Reasons Why Miso Soup Can Help Prevent Breast Cancer

By Jane Yamasaki

Miso soup is a famous Japanese soup that is not only healthy but rich in fiber, minerals, vitamins as well as protein. Miso paste is a mixture of rice, barley, soybeans, yeast, salt and water. This whole mixture is stored into wooden barrels where the process of fermentation will take place for as long as 3 years.

Miso soup is usually served as breakfast but you can serve it as a stand-alone soup course or an appetizer if you want to. This nourishing Japanese soup takes only a few minutes to prepare. You just basically cook the vegetables in dashi, which is a stock made with seaweed and dried sardines and then add in the fried tofu cubes and miso paste. There is also the instant miso soup but they are not really that delicious.

There are many types of miso soup that you can make at home and the flavor will depend on the type of miso and dashi you use including other ingredients. Many Japanese homes are not limited to only one type miso soup. In fact, there are basically 3 types of miso pastes, white, black and red where darker pastes taste saltier.

If you consume a bowl of miso soup every day, just like most Japanese do, you can reduce the risk of having breast cancer. This is attributed to the magic ingredient of fermented soy paste, used to make miso. Miso soup is also said to help regulate the hormone estrogen in women, a hormone that can cause tumors to develop.

Many health researchers also agree that miso soup can really help reduce the risk of having breast cancer. This is all based on the discovery that isoflavones which is found in miso soup, can help block out cells that can become cancerous. However, it is recommended that you drink at least three bowls of miso soup each week so that you can fully reap the benefits.

Start Living Healthy To Avoid Getting Cancer

By Rita Goldman

Some people think that cancer is a naturally occurring medical condition, one that cannot be prevented, but this is just a misconception, there's no factual evidence behind this belief. Cancer has been noted as the second leading cause of death at present but it has been predicted to be the leading cause of death in 2010, that's just one year away. Is there any way of avoiding this dreadful disease? There is a possible way which implicates the change in our lifestyle.

This kind of lifestyle change includes changing our bad eating habits as well as improving our physical activities. If we are fond of eating processed foods, junk foods, fast foods, and other kinds of food that contains preservatives and chemicals, then its time to eat healthier foods such as fruits and vegetables. Why is this so? It has been found that the preservatives and chemicals found in artificially prepared foods contribute to the development of cancer. The cancer cells feed on these aforementioned human-made food enhancements to make them grow and become stronger in the process.

Another way of preventing cancer is through exercising regularly. You dont really have to allot your time to visit the gym every now and then to achieve this. You can always incorporate simple forms of exercise to your daily activities such as walking several blocks a day or using the stairs instead of the elevator. You can also try jogging in the local park if you have enough time on your hands. In the summer season, you can go for a swim or play volleyball on the beach with your friends. Regular exercise strengthens your cells and rejuvenates the circulation of your blood and lymphatic system, which are your main body soldiers fighting the harmful cancer cells.

You should also eliminate some of your vices such as smoking and drinking alcohol because these are two of the known risk factors associated with the development of cancer. Always remember that anything which cannot contribute to your healths positive development should be disregarded.

When you start living healthy earlier in your life, you will definitely feel the immediate benefits such as having a vigorous body, youthful skin, a sharper mind, and lastly, a longer life. By feeding your natural cells with healthy food, supplying them with ample exercise, as well as eradicating your bad vices, you are strengthening their immunity against the harmful cancer cells.

Kill Cancer Cells - Don't Feed On Sugar

By Rita Goldman

I bet you didn't know that cancer cells feed on sugar in order for them to survive. This fact was part of the discovery of Dr. Otto Warburg about cancers biochemical cause way back in the 1930s. He pointed out several things that differentiate normal cells and cancer cells. Normal cells constantly need oxygen from blood circulation whereas cancer cells do not. It has been noted that any part of your body that do not contain any oxygen have cancer cells dwelling in it.

Both normal cells and cancer cells metabolize differently. If normal healthy cells metabolize using oxygen, cancer cells metabolize without the presence of oxygen because it uses the process of fermentation, a procedure similar to making wine which needs absolute oxygen-free environment. The findings also show that cancer cells metabolism is faster than normal healthy cells.

As mentioned, cancer cells use fermentation during their metabolism. During this process, the cancer cells need sugar in order for metabolism to take place. They will use the sugars stored in your body to facilitate the said process. Sugar helps cancer cells grow in number as well as strengthens them. Normal healthy cells also consume sugar in order for them to grow. But for this matter, we have to determine the difference between cancer and normal cells sugar intake.

Not all kinds of sugar feed cancer cells. There are good sugars and bad sugars. Bad sugars, otherwise known as simple sugars, are the main favorite food of cancer cells. These are said to be sugars with no nutritional benefit which you can find in sodas, sweet treats, sugary cereals, processed juice drinks, and other refined grains.

Good sugars, otherwise known as complex carbohydrates, are rich in nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, protein, and fiber. Fruits, vegetables, beans, and whole grains belong to the good sugars category. The sugars extracted from these food groups are utilized by normal healthy cells in their metabolism.

When you are fond of eating unhealthy foods filled with bad sugars and you have been diagnosed with cancer, start restructuring your food plan. Instead of drinking processed orange juice, why dont you substitute it with the real fruit orange? Flavored yogurts are also one of the rich sources of bad sugars. You can substitute it with plain yogurt filled with fresh fruits instead.

If you simply follow the simple plan of eradicating bad sugars from your overall diet, eventually the cancer cells die out because of starvation and their inability to metabolize and reproduce.

Breast Cancer Overview

By Dr Taylor Cromish

Breast cancer is a malignant growth that starts from cells in the breast. It is one of the commonest cancers women suffer and between 40 and 55 years of age. It is unfortunately one of the main causes of female death below the age of 60 but more women now beat it than ever.

Understandably many women fear breast cancer. Modern treatment is curing more women than ever but as with most illnesses early diagnosis leads to better odds of cure. Men do get breast cancer but there is a much lower incidence.

Incidence

Breast cancer rates have increased by more than 50% over the last twenty years. The highest rates of breast cancer occur in Northern Europe and North America and the lowest rates are in parts of Africa and Asia. The good news is thanks to better diagnosis and treatment survival rates are improving.

Death rates have been dropping steadily since 1990 and one of the keys to this is early diagnosis. Indeed medical experts attribute the decline in breast cancer deaths to both this and more effective treatments.

Treatment of Breast Cancer

The treatment you will get depends on the type of cancer and if it has gone out of your breast elsewhere in your body. How far, if at all, the cancer has spread is called staging. Stage 0 means the cancer is just in the breast and stage 4 means it is spread through your body. What combination of treatment you receive depends on the stage and is the same for males and females.

Treatment options for breast cancer include surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, hormone treatment and biological therapy with drugs such as Herceptin. Treatment takes place in two forms, which are local and systemic.

Localized therapy for breast cancer includes surgery and sometimes x-ray therapy. The drug treatments can affect your whole body as well as the cancer but with modern regimens the side effects are not as bad as they used to be.

Survival

More women conquer and beat cancer each year. With earlier diagnosis and smaller spread of cancer survival rates are high. Individuals are all different however and there are lots of examples of women with more advanced cancer beating it and living long lives. Males and females have broadly the same chances of beating the disease.

Breast cancer rates are increasing and affect all ages. It is devastating to be diagnosed with cancer. But with better and earlier detection breast cancer can be beaten.

Breast cancer does not mean you are going to die but it is an enormous shock, which can be taken on and overcome. Female relatives may need to be assessed as many cancers are related to particular genes.

You Have The Power To Cure Cancer

By Rita Goldman

Is it possible to heal cancer by using your mind? Yes, it is a definite possibility. All of us have this innate power inside our minds to heal everything that has been ailing us, including cancer. There are a lot of cancer free people who can attest to this proven healing process. One of them is Louise Hay, the famous author of several self-help books who suffered from cervical cancer years ago.

Now at the age of 82, shes still living a happy and healthful life because she learned how to utilize her innate power to heal her cancer. Way back in 1977, she has discovered that she was inflicted with cervical cancer but she refused to undergo chemotherapy or other medical procedures that can supposedly heal cancer.

She said that her cancer manifested because she refused to let go of her troublesome childhood life when she was abused and raped. After learning the cause of her cancer, she forgave the person who abused and raped her, used self-hypnosis, meditation, proper nutrition, and other self help regimen to heal her cancer. And to this day, she is sharing this healing power of the mind through seminars, self-help books, audio recordings, and videos.

You can also live a cancer free life if you can learn how to let go of the things you resent, be it a personal experience, guilt, injustice, lack of self love, doubt, or anything negative that you still hold on to. These negative energies prohibit you from unlocking the true healing power of your mind.

If you can let go of these hindrances, you can do self-hypnosis or ask for the help from a hypnotherapist to finally heal your cancer. Always remember, you alone have the power to heal your cancer, no one else can do this for you.

Cancer Free Life Through Healthy Lymphatic System

By Rita Goldman

If we don't have a healthy lymphatic system, the risk of cancer development increases significantly. One of the ways to prevent cancer is through improving our lymphatic systems performance. We can do this by incorporating a healthy diet as well as ample exercise regimen that helps improve the circulation of our lymphatic system.

The normal circulation of the lymph fluid containing the white blood cells follow the upward motion which is in contrast to the earths pull of gravity. If we don't have a healthy circulation of the lymphatic system, chances are gravity will have a stronger pull on the lymph fluid. When this happens, there wont be enough supply of white blood cells all over your body, making you more vulnerable to diseases, including cancer. This kind of problem also diminishes the natural process of filtration by your spleen and liver because there is no ample supply of lymph fluids to be filtered.

A healthy intake of natural foods helps promote healthy bodily systems which also include lymphatic system. We should avoid foods that can cause blockage in the small lymph tubes where the clear lymph fluid passes through. This kind of impurity is quite similar to the cholesterol blockage in our blood vessels which is caused by eating foods high in fat. If you wanted to be cancer free, start taking care of your lymphatic system.

There are some forms of exercises you can do as well to promote healthy circulation of the lymphatic system. One of them is by incorporating inverted yoga poses. These inverted poses bring about faster circulation of the lymph fluid carrying the healthy antibodies that combats viruses, bacteria, and even cancer cells.

Another kind of fun exercise you can do is by jumping up and down on a trampoline. This exercise opposes the pull of gravity thus promoting a significant increase in the lymphatic systems circulation.

Heal Your Cancer Through Faith

By Rita Goldman

You have been diagnosed with cancer recently and you found yourself asking whether or not God loves you. You have been seeking the answer to your question, Why did this happen to me? Cancer may be the most devastating ailment that can inflict any person of any age. But this shouldn't hinder you from healing yourself. So how are you going to start walking on the road to wellness?

Always remember that there wont be any recovery taking place without your utmost strong belief that you will be healed. Even if you are undergoing chemotherapy, taking in medications, therapies and other possible cancer healing medical procedures, you wont be healed if you dont have faith.

What is faith anyway? Faith is defined as fully trusting the Supreme Power we all know of, God. It doesn't matter what kind of religion you have, whether you are Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Mormon, Hindu, or Jew, we all have our beliefs but we only believe in one Supreme Being.

Don't listen to your doctors who may not believe in faith healing your cancer but this shouldn't stop you from doing it. If you have no doubt that you will be healed, you will be. All of the accounts written in the Bible depicting the sickly people being healed during Jesus time were all healed because they have faith. Jesus even exclaimed, Your faith has healed you.

In the process of faith healing, no matter how painful your cancer symptoms might be and how bad you feel, never doubt on the power of God to heal your ailment. Never give up trusting Him, just offer all of your burdens to Him and pray. If you ever get the feeling of doubt, start praying. This will rid you off the negative doubt and will renew your faith. Always remember that all prayers are answered when you have the utmost faith in God.

Early Detection of Cancer Through Thermography

By Rita Goldman

Breast cancer is the second most dangerous cancer that women are at risk for. Because of this, breast cancer prevention became one of the top priorities of health conscious women. They watch their daily diet, lifestyle practices, as well as avoid several cancer risk factors. These means of cancer prevention decrease the percentage of acquiring breast cancer but sometimes there are still a few loopholes that can manifest breast lumps and other symptoms of breast cancer.

Did you know that the earliest symptoms of breast cancer wont be appearing in about eight to ten years? Yes, it is sad to say that breast cancer has a long dormancy period. However, because of long enduring years of research for better breast cancer early detection, Thermography has been born. This is a promising new method to detect breast cancer early, even much better than mammography, according to experts.

Thermography, sometimes called thermal imaging, shows a heat map of your body. This heat map shows which part of your body, particularly your breasts, is emitting the most heat patterns. Even before breast lumps or tumors appear, the presence of possible cancer can be detected on the breast when it emanates abnormal heat pattern. The more heat you have on your breast, the more risk of cancer development. It has been said that cancer rapidly grows more veins in a particular area thus emitting more heat in the process.

However, you shouldnt always rely on the thermography mapping. You should pair this cancer detection with mammography as well because there had been some cases of wrong diagnosis. Some women who have more heat on their breasts didn't mean that they were always at risk of breast cancer and other women who didn't have the appearance of heat on their thermography test actually have cancer cells developing inside them. These are just samples of the wrong diagnosis of thermography tests. It may be caused by our differences in molecular structure or perhaps our differences in hormone production.

When we really want to be wary of breast cancer through early detection, it would be best to have two tests done at the same time, thermography and mammography, in order to ensure that we won't belong to the wrongly diagnosed women.

Cure And Prevent Cancer Through Alternative Medicine

By Rita Goldman

What is alternative medicine? Alternative medicine is said to be the holistic approach to cure various diseases. Alternative medicine doesn't use any conventional means, or clinical procedures like surgery, radiation, chemotherapy and other medical procedures, to heal these diseases, including cancer. It also comes in many forms of healing such as electromagnetic therapy, essiac or mixture of herbs therapy, iscador or using the mistletoe extract, gerson therapy, and a few others more.

There had been little studies conducted about the effectiveness of alternative medicine but some people diagnosed with cancer who have undergone therapies like Ayurveda, an ancient Indian medical science, have sworn of the holistic approaches efficiency over the conventional forms of the medical world.

Why is this so? Well, we all know that people who have been undergoing chemotherapy, surgery, and other medical procedures also suffer from the aftermath symptoms of the medical procedures, which mostly include weakening of the body and unimaginable pain. The holistic approach through alternative medicine doesn't give any discomfort to the cancer patient. Instead, it provides an uplifting self discovery aside from the healing process immediately felt by the patient.

Most of the time, these various holistic therapies don't only cure cancer but also get rid of other forms of diseases already present in the body and even prevent someone to acquire new kinds of diseases. How do they do accomplish this? Well, its simple " therapists and alternative doctors teach their patients to practice a healthier lifestyle in order to balance their body channels from negative energies. They often believe that illnesses are caused by the body's imbalance of emotional, physical, and spiritual factors.

Some people who have been cured from cancer through alternative medicine didn't regain the cancer disease because they followed a healthier and balanced lifestyle. Because of this, alternative medicine can also be used for cancer prevention since patients learn how to evade the negative energies that alternative doctors believe to cause cancer.

Avoid Dairy Products To Prevent Cancer

By Rita Goldman

Prof. Jane Plant, PhD, CBE is one of the many women who battled against breast cancer and survived to tell the tale. She has endured five cases of breast cancer and has surpassed all of them. This happened because she used her keen observation as a scientist to discover what has been causing her cancer.

By the way, Prof. Jane is Chinese but has been living in the UK ever since she moved. What did she discover in her observation from her own breast cancer case? She discovered that dairy products have a direct link in causing her cancer. How did she do this? Well, she closely studied the differences between the Western countries and the Asian countries regular kind of foods.

She noticed that most foods found in the Western hemisphere are mostly composed of dairy products. Cheese and milk are two of the most common dairy products but these are also used as ingredients in various kinds of food like pasta sauces, yogurts, ice creams, coffee creamers, and a whole lot more. This entails that most Americans and Europeans take in dairy products as part of their daily diet because even their simplest foods contain these products from cows.

She compared this discovery with her native Chinese cultures usual eating habits. According to her, traditional Chinese do not take in any form of dairy products. When a mother has a baby and she doesnt have enough milk to feed her baby, she uses the services of a wet nurse, who is lactating mother, to feed her child. They do not feed their children with cows milk. The statistics of breast cancer in China is very low even if they are the most populous country in the world.

Chinese who first moved in to Western countries are also not at risk of developing breast cancer because they still stick to their traditional diet. The succeeding generations after them are likely to have breast cancer risk because they are adapting the Western form of diet. This shows that breast cancer risk doesnt run in the genes alone but also in the kind of foods we take in everyday.

After all of these observations, Prof. Jane Plant, PhD, CBE totally eliminated dairy products from her daily diet. She started reading food labels when she shops for food in the grocery to check whether the product she is buying contains any dairy produce in it. She noticed that the five lumps of her breast cancer started to shrink significantly after cutting off her dairy products intake.

Her doctors and colleagues are astonished by the miraculous healing she is undergoing. She shared her secret to one of her doctor friends but he was somewhat skeptical with the idea at first. However, the same doctor is now teaching his medical students and even his patients about the negative effects of dairy products in breast cancer development.

We salute Prof. Jane for this kind of discovery because of her willpower to continue living and eliminate her breast cancer for good. The National Cancer Institute hasnt released official information about the effects of dairy products in breast cancer development. But surely enough, the real life experience of a woman, one that belongs to the highly educated people, who once battled cancer, tells us that her discovery about dairy products is one of the best breast cancer prevention and healing you can learn from.
