Ketika Kanker Menyapaku

Berperang melawan kanker

We can do a lot, right now, to significantly decrease your cancer risk. Even the conservative American Cancer Society states that one-third of cancer deaths are linked to poor diet, physical inactivity, and carrying excess weight. So making the following healthy lifestyle changes can go a very long way toward ending the failure-streak and becoming one less statistic in this war against cancer:

Normalize your vitamin D levels with safe amounts of sun exposure. This works primarily by optimizing your vitamin D level. Ideally, monitor your vitamin D levels throughout the year.
Control your insulin levels by limiting your intake of processed foods and sugars/fructose as much as possible.
Get appropriate amounts of animal-based omega-3 fats.
Get appropriate exercise. One of the primary reasons exercise works is that it drives your insulin levels down. Controlling insulin levels is one of the most powerful ways to reduce your cancer risks.
Eat according to your nutritional type. The potent anti-cancer effects of this principle are very much underappreciated. When we treat cancer patients in our clinic this is one of the most powerful anti-cancer strategies we have.
Have a tool to permanently erase the neurological short-circuiting that can activate cancer genes. Even the CDC states that 85 percent of disease is caused by emotions. It is likely that this factor may be more important than all the other physical ones listed here, so make sure this is addressed. My particular favorite tool for this purpose, as you may know, is the Emotional Freedom Technique.
Only 25 percent of people eat enough vegetables, so by all means eat as many vegetables as you are comfortable with. Ideally, they should be fresh and organic. Cruciferous vegetables in particular have been identified as having potent anti-cancer properties. Remember that carb nutritional types may need up to 300 percent more vegetables than protein nutritional types.
Maintain an ideal body weight.
Get enough high-quality sleep.
Reduce your exposure to environmental toxins like pesticides, household chemical cleaners, synthetic air fresheners and air pollution.
Reduce your use of cell phones and other wireless technologies, and implement as many safety strategies as possible if/when you cannot avoid their use.
Boil, poach or steam your foods, rather than frying or charbroiling them

RAHASIA BEBAS DARI KANKER SELAMANYA

2010-08-13T08:01:00.000-07:00

Memulihkan fungsi empat organ tubuh utama dan melepaskan tekanan batin

Bagi pasien kanker, asal fungsi empat organ tubuh, berupa limpa, hati, usus besar dan ginjal sehat kembali, sudah boleh mengucapkan selamat berpisah dengan penyakit kanker, kencing manis, penyakit jantung dan darah tinggi.

Ketika pagi tadi saya memeriksa kembali para pasien kanker, banyak dari pasien kanker itu yang tadinya menderita tekanan darah tinggi, sekarang tekanan darahnya sudah normal, tadinya menderita penyumbatan pembuluh darah, sekarang tidak perlu lagi mengkonsumsi obat. Jelas, asal beberapa organ tubuh utama ini dapat dipulihkan secara perlahan- lahan, berbagai jenis penyakit peradaban baru dapat dihilangkan, namun itu bukan faktor utama satu-satunya. Kalau kanker hanya merupakan tumor, tentu lebih mudah ditangani.

Dahulu kita pernah berbuat suatu kesalahan besar dalam bidang medis, asal melihat sebuah tumor, lalu berusaha untuk membunuhnya melalui operasi, kemoterafi atau radiasi, pokoknya jalan terbaik adalah dibunuh dengan segala cara,kemudian dosis obat semakin tinggi semakin baik. Ketika sel kanker mati, orangnya juga mati.

Itu adalah kesalahan terbesar dalam ilmu kedokteran, sebab masalah bukan berdiri sendiri, harus dipertimbangkan secara menyeluruh. Maka dari itu, organ limpa harus dipulihkan terlebih dahulu, kita mesti memelihara suatu kebiasaan makan, dengan kandungan jenis biji-bijian, baik kasar mau pun halus, harus paling sedikit mencapai 50% dalam bahan makanan sehari-hari. Biji-bijian ini adalah kacang merah, kacang kuning, kacang hijau, jali, dan lainnya, semua ini adalah jenis biji-bijian, biji teratai juga sangat baik, dengan konsep demikian, fungsi limpa dan hati akan membaik. Limpa berguna untuk produksi darah, setiap hari ada dua masa penting, yaitu jam 23.00 – 01.00 dan 11.00 – 13.00. Maka ketika waktu istirahat memang sudah tiba, harus beristirahat. Orang sekarang kebanyakan memiliki masalah organ hati, kenapa demikian?

Tiga perusak organ hati:
· tidur larut malam,
· makan makanan berminyak
· dan suka marah.

Minyak dapat membungkus organ hati, ketika anda menyantap makanan berminyak, lapisan minyak akan membungkus organ hati, membuat organ hati tidak berfungsi, maka jangan mengkonsumsi terlalu banyak makanan berminyak.

Bila semakin banyak tidur semakin lelah : peringatan akan masalah hati Ketika tidur, limpa mengumpulkan cairan darah dan dikirimkan ke hati untuk dibuang kandungan racunnya,darah bersih kemudian dikirimkan ke jantung, jantung memompakan darah ke seluruh tubuh, apakah tujuannya? Agar setiap tempat yang tercapai oleh darah mendapatkan gizi, sehingga tubuh terjaga tetap sehat. Sayang sekali, banyak orang sekarang telah memiliki masalah limpa, di mana limpa tidak mampu lagi mengumpulkan darah.

Hanya ada satu cara untuk menjaga kesehatan organ limpa, dengan mengkonsumsi jenis biji-bijian, lalu kenapa organ limpa orang sekarang sedemikian buruknya dan tubuh banyak penyakit? Karena tidak mengkonsumsi jenis biji-bijian, lebih suka makan hamburger, steak, kentang goreng, hanya makan sedikit nasi, itu pun jenis beras putih, kita semestinya mengkonsumsi jenis biji-bijian yang belum diolah, misalnya beras kasar.

Namun saya ingatkan semua orang, Indonesia adalah negara tropis, maka jenis biji-bijian asal daerah beriklim dingin atau panas tidak cocok untuk dikonsumsi oleh penduduk daerah tropis, seperti gandum, soba, barley dan sorghum, semua ini merupakan produk pertanian daerah beriklim dingin, tentu ada tubuh sebagian kecil orang yang memang tahan, namun tidak cocok untuk dikonsumsi oleh sebagian besar orang, bukan bahan makanan ini tidak baik.

Apakah bahan makanan paling cocok untuk penduduk daerah tropis seperti kita ini? Yaitu beras kasar dan ubi rambat, kedua jenis
makanan ini cocok untuk penduduk seluruh dunia, selain itu juga ada jali dan sekoi yang lebih cocok untuk penduduk daerah tropis.
Dengan memelihara kebiasaan makan jenis biji-bijian, fungsi organ limpa akan pulih.

Memulihkan fungsi pembuangan kotoran dari usus besar

Kalau anda sering merasa lelah, hati anda bermasalah, maka anda harus lebih cepat beristirahat. Setiap pagi, anda sulit sekali buang air besar, anda bagai sedang berperang dengan kakus saja, itu tentu sangat menyedihkan sekali.

Gejala apa ini? Itu disebabkan daya serap tubuh anda terhadap makanan berserat sudah lemah, mengapa penderita kanker usus besar di Amerika sangat banyak, penderita kanker usus besar di daerah pantai Tiongkok juga banyak, penderita kanker usus besar di Singapura juga menempati urutan dua dari semua penderita kanker, sedangkan hasil riset terhadap penduduk daerah pedalaman Tiongkok menunjukkan tiada penderita kanker usus, sebab mereka setiap hari buang air besar dengan lancar, begitu jongkok langsung keluar, tinjanya bagai pisang saja, sangat cantik! Bahkan berjejer dengan rapi. Bukan begitu saja, saya jelaskan, tinja orang sehat, diameternya sekitar 2 – 3 cm, berbentuk batangan sepanjang 30 – 45 cm, kalau diletakkan di atas tanah, bisa berguling, bahkan berasap, bahkan ada wangi vanilla.

Pernah suatu hari, Billy menelepon saya dengan gembira, “Pak dosen, apa yang anda katakan memang benar, sebelumnya saya tidak yakin, sekarang saya ingin minta maaf pada anda.” Saya bertanya: “Apa yang anda tidak yakin?” “Anda katakan tinja orang sehat wangi vanilla, mana mungkin? Namun sekarang tinja saya sudah wangi vanilla.” Kenapa? Karena racun dalam usus sudah terbuang, apakah anda tidak merasa tahi lembu ada wangi vanilla? Namun kotoran lembu sekarang sangat bau, sebab makanan lembu sekarang kacau balau, apalagi lembu disuntik antibiotik.

Kalau anda sulit buang air besar, apa artinya ini?
Segala penyakit berawal dari gejala usus besar sulit buang air besar.

Ketika usus besar anda sangat sehat, anda bukan bangun sendiri di pagi hari, namun dibangunkan oleh geliat usus besar. Kenapa?

Karena antara jam 05.00 – 07.00 pagi, usus besar paling aktif bekerja, itu sebabnya kita meminta pasien kanker harus pergi tidur pada jam 21.00 malam, demikian juga dengan pasien kencing manis. Orang pada umumnya harus tidur sebelum jam 23.00 malam, sebab pagi harinya jam 06.00 – 07.00 usus besar akan menggeliat untuk membangunkan anda, meminta anda untuk jongkok di kakus.

Setiap hari berapa kali makan, juga berapa kali buang air besar, kalau begitu berapa kali seharusnya buang air? Ingat!
Kalau 4 – 5 hari buang air sekali, itu artinya menderita penyakit susah buang besar parah, 2 – 3 hari buang air sekali termasuk penyakit susah buang besar tingkat menengah, sedangkan satu hari hanya sekali buang air besar termasuk penyakit susah buang besar tingkat ringan.

Bagaimana bisa disebut paling sehat dan normal? Berapa kali anda makan, sebegitu banyak kali pula anda buang air besar, itulah yang disebut sehat, lagipula setiap kali jongkok, dalam 2 – 3 menit langsung beres.

Lihatlah tinja anda, berjejer dengan rapi, kalau pantat anda dibersihkan dengan kertas tissue, tidak akan ada tinja yang lengket, bersih sekali. Saya melihat ada sebagian orang sangat kasihan sekali, sepuluh lembar kertas tissue juga tidak sanggup membersihkan sisa kotoran di pantat, orang demikian biasanya tidak memakai kertas tissue, langsung siram saja dengan air.

Sebab tubuhnya sangat kekurangan selulosa. Kalau makanan yang masuk ke dalam badan tidak dikeluarkan dalam jangka waktu 12 jam, akan berubah menjadi zat beracun. Racun yang tidak dibuang keluar ini akan diserap oleh dinding usus besar, racun yang terserap ini akan dikembalikan oleh pembuluh balik gerbang ke hati, itu sungguh celaka! Berakibat kerusakan hati yang bermasalah besar. Maka, masalah hati berhubungan dengan usus besar, asal usus besar lancar, hati akan pulih dengan sendirinya, sistim kekebalan tubuh juga pulih, darah yang dikirimkan ke jantung juga bersih, tubuh akan sulit terserang penyakit.

Ginjal adalah organ penting untuk metabolisma, pembuangan rekreasi dan racun, cairan darah dalam tubuh melewati ginjal sebanyak 20 kali perjam, kotoran metabolisma dari darah disaring oleh ginjal menjadi urin untuk dikeluarkan dari tubuh. Kalau fungsi ginjal bermasalah, pinggang akan terasa linu-linu, sakit gembur-gembur, dalam cairan darah ada racun urin, tekanan darah tinggi, infeksi saluran kencing, lelah, sulit tidur, telinga berbunyi, rambut rontok, pandangan mata kabur, refleks tubuh berkurang, suka muram, sering merasa cemas, bahkan berpikiran bukan-bukan.

Segala jenis zat beracun yang ditimbulkan oleh minuman, makan dan udara yang masuk ke dalam tubuh, mau pun akibat tekanan batin, semuanya melewati ginjal. Kalau sampah ini terlalu banyak, beban kerja ginjal terlalu berat, dalam jangka pendek akan timbul penyumbatan atau infeksi, dalam jangka panjang akan timbul gejala batu ginjal, fungsi ginjal menurun dan darah tidak bersih, paling parah harus menjalani proses cuci darah buatan, kalau tidak bisa membahayakan jiwa.

Bagi ginjal “pencegahan lebih baik daripada pengobatan”. Tindakan terbaik adalah menjaga kesehatan dan menghindari tindakan merusak ginjal.

Sebab utama kerusakan ginjal adalah:
1. Mengkonsumsi terlalu banyak makanan mengandung protein tinggi dari binatang, akibatnya timbul asam kencing berlebihan, beban kerja ginjal terlalu berat.
2. Kerja terlalu lelah, tekanan terlalu berat, tidak cukup istirahat.
3. Terlalu banyak konsumsi obat-obatan barat, seperti obat pereda sakit dan antibiotik.
4. Lingkungan tercemar: air, tanah, udara dan suara ribut.
5. Terlalu banyak minum arak, kopi, minuman bersoda, air dingin.
6. Cuaca dingin dan basah.
7. Kurang minum air.

Kalau ingin menjaga kesehatan ginjal, harus kurang bahaya di atas, lebih banyak minum air dan jus buah-buahan, seperti strawberry, cranberry, blueberry, raspberry, semangka dan lemon. Makan makanan berprotein dari tanaman, olah raga teratur, minum minuman alamiah yang ringan, istirahat secukupnya, menjaga kondisi hati gembira, cegah bagian pinggang jangan terkena udara dingin, sering-sering menggosok bagian pinggang dengan tepalak tangan, agar ginjal lebih terjaga.

Menjaga kondisi ginjal dengan lemon

Lemon baik untuk ginjal, juga hati.
1. Menjaga kesehatan ginjal dengan jus lemon hangat:
Setiap bangun tidur, buat jus dari sebutir lemon, tambahkan air hangat 200 cc (boleh tambahkan garam laut sedikit agar terasa lebih enak diminum), minum pelan-pelan dalam kondisi perut kosong, itu bisa membersihkan ginjal, juga memperlancar buang air.

2. Jus lemon untuk membuang batu ginjal
Peras jus dari 12 butir lemon segar (kalau sudah mau diminum baru diperas) , tambahkan air hangat secukupnya (boleh tambahkan garam laut sedikit agar terasa lebih enak diminum), terus minum selama 7 hari (setiap hari 12 butir lemon, makan minum lainnya seperti biasa). Batu ginjal halus akan keluar bersama dengan urin. Ketika keluar akan terasa sakit, kalau batu ginjal sudah besar, sudah berakibat infeksi dan sakit, boleh minum jus cranberry untuk meredakan sakit dan mengobati infeksi.

Enam cara untuk menghilangkan tekanan batin

Banyak orang pernah menderita tekanan batin akibat beban hidup, beban kerja atau beban hubungan sesama, kalau tekanan batin bisa dikelola dengan baik, akan menjadi sejenis daya dorong yang menimbulkan motivasi hidup.

Akan tetapi, kalau tekanan batin tetap ada, tidak dapat diuraikan, bahkan semakin bertambah, ini akan mendatangkan masalah besar pada kelenjar ginjal dan hormon, membangkitkan penyakit dalam sistim kekebalan tubuh, berakibat masalah sangat parah.

Sebagian besar penderita depresi disebabkan oleh tekanan batin sangat besar yang datang secara tiba-tiba, tanpa sanggup menguraikannya.
Tekanan batin datang ketika bertemu kesulitan besar, maka kita harus belajar menangani kesulitan.
Kanker berhubungan paling erat dengan tekanan batin, umumnya enam bulan sebelum terserang kanker, penderitanya dilanda masalah dengan tekanan batin berat. Ketika ada tekanan batin, anda harus belajar rileks. Hembusan nafas bisa berpengaruh pada frekuensi gelombang otak, frekuensi gelombang otak bisa berpengaruh pada kecepatan detak jantung, kecepatan detak jantung bisa berpengaruh pada kecepatan ketat-lemasnya otot. Dengan kata lain, ketika anda merubah cara bernafas, kondisi otot dan perasaan akan membaik, cara ini juga dipergunakan untuk terapi pasien makan langsung muntah.

1. Menggosok kedua telapak tangan.
Ketika mata anda lelah, cara ini paling efektif, dapat membantu kelancaran aliran darah, stamina dan semangat akan segera timbul kembali.

2. Berolah raga
Dengan seluruh badan bergoncang, semangat akan kembali dengan segera, paling baik kalau olah raga rutin, sebab olah raga adalah cara terbaik untuk melepaskan tekanan batin. Selain itu, berjalan kaki dengan kaki ayam di atas rerumputan, juga dapat melepaskan tekanan batin, persyaratan mendasar harus menjadikannya sebagai rutinitas dalam kehidupan sehari- hari.

3. Tidur
Namun orang sekarang kebanyakan sulit tidur nyenyak. Menurut statistik dokter Taiwan , di Taiwan ada sebanyak 5 juta warga yang hanya bisa tidur dengan bantuan obat tidur. Tidur itu adalah tekniknya, harus diingat kala tidur jangan meletakkan tangan di depan dada, bisa mendatangkan mimpi buruk. Juga jangan letakkan di bagian pinggang, bisa menyebabkan tekanan pada organ tubuh, paling baik letakkan di kedua samping tubuh, dengan telapak tangan menghadap ke atas. Semakin baik tidur seseorang, tekanan batin semakin cepat hilang. Namun jangan tunggu sampai sangat lelah baru tidur, malah akan lebih sulit untuk tidur, sudah lelah masih susah tidur berarti hati sudah rusak berat karena menderita dua kali, yaitu lelah dan tidak bisa istirahat.

4. Istirahat.
Istirahat berbeda dengan tidur, istirahat adalah meninggalkan pekerjaan semula dan menukarnya dengan sebuah pemandangan. Contohnya saat makan
jangan lakukan di meja kerja semula, usahakan membawa bekal makanan dari rumah atau disediakan perusahaan, jangan makan di luar, hanya menghabsikan waktu, apalagi kebanyakan makan di luar dapat merupakan biang kanker. Usahakan membawa bekal sendiri, makan mengikuti formula buang racun saya ini, setelah makan, sisakan 15 menit untuk mengerjakan hal yang tiada hubungan dengan kerja sama sekali. Sisa waktu pergunakan untuk melakukan senam pernafasan dengan perut, melalui gerak pernafasan buat diri agar rileks.

5. Menjaga makan minum.
Jangan konsumsi makanan bertekanan tinggi, semua makanan yang menyebabkan iritasi merupakan makanan bertekanan tinggi, semakin banyak konsumsi makanan ini akan membuat saraf simpatetik bekerja berlebihan, kadangkala mengganggu semua fungsi tubuh hingga berada dalam kondisi bahaya.
Apa yang disebut makanan bertekanan tinggi? Coca cola, kopi, teh, alkohol, rokok, produk turunan susu dan produk turunan daging, semua jenis daging, terutama yang telah diproses dengan minyak merupakan makanan bertekanan tinggi. Makanan jenis apa yang bisa membuat perasaan gembira? Sayur-sayuran, buah-buahan dan biji-bijian. Minuman paling manjur menurunkan tekanan adalah air. Minum air bisa mengurangi tekanan, minum air yang baik dapat menghilangkan tekanan batin. (WHO menemukan, lebih dari 80% penyakit berhubungan langsung dengan sumber air yang kurang bersih).

6. Berjemur sinar mentari.
Sinar mentari memiliki kemampuan pengobatan. Banyak penderita depresi merupakan orang yang tidak suka mandi sinar mentari, dengan sering berjemur sinar mentari, antibodi akan meningkat.

Korelasi penggunaan Hp dan kanker Otak

2010-06-10T01:26:00.000-07:00

Telah banyak studi dilakukan untuk mengetahui bahayanya pemakaian handphone, yang menghasilkan radiasi elektromagnetik, yang dapat menimbulkan terjadinya tumor atau beberapa jenis kanker otak. Namun penemuan hasil studi ini, tidak dipublikasikan secara luas. Silakan disimak artikel dibawah ini.

Science has shown increased risk of brain tumors from use of cell phones, as well as increased risk of eye cancer, salivary gland tumors, testicular cancer, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and leukemia.

The public must be informed."

The President's Cancer Panel is Also Concerned about Cell Phones

In a 240-page report devoted to how to reduce environmental cancer risks, the President's Cancer Panel clearly notes wireless technology as a formidable force in the fight against environmental cancers.

The report states:

"The use of cell phones and other wireless technology is of great concern, particularly since these devices are being used regularly by ever larger and younger segments of the population..

… the research on cancer and other disease risk among long-term and heavy users of contemporary wireless devices is extremely limited. Similarly, current and potential harms from extremely low frequency radiation are unclear and require further study."

The panel members consulted with close to 50 medical experts in writing this report, and clearly they have recognized that one of the main challenges in proving the link between cell phones and cancer is that they have only recently infiltrated the market.

The panel writes:

"It is not known exactly what percentage of all cancers either are initiated or promoted by an environmental trigger … Some exposures to an environmental hazard occur as a single acute episode, but most often, individual or multiple harmful exposures take place over a period of weeks, months, years, or a lifetime."

And that's exactly what's happening with cell phones and brain cancer.

It's Still Too Soon for Most Cell Phone-Induced Brain Tumors to Show Up

The induction period for brain tumors can be at least 30 years. Cell phones have only been widely used for a decade or so, and usage is only increasing. What this means is that the real effects of regular cell phone usage will not begin to show up for another 10 or more years, but by then it will be too late.

The President's Cancer Panel, realizing this, has urged the usage of the precautionary principle, stating that "when an activity raises threats of harm to human health or the environment, precautionary measures should be taken even if some cause and effect relationships are not fully established scientifically."

In the case of cell phones and wireless technologies, there is more than credible evidence that a hazard exists, and immediate steps should be taken to prevent further exposure. Without them, we will almost certainly be headed for a brain cancer epidemic the likes of which the world has never seen.

Please Protect Yourself, and Your Family, Starting Today

Remember, just like smoking and lung cancer, there are rarely any initial symptoms from using a cell phone, but by the time the symptoms show up, it could be too late. Are you really willing to risk the chance of developing brain cancer just for the convenience of using a cell phone?

We've survived for generations without them before, and we can do it again now. At the very least, you can minimize your exposure and your risk level by:

· Children Should Never Use Cell Phones: Barring a life-threatening emergency, children should not use a cell phone, or a wireless device of any type. Children are far more vulnerable to cell phone radiation than adults, because of their thinner skull bones and other factors.

· Reduce Your Cell Phone Use: Turn your cell phone off more often. Reserve it for emergencies or important matters.

· Use a Land Line at Home and at Work: Although more and more people are switching to using cell phones as their exclusive phone contact, it is a dangerous trend and you can choose to opt out of the madness.

· Reduce or Eliminate Your Use of Other Wireless Devices: You would be wise to cut down your use of these devices. Just as with cell phones, it is important to ask yourself whether or not you really need to use them every single time. Even portable home phones, including the older kind that operate at 900 MHz, can be a problem.

The lesson from the field is that all DECT portable phones are a problem. If you do not know if you have a DECT phone (as many are not labeled as such), the ONLY way to know for sure is to measure. You can learn about measuring instrumentation at www.emfsafetystore.com.

For "hands free" calls at home, I recommend getting the old-fashioned speakerphone (either attached to the phone or separate) or using SKYPE on your computer on speaker mode, which is terrific.

· Use Your Cell Phone Only Where Reception is Good: The weaker the reception, the more power your phone must use to transmit, and the more power it uses, the more radiation it emits, and the deeper the dangerous radio waves penetrate into your body.

Ideally, you should only use your phone with full bars and good reception. Also seek to avoid carrying your phone on your body as that merely maximizes any potential exposure. Ideally put it in your purse or carrying bag.

· Turn Your Cell Phone Off When Not in Use: As long as your cell phone is on, it emits radiation intermittently, even when you are not actually making a call.

· Keep Your Cell Phone Away From Your Body When it is On: The most dangerous place to be, in terms of radiation exposure, is near the emitting antenna. You do not want any part of your body near this area and proximity is everything. The closer the phone is to your body, the worse the exposure -- with the exposure falling off dramatically with distance. Thus, using the speaker mode, the farther you can keep the phone away from your body and still hear the call, the better.

· Use Safer Headset Technology: Wired headsets will certainly allow you to keep the cell phone farther away from your body. However, if a wired headset is not well-shielded -- and most of them are not -- the wire itself acts as an antenna attracting ambient radio waves and transmitting radiation directly to your brain and your body, for example over your heart.

Can You Trust Chemotherapy to Cure Your Cancer?

2008-07-27T00:01:00.000-07:00

(NaturalNews) Former White House press secretary Tony Snow died in July 2008 at the age of 53, following a series of chemotherapy treatments for colon cancer. In 2005, Snow had his colon removed and underwent six months of chemotherapy after being diagnosed with colon cancer. Two years later (2007), Snow underwent surgery to remove a growth in his abdominal area, near the site of the original cancer. "This is a very treatable condition," said Dr. Allyson Ocean, a gastrointestinal oncologist at Weill Cornell Medical College. "Many patients, because of the therapies we have, are able to work and live full lives with quality while they're being treated. Anyone who looks at this as a death sentence is wrong." But of course we now know, Dr. Ocean was dead wrong.

The media headlines proclaimed Snow died from colon cancer, although they knew he didn't have a colon anymore. Apparently, the malignant cancer had "returned" (from where?) and "spread" to the liver and elsewhere in his body. In actual fact, the colon surgery severely restricted his normal eliminative functions, thereby overburdening the liver and tissue fluids with toxic waste. The previous series of chemo-treatments inflamed and irreversibly damaged a large number of cells in his body, and also impaired his immune system -- a perfect recipe for growing new cancers. Now unable to heal the causes of the original cancer (in addition to the newly created ones), Snow's body developed new cancers in the liver and other parts of the body.

The mainstream media, of course, still insist Snow died from colon cancer, thus perpetuating the myth that it is only the cancer that kills people, not the treatment. Nobody seems to raise the important point that it is extremely difficult for a cancer patient to actually heal from this condition while being subjected to the systemic poisons of chemotherapy and deadly radiation. If you are bitten by a poisonous snake and don't get an antidote for it, isn't it likely that your body becomes overwhelmed by the poison and, therefore, cannot function anymore?

Before Tony Snow began his chemo-treatments for his second colon cancer, he still looked healthy and strong. But after a few weeks into his treatment, he started to develop a coarse voice, looked frail, turned gray and lost his hair. Did the cancer do all this to him? Certainly not. Cancer doesn't do such a thing, but chemical poisoning does. He actually looked more ill than someone who has been bitten by a poisonous snake.

Does the mainstream media ever report about the overwhelming scientific evidence that shows chemotherapy has zero benefits in the five-year survival rate of colon cancer patients? Or how many oncologists stand up for their cancer patients and protect them against chemotherapy treatment which they very well know can cause them to die far more quickly than if they received no treatment at all? Can you trustingly place your life into their hands when you know that most of them would not even consider chemotherapy for themselves if they were diagnosed with cancer? What do they know that you don't? The news is spreading fast that in the United States physician-caused fatalities now exceed 750,000 each year. Perhaps, many doctors no longer trust in what they practice, for good reasons.

"Most cancer patients in this country die of chemotherapy... Chemotherapy does not eliminate breast, colon or lung cancers. This fact has been documented for over a decade. Yet doctors still use chemotherapy for these tumors... Women with breast cancer are likely to die faster with chemo than without it." - Alan Levin, M.D.

An investigation by the Department of Radiation Oncology, Northern Sydney Cancer Centre, Australia, into the contribution of chemotherapy to 5-year survival in 22 major adult malignancies, showed startling results: The overall contribution of curative and adjuvant cytotoxic chemotherapy to 5-year survival in adults was estimated to be 2.3% in Australia and 2.1% in the USA." [Royal North Shore Hospital Clin Oncol (R Coll Radiol) 2005 Jun;17(4):294.]

The research covered data from the Cancer Registry in Australia and the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results in the USA for the year 1998. The current 5-year relative adult survival rate for cancer in Australia is over 60%, and no less than that in the USA. By comparison, a mere 2.3% contribution of chemotherapy to cancer survival does not justify the massive expense involved and the tremendous suffering patients experience because of severe, toxic side effects resulting from this treatment. With a meager success rate of 2.3%, selling chemotherapy as a medical treatment (instead of a scam), is one of the greatest fraudulent acts ever committed. The average chemotherapy earns the medical establishment a whopping $300,000 to $1,000,000 each year, and has so far earned those who promote this pseudo-medication (poison) over 1 trillion dollars. It's no surprise that the medical establishment tries to keep this scam alive for as long as possible.

In 1990, the highly respected German epidemiologist, Dr. Ulrich Abel from the Tumor Clinic of the University of Heidelberg, conducted the most comprehensive investigation of every major clinical study on chemotherapy drugs ever done. Abel contacted 350 medical centers and asked them to send him anything they had ever published on chemotherapy. He also reviewed and analyzed thousands of scientific articles published in the most prestigious medical journals. It took Abel several years to collect and evaluate the data. Abel's epidemiological study, which was published on August 10, 1991 in The Lancet, should have alerted every doctor and cancer patient about the risks of one of the most common treatments used for cancer and other diseases. In his paper, Abel came to the conclusion that the overall success rate of chemotherapy was "appalling." According to this report, there was no scientific evidence available in any existing study to show that chemotherapy can "extend in any appreciable way the lives of patients suffering from the most common organic cancers."

Abel points out that chemotherapy rarely improves the quality of life. He describes chemotherapy as "a scientific wasteland" and states that even though there is no scientific evidence that chemotherapy works, neither doctor nor patient is willing to give up on it. The mainstream media has never reported on this hugely important study, which is hardly surprising, given the enormous vested interests of the groups that sponsor the media, that is, the pharmaceutical companies. A recent search turned up exactly zero reviews of Abel's work in American journals, even though it was published in 1990. I believe this is not because his work was unimportant -- but because it is irrefutable.

The truth of the matter would be far too costly for the pharmaceutical industry to bear, thus making it unacceptable. If the mass media reported the truth that medical drugs, including chemotherapy drugs, are used to practically commit genocide in the U.S. and the world, their best sponsors (the pharmaceutical companies) would have to withdraw their misleading advertisements from the television media, radio stations, magazines, and newspapers. But neither group wants to go bankrupt.

Many doctors go as far as prescribing chemotherapy drugs to patients for malignancies that are far too advanced for surgery, with the full knowledge that there are no benefits at all. Yet they claim chemotherapy to be an effective cancer treatment, and their unsuspecting patients believe that "effective" equals "cure." The doctors, of course, refer to the FDA's definition of an "effective" drug, one which achieves a 50% or more reduction in tumor size for 28 days. They neglect to tell their patients that there is no correlation whatsoever between shrinking tumors for 28 days and curing the cancer or extending life. Temporary tumor shrinkage through chemotherapy has never been shown to cure cancer or to extend life. In other words, you can live with an untreated tumor for just as long as you would with one that has been shrunken or been eliminated by chemotherapy (or radiation).

Chemotherapy has never been shown to have curative effects for cancer. By contrast, the body can still cure itself, which it actually tries to do by developing cancer. Cancer is more a healing response than it is a disease. The "disease" is the body's attempt to cure itself of an existing imbalance. And sometimes, this healing response continues even if a person is subjected to chemotherapy (and/or radiation). Unfortunately, as the previously mentioned research has demonstrated, the chances for a real cure are greatly reduced when patients are treated with chemotherapy drugs.

The side effects of the treatment can be horrendous and heartbreaking for both patients and their loved ones, all in the name of trustworthy medical treatment. Although the drug treatment comes with the promise to improve the patient's quality of life, it is just common sense that a drug that makes them throw up and lose their hair, while wrecking their immune system, is doing the exact opposite. Chemo-therapy can give the patient life-threatening mouth sores. It attacks the immune system by destroying billions of immune cells (white blood cells). Its deadly poisons inflame every part of the body. The drugs can slough off the entire lining of their intestines. The most common side effect experienced among chemo patients is their complete lack of energy. The new additional drugs now given to many chemo patients may prevent the patient from noticing some of the side effects, but they hardly reduce the immensely destructive and suppressive effect of the chemotherapy itself. Remember, the reason chemotherapy can shrink some tumors is because it causes massive destruction in the body.

If you have cancer, you may think that feeling tired is just part of the disease. This rarely is the case. Feeling unusually tired is more likely due to anemia, a common side effect of most chemotherapy drugs. Chemo drugs can dramatically decrease your red blood cell levels, and this reduces oxygen availability to the 60-100 trillion cells of your body. You can literally feel the energy being zapped from every cell of your body -- a physical death without dying. Chemo-caused fatigue has a negative impact on day-to-day activities in 89% of all patients. With no energy, there can be no joy and no hope, and all bodily functions become subdued.

One long-term side effect is that these patients' bodies can no longer respond to nutritional or immune-strengthening approaches to cancerous tumors. All of this may explain why cancer patients who do not receive any treatment at all, have an up to four times higher remission rate than those who receive treatment. The sad thing is that chemotherapy does not cure 96% to 98% of all cancers anyway. Conclusive evidence (for the majority of cancers) that chemotherapy has any positive influence on survival or quality of life does not exist.

To promote chemotherapy as a treatment for cancer is misleading, to say the least. By permanently damaging the body's immune system and other important parts, chemo-therapy has become a leading cause of treatment-caused diseases such as heart disease, liver disease, intestinal diseases, diseases of the immune system, infections, brain diseases, pain disorders, and rapid aging.

Before committing themselves to being poisoned, cancer patients need to question their doctors and ask them to produce the research or evidence that shrinking a tumor actually translates to any increase in survival. If they tell you that chemotherapy is your best chance of surviving, you will know they are lying or are simply misinformed. As Abel's research clearly demonstrated, there is no such evidence anywhere to be found in the medical literature. Subjecting patients to chemotherapy robs them of a fair chance of finding or responding to a real cure and deserves criminal prosecution.

Paradigma baru penyembuhan Ca Mammae

2008-04-01T06:54:00.000-07:00

Barusan nemu artikel tentang paradigma baru penyembuhan kanker payudara yang mirip dengan konsep penyembuhan yg sedang sy jalani ini.
Tapi karena belum tersedia cukup waktu utk me'review' secara keseluruhan, jadi sy kutipkan sedikit dulu ya ..

"Cancer, the physical disease, cannot occur unless there is a strong undercurrent of emotional uneasiness and deep-seated frustration. Cancer patients typically suffer from lack of self-respect or worthiness, and often have what I call an “unfinished business” in their life. Cancer can actually be a way of revealing the source of such inner conflict. Furthermore, cancer can help them come to terms with such a conflict, and even heal it altogether. The way to take out weeds is to pull them out along with their roots. This is how we must treat cancer; otherwise, it may recur eventually".

Peperangan melawan penyakit ini, diperlukan persenjataan yang lengkap, meliputi keseluruhan isi blog yg terdiri dari :

* Deteksi dini – diagnosaku ; merupakan awal penemuan tumor hingga operasi dan akhirnya bisa didapatkan diagnosa Carcinoma ductus invasive mammae

* Proses terapi (bestral), di blog ini saya tuliskan kegiatan sehari-hari selama menjalani 30x proses radioterapi di RS. Karyadi, Semarang. Khusus mengenai bestral ini, saya tulis berdasarkan kenyataan bahwa susah sekali menemukan info lengkap di website (terutama yg berbahasa Indonesia). Sesama rekan pasien hampir tidak ada yang menuliskan pengalaman2nya selama proses terapi.

* Pengetahuan yang memadai – dapat didapatkan dengan membaca Buku-buku kanker – agar kita punya wawasan utk menuntun langkah kita memerangi penyakit ini.

* Diet & Olahraga – Selain proses terapi yang utama, diperlukan pengaturan konsumsi makanan sehari-hari, sudah tidak boleh sebebas dulu lagi, banyak pantangan yang harus dihindari.

* Ketenangan hati – Merupakan senjata pelengkap yang sangat penting dalam memerangi penyakit apapun, karena emosi akan mempengaruhi kondisi fisik. Bila kita berfikir positif, pasrah dan ikhlas … insyaAllah … semua halangan dan rintangan akan lebih mudah diatasi.

Oke … selamat jalan-jalan di blog ini … bila berkenan, silakan tambahkan komentar. Bila ada tulisan saya yang keliru … tolong dibenerin ya … Mohon do'anya juga ... terimakasih...

Breast Cancer Screening

2007-11-02T02:53:00.000-07:00

The researchers examined the benefits and negative effects of seven breast cancer screening programs on 500,000 women in the United States, Canada, Scotland and Sweden. The study's authors found that for every 2,000 women who received mammograms over a 10-year period, only one would have her life prolonged, but 10 would endure unnecessary and potentially harmful treatments.

The researchers found that although overall screening lowered breast cancer mortality by roughly 15 percent, it also increased the number of mastectomies by 20 percent and boosted the likelihood of radiation treatment.

However, the UK's National Health Service (NHS) breast screening program -- which provides free mammograms for women over the age of 50 every three years -- cited different statistics in defending its program. An NHS statement said the Department of Health's advisory committee on breast cancer screening had conducted its own evaluation of the program, and found that screening prolonged the lives of five women out of every 2,000 over a 10-year period.

Julietta Patnick, director of the NHS screening programs, said in a statement that screening actually led to a reduced number of mastectomies, and that 1,400 lives were saved every year by the program. Patnick also said that the benefits of mammograms "far outweigh the risks."

However, opponents of breast cancer screening -- which can produce false positives and subject women to harmful, unnecessary treatments -- argue that women are not being informed of the possible negative effects of screening.

Dr. Peter Gotzsche, director of the Nordic Cochrane Centre, said a study by researchers at the center examined letters and leaflets -- including ones from the NHS inviting women to undergo mammograms -- were biased toward possible benefits, and made no mention of the dangers of the procedure.

Gotzsche said Patnick's statement about screening reducing the number of mastectomies was "misleading," and said he was "amazed" at how emotional people were when informed of the possible negative effects of breast cancer screening.

"Some people get offended if you start questioning the balance between benefits and harms," he said. "They just don't want it discussed. This is an awkward position. It is wrong to not inform women about the harms."

Longtime mammogram critic Professor Michael Baum said politics were to blame for breast cancer screening not being held to the same scrutiny as breast cancer drugs. Baum also said the breast cancer treatment industry would "lose a hell of a lot of face if [the government] began questioning the value of screening."

Consumer advocate Mike Adams called breast cancer screening "a recruiting tool to ensnare new revenue-generating patients," and criticized the "fear-based" marketing used to attract women to screenings.

"The evidence is now quite clear that breast cancer screening is harming 10 times as many women as it helps," Adams said. "It's time to start questioning the corporatization of the breast cancer industry, and whether we should be shifting our priorities to breast cancer prevention rather than treatment with harmful chemicals."

The Good News On Breast Cancer

2007-11-02T02:47:00.000-07:00

Did you know the exciting thing about breast cancer is that your chances of getting it are only one in twelve women? And that's directly from the Breast Cancer Institute. The other good news is that it is preventable and 90% of women diagnosed in the early stages go on to lead normal, healthy lives.

Whether you have breast cancer or if you are just concerned about the possibility of having a problem in that area, pop onto the Internet and you will find approximately 15,500,000 sites on treating breast cancer. The information on these sites varies from the extreme conventional approach to the extreme alternate. From total invasion therapy such as chemotherapy to massive dosages of some expensive product someone is trying to push. It is likely to leave the average person full of information but more confused than when they started. Like prostate cancer in men, everybody seems to have a different idea. What is very interesting is that I had to search very diligently to find any mention of prevention or treatment by lifestyle.

There is an absolute avalanche of information on conventional treatment with billions of our money being spent on research, chemo, radiation and surgery, but genuine natural preventative methods are thin on the ground and usually difficult to seek out, but persevere, they are out there.

Doctors are often very reluctant to recommend alternatives because they are scared of malpractice suits, due to their insurance which doesn’t cover alternatives plus the medical boards can and do suspend their licenses or fine them heavily. Besides which, only a small percentage of medical professionals know very much about alternatives anyway. Bureaucracy, politicians, lawyers; pharmaceutical companies dominate and control our conventional ‘health care’ system. They rule the treatments, not doctors.

A few things you should know about cancer treatments:

· Yes, alternative therapies do work when used in conjunction with an experienced practitioner. Almost all alternative therapies have documented scientific studies to back them up. These studied developments invariably take place outside the conventional system so go unreported. Some successful treatments are hundreds of years old and yet are still ignored by the media and mainstream medicine. To date the public has generally been kept in the dark but fortunately the Internet and media interests are opening doors.

· Basically, if you get the main alternative categories into perspective and put them all together you will obtain the best preventative results. These categories include nutrition, organic and raw foods (to retain the vital enzymes), exercise, detoxification, relaxation, mental and emotional attitude, avoiding electro magnetic radiation and re-building your immune system.

· It is vital to keep an open mind. There are two things that distinguish a survivor from those who do not survive. Survivors have the strongest desire to live and to carry on with their lives. They ask questions, they read books; they check the Internet, listen to tapes and make phone calls. That way they find out what will work for them. These people are not afraid to do something both different and positive.

You create your thoughts, no one else does. You can think negative thoughts or positive thoughts; it’s entirely up to you! Whatever you think, it will affect your body.

Kenali Jenis Kanker Payudara

2007-09-07T04:46:00.000-07:00

Kanker kini menjadi salah satu penyebab kematian utama di dunia dan Indonesia. Jumlah penderitanya pun makin meningkat. Berbagai hal menjadi penyebabnya, seperti gaya hidup yang tidak sehat, stres, alkohol, dan sebagainya.

Bagi wanita, kanker payudara yang paling ditakuti. Selain bisa menyebabkan hilangnya organ vital tersebut, kanker jenis ini juga bisa menimbulkan komplikasi yang serius, dan bahkan bisa berujung ke kematian. Sayangnya, kebanyakan penderita baru memeriksakan kondisinya setelah stadium lanjut. Akibatnya upaya atau penanganan medis yang dilakukan sudah terlambat. Padahal, jika bisa dideteksi sedini mungkin, maka tindakan medis yang dilakukan bisa sangat membantu.

Pada dasarnya ada beberapa jenis kanker payudara. Mengenal jenisnya sedari awal, akan sangat menentukan pola pengobatannya. Pakar onkologi, Dr Sutjipto SpB Onk, mengungkapkan, ada beberapa faktor yang mempengaruhi perkembangan kanker payudara. Ada jenis kanker payudara yang tumbuh yang lebih cepat dan ganas dibandingkan yang lain. Misalnya kanker payudara dengan HER2 (Human Epidermal growth factor Receptor type 2) positif.

''Perbedaan jenis kanker akan mempengaruhi pilihan pengobatan yang harus dijalani pasien. Sebab itu pasien harus mendapatkan pemeriksaan yang lengkap sebelum menjalani pengobatan,'' ujarnya dalam siaran pers terkait dengan kampanye Breast Friend.

Menurut Sutjipto, kanker payudara dengan HER2 positif memang merupakan salah satu jenis kanker yang tumbuh sangat cepat dan ganas. HER2 ER2 adalah protein yang bisa menyebabkan pertumbuhan kanker payudara menjadi lebih ganas.

''HER2 positif adalah sebutan yang diberikan bila kanker seseorang memiliki jumlah HER2 yang sangat besar,'' ujarnya menambahkan.

Diperkirakan, lanjut Sutjipto, satu dari empat atau lima pasien kanker payudara memiliki HER2 positif. Menjalani tes HER2 sebelum pengobatan sangat penting bagi pasien agar terapi yang diberikan tepat.

Sementara itu, Konsultan Bedah Payudara dari Inggris, Ian Laidlaw, dalam buku kampanye Breast Friend menjelaskan, jenis pengobatan bagi penderita kanker payudara tidak hanya tergantung jenis kankernya tapi juga pertimbangan lain. Misalnya ukuran kanker dan letaknya apakah telah menyebar ke jaringan di sekelilingnya atau organ tubuh lainnya.

Tahap pertama pengobatan kanker payudara adalah pengambilan sel-sel kanker tersebut melalui operasi. Pada umumnya, dokter melakukan operasi lumpektomi atau operasi pengambilan sebagian dari payudara pasien.

''Tetapi ada juga memerlukan proses mastektomi atau pengangkatan seluruh payudara penderita,'' jelasnya.

Dalam hal ini, katanya, sangat penting untuk mengetahui apakah terjadi penyebaran ke kelenjar getah bening. Dokter akan meneliti itu saat operasi. Dalam kasus tertentu, kemoterapi diperlukan untuk mengecilkan ukuran kanker yang ada dan memungkinkan dilakukannya operasi perbaikan payudara.

Setelah pembedahan, kebanyakan wanita menerima pengobatan tambahan untuk mengurangi peluang sel-sel kanker yang ada, kembali dan menyebar. Jenis terrapi ini umumnya adalah kemoterapi, terapi radiasi, terapi hormon, dan terapi biologik. Namun yang terpenting adalah mendiskusikan jenis pengobatan yang tepat dan jenis kanker payudara yang diderita dengan dokter yang merawatnya. ''Ini akan menenangkan pikiran pasien dan membantunya melawan kanker payudara,'' katanya.

Bisa Tumor Jinak, Tetap Berbahaya

2007-09-07T04:43:00.001-07:00

Payudara menjadi salah satu bagian tubuh yang sangat dibanggakan kaum wanita. Jika bagian tubuh ini terserang penyakit, rasa panik segera menyelimuti. Walaupun itu hanya dinyatakan benjolan atau tumor jinak.
Menurut Dr R Deden Sucahyana, SpB, Mkes, FIna CS, dokter spesialis Rumah Sakit Asia Medika Jambi, benjolan atau tumor yang ditemukan pada payudara tak semuanya ganas (kanker), akan tetapi dapat berupa tumor jinak atau akibat infeksi atau dapat juga karena kelainan pertumbuhan.

Dijelaskan Deden, tumor jinak payudara yang sering dijumpai itu, ada beberapa jenis. Yang pertama, kelainan Fibrokistik. Kelainan fibrokistik ini, jelas Deden, disebut juga mastitis kronik kistik, hiperplasia kistik, mastopatia kistik, displasia payudara, dan bayak nama lainnya.

Kelainan ini dapat dijumpai pada wanita usia 40 sampai dengan 50 tahun, tersering pada usia 40 tahunan. Kelompok penyakit ini sering mengganggu ketentraman penderita karena kecemasan akan keluhan nyerinya.

“Selain nyeri, sering disertai adanya benjolan pipih yang tidak jelas batasnya. Rasa nyeri semakin terasa terutama pada menjelang menstruasi,” paparnya.

Beberapa bentuk kelainan fibrokistik mengandung risiko untuk berkembang menjadi kanker payudara, tetapi umumnya tidak demikian. Bila ada keraguan, terutama bila pada benjolan tersebut teraba bagian yang kepadatannya berbeda, perlu dilakukan biopsy (operasi pengangkatan seluruh atau hanya sebagian benjolan). ”Nyeri yang hebat dan berulang atau penderita khawatir, dapat pula menjadi indikasi operasi untuk memastikan diagnosis,” jelasnya.

Tumor jinak payudara lain yang sering ditemukan, kata Deden, adalah fibroadenoma mammae (FAM). Fibroadenoma merupakan tumor jinak yang terutama terdapat pada wanita muda usia 10-40 tahun, tersering usia 20-an.

Fibroadenoma teraba sebagai benjolan bulat atau berbenjol-benjol dan konsistensinya kenyal. Tumor ini tidak melekat ke jaringan sekitarnya dan amat mudah digerakkan ke sana kemari. Biasanya tidak nyeri, tetapi kadang dirasakan nyeri bila ditekan. Kadang-kadang fibroadenoma tumbuh mulipel (dibanyak tempat).

“Pada masa pubertas bisa terdapat dalam ukuran besar. Pertumbuhan tumor ini bisa cepat sekali selama kehamilan dan laktasi atau menjelang menopause, saat rangsangan hormon estrogen meninggi,” bebernya. Ia juga menyebutkan, jika fibroadenoma harus dilakukan operasi pengangkatan tumor (ekstirpasi) karena tumor jinak ini akan terus membesar.

Tumor jinak ketiga yang sering ditemukan, kata Deden, tumor filoides atau sistosarkoma filoides. Tumor ini bisa didapat pada semua usia, tetapi umumnya pada usia sekitar 45 tahun. Tumor filoides merupakan tumor jinak yang bersifat infiltratif (menyusup) secara lokal dan mungkin ganas (10-15 persen).

Penangulangannya adalah eksisi luas atau membuang seluruh massa tumor dan jaringan sehat di sekitarnya. Jika tumornya besar biasanya perlu dilakukan mastektomi simpel (pengangkatan jaringan payudara yang terkena). Bila tumor ternyata ganas harus dilakuan mastektomi radikal (pengangkatan jaringan payudara yang terkena dan kelenjar getah bening ketiak).

Tumor jinak yang keempat yakni, papiloma intraduktus. Tumor jinak ini berasal dari duktus laktiferus atau saluran kelenjar susu atau payudara, dan 75 persen tumbuh di bawah puting susu. Gejala khasnya adalah keluar sekret/cairan berdarah dari puting susu. Pada 30 persen kasus disertai benjolan kecil diameter 3 sampai 4 mili meter yang teraba di bawah puting susu.

Sekret berdarah yang keluar dari puting susu juga dapat merupakan salah satu tanda keganasan, oleh karena itu sangat disarankan agar segera memeriksakan diri ke dokter bila menjumpai gejala ini.(usi)
