Understanding Cancer

1. Understanding Cancer
   
   Cancer is not one disease, rather a category of about 100 different types of disease that have similar traits.
   
   Cancer is a disease which starts with the mutation of a single healthy body cell genetically into a cancer cell. This cell and its descendants, produce a tumor (which is a grouping of cancerous cells), and tumors produce the symptoms that an individual experiences as cancer.
   
   We don't recognize the disease until we start experiencing symptoms. If we ignore the symptoms for too long, the cancer can be almost impossible to stop.
   
   
2. Know Your Body: Watch for Changes
   
   One of its most alarming traits of cancer is its growth rate. That is why catching cancer in its early stages is so important, before it becomes invasive. Early detection is one of the most important factors in survival rates.
   
   Pay attention to body signals. Watch for sores that do not heal or look suspicious. Women, do breast self exams at least monthly. If you feel some kind of lump anywhere in your body, have the doctor check it out.
   
   Your doctor is your best friend here. But he (or she) will not be able to help you if you don't help him. You need to tell him about things that you've questioned in your mind. He may or may not find the problem on his own. The more information you can give him, the better.
   
   A "Stage IV" cancer should only be treated with the most potent of the alternative cancer treatments. These patients are in a very dangerous situation and time is critical, thus their treatment should be among the strongest.
   
   
3. Educate yourself. Go to the library, seek information online, seek articles on new treatments and find out what survival rates are. Go into your next doctor's appointment with a good understanding of medical terms and possible treatments.
    
4. Seek the help your doctor and subsequently a specialist immediately.
   
   Early detection is tantamount to your survival.
   
   Discuss the type of cancer, the exact location, and treatment choices. If you don't like the choices you are confronted with, seek a second opinion.
   
   
5. Continue to learn more about the disease, and the differences between a healthy cell and a cancerous cell, what they need and how they grow is critical to determining what to do to defeat the cancerous cells and to give your healthy cells their best chance of survival.
   
   There are three main differences between the two.
   
   1) Healthy cells need and thrive on oxygen. Cancerous cells do not.
   2) Healthy cells are alkaline. Cancerous cells are acidic.
   3) Cancerous cells give off an excessive amount of ions, causing the cancerous cells to be positively charged.
   
   Knowing these differences means that if you can change the climate of the body in these three areas, you can make it difficult to impossible for cells with these three characteristics to thrive.
   
   
6. Change your diet immediately.
   
   Eliminate sugar. Cancer cells thrive in a sugar intense environment. This is not at all to suggest that sugar causes cancer. Instead, elimination of sugars, including fructose (sugar derived from fruits), will keep the cancer cells from growing/thriving as quickly.
   
   Eat lots of vegetables. All of them will aid your immune system.
   
   Eliminate carbonated beverages. Healthy cells thrive in oxygenated environments. Carbonated beverages introduce more carbon dioxide into the system.
   
   
7. If you smoke, cease smoking immediately. Yes, you've known that smoking was harmful, and you know it is difficult to quit, but knowing your body has cancer should awaken you to taking this threat more seriously. Try..
    
8. Test your body's ph. If it is acidic, the cancer cells will thrive. If alkaline, your normal cells will thrive.
   
   Change your body ph level. There are differnt ways to do this. Research and determine which way works for you.
   
   
9. Detoxify your body. Give your body every chance to fight the cancer and to eliminate all negatives from your system.
   
   
10. Eliminate stress from your life. Right! You have just been hit with the knowledge that you have a serious disease. Telling you to eliminate stress, when you have just heard very stressful news is very difficult to do. Regardless, do some quick life analysis. Other things that are stressful need to go from your life immediately.
     
11. Add laughter to your regime. People who have claimed remission of cancer and even a cure have claimed to have done nothing different than to watch funny movies and laugh heartily on a continual basis. At the very least, it will better your outlook and there are studies that prove that a positive outlook will aid your body recover regardless of the ailment.
     
    Thats all for today....
