REASONS for being VEGETERIAN

Vegetarianism is the fastest growing trend in the developed world. Here are 21 reasons why you should think about turning green too.

Avoiding meat is one of the best and simplest ways to cut down your fat consumption. Modern farm animals are deliberately fattened up to increase profits. Eating fatty meat increases your chances of having a heart attack or developing cancer.

Every minute of every working day, thousands of animals are killed in slaughter-houses. Pain and misery are common. In the US alone, 500,000 animals are killed for meat every hour.

There are millions of cases of food poisoning recorded every year. The vast majority are caused by eating meat.

Meat contains absolutely nothing – no proteins, vitamins or minerals – that the human body cannot obtain perfectly happily from a vegetarian diet. Read more…

Chemotherapy – is This the Real Answer to Cancer?

Before the start of treatment, it is important to know what is the treatment. In this sense I have entered in the main form of treatment for cancer treatment introduced: Chemotherapy – Chemotherapy was developed after scientists discovered that the deadly mustard gas during World War II, to kill people – Cyclophosphamide kill – could rapidly dividing cells, such as cancer. Chemotherapy, all rapidly dividing cells (T and B cells would be our responsibility to be well aligned, as they rapidly divide kill for our immune system). Let’s see what the leading scientists say about this drug: * Late Dr. Hardin Jones, professor at the University of California at Berkeley, completed in 1975, following the analysis of cancer survival statistics for several decades that the patients as good or better, “are left untreated. * Dr. Charles Moertel said the Mayo Clinic in Baltimore, the major chemotherapeutic drug 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) only produces an objective response in 15-20% of patients. Even at that time improvements have been only partially and temporarily. This is very poor balance caused by the drug toxicity and interference from the devastating emotional effects. * A German epidemiologist, Dr. Ulrich Abel has studied most of the published reports of chemotherapy and wrote to a cancer center and 350 experts and others said that “the success of most chemotherapies is appalling. There is no proof of his ability , significantly extend the life of cancer patients, the most common organic. He also said that “when a tumor, partially or temporarily disappears, the remaining tumor cells sometimes grow much faster afterwards. Often patients do not respond to chemotherapy survived longer than those that do. “ Dr. Abel has also published data on the survival of cancer patients receiving chemotherapy, as follows: * Bubble – No statistics available * From the heart – no evidence of an increase in life expectancy * Cervix / uterus – no evidence of an increase in life expectancy * Colorectal – No increase in life expectancy * Stomach cancer – No evidence of improved * Head and Neck – No improvement in life expectancy (to reduce tumors) * The ovary – No evidence of an increase in life expectancy * Pancreas – negative than patients who were not treated, is used depending on the specific chemotherapy drug, side effects: nausea, vomiting, hair loss, possible damage to nerves and kidneys, hearing loss, seizures, bone marrow depression, anemia, blindness, irreversible losses in motor function, thrombosis, inflammation of the mucous membranes, heart problems, destruction of the bile ducts , the death of bone tissue, the limited growth, infertility, lower white and red blood cells, elevated leukemia risk (particularly for women, chemotherapy and radiotherapy for breast cancer were given), ovarian failure, premature menopause, lactose malabsorption, etc. .. Chemotherapy patients often destroys the liver and kidneys, with their side effects and negative attacks the immune system. Mechlorethamine, one of the drugs used is so toxic that medical treatment is recommended to use gloves and not inhaling. A reference for the medical treatment recommended by chemotherapy: The potential risks associated in dealing with cytotoxic drugs have a concern for the health sector. The literature reports various symptoms such as eye, membrane and skin irritation, dizziness, nausea and headache experienced by health care workers with no safety precautions. In addition, increased concerns about the mutation [Teratology deformed babies] continue to be analyzed. Many chemotherapy agents, alkylating agents, in particular are known to cause cancer cancer [resulting] in therapeutic doses. Medical personnel dealing with these drugs is recommended, Double Wear latex gloves, mask, goggles and gloves. Surprisingly, the used needles, injecting the lethal drug is classified as “hazardous waste”! Incredibly, when we are told that this drug can cure our cancer. The Medical Journal (Lancet 1998) states that irinotecan, a new chemotherapy drug only prolongs survival by about three months, but with many side effects. Chemotherapy is not necessary to help with metastases in the liver (Arch Med Res, 1998). It has been shown, however, to increase the life span of patients with ovarian cancer a few years and that patients with lung cancer a few months. Treatment of Hodgkin’s disease with chemotherapy has also shown positive results. However, the girls were treated in this way, also 35% chance of developing breast cancer later in life. All children are treated in this way, 18-times more likely to develop secondary tumors. The chemotherapy (1) carcinogenic (2) immunosuppression (3) Toxic (4) resulted in vain, why is it that doctors prescribe to keep? The answer is very simple: they do not know what else to do and want, in line with what to do to keep doctors. While most people know that chemotherapy alone has little chance of success, they feel that, if it something to prescribe, the patient will go elsewhere, and in most cases (medicine) prescribed chemotherapy. We must understand that this is their training. In a survey of 79 cancer physicians from McGill University in the United States carried out, with its 58 doctors, they were not part of the drug trials of chemotherapy. Why? Because of the ineffectiveness of chemotherapy and its toxicity.

Chemotherapy is Big Money – For Doctor and Patient

Chemotherapy, in its broadest sense refers to the treatment of disease by chemicals that kill cells, particularly of micro-organisms or cancer. Chemotherapy works by killing cancer cells, but unfortunately he can not tell the difference between a cancer cell and some healthy cells. Chemotherapy may be given in many ways. is used, it can be administered in a vein, injected into a body cavity or oral form of a pill, depending on the drug. Chemotherapy is sometimes also with other medicines to treat cancer, such as radiation, surgery, or biological therapy (using the use of substances that stimulate the immune system of the body, while in the fight against cancer). The chemotherapy of mustard gas that was used as a chemical weapon during the first World War formed. Chemotherapy treatment for cancer began in the 1940s with the use of nitrogen mustard. When cancer treatment includes chemotherapy, patients have many questions on. More than half of all cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. Chemotherapy works by destroying cancer cells, but unfortunately he can not tell the difference between a cancer cell and some healthy cells. And accounts for not only the cancer cells to chemotherapy grow rapidly, but also other fast growing cells in your bodies, including hair and blood cells. One of the most devastating things about chemo, as it weakens the immune system. The immune system is one way the body’s defense against disease. Since chemotherapy has a negative effect on the immune system may contract chemo patients of other diseases that can not be linked to cancer, such as pneumonia, intestinal disorders, allergies and diseases of the immune system creating many. Its course of treatment depends on the type of cancer, chemotherapy drugs used, the treatment goal and how your body reacts. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy are often given after surgery for many types of cancer including colon cancer, lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer and gynecological cancers. Over time, cancer cells become resistant to chemotherapy. The patients are better prepared tend to have fewer side effects and greater emotional capacity to have the chemotherapy control. Patients receiving chemotherapy are more susceptible to infections. Under certain circumstances, your doctor may decide that your body is too weak to receive chemotherapy. You can pause between treatments, so you have to build your body a chance to get healthy new cells. Side effects of chemotherapy occur because cancer cells are not the only rapidly dividing cells in your body. Radiation therapy directs high-energy X-rays at a person’s body to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Radiation therapy also attacks quickly growing cells in your body, but unlike chemotherapy, it affects only the specific area where concentrated treatment. Biological therapy, also called immunotherapy, which involves treatment with substances that stimulate the body’s immune system against cancer. Chemotherapy, during childhood can also place some children at risk of delayed growth and cognitive development, depending on the child’s age, type of drug, dosage, and whether chemotherapy was used addition to radiotherapy. People, radiotherapy, receiving chemotherapy before may notice that the skin may be red involved, platelets and peel once chemo begins. If a cancer was removed by surgery or radiation, chemotherapy for cancer can be used to hold back (adjuvant). Given after surgery or radiotherapy, is the goal of adjuvant therapy to all cancer cells, which can in your body after treatment to stop before removing. The combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy can damage the risk of heart. Chemotherapy is usually for about 6-12 months or up to a given patient reached a plateau response or stable disease, particularly if the treatment is well tolerated. Chemotherapy can be frightening to think. It can be short term (acute), long-term (chronic) and permanent side effects, some of which have serious. Chemotherapy can have many unpleasant side effects such as nausea, vomiting, hair loss, mouth sores, anemia (low red blood cell count can, fatigue, dizziness and shortness of breath), leukopenia (reduction in number of white blood cells can lower resistance to infection), thrombocytopenia (decreased number of platelets can cause easy bleeding or bruising), gastrointestinal symptoms, and even heart disease. There have been other options that successful chemotherapy treatment for cancer, but perhaps more importantly, there are steps we take to prevent cancer and avoid the terrible effects of chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
