Cancer Treatment Reviews

To successfully treat breast cancer therapies must be designed individually and strategically in order to outsmart the disease and restore a patient’s health. The problem is that many treatments are so invasive and aggressive that they can destroy the health of the patient along with the disease. However, new developments in breast cancer treatment are showing promise as less invasive options that can help a patient fight cancer and protect the integrity of their health at the same time.

New Targeted Radiation Therapies Kill Cancer Cells and Protect Healthy Tissue

Radiation is the standard form of care after breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy) for women under 70 years of age, and there are several options that are being studied and are currently available in some facilities. Intra-operative Radiation (IOP), for example, is a technique that applies radiation to the affected area during surgery. The radiation is focused directly on the surgical field and spares surrounding healthy tissue. This is a highly desirable option, as it can replace the typical 5-6 weeks of post-lumpectomy radiation usually recommended, but not every individual is a candidate.

Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation (APBI) is another approach being developed that uses small catheters that are inserted into the cavity left by the lumpectomy procedure. There are several systems being used with different variations in equipment and technique. This is a form of brachytherapy, which uses radioactive seeds to deliver the radiation. Five days of this technique replaces six weeks of whole breast radiation, greatly limiting the exposure of healthy tissue to radiation. This can be a significant advantage, particularly for women with left -sided breast cancer, as the usual whole breast radiation technique can impact heart tissue as well as the lungs, ribs and skin.

Freeze Cancer in its Tracks

Cryotherapy is a technique that uses a probe to freeze the abnormal and surrounding tissue, and has been used for many years in treating cervical dysplasia and prostate cancer. Application to breast cancer lesions is a new development for this therapy, but it has the potential to become a less invasive option than surgical removal for treating early breast cancer. Researchers at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center conducted a study last year using mice with breast cancer lesions and found that rapid freezing not only killed the tumors, but generated an immune response that helped stop further spreading. This result ultimately led to improved survival when compared to surgery. Cryotherapy treatment for breast cancer is currently available in a limited number of centers throughout the United States.

A brain tumor occurs when there is an abnormal level of cell growth within the brain. A brain tumor can be either benign or malignant; these being non-cancerous and cancerous tumors respectively. Brain cancer is extremely serious and once had a very low rate of survival, but recent medical advancements have increased the chances of the survival.

One of the largest problems with brain cancer in certain countries is actually receiving the needed treatment. Costs are very expensive and it is difficult to find coverage. The hospitals, insurance companies, and financial aid organizations put up far too much red tape that must be gone through, and precious time is wasted. People are forced to wait far too long while their claim is still pending, and many are eventually denied help.

A miracle for some people has been the treatment for brain cancer abroad. In North America and some European countries, the waiting time for treatment and overall cost is so overwhelming that it negatively affects the odds of survival. But there are many foreign countries where patients can receive treatment at a much faster and reliable speed, and at more reasonable costs.

Getting treatment abroad does not mean that you will have to receive less effective treatment. There are many foreign countries with highly capable medical centers with professionals who were trained in the United Kingdom or the United States and have a good rate of success with cancer treatments.

Another great benefit of getting treatment abroad is that patients can visit new and exciting places while receiving care. It helps the patient to be more relaxed, optimistic, and happy during this time. There’s no point spending every moment worrying. A change in scenery, beautiful sights, exiting things to do and see, and knowing that you’re now receiving the treatment that you need, can help keep you in a positive mind-set. Continue Reading

Every cell in your entire body is replaced within one year. This means you are a whole new you in one year. The problem is if you keep doing what you have always done, you will get what you have always had, a physically as well as mentally/emotionally toxic, out of balance body that is prone to symptoms, conditions and diseases including cancer.

What is detoxification? It is simply ridding the body of chemicals, toxins and waste products that will cause premature cell death if not cleared from the body. If these toxins build up to high levels and enter the cells then they can cause the cells to dedifferentiate into cancer stem cells. If this occurs alternative cancer treatment becomes vital to restore ones health.

As you fast, you eliminate these three:
1. Toxins and chemicals
2. Non-vital tissue
3. Pathogens

Once you start to fast, the garbage that has been stored in your cells for the last 30-40 years finally has a chance to be released. This begins with toxins, chemicals, and drugs stored in the tissues. Then you begin to eliminate all the non-vital tissue, the cysts, tumors, edematous fluid and finally all the harmful bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi and any other pathogens are removed by your white blood cells or they simply die because they are no longer being fed.

The old is gone, the new has come. First, you need to remove all the old cells and tissues that have been filled with chemicals, toxins and pathogens. Next the new cells and tissues are rebuilt in a pure (toxin and chemical free) state. Since every cell in the body is replaced within one year if you plant new seeds today, you will get a new harvest within one year. Stomach cells are replaced within days, liver cells within 6 weeks, blood cells within 3 months and brain cells within one year. Continue Reading
