What Treatment Would I Have If I Had Your Cancer?
If I had been diagnosed with your cancer 20 years ago I would have accepted any treatment recommended by my doctors because after all they are the experts. However today that is not so and that's because of one simple reason, knowledge. The study of cancer has taught me many facts which of course I was ignorant of back then. I have learnt why we only have those 3 treatments of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, I have learnt of the ineffectiveness of those 3 treatments, I have learnt who controls the cancer industry and I have learnt there are other, better ways to overcome all cancers.
Managing Treatment For Low White Blood Cell Count
When someone's white blood cell count is low, his immune system isn't as strong as usual and he's at increased risk of infection, a condition known as neutropenia. The lower his white blood cell count is -- and the longer it stays low -- the higher the risk that he'll get sick or contract some type of infection. (Normal white blood cell counts range from 4, 500 to 11, 000 WBCs per cubic millimeter of blood. For more information, see understanding low white blood cell counts. Fever is often the first sign of infection, so keep an eye on his temperature. Call his doctor if his temperature climbs above 100 degrees.
Can Turmeric Help With Cancer Prevention and Treatment?
Epidemiological data indicate that the prevalence of several types of cancer (colon, kidney, prostate, and lung), is less prevalent in Asian countries, where the populations consume a high quantity of turmeric. A number of studies involving animals who are exposed to carcinogenic substances have indicated that treatment with the substance is able to prevent several forms of the disease (lung, colon, stomach, liver, skin, breast, oesophagus, lymphatic, leukemia). Clinical trial data are presently less prevalent. A preliminary trial involving 16 subjects pointed to the conclusion that the use of this tropical plant from India may in fact help to decrease the production of mutagens in smokers.
Do You Live in Fear of the Big C ? - Cancer
Did you know that some scientists have just submitted some results of testing to the FDA that even they cannot ignore. Amazing - right?

Fish Oil Cancer Link Study - Could it Really Help Cancer Patients?
This study that I uncovered which looked into fish oil cancer is a few years old now, but its findings are still important and relevant today and worth repeating. It found convincing data that fish oil supplements could make a difference in some patients. This study carried out in Britain, spent time looking at how it played a part in trying to prevent an aspect of the disease known as cachexia, a weight loss condition. This happens in advanced cases of this horrible disease, suppressing the patients appetite, and consequently their metabolism. The research seemed to conclude that fish oil supplements could be used very effectively at reversing such weight loss, which impacts on the quality of life of the patient.

How to Cure Cancer by Using Some Common Sense
A friend of mine died recently, Neil was in his late sixties and was an identical twin. His twin brother, David was extremely concerned that the same fate awaited him but need not have worried as lifestyle factors are the main cause cancer, not genetics. Neil's cancer started in the prostate then shifted to his lungs, he was a smoker most of his life but gave up 15 years ago. Neil's sister said he should have done something about it when he was first diagnosed and not just relied on our mainstream treatments of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy to cure him. She was right as those treatments today only shrink cancer and there is nothing in those 3 treatments that will stop it spreading or returning.
Hypnotism Makes Psychological Adjustments to Cancer Easier
Despite the fact that there are many psychological responses to cancer, there is at least one that is universal--the heightened sense of anxiety experienced even by the most well balanced individuals.
