Cancer

Cancer :: The word "Cancer" comes from the latin 'Carcinoma' meaning crab. It is the most dreaded disease and refers to all malignant tumours caused by the abnormal growth of a body cell or a group of cells. It is today the second largest killer in the world, next only to heart ailments. The term covers more than 20 diseases. There are billions of cells in the body which, under normal circumstances, develop in a well-organised pattern for the growth of the body and the repair of damaged tissues. When cancer sets in, a group of cells start multiplying suddenly in a haphazard manner and form a lump or tumour. Cancer can spread very rapidly and eventually prove fatal, if not treated properly and in time. Symptoms :: The symptoms of cancer vary according to the site of the growth. The American Cancer Society has prescribed seven signs or danger signals in general which may indicate the presence of cancer. These are; a sore that does not heal; change in bowel or bladder habits; unusual bleeding or discharge; thickening or lump in breast or elsewhere; indigestion or difficulty in swallowing; obvious change in wart or mole and persistent and nagging cough or hoarseness. Other symptoms may include unexplained loss of weight, particularly in older people, change in skin colour and changes in the menstrual periods, especially I bleeding between periods. Causes :: The prime cause of cancer is not known. Certain cancer causing substances, known as carcinogens, however, increase the chances of getting the disease. About 80 per cent of cancers are caused by environmental factors. 40 per cent of male cancers in India are linked with tobacco, a known cancer-causing agent. The consumption of paan, betelnut, tobacco and slaked lime has been linked with cancer of the tongue, lips, mouth and throat. Treatment :: The effective treatment of cancer consists of a complete change in diet, besides total elimination of all environmental sources of carcinogens, such as smoking and carcinogenic chemicals in air, water and food. As a first step, the patient should cleanse the system by thoroughly relieving constipation and making all the organs of elimination the skin, lungs, liver, kidneys and bowels active. Warm water enema should be used to cleanse the colon. For the first four or five days, the patient should take only juicy fruits like orange, grapefruit, lemon, apple, peach, pear, pineapple and grapes. Vegetable juices are also useful, especially carrot and tomato juices. Diet :: Diet is now considered a major factor in the prevention and treatment of cancer. According to the American National Cancer Institute about one-third of the cancers are linked to diet. Thus, right choices of foods can help prevent a majority of new cancer cases and deaths from cancer.
