The beauty of being a doctor is in the opportunity to observe a patient getting well. Doctors at the Carolina Center for Integrative Medicine in Raleigh were feeling great because their cancer patients were improving rapidly. Their lab tests showed better blood counts faster than ever and the patients were smiling a lot more. And other patients were reporting more energy and better moods as well. The rapid improvement gave them an idea that what was happening should be documented. They created an official research project and charted the effects of what the patients were using to get better for 60 days. The doctors followed 30 patients during the 60 days. The patients were observed clinically and...

While its importance as the chief crop cultivated for food and linen diminished in the 70s, the flax plant made its way back into the mainstream during the 90s as a natural wonder of the health industry. It appears that the rich, unsaturated fat called Omega 3 when combined with a generous amount of the compound lignan as well as the soluble fibers in its hull, fuels the ability of flax seed to promote and sustain the proper functioning of the bodys vital systems. Lignans are known to exhibit cancer prevention properties while soluble fiber treats constipation and other digestive tract problems. But the health benefits of flax seed do not conclude at this note. In fact, the flaxs potential as...

Often cancer patients assume that doctors and traditional therapies hold their only hope to successfully battling the disease. Some cancer patients get better with chemotherapy and radiation, however, many do not. What many people do not know is that they can use their body's natural processes to stop their cancer in its tracks. For decades, scientists have been investigating an alternative method for eliminating cancer. The information that they have found is simple and allows each person to create an environment inside his or her body where cancer cells simply cannot live. We understand that all the cells in our body need to be supplied with energy to function. This energy comes from glucose...

I recently talked to two women who have cancer. While we talked I made the mistake of referring to them as cancer victims. Politely and with a seemingly deep down calm and non-judgmental manner, they told me they do not consider themselves victims, but cancer survivors. We talked more about cancer and the things they feel have sustained and helped them. Lori was relatively new to the cancer world having been diagnosed in 2007. Alaina however, was an old hat navigating the cancer world, having been diagnosed with Inflammatory Breast Cancer approximately four years ago. My talk with Alaina and Lori was for an interview I was conducting on surviving cancer and here’s what these two positive cancer...

> While a patient is the object of medical care; a client is the subject of medical services. In language as in life, an object is passive, a subject is active. I won’t be able to change the nomenclature of the medical profession but I refer to myself as a client, not a patient. By definition, a patient is “One who receives medical attention or treatment.” The archaic meaning was “One who suffers,” from the Latin verb meaning “to endure.” A client on the other hand is “The party for which professional services are rendered.” Catch the nuance? A patient is the object of medical care; a client is the subject of medical services. In language as in life, an object is passive, a subject is...

Pet owners today are quite different from the pet owners of fifty years ago.

Today people often treat their pets no differently than they would their children buying them the best of everything and pampering them like you would not believe. Because people feel such a strong attachment to their pets, they are doing whatever it takes regarding their healthcare from giving them dog vitamins all the way to seeing acupuncturists to rid the dog skin allergies they may have.

Milk Thistle, or Silybum marianum, is a weed-like plant that grows in rocky, dry soil. The plant reaches heights of 3 to 10 feet, has dark green, spiny leaves, and big flowers that range from pink to purple. A native to the Mediterranean, milk thistle now grows wild in Europe, North America, and Australia. The Latin name marianum was derived from a legend that the herb's leaf veins turned white after being touched by a drop of the Virgin Mary's breast milk. The name milk thistle was given to the herb because of the milky white juice exuded by the leaves when crushed. Milk Thistle's healing properties were first recorded by Pliny the Elder, a Roman naturalist who completed the writing of Natural...

What are the symptoms of lung cancer? You should be suspicious if you have a nagging cough that brings up blood-streaked sputum, more so if you smoke and have a family history of the disease. Other warning signs are shortness of breath, hoarseness, chest pain, arm or shoulder pain, loss of appetite and weight. "Generally, lung cancer is first suspected because of your physical symptoms or because an abnormal mass appears on a routine chest X-ray. Loss of appetite and weight may be the first signs of a lung cancer. In this case, the first step is to determine with certainty whether or not cancer is present.

You don't have to be Michael Jackson to experience tremors or shaking hands. Most people have them at one time or another and their causes are as varied as the moves Jackson can make. If your hands tremble, it could be the result of fatigue or tension. Mine usually does after long hours of writing. Others get the shakes after ironing clothes or doing heavy manual labor. Some shake when they are anxious or enraged. Try holding up a flower to your favorite movie star or cover girl and you'll see what I mean.

Dementia often occurs in the elderly but it can also affect young adults though rarely. If the condition starts before the age of 65 it is called presenile dementia. The senile type, on the other hand, occurs after 65. Depending on its cause, dementia may either be primary or secondary. Primary dementia is found in about 80 to 90 percent of cases and is caused by pathological changes in the brain cells or cerebral vessels. While these changes are also apparent in secondary dementia, these are the result of other diseases. This is true in 10 to 20 percent of cases.
