Cancer prevention, July 2008.
In 2000 cancer were 10 million victims in the world and is expected to increase by 50% to 15 million in 2020. In India, 800,000 new cancer cases are recorded each year; 25,00,000 cancer patients are under treatment at any time and about 550,000 die from them. It is sad that in India 70% of cancers are seen at an advanced stage and the cure rates are near zero.
third of all cancers are preventable and one preventive measures as term strategy more reliable and profitable long in cancer control.
The use of snuff is the leading preventable cause of cancer accounts for 80 to 90% of lung cancer and 30% of cancer deaths from all causes.
Dietary factors and obesity are strongly correlated with many types of cancers.
Several types of infections represent approximately 22% of cancer deaths in developing countries and 6% in industrialized countries.
Excessive exposure to ionizing radiation and genetic predisposition for the account of other types of cancer.
Apart from the "primary prevention" for various building measures, early diagnosis and treatment energy are the two most important steps in "secondary prevention".
The first signs of cancer.
- Loss of appetite, weight loss especially in those over 50 years.
- Inexplicable and pallor of the persistent weakness of the ancients.
- Any flat rate anywhere in the body, even if it is absolutely painless.
- Any sore or ulcer anywhere, if not cured with 3-4 weeks time.

- Difficulty swallowing or breathing.
- Change in bowel habits or urination.
In addition to cancer can mimic many other diseases with different general symptoms such as fever, jaundice, cough, weakness, etc and does not respond even after prolonged or repeated courses of treatment.
What to do if you notice any of these suspicious symptoms early?
Being afraid I might be cancer and avoid the dreaded confirmation and hope that is not cancer, avoiding going to a doctor is the worst decision you can make. Being well informed that even if it is cancer, is highly treatable in its early stages, you should immediately consult an expert – your own doctor, a specialist in surgery or a consultant in Internal Medicine or a cancer specialist or oncologist in that order of preference. The doctor is in a much better position to guide you as to what to do. After making a detailed assessment / examination of the following would happen:
# You can say and assure you that there is no fear of any type of cancer and explain what exactly it is. It can be a simple package due to an innocent / benign condition called "sebaceous cyst" or a lipoma (fat mass) or other similar condition.
# Also you suspect may be the cancer early and order some special tests like blood tests, X-ray or CT.
# Or perhaps refer you to a specialist for evaluation and testing.
# If the suspicion of cancer persists, the final test to make sure it is, would be a kind of a biopsy. "This maybe a simple" Aspiraion fine needle cytology (FNA) which consists of simply inserting a thin needle and using strong suction force to remove a small drop of liquid for evaluation by a pathologist. Or maybe some other type of biopsy where a small portion of those affected / suspected inflammation or part and it breaks, usually under local injection and a pathologist can diagnose it more certain that the FNAC.
# In rare cases, if still not clear what it is, some tests can be more special perform all or suspected inflammation or part and maybe removed by an operation to make the diagnosis. This is also a form of biopsy called "biopsy excision. "
At this stage the chances are that it is conclusively established that it is not cancer or cancer if it is appropriate treatment measures started immediately. This is perhaps a combination of one or more of surgery, radiation, chemotherapy or some other method. And if the diagnosis has been made timely and appropriate treatment was initiated in its early stages, in most cases cancer can be cured.

Where I can find no fluoride toothpaste. EPA senior people have left to speak out against it.?
I'm sick of the lies. This is not the first time the government has lied about something big. http://www.zerowasteamerica.org/DrRobertCarton.htm Dr. William Marcus, a senior advisor of science and EPA toxicologist described in "Food and Water Journal," 1998, "Fluoride is a carcinogen by any medium we use. I think the EPA should act immediately to protect the public, not only on data from cancer, but evidence of bone fractures, arthritis, mutagenicity and other effects. "I know the inclination of persons at high power for a profit at the expense of people and use the information to keep in handling media and community scientific in its performance. Fluoride is an air pollutant threatening to large companies found they could get rid of it in the water and say it was the holy grail for preventing tooth decay.
There are a lot of toothpaste have not fluoide, just check the label. However, I can not believe everything which is on the Internet. Fluoride is good for teeth. It is natural in the water in many areas and do not have a cancer problem. children today have far fewer dental carries that the generation before fluoride.
