Making Cancer.---- Over 100 years ago cancer began to be suspected that a cancer was nothing but a wrong growth of tissue or flesh: these two words meaning about the same thing. It has been proven and shown conclusively that every cancer is a mass of tissue that has a wrong formation.

Tissue growth is most easily made experiment, using to start with a piece of flesh or tissue, and feeding the same with pure blood, which means blood composed of the elements that make the body.
When this is fed to live tissue, the latter absorbs it just as a hungry animal absorbs food that it relishes. The tissue goes on growing and adding to its own structure by perfect weaving of flesh.

Now breathe on the blood the thinnest possible mixture of air and tobacco smoke, and the tissue curls up and weaves an abnormal growth exactly like that found in cancer.

Cancer is one of the biggest killers around the world. In America alone, 25% of all deaths are related to cancer.
Many people think of cancer as a single problem but in fact, it is a number of problems spread throughout the body. Generally speaking, if cancer is caught in the early stages of development, it can be treated and cured.
 

Although there are several different types of cancer, the most common ones are Lung, Prostate, Breast, Testicular, Skin and Colon cancers.

Genes control the multiplication and growth of cells. If these genes are defective in the first place, then the cells will not be able to grow or divide properly. As a result of this abnormality, cancerous cells are born.

There are a number of factors which cause cancer. Factors which are controllable by humans are smoking, toxic elements and radiation. These can be controlled to some degree and therefore it would be wise to avoid them by changing lifestyle habits. However, there are certain elements which are outside our control.
These include mutation and inherited DNA.

As a result of studies conducted by the American Cancer Society, more than 180,000 people have died as a direct result of smoking. Another 200,000 people have died due to lack of changing lifestyle habits. Obesity, laziness and malnutrition can have an effect on the growth of cancer. Needless to say, cancer has risen by more than 50% since 1995.

Let's take a look at some of these cancer causes in more detail.

Smoking: The most prevalent and easily avoidable type of cancer is the one caused by the use of tobacco. This includes the use of cigarettes, cigars and pipes. Even though smokers are addicted to nicotine, the fact that 200,000 people die every year due to smoking caused cancer should be enough motivation to quit. Some experts say that cessation of smoking can increase lifespan by up to 20 years.

Although nothing has been proven, studies indicate that stress may also be a contributing factor to cancer. Many cancer patients are also employed in stressful jobs. Some theologians believe that stress lowers the bodies immunity to cancer.

Exercise and Healthy Eating: Healthy eating and exercise is universally known to be beneficial in many aspects. But, many people don't know that food full of nutrition can reduce the risk of cancer. Specific foods such as fruit and veg can help prevent cancer whilst fatty foods such as meat can increase the likelihood of cancer.

Skin cancer can easily be avoided by simply listening to good advice. Wear sunglasses, hats, sun cream and other sensible items of clothing to avoid the onset of this type of cancer. Although this may seem like common sense, more than one million people have been diagnosed with skin cancer in a single year.

In summary, some cancers can be avoided. New research and studies are being conducted all the time. So, rather than concentrating on how to treat cancer patients, maybe we should all be looking for more ways to prevent the cancer in the first place.

Being diagnosed with breast cancer is a life-changing event. A torrent of feelings wash over the survivor. Suddenly, the world feels like an unsafe place. Little things seem unimportant to the survivor. And the big things, like life, seem tenuous. Knowing the emotional responses she is experiencing will help friends, family and fellow survivors support and nurture her, and each other. She needs to be encouraged to fully feel and express each of her feelings.

The most helpful thing you can do is “just stand there” while she goes through the range of emotions. Often we try to “fix” or stop the flow of feelings so we don’t experience the pain and discomfort. But transformation and healing occur when feelings are felt and honored, not when they are repressed or denied.

Here are some emotions you might witness:

1. Shock and Disbelief

"There must be some mistake. It can't be happening to me! I'm healthy. I take care of myself!" Disbelief is one of the most prevalent first emotional responses.

2. Overwhelm

Breast cancer survivors are faced with many critical decisions. Often there is a time pressure to make treatment decisions. It helps to have support with research about traditional, alternative and complementary treatment options.

3. Fear

"Am I going to die? Will I be disfigured? Will you still love me? Will I love myself?" These are the major questions hovering in the dark recesses of the survivor's mind. It helps tremendously to bring them up for discussion.

4. Worry

"How sick will I be? Who will take care of the children? How will I deal with loss of income? Will I lose my job?" Once the first wave of personal survival questions are dealt with, these questions wear on the survivor's mind.

5. Anger

"Why me? I don't deserve this! I don't have time or money to deal with this!" Anger, if not expressed, is the most insidious of all emotions. In itself, repressed anger can create disease. Having a healthy outlet for these feelings needs to be part of the breast cancer patient's treatment program.

6. Resentment

" I'm not the one this should be happening to! I eat well, exercise, get mammograms, take vitamins! Why should I have to suffer with this disease!" Often there is no logical explanation for the onset of cancer. It's natural that feelings of resentment may arise.

7. Loneliness

"No one ever is here for me. I'm all alone. I have no friends I can count on. I feel so alone!" Even when family and friends are around to help, often survivors feel isolated and alone. They are unable to ask for the help they want and need.

8. Sadness

Sadness prevails when any loss is imminent. Tears may flow profusely as the loss of precious body parts is contemplated. The thought of further illness from chemo treatments may seem unbearable. She needs gentle comfort and frequent reassurance.

9. Misunderstood

She may feel that nobody is listening or really understands her. In actuality, no one else can really understand what she is going through. Every person's experience is unique. Honor her and her uniqueness. Give her space to express her feelings and thoughts.

10. Hopefulness

Seen as a learning opportunity, the breast cancer experience could create a feeling of hope for an entirely new and different life, one filled with passion, fulfillment, joy and love. Knowing that life is ongoing, and only the body dies, can give great comfort during this otherwise stressful time.

It is never too late to improve your health through healthful eating and adopting a more health-giving lifestyle. Here are simple steps to follow which can make an immediate improvement to your health and vitality.

1. Check your Body Mass Index (BMI) to determine if weight has become health risk. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 60% of Americans are overweight, defined as having a BMI (a ratio of height to weight) over 25. Of those, nearly half (27%) qualify as obese, with a body mass index of 30 or more. In 1980, just 15% of Americans were considered obese. You can check your BMI at the website below.

2. Match your diet to your body’s requirements. If you eat and drink more calories than your body requires you will put on weight. Learn to control calories and portion sizes, make recipes leaner, and eat infrequently from fast food restaurants. Also learn how to snack with healthful choices.

3. Color your diet with a large variety of colorful, cancer-fighting fruit and vegetables. There are seven different color ranges of both fruit and vegetables and by choosing between 5 to 9 daily serves from a wide range of fruit and vegetables, we are extending our consumption of cancer (and other disease) fighting nutrients.

4. Eat lean protein with every meal. Protein provides a powerful signal to the brain providing a longer sense of fullness. The right source of protein is essential to controlling your hunger with fewer calories and necessary to maintain your lean muscle mass. Choices of protein should be flavored soy shakes with fruit; the white meat of chicken and turkey, seafood such as shrimps, prawns scallops and lobster and ocean fish or vegetarians may prefer soy based meat substitutes.

5. Rev up your metabolism with activity. If you want to enjoy a lifetime of well-being, exercise is a key ingredient. Colleen Doyle, MS, RD, director of nutrition and physical activity for the American Cancer Society (ACS), says adults should do something for 30 minutes each day that takes as much effort as a brisk walk. Children should be active for an hour each day. We are more likely to develop habits around things we enjoy, so seek activities which you enjoy doing. It is also helpful to build physical activity into your daily routine: use the stairs instead of the escalator or lift at work, park your car in the parking bay furthest from the super marketing and don’t use the remote control to change TV channels.

6. Get support to ensure you develop a healthful eating plan and reach your goal weight. Whilst a small percentage of people possess the discipline to lose weight, many obese people have developed strong thoughts and habits concerning the food they eat. In order to establish new habits, most people respond well to some form of consistent encouragement and coaching. A study, “Effects of Internet Behavioral Counseling on Weight Loss in Adults at Risk of Type 2 Diabetes” shows that participants who had the support of weight loss coaching lost more weight than those who didn’t. The study concluded that the support of a weight loss coach can significantly improve weight loss results.

Being overweight or obese has been identified next to smoking, as the most preventable major risk to developing cancer. Even small weight losses have been shown to have beneficial health effects. So it’s never to late to start and you can never be too young or too old to be concerned about your health and do something about achieving a more healthy weight.

We hear it all the time…lose weight for your health. Few people however, realize the extent to which this is critical to their physical well-being and ultimately their life expectancy.

In January 2003, the Journal of the American Medical Association featured a study finding that obesity appears to lessen life expectancy, especially among young adults. The researchers compared Body-Mass Index (BMI) to longevity and found a correlation between premature death and higher BMIs. For example, a 20-year-old white male, 5’10” weighing 288 pounds with a BMI of greater than 40 was estimated to lose 13 years of his life as a result of obesity.

Jamie McManus, M.D., F.A.A.F.P. and author of “Your Personal Guide to Wellness” notes that while this study referenced extreme levels of obesity, there are still millions of overweight people in developed countries with a life expectancy rate that is three to five years less than their healthy-weight counterparts. She also estimates that there are 600,000 obesity related deaths each year in America.

Just how does obesity shorten our lifespan? The answer to this question is complex, yet there is a clear link between obesity and the development of cancer. An extensive study conducted by the American Cancer Institute involving 750,000 people showed that obesity significantly increased the risk of cancer developing in the following organs: breast, colon, ovaries, uterus, pancreas, kidneys and gallbladder.

Michael Thun, MD, vice-president of epidemiology and surveillance research for the American Cancer Society (ACS) says one reason obesity may raise cancer risk is because fat cells produce a form of estrogen called estradiol that promotes rapid division of cells, increasing chances of a random genetic error while cells are replicating, which can lead to cancer. In addition, fat centered around the abdomen may increase insulin and insulin-like growth factors in the blood, which may increase cancer risk.

"Women who are obese after menopause have a 50% higher relative risk of breast cancer," notes Thun, "and obese men have a 40% higher relative risk of colon cancer…. Gallbladder and endometrial cancer risks are five times higher for obese individuals”.

There is evidence that cancer rates in developed countries are increasing at 5 to 15 times faster than developing countries. A major contributor to this alarming reality has proven to be diet. In populations where the diet consists mostly of fresh fruit and vegetables and whole grains – in contrast to the typical Western diet of fatty meats, refined flours, oils and sugars – the risk of cancer is much lower.

The interaction of diet and the development of cancer is an active field of research and Dr David Heber, M.D., Ph.D. and author of “What Color is Your Diet”, says “It appears that diet has its most significant effects after the cancer has already formed, acting to inhibit or stimulate the growth of that cancer”. At the risk of oversimplifying a complex set of interactions, the typical Western diet that leads to obesity may actually act to stimulate the growth of cancer cells.

Fat. You want to eat less of it, maybe even eliminate it from your diet. Not so fast. While you shuld avoid certain fats, some varieties are actually good for you.
Katherine Tallmadge,M.A.,R.D., a spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association, says certain fat are sources of energy and provide nutrients that help regulate blood pressure, heart rate and nervous system.
"We do need fats,"Tallmadge says."But there are healthy fats and unhealthy fats,"so it's important to understand the difference.

THE GOOD....
Healthy fats fall into two categories: monounsaturated fats, which remain liquid at room temperature, include olive, canola and peanut oils. In addition, avocados and most nuts contain large concentrations of monounsaturated fats, which have been shown to lower the risk of coronary heart disease.

Polyunsaturated fats are typically liquid at room temperature and in the refrigerator. Two classes of polyunsaturated fats include omega-3 and omega-6fatty acids. Omega-3 are found in such foods as salmon, walnuts and flaxseed."Omega-3s are important for the heart and brain,"Tallmadge says.

And according to some preliminary research, healthy omega-6fats,found in nonhydrogenated vegetable and seed oils(safflower and sunflower oils,for example) and whole grains, may help improve rheumatoid arthritis and skin disorders such as psoriasis and eczema.
.....AND THE BAD
Unhealthy fats are generally solid at room temperature and include animal fats, found in butter, whole milk dairy products and red meat, and man-made fats in magarine and shorthening. saturated fat and trans fat are in this category."These fats raise LDL cholesterol(the"bad"cholesterol)and clog arteries,"Tallmadge says.

The National Academy of Sciences recommends a daily fat intake of no more than 35 percent of total calories. Tallmadge emphasize looking at the type of fats in food instead of total fat content. "Look for foods that are low in saturated and zero in trans fat,"she says. "Total fat isn't so meaningful."

THE SUGAR-DIABETES CONNECTION

Sugar does not cause diabetes. Many people believe that sugar is the prime cause of this condition. This is a typical case of confusing the treatment of the disease with the cause. An example given is, you take an aspirin for the headache but the headache was not caused by a lack of aspirin in your body. The aspirin treats your headache. 

Similarly, when a low-sugar diet is recommended to diabetes patients is does not mean a high-sugar intake was the cause of their diabetes in the first place. A review on sugar in the US Surgeon-General's Report concluded that sugar, at current intake level, is not the cause of diabetes.The report acknowledges that excessive sugar intake does cause dental cavities but not diabetes. The major factor implicated in the increased incidences of diabetes Type II (non-insulin dependent) is obesity. Meanwhile Type I diabetes (insulin-dependent) is believed to be genetic. 

This type of diabetes is caused by a pancreas malfunction resulting in insufficient insulin levels in the body.authorities worldwide have urged people to adopt good lifestyle measures to reduce their risk. A balanced diet and regular exercise are essential components of good, healthy lifestyle. 

THE SUGAR-DIABETES CONNECTION  

Ginger is root plant that has long been popular throughout the world as healthful herb for healing, beverage, condiment herb for cooking and spicy herb for cake or cookies. Ginger root is actually a rhizome, a root-like underground stem. Ginger is the common name for the monocotyledonous perennial plant Zingeber officinale roscoe.

Allergy (AL ur jee) is the body's over reaction to substance. Substances that cause allergies are allergen. Allergens are substances that cause the body to over react. Allergens include foods, animals and plants.

ALLERGENS AROUND US
The allergen (foreign substance that provokes a reaction) can be food, dust particle, a drug, insect venom, or mold spore, as well as pollen.

Allergens you may breathe:
POLLEN on wind tranis a powder from plants that can get into air. Pollen must be transferred from the flower of one plant to that of another plant of the same species. insect do this job for certain flowering plants, while other plants rely sport.
The type of pollen that most commonly cause allergic reactions are produced by the plain-looking plants (trees, grasses, and weeds) that do not have showy flowers.

DUST MITES are tiny insects that live in carpets, mattresses, and dust.both may cause watery eyes, sneezing, and a runny nose.
Allergens you may touch:
POISON IVY is a plant that cause an allergic reaction in some people.
DANDER is dead skin from animal fur or bird feathers. It may cause watery eyes or runny nose.

Allergens you may eat:
Some people have strong reactions to some foods, such as eggs, seafood, milk, and peanuts. These reactions in some people may cause a rash, a stomachache, diarrhea, and difficulty breathing.
PREVENTING AND TREATING ALLERGIES
The best way to prevent allergies is to avoid allergens. Doctors called allergists treat people with allergies. They may use medicines or give shots to treat allergies. In addition, shot are not always effective, and there is controversy about their use in bronchial asthma.

YOU CAN HELP YOURSELF AGAINS ALLERGIES
Avoiding Pollen Exposure or reduce you exposure to the things you are allergic to. Of course it's not as simple as it sounds . Allergens is everywhere.

Aloe Vera is Barbadensis Miller, Cactus species , a member of Lily Family (Liliaceae). They produce two or three yellow tubular flowers, shaped much like those of Easter Lily, and it flowers intermittently throughout the year. The leaves must growing standing up , it's that I called. The dagger-shaped aloe vera leaves grow from the base of the plant in rosette pattern. Their size are from one and a half to four feet tall and have an average of fifteen leaves.

• CARING ALOE VERA

Caring Aloe is easy if we already know about how to care it. Aloe vera that growing on sunny uotdoor is fine with moderate water . As a houseplant they just need little water , spray some water once or twice a week is one way to made the soil moisture and the plant fresh. Keep it on a sunny windowsill . They like lots of sun and a minimum temperature of 41 degree F. To propagate , separate and repot the rooted suckers at the plant's base.

• PLACE TO FOUND ALOE VERA

Aloe Vera juice or gel readily avaliable in all natural food stores, herb stores, some pharmacies and some groceries too. Aloe vera plants as a potted can found at most nurseries and some natural groceries.

• ESPECIALLY USING OF ALOE VERA

Aloe vera have many-many things goods for use, because they have alot of vitamin and mineral that we need it . It's treating skin, hair and inside our body. They restores the skin to its natural pH balance and gives skin a smoother appearance.

Pregnant women allowed using Aloe Vera only for external care . Treatment inside body with aloe juice or drinking Aloe Vera juice are not allowed for pregnant women or need ask a doctor .

MANY DEFINITIONS OF 'PROBIOTIC'

 

"Probiotic" means, literally, “for life.” As defined by the World Health Organization (WHO), a probiotic is a living microorganism that, when administered in adequate amounts, confers a health benefit on its host. Essentially, a probiotic is a culture that, if eaten in sufficient quantities, gives health benefits beyond basic nutrition. Anyone can take probiotics simply to maintain and balance of intenstial microflora. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are the most common type of microbus used. LAB have been used in the food industry for many years, because they are able to convert sugars (including lactosa) and other carbohydrates into lactic acid. This not only provides the characteristic sour taste of fermented dairy foods such as yoghurt, but act as a preservative, by lower pH and creating fewer opportunities for spoilage organism to grow. Strains of the genera Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, are two principal kinds of probiotic bacteria.

Probiotics are dietary supplements containing potentially beneficial bacteria or yeast. Probiotic help strenghten our body defenses.
For hundreds of a years dairy foods containing live cultures have been touted as having beneficial properties and scientific studies now support many of these claims. Increasing numbers of health-conscious people workwide are including those foods with functional benefits in their diets.

NATURAL PROBIOTICSProducts natural probiotics can found on dairy product such as yoghurt or milk product (cheese, butter or milk formula that contains lactit acid). Fruits, seeds or nuts and vegetables have natural probiotics too. Fermentation vegetable such as tempeh, miso, tamari have natural probiotics that good to consume it. We need probiotic from supplement or foods for healthy and strong body prevent from diarrhea or other intestines diggestion. 

 

Espesially with baby , only after 1 year old we can give them probiotics (supplement) to prevent them from diarrhea (most baby have this problem). Breast feeding or formula milk are have probiotic, but the breast feeding is the good one since they have a natural probiotics and other vitamin and mineral that important for the babies.

DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid.Omega-3 are polyunsaturated fatty acids which have been studied for their role in health and well-being. Omega-3s come in three major forms: DHA, EPA and ALA. Although it's found in most tissues throughout the body, the highest concentrations of DHA are in the brain, nervous system and retina of the eye. DHA has also been shown to help promote hearth health.The more DHA that is consumed in the diet, the more DHA is available for these tissues.
DHA come from DHA appears in highest concentrations in fatty fish, walnut, but is becoming increasingly available in fortified foods like Horizon Organic Milk Plus DHA Omega-3, which uses life's DHA, a sustainable plant-based vegetarian DHA.
Studies have shown that DHA, found naturally in breast milk an as added supplement in most infant formulas.
Why is DHA important for kids?Kid's brains grow incredibly fast. In fact, the brain nearly quadruples in size in the first five years of life. Up to 20 percent of the human brain is made of DHA, yet most kids don't get the recommended DHA from common dietary sources like fish. By choosing products fortified with DHA, parents bring home all the goodness of their children's favorite foods, plus an extra nutritional boost for their growing minds and bodies.
