Anti-Cancer Sprouts. Q: I was amazed to read that scientists at Johns Hopkins Universitydiscovered that broccoli sprouts may help prevent cancer. I understand sprout supple. meets may be available in stores by the end of 1998. Should I start eating them? A: A new day has dawned when top scientists in their sophisticated laboratories are turning into gardeners.

One such gardener, Paul Talalay, M.D., from Johns Hopkins, did indeed discover that, at least in lab rodents, three-day old broccoli sprouts offer far more cancer protection than their overgrown relatives (broccoli itself). In fact, the sprouts contain an astonishing 20 to 50 times more of the cancer-preventive chemical glucoraphanin than mature broccoli. Broccoli isn't the only such star in the plant kingdom. Scientists Cure Cancer, But No One Takes Notice. Claim: Researchers have found a simple cure for cancer, but major pharmaceutical companies are not interested.

Asbestos Related Lung Cancer (bronchial carcinoma, adenocarcinoma) - Asbestos Lung Cancer. While much of the focus on cancers caused by asbestos is on mesothelioma (a cancer of the lining of the lung, heart, or abdomen), other thoracic carcinomas, such as adenocarcinoma, are also caused by exposure to asbestos.

Asbestos is estimated to account for 3,400 to 8,500 new lung cancer cases in the United States each year. Like mesothelioma, the latency period between asbestos exposure and the development of asbestos related lung cancer may be two, three, four, or even more decades. Very often, asbestos-related cancer victims also suffer from asbestosis, a scarring of the lung tissue caused by asbestos exposure. Mercola : Several studies have confi... Red Tea or Rooibos Fights Liver Damage, Prevents Cancer and Treats Colic.

(NaturalNews) The herbal tea known as red tea has found its way to health food and specialty food stores recently, but few know much about the source or the health benefits of this plant. Red tea comes from a South African plant called Aspalanthus linearis, and is also known as Redbush, or Kaffree, Rooibus, and Honeybush. Rooibus is not a true tea, in that it doesn't come from the same plant family as black tea, the Camellia sinensis plant, but research has confirmed many health benefits from this tea, including cancer prevention, and as a treatment for nervous tension, allergic dermatitis, and indigestion. Red tea contains anti-oxidants in the form of polyphenols.

CT scans on children 'could triple brain cancer risk'

The Newcastle University-led team examined the NHS medical records of almost 180,000 young patients. But writing in The Lancet the authors emphasised that the benefits of the scans usually outweighed the risks. They said the study underlined the fact the scans should only be used when necessary and that ways of cutting their radiation should be pursued. During a CT (computerised tomography) scan, an X-ray tube rotates around the patient's body to produce detailed images of internal organs and other parts of the body. In the first long-term study of its kind, the researchers looked at the records of patients aged under 21 who had CT scans at a range of British hospitals between 1985 and 2002.

Coke bottles may require cancer warning label if drink ingredients not changed

And according to numerous reports, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, and even Whole Foods are having to alter their soda beverage recipes in order to avoid being required by the state of California to label their products as causing cancer. The cancer-causing chemical in question is 4-methylimidazole, or 4-MI, a byproduct formed during the production of caramel color, an additive commonly used in processed cola beverages. According to the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), caramel color produced using ammonia or ammonia-sulfites creates both 4-MI and 2-MI (2-methylimidazole), which have been shown to be carcinogenic ( CSPI last year petitioned the U.S.

At 26, I am healing myself naturally.” In 2008, when I was 22 years old, I was diagnosed with a rare type of cancer called epithelioid sarcoma in my left hand and arm.

I was living in Sydney at the time and working as the online editor for DOLLY magazine. I was living an ideal life for someone in their early twenties – burning the candle at both ends, paying no attention to how my actions could affect my health, but having a whole lot of fun while I was at it. Everything was going exactly according to my life plan. On the 24th of April, 2008 I went to see my hand surgeon to have a cast removed, following an operation I had to biopsy some lumps that had been popping up all over my left hand and arm. After taking the cast off, my doctor told me the news that would change my life in too many ways to predict. None of this made any sense to me.
