Cancer - Are we Curing it or are we just Treating it?

By: Alan Wighton

Cancer can be cured, not just treated but that doesn’t depend on the cancer, it depends on the person with the problem. Today we only have expensive conventional ways in treating the disease that subject a patient to much mutilation and suffering yet often yield survival improvements of only a few months. While drugs and surgery are effective in dealing with acute medical conditions and traumatic injury like accidents, there is no question that natural ways work better for chronic degenerative diseases such as cancer because they address and correct the actual cause or why it first grew. Cancer has affected many families in industrialized western countries over the last few years and people everywhere are asking the same question; why is there so much now and why aren’t they curing people? As reported in the New York Times newspaper recently, deaths from cancer over the last 55 years up until 2005 and adjusted for population growth has only fallen by 5 percent. For the last 40 years, we have been told that a breakthrough or cure for cancer is just around the corner, yet our current ways of treating it have made little change to the number of people dying of the disease. The stories we hear in our local papers and especially on the television are, we are slowly winning the war against the disease and our medical researchers will eventually find a solution to the problem. Cancer research is being carried out around the world and it will only be a matter of time before they have the answers to the problem. The facts are, they have been telling us this for years and yet the truth is they are no closer to finding a cure than they were back in the early 70s. Don't believe the hype that the pharmaceutical industry and medical establishment are looking for new cancer cures. Sure, they are looking but only for a drug they can profit from. The medical establishment could have a much higher cure rate for cancer tomorrow if they really wanted to by incorporating genuine ways in treating the disease but our present day treatments have become big business and are a lot more profitable than curing it. Ask yourself where we get information about cancer on both its prevention or the progress being made today and the answer is our local newspapers and the television set. Did anyone stop to think that the millions of dollars given to the media every year for advertising by pharmaceutical companies which are the most profitable industries on earth might influence what the media is saying about the cancer industry? The only stories we hear now days are all about the successes with their treatments and we are certainly not being informed about their many failures. What they don’t want you to find out is, there is a way to cure all cancers but no one can profit from it. The cure for cancer is simply removing the reasons why it first grew and let the body heal which it will do. Correct the reasons which caused it by eating real food which is food in its natural state and also get some exercise. We certainly don’t need an expensive drug or a pill to assist us in doing that. The entire problem with the cancer industry is they are only treating symptoms and that’s often of little help. There is no point in removing any cancer growth if it’s going to return again. What somebody needs is changes with the way many of us now live which has caused these growths to appear instead of living as we are supposed to which will not only keep us free of the problem but reverse any cancer you may be dealing with. Of course nobody is going to get rich by telling you how to live naturally and that is by eating freshly grown food, exercise everyday, drink water instead of sugary drinks, getting a little sunshine without applying chemicals to your skin and make sure you get plenty of rest and sleep. Surgery and radiation are profitable treatments and chemotherapy is enormously profitable. We do not need to fear cancer for we have a vast array of specialized cells within our immune system that protect us from the disease. All we need to do is to take care of these cells by living as nature intended and you do that by taking responsibility for your own health. Nutrition and other lifestyle factors are fundamental in regaining your health. Alan Wighton is an experienced natural therapist specializing in nutrition.

Basics of Rotator Cuff Injuries
by Dr. Richard Edelson

Physicians see more rotator cuff injuries than almost any other musculoskeletal injury. A patient with a rotator cuff injury will experience pain and weakness in the shoulder, but not swelling. Sometimes the patient does not have symptoms. Usually, though, the patient will have increased weakness and pain when active. This is especially true when raising the arm higher than shoulder level. Fortunately, there are quite a few treatments available for rotator cuff injury. The type of treatment that is suitable would depend upon the patient's age and the type of injury experienced.

Rotator cuff injuries occur in two ways. You could either have rotator cuff tendonitis or a rotator cuff tear. It is important to realize that there are a few other conditions that can cause the type of pain one experiences with a rotator cuff injury. For an accurate diagnosis, you will need to see your physician. The first step your physician will take is a physical examination. Following the examination, your doctor may inject your injured shoulder with a local anesthetic. This process will help your doctor in determining exactly what kind of injury you have. If your doctor decides that you have a rotator cuff tear, he or she may send you for some imaging tests. Imaging tests will help pinpoint the location of the injury and confirm whether or not the injury is a tear.

Rotator cuff tendonitis is more common than rotator cuff tear, but the treatment is similar for both. Rest, ice, compression and elevation, also known as RICE therapy, is prescribed for both conditions. Your doctor may also tell you to take an over-the-counter pain medication like ibuprofen. You may also be referred to a physical therapist who will help you to understand how to modify your activities to avoid pain and may also give you instructions on exercises to help strengthen your shoulder. If these measures don't help, your doctor may give you a shot of a steroid/anesthetic mix. This injection will be made directly into the joint to help address your pain.

This sort of non-surgical intervention usually has a 50-50 chance of being effective. If it is to work, you will probably see results in 6 - 12 weeks. Using non-invasive techniques of this sort can be good in a number of ways. When you do not have surgery, you also do not have recovery time. Furthermore, you do not experience any of the risks commonly associated with surgery such as complications caused by anesthesia, permanent stiffening of the joint, or infection. One thing to realize, however, is that this approach can cause the original tear to increase in size. Additionally, even though there is not a set recovery time, you will be operating at less than your usual ability until you have completely recovered. Aside from these considerations is the fact that non-invasive techniques may not be effective. You may end up having surgery after all. If your injury is quite severe, your doctor may bypass the non-invasive option and recommend surgery right from the start.

When rotator cuff injury is treated with surgery, there are generally three options.

The method that allows the surgeon to operate most freely is called open repair surgery. This method utilizes a full incision in the shoulder. This option can leave a rather large scar.

Another method that utilizes both an incision and arthroscopy is called mini-open repair surgery. This is an outpatient procedure in which the surgeon makes a smaller incision and uses an arthroscope to see the interior of the shoulder structure. This procedure leaves a much smaller scar.

The third method is known as all arthroscopic surgery. This is the simplest option in that it is an outpatient procedure, and it also leaves the smallest scar.

The doctor will determine which procedure will work best based on the specific injury.

The majority of patients who have rotator cuff surgery experience a decrease in pain and an increase in ROM (range of motion) within four to six months following surgery. In fact, eighty to ninety-five percent of people who have this surgery report satisfaction with the results.

The expertise of the surgeon is a very important factor in the successful outcome of the surgery. However, there are some variables to keep in mind when considering speed and success of recovery. Among them are the type of tear, tissue quality, the patients age, and the amount the patient complies with the doctors instructions.

Some patients experience complications from surgery; however, these are rare. One to two percent may experience nerve injury. Approximately one percent may contract infection. Less than one percent may have detachment of the deltoid muscle. Less than one percent may experience stiffness. Tendon re-tear is experienced by approximately six percent of patients.
