If one takes the time to investigate the most prevalent factor behind the many that have died from prostate cancer, one would find that it is "losing hope". No matter how effective the medication or treatment is that you take, if you lose hope because of prostate cancer diagnosis and prognosis, you can't survive it. This article looks at why and how you must "stay open" to be able to survive the cancer. Staying open simply means that you should NOT lose hope and close all possibilities to surviving the condition. People who lose hope don't even want to try out any other way of surviving; they believe that all hopes are lost and so there's no reason to try anything else to survive. This[..]

We're all about coffee and luckily for us, and those like us that love a fine cup of coffee, there are actually some health benefits in regards to cancer to the delightful gourmet taste that we extract from the magic cocoa bean. We're going to go over some of the more recent studies of the health benefits of drinking coffee here, and let you know how much you should be drinking to reap these benefits. If you love coffee, and especially coffee from Coffee Presses then you'll be glad to have your doctors stamp of approval on your next delicious cup of coffee. Let's first talk about the subject of cancer and coffee, which has been a topic of controversy in the past. Did you know that over a[..]

The most common form of kidney cancer is renal cell carcinoma also called renal adenocarcinoma. This form is 90% of cases of kidney cancer. Increasing age is accompanied by greater risk of developing the disease. It happens mostly between 50 and 70 years. Men are 2 times more likely to suffer kidney cancer than women. The most common sign of kidney cancer are: * The Haematuria: Blood in the urine may appear macroscopically, ie the eye. But it is possible to have a microscopic examination of urine to determine the existence        Pain behind the back, the area under the sides, which is persistent and is not related to an injury        * Mass in the kidney is usually detected[..]

Smokers are bombarded with warnings about smoking being bad for their health. We all know that smoking is bad for us but what are the real benefits from quitting? What are the reasons to stop smoking once and for all? Stop Smoking Reason #1: Increase your life expectancy Smokers who stop before about 35-40 years of age have been found to pretty much not suffer from shortened life span. That is to say, there is a negligible change in the life expectancy of people who have never smoked and people who have smoked to the start of their middle age. That is not to say that it is OK for you to smoke until you are 35, far from it. There are many reasons why you should not and the numbers are[..]

Jane Tomlinson, a middle aged woman from Yorkshire, died on Monday night, September 3rd, 2007 aged 43. She was one of the most inspiring human beings to have walked this earth. In August, 2000 she was diagnosed with breast cancer which had returned after an earlier attack when she was 26. She was told in 2000 that she had six months to live since her cancer was judged to be incurable. Some people respond to such news by retiring to bed and waiting for death and who can blame them? She did the opposite. She looked on her death sentence as an opportunity to set herself new goals and dreams. She would seize the days she had left and make the most of them. She decided to raise money for[..]

Shock, disbelief and a sense of unreality. Is this really happening to me? These are some of the commonest reactions on first receiving a cancer diagnosis, along with anxiety - concerns and fears about the future and whether the cancer can be treated. And the ultimate fear - will I die? Such anxieties are completely normal and are part of our inbuilt response to serious challenges. Anxiety can help us to focus our energies and mobilise our resources. But when it is intense, it can have a paralysing effect. Many people report that their concentration and thinking is affected. This is quite normal, and is a protective withdrawal mechanism, giving you time to adjust. But it can make it[..]

Cancer is one of the most complex diseases of our time. Even though modern medicine has developed effective treatments over time, the disease still continues to hold many unanswered questions. Cancer Research is the extensive scientific study about cancer that aims to increase the understanding of the disease. There are many areas of research, each focusing on a specific aspect of cancer. Some focus on new treatment modalities, effects of combination therapy, side effects and the effectivity of current treatment being used in today's medicine. This is the kind of research that gave rise to modern treatment modalities like chemotherapy and radiation. Some research focus on the[..]

You may be surprised to learn that gastric cancer is on the decline, bucking the trend of most other types of cancer. It is disappointing to read research health news about the increase in cancer rates and painful to hear yet another report of the illness of someone we know who has lost the fight to cancer. Fortunately, there appears to be some hope in the horizon. Gastric cancer cases, in comparison, were many back years ago. This type of cancer was number eight in the cause of death by cancer in the United States in 1944. While there is still room for debate on the subject, most medical professionals believes that specific changes in the American diet has resulted in the positive[..]

We are fortunate enough to live in a country where we can spend on Research and Development. It is wonderful we have the 3 billion dollars to spend on R and D for Hydrogen Fuel Cells. It is great that we have found some future problems early on so we can work on fixing them. The problem with hydrogen leaking is that it will end up floating to the upper atmosphere quicker due to it's light weight and therefore offset the ozone layer. Some scientists estimated by up to 18% with in a time period equal to widespread useage in cars, transportation, powere plants ships, etc. The problem is as the Hydrogen goes up into the stratosphere it would condense and oxidize that means you would have[..]

Well water purification has become a necessity with the condition of our water today. Just because your water looks clear and tastes good, doesn't mean it is clean or pure. The most deadly of the chemicals, bacteria, parasites and other toxins are not visible and have little or no flavor or smell. The exception to this would be chlorine, but if you have your own well, chlorine will not be an issue. Industrial dumping, farm run-off, oil and gas spills and even careless disposal of household chemicals, medications, solvents and other materials seep into our groundwater and into our rivers, lakes and streams and make their way into our wells. These contaminants are one of the primary causes[..]

Almost every system of the body suffers when a person is obese. Doctors consider a person obese who is 20 percent above the recommended weight for his or her height and build. When a person is very overweight, the respiratory system may become overtaxed. The extra physical mass, composed of fat, that rests on the breathing apparatus is heavier than it should be. The additional weight putting pressure on the larynx and rib cage makes it difficult for a person to breath deeply, and fill the lungs to capacity with fresh air. In the cardiovascular system, fatty deposits may accumulate on the arteries, causing atherosclerosis. This may eventually impede the flow of blood to the heart. Obesity[..]

The fresh air and green grass on your day at the golf course may not be as healthy as you think, due to toxic pesticides. More than a ton of pesticides and chemical poisons may be applied to your favorite golf course each year to ward off insects and weeds. Learn the health risks of this pesticide exposure and find out how toxic green can go safely green to create a healthy relationship between golf lovers and our links. What are some health risks of pesticide exposure on golf courses? A medical study conducted by professor B. C. Kross at the University of Iowa in 1994 revealed that golf course superintendents were more likely to die of lung cancer, brain cancer, non-Hodgkins lymphoma,[..]

There is absolutely nobody that wouldn't benefit from having pure filtered water in their home. It seems to me that not enough people are taking seriously the evidence as to the potentially deadly levels of toxins and carcinogens in our reservoirs. One of the reasons could be that a lot of the information posted about this contamination notes that the chemicals in our water are only present in "trace" amounts. Trace amount can add up pretty quickly when there are 80,000 individual chemicals present in your groundwater system. Things seem even worse once you find out that two chemicals that encounter each other in the water boost each others strength by as much as 1,000 times. Now[..]

Renowned surgeon *Mehmet Oz*, MD had quite a number of appearances on The Oprah Winfrey show. In one particular episode, he presented actual healthy and damaged human organs to show what happens to the body when we continuously eat the wrong kind of food, smoke a pack of cigarettes deliriously, and drink liquor like there is no tomorrow. The results were diabolically life-altering. Hundreds of viewers testified that after watching Dr Oz briefly go from one organ to another, they shuddered in their seats and couldn't believe that those organs could as well be theirs. You could also check out the Discovery Health Channel hit, Second Opinion, and read his bestseller, You: The Owner's[..]

oxidant dietary supplement" is a catch phrase that is bantered about without much clarification. American's are educated in the simple definition of antioxidant: cancer fighter. There is really more to be explained about how these supplements work. Still one thing that is unquestionably true is the high incidence of cancer especially in older people. The American Cancer Society reported that between 1997 through 2001 the rate at which new cases of all types of cancer were diagnosed in the United States was about 470 per 100,000 people. During the same time period there were about 200 cancer deaths per 100,000 people per year. It further reported that 76% of all cancers are diagnosed in[..]

Almost all of us know someone who has cancer, or who has died from it. We all know the anguish, suffering and grief that it causes. It has become so common that we treat it as if it’s a part of life that we just can’t avoid. Cancer in the EnvironmentFrom the desk of Dr. Magne, author of Cancer Free For LifeAlmost all of us know someone who has cancer, or who has died from it. We all know the anguish, suffering and grief that it causes. It has become so common that we treat it as if it’s a part of life that we just can’t avoid. People are being diagnosed with cancer at unprecedented rates. Melanomas, breast and prostate cancers, colon[..]

Many consumers today spend a good deal of time researching and understanding the products they purchase, and the progress toward this direction shows great promise. Regrettably, though, more people than not still trust blindly that the products they buy to put on or in their bodies are safe and effective. Most trust that the shampoos, conditioners, body washes, soaps, moisturizers, makeup, and toothpastes they buy will produce the results they expect, and that the companies making these products will have their best interests at heart in all matters. They likewise trust products like detergents and other household cleaners without question. It is common knowledge that multitudes of[..]

It is terrible to lose a family member (or in some cases pets) and most of us have had to suffer such a loss. Everyone grieves differently. Some people can express their grief and overcome it quicker than others who find it difficult to grieve and express their feelings. What I have found, is that it scrapbooking can help heal when suffering a loss. It can provide a little bit of closure and help you to grieve in a more productive way, because what you're doing with scrapbooking is not only displaying photos, you are telling a story, talking about your feelings and sharing your pain, even if you don't show it to anyone. I didn't realize what a healing effect scrapbooking had until[..]

Probably you tried once to remove age spots on your skin but ended up having more of them. We call this hyper-pigmentation. Let us find out does this happens by beginning to understand age spots more clearly. All about age spots Age spots are actually blemishes on the skin, characterized by discoloration. They may be colored light brown, or dark brown and black in more severe cases. Age spots are primarily a result of too much exposure to the direct radiation of the sun. Of course, there is nothing basically wrong with the sun, in case you forget that. Gentle early morning sun helps us generate vitamin D on our skin. And this essential vitamin is largely involved in the healthy[..]

The 100 trillion (give or take a few) cells in your body are little energy machines....and in the process of making energy, they produce by-products, much like a car engine produces exhaust. The by-products are thousands of little "free" oxygen atoms or molecules that contain an unpaired electron. This imbalance makes them very unstable (radical)...so they must search out another atom from which to "steal" an electron. Stephen Cherniske describes it this way in his book The Metabolic Plan: "Imagine there's a dance where everyone has a partner. The room is "stable", and everyone is happy. Suddenly the door opens, and here's this fellow without a date. Not only is he alone (unpaired), but[..]

Is the changing American lifestyle responsible for the surge in prostrate cancer? Since new studies indicate that both exercise levels and dietary habits play a large role in a man's likelihood of contracting this dread disease, it seems likely. Today, more and more men work at jobs that demand little to no physical activity. In addition, Americans are eating more and more fast-food and processed meals to the exclusion of fruits and vegetables. This combination just might be deadly. While different studies show conflicting results, this is a factor that men should take into consideration. Prostrate cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in men, and experts predict that in 2009,[..]

Cancer can occur in many areas of the body and behaves differently depending on its type and origin. Cancer consists of more than 100 different diseases, all characterized by the uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells. Cancer is a major health problem in North America, striking an estimated 1.4 million people a year and rising. It strikes men, women and children in every country of the world and it is the second leading cause of death in the United States. Every organ in the human body, the lungs, breast, colon, and brain, consists of specialized cells that execute particular functions, such as transport of oxygen, digestion of foods and nutrients, excretion of body wastes,[..]

The number of deaths from cancer rose for two decades in the United States, and peaked in 1990. Since then, the number of deaths from cancer have been declining, partly due to reductions in smoking. Yet, cancer is still the second leading cause of death in the U. S. One third of cancers that are detected will be related to overweight or obesity, physical inactivity, and poor nutrition. The president of Texas State University at San Marcos, Denise Trauth, declared April to be Cancer Awareness Month, and the university will sponsor a month-long observance. A university committee of faculty, staff, and students, as well as the San Marcos community, have planned for marrow donor[..]

Organic Healthy Living in a Toxic World We live in a world full of toxic and harmful substances; where chemicals are commonplace in many of the products we use. From the containers we eat and drink from to the lotions we rub on our bodies, and even the things we eat. We are surrounded by carcinogens, allergens, and toxic substances. There was a study done by the E.P.A last year that said that some exorbitant amount of toxic chemicals (mercury, alkyl benzene sulfonates, ammonia, etc...) were released into the environment and this amount ended up being equal to 15 lbs of toxic substances for every man, woman and child in the United States today. Now I don’t know about you but that is[..]

Throughout the world, cancer remains a leading cause of death. All told, more than six million people around the globe die of the disease each year. Cancer has become a particular concern in China, where the mortality rate from the disease has been on the rise. In fact, some 1.5 million people in China died of cancer in the year 2000. For Chinese men, the most common form of cancer is cancer of the stomach, followed by liver cancer, cancer of the oesophagus, lung cancer, and intestinal cancers. Stomach cancer is also most common for women, followed by uterine, oesophagus, lung, and liver cancer. An Increase in Western Cancers Because of the increase in economic development in China,[..]

In light of the recent findings on Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) many women find themselves with a big question about taking a little pill. A large, federally funded clinical trial, part of a group of studies called the Women's Health Initiative (WHI), has definitively shown for the first time that the hormones in question - estrogen and progestin - are not the age-defying wonder drugs everyone thought they were. As if that weren't bad enough, the results proved that taking these hormones together for more than a few years actually increases a woman's risk of developing potentially deadly cardiovascular problems and invasive breast cancer, among other things. The principal message[..]

A new look at the way cancer develops suggests that low vitamin D levels enable the spread of the disease. A study by the Moores Cancer Center at the University of California San Diego has produced a new model of cancer development. The currently-accepted model of cancer development considers genetic mutations to be the basis of cancer, while the new model proposes that a loss of communication between cells is the key event in the development of cancer and low levels of vitamin D could be at least partially responsible. The researchers say communication between cells is crucial to healthy cell turnover but low vitamin D and calcium levels can disrupt that communication, allowing[..]

The Times they are A-Changing The bottled water industry generated $15 billion in revenue in America in 2006. It will top $16 billion this year. That's more than Americans spent on movie tickets or iPods. And while 50 percent of Fijians don't have access to clean, reliable water, millions of gallons Fiji Water is shipped most of the way across the Pacific and then trucked from the coast to chi-chi hotels or otherwise sold at a premium across the country. This even though almost every American could walk to the closest tap and draw out clean, safe and often good-tasting water. These and other choice facts come out in Charles Fishman's well-wrought 6,000-word piece on water in the July[..]

Jay Kubassek has an impressive history in business as the co-owner of Carbon Copy Pro, affiliate of Wealth Masters International, and past affiliate with Liberty League International. This review will focus on Jay's work and influence in the direct sales and internet marketing scene; however, he has an extensive background in many other businesses as an independent film producer, owner of six companies, a professional speaker and trainer, an international real estate developer and investor, and an extreme sport enthusiast. It is also noteworthy to mention his philanthropist contributions to the Name Campaign in Africa, the Toasting Timbo Foundation, The Children's Institute for Autism,[..]

The legendary career of Barbra Streisand is well known around the globe. Paved with impressive achievements and memorable moments, Streisand became the first female actress to ever direct and star in a motion picture that was recognized with a Best Director nomination from the DGA (Director's Guild of America). The film, The Prince of Tides, was also honored with seven Academy Award nominations. In 1963, Barbara Streisand released her first album, which was fittingly titled 'The Barbra Streisand Album,' for which she received two Grammy Awards. At that time, she was the youngest artist to have ever received the Album of the Year award. As Barbra made her motion picture debut in 1968, her[..]

Barack Hussein Obama represented his state of Illinois as a junior senator. He was the only African American serving in the US Senate before he was elected president on November 4, 2008. Almost two weeks later, he gave up his US Senate seat. Education Policy The National Education Association gave Obama an A rating in 2005, 2006, and 2007. Elections and Government Policy Obama has been an advocate of ethics as well as election and campaign finance reform. Economy Policy Obama wanted to federally fund rebuilding New Orleans as well as the Gulf Coast communities after Hurricane Katrina. He pushed for hearings because he felt like the Bush administration was slow in responding to the needs[..]

As it turns out many new companies are jumping on the "cause marketing" bandwagon in conjunction with National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Right now breast cancer is the most popular cause used at market because it is October and it can be closely identified with marketing to women. (80% purchaser and decision maker.) So companies are thinking it's a win-win to both audiences. Yoplait has been supporting breast cancer for a number of years. It is important to recognize the fact that not all women are swayed by supporting a cause in their purchasing decision. It's more complicated than just slapping a new (pink) label on the package. A recent example of campaigns that are working[..]

With many of us leading extremely busy lives, time is money and being efficient in everything we do is a must. The same goes for exercising. Stop wasting your time on exercises that work only your forearms, or biceps, or just your calf, instead think big and target the major muscles groups when working out. You'll not only get the best bang for your buck, but you will burn more calories. Most of us are intimidated to join a gym or even begin to exercise due to the lack of knowledge of many exercises. Yes, there are thousands of exercises and a beginners can find themselves very lost and discouraged, but there is no need to worry, what you need to understand is that out of those[..]

So maybe it is that time of year again to start planning for your big annual charity event. Well before you go ahead and start setting everything just how it was last year. Why do you let that idea gain some dust for a couple of years. Long enough for people to forget about what it was like, to have sense of nostalgia for it. Your organization should try to spice things up a bit. By spicing it up a bit, I mean think outside the boxes...box. There are some many events going on each and every year. Many people tend to only attend maybe one a season, some only choose to attend one once a year. There are so many new causes and spin-offs of the more popular causes it is getting really hard to[..]

To eat soy or not to eat soy seems to be the question on many of our patients' minds these days. On one hand, we have extensive studies acknowledging soybean as a miracle food with high nutritional value and a natural protection against a host of diseases. On the other hand, critics argue that soy protein isolates are dangerous, linking soy iso flavones with breast cancer, allergies, thyroid disease and infertility. Both sides of the story are heated and ironically well researched and extensively promoted. So, what do we infer from all these conflicting schools of thought about the potential benefits and dangers associated with intake of soy and soy products? In this article, I intend to[..]
