			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On 28 September 2006, I received an e-mail from a man seeking help for his wife. This is what he wrote:</p>
<p>I write this e-mail to you in order to seek your suggestion regarding my wife’s illness.</p>
<p>My wife had been diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) type M5 in late December 2005. I brought her to Singapore General Hospital (SGH) on 1 January 2006 for further management and <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/chemotherapy/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with chemotherapy">chemotherapy</a>. She had 3 cycles of chemotherapies in the first 3 months. Later she underwent a Bone Marrow Transplant procedure (BMT) in late April 2006 until mid May 2006. But unfortunately, on the 75th day after BMT, the <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/leukemia/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with leukemia">leukemia</a> cell relapsed. After that my wife had another cycle of <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/chemotherapy/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with chemotherapy">chemotherapy</a> and also received donor lymphocytes.</p>
<p>Due to financial consideration, I moved my wife for further treatment to Malaysia in mid August 2006. She was admitted into the Subang Jaya Medical Center (SJMC) until today. At SJMC she got another cycle of <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/chemotherapy/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with chemotherapy">chemotherapy</a> and received another donor stem cell on 12 August 2006.</p>
<p>But a week ago the <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/leukemia/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with leukemia">leukemia</a> cells were shown to be active again and they developed quickly before donor stem cells even could work. Five days ago my wife had another cycle of <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/chemotherapy/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with chemotherapy">chemotherapy</a> in order to reduce the white blood cell count.</p>
<p>I would like to find possible therapy and treatments that will be suitable for my wife. My wife and I are Indonesians. Within the next few days, I must make a decision whether to bring back my wife home to Jakarta or stay in Malaysia. I really need your help.</p>
<p>Comments</p>
<p>The above is a 33-year-old lady. Before her diagnosis she presented with the following symptoms: fevers for 1 to 2 weeks, gum pain and bleeding, headaches and diarrhea.</p>
<p>Over the years I have encountered many cases of bone marrow transplant (BMT). And all the cases that I know of resulted in death. There was this young lady of eighteen. She underwent BMT in Singapore. After spending so much money, her parents had to bring her home in a coffin. At her wake service, her mother said to me: “If we knew it is like this, we would have stuck to your advice!” She realized her mistake a bit too late!</p>
<p>I know of a person who had to spend well over 1.5 million ringgit (US$1 = 3.5 ringgit) to save his wife from <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/leukemia/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with leukemia">leukemia</a>. She too died. Then there was another young lady who just started to work after graduating from her studies in Australia. She had <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/leukemia/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with leukemia">leukemia</a> and she too underwent BMT. I was told (rightly or wrongly) that she died while on the “operation” table.</p>
<p>Tham is my patient who suffered from kidney <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/lymphoma/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with lymphoma">lymphoma</a>. After undergoing some initial chemo-treatment he decided to give up <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/chemotherapy/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with chemotherapy">chemotherapy</a> due to severe side effects. He opted for herbs. Within nine months, the cancer went into remission. Soon after he was pronounced cancer-free, his doctor suggested that Tham undergo BMT. According to the doctor with BMT he would live ten years longer. Tham declined after consulting me. The question I posed to Tham at that time was: “The aim of the doctor was to prolong his life for ten more years with BMT, but what was not taken into consideration was the risk of dying from BMT due to various complications.”  It has been eleven years since Tham was diagnosed with cancer. He is very much alive and well today. Tham is still taking the herbs.</p>
<p>In the case of the lady above, fortunately she did not die from the BMT procedure, but it did not cure her either. Much money had been spent on medical expenses. I only have this to say: Your life is in your hands. Decide wisely!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Diagnosis of <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/mesothelioma/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with mesothelioma">mesothelioma</a> is a difficult procedure. It is to analyze the symptoms in the initial stages. The symptoms of this rare disease make the diagnosis very difficult even to a doctor, since the symptoms would be very similar to other common diseases in the early stages of this deadly disease. Delay in the diagnosis is very common in most of the cases. As a matter of fact these symptoms can appear as non-specific to both the patient and their doctors.</p>
<p>A careful assessment is needed in the diagnosis of <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/mesothelioma/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with mesothelioma">mesothelioma</a> which relates both the clinical and radiological findings. The tissue biopsy is also confirmed carefully along with the above factors. The reviewing of the patient’s medical history can be very helpful to diagnose <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/mesothelioma/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with mesothelioma">mesothelioma</a>. Observation of the disease and the history includes details such as the patient’s asbestos exposure, the complete physical examination, x-ray results of the chest and abdomen, and the lung function tests.</p>
<p>A Computerized Tomography (CT) scan or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan may also be taken at this level. If the preliminary test results prove suspicious, then a biopsy is performed for confirming the diagnosis. The location of the cancer can be determined with the help of performing the biopsy. If the biopsy test confirms the presence of <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/mesothelioma/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with mesothelioma">mesothelioma</a>, the stage of the cancer is then determined. A series of tests are performed to determine the amount of cancerous cells that have spread.</p>
<p>If the test shows that the cancerous cells are not developed beyond the membrane, then the disease is considered to be localized. During this diagnosis procedure, various tests are performed such as the imaging tests, which includes the use of x-rays; CT (Computed Tomography) scans; MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging); PET (Positron Emission Tomography); bronchoscopy or mediastinoscopy, used to look into the affected area; cytology, used to test the pleural fluid after it is removed by a needle; thoracoscopy, used to look directly into the tumor; needle biopsy; and open biopsy. Those are the major tests that are performed during the <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/mesothelioma/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with mesothelioma">mesothelioma</a> diagnosis.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Causes of Breast CancerThe risk increases with your age. It may also be hereditary.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To diagnose a <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/lymphoma/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with lymphoma">lymphoma</a> case if very difficult because many of the <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/lymphoma/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with lymphoma">lymphoma</a> symptoms are similar to those of other medical conditions. However, based on the symptoms, you might suspect a <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/lymphoma/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with lymphoma">lymphoma</a> case and go see a doctor, where you will have a physical examination. Only through this thorough examination, and sometimes x- rays, your doctor can diagnose you with <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/lymphoma/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with lymphoma">lymphoma</a>.</p>
<p>When you go see your physician for an examination because you suspect a <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/lymphoma/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with lymphoma">lymphoma</a> case, here is what to expect: he/ she will start to palpate all your lymph nodes. They are situated in your neck, right under your chin, around your tonsils, your elbows, shoulders, in your groin area and under your arms. Besides this examination of these areas of your body in order to proper diagnose <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/lymphoma/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with lymphoma">lymphoma</a>, your doctor will also feel your abdomen and chest to see if there is any swelling there as well. Your liver and spleen will also be examined by palpation. If your doctor, after this examination, believes that there is a presence of <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/lymphoma/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with lymphoma">lymphoma</a>, further test will be made. The physical examination is just the beginning of the <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/lymphoma/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with lymphoma">lymphoma</a> diagnoses process. The test that are made after the examination serve to better determine if you indeed are suffering from <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/lymphoma/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with lymphoma">lymphoma</a> or not. A biopsy, x- rays, blood tests and scans are the next tests that you will have to take in order to be diagnosed with <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/lymphoma/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with lymphoma">lymphoma</a>. If the results in those <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/lymphoma/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with lymphoma">lymphoma</a> tests<br />
are inconclusive, then you will probably also have to take a bone marrow test.</p>
<p>Lymphoma symptoms are not enough to diagnose this disease, because they can also be associated with other diseases as well. However, they serve to give you an idea that something is wrong. Here are some of the most common symptoms of <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/lymphoma/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with lymphoma">lymphoma</a>:<br />
- swollen nodes, which are painless is the primary <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/lymphoma/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with lymphoma">lymphoma</a> sign;<br />
- anemia, loose of weight and fatigue also tell you that you might be suffering from <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/lymphoma/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with lymphoma">lymphoma</a>;<br />
- fever and sweating, mostly at night, for no apparent reason are also signs that indicate a <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/lymphoma/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with lymphoma">lymphoma</a> case;<br />
- shortness of breath and an annoying, persistent cough are also <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/lymphoma/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with lymphoma">lymphoma</a> symptoms;<br />
- itching, sometimes all over your body is one of the <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/lymphoma/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with lymphoma">lymphoma</a> signs as well;</p>
<p>There are also some other symptoms which can indicate a <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/lymphoma/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with lymphoma">lymphoma</a> case, but they are less common. Back pain or swollen tissues are some of the rare <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/lymphoma/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with lymphoma">lymphoma</a> symptoms. They appear because your lymph nodes can actually compress some of your nerves.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Asbestos exposure raises the chances of someone dying of lung by 700% compared to people who are not exposed the Asbestos. The risks of getting any type of <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/lung-cancer/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with lung cancer">lung cancer</a> is substantially higher for those who have been exposed to Asbestos in the past. A rare type of cancer that is to believed to be directly caused by Asbestos exposure is Malignant Mesothelioma. This type cancer directly attacks the lining of the lungs. It slowly kills the cells in this lining. Over time patients begin to get less oxygen absorbed into the bloodstream. The lack of oxygen can begin to have detrimental affects on many other ares of the body, including brain function for several years before the patient knows they have Malignant Mesothelioma.</p>
<p>The lining in the lungs is called the pleura. This is also the area that is infected in patients that have the disease pleurisy. Malignant Mesothelioma and pleurisy are in no way related and people who contract pleurisy should not think that they are at greater risk for Malignant Mesothelioma.</p>
<p>Asbestos was very commonly used for construction until around the 1950&#8217;s. At that time it was found that there was a link between Asbestos and cancer in the lungs. For asbestos to be dangerous a person must inhale the fiber particles such as would be released if you were sand it with sandpaper. Because of this fact there are still building today that contain Asbestos materials. It is believed that to remove it would actually increase the danger to the public for exposure. The removal would most likely cause the release of particles into the air.</p>
<p>Asbestos related <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/lung-cancer/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with lung cancer">lung cancer</a> has many of the same symptoms as other forms of <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/lung-cancer/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with lung cancer">lung cancer</a>. They include: shortness of breath, wheezing, chest pain, coughing up of blood. For those who are affected by Malignant Mesothelioma there is a class action lawsuit that has been under way for several years. these patients are urged to check into it. Most patients are entitled to a significant judgement -  <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/mesothelioma/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with mesothelioma">mesothelioma</a>&#8211;cancer-.blogspot.com/ CONTINUE</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When afflicted with cancer, along with the patient the entire family is emotionally affected. Cancer can be categorized as an ailment that directly affects the cells. If not detected in its early stages, cancer is known to spread very quickly through the lymphatic and bloodstream. This happens because the abnormal cells divide and grow. Cancer can also be present in the form of malignant tumors. The stress factor associated with cancer is the root cause of a number of related side effects, trauma and depression. Depending upon the type of cancer, patients may be treated with surgery, radiation therapy, cytotoxic or hormonal <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/chemotherapy/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with chemotherapy">chemotherapy</a>, drugs or immunotherapy. Treatment of cancer is expensive and the disease is associated with a relatively high mortality. Complicated treatment, therapy and strong medication, causes drastic hair loss in a number of cancer patients.  Apart from coping with the disease, hair loss can lead to chronic depression and loss of confidence. An effective method to combat such incidents is to make use of <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/cancer-patient/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with cancer patient">cancer patient</a> wigs.</p>
<p>People who are undergoing continuous treatment after having been successfully treated also use <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/cancer-patient/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with cancer patient">cancer patient</a> wigs. This is because even when the disease is under control, hair loss that has already occurred, takes a longer period to grow back. For the duration of this interim recuperation period, most people prefer to wear <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/cancer-patient/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with cancer patient">cancer patient</a> wigs. Individuals who presume work and daily chores prefer them as it helps them fit in without having to continuously reply to curious onlookers about their condition.</p>
<p>It is possible to select <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/cancer-patient/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with cancer patient">cancer patient</a> wigs that are almost identical to the affected persons original hair texture, color and length. Cancer can cause people to lose a considerable amount of weight, which makes them appear small, weak and frail. For this reason, short <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/cancer-patient/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with cancer patient">cancer patient</a> wigs are popular, as they don&#8217;t get in the way and dot look out of place with a patient&#8217;s petite framework.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The risk of developing cancer has become one of the most thought provoking issues of our time. Worldwide statistics show that as many as 10.9 million people are diagnosed with some form of cancer every year. As research into the food we eat becomes more complex and innovative, it reveals that there are numerous &#8217;super foods&#8217; which not only fight cancer cells, but can also help to prevent it from ever occurring.</p>
<p>What is Cancer?<br />
All living things are comprised of a variety of cells, such as kidney cells, brain cells and skin cells. Cancer develops when a particular cell mutates, then begins to grow and divide.  Eventually, these cells form a mass called a malignant tumor, which often starts to invade surrounding tissue and organs.</p>
<p>Super Foods<br />
It is thought that up to one third of cancer related deaths could be diet related.<br />Many of the foods we eat today can in fact be harmful to the cells in our bodies, particularly &#8216;fast food&#8217;, which often contains high rates of saturated fat.</p>
<p>A large European study has recently shown that &#8216;junk food&#8217; may in fact be a major cause of cancer of the pancreas, the urinary tract and of the womb, which makes saturated fat especially dangerous for women. There is however, an abundance of super foods that contain cancer fighting anti-oxidants and enzymes. These foods fall into a number of categories and it is best to look at their properties separately.</p>
<p>Fruit and Vegetables</p>
<p>Raw carrots are rich in beta carotene and substances called falcarinol and polyacethylens, which can help to impede a wide variety of cancer including, breast, stomach, throat, lung, prostate, bladder and intestinal<br />
Sweet potatoes are thought to have a number of cancer fighting properties including carotenoids (beta carotene is one form)<br />
Turnips and their leaves contain a substance called glucose molaes, which is said to attack cancer cells<br />
Broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale and sprouts are rich in the anti-oxidants; lutein and zeaxanthin which are thought to be particularly affective at inhibiting breast and <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/prostate-cancer/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with prostate cancer">prostate cancer</a><br />
Broccoli and sprouts also contain a substance called phytochemical sulforaphane, which is a by-product of glucoraphanin and is especially useful at impeding bowel cancer<br />
Kale is thought to retain indoles, which are nitrogen compounds and are said to prevent lesions in estrogen sensitive areas, such as the ovaries, mutating into cancerous cells<br />
Beetroot is full of anti-oxidants that specifically attack <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/lung-cancer/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with lung cancer">lung cancer</a> cells<br />
Tomatoes carry vitamin C and a carotenoid called lycopene that fights oxygen molecules which are also known as &#8216;free radicals&#8217;.  Free radicals are often believed to trigger cancer cells.  Lycopene is notable in its ability to aid the fight against rectal and <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/colon-cancer/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with colon cancer">colon cancer</a>, as well as prostate, breast, mouth and cancer of the pancreas.  Cooked and canned/pureed tomatoes are said to be especially concentrated in lycopene<br />
Soya bean products such as tofu include phytoestrogens and isoflavones, which when absorbed in sensible amounts (no more than four or five ounces per day) are thought to block and help <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/prevent-cancer/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with prevent cancer">prevent cancer</a> cells from forming and are particularly associated with lowering the risk of <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/breast-cancer/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with breast cancer">breast cancer</a>.  Incidences of <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/breast-cancer/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with breast cancer">breast cancer</a> are significantly lower in Asian countries where soy products are consumed regularly.  However, caution must be exercised, as research suggests that eating too much soy may cause hormone imbalances which can in fact stimulate cancer cells<br />
Avocados have prolific amounts of an anti-oxidant called glutathione.  Glutathione attacks free radicals and stops the absorption of certain saturated fats into the intestine.  Avocados contain high levels of beta-carotene and potassium, which is also very beneficial for the heart<br />
Citrus fruits, such as oranges, grapefruits, lemons and limes possess high amounts of vitamin C, folic acid and monoterpenes, which can help to eliminate carcinogens from the body and are believed to repress cancer cells<br />
Papayas carry prolific amounts of vitamin C and folic acid, which are both highly effective anti-cancer components<br />
Figs contain a form of benzaldehyde, which is renowned for its ability to shrink tumors<br />
Grapes, particularly the red varieties, include resveratrol and ellagic acid which combine to block the enzymes that are responsible for the growth of cancer cells.  They also contain strong anti-oxidants called bioflavonoids<br />
Strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries and other berries that are red or black in color consist of a wide variety of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, and plant compounds that are thought to be very beneficial against many forms of cancer<br />
Herbs and Spices</p>
<p>Rosemary is said to have detoxifying properties and can repress the advancement of tumors.  Laboratory tests have revealed that it is principally effective against breast and skin tumors<br />
Tumeric belongs to the ginger family and it is thought to help reduce the inflammation that is connected to stomach, bowel and <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/colon-cancer/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with colon cancer">colon cancer</a><br />
Root ginger has been used by Chinese medics for centuries and is well regarded for its many <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/healing/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with healing">healing</a> benefits.  It can be used as a spice in savoury and sweet dishes and as a herbal tea<br />
Garlic is well renowned for its blood thinning and anti-bacterial properties.  It can also help to eliminate oxidants that cause cancer, such as carcinogens and free radicals.  Eating raw or cooked garlic has been found to be far more effective than taking garlic supplements<br />
Licorice root contains a chemical called glycyrrhizin which is considered to help block the growth of <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/prostate-cancer/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with prostate cancer">prostate cancer</a> cells, though an excessive consumption of licorice can lead to raised blood pressure<br />
Chilli peppers are rich in a substance called capsaicin that is regarded to be a preventative against intestinal cancer<br />
Beverages</p>
<p>Black, green and white teas retain antioxidants which are also known as polyphenols.  These antioxidants are considered to expressly defend against cancer cells and stop them from dividing and spreading.  White and green tea is regarded as being particularly efficient against lung, colon, rectal and stomach cancer as well as cancer of the liver and pancreas<br />
Red wine also contains polyphenols and a substance called resveratrol which has been discovered to be present in grape skin.  These antioxidants are known to counter free radicals. It is thought that the pinot noir grape variety contains the largest amounts of resveratrol, particularly in wines where the grapes are grown in cooler, rainy climates, such as Chile in South America. However, alcohol is consumed in large amounts it can actually be a cause of cancer, so it is best drink no more than one glass of red wine per day.<br />
There are many other foods that are considered to be wonderful cancer preventatives.  Seaweed and sea vegetables contain fiber, proteins, beta-carotene, folic acid, and a fatty acid called chlorophylone.</p>
<p>These forms of vegetable are said to help prevent <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/breast-cancer/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with breast cancer">breast cancer</a>. Nuts and seeds are naturally high in omega-3 fatty acid, which is essential for brain function.  Nuts also contain a mineral called <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/selenium/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with selenium">selenium</a> and are rich in antioxidants such as quercetin and campferol.  Nuts and seeds are regarded as primarily effective at repelling prostate and <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/colon-cancer/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with colon cancer">colon cancer</a> cells, as well as being a natural preventative against the threat of heart disease. Mushrooms have prolific amounts of potent compounds called polysaccharides.  These compounds are thought to build up immunity against cancer cells.  Certain varieties of mushroom are perceived to be particularly efficient, these include; reishi, shiitake and maitake, and are widely used in Japanese cuisine.</p>
<p>The benefits of eating a healthy, balanced diet have become more apparent as research into cancer and other fatal diseases evolve.</p>
<p>A diet rich in vegetables, fruit and lean meat is much more of a priority in our daily lives than it was twenty years ago and medical advice suggests that eating at least five portions of fruit or vegetables per day can significantly lower the risk of many forms of cancer and heart disease, as well as preventing obesity.  The threat of obesity is a volatile issue and for the first time in many years the life expectancy of our children is thought to be lower than our own, which is an extremely worrying statistic.</p>
<p>We are bombarded with these frightening medical statistics on a regular basis.  Yet the most sensible advice we have been given in recent years is to eat at least five portions of fruit or vegetables per day. Taking action now may well lessen our chances of developing cancer and should help to provide numerous other health benefits for many years to come.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I strategically use humor.  I have romance party plan business.  I ask ladies to get their friends together so that I can sell them &#8220;romance items.&#8221;  Many women are intrigued by the idea but extremely nervous at being embarrassed too.  To make them comfortable, I liberally sprinkle my presentation with humor.  The idea is to make them laugh so much they forget to be embarrassed.  I want them to have fun and forget to be nervous.  And let&#8217;s face it.  So many of those &#8220;romance items&#8221; are just begging for a joke.  The best part of these parties is that so many of the guests are incredibly witty ladies that crack me up, too.  I tend to get my best jokes from party goers and bless them for it.</p>
<p>Janet attended one of my parties several months ago.  I was holding up one of my newest products called &#8220;Tasty Pastease,&#8221; showing that they come in black or white flower shapes or a cherry, heart shaped version.  They have candies on dangling strings (think candy necklace type candies) and are worn, well, where a topless dancer who doesn&#8217;t want to be completely topless would wear them.  At a presentation, I usually just hold up the package and indicate that really there is no need for explanation here (since there is a picture and everything).  Janet started giggling.  Of course, so was everyone else, but Janet continued to giggle as though she was enjoying a private joke.  I watched her throughout the rest of the presentation a little intrigued and decided I would have to figure this out.</p>
<p>Once my presentation concludes, I invite the ladies individually into a separate room to do their shopping.  This offers them a little privacy and the opportunity to ask embarassing questions without an audience.  When Janet came into the shopping room, I asked her if she had especially liked any of the items I showed her.  (I do try to be subtle.)  Janet immediately volunteered that she had to have a couple sets of the Tasty Pastease.  She is a nurse just like many of the other guests that evening.  She had also recently had a <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/mastectomy/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with mastectomy">mastectomy</a>, but she had not yet had the reconstructive surgery that follows.  It was scheduled with a surgeon she knows pretty well.  And, giggling, she told me that she had decided that a set of Tastee Pastees would be the perfect thing to wear into the OR.  The more she thought about the look on her surgeon&#8217;s face, the harder she laughed.</p>
<p>I was shocked since her situation was not one I usually heard about in my shopping room, but I couldn&#8217;t help but laugh with her.  What a wonderful way to approach a difficult situation.  I bet she really brightened up the day of that OR staff.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cancer that grows in the prostate gland is called <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/prostate-cancer/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with prostate cancer">prostate cancer</a>. In most men, this is a slow process; most men will never know they have the condition. Detected in its earliest stages, <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/prostate-cancer/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with prostate cancer">prostate cancer</a> can be effectively treated and cured.</p>
<p>Many men, especially those later in life have made the decision with their doctors to simply watch and wait to see what, if anything, happens. At an advanced age, the risks of surgery for <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/prostate-cancer/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with prostate cancer">prostate cancer</a> or other more radical treatments may be worse than the disease. Prostate cancer is deadly, but because it is slow-growing can be cured if it is caught early enough.</p>
<p>Some men will experience symptoms that could indicate the presence of <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/prostate-cancer/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with prostate cancer">prostate cancer</a>. Other symptoms could include unintentional weight loss and lethargy. Because <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/prostate-cancer/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with prostate cancer">prostate cancer</a> symptoms can mimic other diseases or disorders, men who experience any of these symptoms should undergo a thorough work-up to determine the underlying cause of their symptoms.</p>
<p>If cancer is caught in its earliest stages, most men will not experience any symptoms. The need to urinate frequently, especially at night is another common symptom. Blood in the urine or semen and frequent pain or stiffness in the lower back, hips, or upper thighs can also be symptoms of cancer.</p>
<p>A prostate gland biopsy usually confirms a diagnosis. The decision about whether to pursue a PSA test should be based on a discussion between you and your doctor. They are not considered reliable.  A bone scan can indicate whether the cancer has metastasized or not but you are exposed to radiation when you do so.</p>
<p>A series of tests may be done to confirm a diagnosis of <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/prostate-cancer/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with prostate cancer">prostate cancer</a>. When a digital rectal exam is performed by the doctor it often reveals an enlarged prostate with a hard, irregular surface. A chest x-ray may be done to see if there is a spread of cancer.</p>
<p>Conventional treatment relies on radiation therapy used primarily to treat prostate cancers classified as stages A, B, or C. Impotence is one potential complication after a prostatectomy or after radiation therapy. Medicines can be used to adjust the levels of testosterone, this is called hormonal manipulation.</p>
<p>The conventional treatment of <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/prostate-cancer/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with prostate cancer">prostate cancer</a> is often very controversial. Treatment options can vary based on the stage of the existing tumor. Medications can have many serious side effects, including hot flashes and loss of sexual desire.</p>
<p>Side effects of the many different <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/chemotherapy/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with chemotherapy">chemotherapy</a> drugs depend on which ones you&#8217;re taking and how often and how long they&#8217;re taken. Be aware that many men choose natural treatment options and forgo surgery, radiation or <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/chemotherapy/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with chemotherapy">chemotherapy</a>. Whether radiation is as good as removing the prostate gland is still debatable and the decision about which to choose, if any, can be difficult.</p>
<p>Prostate cancer that has metastasized may be treated conventionally with drugs to reduce testosterone levels, surgery to remove the testes, <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/chemotherapy/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with chemotherapy">chemotherapy</a> or with nothing at all. Surgery, radiation therapy, and hormonal therapy can interfere with libido on a temporary or a permanent basis. An oncologist, who is a cancer specialist, will usually recommend treating with a single drug or a combination of drugs.</p>
<p>Concentrating on a diet of predominately fruits and living, not cooked, vegetables and no junk food, should give you an observable improvement in your health within 30 days. Eat lots of fruits and veggies every day, not just a token banana or apple. A good dietary, natural treatment approach is to avoid all acidic inflammatory foods; those are foods that are dead through processing, cooking, etc.</p>
<p>Many men have lowered their PSA levels by eating a diet of alkaline, living foods. If possible, try to eliminate all hormone-containing foods like meat and dairy from your diet. Some foods and beverages to avoid that are inflammatory are: caffeine, salt, sugar, meat, dairy products, additives, soft drinks, white flour, white rice, alcoholic beverages, fast food, processed vegetable oils, and all refined, packaged and processed food.</p>
<p>Making a tea with ginger, by adding a thin slice or two of fresh gingerroot to hot water, is helpful to many people I know. Make smoothies with fruit only, using a base of two bananas, adding a cup of frozen or fresh blueberries and mango chunks or substitute any other fruit and add an energy boost with two tablespoons of coconut oil; add one or two leaves of kale or a handful or two of spinach leaves  for another highly nutritional boost. Make highly nutritious raw applesauce using a food processor and put in 2-3 cored pesticide-free apples, with the skin on, and process for a minute or so; so much better for you than canned highly processed applesauce and add 1/4 tsp. cinnamon or two tablespoons of freshly ground flaxseed for another boost if you like.</p>
<p>While the number of men diagnosed with <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/prostate-cancer/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with prostate cancer">prostate cancer</a> remains very high, survival rates are also greatly improving; perhaps because of improvement in diets. In the end, only you with the help of your doctors, knowing your individual situation, can determine which is the best treatment program for you.  It is important to become as informed as possible and read all the newest books, ebooks and research out there available for all treatment options.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Federal law in the US entitles individuals diagnosed with <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/mesothelioma/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with mesothelioma">mesothelioma</a> to file a lawsuit against the errant company or companies. Mesothelioma, being a deadly form of cancer, ruins the prospects of victims and their families. This effectively means that <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/mesothelioma/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with mesothelioma">mesothelioma</a> lawsuits are a necessity – something that can mitigate the sufferings of the family.</p>
<p>Mesothelioma lawsuits are complex, and hence require the services of expert <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/mesothelioma/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with mesothelioma">mesothelioma</a> lawyers or law firms. Since the disease has an extremely long latency period, the manifestation of the disease can come after several decades of actual exposure to asbestos. For instance, in several cases it was found that people now being diagnosed with <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/mesothelioma/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with mesothelioma">mesothelioma</a> were exposed to asbestos thirty to forty years ago, or even before that. Consequently, <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/mesothelioma/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with mesothelioma">mesothelioma</a> lawsuits become extremely challenging, as they call for extraordinary efforts on the part of the lawyers or law firms. Mesothelioma lawsuits often result in millions of dollars for the victims.</p>
<p>While dealing with <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/mesothelioma/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with mesothelioma">mesothelioma</a>, it is pertinent to remember a few basic things about <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/mesothelioma/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with mesothelioma">mesothelioma</a> lawsuits. Perhaps the most important is the fact that <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/mesothelioma/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with mesothelioma">mesothelioma</a> patients should file their lawsuits almost immediately upon diagnosis. This is because many states across the US have a time limit for filing <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/mesothelioma/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with mesothelioma">mesothelioma</a> lawsuits.</p>
<p>Mesothelioma lawsuits are a boon for ailing family members or dependents when the earning member is diagnosed with the cancer. The lawsuit seeks to offer a secure future to the dependent family members, and also helps them to treat the patient. In case <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/mesothelioma/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with mesothelioma">mesothelioma</a> is diagnosed too late and the patient passes away, the regulations are slightly different. However, even in this case, it is advisable for family members to file the lawsuit as soon as possible in order to realize a successful settlement.</p>
<p>Individuals can also file a lawsuit if they have respiratory problems and are a close family member of someone who worked with asbestos. It is possible that individuals working with asbestos may have carried asbestos dust and fibers to their homes, thereby infecting other members. Although it is understood that the patients identified with <a href="http://www.hicancer.com/tag/mesothelioma/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with mesothelioma">mesothelioma</a> may not come out of the painful experience of parting with their near and dear ones, lawsuits often help by mitigating the pain to an extent by providing a secure future.</p>
