This Is What Your Period Is Saying About Your Health!

Women, what comes along about once a month, leaves us feeling sick and bloated, and is an absolute pain, in more ways than one?

That’s right. Our periods.

They are a necessary and normal bodily function in women, yet, we still consider them to be extremely taboo to talk about. Instead of the dreaded word “period,” we instead have a whole list of interesting nicknames for that time of the month. Shark week, Aunt Flo and riding the crimson wave are just a few.

However, women need to understand that their periods may be telling them something about their health. Most people don’t like to talk about problems, and this can cause minor to serious health issues to go unnoticed. I’ve had friends who had serious issues associated with their menstruation when they were in high school, and they didn’t know there was a problem until they were in college.

Taking notice of your flow and other period symptoms can help you understand a lot about your health, and help you be better informed when talking to a health care professional.

So, This is What Your Period is Saying About Your Health!

Color and Flow

According to Dr. Alisa Vitti, holistic health counselor and functional nutritionist, it is possible to describe most period colors in three different ways: mashed frozen blueberries, strawberry jam, and cranberry juice. The color of period blood can reveal a lot about hormonal health.

Periods that are similar in texture and color to frozen blueberries may be an indicator of high estrogen levels. This would also cause a heavier cycle than normal because higher estrogen levels mean the uterus lining could be thicker than normal.

Those who shed a lighter color, similar to strawberry jam, have the opposite problem. This may be a sign that estrogen levels are low. In this case, period flow can be patchy and is often late because less estrogen means a thinner lining. It should also be noted that a light flow is also associated with birth control use for some women.

The perfect color, according to Dr. Vitti, is a nice, saturated red color like cranberry juice. In this case, flow will usually start and end on time and will not become too heavy.

Spotting

If you are bleeding a little in between periods, it’s called spotting. This could mean something is wrong, so those who experience spotting should consult with a medical professional.

Here are some major causes of spotting:

Hormonal Imbalance – Spotting happens when progesterone and estrogen are out of balance. Dysfunctional ovaries, thyroid problems, and birth control methods can affect this balance.
Infection – Any infection, brought on by an STD or not, can cause spotting between periods.
Cancer – Cancer of the cervix, vagina, uterus, or ovaries can cause spotting. But this is rare.
Stress – Extreme stress can also cause a person to experience spotting.

Period Pain

Most will experience some amount of pain during their period, but severe pain that doesn’t go away needs to be mentioned to a healthcare professional.

The correct term for menstrual cramps is dysmenorrhea, and it happens to about half of the female population. The cause of dysmenorrhea is excessive amounts of prostaglandin — the hormone involved with inflammation and pain. Unfortunately, this is common.

What isn’t common is severe and disabling cramps that last for more than two days. This is a sign of endometriosis. Endometriosis is where the uterine lining is growing outside the uterus, normally in the pelvic area, instead of inside. When the lining is shed, it has nowhere to go. This is what causes the severe pain and cramps. About 10% of women suffer from endometriosis.

Keep this information in mind the next time Aunt Flo comes into town to visit. It may help you or someone you know!

Your Poop Is Trying To Tell You Something! Here’s What Your Poop Reveals About Your Health

Poop.

Some think it’s funny. Others don’t want to talk about it. But one way or another, everyone has to poop, and the state of your bowel movements can actually be pretty telling of your overall health.

“The digestive tract contains more bacterial cells than there are cells in the entire body,” says Dr. Jean-Pierre Raufman, a gastroenterologist at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. “It’s very important that our bowels work well to absorb necessary nutrients but also keep out any foods, chemicals and germs that could do us harm.”

Digestive issues are a pretty large problem in America. It’s believed that up to 70 million people in the United States are impacted by digestive diseases with nearly 50 million needing ambulatory care visits. 25,000 will be diagnosed with stomach cancer each year, and 10,000 will die of it every year.

The kinds of food you eat and how active you are can determine whether or not some of these digestive issues happen in the first place. If you think you may have a digestive disease, don’t try to self diagnose it. See a physician for a proper diagnosis.

Experts say that health problems can be indicated in your poop, so take note next time you have a bowel movement. This is what to look for:

Don’t panic if you poop and one of the scarier looking movements comes out of you. It doesn’t necessarily mean you’re ill. It could be stress or IBS or something else a bit more innocuous. If you have concerns, see your doctor.

Say Goodbye To Underarm Odor Forever With These 9 Effective Home Remedies!

Stop Shaving

Shaving it off usually creates problems, because body hair is there for reason. Skin is getting irritated when you use lotions and shaving creams. Depilatory cream or razor allows bacteria to grow and thus irritate the skin. The moisture that cause underarm odor or bacteria is absorbed by your hair.

Apple Cider Vinegar

You can simply a put a splash of lemon juice, a little water and ACV in spray bottle. Before you get dressed, spray that under your arms in the morning. You can also keep spray bottle at work if you need to reapply during the day. Your skin will be kept from bacteria that causes odor and will be kept balanced.

Natural Soap

You can eliminate underarm odor by cleaning the whole body (armpits) with natural soap. Buy natural handmade soap from goat’s milk if you do not want to make your own soap (castile soap).

Baking Soda

Most of you use baking soda to get rid of odors in your laundry or fridge, so why don’t you use to eliminate underarm odor too. This substance is natural and gentle. Make a mixture between a little cornstarch and a little baking soda and keep your skin dry and smell fresh all day. Use it according to your needs before get dressed.

Alcohol

Alcohol is powerful substance used for various things, including getting rid of odor. Use odorless alcohol (vodka) so you will not smell like alcohol. Mist some alcohol under the arms before you getting dressed and eliminate odor and bacteria.

Tea Tree Oil

These gentle oils can sole various skin problems including odor. Tree oil has been used as an antifungal and antibacterial agent for hundreds of years. Mix some natural rosewater and few drops of tea tree oil, spray under the arms

Hydrogen Peroxide

An excellent way to eliminate underarm odor is to use hydrogen peroxide. Mix water or natural rose water with hydrogen peroxide and eliminate the odor in a natural and healthy way.

Lemon

Lemon is the perfect fruit that will help you to eliminate household odors, so you also eliminate underarm odor. Lemon can solve this problem because it balances Ph level of the skin. Place a slice of lemon under the arms for 15 min and enjoy all day long.

Lime

Simply cut a small slice of lime, squeeze softly so juice starts to come out and rub onto your underarms. the lime juice kills up to 99% of bacteria and smells great. 1 lime can last a week or more if cut and stored properly

Signals Our Body Sends To Tell We Are Not Healthy – Do Not Ignore Them!

Moles

Moles are usually harmless, but if you notice moles appearing after your skin has been exposed to sun, make sure you consult your doctor.

Gray hair (sooner than you turn 40)

If 50 percent of your hair turns gray in younger ages, and there is no similar case in your family history, you may be dealing with diabetes.

Cracked lips

This is commonly caused by temperature changes and wind. But, if you deal with this condition more often, you may have a fungal infection or vitamin B deficiency.

Swollen neck

You should most certainly not ignore this. Human neck swells as a result of thyroid malfunction, usually in women aged between 20 and 50.

Eye whites

They should be always white, as literal as it may sound. Of course, that does not apply in cases of insufficient sleep or cold. Yellow eye whites indicate jaundice or liver/bile related problems. If your eye whites are red, you may have hypertension or any viral disease.

Red palms

This is a sign of eczema, dermatitis or allergic reaction. Red palms sometimes indicate liver problems.

Eye brows

If you lose your eye brows suddenly, you may have problems with your thyroid gland, it could be either hyperthyreose or hypothyreose.

Changes in nails

Nails tell a lot about your health condition, and certain changes may indicate a wide number of ailments. Thin and cracking nails are oftentimes a matter of genes, but they may also indicate calcium deficiency. Improper thyroid function also causes changes in your nails.

Ibuprofen Kills Thousands Each Year, So What Is The Alternative?

by Sayer Ji

A recent Reuters’ article opened with the following stunning sentence:

“Long-term high-dose use of painkillers such as ibuprofen or diclofenac is ‘equally hazardous’ in terms of heart attack risk as use of the drug Vioxx, which was withdrawn due to its potential dangers, researchers said.”

The 2004 Vioxx recall, as you may remember, was spurred by the nearly 30,000 excess cases of heart attacks and sudden cardiac deaths caused by the drug between 1999-2003. Despite the fact that scientific research had accumulated as early as 2000 linking Vioxx to increased heart attacks and strokes, the drug’s manufacturer Merck, and the FDA, remained silent as the death toll steadily increased.

The Reuters report focused on new research published in Lancetindicating the risk of heart attack increases as much as a third and the risk of heart failure doubles among heavier users of NSAID drugs.

INFLAMED: Our Default Bodily State

Why are so many folks taking NSAID drugs like ibuprofen anyway?

Pain and unhealthy levels of inflammation are fast becoming default bodily states in the industrialized world. While in most cases we can adjust the underlying pro-inflammatory conditions by altering our diet, and reducing stress and environmental chemical exposures, these approaches take time, discipline and energy, and sometimes we just want the pain to stop now. In those often compulsive moments we find ourselves popping an over-the-counter pill to kill the pain.

The problem with this approach is that, if we do it often enough, we may kill ourselves along with the pain…

Ibuprofen really is a perfect example of this. As mentioned above, this petrochemical-derivative has been linked to significantly increased risk of heart attack and increased cardiac and all-cause mortality(when combined with aspirin), with over two dozen serious adverse health effects, including:

Anemia[1]
DNA Damage[2]
Hearing Loss[3]
Hypertension[4]
Influenza Mortality[5]
Miscarriage[6]

Ibuprofen is, in fact, not unique in elevating cardiovascular disease risk and/or mortality. The entire category of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) appears to have this under-recognized dark side; cardiovascular disease and cardiac mortality score highest on the list of over 100 unintended adverse health effects associated with their use. See also our analysis of the rarely acknowledged dark side to aspirin: The Evidence Against Aspirin And For Natural Alternatives.

So, what does one do? Pain is pain. Whether it happens to you, or you witness it in another (which can be worse), finding relief is a top priority.

Research on Natural Alternatives To Ibuprofen

Here is some evidence-based research on alternatives to ibuprofen, sourced from the National Library of Medicine:

Ginger – A 2009 study found that ginger capsules (250 mg, four times daily) were as effective as the drugs mefenamic acid and ibuprofen for relieving pain in women associated with their menstrual cycle (primary dysmenorrhea). [7]
Topical Arnica – A 2007 human study found that topical treatment with arnica was as effective as ibuprofen for hand osteoarthritis, but with lower incidence of side effects.[8]
Combination: Astaxanthin, Ginkgo biloba and Vitamin C – A 2011 animal study found this combination to be equal to or better than ibuprofen for reducing asthma-associated respiratory inflammation.[9]
Chinese Skullcap (baicalin) – A 2003 animal study found that a compound in Chinese skullcap known as baicalin was equipotent to ibuprofen in reducing pain.[10]
Omega-3 fatty acids: A 2006 human study found that omega-3 fatty acids (between 1200-2400 mg daily) were as effective as ibuprofen in reducing arthritis pain, but with the added benefit of having less side effects.[11]
Panax Ginseng – A 2008 animal study found that panax ginseng had analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity similar to ibuprofen, indicating its possible anti-rheumatoid arthritis properties.[12]
St. John’s Wort – A 2004 animal study found that St. John’s wort was twice as effective as ibuprofen as a pain-killer.[13]
Anthrocyanins from Sweet Cherries & Raspberries – A 2001 study cell study found that anthrocyanins extracted from raspberries and sweet cherries were as effective as ibuprofen and naproxen at suppressing the inflammation-associated enzyme known as cyclooxygenase-1 and 2.[14]
Holy Basil – A 2000 study found that holy basil contains compounds with anti-inflammatory activity comparable to ibuprofen, naproxen and aspirin.[15]
Olive Oil (oleocanthal) – a compound found within olive oil known as oleocanthal has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties similar to ibuprofen.[16]

There are, of course, hundreds of additional substances which have been studied for their pain-killing and/or anti-inflammatory effects, and there are also aromatherapeutic approaches that do not require the ingestion of anything at all, but there is also a danger here. When we think of taking an alternative pain-killer to ibuprofen, we are still thinking within the palliative, allopathic medical model: suppress the symptom, and go on about our business. It would behoove us to look deeper into what is causing our pain. And when possible, remove the cause(s). And that often requires a dramatic dietary shift away from pro-inflammatory foods, many of which most Westerners still consider absolutely delightful, e.g. wheat, dairy, nighshade vegetables and even wheat-free grains, etc.

7 Pains You Should Never Ever Ignore!

Sometimes, the pains we feel do not indicate some serious health issue, but we must take note of those symptoms which may be indicating something problematic in our body. These signs usually occur suddenly, linger longer than usual, but somehow seem different, and we need to consult the doctor, the sooner, the better.

This article will explain all pains that are considered red flags according to experts.

Severe head pain

Severe headaches can mean that you suffer from migraine. However, if it isn’t accompanied by other migraine symptoms (such as a visual aura), sudden, severe head pain, this can signal a brain aneurysm. Namely, Elsa-Grace Giardina, MD, a cardiologist and director of the Center for Women’s Health at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center states that “a burst aneurysm can cause brain damage within minutes, so you need to call 911 immediately.”

Abdominal discomfort accompanied by gas or bloating

We all have occasional belly bloating and gasses, but if you start experiencing these symptoms almost daily for more than two or three weeks, consider it a red flag and you should schedule an appointment with your ob-gyn to discuss your symptoms.

If these symptoms are new, the worst-case scenario is ovarian cancer. In 2007, the Gynecologic Cancer Foundation released the first national consensus on early symptoms of this form of cancer: bloating, pelvic or abdominal pain, and difficulties with eating.

Back pain with tingling toes

If you have done a difficult physical activity and afterwards you feel back pain with tingling toes, anti-inflammatories should banish the pain. If they offer no help, it means you should visit an orthopedist.

Letha Griffin, MD, an orthopedist and sports medicine specialist in Atlanta warns that “One of your discs (the spongy rings that cushion the bones in your spine) could be pressing on the spinal nerve.” This condition can lead to permanent nerve damage if not treated properly.

A throbbing tooth

If the white enamel of your tooth is cracked or rotting away and it’s likely that the tooth’s nerve has become damaged, you need to patch it immediately, for bacteria in your mouth can invade the nerve.

If the tooth is already infected, it’ll require a root canal, in which the tooth’s bacteria-laden pulp is removed and replaced with plastic caulking material. Kimberly Harms, DDS, a dentist outside St. Paul, Minnesota, adds that “you definitely don’t want that breeding colony to spread throughout your body.”

Chest pain

A preventive cardiologist, D-r Arthur Agatston, MD, notes that “many patients could avoid needless worry and expense if they were to become well versed in what I think of as the subtle language of the heart. Studies have found that women experience a wider range of heart attack symptoms than men do.”

His experience taught him that there are three good indicators of a heart attack, and they can occur in either gender. They are: chest pain that doesn’t go away, varied shortness of breath, and any upper body pain that hasn’t occurred before. If you experience any of these symptoms, you should call your doctor or 911 immediately.

Leg pain with swelling

Blod clot or deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) will cause symptoms like extreme tenderness of an area of the calf and major swelling, red in color or warm to the touch. You should not try to massage the area or to try walking off the pain. If the clot breaks free, it can travel through your veins up to your lungs and cut off your oxygen supply. You just need to visit your doctor as soon as possible.

The doctor will do a CT scan or ultrasound to check for a DVT. In case of a positive diagnosis, you’ll need to take blood thinners—sometimes for up to a year—to dissolve it, says Suzanne Steinbaum, MD, director of women and heart disease for the Heart and Vascular Institute at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City.

Sharp pain in your side

If you feel as if you’re being skewered in the right side of your body, and you’re also nauseated and running a fever, you could have appendicitis. It may be an ovarian cancer, if these symptoms occur in women.

Typically these fluid-filled sacs are harmless and disappear on their own, but if one twists or ruptures, it can cause terrible pain. Both cases are resolved with an emergent surgery.

Lin Chang, MD, a gastroenterologist and co-director of the Center for Neurovisceral Sciences and Women’s Health at UCLA adds that “if you don’t remove an inflamed appendix, it can burst,” Considering the fact that it can block blood flow to the ovary within hours, a cyst also needs to be removed right away.

You Also Need To Know the symptoms of a stroke

According to the American Heart Association, stroke is known as the third leading cause of death in the United States and a leading cause of serious disabilities. That means that everyone must learn the symptoms of stroke in order to know when it is necessary to immediately call 9-1-1.

Some of the most prominent stroke signs are the following:

Sudden, severe headache with no known cause
Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding
Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg, especially on one side of the body
Sudden vision problems, in one or both eyes
Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination

What Is Your Headache Telling You? Warning Signs Your Headache Is Dangerous

Everyone's had a day in bed with a headache. Sometimes, admittedly, we did it to ourselves. A good night out is a great way to score a killer cranium the next day, and the only reason that pain isn't worrisome is that we all know how it happened. But what about those times when you don't know where your headache is from? Headaches, like most aches and pains, are the way your body tells you, "Hey, listen up dude, I need something". That "something" can be pretty benign, but it could be a sign of something more serious.

Thunderclap Headache Is Nothing To Clap About (Put Your Damn Hands Down)

These headaches are scary because they come out of effing nowhere. This baby has a severe and sudden onset and takes only seconds to reach maximum intensity. It can be an indicator of a number of health problems. The scariest of these is a subarachnoid hemorrhage, which can be life-threatening.

"Enforce This!" — This Guy's Head

There are many times in life when your head is going to just give you a big "nope" and keep you aching in the dark with a bucket. Some people risk head injury for a living and though this is a fact of life (hockey, boxing, football, etc. are not possible without risk of injury), pain needs to be monitored to keep serious problems from developing.

Rise And Shine! You Get A Headache For Breakfast!

If you're waking up wanting to rip your hair out BEFORE finding out you have nothing to wear, you may have a headache that needs attention. According to The National Headache Foundation, "Serious diseases may cause early morning awakening headaches. These diseases may include brain tumors, sleep apnea, and severe high blood pressure."

There Is Something In Medicine Known Simply As "The Worst Headache Of Your Life"

This is also known as a cluster headache, but you can easily find it putting "The Worst Headache Of Your Life" into Google because doctors literally call it that. It's unclear what causes these monsters, but they usually strike in one part of the head and make it nearly impossible to live a normal life until the headache decides to leave you alone.

All The Other Unusual Feels That You Get Above The Shoulders

It's easy to scar yourself when you look at these but don't worry, this is just to give you and your doctor something to talk about. Take note if you notice headache-related changes in vision, digestion, mood, neck tension and irritability.

A Chart And Everything! You're Welcome!

Like every important thing on the internet, there's a chart for that. Headaches can be serious or not, depending on what causes them. Having a visual way of describing your problem will help health-care professionals classify your headache accurately and get you the help you need (although, you're probably fine, don't freak out).

20 Deadly Cancer Symptoms Most Women Ignore

Routine tests are not that efficient when it comes to preventing cancer. Learn how to listen to your body. Notice every change, every sign that may indicate that something is wrong. Here are 20 important signs that women often overlook:

Wheezing and shortness of breath

Patients diagnosed with lung cancer say that this is the first symptom they remember is being unable to catch a breath.

Chronic cough and chest pain

Leukemia, lung tumors and other types of cancer sometimes cause symptoms that resemble a severe cough or bronchitis. Patients with lung cancer say that their chest pain had sometimes extended up to their shoulder or down their arm.

Frequent fever and infection

These may indicate leukemia, a kind of cancer that attacks blood cells and develops in the bone marrow. The marrow produces abnormal white blood cells and affects the body’s ability to fight infections.

Difficulty swallowing

It may be a symptom of esophageal or throat cancer. In some cases, it is considered as an early symptom of lung cancer.

Swollen lymph nodes or lumps on the neck, underarm or groin

These may be a sign of changes in the lymphatic system, which can oftentimes be a symptom of cancer.

Excessive bruising and bleeding that does not stop

These are a sign that there is something wrong with the platelets and red blood cells. In some cases, this can indicate leukemia. After some period, the number of leukemia cells becomes a lot higher than that of red blood cells and platelets, and the blood cannot perform its function to carry oxygen and clot.

Weakness and fatigue

General fatigue and weakness may be a sign of many kinds of cancer. Consider any other weird symptom that you have in order to determine whether it is cancer. Consult your doctor every time you feel exhausted for no reason, also in cases when proper sleeping does not help either.

Bloating or abdominal weight gain

Unexplained abdominal bloating may sometimes be a sign of ovarian cancer. It occurs suddenly and continues on and off for a long time.

Feeling of fullness and being unable to eat

In some cases, women diagnosed with ovarian cancer have no appetite and cannot eat, even when they have not had a decent meal for some time.

Pelvic and abdominal pain

Pain and cramps in the abdomen, in combination with bloating, may indicate ovarian cancer. Leukemia also causes abdominal pain, which occurs as a result of the enlarged spleen.

Rectal bleeding or bloody stool

This is a common symptom of colorectal cancer. Consult your doctor if you notice blood in your stool, and schedule a colonoscopy as soon as possible.

Unexplained weight loss

Sudden and unexplained weight loss is an early symptom of colon and similar digestive cancers. It may also indicate a cancer that has metastasized to the liver, which decreases appetite and affects body’s ability to eliminate waste.

Upset stomach and stomachache

Frequent stomach cramps and upset stomach are a common symptoms of colorectal cancer.

A red, sore, and swollen breast

These may be a sign of inflammatory breast cancer. Consult your doctor about any weird or sudden change to your breasts.

Nipple changes

Before being diagnosed with breast cancer, most women remember having their nipples flattened, inverted, or turned sideways.

Unusually heavy and painful periods, or bleeding between periods

This is an early sign of endometrial or uterine cancer. Schedule a transvaginal ultrasound if your periods are heavier than usual.

Swollen features on the face

Patients diagnosed with lung cancer often experience puffiness, swelling, or redness on the face. Small lung tumor cells block the blood vessels in the chest, and the blood cannot flow freely from the head and the face.

Sores or skin lumps that do not heal, create a crust and bleed easily

Learn more about the different types of skin cancer or melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. Check your skin for any growths and spots.

Changes in nails

Sudden changes to the fingernails may indicate several kinds of cancer. Brown or black streak or dots under the nail may indicate skin cancer. “Clubbing” or enlarged ends of fingers and curved nails may indicate lung cancer. Pale and white nails may be a symptom of liver cancer.

Pain in the back and in the lower right side

This is an early sign of liver cancer. Back pain is a common symptom of breast cancer, because tumors press the chest. The pain sometimes occurs when the cancer reaches the spine or the ribs.

Here is what Dr Mercola explains:

“Whether you are a man or a woman, it’s important to watch for any unusual changes in your body and energy levels in order to detect any signs of cancer early on. The sooner you notice there’s a problem, the sooner you can begin to take the steps necessary to promote healing within your body.

Of course, ideally you should follow an anti-cancer lifestyle even before you notice any symptoms, as prevention is the best route when it comes to most chronic diseases. It is not unusual for 10 or more years to pass between exposure to a cancer-causing agent (tobacco, chemicals, radiation, cell phones, poor nutrition, etc.) and detectable cancer.”

This means you have enough time to affect the progression of the disease

Cancer is observed as a group of diseases associated with abnormal cells that grow and spread uncontrollably. Experts explain that “curing” the disease means controlling the growth of such cells and stop their spreading.

Human body has the ability to heal itself and this potency depends on your daily routines, dietary habits, physical activity, sun exposure and proper sleep. Healthy lifestyle, accompanied with the ability to cope with emotional stress, helps the body to maintain a normal and healthy balance.

Ignoring these health and lifestyle principles is not the only problem that is associated with cancer. Conventional medicine suggests applying invasive and risky treatments, including surgery, chemotherapy and radiation.

It may be hard for you to believe, but latest landmark studies have found that certain cancers, even invasive cases, may disappear without any treatment, and this is absolutely possible, even though people cannot understand it.

What is even worse, experts believe that cancer patients are more likely to die from chemo and other cancer treatments than the disease itself.

Cancer deaths run at alarming death rates, and according to Dr Tullio Simoncini, an Italian oncologist, the mortality rate of the disease is 90 percent. This says much about the effectiveness or if you prefer, the lack of such treatments. Despite this fact, they are still considered as a gold standard of cancer treatment. Cancer rates keep rising and that is what worries experts most.

According to the American Cancer Society data, about one and half million new cases of cancer are expected in the US. This number does not include the cases of basal and squamous cell skin cancer, which is about a million.

More than 1,500 people will die from cancer every day, which is one out of every four deaths in the US

According to the latest estimations, by 2030, about 26 million people a year may be diagnosed, and 17 million people will die from the disease. But, many of these cases can be prevented.

The American Cancer Society says that about a third of the expected 562,000 cancer deaths will be linked to obesity, physical inactivity, and malnutrition. Tobacco use will be the cause of another 169,000 death cases.

The lack of vitamin D from sun exposure is another commonly overlooked cause of cancer, and the good news is that it can be easily changed. Optimizing vitamin D levels will make about half of the cancer cases disappear.

What should you do if you suspect you have cancer?

The first step you should do is seek a guidance of a trusted and knowledgeable natural health care practitioner. This is a personal decision, and you should at least keep an open mind on it.

Most people decide to go for conventional cancer treatments like radiation or chemo, because they simply believe these are the only option they have. Luckily, there are much healthier and safer options, like baking soda, for instance, and we bet that you already have some in your kitchen pantry.

Sodium bicarbonate offers a natural form of chemotherapy. It kills off cancer cells without affecting normal cells, and of course it does not have any of the side effects of costs of regular chemo treatment. As Dr Mark Sircus explains, the only problem with this method is that it is super cheap. It cannot bring any profit which is why no one is eager to promote it.

Dr Simoncini has had an amazing experience regarding this method. According to him, 99 percent of all bladder and breast cancers can be healed within just 6 days, of course, without any surgery, chemo or radiation. His treatment involves using a local infiltration device, like a catheter, which would carry sodium bicarbonate directly to the affected tissue in the breast or bladder.

In this video you can watch how the treatment works.

Dr Hamer’s German New Medicine (GNM) is another similar approach. It is based on the idea that every disease, even cancer, is caused by a sudden shock, and that every disease can be treated and cured by eliminating such underlying emotional traumas. Dr Hammer refused to disavow his findings and that brought him a prison sentence, because he was accused of treating his patients with unortodox technique. He lives in exile and seeks for asylum from persecution.

Keep your vitamin D level in optimal range

Cancer patients should understand that optimizing their vitamin D level is of crucial importance. Watch this vitamin D lecture and learn more about the correct levels.

Calcitriol is the most important steroid hormone in the human body. If your vitamin D level is at high range, this hormone is produced in large amounts in your bodily tissues. Unfortunately, most cancer patients suffer from vitamin D deficiency.

Calcitrol is also the activated form of vitamin D. It protects against cancer, because it induces cell differentiation and controls cell proliferation. Patients who are vitamin D deficient cannot make enough activated vitamin D. Large amounts of this vitamin are needed to control cell proliferation, which helps in reducing cancer. This methtod has no side effects and it is free.

If you have cancer or know someone that has been diagnosed with some kind of cancer, or even if you suspect you have cancer, watch this vitamin D lecture. It will help you raise your vitamin D level until you reach the therapeutic range.

12 tips on how to reduce the risk of developing cancer

As we already said, anti-cancer lifestyle will help you stay healthy and maintain the balance in your body. It will also help you prevent cancer. Here are some useful tips on how to improve your lifestyle and start living a healthier life:

Optimize your vitamin D level. Get enough sunlight and consider proper and healthy supplementation whenever you cannot walk in the sun. If you have cancer and you take your vitamin D orally, check your vitamin D blood level regularly.
Reduce or completely eliminate any processed foods, sugar and grain carbohydrates. The same applies to whole unprocessed organic grains, because they are quickly converted into insulin and leptin, and that is the last thing your body needs when it comes to treating and preventing cancer.
Monitor your fasting levels of insulin and leptin. That is the end test and you can easily check it with the help of cheap blood tests.
Normalize the ratio of omega-3 and omega-6 fats. Increase the intake of high-quality animal-based omega-3 fats, such as krill oil and avoid processed vegetable oil.
Stay active. Exercising decreases insulin levels. Controlling your insulin levels is essential, as it will help you prevent cancer.
Sleep enough.
Make your diet plan according to your nutritional type. This principle has a powerful anti-cancer effect, but unfortunately, it has been long underappreciated. This is one of the basic anti-cancer strategy in many clinics.
Stay away from environmental toxins. Avoid pesticides, household chemical-laden cleaning products, synthetic air fresheners and polluted areas.
Be careful about the radiation produced by cell phones, cell towers, base stations and WiFi stations. Provide proper protection.
Do not fry or charbroil your meals. Boiling, poaching an steaming are much healthier options.
Use a tool that will permanently reprogram your neurological short-circuiting that may activate your cancer genes. According to CDC, emotions are responsible for about 85 percent of the disease. This may be more important than any other physical factor, so make sure you address this. The Meridian Tapping Technique is considered as an excellent approach.
One third of your food should be raw. Eating 85 percent of your food raw is much better, of course, if you have no problems achieving it.

You will not find these and similar approaches and cancer-preventing treatments elsewhere, because, yes, conservative researchers have not formally ‘proven’ their efficacy. But, did you know that 85 percent of the conventional treatments used today are not proven neither?
