Lack of Vitamin D Causes Cancer?
Twenty-five years ago, Dr. Cedric Garland and his brother, Frank, proposed that many cases of cancer were caused by lack of vitamin D. The medical community treated these respected epidemiologists as if they were nuts. Vitamin D was discovered in 1922 as the vitamin that prevents and treats rickets, a disease that causes children and adults to have such weak bones that they bend. The Garland brothers showed that people who live in the northern parts of the United States have more than three times as many colon cancer deaths as those who live in the South. They explained that very few Americans meet their needs for vitamin D from the food, so we have to meet our needs for vitamin D from[..]
Circumin is the active ingredient in the spice Tumeric, which has been considered a "holy powder" in India for centuries. Circumin imparts the bright gold color to turmeric and also serves as a yellow dye for textiles. But more importantly, the use of turmeric as medicine in the Indian culture goes back more than 5000 years. U.S. scientists are jumping on the circumin bandwagon as well. In 2005, almost 300 technical papers in the National Library of Medicine's PubMed database referenced circumin – compared with only 100 papers just five years earlier.(1) And the result of all those studies? Extensive research has shown circumin to be an effective antioxidant, antiviral, antibacterial,[..]
Mesothelioma Cancer - News and Information For...
Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer in which malignant (cancerous) cells are found in the mesothelium, a protective sac that covers most of the body's internal organs. Most people who develop mesothelioma have worked on jobs where they inhaled asbestos particles. Mesothelioma (cancer of the mesothelium) is a disease in which cells of the mesothelium become abnormal and divide without control or order. They can invade and damage nearby tissues and organs. Cancer cells can also metastasize (spread) from their original site to other parts of the body. Most cases of mesothelioma begin in the pleura or peritoneum. There are three primary types of malignant mesotheliomas: Epithelioid. About[..]
Asbestosis Survival Stories That Beat the Odds...
Mesothelioma is a deadly cancer. Statistics on asbestos diseases show the odds for living more than a few years after diagnosis of the cancer are slim. But some people beat the odds. Mesothelioma patients know death is imminent – with or without cancer. But statistics on the incurable nature of mesothelioma brings the fearful immanency of death too close for comfort. Early cancer diagnosis improves the chances of eradicating asbestos-instigated tumors, but most doctors will still testify that the chances of eradicating the disease after diagnosis at any stage is slim to none. The cancer cells simply grow back. For some asbestos cancer patients, the statistics ring true. For a[..]

The Fallacy Of So Called Trace Benzene Cases
mer products in the United States have not had significant levels of benzene for decades, yet Plaintiffs’ counsel have filed thousands of cases, often called trace benzene suits, asserting that various consumer products such as degreasers, carburetor cleaners, mineral spirits, and paints have caused their clients to contract Leukemia, aplastic anemia or other blood related diseases. Since benzene has not been a known and intended ingredient of these products for many years, the claimants assert that other solvents that have been substituted for benzene, such as Toluene, Xylene, Hexane, Stoddards Solvent and VM&P Naphtha contain benzene and cause users to be exposed to benzene.[..]

A cancer diagnosis can be so shocking that it may be hard to know where to begin when talking to the doctor. It's common to feel completely tongue-tied, wondering if it's okay to even let the things you're thinking about cross your lips. For example, the first question on your mind may be "Is it curable?" Well, that's a perfectly reasonable thing to be wondering. The doctor may not be able to give you a definitive answer, but getting his opinion allows you to begin planning for the future and start a conversation about what's to come. When accompanying someone to a doctor appointment, it's a good idea to bring a pen and paper to take notes, or ask the doctor's staff to provide writing[..]
The Many Feelings of a Diagnosis of Cancer
If you have been recently been given a diagnosis of cancer you are probably experiencing a wide variety of emotions: fear, anger, sadness, guilt, helplessness and anxiety.

At some time or another almost all people with cancer will have some or all of the following feelings: Denial and Disbelief Newly diagnosed patients sometimes deny that they have cancer. After all, they think, I've not been that sick, how could I have cancer? Denial can be an obstacle to appropriate and timely treatment; you must accept the diagnosis to begin fighting the cancer.

Thanks to advances in research and actually separating this type of tumor from other cancers that were all lumped into[..]
Getting a cancer diagnosis is probably one of the most devastating things a person has to experience. I can only imagine what a person who has heard the words, "You've got cancer." must feel, but that doesn't mean I can't sympathize with the situation and tell you that I love you. You read all of the time about people telling you how to cope with cancer and what your treatment options are, so I'm not going to do that. What I am going to do is to tell you that you are on my heart and on my mind, and I promise to say a prayer for you every day that you will be strengthened by this journey you're on. My father, Willie, was having some issues with his stomach late last year. His doctors[..]
Of course it's easy to say 'don't panic' but hearing the news that you have cancer is likely to test most of us. But in this article let's try and take a calm look at the situation. The word we are discussing is panic. We are not talking about worry or concern or even sadness or distress, all of which are common responses to the news of a cancer diagnosis. No, here we are discussing panic. Allowing yourself to panic has no upside or good aspect to it. You won't be thinking clearly, you may make yourself sick and you could make mistakes because of your panic. In some cases your diagnosis could even be wrong and, if so, you will have allowed yourself to panic without cause. The effects of[..]
When we hear about research results from the media we need to become aware of the types of language that is being used to describe the findings of the studies.colon cancer symptoms in young adults In medical reports, findings tend to be cautious unless it has been written by one of the pharmaceutical company ghost writers. When the media reports on a positive finding about a natural product doctors are wheeled out and asked to provide a "balanced" report, discussing why it isn't as great as it seems and everything that could go wrong by way of possible negative side effects. The doctors are very obliging. However when the report is about a new drug that patients have trialled, the drug[..]
Exercise May Prevent Prostate Trouble
Can exercise help men avoid prostate trouble? It's a hotly debated question in research circles, now some new work adds to the ongoing debate about the role being active may play in terms of prostate cancer risk. U.S. researchers at Duke University Medical Center examined 190 male subjects who were having prostate biopsies at the Durham Veterans Affairs Medical Center. Before the procedure, subjects completed questionnaires on their physical activity. Levels of physical activity were assessed based on answers to questions on frequency, duration and intensity of exercise in a typical week. Activity was designated as mild (easy walking, yoga), moderate (brisk walking, tennis) or strenuous[..]

The Harmful Ingredients That Your Hair Dye May...
According to International Agency for Research on Cancer, barbers and hairdressers -- particularly men -- were found to be at a higher risk of getting bladder cancer due to their frequent use of hair dyes. These people, who may not even use hair dyes personally, are exposed to such products almost everyday. The agency, based in France, also confirmed that a number of studies intimated a probable link between personal use of hair dye with some forms of cancer, including leukemia, lymphoma and bladder cancer. Since hair dyes are considered as personal care products, compulsory testing of the safety of these products are not required by the government before they are sold in the market.[..]

In fact, if gold and silver could buy health, there would not be so many diseases in the United States. Cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer, to name a few, are weapons that send thousands of people in the country of silence (death) every year. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) - despite Progress of Science, cardiovascular disease remains the number one killer in the United States. Cardiovascular disease (High blood pressure, coronary heart disease, heart attack, stroke, etc.) is without a doubt the leading cause of death in[..]
When people with similar claims join forces to seek monetary compensation through litigation, we talk about a class action lawsuit. This process can be highly time and cost efficient, for both, the claimants and the courts. Mesothelioma is a fatal disease, and along with asbestosis and certain kinds of lung cancer, is caused by exposure to asbestos particles. A cure is yet to be found and even though the available treatments can help to improve a patient's quality of life, they are very expensive. I am a cancer patient, too, and so is my wife. Therefore, we know that our unwanted 'hobby' cancer can leave a person with a huge bill. But Mesothelioma treatments are on the extreme side and[..]
The Difference Between Pleural Plaques and...
Here is the short version in unsophisticated and unscientific terms: pleural thickening is the result of pleural plaques. It strongly depends on the level of asbestos exposure what kind of lung disease a person may develop. Frequent and intense contact, stretched over a long period of time usually results in asbestosis, a non cancerous form of an asbestos induced disease. But if a person's exposure is rather intermittent and less intense, he is more likely to develop mesothelioma, lung cancer or pleural plaques. Pleural plaques, though, is not an illness but it is definitely indicative of exposure to asbestos. As a matter of fact, more often than not, it is the only indication of[..]
Asbestos Law Suits and Personal Injuries
Can I ask you something? When you hear asbestos law suits, what is the first thing that comes to your mind? Is it money? I guess you are not alone with that. Because the fact of the matter is, all of us came across with articles or reports in the media about personal injury cases, where asbestos victims received large dollar amounts in compensation settlements. And doubtlessly, in some instances, the received awards appeared to be disproportionally high. But are they really that high, considering what a mesothelioma victim has to deal with? We can't forget that there is always another side to the story. Nobody can deny that if you are facing the burden of dealing with a severe and maybe[..]

Asbestos Poisoning and Asbestos Injuries
Before we discuss the term 'asbestos poisoning', let's have a look at some basics surrounding the material itself. Asbestos is a fibrous mineral that is found in nature. It has been used liberally and widely in buildings and other constructions for over 100 years. The fibers of asbestos are durable and sturdy, yet, flexible and extremely resistant to heat. Asbestos can be found in a broad variety of products, such as flooring and ceiling tiles, house siding, roof shingles, pipe insulations, etc. To give you some numbers: a study that was conducted not too long ago, indicated that in the Unites States alone, asbestos has been used an estimated 30 million tons and can be found in over[..]
When Asbestos Tiles Can Turn Into a Real Problem
There is something to be said for asbestos products. They are inexpensive, very resistant to heat and fire, extremely durable and sturdy, yet, flexible enough to be installed even in the toughest spots. Hence it is not really surprising that the asbestos floor tile was very popular up until the 1980s. And as a matter of fact, some recently conducted studies suggests that most of the floor tiles back then consisted of two main components; vinyl and asbestos. But as we all know there is unfortunately also another side to the story. As long as the asbestos floor tiles stay intact and remain undamaged, there is supposedly, and according to many experts, no need to be concerned. However, even[..]
Make Your Kidney Surgery Less Risky
Often a laparoscope will be used to perform kidney surgery on a patient as it is thought to cause them less shorten and shortens the time it takes for them to recover (although this may not be true for people who have kidney cancer). A laparoscopy allows the surgeon to perform an operation by inserting a device with a camera attached through a small opening in the patients body. Research has been carried out at 4 different hospitals around the world to compare laparoscopy surgery against the usual "open surgery" for people diagnosed with Kidney Cancer. According to a study in the Journal of Urology the two procedures produced the same results. It was find that those patients who had[..]
Benzene, also known as benzol, is a liquid organic chemical compound that evaporates quickly and partly dissolves in water. It is colorless and highly flammable. It is also a known carcinogen, or cancer-causing substance. When added to petrol, it increases the octane rating and reduces the knocking noise in some engines. Benzene's sweet smell made it a favorite after-shave lotion in the 19th and early twentieth centuries. It was used as a popular method to decaffeinate coffee in the early 1900s. It was used as an industrial solvent to degrease metal prior to the 1920s. Even as recent as the 1970s hardware stores sold benzene in small cans. It was a very popular ingredient in paint[..]

Dying For a Cigarette
I have used the statement, "I am dying for a cigarette", hundreds of times during the years that I fed my nicotine addiction. And at the time that I made those statements I believed that if I did not get a smoke or a nicotine fix I actually would expire by some terrible unknown, unexplainable, mind blowing phenomenon. Or, at the least, I would do some unlawful act, such as killing someone, that it would end my life and existence as I knew it at that time. Little did I know that the statement, dying for a Cigarette, would have such a traumatic and dramatic effect on me and my life. Eventually after over twenty years of smoking and a number of attempts to quit smoking I was finally[..]
