Health / What Is Stroke? by claratimoh: 11:29pm On Jun 10, 2016 |
[8:41PM, 10/06/2016] Mr Bethel Swissgarde: What is stroke? stroke is a disease that affect the arteries leading to and within the brain. It is the no. 5 cause of death in united state. [8:41PM, 10/06/2016] Mr Bethel Swissgarde: Types of stroke; stroke can be caused either by a colt obstructing the flow of blood to the brain called an Ischaemic stroke or by blood vessel rupturing and preventing blood flow to the brain called a Hemorrhagic stroke. [8:41PM, 10/06/2016] Mr Bethel Swissgarde: A stroke occurs when a blood vessel that carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain is either blocked by a cloth, bursts or ruptures. When that happens part of the brain cannot get blood and oxygen it need, so it and the brain cell die. [8:41PM, 10/06/2016] Mr Bethel Swissgarde: The effect of stroke; the brain is an extremely complex organ that controls various body functions. If a stroke occurs and blood flow can't reach the region that controls a particular body function that part if the body won't work as it should [8:41PM, 10/06/2016] Mr Bethel Swissgarde: Stroke risk factors can be changed, treat or controlled. 1. High blood pressure is the leading cause if stroke and the most important controllable risk factor for stroke. Many people believe the effective treatment of high blood pressure is a key reason for the accelerated decline in the death rates for stroke. 2. Cigarette smoking in recent years studies have shown cigarette smoking to be an important risk factor for stroke. The nicotine and carbon monoxide in cigarette smoke damage the cardiovascular system in many ways. 3. Diabetes mellitus is an independent factor for stroke. Many people with diabetes also have high blood pressure, high blood pressure cholesterol and are overweight. This increases their risk even more. While diabetes is treatable the presence of diabetes still increases your risk of stroke. [8:41PM, 10/06/2016] Mr Bethel Swissgarde: RISK FACTORS FOR STROKE 1. Age the chance of having a stroke approximately double for each decade of life after age 55. While stroke is common among the elderly, a lot of people under 65 also have stroke. 2. Hereditary (family history) your stroke risk is greater if a parents, grandpa, sister or brother has had a stroke. Some stroke maybe symptoms of genetic disorders like CADASIL most individual with CADSIL have a family history of the disorder, each child of CADSIL parents has a 50% chance of inheriting the disease. 3. Sex( gender) stroke is more common in men than in women. In most age group more men than women will have a stroke in given year. However more than half of total stroke death occur in women at all ages, more women than men die of stroke. Use of birth control pills and pregnancy pose special stroke risk for women. [8:41PM, 10/06/2016] Mr Bethel Swissgarde: Poor Diet- high saturated fat, trans fat and cholesterol can raise blood cholesterol level. Diet high in sodium (salt) can contribute to increased blood pressure. Diets with excess calories can contribute to obesity. A diet containing five or more serving of fruits and vegetables per day may reduce the risk of stroke.I recommend swissgarde A$R,cal c mag,omega plus and Aloepower for those suffering from stoke. 07062162335 |
Health / Varicose Veins by claratimoh: 11:08pm On Jun 10, 2016 |
VARICOSE VEINS Varicose veins, also known as varicoses or varicosities, occur when your veins become enlarged, dilated, and overfilled with blood. Varicose veins are often painful and have a bluish-purple or red color. Often, varicose veins appear swollen and raised.The condition is very common, especially in women. Half of all Americans over the age of 50 have varicose veins. In most cases, varicose veins appear on the lower legs CAUSES OF VARICOSE VEINS Varicose veins occur when your vein isn’t functioning properly. Veins have one-way valves that prevent blood from flowing backwards. When these valves fail, blood begins to collect in the vein rather than continuing toward your heart. Varicose veins often affect the legs because they are the farthest from the heart and gravity makes it harder for the blood to flow upward. Some potential causes for varicose veins include: - chronic heart valve conditions, which are usually congenital - pregnancy - menopause - standing for long periods of time - pressure on the midsection of the body, especially the abdomen - obesity, which adds weight to the body and increases the pressure on the legs SYMPTOMS OF VARICOSE VEINS The primary symptom of varicose veins is highly visible, misshapen veins, usually on the legs. You may also have pain, swelling, heaviness, and aches in the legs.In some cases, you can have swelling, discoloration, or ulcers around your ankles, too. DIAGNOSING VARICOSE VEINS Your doctor will likely examine your legs and visible veins while you’re sitting or standing to diagnose varicose veins. They may ask you about any pain or symptoms you’re having.Your doctor may also want to do an ultrasound to check your blood flow. This is a non-invasive test that uses high-frequency sound waves. It allows your doctor to see how the blood is flowing in your veins.Less commonly, an angiogram may be used to further assess your veins. During the angiogram, your doctor injects a special dye into your legs and X-rays are taken of the area. The dye appears on the X-rays, giving your doctor a better view of how your blood is flowing.Tests such as an ultrasound or angiogram help ensure that another disorder like a blood clot or a blockage is not causing the pain and swelling in your legs. [8:59AM, 10/06/2016] +234 802 526 6908: NATURAL REMEDIES FOR VARICOSE VEINS - Lifestyle Remedies for Varicose Veins - Do not sit or stand for longer periods at a stretch. If your work demands so, take breaks after every 30 minutes. Change your position, walk a little, stretch or stand for a while. Just don’t be in a same position for longer. If you sit for longer, try to keep your legs elevated by using a stool or another chair. - Don’t sit with crossed legs or crossed ankles. - Keep your legs elevated even when you lie down or sleep. - Avoid wearing high heels. - Avoid wearing tight clothes, especially those that may cut your blood circulation around your waist legs and groin area. - Exercise regularly. Cardiovascular exercises and strength training all are beneficial for you. Walking too improves your blood circulation. - Lose weight. Being overweight is one of the major causes of varicose veins. - Have a balanced diet. Include more fiber in your meals. Fruits and vegetables high in antioxidants are good for you. - Avoid alcohol as it dilates blood vessels making your varicose veins condition worse. - Quit smoking as it doesn’t keeps your blood circulation healthy. Herbal Remedies for Varicose Veins - GRAPE SEED If you eat the delicious grapes and throw away the seeds from it, think again, more so if you have varicose veins. Loaded with vitamin E, flavonoids, linoleic acid, and the antioxidants oligomeric proanthocyanidin complexes (OPCs), grape seeds can get you rid of varicose veins. These compounds are also there in the skin of the grape but in very low concentration. OPCs in grape seeds seem to strengthen the connective tissue structure of blood vessels which leads to reduced inflammation. They protect capillaries, veins and even arteries from free radical damage along with enhancing the performance of vitamin C which is essential for collagen formation. They also increase the tone and elasticity of capillary walls. This makes capillary walls more resistant to hemorrhages, ruptures and infection. - MARIGOLD Marigold (Calendula officinalis) contains flavonoids as well as triterpenes both of which are beneficial in treating varicose veins. Triterpenes is the same component which is also present in gotu kola, another herb for varicose veins. It improves the tone of veins making them less susceptible to degeneration. Marigold has been used in folk medicine for its various qualities including anti-inflammation, bleeding control and as a healing agent for damaged tissue. For these properties, marigold is also recommended to cure pain and swelling due to varicose veins. Prolonged use of this herb may actually get you rid of varicose veins completely. - APPLE CIDER VINEGAR Apple cider vinegar (ACV) can be called a magical liquid that can cure a number of diseases including all types of pains, swelling, heartburn and even varicose veins. ACV improves blood circulation in which process it rules out the bulging and swelling of veins. You also get rid of pain when you use this apple cider vinegar remedy for varicose veins. Good News: Defender caps contains Grape seeds. Eyebrite contains Marigold. Super Cider contains both Apple pectin & Cider Vinegar I recommend Super Cider, Eyebrite & Defender capsules. Omega plus also improves blood circulation & prevents blood clotting in Vericose vein sufferers.07062162335 |

Health / Men Most Read This by claratimoh: 11:21am On May 22, 2016 |
MEN YOU NEED TO READ THIS! Nature protects little boys & young men (from cradle to pre -andropause) from Belign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH) or Prostate Enlargement by virtue of a brand new toxic free bladder & urethra. But after age 40 and above and if men live long enough, men become predisposed to prostate problems like prostate enlargement by virtue of toxic build up in the bladder & walls of the urethra or for reasons that may be hormonal, the prostate gland begins to enlarge. From 20 grams it may grow to almost 100 grams. As it enlarges, it squeezes the urethra and the man begins to notice changes in the way he urinates. Foods that are rich in zinc are also good for men. We recommend pumpkin seeds (ugbogulu). Zinc is about the most essential element for male sexuality and fertility. Men need more zinc than women. Every time a man ejaculates he loses 15mg of zinc. Recommended products: Swissgarde 40 plus for men contains Saw palmetto, Pumpkin seed & Zinc.07062162335 |

Health / Hormonal Balances And Your Fertility by claratimoh: 12:06am On May 20, 2016 |
[9:12AM, 02/05/2016] Aunty Becky: Hormone Balance or levels can be influenced by the following: 1. Stress 2. Fluid changes in the body, 3. Vitamin and mineral levels 4. Infection 5. Exposure to environmental toxins. 6. Amount of body fat we have Each endocrine gland plays a specific role in the ability of our body to maintain proper function. Each endocrine gland also communicates with the other in an amazing design. If one of the endocrine glands is not functioning properly, it may cause a broken link in communication with other endocrine glands or actions of the body, which may greatly impair fertility. Because the endocrine glands secrete hormones, and the hormones are messengers for actions within the body, if the gland is not functioning properly, hormonal imbalance occurs and the ability to reproduce may be impaired. [9:12AM, 02/05/2016] Aunty Becky: HORMONAL BALANCE & YOUR FERTILITY Hormonal balance is necessary to get pregnant, carry to term and have a healthy baby. What exactly are hormones? Hormones are cell messengers coordinated by the endocrine system. Without proper endocrine function, our bodies cannot maintain proper hormonal balance. Our cells are genetically programmed to only receive and respond to messages from certain hormones. Each cell in the body contains hormone receptor cites. Once a hormone fits into a cell’s receptor, it gives the cell instructions. This is similar to a key fitting in a lock. Hormones control our bodily processes. [9:12AM, 02/05/2016] Aunty Becky: HORMONES IMPORTANT FOR REPRODUCTIVE FUNCTION There are key hormones that directly affect fertility health in both men and women. IMPORTANT HORMONES IN WOMEN OF CHILDBEARING AGE: 1. ESTROGEN or Estradiol is produced primarily by the follicles and corpus luteum (remnant egg sac) in the ovaries. This estrogen is the most potent and abundant. Estrogen is essential for healthy bone formation, healthy gene expression, maintaining healthy cholesterol levels, and formation of secondary sexual characteristics (pubic hair, breasts, etc). Estradiol is vital for a healthy menstrual cycle. 2. PROGESTERONE Progesterone is needed for healthy libido, bone formation and proper blood clotting. Progesterone is produced by the corpus luteum in the ovaries and by the adrenal glands. Progesterone is one of the main hormones in helping to regulate the menstrual cycle. It works to balance the effects of estrogen. Progesterone also signals the release of insulin, playing a role in a person’s susceptibility for diabetes or insulin resistant PCOS. Adequate levels of progesterone are vital for proper fallopian tube function. Almost all of your other hormones are made from progesterone. Progesterone is vital for conception and maintaining pregnancy. One of the main actions of progesterone is to help support a developing embryo. During pregnancy the placenta produces progesterone to help sustain the developing baby 3. LUTEINIZING HORMONE (LH) This hormone is produced in the anterior pituitary gland. LH surge is responsible for triggering ovulation and development of the corpus luteum. LH works synergistically with FSH. It stimulates specific cells to produce testosterone. 4. FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE (FSH) This hormone is also released and synthesized by the anterior pituitary gland. It regulates the body’s development, growth and maturation. It also regulates reproductive processes. FSH works alongside with LH. FSH signals some of the follicles in the ovary to begin maturing in preparation for ovulation. 5. CORTISOL Cortisol is produced by the adrenal glands, but it is controlled by the hypothalamus. Its primary function is to increase blood sugar, aid in fat, protein and carbohydrate metabolism and suppress the immune system. Cortisol is released in response to stress. 6. ANDROGENS DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone):DHEA is a precursor to testosterone and estrogens. This means that those hormones are made from it. DHEA is necessary for protein building and repair. It is made by the adrenal glands. DHEA levels decline dramatically as we age. 7. TESTOSTERONE Testosterone in women is in much lower amounts than in men. It helps to support a healthy sex drive and build bones. [9:12AM, 02/05/2016] Aunty Becky: Herbal & Natural Remedies for Hormonal Balance includes: 1. Dong Quai 2. Maca 3. Hot Goat weed 4. Borage seed oil 5. Evening Primrose oil 6. Gelatin 7. Ginger 8. Selenium 9. Green Tea 10. Honey Good News: Swissgarde 40 plus for women contains Dong quai. Rev up contains Hot Goat weed & Maca root. Omega plus contains Borage seed oil & Evening Primrose Oils. Skin Hair & Nails contains Gelatine. Defender contains Selenium. Aloe power contains Green Tea. Buchu power contains Ginger, Royal Jelly contains Honey. I recommend 40 plus for women, Rev up, Omega plus, Skin Hair & Nails, Aloe power, Defender, Buchu power and Royal Jelly for Hormonal balancing & your fertility. [9:12AM, 02/05/2016] Aunty Becky: SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS of HORMONAL IMBALANCE Symptoms of hormonal imbalance can be a blessing. This is because they are the body’s signal that something needs to be changed SYMPTOMS OF HORMONAL IMBALANCE IN WOMEN Breast tenderness PMS - Insomnia - Unexplained weight gain - Headache/Migraine - Anxiety - Depression - Vaginal dryness - Foggy thinking - Lethargy - Hot flashes - Cold hands and feet - Mood swings - Thinning hair - Facial or body hair - Thin or dry skin - Acne - Intolerance to heat or cold - - Sluggish metabolism - Fat gain around stomach area - Allergy symptoms; hives, asthma - Decreased sex drive - Irregular periods - PCOS - Infertility - Increased blood clotting - Recurrent miscarriage - Not ovulating - Breast swelling - Water retention - Incontinence - Heart palpitations - Obesity - Bloating - Rapid heartbeat - Poor egg health - Premature Ovarian Failure - Fluid discharge from breasts - Cravings for carbs, sugar, salt later in day - Frequent illness/long recovery time - Caffeine dependence |
Health / Prostrate Cancer by claratimoh: 1:25pm On May 18, 2016 |
MEN - MY CHILDHOOD; MY MANHOOD; MY PROSTATE.. MUST READ!! Ladies and Gentlemen I am here to speak with you on Prostate. The topic is misleading. Is prostate strictly for men? Yes, ONLY men have prostate and ONLY men over 40years but the healthcare enlightenment is for everyone. There is no woman who does not know a man 40 years and above – father, uncle, brother, son, friend, neighbor, colleague … Essentially what I will be doing today is health promotion. Responsible health promotion must provide three things: 1. Information 2. Reassurance 3. A plan of action. Let me start with a background on prostate health. Everyone has a pair of kidneys. The job of the kidney is to remove waste. It is the LAWMA (waste management company) of your body. Everyday your blood passes through the kidney several times to be filtered. As the blood is filtered, urine is formed and stored in a temporary storage tank called the urinary bladder. If there were to be no urinary bladder, as a man walks on the road, urine will be dropping. Now think of the plumbing work in your house. Think of the urinary bladder as the overhead storage tank. From the storage tank, a good plumber will run pipes to other parts of the house, including the kitchen. God in His wisdom ran pipes from our urinary bladder to the tip of the penis. The pipe is called the urethra. Just below the bladder and surrounding the urethra is a little organ called the prostate gland. The prostate gland is the size of a walnut and weighs about 20grams. Its job is to make the seminal fluid which is stored in the seminal vesicle. During sexual intercourse, seminal fluid comes down the urethra and mixes with the sperms produced in the testicles to form the semen. So semen technically is not sperm. It is sperm + seminal fluid. The seminal fluid lubricates the sperm. After age 40, for reasons that may be hormonal, the prostate gland begins to enlarge. From 20 grams it may grow to almost 100 grams. As it enlarges, it squeezes the urethra and the man begins to notice changes in the way he urinate. If you have a son under 10, if he has a little mischief like we all did at that age, when he comes out to urinate, he can target the ceiling and the jet will hit target. Call his father to do same, wahala dey. His urine stream is weak, cannot travel a long distance and sometimes may come straight down on his legs. So he may need to stand in awkward position to urinate. Not many men will be worried their urine stream cannot hit the ceiling. Toilets are on the floor and not on the ceiling. But other symptoms begin to show. TERMINAL DRIPPLING: The man begins to notice that after urinating and repacking, urine still drops on his pants. This is the reason why after an older man urinates, he has to ring bell. A younger man simply delivers to the last drop and walks away. Just see an older man coming from the bathroom. Sometimes he may clutch the newspaper closely to hide the urine stains, particularly on plain colored trousers. HESISTANCY At this point you wait longer for the urine flow to start. There are 2 valves that must open for you to urinate – the internal and external sphincters. Both open but because of obstructions in the urethra, you wait long for the flow to start. INCOMPLETE EMPTYING You have this feeling immediately after urinating that there is still something left. As all these things happen, the bladder begins to work harder to compensate for the obstruction in the urethra. The frequency of urination goes up. Urgency sets in. sometimes you have to practically run into the toilet. Nocturia also becomes common. You wake up more than 2 times at night to urinate. Your wife begins to complain. Men being men may not talk to anyone even at this point. Then the more serious complications start. Stored urine gets infected and there may be burning sensation when urinating. Stored urine forms crystals. Crystals come together to form stone either in the bladder or in the kidney. Stones may block the urethra. Chronic urinary retention sets in. The bladder stores more and more urine. The size of the bladder is 40 - 60 cl. A bottle of coke is 50cl. As the bladder stores more urine it can enlarge up to 300cl. An overfilled bladder may leak and this leads to wetting / urinary incontinence. Also the volume may put pressure on the kidney and may lead to kidney damage. What may likely bring the man to hospital is acute urinary retention. He wakes up one day and he is not able to pass urine. Everything I have described above is associated with prostate enlargement, technically called benign prostate hyperplasia. There are other diseases of the prostate like: 1. Prostatitis – inflammation of the prostate 2. Prostate cancer – cancer of the prostate. This discussion is on prostate enlargement. I have bad news and good news. The bad news is that everyman will have prostate enlargement if he lives long enough. The good news is that there are life style changes that can help the man after 40 to maintain optimum prostate health. Nutrition Look at what you eat. 33% of all cancers, according to the US National Cancer Institute is related to what we eat. Red meat everyday triples your chances of prostate disease. Milk everyday doubles your risk. Not taking fruits / vegetables daily quadruples your risk. Tomatoes are very good for men. If that is the only thing your wife can present in the evening, eat it with joy. It has loads of lycopene. Lycopene is the most potent natural antioxidant. Foods that are rich in zinc are also good for men. We recommend pumpkin seeds (ugbogulu). Zinc is about the most essential element for male sexuality and fertility. Men need more zinc than women. Every time a man ejaculates he loses 15mg of zinc. Zinc is also important for alcohol metabolism. Your liver needs zinc to metabolize alcohol. ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION As men begin to have urinary symptoms associated with prostate enlargement, it is important they look at alcohol consumption. More fluid in means more fluid out. Drink less. Drink slowly. EXERCISE Exercise helps build the muscle tone. Every man should exercise. Men over 40 should avoid high impact exercise like jogging. It puts pressure on the knees. Cycling is bad news for the prostate. We recommend brisk walking. SITTING When we sit, two-third of our weight rests on the pelvic bones. Men who sit longer are more prone to prostate symptoms. Do not sit for long hours. Walk around as often as you can. Sit on comfortable chairs. We recommend a divided saddle chair if you must sit long hours. DRESSING Men should avoid tight underwear. It impacts circulation around the groin and heats it up a bit. While the physiological temperature is 37 degrees, the groin has an optimal temperature of about 33 degrees. Pant is a no - no for men. Wear boxers. Wear breathable clothing. SMOKING Avoid smoking. It affects blood vessels and impact circulation around the groin. SEX Regular sex is good for the prostate. Celibates are more prone to prostate illness. While celibacy is a moral decision, it is not a biological adaptation. Your prostate gland is designed to empty its contents regularly. Thought: when someoneb shared something of value with you and benefit from it. You have a moral obligation to share it with others because someone in your friends list might be saved Swissgarde 40+for men Buchu power, defender ,Omega plus will prevent nd manage prostate cancer. |
Health / Natural Remedies Of Toothache by claratimoh: 1:18pm On May 18, 2016 |
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF A TOOTHACHE Toothaches are characterized by deep and sharp throbbing sensations in a tooth, as well as extreme tooth sensitivity. Practising a daily routing of brushing and flossing, as well as regularly visiting the dentist (at least twice a year) are effective ways to prevent such toothaches. However, if pain does occur, you can try some of the home remedies below to get some relief. You should also always see your dentist when a toothache occurs, even if the pain goes away, since there is always the risk of losing a tooth if the infection penetrates deep into the root. CAUSES OF A TOOTHACHE Most toothaches are due to a build up of bacteria and decay in the mouth, which eventually penetrate the tooth's tissue (also called the pulp, which is located at the center of the tooth). This results in inflammation, which leads to pressure and pain. Other common causes of toothaches are gum disease, restorative dental work, and tooth fractures. Home Remedies and Natural Treatments for Toothache GARLIC CLOVES Garlic clove is a fantastic pain reliever for toothaches. Simply add a few drops of garlic oil directly onto the tooth, cavity, or crack for some fast relief. WARM SALT WATER Swishing warm salt water can help to reduce toothache pain. Simply mix 2-3 teaspoons of salt into a warm glass of water and use it as a mouthwash. The salt will help clean the area around the infected tooth, and will help draw out some of the fluids that are causing the swelling and pain. TEA TREE OIL A simple mouthwash using Tea Tree Oil can help provide toothache relief. Simply add a few drops of tea tree oil to a glass of water and use it as a mouth rinse, and be careful not to swallow. The tea tree oil will penetrate into the gums and de-sensitize the nerves of the tooth that is causing the ache. CINNAMON AND HONEY A simple paste made with cinnamon and honey can help provide toothache relief. Mix one teaspoon of cinnamon powder with 5 teaspoons of honey, then apply a small amount of this paste directly onto the aching tooth. Store the remainder in a small container at room temperature. Continue to apply a small amount to the aching tooth 2 or 3 times per day until the pain is relieved. BLACK SEED OIL Black Seed Oil has been found to be very effective at treating toothaches. To alleviate the soreness and pain, simply rub a small amount of the oil on the affected gum and tooth, and repeat for 15 seconds. You can also mix a half teaspoon of Black Seed Oil in a small glass of warm water, and gargle with it. GREEN TEA The active ingredients in Green Tea can help treat infections and reduce inflammation. Therefore, a simple remedy for toothaches is to drink two cups of Green Tea daily while symptoms are present. Good News: Swissgarde Tea tree oil mouth wash contains Tea tree oil & Echinacea. Defender & Omega plus contains Garlic Oil. Cal C Mag contains Vitamin C. Aloe power contains Green tea. I recommend Tea tree oil mouth wash, Cal C Mag and Defender for toothache remedy instead of tooth extraction. |
Health / Natural Remedies For Breast Cancer by claratimoh: 12:37am On May 17, 2016 |
NATURAL REMEDIES FOR BREAST CANCER GARLIC: It is well known that garlic has certain antibiotic properties which can be used to get rid of various infectious agents like bacteria, yeast, and fungi. According to the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM), presence of alkyl sulphur compounds makes it a very good anti-cancer agent. It does so by causing the malignant cells to undergo natural cell death, also known as apoptosis. It also plays an important role in activating the immune cells against cancerous cells. It is always better to eat garlic in raw form as an oil, clove or powdered substance, rather than consuming it in a cooked form. BROCCOLI: Broccoli contains the linamarase gene that when present inside cancer cells can breakdown into cyanide and effectively kill tumorous cells. GRAPES: Grapes contain a compound called proanthocyanidins that reduces the body’s estrogen production. This results in the effective treatment of breast cancer, as is evident from the clinical trials performed over several breast cancer patients. The study showed that the extract of grapes affects breast cancer tumors that are hormone-sensitive. A drug called doxorubicin was also found to enhance its anti-tumor activity by consuming grapes juice or extract everyday as a supplemental treatment. SOYBEAN: This is one of the known dietary elements that are considered to be an absolute must for breast cancer patients. According to the MD Anderson Cancer Center, it contains phytoestrogens and several other entities that block cancerous cells from using estrogen. It also contains isoflavones needed for the prevention of cancer at early stages. It can be taken either as sprouts or as a cooked vegetable. OLIVE OIL: Olive oil is known for its health benefits. It also reduces risk of cancer.Recent research study suggests that hydroxytyrosol, a major component of olive oil may help prevent breast cancer in postmenopausal women. CALCIUM: It is important to consume calcium, especially in the pre-menopausal period for women. It has been shown to reduce breast cancer risk in a number of different studies. Foods rich in calcium are canned salmon, orange juice, almonds and green vegetables. WHEAT GRASS: This widely praised type of health grass is known to be advantageous to cancer patients. Wheatgrass, when taken in the form of juice or raw is shown to regress cancer cells’ growth as demonstrated by the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Centre. It has the ability to enhance the immune system, and rids your body of toxins and waste products. GREEN TEA: Prepare herbal green tea by boiling some amount of tea leaves in a glass of water till it reduces to half. This has anti-inflammatory properties and is very effective against breast cancer formation. LIGNANS: Lignans are present in the seeds of sunflower, cashews, strawberries, flaxseed, and peanuts. These compounds prevent estrogen-dependent tumors by slowing down their rate of growth and progression. Any of these items can be incorporated in the daily diet chart and should be used as frequently as possible. VITAMIN D: Vitamin D intake has been associated with a lower risk of breast cancer. This can be found in milk, eggs, and COD LIVER OIL, but not in cheese and yogurt. Others remedies include: Echinacea, Cod liver oil, Fish oil, Bee pollen, Selenium, Vitamin C, Tumeric, Dandelion, Ginger, Aloe Vera, Sutherlandia, Ginseng GOOD NEWS: Swissgarde Defender capsules contains Garlic, Grape seed extract & Selenium. Omega plus contains Fish oil, Garlic oil & Olive oil. Aloe power contains Green Tea, Ginseng, Sutherlandia, Aloe Vera & Vitamin C. Double power contains Ginseng. Day Time Tea contains Green Tea & Ginseng. Cal C Mag contains Calcium & Vitamin D. 40 plus for men & women contains Soy protein. Buchu power contains Dandelion, Tumeric & Ginger. Body detox tea contains Ginger. Immune Booster contains Echinacea, Vitamin C & Cod liver oil. Royal Jelly contains Bee pollen. Super Cider contains Bee pollen. I recommend a combination of 4 or 5 of these 10 supplements for stages 1 to 3 Cancer.

[9:27AM, 03/05/2016] Aunty Becky: STAGE 0 Stage 0 is used to describe non-invasive breast cancers, such as DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ). In stage 0, there is no evidence of cancer cells or non-cancerous abnormal cells breaking out of the part of the breast in which they started, or getting through to or invading neighboring normal tissue. STAGE I Stage I describes invasive breast cancer (cancer cells are breaking through to or invading normal surrounding breast tissue) Stage I is divided into subcategories known as IA and IB. Stage IA describes invasive breast cancer in which: the tumor measures up to 2 centimeters ANDthe cancer has not spread outside the breast; no lymph nodes are involved Stage IB describes invasive breast cancer in which: there is no tumor in the breast; instead, small groups of cancer cells – larger than 0.2 millimeter but not larger than 2 millimeters – are found in the lymph nodes OR there is a tumor in the breast that is no larger than 2 centimeters, and there are small groups of cancer cells – larger than 0.2 millimeter but not larger than 2 millimeters – in the lymph nodes. Microscopic invasion is possible in stage I breast cancer. In microscopic invasion, the cancer cells have just started to invade the tissue outside the lining of the duct or lobule, but the invading cancer cells can't measure more than 1 millimeter. STAGE II Stage II is divided into subcategories known as IIA and IIB. Stage IIA describes invasive breast cancer in which:no tumor can be found in the breast, but cancer (larger than 2 millimeters) is found in 1 to 3 axillary lymph nodes (the lymph nodes under the arm) or in the lymph nodes near the breast bone (found during a sentinel node biopsy) OR the tumor measures 2 centimeters or smaller and has spread to the axillary lymph nodes OR the tumor is larger than 2 centimeters but not larger than 5 centimeters and has not spread to the axillary lymph nodes. Stage IIB describes invasive breast cancer in which:the tumor is larger than 2 centimeters but no larger than 5 centimeters; small groups of breast cancer cells -- larger than 0.2 millimeter but not larger than 2 millimeters -- are found in the lymph nodes OR the tumor is larger than 2 centimeters but no larger than 5 centimeters; cancer has spread to 1 to 3 axillary lymph nodes or to lymph nodes near the breastbone (found during a sentinel node biopsy) OR the tumor is larger than 5 centimeters but has not spread to the axillary lymph nodes [9:28AM, 03/05/2016] Aunty Becky: STAGE III Stage III is divided into subcategories known as IIIA, IIIB, and IIIC. Stage IIIA describes invasive breast cancer in which either:no tumor is found in the breast or the tumor may be any size; cancer is found in 4 to 9 axillary lymph nodes or in the lymph nodes near the breastbone (found during imaging tests or a physical exam) OR the tumor is larger than 5 centimeters; small groups of breast cancer cells (larger than 0.2 millimeter but not larger than 2 millimeters) are found in the lymph nodes OR the tumor is larger than 5 centimeters; cancer has spread to 1 to 3 axillary lymph nodes or to the lymph nodes near the breastbone (found during a sentinel lymph node biopsy) Stage IIIB describes invasive breast cancer in which: the tumor may be any size and has spread to the chest wall and/or skin of the breast and caused swelling or an ulcer AND may have spread to up to 9 axillary lymph nodes OR may have spread to lymph nodes near the breastbone. Inflammatory breast cancer is considered at least stage IIIB. Typical features of inflammatory breast cancer include: reddening of a large portion of the breast skin. The breast feels warm and may be swollen, cancer cells have spread to the lymph nodes and may be found in the skin. Stage IIIC describes invasive breast cancer in which:there may be no sign of cancer in the breast or, if there is a tumor, it may be any size and may have spread to the chest wall and/or the skin of the breast AND the cancer has spread to 10 or more axillary lymph nodes OR the cancer has spread to lymph nodes above or below the collarbone OR the cancer has spread to axillary lymph nodes or to lymph nodes near the breastbone STAGE IV Stage IV describes invasive breast cancer that has spread beyond the breast and nearby lymph nodes to other organs of the body, such as the lungs, distant lymph nodes, skin, bones, liver, or brain.You may hear the words “advanced” and “metastatic” used to describe stage IV breast cancer. Cancer may be stage IV at first diagnosis or it can be a recurrence of a previous breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. |

CANCER STAGE is based on four characteristics:the size of the cancer. Whether the cancer is invasive or non-invasive whether cancer is in the lymph nodes. Whether the cancer has spread to other parts of the body beyond the breast. You also may see or hear certain words used to describe the stage of the breast cancer: LOCAL: The cancer is confined within the breast.Regional: The lymph nodes, primarily those in the armpit, are involved. DISTANT: The cancer is found in other parts of the body as well.Sometimes doctors use the term “locally advanced” or “regionally advanced” to refer to large tumors that involve the breast skin, underlying chest structures, changes to the breast's shape, and lymph node enlargement that is visible or that your doctor can feel during an exam. The stage of the breast cancer can help you and your doctor understand your prognosis (the most likely outcome of the disease) and make decisions about treatment, along with all of the other results in your pathology report. Cancer stage also gives everyone a common way to describe the breast cancer, so that the results of your treatment can be compared and understood relative to that of other people. Your doctor may use another staging system known as TNM to describe the cancer. This system is based on the size of the tumor (T), lymph node involvement (N), and whether the cancer has spread, or metastasized, to other parts of the body (M). |

STAGES OF BREAST CANCER Your pathology report will include information about the stage of the breast cancer — that is, whether it is limited to one area in the breast, or it has spread to healthy tissues inside the breast or to other parts of the body. Your doctor will begin to determine this during surgery to remove the cancer and look at one or more of the underarm lymph nodes, which is where breast cancer tends to travel first. He or she also may order additional blood tests or imaging tests if there is reason to believe the cancer might have spread beyond the breast. |
Health / Signs N Symptoms Of Breast Cancer by claratimoh: 10:54pm On May 16, 2016 |
BREAST CANCER Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that starts in the cells of the breast. A malignant tumor is a group of cancer cells that can grow into (invade) surrounding tissues or spread (metastasize) to distant areas of the body. The disease occurs almost entirely in women, but men can get it, too. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF BREAST CANCER Everyone’s breasts are different, and your breasts can change with age and at different times of the month. It’s important to get to know how your breasts normally look and feel so it will be easier to spot if there are any unusual changes for you. If you do spot any unusual changes to your breasts you should get them checked out by your doctor. Finding out about breast cancer signs and symptoms can help you understand what breast changes to look out for. Lumps are vital to look out for, and for many women the first sign or symptom of breast cancer is a lump in their breast. But many women have breast lumps and most of them are benign (not cancerous), and there are other important signs and symptoms too. CHANGES TO CHECK FOR LUMP - may not be seen, but might be felt. - Can you feel a lump? Either in the breast, upper chest or armpit? - Is there a lumpy area? - Or unusual thickening of the breast tissuethat doesn't go away? - Is there any unusual pain? Either in part of the breast or the armpit? SKIN TEXTURE e.g. dimpling or puckering Any change in size or shape? For example, one breast might become larger or lower than the other. Any change in colour? E.g. the breast may look red or inflamed. Any change in skin texture? Such as puckering or dimpling of the skin of the breast. APPEARANCE OR DIRECTION OF THE NIPPLE What about the appearance or the direction of the nipple? E.g. one might become inverted (turned in) when it normally points out. NIPPLE DISCHARGE Any unusual discharge? One or both nipples might have a discharge. RASH OR CRUSTING Any rash or crusting of the nipple or surrounding area. It’s as simple as TLCTOUCH your breasts. - Can you feel anything unusual? - LOOK for changes. Is there any change in shape or texture? - CHECK anything unusual with your doctor. Love your breasts - be breast aware. Most cases of breast cancer are found by women noticing unusual changes and visiting their doctor to get them checked. The earlier breast cancer is found, the better the chance of beating it – so it’s important to be breast aware. Being breast aware simply means knowing what your breasts look and feel like normally, being on the lookout for any unusual changes and getting them checked out by your doctor.No one knows your body better than you and everyone will have their own way of touching and looking for changes – there’s no special technique and you don’t need any training. It’s good to get into the habit of doing this regularly – maybe when you’re in the bath or shower, or while getting dressed in the morning. |
