Clean your kidneys...

Gmail - Fwd: Fw: Clean your kidneys... - venkym1@gmail.com: "CLEAN YOUR KIDNEYS IN LESS THAN Rs 1.00

Years pass by and our kidneys are filtering the blood by removing salt, poison and any unwanted entering our body. With time, the salt accumulates and this needs to undergo cleaning treatments and how are we going to overcome this?

It is very easy, first take a bunch of parsley (MALLI Leaves) KOTHIMBIR (DHANIYA)and wash it clean

Then cut it in small pieces and put it in a pot and pour clean water and boil it for ten minutes and let it cool down and then filter it and pour in a clean bottle and keep it inside refrigerator to cool.

Drink one glass daily and you will notice all salt and other accumulated poison coming out of your kidney by urination also you will be able to notice the difference which you never felt before.

Parsley is known as best cleaning treatment for kidneys and it is natural!"

Urine test predicted results of prostate biopsy | HemOncToday

Urine test predicted results of prostate biopsy | HemOncToday: "The PCA3 urine test accurately predicted whether a prostate biopsy would detect cancer in a prospective subanalysis of patients in the Reduction by Dutasteride of Prostate Cancer Events — or REDUCE — trial.

Jack Groskopf, PhD, director of research and development in cancer diagnostics at Gen-Probe, presented the findings of the analysis during a press conference in advance of the 2010 Genitourinary Cancers Symposium. He said these latest results expand on previous studies indicating that the PCA3 test is another tool to determine how frequently prostate cancer biopsies are necessary.

The PCA3 gene is over-expressed in prostate cancers but not in benign prostate disorders such as prostatitis or enlarged prostate. The PCA3 molecular test measures PCA3 expression in urine samples. The test is being test marketed in Europe and is available in some certified laboratories in the United States as a laboratory developed test.

“The PCA3 scores correlated with risk of a positive biopsy,” Groskopf said. “We also found that PCA3 could add value on top of a multivariate model using serum PSA and other clinical information. PCA3 had greater specificity than serum PSA.”

When comparing PCA3 scores at two years vs. biopsy outcomes at four years, it is possible that PCA3 picked up cancers undetected by biopsy, according to Groskopf.

Researchers evaluated the test in 1,072 men in the placebo arm of REDUCE. They found that only 6% of men with a PCA3 score less than 5 were later diagnosed with cancer. In contrast, 57% of those with a score of 100 or greater were later found to have cancer.

Groskopf said median PCA3 scores were higher in men with high-grade cancers than in those with low-grade cancers. In addition, men with elevated PCA3 scores and a negative biopsy at two years from baseline were twice as likely to have cancer detected through prostate biopsy at four years compared with men with lower PCA3 scores.

Gmail - FW: Excellent article on Cancer - venkym1@gmail.com: "AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY AND ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHNS HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY .
Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins :
1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion.
When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.


2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime.


3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumours.
4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors.
5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.
6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastro-intestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.


7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.
8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumour size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumour destruction.
9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.


10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.
11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.
WHAT CANCER CELLS FEED ON:
a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful.
A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in colour. Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt.




b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk, cancer cells are being starved.


c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.


d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts)and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).


e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties. Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.


12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become putrefied and leads to more toxic build-up.


13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.
14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Florescence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the body's own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.


15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, unforgiveness and bitterness put the body into a s stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.
16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.

PSA Reading Could Predict Post-Radiation Survival - Cancer Information (Cancers, Symptoms, Treatment) on MedicineNet.com

PSA Reading Could Predict Post-Radiation Survival - Cancer Information (Cancers, Symptoms, Treatment) on MedicineNet.com: "PSA Reading Could Predict Post-Radiation Survival

WEDNESDAY, Nov. 4 (HealthDay News) -- Prostate cancer patients whose prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels rise within 18 months after radiotherapy have an increased risk of death, say U.S. researchers.

Their study included more than 2,100 patients with clinically localized prostate cancer who experienced biochemical failure (lowest PSA level plus 2 nanograms per milliliter) after treatment. The median interval between treatment and biochemical failure was 35.2 months, but 19% of patients developed biochemical failure at 18 months or less.

Five-year, cancer-specific survival for patients who developed biochemical failure within 18 months was 69.5%, compared with 89.8% for those who developed biochemical failure more than 18 months after treatment.

The study was to be presented Wednesday at the annual meeting of the American Society for Radiation Oncology in Chicago.

'PSA is the gold standard for following prostate cancer patients after they receive radiation or surgery. But we haven't known if having PSA rise sooner means a patient has a greater danger of dying of prostate cancer, though it seems logical,' study leader Dr. Mark K. Buyyounouski, a radiation oncologist at the Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia, said in a news release from the center.

'Now we can use the simple criteria from this study, which is widely available for anyone who has PSA testing, to identify men who have a greater than 25% chance of dying from prostate cancer in the next five years. That is huge. There is nothing else that can do that.'

Currently, biochemical failure alone doesn't prompt treatment. Doctors usually wait until a patient's PSA reaches a high level or there is some other evidence of tumor spread.

This study suggests that treatment can begin 'far sooner without waiting for other signs or symptoms of prostate cancer,' Buyyounouski said. 'If a patient has biochemical failure at 16 months, rather than wait and learn later that the PSA is rising sharply and risk the development of distant metastasis, therapy can be started sooner based on the increased risk of death.'

Health Benefit Of Apricot...Excellent Source Of Antioxidants And Nutrition

Health Benefit Of Apricot...Excellent Source Of Antioxidants And Nutrition: "Health Benefit Of Apricot...An Amazing Fruit Bursting With Antioxidants And Nutrition




apricots, antioxidants

The health benefit of apricot is quite amazing. Not only is it bursting with goodness it is a great favorite for people on a diet.

Why?

Well...it provides a large amount of healthful nutrition to the body but it is extremely low in calories compared to other fruits. It is estimated that three apricots provide only 50 calories. And totally fat free too.

Did you know that 2-3 fresh apricots will satisfy nearly 50% of your daily value (RDA) of beta carotene. It is also high in lycopene...a powerful antioxidant....which makes apricots a heart healthy food and help to strenghten the immune system.

Both beta-carotene and lycopene protect LDL (bad) cholesterol from oxidation, which may help prevent heart disease.

What does beta carotene do? Well for starters it is a powerful antioxidant. It also helps the arteries, preventing plaque build up in them. Your eyes will be protected from sun damage and beta carotene deactivates harmful free radicals that, as we all know increases the risk of many diseases including cancer.

Our bodies convert beta carotene to vitamin A. That's good news for your eyes. Not only will it help vision but it will also keep the eyes well lubricated. People who wear contact lens should take note of this and include apricots in their diet.

More health benefit of apricot...they are great for the blood too. They contain significant levels of iron which is essential for hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying pigment in red blood cells. If our bodies are low in iron it can lead to anaemia, pale skin, and even undernourished thinning hair.

Apricots have nutrients that can protect the heart as well as a great source of fibre, which has a host of benefits including preventing constipation and digestive conditions such as diverticulosis(a painful bowel condition which is associated with ageing).



Fresh apricots are an excellent source of Vitamins A, C, E and potassium too.

The health benefit of apricot is even better if you eat them dried. Not only can they be enjoyed all year round, but also they have an even higher concentration of vitamins and nutrients, but a word of warning...they are slightly higher in carbs.

It is believed that apricots are healthier...in some cases...compared to other fruits such as bananas, apples pears and oranges..but the health benefit of apricot is often overlooked in favour of these common fruits.

Dr Mosaraf Ali has written a fantstic book called..Dr Ali's Nutrition Bible...he knows his stuff, he is the UK's leading integrated health specialist. This is what he says about the health benefit of apricot....

'When I spent a few days with a little known tribe in the Himalayas, I wa amazed to see how precious apricots were to them. They believed they gave them longevity (many of the villagers were over 100 years old). The kernel provided fuel for cooking oil, while the flesh of the fruit provided vitamins and minerals (especially zinc and iron) and useful protein. Dried apricots do not attract bacteria because the skin has antibacterial properties, and during the long winter months, dried apricots are a great source of vitamins and minerals. The high fibre content eases bowel movements, and apricot oil has anti-inflammatory properties, both when rubbed into joints or taken internally'

Can Apricots Hold The Key To Curing Cancer?


Finally..Apricots may hold the golden key to curing cancer. Yes it sounds incredible dosen't it? But it really could be possible. Read on....

As we know in the middle of any fresh apricot is a stone. Well inside that stone is a kernel. Apricot kernels are, like most nuts and seeds, very nutritious. Among the nutrients they contain is one called amygdalin,...which is also known as vitamin B17. This attacks cancer cells, thus helping to prevent cancer from breaking out in our bodies.

Amygdalin (vitamin B17) is contained in many hundreds of foods, but ones that are particularly rich in amygdalin have disappeared to a large extent from the Western diet. People throughout the world who still eat a traditional diet, have been found to be largely free from cancer. Yes read that again...largely free from cancer. These diets are rich in foods containing amygdalin.

Learn more about vitamin B17 and just how powerful it is.
