How to live "Cancer-free" life - Important and useful tricks

Women who are diagnosed and women who are not diagnosed with the killer disease, called "Breast cancer", for all , I have some important and useful tips or you can call it as tricks which may help you to lie life cancer-free. 

How does it feel to listen this word, "Cancer - Free"!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Life has many steps and each step that we go ahead is unknown. Pretty true that it is unpredictable. Many don't have the symptoms of cancer and yet they are been diagnosed with it. Some think that "cancer leads to death". No. it is not like that. Actually, according to me, God has given you another opportunity to stay healthy and be fit. Physical fitness is the most important factor that really matters for these diseases. If you are not physically fit, then nothing can be achieved. 

There are many techniques that will help you overcome all the hurdles for living life cancer free. 

 

• Diet
• Daily Exercise
• No stress
• Elimination of unwanted toxins from body which may form tumor
• Self Breast examination
• Water therapy
• Raw onions
• Fruits and Vegetables
• Early detection
• Carefully checkup of household chemicals like toilet cleaners, sprays, deo, etc before using
• Avoiding contraceptive pills
• Including daily intake  of either Wheatgrass powder or juice

As it is always said that "Health is in your hands"....

Firstly, being aware of is the most important factor. If you are aware of breast cancer or any type of cancer, then you are half avoided. If you want to do it full, then getting the right information is meaningful. 

Eradicating the fear of death also plays the unique role in treating any breast cancer patient. The patient always feels that she will die due to cancer even after getting chemotherapy or radiation. Emotional positiveness and no stress are the key factors. 

Know the symptoms, get aware of them as early as possible, get a perfect doctor if you find any lump, get it treated, etc. Your positiveness, carefulness, eager to get treated, eager to live life positively, knowledge of cancer treatments, sharing your experiences with others, all will make the doctors and your near and dear ones help in the event of your treatment. 

 

 

Help others to help you. 

If your family history has cancer, then you have to be doubly careful for yourself. Just like Diabetes, cancer genes cause cancer. The genes includes BRCA1 and BRCA2.

Coming to the treatment side, there are two  to three types. Chemotherapy, Radiation , Hormone Replacement Therapy, and sometimes surgery is also involved. 

There is one more dangerous aspect that everyone ignores, and that is the use of cell phones. Well some have doubts regarding the cause of breast cancer due to cell phones. There are some rays emitted due to which the breast tissues get affected and due to this the tumor is formed. So, it is harmful to use cell phones or put it in these words, that do not use the cell phones near the breasts. 

Share your experiences to help others and spread the word of awareness among people.

Can "Saliva Test" detect Breast Cancer?

Day by day , this disease named "Cancer" is becoming more and more nightmare for all of all ages. Everyone wants to prevent it by all means. Getting it in a lifetime is like handling a ghost in house. Nobody wants this ghost in their lives. True and there has to be some ways that can prevent it effectively. After all it is a foreigner, isn't it? 

There are new and fresh techniques that are tested and proved to be effective in prevention of breast cancer by scientists. In my earlier posts, I have shared some information to my visitors with latest news like, blood tests to predict and prevent breast cancer occurrence and recurrence, genetic tests that determine BC, 101 ways to prevent BC, recipes for breast cancer patients, etc. 

Getting detected earlier is the most important step in treating breast cancer or any other cancer. Because, early detection means good treatment and less suffering, as compared to other stages of breast cancer. One who has been detected in stage 1 or 2 are lucky in that matter as their survival rates are more. 

Recently it has been found out that, like blood tests for eg: ICH4 test and Cellsearch test, which are capable to predict the cancer whether it is occurring or recurring. Similarly, there is one more test called as "Saliva test" that can predict the occurrence of breast cancer. 

Now what is Saliva test? It is a way of testing the hormones , its status and its balance in the body. On the basis of this test , one can predict the occurrence of breast cancer.It a is also called as "Saliva Hormone testing". 

Vitamin D and mineral iodine, are the main and key ones in our body that play an important roles in maintaining the breast health. If anyone of them loses its balance, then there is a possibility of getting high risk of breast cancer. 

Other hormones like Estrogen and Progesterone, also go hand in hand with the maintenance of breast health. Estrogen is a hormone which takes care of cell growth and Progesterone is a protective hormone. In our body, there is a wear and tear or cells and tissues constantly in progress. If in that , new tissues are formed then the old ones and dead ones has to be shed down from the body to replace the new ones. If this doesn't happen then there is a possibility that the dead ones may make a house in the body which then turn out to be unwanted cell growth and then take the form of tumor. 

The lymph nodes play an active part in shedding the lymphatic fluid from the breasts. If they don't do this , then again like above the unwanted fluid form a tumor.

While doing this Saliva test, there is a need to inform your family doctor for Comprehensive Plus Panel Saliva Kit.

Breast cancer treatment or prevention - the natural way without chemotherapy and radiation

All have the fear of getting breast cancer. And why not? It is such a disease that may harm full body even if it is treated with chemotherapy and radiation. There may be some way out there which can really prove effective to treat breast cancer or let us say to prevent the disease from occurring. Now its high time that every woman should fight against it , even if anyone is suffering from it or not. Feel very bad for those women who have gone through the treatment and its side effects. They have come out of it but still after so many years, they are crying for pain in the hands, fatigue, tiredness, etc that are the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation. And the most important fear that is always in the mind of the women or the patients is , "Will it occur again ?" This doubt is always in their mind and always they keep on asking to everyone. Unfortunately, the answer for this is ," May be or may not be" . 

What else can one say!!! Even Oncologists and Radiologists have no answer for this. If asked they say that , can anyone predict about heart attack , for example , if occurred once will never occur or attack again in the lifetime? Yes, but there is a difference between a heart attack and cancer. The main difference is that there is no need for heart attack patient to take treatment that kills the good cells in the body also with the cancer cells in the chemotherapy. Heart attack can occur twice or thrice, but if cancer occurs likewise then , what will be the patient's body be ?

In my previous post, I have specified about some new technologies that detect the breast cancer. The robots may take this responsibility to find out the breast cancer cells in the body which may be a form of detecting the disease in the early form. Also there are 5 mobile apps that prevent breast cancer.
