In simple terms cancer refers to uncontrolled growth of cells, the building blocks of a body. But what are the building blocks of a bodyall Just as a concrete structure is made of bricks cemented together, a living body is made up of millions of microscopic units called cells. These cells are what comprise the building blocks in a living being.
What Happens In A Normal Body?
Different types of cells constitute a living body. Cells are identified on the basis of their location and/or function. Skin cells, bone cells, blood cells, muscle cells, cells of the stomach, hormone secreting cells, neurons (brain cells) are only a few types of cells. Specific type(s) of cells are responsible for controlling one or more functions/systems in the body.
Under normal circumstances, all cells are pre-programmed to go through defined stages of multiplication, growth, function and death. Their multiplication is regulated so an optimum number of a particular type of cells is maintained. Cells less than the optimum number show reduced function. Similarly, cells significantly more than the optimum number show increased incidence of the corresponding function. Old or damaged cells die to pave way for new cells.
What happens when cells deviate from their normal behavior and forget to die?
When Normal Becomes Abnormal
Occasionally, fundamental changes in cells render them incapable of dying. Such abnormal cells become immortal and continue to multiply giving rise to millions of their own kind even though the body does not need them. An abundance of abnormal cells forms lesions, nodular formations or other unusual growths on or within the body. "Tumor" is the general term used to refer to these abnormal growths.
NOT ALL TUMORS ARE CANCEROUS.
Tumors may be benign (harmless) or malignant (cancerous).
Benign Tumors
Benign tumors are harmless growths which may remain for years. Unlike cancerous growths, benign tumors are quite passive and limited in their development. Moles are one of the most common examples of benign tumors which may affect any part of the body at any time.
Most benign tumors go unnoticed unless they start affecting daily life. Some benign tumors have the potential of becoming cancerous if left untreated. Polyp development in the colon for instance may progress to colon cancer if it is not treated.
Malignant Tumors
Malignant tumors are abnormal growths that give rise to cancer. These tumors are aggressive in nature as a result of which they multiply rapidly, invade adjacent tissue and deform surrounding organs. They usually hamper general bodily functions and routine life.
Unrestricted development of malignant tumors releases some cancerous cells in blood supply. Consequently, they circulate through the body and lodge themselves in other parts giving rise to secondary malignant tumors. Spread of cancerous cells through blood supply is called metastasis. Clearly, treatment becomes extremely difficult after metastasis.
Who Is at Risk?
Though cancer can affect anyone at any age, some individuals belonging to certain age groups, gene pool, ethnic backgrounds, lifestyle patterns and/or gender have been observed to be more susceptible to particular types of cancers. For example, those who chew tobacco or smoke cigarettes have a higher incidence of oral and lung cancers. Women with family history of breast cancer are more at risk of developing the disease. Older men are more susceptible to cancer of the prostate glands.
Understand that individuals falling in none of the high risk category are NOT guaranteed against development of cancer. Unless the cancer is gender specific (e.g., cervical cancer affects only women), cancer can affect any individual.
What To Do?
Though there is no guarantee against cancer, certain measures can be taken to reduce the risk. Some of these steps are leading active lives, eating healthy, quitting smoking, moderate drinking (as compared to heavy drinking) and maintaining healthy body weight.
Aside from this, go for regular check ups. Early detection plays a significant role in success of the treatment and survival. Alternative Treatment For Pancreatic Cancer
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most difficult cancers to treat using conventional Western Medicine. That is where an alternative treatment for pancreatic cancer comes in. Pancreatic cancer is hard to treat because it has very few symptoms before it spreads to other parts of the body. This is because pancreatic cancer is usually a very aggressive. By the time it is detected, it is often too late for conventional Western medicine to do anything other than to prolong life a few months.
To understand pancreatic cancer, first we have to understand what the pancreas does (most people don't have a clue). The pancreas makes enzymes that end up helping us digest our cooked food. We need this help because cooked food has no more live enzymes present. One of the enzymes the pancreas produces is called trypsin. This enzyme eats holes in the walls of cancer tumors so that white blood cells can enter the cancer tumor and destroy it, (by the way, we all have cancer cells; if our immune system is in good shape and we have trypsin available, our body's destroy the cancer) so if we're eating a lot of cooked foods, we have little or no enzyme protection against cancer tumors because we're using all of our trypsin to digest our food. If our immune system is also in bad shape, then we have no more defenses left!
Of course, the pancreas also produces the insulin which breaks down the glucose our bodies generate from our food. In diabetes, the pancreas either produces an insufficient amount of insulin or none at all, so diabetics have to take in a supplemental supply of insulin.
So what is an alternative treatment for pancreatic cancerall Believe it or not, it all started back in the time of Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine. Hippocrates said that his cure for cancer was garlic and onions. At first look, this might seem ridiculous, but we have to dig deeper into why this would be true.
An important insight came in 1924 when Nobel Prize winner Dr. Otto Warburg wrote in a paper than cancer cannot survive in the presence of oxygen. It just so happens that garlic and onions both belong to a small group of foods that are naturally alkaline (have oxygen present), so Hippocrates may not have known why it worked, but he was right about his method working.
One of the traits that all cancer patients have in common is that their bodily fluids have an acidic ph. This is important because an acidic liquid tends to expel oxygen. An alkaline fluid tends to hold on to oxygen. An alternative treatment for pancreatic cancer and any other kind of cancer is to alkalize the body. This can be done by eating foods that are either outright alkaline or foods that become alkaline after being processed by the body. Since most foods are acidic, it may be necessary to also ingest an alkaline supplement like calcium.
Calcium is definitely alkaline and has many other benefits to the body. All calcium is good, but coral calcium is the best. Its calcium is ionized so its absorption rate by the body is 100%. If marine grade coral calcium is used; it's even better because it also has up to 80 types of microbes that will help with digestion in the small intestine. It also has half as much magnesium as calcium. This ratio of calcium to magnesium is necessary to prevent the calcium from causing constipation.
To facilitate the absorption of calcium it's necessary to also take Vitamin D. In their book, "The Calcium Factor" Dr. Carl Reich and Robert Barefoot recommend at least 5,000 I.U.s per day of Vitamin D along with six capsules of coral calcium to treat pancreatic or any other kind of cancer.
Another way to raise alkaline levels in the body is by using cesium chloride. It has a very high ph (14) and its molecules are very large, therefore its molecules get trapped inside the cells making them alkaline. This creates an environment where the cancer can't survive. Cesium is very caustic so it should only be used under a doctor's supervision.
Western medicine tends to ignore the acidity problem because Western medicine is focused more on immediate treatments for a disease rather than the cause of the disease. A lot of people have no sign of cancer after being treated with chemo and radiation therapy. What doctors don't talk about is that most of these people have cancer again within five years because the cause of the cancer hasn't been addressed.
If you do have pancreatic cancer, remember that chemo and radiation therapy are only treatments, not preventions of a cause. If you ask people that have survived more than five years after having pancreatic cancer, you may find that they have "cleaned up" their life and they've changed their diet so that ends up being more alkaline. They have alkalized their bodies and used an alternative treatment for pancreatic cancer and didn't even know it.
I live in a suburb of Portland, OR. I first got interested in alternative medicine in 1994 after I suffered a major stroke. My doctors told me that I would improve a little on my own during the first six months, but after that there would be very little improvement. They also said that there was nothing they could do. At this point I became very disillusioned with Western medicine and started studying the alternatives.
