greater efficacy and/or fewer side effects are constantly being tested. This article describes how to keep up with improving treatments that might help you. Treatment can be anything from surgery to chemotherapy to radiation therapy to biological therapy.

Lung Cancer! Can Alternative Medicines Really Work Against Lung Cancer?

By Grahaam A. E. Maartin

Lung Cancer! Graviola and N-Tense are said to be very effective fighting this. Are they? Many people have, and still are using them. The results appear to say a big yes!

"Lung cancer"! The thought of having this frightens many people. Indeed many are frightened by the very words 'Lung Cancer' strong words, yes! Available now are two powerful natural herbal products, N-Tense and Graviola, both appear to be showing some fine results.

As a rule, the large majority of medical practitioners and doctors do not support the use of treating 'Lung Cancer' with 'Herbal Treatments' like Graviola and N-Tense. In many cases describing them as 'quack' or 'fringe' medicines, mainly because they were not taught it at 'Medical School'!

There is growing evidence to support the fact that many of these herbal remedies may really be quite beneficial to you. Two of these in particular 'Graviola' and N-Tense are showing some quite remarkable results, often, in cases where traditional treatment and or chemotherapy don't work. What would you do if you had lung cancer?

The Health Sciences Institute (HSI) featured an article, In 2001, headlined "Billion-dollar Drug Company nearly squashes astounding research on natural cancer killer". It goes on to say Cancer conquered with miracle tree from the Amazon found to be 10,000 times stronger than chemotherapy". Can you believe that! 10.000 times stronger and yet some unethical pharmaceutical company tried to squash it because they couldn't patent a plant that just might stop Lung Cancer! That tree was Graviola! . So what exactly is Graviola?

This tree Graviola is indigenous to the Amazon and various regions of South America. It's not a big rainforest tree by any means, the fact is it' relatively small in Rainforest terms growing to only 5 or 6 metres tall. But the "Lung Cancer" fighting properties it has are amazing; in fact it's an absolute monster.

Lots of research has already been completed. It's been found that a lot of the phytochemicals or annonaceous acetogenins (the chemical compounds that occur naturally in plants) found in the stem, leaves, and seeds of the Graviola tree are cytotoxic against many cancer cells and tumours. These plant parts are all used in herbal medicine.

Excellent news because, quote:- (Cytotoxic: Toxic to cells, cell-toxic, cell-killing. Any agent or process that kills cells. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy are forms of cytotoxic therapy.) The HSI says in this article that the tree has undergone more than 20 laboratory studies and tests since the 1970s, where it's been shown to: Effectively target and kill malignant cells in 12 different types of cancer, including lung, Prostate, colon, breast, and pancreatic cancer. Be 10,000 times stronger in killing colon cancer cells than Adriamycin, a commonly used chemotherapeutic drug. Without harming healthy cells, it can selectively hunt down and kill cancer cells, unlike chemotherapy.

Back in 1976 a plant screening program by the National Cancer Institute also showed that Graviola displayed active cytotoxicity against cancer cells and various researchers have been following up on this research ever since and have found that Graviola was a cancer killing powerhouse. These Herbal products have been in use worldwide almost since the time when man first walked on the earth. If you or your loved ones suffer from this terrible ailment, then I would strongly recommend that you read the HSI article about N-Tense and Graviola here. It really is staggering!

Other Herbal products that could also be used help assist the above are "Immune Support" to boost the immune system and also Lung Support to help with lung function. Both have shown to be off great help!

N-Tense and Graviola, could they help you in the fight against Lung Cancer? The answer it appears is yes, it can!

A reality-check on the War on Cancer

By Tony Ulrich

President Nixon declared the war on cancer in the seventies and foresaw victory waiting around the door. Unfortunately, this goal was never achieved. We know that a cure for cancer is yet to be found.

When I asked my parents about how many people they knew with cancer when they were still children, they told me, maybe one or two. I am now 37 years old and I have to conclude that the situation has changed dramatically.

My point is: every 7th or 8th women today in the United States will get breast-cancer this year. Go back in time and you will realize it wasn't like that 20, 40, 60, 80 years ago.

You probably know one or more people diagnosed with cancer. And unfortunately, it is likely that there's even someone in your family who got diagnosed.

My wife Ann was diagnosed with breast cancer in March of 2009. In August 2009, my mother was hospitalized for removing a tumor - she has cervical cancer. On October 1st, just a few weeks ago, after I had encountered blood in my urine, my urologist ordered a CAT-Scan that revealed a 6.2 cm tumor in my left kidney.

I am about to have surgery during which my kidney will be removed entirely. It's insane. Cancer is everywhere. It's not that remote mysterious disease anymore that was likely to spare you.

Nixon promised money and he lived up to his promise. Billions of Dollars were spent on cancer research, but with the exception of a few - admittedly remarkable - strides, cancer still seems to grow uncontrollably. This is a phenomenon that applies to the whole Western World and is not only confined to the US, of course.

Is it only me imagining that all? Is it simply coincidental that both, my wife and I got diagnosed with cancer, plus my mom and another 10 folks I know - all that in just one year?

A lot of people disagree with me. They point out that especially in the area of breast cancer the situation has gotten much better, by referring to new studies and statistical data. According to those voices, we have a lower number of new incidents and mortalities.

Well, I got to admit that math wasn't necessarily my strongest subject back in the days but I do know how to read data and graphs, furthermore, I know how easy it to tweak numbers. Actually, you don't really have to tweak them, it's much rather a matter of how you present them.

'The War on Cancer' is far away from being over soon, even though some significant improvements were achieved by research, science and modern medicine. Hopefully, it won't take too long anymore until we have achieved President Nixon's declared goal, of eradicating cancer entirely. - 31372

Can You Beat Stomach Cancer by using Traditional Herbal Remedies and Alternative Medicine?

By Grahaam A. E. Maartin

Stomach Cancer! The question we are going to ask is. Do herbal products like Graviola Max and Graviola Really work? The results seem very positive, enough to sayYes!

"Stomach Cancer"! The thought of having this frightens many people. Indeed many are frightened by the very words 'Stomach Cancer' strong words, yes! Available now are two powerful natural herbal products, Graviola Max and Graviola, both appear to be showing some fine results.

Usually, the large majority of doctors and medical practitioners although to be fair, not all, do not support the use of natural products like Graviola and Graviola Max in treating "Stomach Cancer". Often calling them "fringe or quack" remedies, simply because the medical institutions don't teach the students about them.

Evidence is growing however, in support of the fact that many of these botanicals may be really quite beneficial. Two of these herbal remedies in particularly, 'Graviola' and 'Graviola Max are showing some quite remarkable results in "Stomach Cancer" patients. Often in cases where chemotherapy and traditional treatment didn't work. Would you use it?

In 2001 The HSI organisation (Health Sciences Institute) featured an article with the headline "Billion-dollar Drug Company nearly squashes astounding research on natural cancer killer" It says. "Cancer conquered with miracle tree from the Amazon found to be 10,000 times stronger than chemotherapy". Can you believe that! 10.000 times stronger and yet some unethical greedy pharmaceutical company tried to squash it because they couldn't patent a plant that just might stop Stomach Cancer! Disgusting! That tree was Graviola! So what exactly is Graviola?

Graviola is an indigenous to South America and some parts of the Amazon Rainforests It's not exactly big either growing only 5 to 6 metres high. But in regards to having "Stomach Cancer" attacking properties, it's massive! Anyone interested in beating "Stomach Cancer" should know more about this life saver.

Plenty of research has already been done and has found that many of the phytochemicals or annonaceous acetogenins (These are the chemical compounds that occur naturally in plants) found in the leaves, seeds and stem of Graviola tree are cytotoxic against various cancer / tumour cells such as Stomach Cancer. All these plant parts are used in natural medicine.

That is the very good because, quote:- (Cytotoxic: Toxic to cells, cell-toxic, cell-killing. Any agent or process that kills cells. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy are forms of cytotoxic therapy.) The HSI article says the tree has been studied in over 20 laboratory tests since the 1970s, and it has shown to: Effectively target and kill malignant cells in 12 different types of cancer, including pancreatic, lung, colon, prostate and Stomach Cancer. Be 10,000 times stronger in killing Stomach Cancercells than Adriamycin, a commonly used chemotherapeutic drug. Selectively hunt down and kill cancer cells without harming healthy cells, unlike chemotherapy.

A plant screening program back in 1976 by the National Cancer Institute also demonstrated that Graviola showed active cytotoxicity against cancer cells. Many researchers who have been following up on this research have also found that Graviola was a cancer killing turbine. The use of herbal products worldwide has been there almost since the time when man first walked on the earth, well for a few thousands of years at least. So, If you or your loved ones suffer from cancer, then I would recommend that you read the Graviola and Graviola Max article by the HSI in full here. It's mind blowing!

In addition to the above it has been shown that taking additional herbal products such as "Immune Support" to boost the immune system may be beneficial!

Well can Graviola and Graviola Max help you in your fight against Stomach Cancer? It seems that the answer is possibly, yes it can!

Can You Beat Bladder Cancer by using Traditional Herbal Remedies?

By Grahaam A. E. Maartin

Bladder Cancer! Do herbal products like Graviola and Graviola Max actually work? That is the issue I am going to look at. But the initial results seem to say an emphatic yes!

Many people are worried at the thought of developing Bladder Cancer! Does the phrase "Bladder Cancer" worry you? Powerful words are they not? Graviola and Graviola Max both seem to be very good herbal products, and they are available to you...Now!

Traditionally, the large majority of medical practitioners and doctors (though not all), frown on the use of herbal remedies like Graviola and Graviola Max for 'Bladder Cancer', often describing them as 'quack' or 'fringe' medicines, simply because they are outside the range of subjects taught in medical school.

Why Should You Choose A Paraben Free Anti Aging Moisturizer?

By Peter Geraldson

The market for paraben free anti aging products, paraben free skin care products and paraben free cosmetics is growing faster and faster. What exactly are parabens and why should you choose a paraben free anti aging moisturizer?

Parabens are chemicals that are used in many personal and beauty products such as skin care products and anti aging products and cosmetics.

They are used in these products as preservatives. They work well as preservatives and they are exceptionally cheap, there are more natural alternatives but these are much more expensive. But there is some concern raised about whether parabens used as preservatives in so many of our personal products can damage the health of the user.

Some studies have linked parabens in our personal products to breast cancer. One study in particular took tissue samples of cancerous breast tissue and found parabens in 18 out of 20 samples tested. Of course this doesn't prove that the parabens caused the cancer but is certainly worrying.

It is known that parabens will penetrate the skin. Studies have shown that when parabens are applied to the skin they can be found in the blood within hours. Clearly they penetrate our bodies which is also worrying.

And it has also been discovered that some parabens can mimic the action of estrogen, a female hormone. Again this doesn't provide proof that parabens are dangerous but is certainly worrying.

The precautionary principle says that we should avoid using ingredients such as these until they are proven safe however the reality is that until they are proven to be unsafe they will continue to be used in products that most of us use every day.

For these reasons many people choose to select paraben free products. For example those searching for anti aging moisturizers can find excellent quality paraben free anti aging moisturizers which use natural preservatives which work as preservatives and which are non-toxic.

There is raging debate about the safety of parabens in our personal products and although it's not entirely clear that parabens are dangerous it does seem questionable and to this reason many are choosing to go paraben free. However of course the choice is yours alone.

There are small companies who have made the decision to avoid using parabens in all their products and to produce skin care and anti-aging products that are completely free of any chemicals known or suspected to cause health damage. In fact what I consider to be the worlds best anti aging moisturizers and skin care products are entirely paraben free.

On my website I write more about the dangers inherent in so many of our personal products and seek to demonstrate to readers that there are safer alternatives which also are much more effective. Visit my website to find out more. - 31372

The Many Influences of Plastic Surgery Costs

By Gregory McWhorton

The cost of plastic surgery depends on a number of factors. The primary factors that determine what a procedure will cost include but are not limited to the area of the body to be treated, the type of procedure, and the physical location of the surgeon. Typically, large parts of the body will cost more to treat than smaller parts. Some procedures are more difficult or labor intensive and can depend on the techniques employed. The plastic surgery market of the geographical region dictates the rates so clinics have to price accordingly.

Larger body areas will cost more than smaller areas. It might seem obvious but it is the effort and time required of the surgeon that patients are being charged.

The cost per treatment area can influence each other as well if they are to be combined into one session. It costs less in terms of effort to prepare and clean up to treat multiple areas. It is cheaper to do work on multiple areas in a single session to make the most of the efforts of setting up and preparing the patient for surgery.

There are many different plastic surgery procedures and each one will differ in cost from another. The procedures can be grouped by likeness since similar procedures will be priced similarly and are usually based on the complication of the technique involved.

Major surgeries that require sedation of the patient will cost more than procedures where local anesthesia is administered. The anesthesia charge is a big item in the total cost of plastic surgery and the amount of the drug used is not free. Higher doses not only cost more for the solution but also because the administration will require a certified anesthesiologist.

The surgeon fee is the price most often quoted and advertised since it is consistently an item across every type of plastic surgery procedure. There are many charges that the clinic will pass onto the patient in the form of various fees. The overhead charge for the use of the surgical equipment and room will be charged as a facility fee or hospital fee. Anesthesia will cost most patients approximately one thousand dollars. Different types of tools and equipment required will be included in the facility fee as well. - 31372

Breast Cancer In Orange County

By Phyllis Yarber

Imagine the next time you join a discussion about breast cancer in orange county. When you start sharing the fascinating breast cancer facts below, your friends will be absolutely amazed.

Breast cancer starts in the cells of the breast. The breast tissue covers an area larger than just the breast. Breast cancer spreads when breast cancer cells move to other sites in the body through the blood vessels and/or lymph vessels. A common site of spread is the regional lymph nodes. Breast cancer is most easily treated when it is detected early. This makes self-examinations an important part of a person's regular health maintenance.

Breast cancer usually shows as a lump or thickening in the breast tissue, although most breast lumps are not cancerous. Breast cancer may be diagnosed before any symptoms occur through screening. The NHS National Breast Screening Programme provides free screening for breast cancer for all women over the age of 50. Breast cancer is a disease in which certain cells in the breast become abnormal and multiply without control or order to form a tumor. The most common form of breast cancer begins in cells lining the ducts that carry milk to the nipple (ductal cancer).

It seems like new information is discovered about something every day. And the topic of breast cancer in orange county is no exception. Keep reading to get more fresh news about breast augmentation in orange county and fort worth.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer and most common cause of cancer deaths among females in Australia. This cancer mostly affects women after the age of 40. Breast cancer is a common disease. Each year, approximately 200,000 women in the United States are diagnosed with breast cancer, and one in nine American women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women, although men get breast cancer too.

One firm also manufactures breast cancer treatment medications and a pill that allegedly reduce the risk. It's a perfect profit circle. They are now the sole manufacturer of rBGH - the artificial growth hormone given to dairy cows that increases people's risk of cancer. The company also manufactures breast cancer treatment medications and a pill that supposedly "reduces the risk" of breast cancer.

Women may not begin to have screening mammograms until they are 50, and they may cease doing breast self-exams altogether, if the newest guidelines for breast cancer screening from the USPSTF are widely adopted. In Canada and the United Kingdom, 50 is already the age at which screening mammography is begun. Women thinking they can use other means or save themselves the expense. Then they call me months later and we have a harder journey. Women aged between 50 and 70 are now routinely invited.

Of course, it's impossible to put everything about orange county breast augmentation into just one article. But you can't deny that you've just added to your understanding about breast augmentation fort worth, and that's time well spent. - 31372

Types of Care with Liposuction Surgery Post Op

By Adriana Noton

Liposuction is more popular than ever and many inquiring minds want to know what can be expected once they get home from the surgery. While there used to be horror stories of people being in agonizing pain after the surgery, now surgeons show patients that are talking on their cell phones during the surgery. While techniques have improved, care of body with liposuction surgery afterwards has remained relatively similar.

Once the procedure has been completed, the patient will meet with the doctor to get a list of care instructions that will outline everything that can be expected over the next two months or so. Be sure to ask questions in regards to anything that is not clear. It is imperative that the patient understand every bit of what they must do in order to heal properly.

When the surgery is completed, the patient will have to wear a compression garment and must stay in that garment for the following two days. Be prepared to do little but lie around and rest as the garment must stay on at all times and cannot get wet for any reason. After the first two days, the patient can shower, but must then keep the garment on at all other times. When that period has passed, they can then take the garment off when they go to bed, but it must be worn during the day.

This garment is one of the major keys to the recovery process. Because the normal bond of the skin is separated (because of the fat removal) during the surgery, it needs time to create another bond. The compression garment enables this to happen without the appearance of sagging.

There will also be bruising in and around the area where the fat is taken from. It may look pretty bad at times, but this is normal and will eventually heal. Because of this, the area will also be extremely sore and rest is the best medicine. This procedure is very invasive and when the surgery is over, it shows.

Once the patient is home and resting, they may experience some leaking from the wounds of the surgery. Do not panic and think that something is wrong as it is nothing more than the fluids that were not sucked out during the liposuction. It should not be a heavy flow, but more like a seeping. Just keep the areas as dry as possible so that the garment is not damaged.

For the first few days after the cosmetic surgery, the only thing that should be done is rest. While it is unlikely the patient will feel like doing anything else anyway, it is just better to be safe and heed the warning. Once the initial 48 hours passes, they can then get a shower, but the garment must be worn at all other times and they must take it easy. Light activity can be resumed after that period, but because the garment is still being worn, it is better to keep the heavy exercise back for just a bit longer. About two months after the surgery the patient can resume their normal routine.

When people first get home from the surgery and are able to take off the garment, they are usually shocked by the amount of bruising. The body hurts and it may seem like it will never get better, but recovery is far quicker than it would appear at that moment. The important thing after the surgery is to take it easy and allow the body to once again create the bond that it had. In just a short while, the bruises will be gone and slimmer body will be staring back in the mirror. - 31372

How Does the Breast Implants Impact On the Patient?

By Adriana Noton

Breast surgery is probably something that at the very least runs across the mind of every woman. It doesn't seem to matter if they already have a large chest or not, bigger is better. While this surgery can do wonders for some women, it is not the be all and end all cure. Some things should be looked at before undergoing this surgery in regard to what the breast surgery impact will be.

First and foremost, the surgery has to be for you. If anyone is getting the surgery to make someone else happy, it is ill advised. That should be a warning sign that the relationship is superficial right from the start. If you cannot be accepted for who you are, then what is the point of being with that person.

A popular reason that many women use to get breast surgery is because they want to wear certain clothes. Smaller breasted women often feel awkward in certain types of dresses or tops that make them feel less of a woman. This may not be the best reason to get breast surgery, but it is perfectly understandable. It is very easy to imagine the swagger that will be added to their step once they get to wear a dress that they have only dreamed of to this point.

Self esteem is something that is thrown around quite a bit when breast surgery is talked about. This can be a dangerous path to go down as it can very easily work both ways. Whether this is successful or not may just depend on the circumstances surrounding the surgery in the first place. Women have to be careful not to expect huge changes in their lives just because they have larger breasts.

When a woman gets breast surgery because she lost a breast to cancer, the change in her will be extremely noticeable. Many times, the new breasts enable the person that had become very shy and introverted to finally be themselves again. In this case, the psyche benefits from the breast surgery.

The person that has to be very careful is someone that already has low self esteem and is very down on themselves. This is hardly the reason to get breast surgery and they are only fooling themselves if they think it is going to change their life that dramatically. This is very dangerous ground and can lead to more harm than good.

Any woman that is struggling with their life at the moment or that is trying to create the perfect body should avoid any type of plastic surgery. These women often become obsessed with the procedures and are always chasing one more improvement. Unfortunately, there are surgeons that will take advantage of this and just leave a wounded psyche behind.

While most people may not want to go through a psychological evaluation to get breast surgery, many reputable surgeons will actually require this. This gives them a little more confidence as to why the woman actually wants to have the cosmetic surgery. If everything is okay in the patient's life and they are indeed having the surgery for the right reasons, the procedure will be scheduled and hopefully the woman will come out looking exactly the way she desires. - 31372

Bladder Cancer! Can Alternative Medicines Really Work Against Bladder Cancer?

By Grahaam A. E. Maartin

Bladder Cancer! Do herbal products like Graviola and Graviola Max actually work? That is the issue I am going to look at. But the initial results seem to say an emphatic yes!

Many people are worried at the thought of developing Bladder Cancer! Does the phrase "Bladder Cancer" worry you? Powerful words are they not? Graviola and Graviola Max both seem to be very good herbal products, and they are available to you...Now!

Usually, the large majority of doctors and medical practitioners although to be fair, not all, do not support the use of natural products like Graviola and Graviola Max in treating "Bladder Cancer". Often calling them "fringe or quack" remedies, simply because the medical institutions don't teach the students about them.

Evidence is growing however, in support of the fact that many of these botanicals may be really quite beneficial. Two of these herbal remedies in particularly, 'Graviola' and 'Graviola Max are showing some quite remarkable results in "Bladder Cancer" patients. Often in cases where chemotherapy and traditional treatment didn't work. Would you use it?

In 2001 The Health Sciences Institute (HSI) featured an article, headlined "Billion-dollar Drug Company nearly squashes astounding research on natural cancer killer". It says. "Cancer conquered with miracle tree from the Amazon found to be 10,000 times stronger than chemotherapy". Can you believe that! 10.000 times stronger and yet some greedy pharmaceutical company tried to squash it because they couldn't patent a plant that just might stop Bladder Cancer! Disgusting! That tree was Graviola! .... So what exactly is Graviola?

Graviola is a tree that is indigenous to the Amazon Rainforests and some other parts of South America. It's not really a huge rainforest tree, in fact it is a relatively small evergreen "shrub" (in Rainforest terms) growing to only 5 to 6 metres tall. But in terms of having cancer cell fighting properties, it's an absolute giant!

Lots of research has already been completed. It's been found that a lot of the phytochemicals or annonaceous acetogenins (the chemical compounds that occur naturally in plants) found in the stem, leaves, and seeds of the Graviola tree are cytotoxic against many cancer cells and tumours. These plant parts are all used in herbal medicine.

Excellent news because, quote:- (Cytotoxic: Toxic to cells, cell-toxic, cell-killing. Any agent or process that kills cells. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy are forms of cytotoxic therapy.) The HSI says in this article that the tree has undergone more than 20 laboratory studies and tests since the'70s, where it's been shown to: * Effectively target and kill malignant cells in 12 different types of cancer, including lung, Prostate, colon, Bowel, and Bladder Cancer. * Be 10,000 times stronger in killing Bladder Cancercells than Adriamycin, a commonly used chemotherapeutic drug. * Without harming healthy cells, it can selectively hunt down and kill cancer cells, unlike chemotherapy.

Back in'76 a plant screening program by the National Cancer Institute also showed that Graviola displayed active cytotoxicity against cancer cells and various researchers have been following up on this research ever since and have found that Graviola was a cancer killing powerhouse. These Herbal products have been in use worldwide almost since the time when man first walked on the earth. If you or your loved ones suffer from this terrible ailment, then I would strongly recommend that you read the HSI article about Graviola Max and Graviola here. It really is staggering!

Other Herbal products that could also be used help assist the above are "Immune Support" to boost the immune system. Both have shown to be off great help!

Well can Graviola and Graviola Max help you in your fight against Bladder Cancer? It seems that the answer is possibly, yes it can!

Cancer Juicing For Fighting Cancer

By Pat Garcia

More and more, those who have been diagnosed with cancer are choosing to heal their bodies naturally and are opting to use alternative treatments for healing cancer. Juicing has proven to be a very effective way to help the body rid itself of cancer cells. People have been juicing to treat cancer naturally for decades, although it is just now increasing in popularity.

Cancer juicing, or juice therapy, has proven to be very effective due to cancer killing nutrients contained in certain fruits and vegetables. So what are some juices that help the body to rid itself of cancer?

Below you will find a list of foods that contain cancer fighting ingredients. It is important to consume these foods raw and organic if possible. Raw foods are higher in nutrients, and organic foods do not contain the pesticides and other poisons that are commonly used by conventional farmers.

First we have cruciferous vegetables which contain very powerful anti cancer properties. Cruciferous vegetables include turnips, cabbage, cauliflower, brocoli, collard greens and kale greens.

Beta Carotene is another powerful cancer fighting ingredient found in foods. Foods that contain beta carotene include carrots, chili peppers, green peppers, red peppers, yellow peppers, mustard greens, romaine lettuce, collard greens, kale greens, turnip greens, spinach and dandilion greens.

Proanthocyanidins are another powerful cancer fighting nutrient. These are more commonly called PAC's. Rich, dark colored foods typically contain PAC's. These foods include beets, cherries, purple grapes, blueberries, plums, and dark leafy greens.

Other foods that have high cancer killing properties include red raspberries, black raspberries, pineapple, tomato and strawberry.

There are also some bottled juices that are known for killing off cancer cells in the body. Before you purchase any of the following juices, it is highly recommended that you research the brand and only go with the best. Noni juice, Acai juice, Goji Berry juice and Manogsteen juice are packed with powerful cancer fighting nutrients.

It is important to note that in order for juice treatments to truly be effective, the person must have a diet that does not include artificial chemicals, meat products or dairy products. - 31372

Breast Cancer Online

By Berry Eddies

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and all sorts of places from websites to your local grocery market are going pink to spread the word about this widespread disease and raise funds to help fight it. By donating, wearing your pink bracelet or informing friends about breast cancer, you can join the community in promoting this important cause. Individually, you can equip yourself with the proper knowledge so that you can prevent breast cancer, catch it early, or treat it.

The cause for breast cancer is still unknown but there are known risk factors and treatments associated with alleviating it. Most breast cancer treatment consists of medical approaches like surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, biological/hormonal therapy and monoclonal antibodies, but breast cancer patients might also choose to seek alternative breast cancer treatment.

Some alternative breast cancer treatment involves consuming certain substances that are thought to fight tumor cells. Mistletoe can help increase immune system activity and kill cancer cells, and various herbs can cleanse the blood and nourish the body. Other treatments are acupuncture, massage, stress reduction, and exercise. It's possible for acupuncture to relieve symptoms like nausea, fatigue and hot flashes, and nerve problems. Massages help relax the body and they may decrease depression and lymphatic obstruction, and increased immune activity. Stress reduction also helps patients to relax and it can help them to cope with the distress that comes with a breast cancer diagnosis. Exercises like yoga can help patients to distress and improve their physical health.

There are different reasons why patients might prefer alternative breast cancer treatment to standard medical treatment. Some prefer holistic medicine and natural methods because they believe that medical procedures are harmful and unreliable. For example, they contend that mammograms are very expensive, yet they give inaccurate results and may even increase tumor spreading, or they believe that hormone therapy might actually cause hormonal imbalances. Others might find holistic ways to treat breast cancer appealing because they help patients deal with the emotional aspect of having breast cancer as well as the physical consequences, and they may utilize alternative breast cancer treatment in addition to standard medical procedures.

Whether or not alternative breast cancer treatment is effective, it definitely benefits patients psychologically, and even if the treatment might not be "real," the results are. A placebo effect nevertheless improves the health of the patient and in the end, recovery is the goal of any treatment. - 31372

Breast Cancer Surgery News

By Theresa Alvey

The following article presents the very latest information on breast cancer surgery. If you have a particular interest in breast augmentation, then this informative article is required reading.

Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in women. It also develops in men, although rarely. Breast cancer treatment options will depend on the type of breast cancer, what stage the disease is in, and whether it is new or recurring cancer. Types of breast cancer treatment include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and hormone therapy. Breast cancer is a common disease. Each year, approximately 200,000 women in the United States are diagnosed with breast cancer, and one in nine American women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime.

Lymph nodes can be about the size of peas or beans, sometimes very tiny, the size of a grain of rice. Because of the technical difficulties in finding cancer cells in lymph nodes, the pathologist would not be able to find cancer cells in lymph nodes 10 to 20% of the time. Lymph is a clear liquid waste product that gets drained out of the breast into lymph nodes. Lymph nodes are small, pea-sized pieces of tissue that filter and clean the lymph.

If you find yourself confused by what you've read to this point relating to breast augmentation, don't despair. Everything should be crystal clear by the time you finish.

Breast cancer is a disease in which certain cells in the breast become abnormal and multiply without control or order to form a tumour. The most common form of breast cancer begins in cells lining the ducts that carry milk to the nipple (ductal cancer). Breast cancer also occurs in men. An estimated'90 cases will be diagnosed in men in 2008. Patients have to cover their own drug bills, but they can buy Sutent more cheaply in Italy and don't risk losing NHS coverage of the rest of their care. Patients are classified as "Low Risk" or "High Risk" based upon the results. A study found that after 10 years, the low-risk group had only a 3 percent recurrence of breast cancer 10 years after surgery, while the high-risk group had a 62 percent recurrence.

Breast cancer can develop at any age, but the risk of developing it increases as women get older. While 5% to 10% of breast cancers are related to an inherited defect in one of two breast cancer genes (BRCA-1 or BRCA-2), the majority of cases develop for reasons we do not yet understand. Breast cancer can reoccur 10, 15, and 20 years after the first diagnosis, and then it can be deadly. I would never want to trivialize domestic violence, but please, do not try to trivialize this disease that can strike anyone, from very young to the elderly. Breast cancer survivors often have more severe hot flashes and other menopausal symptoms than other women, yet they have limited treatment choices. Hormone replacement therapy, for example, is not an option for cancer survivors because it may increase their risk for disease recurrence.

Women with SSDI and coverage had lower survival rates than those of other women in all-cause mortality (adjusted hazard ratio, 2.02 [CI, 1.88 to 2.16]) and breast cancer specific mortality (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.31 [CI, 1.18 to 1.45]). Results were similar after adjustment for treatment differences. Women who register agree only to consider participating in studies. Women frequently chafe their underarms, which causes small abrasions. When applying an antiperspirant deodorant, the aluminium inside the antiperspirant, goes into the bloodstream and can cause cancerous tumours.

It never hurts to be well-informed with the latest on breast cancer surgery. Compare what you've learned here to future articles so that you can stay alert to changes in the area of breast augmentation. - 31372

Important Facts About Breast Cancer

By Kevin Towns

The only way to keep up with the latest about breast cancer surgery is to constantly stay on the lookout for new information. If you read everything you find about breast augmentation, it won't take long for you to become an influential authority.

Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in women. It also develops in men, although rarely. Breast cancer treatment options will depend on the type of breast cancer, what stage the disease is in, and whether it is new or recurring cancer. Types of breast cancer treatment include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and hormone therapy. Breast cancer is a common disease. Each year, approximately 200,000 women in the United States are diagnosed with breast cancer, and one in nine American women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime.

Breast cancer stem cells have been identified as CD44(+)CD24(-) breast tumour cells and have recently been isolated and propagated in vitro. It has been demonstrated that these cells exclusively retain the ability to form new tumours in mouse models and that they display stem/progenitor cell properties. Breast cancer risk is affected by changes in hormone levels throughout life.

Those of you not familiar with the latest on breast cancer surgery now have at least a basic understanding. But there's more to come.

Estrogens are required for breast development and cancer. Estrogen is one of the most well known causes of breast cancer. This is why anti-estrogen medications are a mainstay of breast cancer treatment (in women who have estrogen responsive breast cancer).

Cells from human prostate cancer were put into a "permanent non-proliferative state", or shut down the cancer process, by the addition of vitamin D. Human cancer cells have been shown to have receptor sites, or stereo specific "parking spaces" for vitamin D. Cell proliferation was arrested by a prolactin mAb and enhanced by exogenous human prolactin, whose mitogenic action was reverted by very low (0.1-0.5 M) doses of anandamide. Anandamide suppressed the levels of the long form of the prolactin receptor in both EFM-19 and MCF-7 cells, as well as a typical prolactin-induced response, i.e., the expression of the breast cancer cell susceptibility gene brca1.

Researchers know that there are racial disparities when it comes to breast cancer. While black women are less likely to develop breast cancer than white women, their death rate is 37 percent higher. Researchers found that 10.5 percent of African Americans had breast cancer before the age of 40 years, and 22.4% before the age of 45 years. African American patients were also less likely to receive surgery.

Now you can understand why there's a growing interest in breast augmentation. When people start looking for more information about breast cancer surgery, you'll be in a position to meet their needs. - 31372

Things To Consider With Breast Cancer Treatments

By Mark Boothe

The following paragraphs summarize the work of breast augmentation surgery experts who are completely familiar with all the aspects of breast cancer treatments. Heed their advice to avoid any nasty surprises.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer and most common cause of cancer deaths among females in Australia. This cancer mostly affects women after the age of 40. Breast cancer is a tumour that has become malignant - it has developed from the breast cells. A 'malignant' tumour can spread to other parts of the body - it may also invade surrounding tissue. Breast cancer occurs when cells in the breast tissue divide and grow without control. The cell cycle is the natural mechanism that regulates the growth and death of cells.

Doctors know that breast cancer develops in phases from early to advanced stages (when it has spread to other organs). The earliest stage may have taken only a few weeks to develop before it is detected. Doctors and scientists are working on finding cures for all types of breast cancer. They are researching new medicines that may even help prevent the disease.

The best time to learn about breast cancer treatments is before you're in the thick of things. Wise readers will keep reading to earn some valuable experience while it's still free.

Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in American women behind lung cancer. The lifetime risk of any particular woman getting breast cancer is about 1 in 8 although the lifetime risk of dying from breast cancer is much lower at 1 in 28. Breast cancer spreads when breast cancer cells move to other sites in the body through the blood vessels and/or lymph vessels. A common site of spread is the regional lymph nodes. Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women, although men get breast cancer too.

Women thinking they can use other means or save themselves the expense. Then they call me months later and we have a harder journey. Women who drink alcohol have a modestly increased risk. The more you drink, the greater your risk. Women who have inherited certain mutations in these genes have a high risk of developing breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and several other types of cancer during their lifetimes. Men with BRCA1 mutations also have an increased risk of developing breast cancer.

Women of every age, ethnicity, and breast cancer risk, as well as male breast cancer survivors who want the life-changing opportunity to directly impact breast cancer research. This non-profit venture allows you to partner with scientists and participate in research studies, so you can help determine how breast cancer starts and how to stop it for good. Women who have breast cancer are especially affected by these rising costs. The report notes that breast cancer patients who have employer-based health insurance had total out-of-pocket expenses averaging $6,250 in 2007, which is greater than out-of-pocket costs for patients who had asthma, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or high blood pressure.

As your knowledge about breast cancer treatments continues to grow, you will begin to see how breast augmentation fits into the overall scheme of things. Knowing how something relates to the rest of the world is important too. - 31372

It's been found that a lot of the phytochemicals or annonaceous acetogenins (the chemical compounds that occur naturally in plants) found in the stem, leaves, and seeds of the Graviola tree are cytotoxic against many cancer cells and tumours. These plant parts are all used in herbal medicine.

This is the really good news because, quote:- (Cytotoxic: Toxic to cells, cell-toxic, cell-killing. Any agent or process that kills cells. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy are forms of cytotoxic therapy.) According to the HSI article the 'Graviola' tree has been studied in more than 20 laboratory tests since the'70s, where it's been shown to: Effectively target and kill malignant cells in 12 different types of cancer, including colon, breast, prostate, lung, and pancreatic cancer. Be 10,000 times stronger in killing colon cancer cells than Adriamycin, a commonly used chemotherapeutic drug. Selectively hunt down and kill cancer cells without harming healthy cells, unlike chemotherapy.

Back in'76 a plant screening program by the National Cancer Institute also showed that Graviola displayed active cytotoxicity against cancer cells and various researchers have been following up on this research ever since and have found that Graviola was a cancer killing powerhouse. These Herbal products have been in use worldwide almost since the time when man first walked on the earth. If you or your loved ones suffer from this terrible ailment, then I would strongly recommend that you read the HSI article about N-Tense and Graviola here. It really is staggering!

It has been shown that taking additional herbal products in addition to the above, such as "Lung Support to help the lungs and also Immune Support" to boost the immune system could be of help!

So, could Graviola and N-tense help you in the fight against Lung Cancer? It appears that the answer is a resounding yes!

Doctors Should Make Sure That The Right Breast Surgery Impact Will Be Achieved

By Adriana Noton

Breast surgery is always a hot topic. There always seems to be a group of women around that want to have it or that argue the opposite side that it is ridiculous and they should be loved for who they are. The breast surgery impact on the psyche can be pretty dramatic for various reasons and only those that are truly ready for this procedure should have it done.

The first thing that has to be established is why the surgery is wanted. Any woman who is getting this surgery to make her man happy and not doing it for herself is making a mistake. The person that they are doing it for could be gone tomorrow. Unless they have another surgery, those breasts are going to be changed forever.

For a woman who has smaller breasts, frustration is sometimes experienced because they do not feel that they can wear sexy clothes. If having larger breasts will give them the confidence and allow them to wear the clothing that they want, why not get the surgery? Having surgery for a reason like this can be a huge boost to any woman's confidence.

Low self esteem is often used as a reason for someone to get breast surgery and this is very tricky ground. There are several different reasons that a woman can have low self esteem and for some of them, breast surgery is not a good option. Breast surgery will not make many of the causes of low self esteem go away all by itself.

Many women who have suffered through breast cancer will go through a bout with low self esteem. This is perfectly understandable and breast surgery is a very viable option for them. They have in essence lost something that made them feel like a woman and they want it back. At times, the confidence booster can be literally seen overnight.

On the other side of the argument is a woman who has low self esteem because of psychological reasons. To think that breast surgery is going to make those issues go away is foolish. Counseling is needed, not cosmetic surgery. Breast surgery can often just make matters worse for them when they realize that not very much has changed.

Everyone struggles through life at times, but making a drastic change like breast surgery is not something that should be done at this point in their life. If they do not get the desired results in public opinion that they were expecting, they can often be damaged further. This will lead to a downward spiral that they may never recover from.

It is common practice for a surgeon to require patients to go through a quick psychiatric questionnaire. This is to make sure that the patient is doing the surgery for the right reasons and not something that could lead to mental issues down the road. Once they are satisfied that the breast surgery impact on the psyche will not be negative, they will move forward and the patient will hopefully see the breasts that they have always dreamed of. - 31372

Specific Care Of Body With Liposuction Surgery

By Adriana Noton

Liposuction has become a very popular surgery for middle aged people as a way to either take off those last few pounds or to get rid of a few added pounds that have suddenly shown up. This surgery has become very routine for many surgeons and while patients faced a lot of pain years ago, advancements have made it much less painful. However, there is still specific care of body with liposuction surgery that should be taken.

Upon leaving the hospital, the patient can expect to get a check list or some type of instruction from the doctor. In most cases, it will give a point by point list of what the patient can and cannot do over the next few weeks after the surgery. This is a quick rundown of what can be expected once the patient arrives back home.

Liposuction patients will be put into a compression garment after the surgery. Depending upon where the surgery was, they will have to remain in that garment for up to 2 days without removing it. After that, the garment will have to be worn at all times except when in the shower for about 3 weeks. Once that period has passed, the garment will only have to be worn during waking hours for another 3 weeks.

It is very important to follow the rules of wearing the garment. Because the surgery is removing the fat that is attaching the skin to the bones, it must be compressed so that sagging does not result. The first three weeks are the most critical to reinitiate the bonding process and after about a month and a half, the process should be completed.

When the patient gets home, they can expect to see bruising. This is normal and will be in the area in and around where all of the fat was removed from. These areas are also going to be very sore from the liposuction. It is extremely important to rest and allow the body to recover from this invasive procedure.

Depending upon the technique of the surgeon, there may be some leakage from the incisions after the patient returns home. This is because some of the fluids that are used during the procedure may not have been totally sucked out during the procedure. It may be a little messy or disgusting, but it is nothing to be alarmed about. It is however important that care is taken so that the compression garment remains clean and dry.

The patient should do little to nothing for the first few days after the surgery and then can proceed to walk around but must avoid any heavy activity at all costs for at least two weeks. Once the period has passed where they need to keep the compression suit on all the time, they can resume with some light exercise and can return to their normal routine when the suit is no longer needed.

Make no mistake about it, the body is going to need some time to heal after this procedure and the post op rules that are laid out by the doctor must be followed to a tee. Rest is imperative to allow the body to heal and to regain the cohesiveness that it had prior to the surgery. While it may not seem like it right after the surgery, your body will be as good as new in a few months and looking much leaner than before. - 31372

Breast Surgery Impact On the Psyche

By Adriana Noton

Breast surgery is probably something that at the very least runs across the mind of every woman. It doesn't seem to matter if they already have a large chest or not, bigger is better. While this surgery can do wonders for some women, it is not the be all and end all cure. Some things should be looked at before undergoing this surgery in regard to what the breast surgery impact will be.

First and foremost, the surgery has to be for you. If anyone is getting the surgery to make someone else happy, it is ill advised. That should be a warning sign that the relationship is superficial right from the start. If you cannot be accepted for who you are, then what is the point of being with that person.

A popular reason that many women use to get breast surgery is because they want to wear certain clothes. Smaller breasted women often feel awkward in certain types of dresses or tops that make them feel less of a woman. This may not be the best reason to get breast surgery, but it is perfectly understandable. It is very easy to imagine the swagger that will be added to their step once they get to wear a dress that they have only dreamed of to this point.

Self esteem is something that is thrown around quite a bit when breast surgery is talked about. This can be a dangerous path to go down as it can very easily work both ways. Whether this is successful or not may just depend on the circumstances surrounding the surgery in the first place. Women have to be careful not to expect huge changes in their lives just because they have larger breasts.

When a woman gets breast surgery because she lost a breast to cancer, the change in her will be extremely noticeable. Many times, the new breasts enable the person that had become very shy and introverted to finally be themselves again. In this case, the psyche benefits from the breast surgery.

The person that has to be very careful is someone that already has low self esteem and is very down on themselves. This is hardly the reason to get breast surgery and they are only fooling themselves if they think it is going to change their life that dramatically. This is very dangerous ground and can lead to more harm than good.

Any woman that is struggling with their life at the moment or that is trying to create the perfect body should avoid any type of plastic surgery. These women often become obsessed with the procedures and are always chasing one more improvement. Unfortunately, there are surgeons that will take advantage of this and just leave a wounded psyche behind.

While most people may not want to go through a psychological evaluation to get breast surgery, many reputable surgeons will actually require this. This gives them a little more confidence as to why the woman actually wants to have the surgery. If everything is okay in the patient's life and they are indeed having the surgery for the right reasons, the procedure will be scheduled and hopefully the woman will come out looking exactly the way she desires. - 31372
