Fast-Acting Remedies for Liver Diseases (Fatty Liver)

LIVER DISEASES
Hepatitis ! Fatty Liver ! Cirrhosis ! Obstruction ! Liver Cancer ! Genetic Disorders

Fatty liver causes liver enlargement, tenderness, and abnormal liver function. 

The most common cause is excessive alcohol consumption.

Another cause of fatty liver is non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), the most common chronic hepatitis not caused by viruses. 

HEPACOL Protects the Liver from Viruses, Alcohol, Drugs & Chemicals

HEPACOL is a powerful anti-oxidant formula that helps revitalize and optimize liver function by protecting the cells of the liver, blocking the entrance of harmful toxins, removing these toxins from the liver cells, and counteracting the harmful viruses, alcohol, drugs, and chemicals on the liver.

It helps the liver return to a healthy state, while enhancing immune function and aiding in the prevention of cancer. It also helps lower cholesterol levels, and reduces the risk of gallstones.

HEPACOL counteracts the hepatitis virus, and helps the body process nutrients, including protein, glucose, vitamins, and fat.

INGREDIENTS:

Ginger Root B.E.E. - contains volatile oils and aromatic constituents that increase bile secretion and inhibit nausea and vomiting, thus impairing appetite and digestion. It also helps lower cholesterol and reduces the formation of gallstones.

Pomegranate Fruit B.E.E. - works as a powerful anti-oxidant that neutralizes damaging superoxide free radicals, cleanses the liver and bloodstream, thereby, rejuvenating the liver's natural detoxification and cleansing functions, and improving the health of the entire liver.

Vitamin and Mineral Complex - in addition to enhancing anti-oxidant activities, they work together to counteract the hepatitis virus, and reduce the toxic effects of alcohol, smoking, drugs, and chemicals. The improve amino acide metabolism, detoxify harmful hepatotoxins, and promote the synthesis of liver cell protein, which will benefit damaged liver cells by recovering their normal structure and function. They also regulate cholesterol levels and enhance immune function and protect against liver cancer.

Thiamine (Vitamin B1) - enhances circulation and assists in blood formation, carbohydrate metabolism, and the production of hydrochloric acid, which is important for proper digestion. Thiamine also optimizes cognitive activity and brain function. It has a positive effect on energy growth, normal appetite, and learning capacity, and is needed for proper muscle tone of the intestines, stomach, and heart. Thiamine also acts as an anti-oxidant, protecting the body from the degenerative effects of aging, alcohol consumption, and smoking.

Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) - is an anti-oxidant that is required for at least 300 metabolic functions in the body, including tissue growth and repair, adrenal gland function, and healthy gums. It also aids in the production of anti-stress hormones and interferon, an important immune-system protein, and is needed for the metabolism of folic acid, tyrosine, and phenylanine.

Selenium Yeast - inhibits the oxidation of lipids (fats) as a component of the enzyme glutathione peroxidase. It is a vital anti-oxidant, especially when combined with Vitamin E. It protects the immune system by preventing the formation of free radicals that can damage the body.

Breast Cancer Virtually Eradicated

In a gathering of vitamin D researchers recently held in Toronto, Dr. Cedric Garland delivered a blockbuster announcement: Breast cancer can be virtually "eradicated" by raising vitamin D levels.

Vitamin D is "the cure" for breast cancer that the cancer industry ridiculously claims to be searching for.  The cure already exists!  But the breast cancer industry simply refuses to acknowledge any "cure" that doesn't involve mammography, chemotherapy or high-profit pharmaceuticals.

Vitamin D is finally gaining some of the recognition it deserves as a miraculous anti-cancer nutrient.  It is the solution for cancer prevention. It could save hundreds of thousands of lives each year in the U.S. alone.  Even Dr. Andrew Weil recently raised his recommendation of vitamin D to 2,000 IU per day.

Cancer Can Be Avoided

1.  Every person has cancer cells in the body.  These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion.  When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.

2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime.

3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumours.

4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors.

5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.

6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastro-intestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.

7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.

8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.

9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.

10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.

11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.


WHAT CANCER CELLS FEED ON:

a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal,Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in colour. Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt.

b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk, cancer cells are being starved.

c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.

d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes t o nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).

e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties. Water--best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.

12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become putrified and leads to more toxic buildup.

13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.

14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the body's own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.

15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, unforgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.

16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.

Battle Against Breast Cancer Can Be Won: Types of Breast Cancer

Part 1     [2]     [3]     [4]

CANCER OF THE BREAST is the most common cancer among women (alongside skin cancer).  It is the second leading cause of cancer death (following lung cancer) for women in the United States.  

Statistics 

The American Cancer Society estimates that every year, about 175,000 people are diagnosed as having breast cancer, and about 43,300 deaths occur from the disease.

The lifetime risk of developing breast cancer for American women is one in eight.  Surveys suggest that it is the health problem most feared by women--but the good news is that, since 1990, the number of new cases of breast cancer has stopped increasing.

And if breast cancer is detected early, the five-year-and-beyond survival rates is very high--about 95 per cent.

The human breast is a gland that contains milk ducts, lobes, fatty tissue, and a network of lymphatic vessels.  Cancerous tumors can arise in virtually any part of the breast, and are most often detected when a woman feels a lump.

In general, cancerous lumps are firm, never go away, and are usually (though not always) pain-free.  The vast majority of breast lumps are not cancerous (many are cysts or fibroid masses), but there is no way to tell without a professional's examination.

A lump that seems to be growing or does not move when pushed may be cancerous or may simply be caused by normal fibrocystic changes during the menstrual cycle.  A biopsy is required to identify the lump.  

Breast cancer can also cause a yellow, bloody, or clear discharge from the nipple.

Types of Breast Cancer

People tend to think of breast cancer as a single entity, but there are actually different types of the disease.  Some types of breast cancer include the following:

1.  Adenoid cystic carcinoma, malignant cysto-sarcoma phylliodes, medullary carcinoma, and tubular carcinoma.  -- These and several other relatively uncommon types of breast cancer tend to be less aggressive than the other forms. 

2.  Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). -- This is a condition that most doctors consider to be breast cancer at its earliest stage.  DCIS is a cancer contained within the milk ducts.  The rate of this type of cancer has increased dramatically over the past twenty-five years.  Fortunately, the survival rate for DCIS is nearly 100 percent.

3.  Infiltrating ductal carcinoma. -- This is a cancer that arises in the lining of the milk ducts and infiltrates (invades) the surrounding breast tissue.  Approximately 80 percent of all cases of breast cancer are infiltrating ductal carcinomas.

4.  Inflammatory carcinoma. -- In this type of cancer, a tumor arises in the lining of the milk ducts, and, as it grows, it plugs the lymphatic and blood vessels.  The skin thickens and turns red, and the breast becomes extremely tender and looks infected.  This type of cancer spreads very quickly due to the rich blood and lymph vessel supply associated with the inflammatory reaction.

5.  Intraductal carcinoma in situ. -- This is a localized type of cancer in which cancerous cells grow within the ducts.  This type of cancer may not invade other tissues.

6.  Lobular carcinoma. -- A less common form of breast cancer, lobular carcinoma--breast cancer that arises in the loves--accounts for about 9 per cent of breast cancers.   Lobular carcinomas occasionally occur in both breasts simultaneously.

7.  Paget's disease of the nipple. -- This form of cancer occurs when cells from an underlying cancerous tumor migrate to the nipple.  The symptoms are itching, redness, and soreness of the nipple.  Paget's disease always signals the presence of primary ductal carcinoma elsewhere in the breast tissue.

The Importance of Breast Self-Exam: Breast Cancer Battle Can Be Won

Part [1]     [2]     3     [4]

The Importance of Breast Self-Examination

It is important to examine your breasts each month past age twenty at the same point in your menstrual cycle, preferably the first week after your menstrual period ends.  Do not examine them during your menstrual period.  

Before the period, a woman's breasts may swell and become tender or lumpy.  This usually decreases after the period.  

The breasts also become larger and firmer during pregnancy, in preparation for breastfeeding.  Familiarize yourself with the normal feel of your breasts so that you can detect any changes such as enlargement of a lump.  A woman who is accustomed to the way her breasts feels is better able to notice subtle changes.  Any changes in your breasts should be reported to your health care provider, and you should be rechecked by a professional if you have any doubt concerning your examination.  

Since men also can get breast cancer, they can benefit from self-examination as well.  

The following is the recommended procedure for breast self-examination: 

1. While standing and looking in the mirror, raise your hands over your head and press them together.  Notice the shape of your breasts.  Place your hands on your hips, apply pressure, and look for irritation or dimpling of the skin, nipples that seem to be out of position, one breast that looks different from the other, swelling in a portion of the breast, nipple pain, an inward curve of the nipple, a discharge from the nipple (other than breast milk), or red scaling or thickening of the skin and nipples.
2. Raise one arm above your head.  With the other hand, firmly explore your breast.  Beginning at the outer edge, using a circular motion, gradually work toward the nipple.  Take your time when examining the area between the nipple and the armpit, and feel the armpit as well.  You have lymph nodes in the armpit; they move freely and feel soft, and are not painful to the touch.  Look for lumps that are hard and not mobile.  Cancers are often attached to underlying muscle or the skin.  When you have finished examining one breast, repeat this on the other side.
3. Lie down on your back and repeat Step 2.  Lumps may be more easily detected in this position.  Also, squeeze each nipple gently to check for blood or a watery yellow or pink discharge.

In addition to monthly self-examination, the American Cancer Society recommends that women between the ages of twenty and thirty-nine have their breasts examined by a physician every one to three years.

After age forty, the exam should be performed every year.  Women should get their first mammogram by age forty, then have one every year along with their yearly exam. 

======

Mammograms can detect small tumors and breast abnormalities up to two years before they can be felt, when they are most treatable.  A mammogram should be scheduled within the first fourteen days of your menstrual cycle, when the breasts are less likely to be swollen.  You should not use any anti-perspirant, deodorant, or powder on the day of the test, as it can interfere with the reading.

======

When breast cancer is caught in the very early stages--when it has not invaded nearby tissues--the cure rate is near 100 per cent with surgery alone.  Tumors of 1 centimeter or less in size carry a particularly good prognosis--less than a 10-percent likelihood of recurrence within ten years.  In general, the risk of recurrence rises with increasing tumor size and lymp node involvement.

======

The connection between exercise and cancer is a fairly new area of research.  Some studies suggest that getting regular exercise in youth might give life-long protection against breast cancer.  Even moderate physical activity as an adult may lower breast cancer risk.  More research is underway to confirm these findings.  Outdoor exercise where you are getting some (but not too much) sun exposure also raises Vitamin D levels (low levels have been associated with a greater risk of cancer).

Battle Against Breast Cancer Can Be Won: Risk Factors

Part [1] 2 [3] [4]

Risk Factors in Breast Cancer

There is probably no single answer as to what causes breast cancer, and it is reported that as many as 60 per cent of breast cancers develop without any known risk factors.

1. Estrogen

Researchers believe, however, that the female sex hormone estrogen is the most likely culprit in many cases of breast cancer. Estrogen promotes cellular growth in the tissues of the breasts and reproductive organs, and cancer is a disorder of unrestrained cellular growth.

Moreover, some of the known risk factors for breast cancer include onset of menstruation before age nine, menopause after age fifty-five, having a first child after age forty, and having no or few children.

One thing all of these risk factors have in common is that they result in the breasts being exposed to more estrogen for longer periods.

2. Environmental Factors

Currently, research does not point clearly to environmental factors (such as exposure to pesticides and other pollutants) as a possible factor in the development of breast cancer. However, research on the effects of pesticides is ongoing, and there are many health care professionals that advise avoiding these substances as much as possible, as they mimic these substances in the body.

3. Obesity

There may be a link between obesity and an increased risk of developing breast cancer, especially for women over fifty years of age. However, this is a complex issue. The risk appears to vary depending on whether a woman has been obese since childhood, or if she gained the excess weight during adulthood.

A study reported in the journal Cancer found that women who gained more than twenty-two pounds since their teenage years doubled their chances of getting breast cancer. Interestingly, the increased risk posed by obesity may also be linked to estrogen. Obese women tend to have higher levels of estrogen in their bodies than thin women. There are conflicting reports to whether eating a high-fat diet is linked to an increased risk of breast cancer.

However, many physicians believe that it is among the highest risk factors. When a woman eats a diet high in fat and low in fiber, her body produces more estrogen.

4. Heredity

Heredity is a factor in breast cancer as well. There are certain types of the disease that clearly run in families. Researchers estimate that only 5 to 10 percent of breast cancers occur in women with a clearly defined genetic predisposition for the disease. Hereditary cancers usually develop before the age of fifty.

5. Estrogen Replacement Therapy

Although it is possible for a woman to get breast cancer at any age, the disease is most common in women over forty, especially post-menopausal women. Estrogen replacement therapy (ERT), often used in the treatment of menopause, may slightly increase the risk of breast cancer after long-term use (ten years or more). This risk applies to those who are still using (or have recently stopped using) ERT. Five years after stopping ERT, the breast cancer risk returns to normal.

A recent report from the Iowa Women's Health Study has reported that ERT may not increase risk for most common types of breast cancer, but it may increase risk for certain rare forms of the disease. This is the first report of its kind to come out pinpointing risk for specific tumor types.

6. Gender

Men also can get breast cancer, but they account for fewer than 1 percent of breast cancer cases. However, while it occurs less frequently, breast cancer in men usually is diagnosed at a later, and therefore more serious, stage because neither physicians nor their patients tend to suspect it. Cure rates are, in general, the same for men as they are for women.

It is important to detect breast cancer in its earliest and most curable stage. Making healthy changes in diet and lifestyle, examining your breasts regularly, and having regular mammograms can increase your chances of avoiding or, if need be, overcoming breast cancer.

LIVER DISEASES

  

Hepatitis   Fatty Liver   Cirrhosis   Obstruction   Liver Cancer   Genetic Disorders

Lao Tzu said, in his famous book "The Art of War," the basic requisite to win a war is to know well your enemy.  To be able to win our battle against liver disease, therefore, is to start with at least a basic knowledge of the illness. 

LIVER DISEASES

Liver disease is categorized, both by the cause and the effect it has on the liver. 

Causes may include infection, injury, exposure to drugs or toxic compounds, an auto-immune process, or a genetic defect (such as hemochromatosis). 

These causes can lead to hepatitis, cirrhosis, stones that develop and form blockages, fatty liver, and in rare instances, liver cancer. 

Genetic defects can prevent vital liver functions and lead to the deposition and build-up of damaging substances, such as iron or copper.

Hepatitis

  

There are two major forms of hepatitis: one in which the liver is inflamed quickly (called acute hepatitis) and one in which the liver is inflamed and damaged slowly, over a long period of time (called chronic hepatitis).  

While hepatitis can be caused by any of the means mentioned above, most commonly it is due to infection by one of several viruses, termed hepatitis viruses.  These are hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E. 

• Hepatitis A -- spread through infected water and food and is especially common in children.  Adults may experience symptoms, such as jaundice, nausea, diarrhea, and fatigue, but children often do not even know they have been exposed to the virus.

• Hepatitis B -- can be spread by exposure to blood, through sexual relations, and from mother to baby.  Symptoms of hepatitis B may be absent, mild and flu-like, or acute.

• Hepatitis C - spread mainly by exposure to contaminated blood and is less common than hepatitis B as a cause of acute hepatitis, but the majority of the people who contract it become chronically infected, able to spread the infection to others, and usually have chronic damage to the liver.


• Hepatitis D - transmitted by blood and blood products. It only occurs in the presence of hepatitis B infection. The risk factors for infection are similar to those for hepatitis B.


• Hepatitis E - a waterborne disease, and contaminated water or food supplies have been implicated in major outbreaks. Consumption of faecally contaminated drinking water has given rise to epidemics, and the ingestion of raw or uncooked shellfish has been the source of sporadic cases in endemic areas.

Symptoms of Hepatitis

Typical signs and symptoms of hepatitis include:

• jaundice (yellow discoloration of the skin and sclera of the eyes, dark urine and pale stools),
  
• anorexia (loss of appetite), an enlarged, tender liver (hepatomegaly),
  
• abdominal pain and tenderness,
  
• nausea and vomiting, and
• fever, although the disease may range in severity.

Since the liver is responsible for the metabolism of alcohol, drugs, and environmental toxins, prolonged exposure to any of these can also cause hepatitis and/or cirrhosis. Combinations of drugs (for instance, acetaminophen) and alcohol have the potential to cause life-threatening acute liver failure.
