Unless you have been living in a cave for the past several years, you have probably encountered many of the breast cancer awareness days that have been happening in various communities around the country. These are put on by local groups and the American Cancer Society for a very good reason — to raise your breast cancer awareness level.

You may be asking yourself why should my awareness be raised, since I am already familiar with the possibility of breast cancer. The big problem is that there is not a known cure at this point for breast cancer, so your best defense is early detection and early diagnosis. Someone who has been diagnosed with breast cancer in its very early stages has a significantly higher chance of being able to beat it with the treatments that are available today.

Did you know that the American Cancer Society estimates that there will be more than 200,000 reported cases of breast cancer this year? The number of reported cases is rising every year, but for some reason, there are also many people who do not take this disease seriously. Believe it or not, there are some women who have gone more than 4 or 5 years without an examination, which is just asking for trouble. If they develop breast cancer in the meantime, it will clearly not qualify as an “early detection” and it could be fatal for them.

Did you know that breast cancer is not limited to women? That’s right, the American Cancer Society estimate that approximately 1600 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year, and that about 400 of them will die from it.

You should become aware of the typical symptoms of breast cancer and be sure to see your doctor if any of those symptoms occur. For women, a checkup should be planned at least once every 2 or 3 years, and over age 40, at least every year. You may want to have exams more often if there is a history of breast cancer in your family, although studies to date are inconclusive as to whether or not breast cancer can be termed hereditary.

Raise your breast cancer awareness levels and get those checkups. Be aware of the symptoms and if you see any of them, be sure to get an exam soon. Remember, the best chances for beating breast cancer are early detection and early diagnosis.

Raise your breast-cancer-explained.com/breast_cancer_awareness.php Breast Cancer Awareness level by knowing what it is, when to get checkups, when to be concerned, and what the symptoms are.

Ovarian germ cell tumors are a disease in which cancer cells form in the egg cells of the ovary. These tumors typically begin in the reproductive cells of the body. This form of ovarian cancer typically occurs in teenager girls or young women and usually only effects one of the ovaries not both.

It is difficult to find ovarian germ cell tumors early. There is usually no symptoms in the early stages of this cancer. However, they can be found on regular gynecologic examines which is why regular checkups are so important. If a woman has abdominal swelling without weight gain in other places should be tested right away as well as those who have vaginal bleeding after their menopause.

There are several tests and procedures that may be done to detect ovarian germ cell tumors. The most common of these is the pelvic exam. Another procedure is a laparotomy which is a surgical procedure. A lymphangiogram is a process that use x-rays. A CT scan can also be done to look for tumors. Blood tests are also helpful for checking AFP and HCG levels which can be signs of ovarian germ cell tumors if they are found at increased levels.

The chance of recovery with ovarian germ cell tumors and treatment options depends largely on five things. One the type of cancer. Two the size of the ovarian tumor. Third the stage the cancer is in and whether or not it affects the whole ovary or just parts and whether or not it has spread to other parts of the body. Fourth is how the cancer cells appear under a microscope. Fifth is the overall general health of the person. Most of the time if ovarian germ cell tumors are found early they can be treated.

This article will tackle the cause of two pandemic forms of cancer, cancer of the prostate and colon cancer. Scientists have determined that prostate cancer is an epidemic so vast that nearly one autopsy in two of older men reveals the presence of this cancer. Fortunately, this cancer is usually so slow growing that most men die of other causes, even as the cancer grows slowly within the prostate gland. Yet deaths by prostate cancer and the debilitating effects of prostate surgery still affect thousands of families today. In addition, nonmalignant enlargement of the prostate afflicts millions of American men with such symptoms as painful and frequent urination. As a therapist who specializes in discovering the underlying causes of disease, I have discovered, once again, the reasons for this pandemic can be found in the cultural habits of our society.

First, let’s ask the obvious question: what is the prostate’s job in a healthy individual? Although prostate conditions including cancer usually show up as problems with urination, the prostate gland is mainly about sex. The prostate’s job is to mix sperm with its own liquid secretions to produce semen, then through contractions associated with male orgasm, it propels this semen into the penis. When I have worked with men who have any prostrate condition I nearly always find that these men feel subconsciously frustrated and often guilty about their sexual behavior. Each case has unique elements. Therefore I will not claim that it is always one particular feeling or trauma. But my experience is that it always is about sex.

One client feels guilty about years of being unfaithful to his wives. Another feels remorse over years of visiting prostitutes, and having meaningless sex. Still another feels badly that he had sex with a wife he didn’t really love. So far I have not met any man whose prostate is complaining because it didn’t get enough sex. While I can’t rule out this possibility, it seems that wasting of one’s procreative life force is the issue which is locked into the prostates of most of my clients. (Incidentally, I always use open ended questions, and never use direct suggestion or leading questions in my work with cancer patients in order to minimize the influence of my own beliefs on the subconscious minds of my clients. In addition, when I began this research, I had no clue as to what might be found in the prostates of my clients)

This discovery of loose sexual behavior among the vast majority of my prostate clients is consistent with the “sexual revolution” of the 1970s, in which sex went from being a form of recreation reserved exclusively for married couples, at least theoretically, to becoming a free for all. The Playboy philosophy, birth control, and the hippie and women’s lib movements combined to create unprecedented opportunities for men and women alike to spread their seeds to the four winds. While I too had the chance to celebrate and enjoy this new freedom, it is our prostate glands, concerned with such “obsolete” concepts as romantic love, families, and children that I have discovered are in rebellion among so many men today.

As a hypnotherapist it is my job to listen to this prostate gland in a way that the client has never done. Indeed most clients are shocked to discover this throwback to conservative values living inside their bodies. Sometimes tears of remorse, dedication to a new lifestyle, even acts of atonement performed for women can help heal this condition. At other times, committing oneself to seeking a loving partner, even to reaching out to ones lost or grown children has proved valuable. I really don’t know what my client’s prostate needs to heal itself … but fortunately that prostate always does.

Another kind of cancer epidemic is colon cancer. Well, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out the why of this epidemic either. We know that the colon is the place where waste is produced, and the water we need is pulled out. I have occasionally found unprocessed waste emotions in the colon, including anger, of which the client is often in denial. One client of mine who suffered severe ulcerative colitis screamed at me in a purple faced rage “Damn it! I am NOT angry!!” when I attempted to point out, very politely, what I was feeling from him. Even residual traumas from toilet training can be found in there sometimes.

But the culturally common causes of colon cancer I have found is connected to the diet and lifestyle choices pursued by most Americans. All of these eating habits have been scientifically proven to have debilitating effects on the colon: large amounts of animal fat in the diet, too much melted cheese and white flour products, all of which stick like glue to the colon walls, where they rot and produce inflammation, too little vegetable fiber, including the raw roughage like lettuce and carrots that clean the colon like a bottle brush, and too little water. (okay, how many of you really drink the 8 glasses a day minimum recommended by doctors?) Also critically dangerous to the colon is our lifestyle choice of sitting for most of every day on our sedentary butts. Remember that as a species homo sapiens evolved to spend many hours every day in physical movement.

So any proposed solution to this epidemic requires a radical revision of our diet and lifestyle. Fortunately the services of a clinical nutritionist and hypnotherapist can be combined to make the transition to a healthy diet and lifestyle much easier. Hypnosis can help build motivation for exercise and can help strengthen our new dietary choices. It can also help uncover and heal the emotions that are stored in the colon. Combined with the latest in medical treatments, such methods offer far more promise for recovery than we could have hoped for 20 years ago.

The Doctor Who Cures Cancer was published in 1997 as a hardcover book. When I saw used copies selling for as high as $570 on Amazon.com the other day, it occurred to me, as the author, that many people would still want to have access to the information at a more realistic price.

That shouldn’t be so surprising. For instance, Dr. Seymour Brenner, who was a board certified radiation oncologist said in the foreword to The Doctor Who Cures Cancer that Dr. Revici had cured many people of cancer who were considered to be incurable up until Revici treated them.

To make it possible for those who are interested in discovering more about Dr. Revici and about applying his method, the book is now available online in an eBook format.

Those who do will meet a Harvard educated physician who got diagnosed with a deadly brain tumor. His prognosis was 2 to 4 months. He turned to Revici when no one else had any answers. His cancer-free survival has been extended 44 years beyond the original estimate!

In the book, you’ll discover that the brain tumor patient is but one of many who have experienced amazing reversals of their cancer due to Revici’s treatment. Not so surprisingly, Revici’s unique treatment method caused quite a stir and got him into a great deal of trouble.

Then you can decide for yourself if Revici is indeedThe Doctor Who Cures Cancer.

PS. Since making the decision to release the book online, I got a call asking me if I was willing to have a movie made from the book. Where that will go is too early to tell. But it reaffirmed my decision to go forward with the new format.
