Cancer is one of those diseases the process of which is fully determined, but the nature is still not well known. This is one of the most discussed diseases and one of the main killers known in medicine, following trauma, myocardial infarction and cerebrovascular accident. Many scientists try their best in hunting for cancer remedy. Even Noble’s prize is set for cancer medicament. This article presents brief reviews of four most popular approaches to cancer cure.

Traditional medicine

In traditional medicine cancer treatment depends on the type of tumor, its localization, structure, stage of the disease according to TNM classification. The basic treatment types include:

1. Surgical removal of tumor with adjacent tissues. Effective for treating tumors of small sizes, accessible for operative intervention and in the absence of metastases. Often after surgical treatment tumor relapses occur.

2. Radiation therapy is applied for treatment of poorly differentiated carcinomas, sensitive to radiation. Also it is used for local disruption of metastases.

3. Chemotherapy is applied for treatment of late cancer stages by using medicinal preparations, leading to malignant cells degradation or growth impairment.

4. Gene therapy is the most advanced method that implies influencing on STAT (signal transduction and transcription) system and other systems, and by that very fact adjusting the process of cells division.

At present the best results in cancer cure are achieved by applying combined treatment methods (surgical, radiation and chemotherapeutic).

Hyperthermia

Hyperthermia is one of the most effective and at the same time the most dangerous cancer cure procedure, which implies artificial superheating of the body temperature to 43 degrees C. What is hyperthermia? The point is that at a temperature of 42 degrees Celsius irreversible consequences start: blood protein deteriorates and uncontrolled thermal shock develops rapidly and unavoidably. At 43 degrees C and more a human dies. And this critical temperature that is a borderline between life and death is the focus of doctors\\’ attention.

It appears, physiological mechanisms in healthy tissues at such temperature are still able to recover with cooling to normal temperature, and cell-mutants, hazardous microorganisms, bacteria and viruses die irrevocably. That is an essence of hyperthermia. In order to switch off natural thermoregulation, which maintains the body temperature at 36.6 degrees C even in ice-cold water and in hot steam room, a special narcosis is applied.

The world’s largest center of general hyperthermia research is Siberian Research Institute of Hyperthermia in Novosibirsk, Russia. This was the main center where all persons interested had an opportunity to heat the whole body for about 1000$. All the patients signed the agreement to relieve the Institute of responsibility for their lives. The percentage of both successful and unsuccessful results was large. Probably because of the latter, since 2008 general hyperthermia of the body is officially prohibited in Russia and in most of the countries. But the organization in Novosibirsk has already found legal ways to evade strict laws and go on with their procedures.

In other countries, such as Germany and Ukraine, a local hyperthermia method is applied. It is much safer for human life, but is effective mostly for superficially located tumors (those of skin, mammary gland, prostate, etc). That is why this type of therapy is usually used simultaneously with other treatment methods, such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

Dr. Hulda Clark’s approach

Dr. Hulda Clark, was a famous naturopath, author, and practitioner of alternative medicine. She claimed that all human diseases are caused by parasitic infection, especially cancer. As she states, “the human species is now heavily infested with the fluke family of parasites, particularly theintestinal fluke Fasciolopsis buskii, but also the sheep liver fluke Fasciola hepatica, the pancreaticfluke of cattle Eurytrema pancreatica, and the human liver fluke Clonorchis sinensis. This increaseis due to the establishment of a new “biological reservoir” in cattle, fowl and household pets.” Hulda Clark assumes that in the presence of solvents like isopropyl alcohol,benzene, methanol, xylene, toluene and others, these flukes can freely live in our bodies occupying different organs and provoking different diseases. The abovementioned solvents according to Dr. Clark’s theory provide convenient conditions for parasites\\’ growth and are easily acquired from such products as toothpaste, mouthwash, lotions and cosmetics.

Dr. Clark’s natural cancer therapy includes the following three ingredients:

• Black Walnut Hull Tincture
• Wormwood capsules (should contain 200-300 mg of wormwood)
• Cloves

She suggests that people should take her preparations for a long time, both diseased and healthy. You can know the details of treatment from Hulda Clark’s books and try it. However, there are no scientifically corroborated evidences of Clark’s alternative cancer cure effectiveness, so, please, do not deny the other forms of therapy.

Dr. Gary Glum’s approach

Dr. Gary Glum suggests that a patient should use a non-toxic herb formula named Essiac for alternative cancer cure. It is a blend of herbs developed by a Canadian nurse, Rene Caisse in the beginning of 20-th century. Her formula was found only in 1937, however The Royal Cancer Commission did not precipitate the promulgation of this discovery for financial reasons. The popularity of Essiac started from 1980-s with Dr. Glum’s books and publications.

U.S. National Institutes of Health’s Medline does not confirm nor deny the effectiveness of Essiac in cancer treatment. As this organization reports, “None of the individual herbs used in Essiac has been tested in rigorous human cancer trials (rhubarb has shown some anti-tumor properties in animal experiments; slippery elm inner bark has not; sheep sorrel and burdock have been used traditionally in cancer remedies)”. The exact Essiac cancer cure formula is presented below.

Essiac tea. Supplies needed:

• 5-gallon stainless steel pot
• 3-gallon stainless steel pot, with lid
• Stainless steel fine-mesh double strainer
• Stainless steel funnel
• Stainless steel spatula
• 12 or more 16-ounce amber glass bottles with airtight caps (not childproof caps)
• 2 gallons sodium-free distilled water
• Measuring cup
• Kitchen scale with ounce measurements

Essiac formula:

• 6 ½ cups burdock root (Arctium Lappa) – cut
• 16 oz. sheep sorrel herb (Rumex Acetosella) – powdered
• 1 oz. turkey rhubarb root (Rheum Palmatum) – powdered
• 4 oz. slippery elm bark (Ulmus Fulva) – powdered

Essiac preparation:
1. Mix Essiac formula thoroughly.
2. Bring sodium-free distilled water to a rolling boil in 5-gallon pot with lid on. (Approximately 30 minutes at sea level.)
3. Stir in 1 cup of Essiac formula. Replace lid and continue boiling for 10 minutes.
4. Turn off stove. Scrape down sides of pot with spatula and stir mixture thoroughly. Replace lid.
5. Allow pot to remain closed for 12 hours; then turn stove to full heat for 20 minutes.
6. Turn off stove. Strain liquid into 3-gallon pot, and clean 5-gallon pot and strainer. Then strain filtered liquid back into 5-gallon pot.
7. Use funnel to pour hot liquid into bottles immediately, taking care to tighten caps. Allow bottles to cool; then tighten caps again.
8. Refrigerate. Essiac contains no preservative agents. If mold should develop in bottle, discard immediately.

Caution: all bottles and caps should be sterilized after use if you plan to re-use them for Essiac Bottle caps must be washed and rinsed thoroughly, and may be cleaned with a 3% solution of food grade hydrogen peroxide in water. To make a 3% solution, mix 1 oz. 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide with 11 oz. of sodium-free distilled water. (Let bottles soak for 5 minutes, then rinse and dry. Heat bottles at 225 degrees for 1 hour in the oven. Bottles must be dry. Boil caps or corks to sterilize.)

Directions for use
Heat 4 tablespoons (2 oz.) sodium-free distilled water in a stainless steel pot. Add 4 tablespoons of Essiac (shake the bottle first). Mix and drink. Take at bedtime on an empty stomach, at least 2 hours after eating, and again in the morning, at least ten minutes before eating.

Bronchial asthma is a chronic disease of respiratory apparatus declaring itself with periodical asthmatic fits of different strength and duration (from several hours to several weeks). The fit occurs due to spasms of small bronchi, swelling of their mucous membrane and their blocking with voluminous release of mucus. Usually asthma fits occur unexpectedly, mostly at night. They manifest themselves in labored breathing, the chest swells, and the patient experiences painful suffocation. The breathing turns to wheezing, the face becomes livid, neck veins swell. At the end of the fit viscous hyaline sputum, the cough becomes productive, the amount of sputum starts to grow and it segregates more easily. The patient can lie down and fall asleep. Besides such sudden fits there is also so-called acute severe asthma, when hours and days pass without expected relief.

Asthma cure. Strenlnikova’s method

Famous Russian doctor Strelnikova A.S. developed a special respiratory gymnastics that can help curing several diseases. But its main application is asthma treatment. The whole Strelnikova’s method includes plenty of exercises, but in this article we will look at only those of them that are recommended for acute asthmatic fits. Before doing the following exercises you should better put a palm on your breast. This way it will be easier for you to follow your breathing in and out.

1. Sitting position, hands in different directions, 2 seconds breathing in, simultaneously pull your bended leg up to your chin. Prolonged exhalation while pulling your leg down. Than within 8 seconds say “Pfff”.

2. Sitting close to chair back, make deep inhalation in using your nose for 2 seconds and long exhalation by mouth with “Pfff” sound.

3. While sitting, hands locked behind your head – make a breath, couple your elbows together with simultaneous bending – than exhale. Pronounce “Pfff” for 4 seconds. Do the exercise smoothly 3-4 times.

4. Sit still, relax, close your eyes, slowly breathe in and out twice and hold breathing for as long as you can. Repeat the procedure 3 times.

Besides breathing exercises Strelnikova recommends using medical breathing trainers and such improvised means as balloons (inflate at least 2 balloons a day) and soap bubbles. These common things can help improving both your breathing and cardiovascular systems.

Asthma home remedies

1. Treating asthma with Icelandic moss is popular in folk medicine. You can use decoction or tea made from this herb.

What causes tinnitus

Young people almost never suffer from ear noise, but old people are troubled by tinnitus much more often. Usually tinnitus arises from slagging of blood vessels in the body followed by blood supply disturbance.

The disease leads to memory and hearing deterioration, headache, loss of consciousness, depression, etc. Tinnitus can be cured within no less than three months.

Ringing in the ears can be caused by infectious diseases, atherosclerosis, metabolism and blood diseases, drug intoxication, nicotine, alcohol, mineral poisons, noise or surgical trauma. However, the most common causes of tinnitus are ear diseases – barotitis or utriculitis, endocrine glands disorder and head trauma. The noise appears when ear arteries, as well as those of the whole body, start to get narrow. Smokers are always in risk group.

Ear noise cure

Tinnitus cure is based on its cause. If ear noise comes from internal ear disorder, then medical treatment usually mitigates tinnitus symptoms. Doctors generally prescribe vitamins B1, B2, A, aloe extract, nicotinic acid, iodine containing preparation for this ailment. Some physicians include tricyclic antidepressants in their prescription, for instance, Amitriptyline (this one has plenty of side effects). In some cases such treatment turns out to be effective, but more often it doesn\\’ t.

Recent investigations of the problem showed that there is certain effectiveness of a migraine treatment remedy – Gabapentin, and alcoholism treatment drug – Acamprosate.

For those who tried everything and did not find the right remedy, it is the right time to resort to natural cure.

Tinnitus home remedies

Ear ringing will lessen, if regularly, thrice a day, while eating, you drink diluted apple vinegar with honey: 2 teaspoons of vinegar and 1 teaspoon of honey per glass of water. This drink makes up a deficiency of mineral substances, dilutes the water. But remember: you should prepare vinegar yourself.

Ear noise will become lower, if you wet your ears, the area behind them, temples, chin and neck every day (in the morning and in the evening) without wiping.

If you\\’ re looking for another effective tinnitus home remedy, instill blackberry twigs decoction in your ears. For this purpose boil 100g of the twigs in 0,5l of water till half the volume. Then filter and use for instillation. Choose an area where clover is short – 10-15 cm in height, cut it, dry and pour boiling water on both leaves, and stems. Then let it brew 1-2 hours and drink 5-6 times a day by 2-3 swallows.

Ear noise can be successfully (proven personally) eliminated by the following composition. Buy licorice roots and prepare it following the instructions on a pharmacy package. But you should better add chamomile. Boil 200g of water, put one tablespoon of licorice and one teaspoon of chamomile in it and let the composition simmer for 20 minutes. Drink the whole volume by 4 or 5 doses within a day. Drink with intervals: 10 days of intake followed by 10 days break.

Some recommend Melissa tincture for tinnitus treatment. Draw 1 part of crushed leaves per 3 parts of vodka for 7 days, filter and instill by 3-4 drops. You can make an decoction as well: 1 tablespoon of common balm per 1 glass of boiling water. Also can be infused and drunk as tea.

Also it is recommended to use black poplar juice – by 2-3 in each ear. Another folk remedy is onion juice: put 1 teaspoon of caraway seeds in bulb cavity, cover with cotton wool and bake in an oven. Instill by 5-7 drops 2 times a day till the noise goes away.

And the last formula. Peel 300g of garlic, put in half-liter bottle and pour alcohol over it. Let it draw for 3 weeks. Take orally every day by 20 drops in 1/2 cups of milk. This remedy is contraindicated for people with kidneys diseases.
