Lung Cancer: 0f the estimated 580,350 men and women whom will die 0f cancer in 2013 (160,000 will die of lung cancer.) Being 90% of lung cancer can be prevented through actions and awareness (cigarette smoke is the leading cause followed by radon gas in the home.) Buyer Beware: if you smoke stop and if you don’t smoke don’t start, if you live in a home that’s new… still have your basement tested for radon gas…. because of the tightly seal and heavily isolation… radon levels maybe high.
Still it is estimated that 90% of lung cancer could be prevented each year through action and awareness. Smoking cigarettes and tobacco use by any means is responsible for 87% of lung cancer in the United States. Therefore, quitting smoking at any time can lower the risk of developing lung cancer and if you already have cancer it could prevent a secondary more aggressive type from recurring. Each year lung cancer affects over 370,000 Americans, what type of robust effect would it have on health care if everybody would QUIT!! Know Your Options Beforehand?
The Facts About Radon Gas… It’s Deadly!!!
Melanoma: you can lower your risk 0f the deadliest form 0f skin cancer by protecting yourself from exposure to UV Radiation from the sun with slip! slop! slap! and wrap! Ounce 0f Prevention beats a pound of cure?
* Slip on a shirt.
* Slop on sunscreen.
* Slap on a hat.
* Wrap around sunglasses.
While avoiding severe sunburns by avoiding being outdoors in direct sunlight to long, especially between the hours of 10 am and 4 pm when the UV light is strongest. If your unsure of the suns intensity use the shadow test and if your shadow is shorter than you are ~ it’s important to have some form of protection. Therefore, you don’t need to know the new medical breakthroughs.
Melanoma is less common than other skin cancers, however, it is much more dangerous if not found early causing 75% of the deaths related to skin cancer. Worldwide doctors diagnose about 160,000 new cases of melanoma yearly. In women the most common site is the legs and in men it’s the back because those area’s are the most likely to be left exposed for the greatest length of time. All cancers are caused by damage to the DNA inside cells, this damage can be inherited through genetic mutations, however, more likely it builds through a person’s lifetime and caused by environmental issues.

Non Hodgkins Lymphoma: the exact cause is unknown, however, certain risk factors exist. While certain viruses (like H.I.V., Epstein Barr, Human-T cell Leukemia and Virus 1.) and also bacteria caused by the Helicobacteria pylori and celiac disease that can increase your risk of developing B – cell or a rare T – cell lymphoma.
Also in a small number of cases, working with chemicals such as insecticides and herbicides seemingly increase the risk of developing lymphoma and conditions that include rheumatoid arthritis, haemolytic anaemia, sjogren’s syndrome, lupus and psoriasis that can affect your immune system and heighten your risk.
Dr. Richard Becker, D.O. physician in North Texas where he and his wife Host Your Health. In 1997, Dr. Becker was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma, while also immersing himself into the world of Natural Healing. Which he states, some of the things he learned in that time ~ fight to survive led to the formation of Bio Innovations. In some ways this person mentor me through being a loyal watcher of his show and making a big impact on this website!!
Pancreatic Cancer: fortunately cancer of the pancreas is relatively rare, however, your risk of developing this dreadful disease triples if your mother, father, sister or brother had the disease. Please remember though most people with family history doesn’t mean you will get pancreatic cancer. That said, first thing first smokers are more likely than non smokers of developing the disease. Also a study that was conducted from University of California at San Francisco found that eating five plus servings of yellow, orange or green veggies HELP!
Pancreatic Cancer remains one of the most difficult cancers to treat, due to it’s extreme resistance to treatment and few early symptoms. At the time of initial diagnosis 50% of patients usually have distant metastases of the liver of peritoneal surface and more than 80% of the remaining patients have locally advanced tumors. The majority 95% are adenocarcinomas that mainly develop from exocrine cells in the tissues of the pancreas. These tumors are also characterized by an aggressive behavior with fast progression and highly metastatic.
In contrast, neuroendocrine tumors of pancreatic origin, also known as pancreatic NET or islet cell tumors; are not as common <2% and are considered less deadly. Illustrating the difference, however, between the two, Hollywood actor Patrick Swayze had stage IV exocrine cancer that already spread to his liver March 2008 and lost his battle September 2009 at age 57. Likewise, Apples’s Steve Jobs under went surgery for NET in 2004 and didn’t succumb until October 2011 at age 56.
Prostate Cancer: most cases are slow growing, however, there are instances of aggressive prostate cancers. The cancer cells may also metastasize (spread) from the prostate to other parts of the body. Particularly the bones and lymph nodes causing pain, also difficulty urinating, problems with sexual inter course or erectile dysfunction. Globally it is the sixth leading cause of cancer related death in men (being first in the U.K. and second leading in the United States.)
Prostate Cancer: many risk factors such as age, race, and family history can not be controlled. However, the effect of body weight, physical activity and diet on prostate risk are not clear, but there may be things you can do that might lower your risk. Several studies also suggest that diets high in certain vegetables (including tomatoes, cruciferous vegetables, soy, beans and other legumes) or fish with their omega 3 content for cancer prevention versus treatment.
Thyroid Cancer: risk factors like frequent head and neck X – rays exposes the thyroid to radiation which can increase your risk over time. While lack of iodine does not directly cause thyroid cancer, it has been linked to goiter, which in turn increases your risk for developing the disease. In most cases the cause of thyroid cancer is unknown, there is little that can be done to prevent the disease. Although today their is great hope in the treatment of thyroid cancer by removing cause.
If you live near a nuclear power plant ~ you maybe eligible to obtain potassium iodide. Because the excessive iodine intake can be harmful, consult a physician before consuming a diet rich in the nutrient that can help maximize function. French Researcher Dr. Elisabeth Cardis whom performed a case control study of 1300 controlled patients who lived near Chernobyl. Whom at the time of the disaster back in the 1980’s that was 15 or younger and found those deficient in iodine was three times more likely to garner radiation – related thyroid cancer.
