I guess that it’s great news to hear about a new treatment for Hodgkin’s lymphoma.  This treatment, called a ‘Radioactive Bullet‘, is said to have improved the cancer status of two-thirds of cancer patients in a pilot study that was performed.  And yes, we’re still talking about radiation therapy (with a ‘twist’).  It sounds fairly ‘high tech’ and flashy.  The basis of the treatment is that they bind a radioactive particle to an antibody that has an affinity for tumor cells over normal body cells.  This means that the radioactive particle binds to tumor cells and the radiation destroys them.   It is claimed that the tumor cells are exposed to the radioactive particles for approximately four days, and that healthy cells are experience little damage.

I don’t want to sound like a ‘doom and gloomer’, but we’re still talking about the same old tired strategies (chemotherapy, surgery and radiation, also known as ‘hack, slash and burn’).  This strategy may work for some. continue reading…

It appears that Vitamin D supplementation may reduce cancer incidence and relapse.  This has been reported for a while now, but it may be doubtful that people have heard it because there appears to be a lot more emphasis on treatments for cancer than there is for its prevention.  The treatments are hyped up and marketed fiercely, but the prevention is not as glamorous.  This seems to be a direct result of the ‘magic pill’ archetype that has been pushed for many years.

I guess that it seems much easier to just take a pill and be done with it, rather than change unhealthy habits that lead to disease.  The unfortunate part is that there is no such thing as a magic pill that will erase unhealthy habits that destroy good health.  All drugs have side effects, and prolonged use of drugs increases the probability that the side effects will have negative impact on the patient.

Studies have shown that Vitamin D levels in average people are lower than they need to be for optimum health.  Low levels of Vitamin D are also associate with a number of diseases.  So it is a good idea to supplement your Vitamin D, but it is also a very good idea to have your Vitamin D levels measured so that you know how much supplementation is needed.  Vitamin D supplementation may be a way to significantly lower your chances of coming down with cancer.  The video below is approximately 30 minutes, but has some great information.

This is an intriguing, scary question.  This is because cell phones have proliferated in modern life. It’s to the point where now, the majority of people have cell phones, and most of the children have cell phones as well.  They are very convenient, and have become virtually indispensable communication tools.

Unfortunately, they are known to emit radiation.  It is well-known that radiation is also known to cause cancer.  I find it naive to believe that cell phone radiation is 100% harmless.  I doubt if any regulatory agency or industry experts will be objective about this because there are many billions of dollars at risk.  It always seems that whenever a lot of money is involved, the facts get thrown out of the door. continue reading…

Looks like the experts are grasping for straws from the same old paradigm that hasn’t produced a cure for cancer in 50+ years of research.  Now they’re claiming that some bone drug (bisphosphonates) is reducing breast cancer rates in women who take them.  It is given to women to fight osteoporosis. Experts do not really know how the drug works to reduce cancer, but they have some speculation on the topic.  So even though they claim to be the experts, they do not appear to have any real understanding of cancer, how it works, and how it can be cured or effectively treated.  They also state in another article that this drug should not be used on women who do not have osteoporosis.

I may seem to be a bit reactionary, but the simple fact is that all drugs have side effects.  The drug approach can only be a temporary approach, at best. continue reading…

I’ve been hearing & reading about this alleged connection between genetics and cancer.  I know that genes do have a lot to do with life, but I’m dubious of the claim that cancer actually causes cancer in the majority of incidents.  It appears to be another attempt to obfuscate the cancer causation issue.  The ‘experts’ have been working to prove this genetic cause of cancer because it would keep the disease in the ‘complex’ category.  Complex to understand, and complex to treat.  And, of course, the only people who are advanced, qualified and licensed to understand, treat and charge exorbitant rates for more exotic cancer treatment methods would be these same people.  It’s just the same old situation all over again.

I’m sure that genetics plays some sort of role in cancer causation.  But I am seriously doubtful that it is the major causative factor in the majority of cancer patients.  I am hearing the pronouncements from the experts that, “All cancers are caused by damage or mutations to the DNA of formerly healthy cells acquired during a person’s lifetime.”  Now, a truism I have learned is that whenever someone makes a pronouncement with “All”, or “None”, that tends to be an opinion. continue reading…

The latest news published in the Archives of Internal Medicine publication states that the radiation from CT (computed tomography) scans performed in 2007 will cause approximately 29,000 cancers and kill around 15,000 people.  This is more evidence that Americans are being overexposed to radiation from diagnostic tests.

What is being uncovered is that there is a significant amount of radiation exposure to patients who undergo this procedure.  In fact, the dosage of radiation exposure to the patient is more than 100 times the dose of a chest x-ray!

The scary part is that physicians are performing millions of CT scans annually, and also that the numbers of scans is increasing. continue reading…
