Colon cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths among non-smokers. There are several ways to detect colon cancer or the possible onset of colon cancer, but by far the best defense against cancer of the colon is a colonoscopy. People can develop tissue growths, known as polyps, in different places along the colon. These growths can sometimes lead to cancer, so the detection and removal of these polyps is a very important part of preventing colon cancer. Men tend to develop polyps in the lower part of the colon, while women develop these growths deeper in the colon. There is a screening method known as a sigmoidoscopy, but it primarily examines the lower 25 percent of the colon. But in[..]
Look Your Best - Cancer's Silent Treatment
During my personal journey through cancer, now over thirteen years ago, I made an interesting emotional observation. This observation led me to coin a term I call "a sick mentality". For anyone who has even been very sick and/or fought a deadly illness or disease such as cancer you will identify with either having or fighting this mentality. It starts with accepting that you are not in perfect health and that, in itself, is not bad. In fact, for simple life preservation, many times it is imperative that you change things about your lifestyle, actions and attitudes. However, after those changes have been made if is important that you do not get a "sick mentality". By that I mean[..]
that colon cancer is the second leading cause of deaths in the United States. In 1999, of all the cancer deaths, 16% of them were colon cancer. But where did the other cancers originate - lung, prostate, breast, lymph, pancreatic, stomach? Did they also start in the colon where the colon toxin simply migrated to these regions? Many colon cancers develop slowly over time and can be attributed to constipation. And, constipation can be related, in most cases, to past emotional trauma or experiences. Constipation that occurs over a long period of time creates toxins that continually migrate into your blood and into your body cells and tissues. It is difficult to trace where cancers[..]

The health and medical communities have long acknowledged the benefits of a daily multi-vitamin, particularly for those over the age of 50. Even Medicare has noted decreased costs in caring for patients who take daily multi-vitamins. As we grow older, the absorption and digestion of proteins and minerals becomes more difficult leading to a variety of ailments such as osteoporosis, fatigue, and chronic illness. We can go a long way towards addressing these concerns by seeking out a few basic nutrients and nutritional supplements. Five that are essential for anyone over 50 include betaine hydrochloride, B-12, magnesium, Vitamin D, and adequate protein. Betaine Hydrochloride: Our bodies[..]
Coenzyme Q10, also known as CoQ10 or Vitamin Q, is one of the most promising tools in the anti-aging arsenal. Research has proven that this naturally occurring compound can play a role in the treatment and prevention of a host of age-related disorders. CoQ10 is a very powerful antioxidant and as such can neutralize free radicals, damaging compounds which are believed to contribute to the aging process as well as serious health problems including heart disease and cancer. Since the body's production of Coenzyme Q10 decreases with age, ongoing research is focusing on the effect of supplemental doses with extremely promising results: Treatment and Prevention of Heart Disease: It is known[..]
Breast ultrasound, also known as the ultrasonography of the breast, is a safe test done on patients to enable doctors to understand certain medical treatments related to the breast mass to be able to treat them accordingly. The principle behind the test is very similar to the Trans abdominal sonography (TAS) ultrasound used for checking the prenatal condition of a baby while inside the mother's womb. The pictures are formed by using high frequency sound waves, not heard by humans, which give off reflection signatures that make up the image. In a simpler analogy, it can be imagined to be the same principle behind the sonar released by bats to make them see as they have poor visual acuity[..]
In his celebrated book "Arnold's Body Building for Men", the prolific superstar Arnold Schwarzenegger wrote that people go overboard on protein when they go on a body building spree. Arnold further writes that that he believes to get enough protein eat about 1 gram of protein for every 2 pounds of body weight. Actor Tushar Kapoor from Bollywood collapsed due to an overdose of protein energizer powder. If you think protein powder can give you an enviable body, without side effects, think again. Protein powder brands are advertised to having more muscle powder, resistance power, and quick recovery. Protein powders have creatin which gives side effects like frequent flatulence, bloating,[..]
Breast enhancement surgery has become one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the United States, Canada, and Europe. Thousands of women, dreaming of having perfect breasts spend thousands of dollars to have their breasts enlarged by inserting artificial breast implants into their bust. The problem is that as this surgery becomes more common, so do the risks and possible complications of breast implants are downplayed. And that is a mistake, because as there are many women who are thrilled with the results they got after surgery, so do many women wake up wishing they had never chose to go through this procedure. Here are some of the possible risks of breast implants gone wrong: 1.[..]
Acupuncture May Help With Hot Flashes
High quality research is showing a link between Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and breast cancer. In fact with long term HRT, over ten years, the risk may even double. As news travels about the possible harm caused by this therapy, women across America and indeed across the globe are responding by declining HRT. Of course one of the great benefits of HRT has been the reduction of menopausal symptoms like hot flashes. Mild hot flashes can be annoying, while severe hot flashes can be debilitating. Mayo clinic reported that up to 75% of American menopausal and post-menopausal women suffer from hot flashes. Decrease in HRT usage means an increase in hot flash sufferers. While the[..]
This isn't about the usual stupid laws. Oh, it's true that it is illegal to catch fish with your bare hands in Kansas, and that Wyoming has a law forbidding you from wearing a hat that obstructs a person's view in a theater. In South Carolina you need a permit to be a fortune teller, and in Kansas City, Missouri, children can't legally buy toy cap guns, but they can buy real shot guns. This article, however, is about laws that are not considered stupid by most people. This is about one particular class of laws and regulations - those that are supposedly for public safety, but are really intended to benefit some particular group. It sounds good to make laws that make people safe, doesn't[..]

What is Asbestos and How Does it Cause Disease?
Asbestos is an extremely toxic, naturally found mineral that was once used in home and boat insulation, brake pads, and floor and ceiling tiles. In around 1980 asbestos was determined to cause several life-threatening asbestos exposure-related diseases (asbestosis, lung cancer, pleural and peritoneal mesothelioma). Asbestos fibers are inhaled and get trapped in the lungs causing scar tissue and chronic inflammatory lesions. These lesions lead to difficult breathing and in some case become cancerous. There has been a great increase in the number of cases of pleural mesothelioma diagnosed recently because often this disease doesnt manifest until years after exposure (in some cases 40[..]
Asbestos - The Silent Killer
Asbestos is the single biggest work place killer today. People who have worked with the material are at serious risk from developing lung cancer, asbestosis and mesothelioma, fatal respiratory illnesses that debilitate their victims. Evidence of asbestos' deadly effect on those who breathe its fibres is likely to multiply in the decades to come. Asbestos was once heralded as the greatest building material available to those in the construction industries. Its high tensile strength, durability and flexibility, as well as heat insulation and fire retardant properties meant that it could save lives, make buildings strong and make industries rich. It was first used by the Greeks some 2000[..]
Asbestosis Vs Pleural Plaques
While we now know that asbestos is a carcinogenic material that can cause a variety of different diseases in our bodies, it was once extremely popular and used in everything from vinyl flooring to ceiling tiles in our houses and even brake pads on our cars. Because it can take years for asbestos-related disorders to manifest themselves, things like asbestosis and pleural plaques may now just diagnosed in someone even though asbestos was banned starting in the late 1980s. Asbestosis and pleural plaques are similar disorders almost solely caused by exposure to asbestos. There are two reasons why asbestos is so bad for our bodies. First, it is a carcinogen, which means it can mutate our DNA[..]
Peritoneal Mesothelioma Cancer - Symptoms &...
Peritoneal mesothelioma, also known as asbestos lung cancer, is a relatively uncommon form of mesothelioma cancer, accounting for less than a quarter of all mesothelioma cases. It is called peritoneal because it appears as a tumor in the peritoneum membrane of the abdomen. Causes Exposure to asbestos is the only known cause of this disease in the USA. Patients afflicted with Peritoneal Mesothelioma have inhaled or swallowed asbestos fibers usually through work related activities. Symptoms do not occur until 20 to 40 years after contact with the mineral and its by products. Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma is often fatal and patients who are afflicted by it live on average of less than a[..]
Who Can Obtain an Asbestos Settlement?
A victim of an asbestos induced injury may be eligible for an asbestos settlement as a compensation for their damages and losses. An asbestos injury is caused by exposure to the material. Toxic airborne fibers contaminate the air and that can be extremely dangerous and harmful to anyone who ingests or inhales them. As a result, serious or fatal health conditions may develop in an affected person. Diseases caused by asbestos exposure include lung cancer, asbestosis and mesothelioma. Asbestosis is not a cancer, however, very serious as it causes the build up of scar tissue that directly impairs the regular function of the lungs. The latency period of asbestosis can exceed 30 years. Other[..]
Asbestos Treatment Options and Outlook
Asbestos-related diseases develop slowly, over several years. Herein lies the problem found in asbestos treatment and diagnosis. They may not show up as cancer until decades after the initial exposure occurred. While these manifestations can be treated, they cannot always be cured. Asbestosis is an example of one asbestos-related disease that currently lacks a cure. Asbestosis results from inhaling asbestos fibers and involves scarring of the lung tissues, resulting in shortness of breath, chest pain, and cough, among other symptoms. Sufferers of this disease may be at increased risk for lung cancer; cessation of smoking is therefore included as part of the treatment regimen. Asbestosis[..]
noma is a cancerous growth. Carcinoma is a skin cancer. Carcinoma occurs in the epithelial tissues. The cells layers are formed by this epithelium tissue. In other words, carcinoma affects those skin tissues that make up the protective inner sheet of all our vital internal organs. However, intensive researches are on to find out the exact clues that can go to prove that these malignant cells can effectively break through the defensive barriers of the cells by breaking the protective epithelium membrane. The epithelium layer consists of the sentinel cells that not just protect the organs but also do several other vital functions. Among these roles played by the epithelium tissue are[..]
What Does Pleural Mesothelioma Mean?
A protective sheath termed as the pleura covers the chest cavity and the lungs. When mesothelioma occurs in this sheath, then the condition is known to be pleural mesothelioma. Of all the different types of mesothelioma present in the current times, this mesothelioma is known to be the most widespread one. It is commonly found in workers who are dealing with asbestos and related minerals. Asbestos cancer mesothelioma -- the pleural mesothelioma is known to be a division of this core niche. In this brief article, we will try to analyze this condition. Pleural mesothelioma is commonly known to be confused with lung cancer. It is a cancer occurring on the protective layer of the lungs.

Asbestos Exposure at Ground Zero
In September 2001, terrorists attacked the World Trade Center's Twin Towers in New York City. At the end, thousands of lives were lost when the towers collapsed rapidly. When the towers collapsed, they left nothing but rubble, debris, and dust. To respond to this disaster, rescue teams were quickly formed of policemen, firefighters, and volunteers that all worked to save as many lives as possible after the attacks. Unfortunately, while these individuals were behaving heroically, they were putting their own lives at risk due to the deadly toxins that were released into the air when the towers collapsed. The Twin Towers and much of the World Trade Center was constructed at the close of the[..]
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 select[..]

Wealth and Health or Health and Wealth
On Wednesday at 10:15AM October 13th, my body was intact with no parts missing. At two AM, Thursday October 14th, I awakened in someone else's bed. Lahey Hospital's. At 3AM, I sat in a large leather reclining chair (I tried wheeling it to my car, but the nurses stopped me) giving thanks for thoughtful and caring friends. Exactly 24 hours after the anesthesiologist put me under, I stood in my kitchen with a catheter and one rather important body part missing. Boy, that all happened rather fast! The sequence of doctor's visits, surgery, and follow-up force me to ask, "what matters?" Our wealth or our health? You might think, "Health, of course!" Someone else might reply, "Wealth; my health[..]

Many men have minimal, if any, knowledge of the merit of screening for prostate cancer or of the recommendations for when they should start testing, how frequently to screen, and the meaning of screening test results. They simply put their faith in their doctor to tell them what they should do to remain healthy. Delayed diagnosis of prostate cancer examples are all too common. A common type of medical mistake that is at the root of these cases arises when the male patient's family doctor (1) screens the patient for[..]
