Much has been said about the first three aspects of health and rather little of how much spiritual root causes affect our health. The Spiritual Science Research Foundation has investigated the spiritual aspect of cancer disease and the probability of its cure by introducing spiritual healing remedies. http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/Cancer-Cure-Possibilities---A-Spiritual-Outlook/157771 Wed, 30 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/Cancer-Cure-Possibilities---A-Spiritual-Outlook/157771 Being affected with cancer is a hard hitting moment in anyone's life.

Cancer cells grow to form a mass of cancer tissue (tumor) that interferes with brain tissue functions such as muscle control, sensation, memory, and other normal body functions. Tumors composed of cancer cells are called malignant tumors, and those composed of noncancerous cells are called benign tumors. Cancer cells that develop from brain tissue are called primary brain tumors. Statistics suggest that brain cancer is not rare and is likely to develop in about 20,000 people per year. http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/Symptoms-And-Treatment-Of-Brain-Cancer/150120 Thu, 26 Jun 2008 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/Symptoms-And-Treatment-Of-Brain-Cancer/150120 Many people with kidney cancer want to take an active part in making decisions about their medical care. They want to learn all they can about their disease and their treatment choices. However, shock and stress after the diagnosis can make it hard to think of everything they want to ask the doctor. It often helps to make a list of questions before an appointment. To help remember what the doctor says, people may take notes or ask whether they may use a tape recorder. http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/Kidney-Cancer---Causes--Symptoms-and-Treatment/147576 Mon, 16 Jun 2008 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/Kidney-Cancer---Causes--Symptoms-and-Treatment/147576 Although the effects of treatment vary according to each patient and the medications used, all cancer patients suffer adverse effects of treatment that affect their skin, look and internal organs. An important part of the work of clinicians and patients is to precisely manage those potential side effects. http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/Natural-Cancer-Treatment-vs-Conventional-Cancer-Treatment/146653 Wed, 11 Jun 2008 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/Natural-Cancer-Treatment-vs-Conventional-Cancer-Treatment/146653 The brain is a soft, spongy mass of tissue. It is protected by the bones of the skull and three thin membranes called meninges. Watery fluid called cerebrospinal fluid cushions the brain. This fluid flows through spaces between the meninges and through spaces within the brain called ventricles. http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/How-to-Treat-Brain-Cancer/145753 Fri, 06 Jun 2008 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/How-to-Treat-Brain-Cancer/145753 Glucagonoma is a rare pathology. Incidence is probably 1 per cent of all neuroendocrine tumors. From 1942, approximately 250 cases are described in the literature. Incidence of this pathology is estimated on an annual basis, with 1 case occurring in every 20 million people. This number is probably an underestimation of the actual occurrence because of the relative lack of specificity of the symptoms. An additional factor contributing to this underestimation is the time during which the tumors are clinically silent. http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/Glucagonoma---Information-on-Glucagonoma/145748 Fri, 06 Jun 2008 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/Glucagonoma---Information-on-Glucagonoma/145748 A cancer that occurs in any part of the endocrine system.

The patient will live longer without being weighed down by the it. Many positive victims are resuming their jobs after a short treatment break. http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/Cancer-And-The-Workplace--Handling-Discrimination-Efficiently/141890 Thu, 22 May 2008 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/Cancer-And-The-Workplace--Handling-Discrimination-Efficiently/141890 Cancer patients are at a risk of losing more than their health.

There is a need to establish the benefit/risk balance for any of the commonly suggested CT screening techniques. http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/Medical-Center-and-Hospital-Radiation-Exposure--Renewed-Concerns/140615 Fri, 16 May 2008 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/Medical-Center-and-Hospital-Radiation-Exposure--Renewed-Concerns/140615 When my husband was diagnosed with esophagus cancer, we never talked about him dying, except in the very beginning. I think we were afraid to voice the worst scenario we could think of, him not making it through this disease. http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/Afraid-to-Talk-About-Dying/137568 Fri, 02 May 2008 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/Afraid-to-Talk-About-Dying/137568 After my husband's death, I enclosed myself in an emotional shell.

I wanted to be numb, I wanted to be left alone. http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/Living-a-Half-Life/137549 Fri, 02 May 2008 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/Living-a-Half-Life/137549 Phytochemicals are chemicals found in plants that protect plants against bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Eating large amounts of brightly colored fruits and vegetables (yellow, orange, red, green, white, blue, purple), whole grains/cereals, and beans containing phytochemicals may decrease the risk of developing certain cancers as well as diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease. The action of phytochemicals varies by color and type of the food. http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/Natural-Cures-for-Cancer---Helps-to-Prevent-Cancer-Risk/137482 Fri, 02 May 2008 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/Natural-Cures-for-Cancer---Helps-to-Prevent-Cancer-Risk/137482 Bone cancer that originates in the bone - primary bone cancer - is rare. Fewer than 2,500 Americans are diagnosed with this type of cancer each year. The condition affects more children than adults. Bone cancer is a malignant (cancerous) tumor of the bone that destroys normal bone tissue (1). Not all bone tumors are malignant. http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/Bone-Cancer---Information-on-Bone-Cancer/136061 Thu, 24 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/Bone-Cancer---Information-on-Bone-Cancer/136061 The dream of curing cancer is no longer a dream. Alternative cancer cures are being hushed because drug companies wants no competition. The foremost step to curing cancer is to get as far away from american pharmaceutical medicine as possible! The horrible truth is that curing cancer is no longer about the cure or the patient, but about greed and politics. http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/Cancer-Cure--Prevention--Treatments-and-Diet/135912 Thu, 24 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/Cancer-Cure--Prevention--Treatments-and-Diet/135912 The liver is the largest organ in the body, and the main heat-producing organ. It is surrounded by a fibrous capsule and is divided into sections called lobes. It is in the upper part of the abdomen on the right-hand side of the body and is surrounded and protected from injury by the lower ribs. http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/Know-the-Treatment-of-Liver-Cancer/135809 Thu, 24 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/Know-the-Treatment-of-Liver-Cancer/135809 Pancreatic cancer is one of the most serious of cancers. It develops when cancerous cells form in the tissues of your pancreas a large organ that lies horizontally behind the lower part of your stomach. Your pancreas secretes enzymes that aid digestion and hormones that help regulate the metabolism of carbohydrates. http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/Pancreatic-Cancer---Treatment-for-Pancreatic-Cancer/134559 Thu, 17 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/Pancreatic-Cancer---Treatment-for-Pancreatic-Cancer/134559 Cancer is not just one disease but many diseases. There are more than 100 different types of cancer. Most cancers are named for the organ or type of cell in which they start - for example, cancer that begins in the colon is called colon cancer; cancer that begins in basal cell of the skin is called basal cell carcinoma. http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/Cancer---It-s-Causes/134523 Thu, 17 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/Cancer---It-s-Causes/134523 It is becoming embarrassingly clear to the big "Cancer Research" organizations, that no matter how many guinea pig volunteers at U.S. penitentiaries they inoculate with liver cancer cells, the subjects do not get cancer. No matter how much time is wasted repeating this expiriment and how much public money is spent in a benighted effort to square a circle, the lustre of the words, "There is no cancer in normal metabolism," grows brighter. http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/Cancer-Research---What-Is-Being-Done-/134407 Wed, 16 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/Cancer-Research---What-Is-Being-Done-/134407 The world we share today is filled with health problems.
