How many of you are dealing with cancer or know someone who is or someone that died because of this frightening illness? I bet, almost every one of you answered “YES” to that question. Now, have any of the people you’ve known with cancer die while they were still receiving their treatment? Here is the hard fact: Everyday, more and more people get affected from this unforgiving illness we call, “Cancer!” What is even worse is that many of them end up dying. Not just from the cancer itself, but from all the toxins and chemicals put into your body for treating actual cancer. I am going to tell you all what the difference is between getting the more traditional conventional cancer treatment and receiving the more effective alternative cancer treatment.

When most people find out they have cancer, they don’t usually sit and take time contemplating on what their next step is or what their options are for treatment. Well, that’s because most of them like myself, never even knew that there was other alternative cancer treatments even available. Most of us are only familiar with the traditional conventional treatments like surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. We probably all believe that these treatments are our only answer and cure for treating most cancers; as long as it was still in the earlier stages and still treatable. I have actually heard of an alternative medicine for killing cancer where people drink Chinese Herbs as medicine, to kill the cancer cells. I personally never believed this method would work or even be effective. I didn’t even know there were other alternative methods being used that is more effective than the conventional, until now.  Read more... (1862 words, 1 image, estimated 7:27 mins reading time)

Kidney cancer: Kidneys are the most important organs which are useful in removing waste from blood. Kidneys are located in the either side of the spine. These are part of urinary tract.  Kidneys control the production of red blood cells and blood pressure of the body.

Cancer occurs in the kidney cells, generally cells are the building blocks of tissues which builds organs. These cells divide and multiply when the body requires them. During this process old cells are replaced by new one and old one gets die, this is the life cycle of the cells. If this life process goes wrong then there will be unusual growth in the cells and forms mass tissue which is named as tumor.

Tumors are of two types, they are as follows:

Benign tumor Malignant tumor

Benign tumor: This tumor is not cancerous. They can be treated easily. They don’t spread to other parts of the body.

Malignant tumor: This tumor is cancerous, they causes damage to the adjacent organs by spreading the cancer cells at high rate. The cells in this tumor invade the distant organs and forms new tumors through blood flow or by lymphatic system.

Kidney cancer is named in many ways like Hypernephroma, Renal adenocarcinoma and renal cell cancer. Kidney cancer generally occurs in the inner lining of tiny tubes inside the kidneys. Kidney cancer mostly occurs in the adults who are over 40 years of age.

Head & Neck Cancer: Head and neck cancer occurs due to the spreading of cancer cells in the head and neck area. Generally, the cells grow and divide into multiple cells and they die when they grow old, and new cells take their place. But due to some causes these basic life cycle of the cells gets damage and began to grow rapidly without any controlling limit. These cells form a huge mass of tissue which is called as tumor.

Tumors are of two types they are:
• Benign tumor: These tumors are not life threatening tumors. This cancer can be removed easily by surgery process. They don’t reoccur. These tumors grow in single site. They do not spread and invade other tissues around them. The benign tumor cells doesn’t contain metastatic characteristics( spreading nature to other parts of the body)
• Malignant tumor: These tumors are cancerous tumors. They spread to other parts of the body. These tumors can be removed but sometimes they grow back. Malignant tumors invade nearby tissues and organs. These tumors contain metastatic characters.
When the cancer cells spreads to the other parts will form a new tumor which has the same characteristic features of the primary tumor. For example, if the head and neck cancer cells spread to the lungs, the cancer cells in the lungs are actually belonging to the head and neck cancer cells. Then this cancer disease is called as metastatic head and neck cancer.

Head and cancer affects the following types:  Read more... (1319 words, 1 image, estimated 5:17 mins reading time)

Gynecologic cancer: Gynecologic cancer occurs in the reproductive system of woman. This Gynecologic cancer consists of other cancers like fallopian tube, cervix, ovaries, and uterus, vagina and vulva. The risk factors for this cancer are increasing day by day. The most common type of gynecologic cancer is uterus cancer. Nearly 40 percent of cancer cases are related to uterus disease.

Generally cells plays major role in defining cancer. All the organs and tissues in the body are made up by tiny body cells. These cells have a constant process of dying and replacing new cells. This is the general process carried by them, if there is any malfunction in their life cycle then there is a chance for the occurrence of cancer. Tumor occurs due to the formation of excess cells in the body. There are two types of Tumors one is benign tumor and the other is malignant tumor .Benign tumor is not cancerous but can cause damage to the adjacent organs if it grows continuously at a single site. Malignant tumor is cancerous because it spreads through out the body and damages the entire body organs.

Gynecologic cancer is categorized into:

• fallopian tube
• cervix
• ovaries
• uterus
• vagina
• vulva

Risk factors for gynecologic cancer: As the causes for this reproductive cancer disease is not identified, its risk factors are listed below which increases the chances for having this reproductive cancer.  Read more... (1144 words, 1 image, estimated 4:35 mins reading time)

Eye cancer: Eye cancer occurs when the cells in the eye grow unusually without any controlling limit. These uncontrolled cancer cells grows rapidly and forms a tumor. These tumors can occur in any parts of the eye. Generally tumors are of two types.

•Benign tumor: This tumor is not cancerous. They can be treated easily. They don’t spread to other parts of the body.

•Malignant tumor: This tumor is cancerous, they causes damage to the adjacent organs by spreading the cancer cells at high rate. The cells in this tumor invade the distant organs and forms new tumors through blood flow or by lymphatic system. The new tumor has the same characteristic features of the primary tumor. For example, if the eye cancer spreads to the mouth, the cancer cells in the mouth are actually belonging to the eye cancer cells. Then this disease is called as metastatic eye cancer.

Eye cancer is a combination of several diseases with different types of causes, symptoms and treatments. Basically cells are the basic unit of life they grow and divide into more cells when the body requires them. These cells forms the tissues and then organs, they are the building blocks of the body system. If there is an abnormal growth and division of cells without any controlling limit, then it results in forming tumor (excess tissue) in the body. Intraocular cancer is the name for the cancer in the eye ball.
