Lung Cancer

Lung Cancer Lung Cancer

Background

Cancer is a disease that causes the most serious problems in the world. Chemotherapy's side effects on the patient, both physically and psychologically, is rather harsh. The patient's immune system is weak and therefore, their body doesn't have the ability to heal itself. Here at Advanced Healthcare, our lung cancer treatments involve a multimodal approach which is designed specifically to each patient's needs.

No two lung cancers are the same. Every patient needs a special individualized approach. For the lung treatment to be effective, there may need to be a mixture of treatments used which centers around the multimodal approach we use here at our center.

Herbal Treatment used for Lung Cancer

Herbal medicine entails using plants or plant extracts to formulate a plan of treatment that will alleviate the ailment of the patient. Chinese herbs have long been used for centuries and the goal of using herbal treatments is to allow the body to regain its natural power to health itself and prevent illness.

Many pharmaceutical medications contain different amounts of plant extracts. However, herbal medicines work differently since a particular mixture of plants may be needed. Each ingredient can be helpful, but a synergistic blend is more effective to achieve the desired results of wellness.

Here at Advanced Healthcare , we gather information on your family history and genetics, health history in addition to lifestyle choices to assess which form of lung cancer treatment would be the right fit for you. After, we choose the proper mix of herbs that will help to get you started on your journey to better wellbeing.

The side effects of herbal treatment are very minimal and compared to pharmaceutical drugs and chemotherapy, they are considered to be much easier with regards to interaction within different body systems. Again, it's important to note that each treatment plan is individualized to the needs of the patient.

Different Components Of Alternative Lung Cancer Treatment

Other alternative lung cancer treatments often entail physical exercises recommended by the doctor, and acupuncture. Physical exercise helps to reduce stress and anxiety which is incredibly good for lung cancer patients. If a patient is stressed, the healing process is stagnated by the body's natural healing mechanisms. The doctor will discuss the recommended exercise routine depending on the stage of lung cancer the patient is at.

Background

As one of the more common types, prostate cancer is one of the most publicly discussed types of cancer today. Statistics show that 1 out of 9 males in the United States are diagnosed with prostate cancer sometime during their lifespan. We utilize a wide range of alternative prostate cancer treatments that work in combination with nautropathic methods.

Alternative Treatment For Prostate Cancer

The first change you should take is related to your lifestyle choices. A proper diet, along with a good exercise regimen is important to give your body a boost to fight the disease. If you have cancer, it is not advisable to lose a lot of weight as this can weaken the immune system and cause the cancer to grow even more. Avoiding household products containing BPA and other chemicals is advised since it has been shown to increase the risk of developing prostate cancer and is found in many things we use everyday. Yoga, meditation, and any other stress relieving activity that is not harmful to the body is strongly recommended. Meditation is also useful as it causes a person to shift their awareness away from the problem and towards a solution instead.

Alternative Approach To Healing

The alternative approach to healing is becoming popular lately. A more natural method of prostate cancer treatment is effective when used in conjunction with other treatments. Working in combination with complimentary cancer treatments, it increases the effectiveness of treatment. Although it is not recommended to treat the disease by itself, the homeopathic approach has been effective in reducing the growth of tumors and limiting the spread of disease within the body.

Natural Treatment For Prostate Cancer

Just like any other disease, prostate cancer has plenty of natural enemies which limit its growth. These include cayenne peppers or chili peppers as it contains capsaicin, a powerful compound that stops the growth. Additionally, cruciferous vegetables such as kale, broccoli, brussel sprouts, and so forth contain the phytochemical DIM.This inhibits an enzyme that is responsible for multiplying the growth of cancer cells. Ginger, pomegranate, resveratrol (found in red grapes and wine), curcumin, green tea, and shiitake mushrooms contain anti-cancer properties.

Aside from eating right, it is important to incorporate other natural therapies which may include aromatherapy, music therapy, laughing yoga and any other activity that will contribute to your mental and spiritual balance to help you have a good mindset.

Esophageal Cancer

Esophageal Cancer Esophageal Cancer

Background

Esophageal cancer is very challenging to detect and usually is present among persons over 60 years. The two main forms of esophageal cancer include squamous-cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. This cancer is often found in countries with a higher infrastructure and the beginning symptoms of it can seem like other conditions that are usually treated. Once the cancer cells multiply and have grown significantly, the person begins to experience more symptoms which will need to be treated as soon as possible.

Early Signs And Prevention

Having trouble swallowing is one of the first signs of this type of cancer. At this point, the cancer has grown so much that it is challenging for people to eat foods. Some other symptoms may include having a hoarse voice, enlarged lymph nodes, coughing and/or vomiting blood, unaccountable weight loss and so forth.

Since the two forms of cancer differ, the triggers of what caused it share similarities. The overuse of tobacco and alcohol, drinking hot beverages and poor diet are all contributing factors of esophageal cancer.

Quitting smoking helps tremendously to prevent the development of esophageal cancer. Additionally, maintaining a good weight along with a proper diet high in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale, bok choy, and so forth can reduce the risk. Eating foods high in fiber is also another preventative measure which persons should take as it has the potential to prevent this type of cancer.

Alternative Treatment For Esophageal Cancer

Conventional methods of treatment harms the patient's cells that are not cancerous and thus weakens their immune system. Over time, the patient can become physically weaker.

It is recommended that the patient keep both their immune system and body in good shape with proper nutrition which may include the use of teas, especially ginger tea. Ginger helps to combat the damage to the cells from chemotherapy. Additionally, herbs such as passionflower can be used to promote more calm in a patient's life and reduce anxiety.

Sarcoma

Sarcoma

Background & Early Detection

Sarcoma is a type of cancer that is derived from mesenchymal cells which mutated. It is rather difficult to detect sarcoma in its beginning stages. There are usually no signs and the patient may appear to be just fine. It is usually categorized by having pain or numbness and can even show up on an x-ray procedure.

Sarcoma: Prevention During Its Development

Sarcoma is a type of cancer which doesn't discriminate and can affect people of all ages. However, children have a higher risk of developing bone sarcomas. Because it is more prevalent in children, it becomes increasingly difficult to say what exactly triggers it. If we can't understand what triggers it, then it becomes challenging to identify ways to avoid it.

It is theorized that sarcoma can stem from genetics or heredity but some have come to believe of late that it could in fact be triggered by the toxins from our environment or foods that we consume. Consuming foods that are genetically modified or high in sugar create a type of bodily environment for sarcoma to thrive in. Additionally, additives, monosodium glutamate, and aspartame are also in the same category of things that can create a friendly environment for this type of cancer to multiply in. The best recommended course of action is to choose organic foods as much as possible to eliminate preservatives and other chemicals. It may be more costly but think of the long term benefits which include saving on the costs of conventional treatment methods that are harsh on the body.

Some household items including cosmetics, dish and laundry detergents, and plastics can contain carcinogens which play a role in developing cancer and so therefore, it is imperative to be mindful of these and keep them out of the household.

Alternative Treatment For Sarcoma

Having a diet that strictly incorporates organic plant-based foods and avoids added sugars is the first step to fighting sarcoma. Some people may prefer to do juicing as liquids are easier on their digestive system. There are several who resort to different kinds of enemas to detoxify the body which contributes to fighting cancer and increasing the overall wellness of the patient.

This disease is rare than some of the other cancers. However, it affects about 24,000 Americans every year. Common symptoms include pain, muscle weakness, difficulty walking, and sometimes, paralysis. Diagnosing this type of cancer is an intricate process and requires angiography procedures and/or nuclear bone scans. Sometimes, a lumbar puncture may be needed depending on the specific patient's case.

Risk Factors

Some risk factors include exposure to high levels of electromagnetic radiation, especially if this occurred during childhood, having a prior history of cancer, hereditary disorders such as Von Hippel-Lindau disease and Neurofibromatosis (NF2), and so forth. Patients having a compromised immune system are also susceptible to spinal cancer.

Prevention

Preventing spinal cancer is somewhat challenging as it may be a result of random gene mutations which cannot always be predicted. However, it is advised to avoid radiation therapies unless it is the only method of treatment that is absolutely necessary to sustain life.

Alternative Spinal Cancer Treatment

Here at Advanced Healthcare, we use acupuncture to treat the pain. By regulating the flow of energy, certain neurochemicals are released, thus stimulating the healing process of the body.

Melanoma

Melanoma Melanoma

Background

This type of cancer can occur in the intestines, eyes, and even mouth. It is fairly easy to recognize and it is recommended that the disease be treated in its early stages as opposed to waiting for it to worsen.

Symptoms Of Melanoma

Symptoms of melanoma include mole formations that may alter in size. Sometimes, the patterns and colors may not be regular along with a deep itching sensation. If a person notices a mole changing in color, appearance, and size over time, it is highly recommended to folow-up with a doctor and inquire what is going on.

Melanoma: The Causes

The most frequent cause of melanoma is being exposed to UV rays emitted by the sun, heating lamps and tanning beds at salons. These UV rays can cause mutations in the DNA of human cells. When cell production genes become affected, this negatively influences the cell environment and becomes a breeding ground for cancer. Some people with fair skin or those who have a family history with melanoma are more prone to developing this form of cancer. With that said, the two main factors that cause melanoma include exposure to UV rays along with a person's genetics.

Prevention

To begin with, decreasing exposure to Ultraviolet Radiation is imperative in preventing melanoma. This would entail a person refraining from going to tanning salons and avoid spending prolong amounts of time in the sun. Wearing protective clothing such as hats and applying sun tan lotion can minimize the chances of developing melanoma. Additionally, taking proper care of the immune system is recommended by exercising regularly, eating a balanced diet, and minimizing the intake of processed foods. One can enhance their diet with foods high in antioxidants including garlic, citrus fruits, cabbage, green tea, kale, and so on.

Alternative Treatment For Melanoma
