Cell Phones Dangerous Due To Brain Cancer Risk

Call me crazy, but don't call me using your cell phone.

clipped from www.emaxhealth.com New evidence on mobile phone hazard as cell phone usage is linked to brain cancer. According to The Independent, a recent study led by a renowned neurosurgeon, Dr. Vini Khurana, strongly demonstrates that prolonged exposure to mobile phone radiation will result in brain cancer and neighbouring tissue damage: It draws on growing evidence – exclusively reported in the IoS in October – that using handsets for 10 years or more can double the risk of brain cancer. Cancers take at least a decade to develop, invalidating official safety assurances based on earlier studies which included few, if any, people who had used the phones for that long. “It is anticipated that this danger has far broader public health ramifications than asbestos and smoking,” says Professor Khurana, who told the IoS his assessment is partly based on the fact that three billion people now use the phones worldwide, three times as many as smoke.

Prostate Cancer Treatment and Detection

Patrick Walsh was recently on Charlie Rose PBS. There's more here about prostate cancer than you think you know.. Good Read..

clipped from www.pbs.org DR. PATRICK WALSH Dr. Patrick Walsh, director of the Jane Fucanon Brady Urological Institute at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, shares his thoughts on prostate cancer treatment and detection. PATRICK WALSH: Well, there's a lot of speculation about it. We know that men that are Asian and grow up in Asia have a 2 percent lifetime risk for developing the disease. But when they move to the United States and live here for 25 years or more, their risk begins to approach that of Caucasian men in the United States. So it has something to do with environment, either things that we do wrong in the United States like possibly eat too much fat, or things that we don't do at all like not eating enough green tea and soy.

Mesothelioma Lung Cancer

Mesothelioma Lung Cancer is a rare form of cancers often associated with asbestos or Mesothelioma Straight

clipped from www.mesotheliomastraight.net What is Mesothelioma Mesothelioma is a type of cancer which is almost always caused by exposure to asbestos. In mesothelioma , malignant type cells form and develop within the mesothelium, a protective lining which covers the internal organs of the body. Mesothelioma is most common in the pleura which is the outer lining of the lungs, but it can also arise in the peritoneum or the pericardium which protects the heart.

Lasers detct Disease In Patient Breath

I hope the public get to use this technology and not just the dreaded insurance companies...

clipped from dsc.discovery.com Lasers Detect Disease in Patient Breath Feb. 22, 2008 -- Diagnosing life threatening diseases could soon be as easy as breathing. Researchers at the National Institute for Standards and Technology and the University of Colorado are now using lasers to detect specific chemical compounds in the breath of patients with cancer, asthma and diabetes. The technique, once perfected and commercialized, could save patients and insurance companies thousands of dollars and make disease diagnosis and monitoring faster and more efficient. "We hope that the technology will develop to be a very useful tool for preventive medicine," said Jun Ye, a study author and a physics professor at the University of Colorado-Boulder. "It can provide an early warning system to potential patients." In a much simplified version of the technique, the researchers simply look and see what colour the breath is after interacting with the comb and then diagnose a condition based on the colour.

Bras and Breast Cancer

Lymphatic circulation in many tissues (especially the primary lymphatics) are highly dependent on MOVEMENT. Wearing a bra, especially a constricting one with underwires, and especially to bed, prevents normal lymphatic flow and would likely lead to anoxia (lower than normal oxygen content), which has been related to fibrosis, which has been linked to increased cancer risk.

There we have it, ladies! Get those lymphatic fluids flowing! Chuck those restricting bras and shake those boobies!! It's good for you!

clipped from www.all-natural.com Natural Health and Longevity Resource Center Bras and Breast Cancer by Ralph L. Reed, Ph.D. In essence, what Singer and Grismaijer found was that the odds of getting breast cancer dramatically increased with bra-wearing over 12 hours per day. Women who wore their bras 24 hours per day had a 3 out of 4 chance of developing breast cancer (in their study, n=2056 for the cancer group and n=2674 for the standard group). Women who wore bras more than 12 hour per day but not to bed had a 1 out of 7 risk. Women who wore their bras less than 12 hours per day had a 1 out of 152 risk. Women who wore bras rarely or never had a 1 out of 168 chance of getting breast cancer. The overall difference between 24 hour wearing and not at all was a 125-fold difference. The results of this study are compelling, even considering that it was not a "controlled study" for other risk factors. most of the known risk factors can be related to bra-wearing behavior and/or the lymphatic system.

Raise a Pint: Scientists Say Beer Has Essential Cancer-Fighting Agents

Researchers warn that it would take 60 regular beers to equal the amount of xanthohumol they were able to brew in one beer.

I still say "YAHHHH!!"

clipped from www.foxnews.com German researchers have discovered that hops, the main ingredient in beer, contain essential cancer-fighting agents, according to a report in The Sydney Morning Herald. Click here to read full story Preliminary studies indicate xanthohumol, a compound found in hops, inhibits a family of enzymes which trigger cancer, as well as help the body detoxify carcinogens. "It's very healthy," said Dr. Werner Back, a brewing technology expert at the Technical University of Munich. "I think the ingredients in the beer are very good." Xanthohumol contains more powerful antioxidants than vitamin E and some studies indicate it helps reduce oxidation of bad cholesterol. "Xanthohumol has been shown to be a very active substance against cancer," said Dr. Markus Herrmann, also of Munich. "It comes in small sticky beads, which you find within the hops." But, don't start chugging down those beers just yet.

Breast Cancer: You might not need Chemo

clipped from wbztv.com Thousands of breast cancer patients each year could be spared chemotherapy or get gentler versions of it without harming their odds of beating the disease, new research suggests. One study found that certain women did better - were less likely to die or have a relapse - if given a less harsh drug than Adriamycin, a mainstay of treatment for decades Another study found that a gene test can help predict whether some women need chemo at all - even among those whose cancer has spread to their lymph nodes, which typically brings full treatment now The findings are sure to speed the growing trend away from chemo for many breast cancer patients and targeting it to a smaller group of women who truly need it, We are backing off on chemotherapy and using chemotherapy more selectively" in certain women, Doctors know that chemo won't help most of these women, but they have had no good way to tell who can safely skip its cost and misery.

CT Scans May Cause Cancer

clipped from www.wellness.com In a few decades, as many as 2% of all cancers in the United States might be due to radiation from CT scans given now, according to the authors of the report. Since previous studies suggest that a third of all diagnostic tests are unnecessary, that means that 20 million adults and more than 1 million children getting CT scans are needlessly being put at risk, Brenner and Hall write. Ultrasound and MRI, or magnetic resonance imaging, scans often are safer options that do not expose people to radiation, they contend. Millions of Americans, especially children, are needlessly getting dangerous radiation from "super X-rays" that raise the risk of cancer and are increasingly used to diagnose medical problems, a new report warns. Some experts say that estimate is overly alarming. But they agree with the need to curb these tests particularly in children, who are more susceptible to radiation and more likely to develop cancer from it.

Dr. Curing Cancer simply, cheaply & effectively
