Tips For Cancer
Neuroblastoma, an aggressive childhood tumor
Children are most affected with a very aggressive brain tumor that bears the name of neuroblastoma.
Such a tumor would be associated with a genetic trait through a variation in the number of copies of DNA according to a study at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and the Pennsylvania School of Medicine published in the journal Nature.
This tumor, usually fatal for the victim, could be part of a chain of variations in DNA copy number (CNV). Such changes are present between nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), which features one side (in some cases) is a nature susceptible to cancer.
The study was led by John Maris, and he became involved in an analysis of genome-wide association in patients with neuroblastoma . Among the findings was discovered VNC found on chromosome 1 that could be associated with the disease.
The research team has determined that this genome is usually expressed in fetal brain tissue and that would be involved in the initial stages of tumor development.
Soursop, helps kill cancer cells
Its scientific name is Annona muricata and is part of the family of the c. Grown mainly in tropical America, Southeast Asia and islands, the Philippines , is a fruit that could represent a revolution in scientific level of proven its ability to kill cancer cells without harming healthy ones.
The guava has a fruit similar to cherimoya and weighs between 2 and 4 kilos, with a white pulp / yellow very fleshy, with abundant juice and a sour taste.
It is said that this fruit has properties that can make a real revolution in scientific, since it has been found to have capacity to kill cancer cells without affecting the rest of the sound.
Furthermore, no side effects as chemotherapy (weight loss, nausea, hair loss) and does not attack the immune system leaving it susceptible to being affected by common diseases.
It also has anti-bacterial properties make it an effective remedy to fight infections caused by fungi and bacteria .
Now if all of the above is true the immediate question is why is not widespread use of this medicinal plant and the response level is the low profitability of the product.
Being a natural result can not be obtained a patent for a company and have decided to exploit the uniqueness of your advertising, would detract from the fact that profitability if looked at from the standpoint of a business.
All companies are aware that not enjoy any benefit if they decide to invest resources and time in various trials of this product for later sale and as a result of this equation the potential consumers are deprived of enjoying their medicinal properties.
Eating watercress would slow the growth of breast tumors
Eating watercress often help prevent the development of mammary tumors . This was revealed by a recent study conducted by scientists at the University of Southampton, England.
The research says that the watercress leaves contain phenylethyl isothiocyanate, a factor which can slow the growth of cancerous polyps in the breast. This property, which is what gives it its unique taste to watercress to “pepper”, is acting as blocking a protein that promotes tumor growth.
For the study the scientists called for 80 volunteers who ingested 80 grams of watercress per day. Among those who participated in the test found that all had elevated blood level of anti-cancer molecules past a few hours after eating a salad made from that plant.
The tumors usually develop rapidly and usually exceed the levels of blood but the phenylethyl isothiocyanate restricts the ability of oxygen, which in turn manages to limit the spread of cancer cells. The cancerous tissue by blood sends signals that stimulate the growth of healthy cells, through Hypoxia Inducible Factor protein (HIF), located in the central part of this process.
It is precisely where the beneficial element acts containing the watercress, in an absolutely natural, blocking the function of this protein harmful. Research carried out by British scientists was funded by the Watercress Alliance company and published in the British press.
Fruit would slow cancer growth
In a study at the University of Hong Kong, some fruits such as mangoes could help slow the development of certain cancers.
According to the study published in the journal Cancer Research, lupeol, a compound that exists in the mango, grapes and strawberries, have an effective action to eliminate and control the growth of cancer cells in the head and neck.
The experiment was based on the administration of lupeol mice with cancer cells in head and neck. This component would act on a protein NFkB, a protein involved in repair and growth of both normal cells and cancer cells. Lupeol thus suppress the growth and migration of cancer cells.
They also underlined the fact that substance qe produced almost no unwanted side effects as other chemotherapies, such as weight loss.
The objectives for the future raises the possibility of conducting clinical trials in humans, as this protein (NFKB) on lupeol acts, would be activated in human tumors such as prostate and liver.
The Best Preventive Treatment Of Cancer
The best preventive treatment of cancer, which is now accepted by cardiologists and oncologists are a vegetarian diet, in which we find: “Food that has been researched active ingredients which act as food, medicines, many for the actions of its principles as a powerful antioxidant effect that is directly linked with the best immune capacity of patients and the survival of themselves. ”
Consequently believes that in addition to a preventive diet vegetarian diet should be basic in any department of oncology. After the very large number of studies performed, it appears that only vegetarians with cancer, which demonstrates their importance as primary prevention.
the important thing is its role as secondary prevention, if you have already had cancer, and as a tertiary prevention when they have occurred stages of metastasis. Not forget that: “The low-calorie diets prolong life and improve the system immune.
Other Nutrition Recommendations
Other nutrition recommendations:
The basic diet is a diet adapted amended to make it suitable. It is useful in patients with chewing problems or have difficulty swallowing liquids (crushed diets high nutritional value, texture modifiers, enriching the diet).
Also useful are dietary supplements: are dietary products that contain concentrated nutrients to meet the nutritional needs of patients. Are indicated when dietary advice is not enough to meet the nutritional requirements. Read the rest of this entry »

Specific dietary recommendations for special situations:
Vomiting: You must reduce the intake of fats and fried foods with strong odor they produce nausea. It is also important to reduce the anxiety that does not contribute to proper digestion.
Constipation: exercise and adequate intake of fiber reduces constipation. It is recommended to consume in the form of fruit (prunes, raisins, kiwi, orange juice), whole grains, vegetables and legumes. Avoid fats and foods like quince, tea, or rice. If these measures are insufficient resort to laxatives. Read the rest of this entry »
Nutritional food for Cancer Patient
Nutrition is one of the most important aspects of oncology patients, both for its impact as meaning: almost 90% of patients with advanced malignancies have a significant weight loss, and on the other hand, studies indicate that the state Nutrition is a prognostic indicator of survival. Inadequate nutrition begins even at the time of diagnosis because the psychological impact that this implies, negatively inicide food intake. In addition, some anti-tumor treatments, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery, leaving many patients in an extremely unfavorable nutritional status. Read the rest of this entry »
The transplantation of peripheral blood, as effective as spinal
The haematopoietic stem cell transplantation has been consolidated in recent years as a good alternative to traditional bone marrow transplantation. This method allows cells in the bloodstream of a compatible donor, able to repopulate the bone marrow of a patient with leukemia, more simply and without anesthesia. A study published in the journal ‘The Lancet’ after 10 years of follow clarifies some of the doubts that still could be on its use.
For hematopoietic progenitors (blood stem cells able to repopulate the marrow) ‘enough’ to refer to the donor pretreatment to multiply the presence of these units in their blood and then extracting and implanting them in a patient with leukemia or other haematological malignancies.
