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 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.
