Tips For Preventing Cancer?

Thursday, August 31, 2006

Cancer is one of the most feared diseases of all time. There are so many different kinds of cancer that can strike both men and women, even children.
While modern medicine does claim a little success in eliminating some kinds of cancer, its failure rate is dastardly!
The American Cancer Society estimates that nearly 1,400,000 will be diagnosed with cancer in 2006. Over million will die of cancer in 2006. In addition, it is believed that 41.28% of men and women born today will be diagnosed with cancer at some time during their lifetime. This is nearly one person in two.
As frightening as the statistics are, there is so much that we can all do to reduce our odds of being a victim of cancer!
Nobel prize winner, Dr. Otto Warburg, found that healthy cells obtain their energy from oxygen, while cancer cells get their energy from fermentation, or the production of sugars! Cancer is caused by an oxygen deficient, glucose-rich (sugar) environment. Cancer cannot exist when the body is flooded with aerobic oxygen!
The body needs to have a proper pH balance (potential Hydrogen) in order to be in optimum health. A higher pH is more alkaline and oxygen rich. A lower pH is more acid and deprived of oxygen. A pH of 7.0 or higher is alkaline. Below 7.0 is considered to be acidic.
Some basic guidelines for eating to help balance your pH include:
Drink a lot of water.Eliminate all soda pop.Reduce the amount of meat you eat.Minimize your consumption of sugar and sweets.Eat a lot of vegetables, including raw vegetables.
Much great information and more detail on balancing the pH, plus guidelines for eating can be found at www.hopeforcancer.com
Other tips that may be beneficial to helping you prevent cancer, I believe, should include the following:
1. Get regular exercise.2. Get adequate sleep.3. Consume good quality vitamin and mineral supplements.4. Reduce stress in your life.5. Laugh.6. Have at least one or two pets. Dogs & cats can be wonderful friends to havearound.7. Do not smoke cigarettes.8. Use natural cleaning products as much as possible.9. Avoid excessive use of pesticides.10. Eat organic foods when possible and fewer processed foods. Fruits, vegetables and meats can all be obtained organically. Foods grown organically have been grown without the use of pesticides and usually have a higher vitamin-mineral content than conventionally-grown foods.11. Do internal cleanses. Our bodies acquire numerous parasites and toxins. Probably over 90% of our diseases are caused by these parasites and toxins. Your local health-food store should be able to give you good information about various kinds of cleanses.
In summary, if your body is healthy & you rarely get sick because you are practicing good health habits, your chances of avoiding the perils of cancer are excellent!About the Author:

Have someone check your back regularly for any unusual spots or moles. The cancer can quickly spread to the lymphatic system and cause secondary tumors anywhere in your body. Cancer does not go away on its own and pretending everything is alright is a quick way to an early grave. You owe it to your partner, children and friends who all love you to look after yourself.
Men are worse than women at getting treatment, as with so many medical conditions. Men are more cowardly about going to a doctor than most women, perhaps because women are used to being probed and stared at through pregnancy. The result is that men have a worse survival rate than women for skin cancer, simply because they delay treatment for longer.
Exposure to ultraviolet light from the sun is strongly linked with an increased risk of developing skin cancer. The Australians have a slogan, slip, slap, slop. Slip on a shirt, slap on a hat, slop on the sunscreen. This is one of the best ways of reducing your risk of developing skin cancer.
Certain skin types are very short of the protective chemical, melanin. Red heads usually have very fair skin with freckles and need to be particularly sensible about exposure to the sun in summer.
There are certain parts of our skin that we rarely think to protect with sunscreen including earlobes, lips and hands among them. Special care needs to be taken with these areas. If you are going topless for the first time, apply lots of cream to your breasts and a sun block to your nipples. Sunburned nipples are very painful.
Skin cancer is often treated by cutting away the affected area, this may leave a scar, but usually removes the cancerous tissue completely, if caught in the early stages.”About the Author:
