The immune system is our body’s way to defend itself from the unknown.
The unknown being diseases or anything that doesn’t belong in our body. The immune system can help us fight infections or diseases primarily caused by bacteria, parasites, and fungi. It also attacks viruses.
There is research suggesting the impact obesity has on the development of certain cancers. According to Sir Richard Doll and Richard Peto, 35% of cancer deaths in the USA might be linked to diet. This is particularly certain for endometrium and breast cancer. The Washington School of Medicine submitted a document that explains obesity accounts for about 20% of all cancer cases.
The concept of ‘teaching’ the immune system to recognize and destroy cancer cells is in a new era. Anticancer immunotherapy is just beginning with the long-term control of cancer cells. This is called Immune therapy which uses the body’s own immune system to target and kills these disease-carrying cells. (more…)
Scientific proof emerges from the heart of the conventional scientific establishment, not from the fringes of alternative medicine.
A book published two years ago called Cancer as a Metabolic Disease, written by Thomas N. Seyfried, Ph.D. (more…)
When diagnosed with cancer, there are many key factors that play an important role in deciding what treatment is best for you.
First, you must know how severe is cancer.
There is a different TNM system for each type of cancer. The TNM system was created by the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC).
While it’s certainly true that global lifestyle-related diseases like cancer are on the rise, the biggest risk factor for cancer is age.
The simple fact is that more people are living long enough to develop cancer because of our success in tackling infectious diseases and other historical causes of death such as malnutrition. (more…)
According to new research and publisher Lee Euler, coconut oil and a ketogenic diet can help fight against cancer.
The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet that in medicine is used primarily to treat difficult-to-control epilepsy in children. The diet forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates. Lee Euler explains how this can also help fight cancer.
Leukemia is a type of cancer found in blood, bone marrow and is caused by the rapid production of abnormal white blood cells.
These abnormal white blood cells are not able to fight infection and impair the ability of the bone marrow to produce red blood cells and platelets.
Biomedical research has provided undeniable evidence of the interconnectedness of the mind and body.
And there is a widespread belief among psychologists, and many others, that cancer is caused, at least in part, by abnormal or unbalanced mental processes.
