This is another cancer patient, Chris of Adelaide, Australia. He basically give his own testimonial.
In short, Chris was experiencing constipation, blood in his stools and piles (hemorrhoids). He went to physicians and was diagnosed with Stage 4 rectal cancer. He said that he was not in much pain at that time. The tumor was fairly large, at 13-16 cm. continue reading…
It has been reported that rectal cancer rates in people under 40 years of age have been steadily rising for the last 20 years. Cancer researchers and scientists say that they are baffled about this, and have no real idea of why this is the case.
Colon cancer, and related rectal cancer, are thought to have similar risk factors, but colon cancer rates have been constant while rectal cancer rates have grown by about 4% per year. This was reported in the journal Cancer. What is most disconcerting is that scientists have absolutely no idea why this is the case. Rectal cancer rates in older population segments have been increasing as well, but this increase is probably due to more frequent cancer screenings which leads to more cases being diagnosed. continue reading…
This video examines the connection between melanoma and sunscreens. In addition, environmental toxins, UV-A and UV-B, and a plethora of other related issues are discussed by this expert from UC-San Diego, Edward Gorham, PhD.
In summary, they found that melanoma is correlated with higher latitudes, indoor workers, and more affluent countries. Pigmentation is a protective factor, and people who have the ability to tan are at a lower risk of melanoma. Melanoma incidence is increasing the fastest of all the cancers. 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.
