Yes
Cancer Is Curable And Can Fight This Dreadful
Diseases:
Cancer
was discovered in the 18th century although
there are some historical references too.
But, the medical profession had largely been
helpless in combating the onslaught of the
disease in the patient. Most of the medicines
then had limited curative ability. It was
only in the late 1800s and early 1920s that
chemotherapy and radiotherapy began to be
incorporated into the treatment regime. Nevertheless,
doctors then as also now prescribe protective,
screening and diagnostic habits as the best
bet against cancer.
What are the reasons for cancer?
If your blood stream “he river of life”
is polluted toxic oxygen and nutrients will
not flow easily as early to the cells and
those cells will mutate and expand in order
to survive
1)
In today’s hectic lives, the most important
culprit is pollution – air and water.
Constant inhalation of vehicle fumes as also
industrial pollution especially in the plastic
manufacture category has been proven to be
highly carcinogenic.
2) Dietary habits. We have shifted away from
traditional food habits to convenience in
the name of modernity inheriting cancer in
the process. High carbohydrates, especially
the refined variety and low intake of fibre
and vitamins increase the risk of colon cancer.
3) Chewing pan, and tobacco is known to heighten
the risk of throat cancer and lung cancer
respectively.
4) In women, breast, ovarian and uterine cancer
are common due to the hormonal changes in
middle age.
5) Stress combined with poor eating habits
are the bane of ill health for millions of
women around the world.
6) Smoking is very harmful and root cause
of cancer
What
are the precaution s and protective habits?
1)The
screening aspect comes through as regular
health check ups especially if one has had
a history of cancer in the family. Get hold
of your life and be more sympathetic to your
body. Watch out for telltale signs like a
festering wound or a constant cough or sudden
loss of weight accompanied by reduced appetite.
Diagnostic approaches involve setting yourself
up with a specialist and going through the
treatment in full.
So,
if you have cancer although you didn’t
ask for it, what should you do? Should you
curse your fate or your genes? Not at all.
Is death the only solution? No, no. We have
innumerable stories of courage where several
people have survived cancer and lived on to
tell their friends and family. Hence, the
will to win and the confidence in your doctor
are the key ingredients for success in the
treatment program. Radiation, Chemotherapy,
and surgery are all answer for the best cure.
With confident one should go ahead with treatment
and success is yours
1)
Stop it before it starts
2) Arrest it in its earliest stage and
3) Keep it away from coming back
Join a peer group of cancer patients which
will help you with information on motivation
and survival techniques. Non-formal treatment
like meditation, humour club, hobby activities
etc. can also be adopted with medical advice.
Although
a dreaded disease, cancer is completely curable
if detected early. So, watch out but don’t
despair if you do get it. Life is more beautiful
and precious to be cherished everyday.
