All about Benign Breast Cancer

January 31st, 2010 admin

There are many causes of benign breast cancer. These are the changes in the breast tissue, any breast infection or injury, and any medicine that are taken that have caused the lumps or the breast pain. Changes in the tissues of a woman’s breasts occur with the fluctuating levels of estrogen and progesterone during the menstrual cycle.

Types of Benign Breast Conditions

There are many types of lumps and conditions in the breast that are benign and it is very important to know them so that you will not have to be unnecessarily alarmed when you find a lump in one or both of your breasts.

    * Fibrocystic changes. This increases the size and tenderness in the breast before the menstrual period. These lumps are just milk ducts and surrounding tissues that have grown and dilated to form cysts. The lumps that are formed may be hard or rubbery. Fibrocystic changes are often noticeable among women in their 40s.
    * Simple cysts. These are just fluid filled cysts that change in size with the woman’s menstrual cycles.
    * Fibroademonas. These are considered the most common benign tumors in a female breast. They are solid, round, and rubbery, and they can move freely in the breast once they are pushed upon and it is usually painless. This type of benign breast condition is due to the excessive formation of the milk producing glands and the surrounding breast tissue. This condition will most likely occur in women between the age of 20 and 30.
    * Intraductal papillomas. This condition is characterized by small, wart-like growths in the lining of the mammary duct near the nipple area and women between the age of 45 and 50 are the most likely to be affected.
    * Traumatic fatnecrosis. This condition will occur if a trauma like an injury occurs in the breast and the characteristics of the lumps are round, firm, hard, single, and usually painless.

What You Should Do If You Find A Lump

Once you discover a lump in your breast you should immediately see a physician because it might be a benign breast cancer condition. It is recommended to see a doctor right away if you find the following in your breasts:

    * An area that is distinctly different from another area in either breasts
    * A lump or a thickening near the breast or the underarm that is persistent
    * A change in the size, shape, and contour of the breast
    * A mass or lump in your breast
    * Changes in the feel or appearance of the skin on the breast or the nipple.
    * They are dimpled, puckered, and appear scaly or even inflamed.
    * A bloody or clear fluid discharge from the nipples
    * Redness in the skin on the nipple area or anywhere on the breast

A monthly examination of the breast is recommended to detect any abnormalities that are found in the breast and to prevent any development of benign breast lumps.

Cure for Cancer Lied About by Doctors?

January 31st, 2010 admin

“The People” have had enough apparently!

An “insider” revealed today that the “World of Medicine” is scamming people – and even worse: with the help of “law-makers!”

It seems that “money” (as usual) has blinded doctors and medical practitioners to the degree that they are now willingly *suppressing* the truth regarding cancer – its control, management, and even its cure!

That’s right: “cure!”

And what should shock you even more:

It seems that it’s against the law to say the word “cure” when describing anything that actually cures you.

Yet it’s very much okay to say that something “treats” or helps “offset” the symptoms of some health condition or disease.

But if you say “cure” (and even including when you in fact have a real and bona fide cure for something and can even prove it!) you can get arrested.

Ever wonder why we have a “healthcare” industry and not a “healthcure” industry?

It’s simply because no one’s out to “cure” anyone because there’s little money in doing so.

Instead, keeping you sick and marginally pain-free is all anyone’s really out to do for you these days – as doing so means you being “forced” to buy all the same drugs over and over again, and again, and … (you get the point!)

Of course, if a cure came along it would mean you buy it one time, and then you’re cured – and that’s that (over and done!)

But a number of doctors, philanthropists, and just plain old “good folks” armed with “real answers” and “real solutions” are stepping up and are NOT afraid of “Uncle Big-Bully Brother!”

One courageous fellow by the name of Melford Bibens, CPT, is doing exactly this, as he’s helped many people overcome “naturally” the dreaded disease of Cancer!

Not only that, but Melford has lectured and personally helped individuals beat the disease to the point that proven sufferers have actually gotten re-diagnoses as “no longer having the disease at all!” (Something that’s pretty much always been ruled out as a possibility altogether! – and now which may even be against the law!)

But it’s not certain how long Melford will be allowed to do this because “Uncle Sambo” has actually started using “Gestapo” tactics whereby people and businesses truly offering “cures” have been raided with masked armed police who even go to the point of forcing customers in the stores to get down on the floor at gunpoint!

So, if you’re wise and want to find out about this while it’s still possible for you to do so, then just visit this link now:

What About Places Like Jenny Craig?

January 31st, 2010 admin

A prevalent phenomenon in today’s world is the existence of weight loss businesses such as Weight Watchers or Jenny Craig. Are these good for the average person? Or, are they a complete waste of money, resulting only in a return to obesity shortly after stopping with them?

The writer generally believes that one can do for oneself what Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig can do. Therefore one should simply use one’s own head without contracting with others. But, that opinion is perhaps too obtuse and unrealistic for the person just starting out on a physically transforming lifestyle.

Making a new year’s resolve to drop fifty pounds, thereby looking great for this year’s upcoming Christmas is hard. It takes a lot of effort to refuse the food you probably love and feel you cannot really live without. It also takes a lot of courage to simply do your daily workouts. Simply sticking with it may almost take all of your emotional time and energy.

If that is true for you, you may not be as able to wisely choose what you should eat for energy and tissue repair. Jenny Craig and Weight watchers do a good job of telling you what to do in these areas. They can even send you individual meals if you would like. Having your diet on that kind of cruise control can free your mind to stay on track with your workout routine.

Places like Jenny Craig and Weight Watchers will also encourage you. Largely, this is because your success is the best advertising for them. But it’s also because many of those who work for them have been overweight as well.Consequently, they will know what you are going through and will be able to encourage you in a way that will not damage your pride.

You need nutritional and emotional support of this nature. Too few of us get these from home, where we may even have spouses who are against our weight loss aspirations. Granted, they may not be openly antagonistic, but the threat of a physical transformation may actually cause some resistance in them. That can result in them not helping with the dietary changes that are necessary. Sad to say this may even be the case in spite of your MD saying that you simply must drop the weight to avoid more serious future problems such as diabetes.

Should you try one of these big chains to help you win the losing game? Yes, if you need them as many of us do. The only warning is that their diets may not be enough if you are also on a strenuous bicycle or running program. In that case you might want to at least tell them beforehand or consider supplementing with controlled amounts of extra calories from things like honey or olive oil.

Facts You Should Know About Hypnosis Weight Loss

January 30th, 2010 admin

Controlling your weight and avoiding weight gain as you get older are important ways to prevent a host of weight-related health problems.

Indeed, if you are more than 20 pounds over your ideal weight, you are at greater risk for a rogues gallery of potentially deadly conditions, including diabetes, high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, endometrial cancer, obstructive sleep apnea, and breast cancer.

What is more, most people who are overweight tend to avoid exercise, and that avoidance just adds to the toll paid for extra pounds.

If you have a sedentary lifestyle and are overweight, you are at a higher risk of cardiovascular disease and other health problems. And, if you already have a medical condition such as high cholesterol, being overweight puts you at higher risk for complications.

The good news is that even modest amounts of weight loss can improve your health significantly. Loss of 10% of body weight can reduce blood pressure, high cholesterol, , and high blood sugar levels.

Today, there are many procedures that can contribute and help people loss weight effectively. One of the known procedures in losing weight is through hypnosis.

However, many misconceptions have come up with regards to the application of hypnosis in losing weight. And because it does not involve drugs or any kinds of medications and surgery, many people tend to think that losing weight through hypnosis seems to be one of the safest weight loss programs.

To know more about hypnosis and its effects on losing weight, here is a list of some facts that will give you an insight about what it can do to your body weight.

1. Hypnosis can be an imminently risky if not done properly and not utilize by people who are highly trained with the real concept of hypnosis.

Even if many people tend to think that hypnosis will not pose imminent danger to their health, still, it is important to know that the person who will do the procedure is skilled enough and that he or she knows what factors to consider before doing the procedures.

2. Hypnosis alone cannot eliminate excess fat from the body and, therefore, make somebody lose weight.

Most health experts contend that hypnosis should only be a part of a whole assimilated process. It should never be used as the sole weight loss procedure.

Moreover, one session of hypnosis will only have very minimal results on an individuals weight. When losing weight, hypnosis matched with psychotherapy will be more effective than hypnosis alone. This is because hypnosis is only a state of deeply relaxing the mind, in which one can still be in control of his or her own body.

3. Hypnosis is one way of getting into the subliminal state of a person. When a person is on the hypnotic stage, the body is more responsive to suggestibility because of its intensified state of concentration.

However, this does not necessarily mean that through hypnosis, one can already reprogram the mind of an individual.

In reality, hypnosis can only run the range from trouble-free relaxation condition to proper initiation managed by a professional hypnotist. Hence, it should not be considered paranormal and magical in its upshots.

Boiled down, people should be more aware that hypnosis is not a sole effective process in losing weight. It is more of a facilitator of various treatment techniques.

Therefore, it should be combined with other weight loss management program to be effective in making people lose excess weight. In this manner, people will be able to lose more weight with a more relaxed and refreshed state of mind.

As they say, a healthy mind is a healthy body.

All About Cervical Cancer

January 30th, 2010 admin

Cervical cancer is known to develop on the lower area of the uterus, which is known as the cervix. In the United States, cervical carcinoma or cervical cancer is regarded as the third most prevalent gynecologic cancer among women of all ages. However, it is known to be the most common among those in their twenties. This type of gynecologic cancer is known to usually affect women who are aged 35 to 55 years old.

The Cause

The cancer of the cervix is typically caused by the human papillomavirus or HPV, and the transmission of this virus is through sexual intercourse. The younger the age of a woman when she first had sex and the number of sexual partners she had would increase the risk for cervical cancer. The risk for acquiring the illness would also escalate if sexual intercourse is done with men who had previous sexual partners also having cervical cancer. A weakened immune system and smoking cigarettes are also other risks for the development of the cancer of the cervix.

The Symptoms

The precancerous changes that could lead to cervical cancer will typically bring no symptoms at all. During its early stages, cervical cancer may bring no symptoms or may cause abnormal vaginal bleeding, usually after sexual intercourse. Spotting or bleeding that is heavier than normal could also happen in between menstrual periods or heavier periods than normal may also be experienced. Large cancers in the cervix have the tendency to cause bleeding and may also cause vaginal discharge that has a foul smell. Pain on the pelvic area can be experienced with cervical cancer as well.

Swollen legs as well as lower back pain could also be caused if the cervical cancer has already spread to the other parts of the female reproductive system and the other nearby organs. As this could block the urinary tract, kidney failure may happen without proper treatment, thus leading to death.

The Diagnosis

Regular Pap smear examinations and other such tests are known to detect the early signs of cervical cancer. In fact, Pap tests are known for as much as 90 percent accurate detection of cancer of the cervix, even before symptoms begin to develop. These tests could even detect dysplasia, which when treated could aid in the prevention of cancer.

If a Pap test is able to detect dysplasia or cancer cells or if a sore, an abnormal area, or a growth is noted during a pelvic examination of the cervix, then a biopsy would have to be performed. This will confirm or rule out cervical cancer.

The Treatment

The treatment for cervical cancer would depend on its stage. Those who are still experiencing the early stage of the cancer could undergo the removal of an area of the cervix. However, because cancer is known to be recurring, women who go through this are advised to return for regular Pap tests and examinations that would need to be as often as after every three months during the first year and then after every six months after this. In more advanced stages of the cervical cancer, hysterectomy as well as radiation therapy or chemotherapy would already be called for.

The Prevention Method

If you want to avoid getting cervical cancer, then it is very important that you subject yourself to periodic Pap tests and pelvic examinations. It would also be best if you get the newly developed HPV vaccine. However, you should keep in mind that this vaccine will only prevent cervical cancer and will not cure it.
