Cancer is one of those words that everyone dreads. There are various types of cancer and any type of cancer is really bad news. All types of cancer are life threatening (this is what makes them so dreadful). Even with all that medical advancement we still don’t have a complete cure for all types of cancer. However, there is continuous research going-on for finding better treatments for cancer and to increase our knowledge on cancer in general. Though there are treatments currently available for some types of cancer, these treatments work only if the cancer is discovered in early stages.

Types of cancer

Generally, cancer is named after the part of the body in which it originates. Most common types of cancer are breast cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer and colorectal cancer. Though, this might vary across geographies etc, these four types of cancer seem to be the more notorious ones. The other types of cancer include: cervical cancer, pancreatic cancer, bone cancer, brain cancer, skin cancer, stomach cancer, bladder cancer, colon cancer, liver cancer and testicular cancer. Besides this, cancer is also classified as primary and secondary based on whether it originated in that body part itself or spread from another body part.

Diagnosis of various types of cancer

It’s not just the treatment of various types of cancer that is difficult (or impossible) but also their detection (or diagnosis). In fact, correct and timely diagnosis is the first step towards treatment of any type of cancer. The earlier you are able to detect cancer, the more effective is its treatment.

Treatment of various types of cancer

Though the treatment of all types of cancers is not possible, some types of cancer can be treated if they are diagnosed early enough e.g. detection of malignancy when it has just started to develop. The treatment for cancer is carried out in many different ways. These range from surgery to radiotherapy, chemotherapy and biologic therapies. Hormone therapies are also gaining popularity for treatment of some types of cancer. Transplantation of bone marrow and many other new procedures for treatment of cancer are being constantly tried and analysed in order to get a fail-proof treatment for cancer.

Research on diagnosis on various types of cancer

The huge number of deaths that are caused every year by various types of cancer has lead to a lot of focus being put into the research on diagnosis and treatment of all types of cancer. Meanwhile, we can just hope that there will soon be a complete cure available for the most common types of cancer (if not all types of cancer).

While doing research on Nutrition, the Himalayan Goji berry also known as Goji juice in the western world. I came across study case documents of how this amazing plant is benefiting patients with all forms of cancer, not just leukemia and lymphoma cancer.

Here are the findings of Wuhan China.

School of Life Science and Technology, Huazhong University of Science and Technology China.
Wuhan 430074, China.

The effect and the mechanism of Lycium barbarum polysaccharide (LBP-X) on inhibiting the growth of human leukemia HL-60 cells were examined. LBP-X(20, 100, 500, 1000 mg/L) could inhibit the growth of HL-60 cells in dose-dependent manner and decrease the membrane fluidity of the cell. Agarose gel electrophoresis of DNA from the cells treated with LBP-X revealed a “DNA ladder” and positive TUNEL test. The results showed that the apoptosis of HL-60 cells induced by LBP-X maybe its important mechanism on anti-tumorgenesis.

Second Military Medical University, Department of Microbiology, Shanghai.

Seventy nine advanced cancer patients in a clinical trial were treated with LAK/IL-2 combining with Lycium Barbarum polysaccharides (LBP). Initial results of the treatment from 75 evaluable patients indicated that objective regression of cancer was achieved in patients with malignant melanoma, renal cell carcinoma, colorectal carcinoma, lung cancer, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, malignant hydrothorax. The response rate of patients treated with LAK/IL-2 plus LBP was 40.9% while that of patients treated with LAK/IL-2 was 16.1% (P < 0.05). The mean remission in patients treated with LAK/IL-2 plus LBP also lasted significantly longer. LAK/IL-2 plus LBP treatment led to more marked increase in NK and LAK cell activity than LAK/IL-2 without LBP. The results indicate that LBP can be used as an adjuvant in the biotherapy of cancer.

Top world renowned Nutrition Herbalist and registered pharmacist, Dr. Earl Mindell who holds a PhD. in Nutrition studied this Himalayan Goji berry for 8 years to validate the claims of healing abilities of this extraordinary plant.

Dr Mindell is quoted as saying “I believe Himalayan Goji Juice has more powerful benefits on health and well-being than any other product I have seen in the last 40 years”. un-quote.

Here is a Poem Titled ” The Well of Youthful Living”.

A cool well beside the monks house, a clear spring feeds the well
and the water has great powers, emerald green leaves grow on the
wall, the deep red berries shine like cooper, the flourishing branch
like a walking stick, the old root in a dog’s shape signals good fortune,
the goji nourishes body and spirit, drink of the well and enjoy a long life

from the Tang Dynasty Poet.
Lin Yuxi (772-842 AD)

I hope that you find this information as informative as I have and although I and my family do not suffer from any form of cancer’s, my family, myself included do have health issuses we take Himalayan Goji Juice on a daylie bases, and just the over all feeling of well-being and increased stammina has given us all unbelievable results Our medicale problems that has plaqued my wife and myself are no longer issues.

It’s important to take cancer seriously because the number of cases is on the rise. A number of doctors have hypothesized that up to 60% of cancer deaths maybe prevented if several basic steps are implemented into your lifestyle. This article will discuss these basic steps in great detail.

-Hold The Fat. Researchers have found that a low fat diet reduces your risk for cancer of the prostate, breast and colon. It is recommended that you reduce even more dietary fat, to 32% or less. As a result, you’ll look and feel much better about yourself and lower certain cancer risks.

-Eat More Fruits And Vegetables. A study that was recently done stated that people who eat many fruits and vegetables on a daily basis have a lower cancer risk than those who eat just one serving, or none at all.

-Cut Out Tobacco. Approximately 430,000 lives are lost every year to tobacco use, and more than 166,000 are due to cancer. Just by stopping tobacco use and avoiding second hand smoke, you can immediately reduce your risk for cancer of the throat, lung, mouth, bladder, pancreas and kidney.

-Exercise Regularly. A healthy, fit and strong body has a much better chance of preventing many forms of cancer. Studies indicate that obesity has been linked to cancer of the ovaries, cervix, prostate, breast and colon. If you can’t make it to the gym don’t worry, just do some sort of exercise walking, jogging or even work around the house.

-Limit Alcohol Consumption. There is substantial evidence indicating that heavy alcohol use can increase your risk for cancer of the larynx, mouth and esophagus. Studies also show that heavy alcohol use can lead to cancer of the breast in women. Also, your cancer risk from alcohol increases when you smoke or even chew tobacco.

-Call Your Doctor. Cancer is a silent killer. In other words, cancer can spread without any noticeable symptoms. Cancer must be found early, this is when you have the best chance for a cure. Its important to be aware of any physical changes and get a physicals on a regular basis.

-Sun Protection. About 92% of skin cancers each year could have been prevented if skin protection was implemented correctly. Avoid skin exposure during peak hours of the day. Examine your skin on a regular basis and look for any changes in moles or discolorations.

I think this article is a very helpful way of getting across certain cancer preventable measures. Also, checkout the link below it will take you to even more information on cancer and other health diseases.

Tea drinkers will be happy to learn that they just might be protecting themselves against the risks of developing stomach and intestinal cancers. It appears that green tea can help fight gastrointestinal carcinogenesis. This is the process by which normal cells in the gastrointestinal tract can be transformed into cancer cells.

Green tea has been found to contain high levels of antioxidants which are considered very beneficial in the fight against cancer. Antioxidants are compounds that can oxidize very easily, or in other words sacrifice one of their molecules to carcinogens, which are compounds looking to steal molecules from normal, healthy cells. Carcinogens, or free radicals, in the body are considered cancer causing agents because they damage the body’s cells by stealing molecules. This can cause the cells to grow out of control, thus developing into cancer cells.

Green tea is thought to be extremely beneficial because the tea leaves are fresh and unfermented, thus preserving the antioxidants, called catechins, present in the leaves. The tea leaves come from the plant Camellia sinensis, which is the same plant that black tea comes from. The difference lies in how the leaves are treated. . The black tea leaves undergo the oxidation process, which oxidizes much of the specific antioxidants that are present in the green tea leaves. Of course, black teas have been found to contain many beneficial and unique antioxidants of their own, but do not contain the same amount of antioxidants as green tea.

These catechins found in green tea are considered better and stronger antioxidants than those found in black tea because they are water soluble and oxidize very easily, giving them a better chance of neutralizing free radicals before they have that chance to damage the body’s cells.

There are currently 30 epidemiological studies of green tea’s use in the prevention of cancer. However, there are very few studies on the treatment of preexisting cancers with green tea. A majority of the studies on green tea deal with whether the antioxidants present in the tea leaves help prevent gastrointestinal cancers.

One particular study on laboratory rats showed that 93.8% of a group of rats fed the extracted catechins from green tea survived after exposure to a strong mammary carcinogen (DMBA). This is compared to only 33.3% of the control group of rats not fed the protective catechins.

In another study was conducted on 1004 Chinese men: 190 of who had gastric cancer, 42 of whom had esophageal cancer, and 772 of whom were cancer free.

These men were studied over the course of 4 to 12 years. Those participants who were known to drink green tea on a regular basis showed a 50% lower risk of developing gastric and esophageal cancers. This is a significant difference. It basically means that 50% fewer participants in the tea drinker’s group developed cancer than of those in the group found not to drink tea on a regular basis.

There are a total of about eight studies that show drinking green tea on a regular basis can reduce the risk of stomach cancer. It’s possible that green tea is also more effective in the prevention of esophageal and stomach cancers because it moves through the intestinal tract and is in direct, prolonged contact with those tissues.

Many researchers are saying that it is still too early to state conclusively that green tea can help to protect its drinkers from developing gastrointestinal cancers or even help fight the cancer that has all ready developed. However, the current clinical studies look promising. Many tea drinkers claim the possible benefits of drinking green tea outweigh any small inconveniences.

Green tea has been used for hundreds of thousands of years in China and Japan. In fact, the numbers indicating the risks of developing gastrointestinal cancers in those two countries are among the lowest in the world

Not all green teas are the same. There is a wide variance among green teas concerning freshness, consistency, and concentration of the antioxidants in the teas. Information about the concentration of the antioxidants can sometimes be found on the packaging. It is best to find your preferred brand of green tea and stick to it, drinking the tea habitually.
