Major religious traditions have known for millennia that meditation can improve health. While some medical practitioners are still skeptical about its usefulness this is largely because they are not aware of the amount of evidence there is in the medical literature. Meditation not only changes the electrical activity of the brain but impacts on both the hormonal cascades and the immune system. When I first started as a researcher I was told in no uncertain terms that there was no evidence that stress contributed to ill health. Now it is known that stress suppresses the immune system through multiple processes including encouraging the white blood cells to die off. They call this stress induced...

Spontaneous remission has been known about for centuries. Unexpected recovery when a person was expected to die in the past was considered a miracle and many praised God for the intervention. The great majority of physicians now consider spontaneous remission or regression as an oddity which they can ignore as it falls outside of their explanatory models. Some deny the existence of spontaneous remission and regression, preferring to claim that the diagnosis was wrong in the first place. This is all very sad, especially for the person who seeks a miracle remission or regression from their terminal disease. They are told instead to face reality and come to terms with the fact that their time left on...

Exercise is well recognized as being a factor which can reduce the risk of cancer by an average of about 30-40%, with some cancers being reduced by up to 70% in some studies. But what is the situation with people who already have cancer? Can exercise help to reduce the risk of recurrence or even death? There are studies which indicate this is the case in breast and colon cancers and possibly others as well. A study reported in the Journal of Clinical Oncology in 2006 showed that the impact of physical activity on established disease was considerable. They looked at patients with Stage III colon cancer, which is colon cancer that had spread to the nodes, and who had surgery to remove the cancer. The...

Breast cancer does not recognize nor respect any age differences when it strikes in women, but when women under the age of approximately 50 are diagnosed with breast cancer, studies have found that the cancer is more aggressive and typically less responsive to the traditional treatments than when it occurs in older women. But researchers think that they may have discovered the reason that this is the case, which is forging new inroads into the treatment of and potentially a cure for some forms of breast cancer. These findings of course need additional research but the findings are significant and may lead to more targeted therapies that can treat affected patients more effectively. The research and...

Since the rate of women who are dying from breast cancer has been steadily increasing lately, it is important that you examine some of the information included in this article for you. The reason that women die from breast cancer is usually because it wasn't detected early enough, which is why it is important for you, as a woman, to know about the various screening methods that can detect a mass which may indicate breast cancer.

Four years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer. The cancerous tumor could not be felt by me or my gynecologist or the surgeon who performed my mastectomy. My film mammogram and my ultra sound were inconclusive, but I had a radiologist that wouldn't stop. The tumor finally showed up on a diagnostic mammogram. It was difficult to see and impossible to feel because the tumor was in the back of my breast close to the chest wall. I am one of those very fortunate women who have not become a statistic. Over 40,000 women die every year from breast cancer. Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths of women in the United States. (Lung cancer is first.) While there are no guarantees in life, there...

Simple concepts are often the most powerful ones -- and yet typically the most overlooked. This is particularly the case in the health care industry. For the past 700 years, society has been taught to think of the curing of cancer and other disease as a perplexing and complicated science that is best left in the hands of medical professionals. As a result, people have come to rely heavily on the information that is given to us by doctors and health care providers who are themselves usually unenlightened about alternative healing options that may be better for treating diseases than the normal medical treatments consisting of prescription drugs, surgery, radiation or other expensive, dangerous...

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the United States, accounting for one in three of all women cancer cases diagnosed.

Copyright (c) 2009 Katie Kelley Recent news reports have provided much acclaim to a "groundbreaking medical trial" from the University of Colorado Hospital, which has allegedly discovered a method of treatment that would "shrink the tumor with very concentrated, very localized medication" for patients suffering from pancreatic cancer. Physicians have been using a combination of the drug known as Tumor Necrosis Factor along with Imaged Guided Radiation Therapy technology. According to the 7 Denver News reports, the therapy operates in two phases with the first beginning as "doctors use an endoscope through the mouth to the stomach to deliver the drug and inject it directly into the tumor'. In the...

Over 200,000 women this year will be diagnosed with breast cancer. Of those 200,000 more than 40,000 of them will die. Breast Cancer can be defined as a malignant tumor that is found in the breast(s). No one knows for sure what causes the cancer. For a small percentage of people it is hereditary. If one or more women in your family has gotten breast cancer then there is a greater risk for you to get it as well. For that reason many women are opting to take preventative measures. Preventive mastectomy is when women who are diagnosed with breast cancer in a single breast decide to have both breast removed. The women who typically opt to do this are those in the high risk category such as those with a...

We keep hearing the health message that all people should undertake physical activity and most of us, if we listen to it at all, think, "Yes, yes. I'm sure it is a good idea." And then we promptly forget about it. However, until I started to research the medical papers I didn't have any idea of just how important exercise was in both preventing and treating cancer. This article will focus largely on the prevention aspect. Most of us are largely set in our ways and are very busy. The thought of having to add hours more of exercise time into our lives is just more than we want to have to think about. I am fully well aware that unless most people have a health scare, either their own or someone close...

We inherit DNA from our parents. DNA makes up our genes. Our genes control how cells behave. Less than 10% of prostate cancers are linked to these cell changes. Certain hormones may be the reason for prostate cancer. For example, high levels of male hormones or "androgens" may be part of the reason why some men have a higher risk of developing prostate cancer than others. It is possible, according to some researchers, that men with high levels of a hormone called IGF-1 can be more likely to get prostate cancer than others. For decades, coffee has been the subject of research focused specifically on whether coffee is more healthful than harmful. - Scientific research on coffee, caffeine and health...

You start cooking at home with fresh ingredients you buy at the super market. you start making your self a lot of vegetable juice, fruit juice and eat...

Medical industry survives on the results of researches, so that it has substance to work with for the progress of humanity. Cancer is the second biggest killer in the United States. Different types of cancer kill millions of people every year. A new research about breast cancer proposes that women, who have the cancer, can actually be saved by pregnancy. The rates of survival may increase if the women get pregnant. Ironically, several women are delaying getting pregnant in order to have a better chance of survival. In fact, this is a notion that is also supported by many doctors as estrogen is identified to accelerate the growth of malignant tumors in the breast. Also, women, who are of child...

Prostate cancer is one of the most common and abundant types of cancer that has ever existed. Actually, cancer in the prostate is the kind of disease that's occurring profusely in men. As a man reaches the old age like fifty and above, he is becoming more subject to this kind of cancer.

Why is ganoderma lucidum now being used as one of the natural alternative treatment for cancer, especially after chemotherapy? To understand this we will need to know the therapeutic contents of ganoderma. Ganoderma Lucidum contents vary at different stages of its life. In its mycelium stage, the main content is polysaccharide, organic germanium, a whole range of vitamins and minerals whilst in its mature stage, the main contents are polysaccharide, organic germanium, adenosine, ganoderic essence,triterpenoid, protein and fibre. The amount of polysaccharide and organic germanium in the mycelium is about four times more than that in the mature ganoderma. These differences leads to different...
