Cannabis Seeds (Graines de Cannabis) And Cancer

   by Barney Freedmanin Health / Cancer    (submitted 2012-05-04)

In terms of illness and debilitating circumstances, to be diagnosed with cancer is something that is altogether jarring. Putting aside, respectfully, all the possible emotions that course the annals of thought and emotion, and the obvious physical discomfort, weakness and pain, there lies a more insidious adversary lurking in seemingly inconsequential areas.

The affliction in itself brings about the unwillingness and at times, the inability, to find the appetite to ingest nourishment. Eating, to put it plainly, becomes a hellish experience. Its not an issue of mental or psychological hindrance, it is instead a chemical and, real physical nausea against food. This is not to be confused with the lack of appetite that is the result of chemotherapy or from the barrage of medicines that are literally designed to escort the body as close to death as possible so that the cancer cells will die first. Its a biological game of chicken, with consequences the rip the person subjected to it, and their families to bits.

Suffice to conclude that the ailment and its eventual treatment are physically, mentally and emotionally are barbarous. Most, who make a decision to accept their lot in life, hang on and resolve to meet their maker, others, mount a battle of wits and strength, fueled by anger and the love of all that breathes. These are the people that very quickly come to realize that the first thing they must do is protect their mind and feed their body. Alternatively, the noble effort to hold on with gritting teeth will not result in martyrdom, just an untimely cessation.

In an effort to live life, in a fight to prolong and thrive the first thing that must be overcome is the inability to remain nourish. This inability is the determinate of how far and how long the human flesh can battle this affliction. The simple answer is to do anything possible to find a way to regain the appetite and chastise the mind to keep in strict check the reflex to retch.

The ancient cultures of China and India have been a source of great medical inspiration. Their collective apothecaries have countless concoctions and remedies that address almost every bum, bruise and illness. In the case of loss of appetite, they may prescribe a number of various herb cocktails and spice blends. In the event of nausea too, they have potions and brews. However, sinseis and shamans from both these cultures seem prescribe a tea that is brewed from the leaf of a cannabis seed (graines de cannabis). This tea, battles two symptoms in one flavorless swoop, the nausea and the loss of appetite, it also releases the pain that may be experienced.

Cannabis Plant Seeds (Hanfsame) Impressions

   by Gaby Lewisin Health / Cancer    (submitted 2012-05-28)

The idea of using cannabis plant seeds as nutrition is similar to using mung beans or kidney beans,, for that matter in providing nutrition. It is one step ahead of the curve when looking for high concentrations of vitamins, minerals and sources of energy. In the cannabis plant seeds, there exists a large amount of enzymes and nutrients that are closely in harmony with the human cellular structure than they are with the anatomy of a cancer swath.

Cannabis plant seeds are usually thought of in passing (en passant) to describe a momentary high and done so in jest. In some cases it is also take in vulgarity when combined with acts of base human instinct. However, the cannabis plant seed is more and it is a pity that the powers that be have decided to take aim at this plant and in so doing doomed its benefit to the human condition.

Here is a rumor afloat that Buddha was a consumer of the cannabis plant seed (hanfsame) during his path to enlightenment. This claim may or may not be true as the evidence remains illusive and inconclusive at best, bu the fact that shamans had already discovered its users is at the it is indisputable. As far as religions acts are concerned the seed (hanfsame) has been available and use therapeutically, medically and spiritually for centuries.

The problem with it is probably that the use of it and the cultivation of it is so simple and so easy that almost anyone can cultivate it and two things happen. The first is that more complicated and expensive cancer treatments and protocols will be deemed useless and thus billions in losses will accrue the those concerned. Second, those trying to make it in the black market for illicit purposes are able to sell it at a higher price.

The issue then becomes not about the plant or the seed; not about the effects of the chemistry but about the bias that has become mainstream. For instance, tobacco is much more addictive and more carcinogenic compared to inhaling cannabis, yet, it is freely sold anywhere, everywhere, and at any time. How does this make sense? A person smoking a stick of cigarette is more likely to become addicted than they are to be addicted to the plant resulting from the seed (hansfam). With this in mind, evaluate the health benefits as well as the long term benefits before falling for the stories, hook, line and sinker.

Gliomas In The United Kingdom

   by Barney Freedmanin Health / Cancer    (submitted 2012-04-24)

According to the Private Healthcare UK site, Glioma is a common brain tumour that is found within the glial cells. Glial cells are cells found in the brain but are not neural cells. The main function is to maintain homeostasis and support the more critical functions of the neurons. There are about as many neurons as there are glials in the brain.

By playing a supporting role, glial cells promote the critical functions of neurons. Neurons are, off course the main actors of the brain function. The glial cells control the environment that these actors perform their functions. Glial cells especially regulate the liquid cushion and nutrition bank that feeds the neurons. In essence it supports and promotes neurons. When the glial cells are damaged or otherwise inhibited, the particular neuron they support will be compromised.

In the UK it has been seen that gliomas are the most common forms of brain cancer. The problem with gliomas is that it invades the cells that support critical functions of the entire body when it affects the glials. There are a number of ways to rectify the situation but what is available in the UK is basically the same western medicine. First surgery, followed by either radiation or chemotherapy. There are numerous problems with this. First, Surgery needs to be laser-precise. It needs to be so accurate that when large areas of affected gliomas are removes, the glials and their neurons are not extricated as well. But this is not necessary feasible, there is definite destruction of some glials and the risk of significant damage is very real.

As the surgery is completed, with some glials destroyed and some gliomas untouched, the physicians move on to the next phase whereby they assault the glioma with either radiation or chemotherapy. The problem with either of these courses of action is that it wrks in eliminating all cells, not just the invading cancer cells but also the healthy glial cells and the healthy neurons. The western answer to glioma is grossly inaccurate and highly crude in its execution.

However, there is a response and a resolution to fighting gliomas in the UK. This is the use of natural substances. One such substance that has been part of the ayurvedic course of treatment in the UK came from India during colonial times. Its prevalence in the UK is inhibited by unclear regulations but it is nonetheless receiving favourable responses. It is the use of marijuana seeds in targeting gliomas.

The consumption of the seed in grain form is not to be confused with inhaling the smoke. It has nothing to do with that. It is purely to consume the seed and has no intoxicating effects, but the active ingredient naturally targets the gliomas and annihilates it.

Cannabis (Hanfsame) Plant Seeds

There are certain taboos that go along with the use of certain contrabands. Contrabands in certain countries, while not being prohibited in others do end up carrying a stigma because of the prevalence of Hollywood in the mindshare of the globe's population. In Germany, this is the same. The collective German mindset is one that has little tolerance to anything immoral and unlawful. The idea being medical marijuana use or cannabis (hanfsame) use then is was initially suspect. However as time and attitudes advanced, changed and evolved, it has become quite common for medical usage in this area.
A simple reference would be the use of mind altering substances in western hospitals to relieve pain. However, the use of any cannabis (hanfsame) or marijuana products to elevate pain is only the beginning of its uses. It is not the apex and using it as merely a pain relief is grossly underutilizing this natural remedy. The usage in current medical practice is to just reduce pain. However in eastern philosophies it has been used as more than that.
In India for example, it has been traced back to the Indus Valley Civilizations, some six thousand years ago that these plants like cannabis (hanfsame) sativa that come from marijuana seeds, presented tremendous benefits to cancer patients. The benefits were not just in terms of discomfort relief, but also to shrink the tumors.
Cancer is basically an aggressive cell type structure that is voracious inits appetite. It goes about multiplying and feeding on the nutrients that otherwise would reach the host's cells. One of the things that feeds it is glucose. Those with high sugar intake habits, tend to feed the malignant cells and result in the tumor to grow rapidly.
However, when marijuana seeds or are introduced to the diet, the chemistry attacks the tumor and causes the growth to stop first, then subsequently it causes the tumor to implode. The chemistry of the marijuana seed is one that allows for the body's healthy cells to remain intact and healthy. There has been no evidence of destruction or unwarranted effects on the healthy cells and even the effects of mind alteration have been over emphasized.
The efforts to negatively promote the cannabis (hanfsame) seed has been in play for sometime now and it has resulted in a a misunderstood source of healing. While it is possible that many misuse the natural ingredient, it is not unheard of where western chemistry-based medications have also been misused. In fact, even light fluid is misused these days, but it has not been pulled of the market. However, before one with cancer declines marijuana seeds as therapy for fear of the taboo, do think again.

Managing Cancer Treatments

   by Barney Freedmanin Health / Cancer    (submitted 2012-02-19)

Being diagnosed with cancer might be one of the most emotionally draining experiences you might ever have. However, various treatment methods are available today and more are on the path to being developed. The choice of a particular method among the various cancer treatments will depend on a number of factors. The stage and extent to which the tumor has spread in addition to individual needs will define a particular course of treatment.

Cancer treatments may have various goals depending on your condition. They might be given to cure the disease, control the tumor or take some of the burden of the many symptoms you might be experiencing. It is good to have an understanding of the various treatment methods, drugs which have to take and their possible side effects.

Biological as well hormonal therapies are common among cancer treatments. Biological therapies make use of natural substances found in your body which have the ability to fight cancer. These substances which include antibodies are found to destroy malignant cells. The treatment procedure might make use of gene therapy and vaccines as well. Hormonal therapies impart various hormones present in your body with abilities to battle against the threatening cells.

Surgery is also one of the common procedures in cancer treatments. Surgery is used usually in the case of small tumours so that they are completely removed. This will prevent any possibility of the disease overpowering other parts of your body. Surgical procedures are also used to determine the extent to which a cancer has spread. They may also be done with an aim to control the spread of a cancer. Stem cell therapies as well as bone marrow transplants are also employed where they are found to be of use.

Chemotherapy and radiation are perhaps the best known among the various cancer treatments. Chemotherapy makes use of drugs to destroy malignant cells. Sometimes, combinations of two or more drugs are used rather than a single drug. One of the most important concerns in this type of a treatment is that the strong drugs are also a threat to your healthy cells. Radiation therapy makes use of high energy radiation to destroy cancer cells and reduce the size of tumors. Radiation can be given either externally or internally.

Certain supportive therapies may be administered in addition to the main cancer treatments you might be given. These are meant to alleviate the symptoms as well as take you towards a path of recovery.

Cervical Cancer Survival Rate and Life Expectancy

   by Caren Leein Health / Cancer    (submitted 2012-01-11)

Cervical cancer survival rate plays a deciding role in recommending a certain format of treatment for a victim. Cervical cancer life expectancy is very important to decide on a proper post-treatment care pattern so that the victim gets advantage of fast mental and physical recovery. This cancer is a disease that grows very gradually and takes time to progress from lower to higher stages. Thus, understanding survival rate and life expectancy can be of immense help to victims.

Cervical Survival Rate and Life Expectancy- A Detailed Overview

Cancer is a malignant disorder that develops in the cervix and may also affect areas adjacent to it in due period. The disease usually metastasizes late and the victim has very high scope of excellent this cancer survival rate if proper and timely cervical cancer treatment is undergone. Caner of cervix basically develops in the tissues and cells present on the surface and are mostly of squamous cell carcinoma type. Most cases of cervical belong to primary form though, secondary type of the disorder may also occur in a few cases.
People suffering from secondary cervix cancer usually have a low survival rate as compared to those suffering from the primary one. Also, this cancer diagnosis method to be adopted for secondary form may vary from the primary one. Secondary cancer is more severe because of the presence of tumors in other parts of the body before they reach cervix. This decreases overall ability of the victim to fight cancerous infection effectively and allows tumors to grow more freely.

Cervix cancer occurs only in women and is the biggest cause of cancer-death in USA (United States of America). Cervix cancer is third-most general form of cancerous development occurring in females and the numbers of cases stand next only to lung and breast cancer. Cervix cancer may metastasize in late stages and infect vital organs like uterus, vagina, abdominal areas or even lungs if the tumors metastasize rapidly.

Cervix cancer life expectancy depends on various factors like age, location, race, and medical history. The disease is highly common in adult women and occurs rarely in teenagers. HPV (Human Papillomavirus) is a proved major cause of the disorder and is caused mainly due to unsafe or improper sex practices. HPV vaccine helps to curb chances of tumor growth in the cervical areas to a major extent.

People residing in developing countries are more likely to be infected by cancer of cervix as compared to those living in developed regions. Undergoing PAP (Papanicolaou) smear test regularly helps to prevent cervical recurrence or occurrence to a great extent and is one of the prime reasons behind considerable decline in the numbers of cervical cancer cases and cancer-deaths in advanced nations. Also, the disorder is more common in black women as compared to white ones. Hence, cervical cancer life expectancy is higher in white people as compared to black ones.

This cancer survival rate is around 95% for the first stage while it is around 75-90% for the second stage. People suffering from the third stage of the disorder show cervical cancer life expectancy of around 50% while the rate dips to less than 12% in the last or fourth stage.

Cervical survival rate should be considered as a deciding element for further diagnosis and treatment. Cervix cancer life expectancy also helps the victim to be clearer with the consequences of continuing with faulty lifestyle patterns and motivates her to undergo necessary changes in personal habits.
