When I design cancer/illness-healing strategies, my first intention is to discover what emotional issues may have led to manifesting the cancer or illness.

Another way I describe it:Do you have a strategy in place that will give you the highest probability for a successful healing? Or do you have a strategy for a possible disaster? Most of the time that disaster is slow coming; actions you are taking now in the present may mount up to an outcome you don't want.

The main hormone of the adrenal cortex is cortisol and the main hormone of the adrenal medulla is epinephrine. When tumors develop in the adrenal gland, they secrete excess amounts of these hormones. A cancer that arises in the adrenal cortex is called an adrenocortical carcinoma and can produce high blood pressure, weight gain, excess body hair... (Read All)

Advancements in External Beam Technology: Targeting the Tumor

Thu, 31 Jan 2008 00:00:00 +0100

Radiation therapy takes on several forms. Beam application, which is the most common one, involves targeting and bombarding a tumor with subatomic particles. The particles will simply pass through the skin invisibly and into the tumor, disrupting and often destroying the malignant cells

The trick is to be as accurate and precise with the beam as possible, not only with where it's targeted, but by regulation the strength of the beam particles sent through. Radiation beam tools used... (Read All)

Cancer: the Positive Negative

Sat, 15 Mar 2008 00:00:00 +0100

I was shocked when my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer.

We'd noticed a small change in her breast, but it didn't feel like a lump; it was just a little bit harder. That had happened years before when her breasts grew a little, so we didn't think another thing about it.

After all, we're young - in our early 30s. Breast cancer is something that happens to older women - not young, healthy, active women.

Of course, my disbelief was irrelevant. Not only th... (Read All)

Cancer - Treatment and Cure for Cancer

Cancer is an abnormal growth of cells which tend to proliferate in an uncontrolled way and, in some cases, to metastasize. Cancer develops when cells in the body begin to grow out of control. Normal cells grow, divide, and die. Instead of dying, cancer cells continue to grow and form new abnormal cells. Cancer cells often travel to other body parts where they grow and replace normal tissue. Targeted cancer therapies use drugs that block the growth and spread of cancer by interfering with spec...
