In 2004 the FDA approved an implantable, rice grain sized microchip for use in humans. The tiny subcutaneous RFID chip, made by a company called VeriChip, is being marketed as a lifesaving device. If you're brought to an emergency room unconscious, a scanner in the hospital doorway will read your chip's unique ID. That will unlock your medical records from a database, allowing doctors to learn about your penicillin allergy or your pacemaker. The tiny, passive RFID devices are injected under the hide. They do not contain the medical data in question, but instead store a unique ID number that is used to access records on a remote server maintained by Applied Digital, using a handheld reader. VeriChip...

The discovery that was made about aspirin was shocking. Aspirin can actually save lives! It was thought that people that suffer from cancer and have a heart attack should not be given any aspirin whatsoever, because this will cause bleeding and lead to death. However, scientists have now proven that this is very untrue. On the contrary, people that suffer from heart attacks and have cancer should take aspirin. This not only makes them feel better, but it actually saves their lives. These discoveries are very recent and will actually cause a radical change in the way cancer patients are treated for a heart attack. At first it was believed that because people that suffer from cancer suffer from a bad...

Although there are many types and forms of cancer, the cancer of the throat is a dangerous type of cancer affecting many people around the world these days. The cancer of the throat can affect any human being, but a certain group of people are more prone to this form of cancer. Cancer of the throat is more prevalent in people who smoke regularly or are exposed to a lot of passive smoking. People with chronic acid reflux disease are also at a higher risk of contracting this type of cancer. Another group of people that are more at risk of contracting cancer of the throat are those with a family history of this disease. A cancer that affects the pharynx (the area that connects the mouth and the nasal...

Living with cancer and managing its often debilitating repercussions, solicits empathy. Depression, anxiety about the outcome, fear of the future and realization of dying soon can make a hell on earth for a cancer patient. However, despite the massive pain of testing positively in cancer diagnosis, a patient must make efforts to gain more knowledge about the condition, use this knowledge to conquer it and ultimately regain control over his or her life. Re-establishing the personal autonomy begins with accepting total responsibility over an individual's physical, mental and emotional sobriety or well-being. A patient's attitude towards cancer determines how his or her significant others like friends...

When a cancer reaches it final stages, or also known as advanced cancer, it's usually no longer treatable. In these stages, the cancer has spread from where it started to other parts of the body. It is called "locally advanced cancer" if t has spread to only adjacent or nearby areas. If it has spread to distant parts in the body, it is now "metastasis cancer". Cancer staging is the process of finding out whether it has spread and how far from the primary site. Although there are more than one system used for staging different cancers, TNM staging system is used most. It gives 3 key pieces of information: T indicates the size of the tumor; N refers to the cancer spread to the close by lymph nodes...

After the second surgery, Johnny was unable to move his bowels for some days and the surgeon suggested a third operation! The surgeon said: "Because within five days you have not moved your bowels or did not pass out gas, you need another surgery." Johnny asked: "Did you ever come across a similar problem like mine with your other patients? What is the...

Cancer is one of the most closely associated diseases with hair loss. It is said that the normal scalp of an individual has around 100,000 hairs. Hair growth and hair fall is a constant cycle in which the old hair fall out by being replaced with new ones but this cycle works in a different manner with cancer patients. Cancer treatments such as chemotherapy causes tremendous hair loss, which often results in baldness. Chemotherapy drugs spread throughout the body in order to destroy cancer cells. Some of these drugs end up causing harm to hair follicles, which result in hair fall. The effect of this treatment differs from patient to patient. It is quite possible that some people may suffer from hair...

General Motors Corp. joined other sponsors that are pulling ads from the "Imus in the Morning" program following last week's controversial comments of the jock about African Americans as well as female college athletes. GM said it will stop advertising during the Imus show. The show originated on the CBS-owned WFAN in New York and is syndicated nationwide. The program also is simulcast daily on the MSNBC cable television channel. GM in 2006 was the top advertising spender at MSNBC overall and during the Imus program, according to TNS Media Intelligence. The automaker issued a statement that stated: "General Motors obviously does not condone the comments Don Imus recently made in reference to the...

p>Do you have an accurate picture of the credibility that others assign to you? If not, you are vulnerable to receive a shock. It happened to Don Imus-it could happen to you! A key ingredient in perceived credibility is a person's record. In defending himself, Imus insists that he is a good person with a good history. He wants people to know that he has raised millions for charity, that he and his wife run a ranch for kids with cancer and blood diseases, that he has used his influence to raise awareness for autism and other causes. Imus wants to be judged by the whole of his life, especially the good that he has done. Unfortunately, Imus's record has two sides. While carrying on his benevolent work...

In this generation, when business rules the day, it's refreshing to witness the (re)emergence of fundamental philanthropy. What is fundamental philanthropy? Simply put, philanthropy is any altruistic activity performed for the purpose of creating good or improving the quality of life. Fundamental philanthropy is then described as 'basic' or 'natural' philanthropy. This type of philanthropy involves using our own 'natural' resources, such as talents, knowledge and opportunities to perform an altruistic act. Fundamental philanthropy or intentional acts of kindness has become one of today's hottest topics. Voluntary association, voluntary giving, and voluntary actions - are gaining so much attention...

You are recognized by how you speak, write, interpret and think. In your natal horoscope, the planet Mercury indicates how you communicate. People who have Mercury in air signs (Libra, Aquarius, Gemini) ask questions. They bounce around concepts easily and may not be attached to any one thought. If something has an impact, they often remember what they hear verbatim. Air sign Mercury's have the gift of conversation. They like to talk, read, gather information and exchange ideas. If someone has Mercury in a water sign, (Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces) they retain knowledge best when it carries an emotional charge. They need to feel and absorb information. The perception that a person who looks away is...

g break season is just around the corner this is the time for us to get in the tanning bed and “bake ourselves beautiful”. Over 1 million people a day visit tanning beds despite the fact that skin cancer and melanoma rates are on the rise. No tanning is safe!!! Tanning beds emit both UVA and UVB rays; both are dangerous and lead to skin cancer. Also, they both increase the rate of aging. Tanning leads to a break down in collagen and elastin, these are needed to keep our skin plump, youthful and wrinkle free. Every time you tan you are doing cumulative damage to your skin increasing the rate of skin aging and skin cancer. We need our vitamin D!!! It is true the sun does help our body to...

Here are 10 things that we should know about tea. It's not just a thirst-quenching activity when we drink a hot cup of tea but instead tea leaves functions in so many different ways. Things we never knew that can be done by simply sipping a tea. Here are the reasons why we should include drinking tea everday.o Tea fights free radicals The tea contains high levels of antioxidants like polyphenols, flavonoids, and catechins that fights the free radicals and prevent it from harming the healthy cells.o Keeps your heart healthy It actually improves the function of the endothelia which is the lining of the blood cells like arteries and veins, so it helps lower the risk of a heart disease.o Boosts your...

We are taught from a young age to have an implicit co-dependent relationship with a medical doctor. A person sits with a physician and says, "Doc, here are my symptoms--give me something to fix it." Although, this is irrational, it is so pervasive that Homeopathic and Naturopathic doctors have taken on this omnipotent and obviously impossible role as well. It is especially true when the person needs to be an active participant in the healing process. People's want/demand for a 'quick fix' and demand that someone 'fix it,' is so pervasive that Homeopaths and Naturopaths have unwittingly taken on this impossible role without realizing the negative outcome. Homeopaths and Naturopaths need to go back...

Most people think that if you are diagnosed with cancer, it is dismal, hopeless and reason for utter despair. Not true in the least. I contend that a shift in perspective is the primary tool that is needed in order to fight and beat an acquired cancer - meaning, one that you weren't born with. You just have to understand what you are up against, and then fight like it stole something from you, because that is what it is trying to do. You must become a warrior! If you are a spiritual person, which I am, think of the awesome power of God, and the complexities of his creations. Humans are very complex beings, and yet we are quite simple as well. Our systems seem quite complicated, but we should...

ords “goji juice scam” could be interpreted as a reference to one of two very different scams. One scam would relate to the quality of the advertised goji juice. As an example, an advertisement that did not mention Himalayan goji berries could be seen as a goji juice scam as only the Himalayan berries have a nutritional profile that includes close to one dozen different ingredients. While there is at least one goji juice scam that deprives consumers of a high quality goji juice, there is yet a second, no less dangerous form for the goji juice scam. The second scam concerns the nature of information regarding one mineral in the goji juice. The second scam leaves out all of the available...

Hair Loss Remedies are big business, especially on the internet.

Nowadays, cancer is one of the most serious problems in medicine.Specialists try to discover new treatments. In clinics, the patients with cancer that start a new treatment are closely followed. Physicians determine the optimal dose which have the minimal side effects and offers the most numerous chances of survival. Because doctors make often adjustments, the treatment given to the patients does not always match with the treatment that studies found it to be the most effective. That's why sometimes people receiving the treatment doesn't feel very well, even if that treatment is supposed to save their life. If the patients have to get chemotherapy it is very important to respect the recommended...

Cancer death rates decreased on the average of 2.1 percent per year from 2002 through 2004 according to a new report from the Nation's leading cancer organizations. This is nearly twice the annual decrease of 1.1 percent per year from 1993 through 2002. These findings are listed in the "Annual Report to the National on the Status of Cancer, 1975-2004, Featuring Cancer in Americans Indians and Alaska Natives" published online October 15, 2007, and also appearing in the November 15, 2007, issue of Cancer. This significant decline in cancer death rates demonstrates progress in our fight against cancer which includes:o Effective tobacco controlo Effective screening techniqueso Early detectiono...

Cancer is a general term, describing a group of different diseases. Because these diseases are different, it is unlikely that a general cure for cancer will evolve. Each type of cancer needs its own treatment program. There are two common properties for all types of cancer: 1. Abnormal proliferation (so called neoplasia, that results in a neoplasm structure) 2. Invasive ability. Property that separates benign tumors from cancer. Cancer cells invade other regions by travelling through the circulatory system or lymphatic system. This process is called metastasis, in which disease is spread from one organ to another non-adjacent organ. Cancers can be classified according to cell type. 1.Leukemia and...

There are over one million new cases of skin cancer diagnosed every year in the United States, representing about half of all cancers diagnosed in the country. And skin cancer on a dramatic increase. There are twice as many skin cancers in our population today as there were 20 years ago. Given this rate of increase, chances are about 50/50 that you will develop at least one skin cancer lesion if you live to age 70. This is especially true if you are fair-skinned. While skin cancer can occur in people of all races, those with lighter skin have a much higher risk because their skin contains less of the pigment melanin, which helps protect against an overdose of the sun's damaging ultraviolet rays...

Dementia Dementia is not really a specific disease. It is used to denote a group of symptoms that are cause by disorders of the brain. People with dementia undergo drastic changes in the personalities and cognitive abilities. They may find it difficult even to carry out normal activities like dressing up, eating or brushing their teeth. They may become unable to control their emotions or solve problems. Along with personality changes they may even see things that aren't there. Dementia commonly occurs in Alzheimer's disease. Research shows that dementia is on the rise and the numbers are predicted to go up in future as well. The best approach to tackle this is by preventative measures. Vascular...

We wanted to hear from people who had used alternative treatments for their cancer, what did they think about it, what did they go through, what kind of results did they get from using alternative cancer treatments?

Fear getting cancer? You're not alone. The fear of cancer is one of the most prominent long-term anxieties plaguing modern man. A UK non-profit survey has recently demonstrated that more than 15% of UK citizens consider the fear of cancer to be their greatest fear. In many individuals, this fear can result in such debilitating panic that it interferes with normal life. Hasn't cancer caused enough pain already, to those who have it and their grieving friends and relatives? It is a real tragedy that, in addition to the devastating effects of the disease itself, cancer must cause this second-order anxiety among people who don't even have it. Cancer Anxiety Can Hurt Your Life Many of those who live...

Dr. Robert Young who created the pH miracle diet says we should stop thinking of cancer as an illness. Cancer is also not a mutation of the cells in the body. According to Dr. Young, cancer can be described as acidic liquid that spills into the cells, tissues and organs in the body. These metabolic acids build up in the blood and are then released into the tissues where it causes cancer. Nothing in life happens without a cause and according to the pH miracle diet books, cancer is a direct result of systemic acidosis, more commonly known as sepsis, which occurs when the pH levels in our body falls below 7.0 (the desired level being 7.4). Anything below 7.0 poses a threat to our health. The cells in...

Lymphoma is a highly problematic disease that raises serious impediments in the process of diagnosis. Considering the fact that it can occur in a variety of forms and produce a wide spectrum of unspecific symptoms, lymphoma is usually diagnosed with the aid of many different techniques. In order to establish the accurate diagnosis, pathologists need to analyze the disease from multiple angles. Morphological traits, as well as the genotype and phenotype of the lymphoid lesions should sometimes be carefully analyzed in the process of diagnosis. The administration of lymphoma treatments and therapies can only begin after patients with suspected lymphoma are given the correct diagnosis. In order to...

There are two ways of seeing the world. In the old paradigm nature is something the establishment goes against and attacks. The world is seen only through the 5 senses and what appears solid is accepted with trepidation. Everything is dissected and seen as separate. War is seen as a way to peace and it's a dog eat dog world with conclusions and actions based in greed. Science has evolved. We now know that what appears solid is mostly space. We know that there is a quantum field of possibility to play in. And thanks to scientists like Bruce Lipton, we know that chemical reactions in the body are preceded and maneuvered by thoughts and emotions. We can expand, include and rely on greater awarenesses...

According to the findings of a recent study conducted by the Cancer Research Center of the European Foundation of Oncology and Environmental Sciences in Bologna, Italy, the frequent use of aspartame considerably increases the risks of developing lymphoma cancers and leukemia. Although the long-term study was conducted exclusively on female rats, without involving the active participation of any human subjects, the results are still very conclusive: aspartame is a clear carcinogenic agent that has a major contribution in the occurrence and evolution of lymphoma. A very popular chemical sweetener used as a replacement for sugar-based sweeteners, aspartame is no longer considered to be harmless. The...

What happens after all the treatment is done? Most women ask how they will know if their cancer comes back and how they will be monitored during the years ahead. To begin with, many possible tests can be performed. While some are important, such as mammography, others, such as CAT scans and bone scans, do not contribute to longer survival rates and may lead to unnecessary anxiety, additional tests, and biopsies. The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) has published guidelines, "A Patient's Guide to Follow-Up Care for Breast Cancer." You can view this document on their website. (See asco.org, the "People Living with Cancer" section.) It is important to see your cancer specialist for regular...

Antioxidants are substances that work to stop the oxidation of the cell in your body. When cell oxidant they contribute to Alzheimer's disease, heart disease, Parkinson's disease, and aging.
