Distress – The First Mental and Emotional Cause of Cancer

 

Sunday, January 29, 2012 by: Dr. Keith Nemec

 

(NaturalNews) How can you live a stress-free life and prevent cancer and other health problems? By learning to manage your cortisol stress hormone levels and by putting the mental/emotional stress in your life in the proper perspective. Once you know how to balance the physical factors of sleep, diet and exercise along with the mental and emotional stresses in your life then you will restore health in your body and mind. This is critical in any alternative cancer treatment.

It is a fact that high stress is a major contributing factor to cancer and many other diseases. The question is how does stress cause cancer? To answer this, one must look at what the stress response does physiologically in the body. Hans Selye, the father of stress research, said there are two types of stress, distress and eustress. Distress is a longer, more damaging response which negatively affects the organs, glands and systems including the immune system. Eustress is a short term beneficial stimulus to the system. If you run up and down the stairs ten times you feel invigorated. Now if you run up and down the stairs one thousand times you are exhausted and totally drained, so eustress is health boosting whereas distress is health depleting.

The stress response is controlled by the brain via the hypothalamus pituitary adrenal axis or HPA axis. The hypothalamus, which has been called the brain of the brain, is the part of your brain that senses biochemical changes similar to the thermostat in your house. If certain bio-chemicals go high or low, it triggers the brain to respond. The hypothalamus does so by telling the master hormone gland, the pituitary, to send messages to the adrenal glands to secrete a hormone called cortisol. When cortisol is at the proper level it is anti-inflammatory and promotes health. When cortisol goes too high with acute stress or too low with chronic stress, it causes your immune and digestive systems to shut down, inflammation to increase, blood sugar to rise, hormones to go out of balance and bones to become osteoporotic. When cortisol stays high or low it predisposes you to cancer and many other diseases.

What causes cortisol to go out of balance?

1. Mental/emotional stress (distress)
2. Lack of total sleep and pre-midnight sleep (four hours is ideal)
3. Diet high in sugar, starch or acid forming foods
4. Too little or too much exercise

Cancer can form when cortisol becomes chronically high or low because adrenal exhaustion causes immune system suppression and your immune system is what keeps the individual cancer cells (which everyone has), from growing into colonies called tumors.

The most important stress management plan starts with proper sleep, diet, and exercise along with learning how to change your perception of the situation. When you change your perception you can change your reality and your health. To reduce the mental/emotional distress one must live fully in the moment without spending time thinking about the “if only I would have” past or the “if only I could” future. If you had excruciating pain in your body, what does your mind say? “I am going to die if I do not get out of this pain”. But is this really true? Can you endure the pain for one second? The answer is yes and this is how you will endure any storm in your life, by living one moment at a time instead of living in the past or the future. This type of living keeps your cortisol and immune system in balance and keeps you healthy in mind and body.

Despite Obesity Crisis, Gov’t. Slow to Rein in Fast Food Industry

By Elizabeth Whitman

Inter Press Service / News Analysis

Published: Saturday 24 December 2011

 

 

In 2007, McDonald’s spent an estimated 1.74 billion dollars globally on advertising.

 

When the fast food chain Mc­Don­ald’s de­cided to add oat­meal to its menu in Jan­u­ary 2011, it lit­er­ally sugar-coated the of­fer­ing as a “portable, af­ford­able and bal­anced break­fast so­lu­tion… to help make it eas­ier and more invit­ing for our guests to eat more whole grains and fruits”.

Al­though a sin­gle serv­ing of plain oat­meal has one gram of sugar, one serv­ing (253 grams) of Mc­Don­ald’s fruit and maple oat­meal with brown sugar con­tains 32 grams of sugar. One serv­ing of the same oat­meal, with­out brown sugar, con­tains 18 grams of sugar, ac­cord­ing to the com­pany’s nu­tri­tion.

“Why would Mc­Don­ald’s… take a ven­er­a­ble in­gre­di­ent like oat­meal and turn it into ex­pen­sive junk food?” lamented New York Times colum­nist Mark Bittman in Feb­ru­ary 2011.

Mc­Don­ald’s oat­meal, he pointed out, “con­tains more sugar than a Snick­ers bar and (is) only 10 fewer calo­ries than a Mc­Don­ald’s cheese­burger or Egg Mc­Muf­fin”.

But crit­ics say Mc­Don­ald’s un­canny abil­ity to turn an in­her­ently healthy food into an un­nat­u­rally processed prod­uct (the oat­meal it­self con­tains seven in­gre­di­ents, in­clud­ing “nat­ural fla­vor”, ac­cord­ing to Bittman) is not even the most egre­gious of the stunts that large food cor­po­ra­tions man­age to pull.

A Nes­tle su­per­mar­ket that set sail in the form of a barge on the Ama­zon River in Brazil in June 2011 could be one of the more out­landish ef­forts by the food in­dus­try to offer an ex­pand­ing range of cus­tomers a plethora of processed and pack­aged foods. Even though processed food is in­ex­pen­sive, noted Bittman, “the costs aren’t seen at the cash reg­is­ter but in the form of high health care bills and en­vi­ron­men­tal degra­da­tion”.

In the United States, food ac­tivists who are highly crit­i­cal of cor­po­ra­tions that mar­ket ag­gres­sively to at­tract and keep a steady con­sumer base are also crit­i­cal of the gov­ern­ment, which seems un­able or un­will­ing to reg­u­late these cor­po­ra­tions, whether through lim­it­ing their mar­ket­ing or re­quir­ing them to ad­here to spe­cific nu­tri­tion stan­dards.

Sys­tem over­load

As a re­sult, not only are in­di­vid­u­als and com­mu­ni­ties feel­ing the ef­fects of a con­sis­tent in­take of un­healthy processed foods laden with sugar and fat, but so­ci­eties around the world and the earth it­self are also forced to bear the heavy bur­den of the un­sus­tain­able agri­cul­tural sys­tem upon which the food in­dus­try re­lies.

Some 33.8 per­cent of adults in the United States are obese, ac­cord­ing to the Cen­ters for Dis­ease Con­trol (CDC). Obese means hav­ing a body mass index (link) of more than 30. The World Health Or­ga­ni­za­tion (WHO) es­ti­mates that by 2015, 2.3 bil­lion adults will be obese.

Lifestyles that in­cor­po­rate lit­tle to no ex­er­cise and a processed diet high in fat and sugar are linked to obe­sity and being over­weight, which are con­nected to a mul­ti­tude of health is­sues, in­clud­ing heart dis­ease, type 2 di­a­betes and some can­cers.

Mar­ket­ing tac­tics

On Dec. 1, a law took ef­fect in San Fran­cisco, Cal­i­for­nia, known as the Health Meals In­cen­tive Or­di­nance, es­tab­lish­ing basic nu­tri­tional stan­dards for kids’ meals that come with free toys, a mar­ket­ing strat­egy used to at­tract kids.

Be­fore the law was passed, ac­cord­ing to Cor­po­rate Ac­count­abil­ity In­ter­na­tional, Mc­Don­ald’s threat­ened to sue San Fran­cisco on the grounds of the First Amend­ment.

Once the law went into ef­fect, in­stead of giv­ing away free toys with its Happy Meals, Mc­Don­ald’s de­cided to charge 10 cents per toy.

Still, “this law re­ally had a tremen­dous pub­lic health im­pact even be­fore it took ef­fect,” de­spite Mc­Don­ald’s ap­proach, said Sara Deon, Value [the] Meal cam­paign di­rec­tor.

South­ern Los An­ge­les passed a mora­to­rium lim­it­ing the de­vel­op­ment of new fast food restau­rants, for ex­am­ple, and Jack-in-the-Box elim­i­nated toys from meals al­to­gether.

Al­though pro­hibit­ing toys from ac­com­pa­ny­ing meals may change noth­ing about the ac­tual con­tent and nu­tri­tional value of the food, the changes do have an im­pact on who buys fast food meals, and how often.

“It’s re­ally about mar­ket­ing,” Deon told IPS. “Big food com­pa­nies cre­ate big de­mand for their prod­ucts through ag­gres­sive mar­ket­ing,” with some com­pa­nies, es­pe­cially Mc­Don­ald’s, mar­ket­ing es­pe­cially ag­gres­sively to­wards chil­dren, so elim­i­nat­ing toys does help re­duce de­mand.

In 2007, Mc­Don­ald’s spent an es­ti­mated 1.74 bil­lion dol­lars glob­ally on ad­ver­tis­ing, ac­cord­ing to a re­port by Con­sumers In­ter­na­tional. Yum Brands, the par­ent com­pany for Taco Bell, Pizza Hut and KFC, spent 1.23 bil­lion dol­lars.

Ad­di­tion­ally, “fed­eral agen­cies wield tremen­dous in­flu­ence over what types of foods we eat and the in­for­ma­tion we re­ceive about them,” wrote Michele Simon, a pub­lic health lawyer, on her blog, point­ing out that the gov­ern­ment sets food safety stan­dards gives nu­tri­tion ad­vice and sub­si­dizes agri­cul­ture.

How­ever, pow­er­ful food in­dus­try lob­bies are able to pres­sure rep­re­sen­ta­tives and sen­a­tors who hail from dis­tricts where peo­ple rely on food in­dus­try cor­po­ra­tions for jobs.

Con­flict of in­ter­est

Many food ac­tivists se­ri­ously doubt law­mak­ers’ com­mit­ment to en­sur­ing that peo­ple have ac­cess to healthy, af­ford­able food, cit­ing con­flicts of in­ter­est and a focus on pro­tect­ing cor­po­ra­tions rather than peo­ple.

In April, the In­ter­a­gency Work­ing Group (IWG), in­clud­ing the Fed­eral Trade Com­mis­sion, the Food and Drug Ad­min­is­tra­tion, the CDC and the U.S. De­part­ment of Agri­cul­ture, de­vel­oped and pro­posed rec­om­men­da­tions on both the nu­tri­tional qual­ity of food mar­keted to chil­dren and teenagers, and mar­ket­ing prac­tices.

The House Com­mit­tee on En­ergy and Com­merce, how­ever, wrote a let­ter to the IWG, say­ing, “the real causes of child­hood obe­sity have more to do with in­ad­e­quate phys­i­cal ac­tiv­ity and ex­cess calo­rie con­sump­tion than with the ad­ver­tis­ing and pack­ag­ing of food.”

It ig­nored ev­i­dence of a con­nec­tion be­tween mar­ket­ing and the pur­chase and eat­ing of fast food, which in turn con­tributes to ex­cess calo­rie con­sump­tion.

The let­ter asked the IWG to “with­draw the cur­rent pro­posal and start afresh”.

“Cor­po­ra­tions sim­ply throw their money around and threaten politi­cians if they try to get in their way,” Simon told IPS. “Even when reg­u­la­tory agen­cies try to do the right thing they’re beat back by con­gres­sional mem­bers that over­see them.”

Simon is not con­vinced that reg­u­la­tions and guide­lines are the most vi­able so­lu­tions to a host of re­lated is­sues in­clud­ing but not lim­ited to poor nu­tri­tion, obe­sity, and an un­sus­tain­able food sys­tem that ex­ploits labor and harms an­i­mals.

What Simon con­sid­ers truly nec­es­sary is com­plete sys­tem over­haul. Her call for an end to cor­po­rate and in­dus­try con­trol has a fa­mil­iar ring.

“We need to build a po­lit­i­cal move­ment,” she said.

Still, de­spite “a lot of lo­cal­ized re­struc­tur­ing” and al­ter­na­tives such as farm­ers’ mar­kets, such op­tions are in­suf­fi­cient, she in­sisted, be­cause they fail to strike at the core of a flaw.

Isorhamnetin – A Natural Way To Prevent Cancer and Diabetes

 

By: Tom Parker

 

Isorhamnetin is a flavonol and phytonutrient (a group of chemical compounds that are found in plant based foods but not considered essential to human health) that has been linked with cancer and diabetes prevention. In this article I will be discussing isorhamnetin in greater detail and providing you with a summary of its main functions, the best food sources, the recommended daily allowances (RDAs) and the potentially adverse effects of consuming too much or too little.

1) DISCOVERY:

Isorhamnetin was discovered by the Hungarian biochemist Albert Szent-Gyorgyi in 1938 as part of the flavonoid family. Gyorgyi initially believed that he had discovered a new vitamin and so named the flavonoids vitamin P. However, it was later discovered that unlike vitamins, the flavonoids are not essential to human health.

2) FUNCTION:

Like many of the flavonols, isorhamnetin is a powerful antioxidant which protects your body’s cells from damaging free radicals (harmful by-products of oxygen related reactions). It can also prevent multiple types of cancer (including esophageal cancer, liver cancer and lung cancer) and reduce the complications associated with diabetes (which include diabetic cataracts and high blood glucose levels). In addition to this, isorhamnetin can help keep your heart healthy by preventing arteriosclerosis (hardening and loss of elasticity within the arteries), preventing high blood pressure and protecting the heart’s cells against oxidative damage.

3) RDA:

Isorhamnetin is not believed to be essential in humans so no RDA has been established for this flavonol.

4) FOOD SOURCES:

Isorhamnetin can be found in numerous plant based foods. Some of the best sources include almonds (7.05 milligrams (mg) per 100 grams (g)), chives (6.75mg per 100g), dill weed (43.5g per 100g), fennel leaves (9.3mg per 100g), red onion (4.25mg per 100g) and turnip greens (between 5mg and 10mg per 100g).

5) OVERDOSE SYMPTOMS:

At the time of writing no overdose symptoms have been linked with isorhamnetin consumption.

6) DEFICIENCY SYMPTOMS:

At the time of writing no deficiency symptoms have been linked with isorhamnetin consumption.

7) SUMMARY:

Whilst there is still a lot more research to be done on isorhamnetin, the early signs are very promising. Not only can it help you fight a number of nasty health conditions (including cancer and diabetes) but it also keeps your heart healthy. Furthermore, isorhamnetin rich foods contain high levels of other health boosting nutrients which means eating these foods allows you to unlock many more health benefits. So make sure you eat almonds, add chives to your dishes and cook with red onions to enjoy all the health benefits listed in this article and more.

Prostate Cancer–Information For Patients Seeking Natural Ways To Reverse It

 

 

 

 

By: Alan-nz

There are are four characteristics with every person diagnosed with prostate cancer and they are; a weak immune system, a lack of oxygen in the cells, excessive toxins and acidity. Are we fixing those with our current treatments? No, there are only natural ways to remedy those. Reversing prostate cancer is all about correcting the reasons why it first appeared.

Nutrition is very important to a person with prostate cancer and by making changes to your diet and consuming mainly fruit and vegetables in their natural state will automatically strengthen a weak immune system and turn an acid diet into a more alkaline diet. The typical western diet which is high in animal fats is a more acid diet. By making changes to a plant based diet you are consuming healing foods and its well known that many of them have cancer fighting properties.

 
Fresh fruit and vegetables are man’s natural food, for instance research has found that both tomatoes and broccoli contain phytonutrients that are beneficial in both fighting cancer and keeping us cancer free. Also increase your consumption of omega 3 fatty acids which are found in flax seed oil, extra virgin olive oil, walnuts and especially fish, such as salmon, tuna and sardines.

There have been thousands of chemicals enter the marketplace over the last couple of decades without adequate testing for human health. We are surrounded by them as we breathe them in as in exhaust gases and industry pollution; we apply them to our skin as in personal care products and many contain parabens, a known carcinogenic substance. They are also in our processed foods as additives, such as food colorings, and most food colorings are from artificial sources. Then there is bisphenol A also called BPA, a toxic substance widely used in the manufacture of plastic products.

Exercise will correct a lack of oxygen in our cells but the main reason exercise is important is to boosts our immune system. Prostate cancer is simply a disease of an immune system thats been weakened and allowed cancer cells to become established. Our immune system relies on muscular activity to function properly because a healthy immune system defends the body against all diseases and will eliminate bacteria, viruses and other foreign invaders including cancer cells.

Its important to realize that prostate cancer is not just a disease of the prostate but a disease of the whole body. Its actually a sign that something is wrong so surgically removing the prostate or any other of our orthodox treatments doesn’t solve the problem. Many of these harsh treatments are causing incontinence and impotence so it is essential to deal with the reasons why it became cancerous and remove those reasons. By dealing with those four causes, prostate cancer is an entirely curable disease.

To reverse prostate cancer cut back on meat, eggs and dairy products and eat a more plant based diet. Avoid hot dogs, bacon and pressed meats because of the nitrates they contain. Also avoid burning meat as with barbecue cooking because of the cancer causing chemicals called heterocyclic amines or HCAs that can form.

By taking responsibility for your own health you can improve your chances of reversing prostate cancer as the body strives to heal itself automatically every single day. All you need to do is to assist it by making these changes.

Alternative Versus Traditional Cancer Treatments

 

 

 

 

Posted October 29, 2009

By Joni Bell

Joni Bell has many years of extensive study in the area of natural cancer prevention and treatment. He has numerous success stories of people being diagnosed living cancer free with use of alternative methods. http://apricotpower-info.com/

View all articles by Joni Bell The reason alternative cancer treatments are not more widely known has little to do with their alleged therapeutic ineffectiveness and far more to do with political control and the therapy marketplace.

Many of the treatments are on the “unproven methods of cancer management” list maintained by the American Cancer Society which is, effectively, a “blacklist”.

Medical doctors will know little if anything at all about alternative cancer treatments for a number of reasons.

Medical schools don’t teach alternative treatments and medical journals rarely contain articles about alternative treatments. Medical journals are published for the allopathic establishment, and they are mostly financed by advertisements from pharmaceutical companies. Doctors receive a lot of negative information about alternative treatments from the American Medical Association (AMA) and the pharmaceutical industry.

Internet “Quackwatches” and so forth decry alternative therapies even when there is contradictory evidence to their effectiveness plus their state medical boards may fine them heavily, suspend their license to practice or even revoke it.

The American Cancer Society (ACS), the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and other Government cancer bodies will not investigate or promote alternative treatments. If your doctor prescribes treatments that are not FDA approved, he or she can be sued or lose their license. A medical doctor can only prescribe treatments that are Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved. Their state medical boards may fine them heavily, suspend their license to practice or even revoke it.

The federal government can close them down and confiscate their property and they may lose their right to see patients in hospitals not to mention other doctors/peers
openly ridicule and criticize them. It is no wonder your doctor will not know or tell you about alternative cancer treatments, because they could literally lose everything they have and worked for their whole lives.

There are many alternative treatments for cancer that will not provide Big Pharma a single penny of revenue, much less profits. This means these same treatments will not provide the media with a single penny of revenue. Guess which treatments the media pushes?

There is a war going on in medicine today; a war between orthodox medicine and alternative medicine. The war is being fought with money and information. The war is to control what you know, and don’t know, about cancer treatments. When a new discovery is made, it comes down to the profitablity. If there is no profit, the treatment is buried.

Find a natural substance that cures something, bury this fact, then fabricate, synthesize, and mutate the key natural substance, then patent the mutation, and make huge profits.

That is why there is “no scientific evidence” for alternative treatments, no one is looking, because they cannot be patented and thus are not profitable enough. The reason there is no official “scientific evidence” for alternative cancer treatments and cancer prevention treatments is that they are not highly profitable to Big Pharma. It is impossible, by law, for a substance to be considered to have “scientific evidence” unless Big Pharma submits it to the FDA, and they will only submit things that are very, very profitable to them.

To the cancer establishment, a cancer patient is a profit center. The actual clinical and scientific evidence does not support the claims of the cancer industry. Conventional cancer treatments are in place as the law of the land because they pay, not heal, the best. Decades of the politics-of-cancer-as-usual have kept you from knowing this, and will continue to do so unless we wake up to their reality.

Breast Cancer

 

 

 

By Shane Fallas

Breast cancer is a dangerous disease that is affecting many women today. One of the most important strategies to do to survive breast cancer, is get an early detection and treatment promptly. That means doing your monthly self exams, and getting yearly check ups at the doctors office. If you are in denial and think that it won’t happen to you, think again. It can happen to anyone, even in males.

The different techniques, used today, has advanced over the years. Let’s take a look at some advantages we have to detect early stage of breast cancer through Medical review. Mammography with Computer Aided Detection: Mammograms are a great way to catch any early detection of cancer. Mammography is a an x-ray film of the breasts that is read by a Radiologist that checks to see if there is any abnormal findings. The Computer Aided Detection is a process that is computer based and it analyzes the mammogram for any abnormal tissue and shows the Radiologist where the abnormal tisse is, if there is any located.

Digital Mammography Digital Mammography is a tool used to record an image of an x-ray of the breasts. The images are shown on a monitor and the doctors are able to enhance or manipulate the image for detection, before they print the image out on film.

Ultrasound Ultrasounds are a high-frequency sound wave that produces pictures called sonograms. These help the Doctors to distinguish if a lump or abnormal tissue is a tumor or a cyst. Ultrasounds are not only used as a diagnostic image, but also to help guide biopsy procedures of breast tissue, like fine needle aspirations. Ultrasounds are usually done after the result of an abnormal mammogram that might show micro calcifications or other abnormal tissue.

MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imagining) MRI’s is a procedure done that doesn’t use radiation. There is a magnet that is connected to a computer that then creates the images of what is inside the body. When a breast MRI is obtained there are a lot of images that are created from front to back, top to bottom and side to side. The patient gets on the scanning table and lie on their stomach. The breasts hang into a hollow in the table that has coils that detect any type of magnetic signal. Then the patient is moved into the tube like machine that has the magnet. This helps to improve any cancerous tumor visibility.

A radiologist reads the results of MRI’s also Fine Needle Aspirations A fine needle aspiration distinguishes what type of tumor the patient has. There are solid tumors and liquid-filled tumors; which are cysts. How the procedure works is the doctor takes a fine needle and inserts it into the location of the tumor. The fluid in the tumor is then removed and sent to laboratory to see if the tumor has cancerous cells or not.

Surgical Biopsy Surgical biopsies are usually done if the mass is a solid tumor. There are two different types of surgical biopsies, excisional, and incisional. Incisional biopsies are performed by removing only a small portion of the abnormal tissue to be examined by a pathologist. With excisional biopsies the whole tumor is removed with a small amount of tissue surrounding it, and then sent to a pathologist to examine.

There are other procedures that are used for detection of breast cancer. The techniques that are listed above are the most common procedures used for patients today. Newer diagnostic imaging and techniques are being developed that are guaranteed to catch early detection and identify patients that are at a high risk of breast cancer.

Infrared Thermographic Imaging is a new discovery that picks up any subtle changes that have occurred in the breast pathology. Another new advancement for early detection is Gamma imaging camera that is used with an MRI that can pick up a cancerous tumor that is within the breast.

There are always new advances in technology that will help improve the techniques to find early detection of breast cancer. One of these days there will be a cure, but for now concentrate on getting early detection before it becomes too late. Please Visit http://www.getbreastcancerhelp.info

I am new to this and like writing interesting article tell me what you think and Please Visit http://www.getbreastcancerhelp.info
