A terrible diagnosis: cancer.We are afraid of this disease, there are too many fatal outcomes. Why does this word bring horror and phobias? Is there a cure for cancer, how to live on if a malignant tumor is recognized? Why does it occur and are there ways to prevent cancer? Cancer is a cellular mutation, the degeneration of epithelial tissue cells (skin, glandular tissue, mucous membranes). Almost every organ can develop a cancerous tumor. Cancer is a generalized name (there are about 200 types of this disease: sarcomas, melanomas, teratomas, lymphogranulomatosis, etc.)
Rumors about a cancer disease
As one of the most mysterious diseases, cancerhas become overgrown with many myths. Rumors periodically arise that a cure for cancer has been found, that cancer has been defeated. Let's talk about this terrible disease, about the numerous rumors that circulate around this disease.
- Cancer is the most dangerous disease
In fact, cancer is not considered the mosta terrible disease. Absolutely all people get sick and sooner or later die. Half of all deaths from diseases are heart attacks and strokes. In these statistics, cancer accounts for only 17%.
- Our ancestors did not know what a cancer is
Malignant tumors have always existed andall times. Consider that the average life expectancy used to be about 40 years, most deaths were simply not diagnosed. Nowadays, with the development of medicine, diagnostics more accurately determine the cause of death, so it seems that cancer is a disease of our time.
- Cancer is not treated
Cancer is treatable in many wayscases. Cancer recovery depends on timely diagnosis and treatment at the early stages of cancer. According to statistics, about 3% of the population of all developed countries lives with treated cancer and half of them are considered completely cured. Most types of cancer are completely cured at the early stages of the onset of the disease.
- The most effective means are non-traditional treatments
We will always believe in miracles.But oncologists, relying on inexorable statistics, consider witch doctors and folk healers to be killers of cancer. The results of treatment by pseudo-doctors are disappointing and in 100% of cases it is death. Biologically active additives have never been considered medicines, and they do not save from cancer! The only benefit they bring is an improvement in the general condition of the sick person's body. Dietary supplements are natural immunomodulators and nothing more. A mixture of grape wine and poisonous mercury salt (mercuric chloride) has been successfully sold in our country since the 90s of the last century. After a thorough check, it turned out that this alleged medicine has no effect. But swindlers continue to profit from people who are clutching at the last straw to get rid of cancer.
- Cancer can be inherited
It is not the cancer itself that can be inherited, butgenetic predisposition to it. In oncology, there is even a special term "cancer family". In some families, an increased number of cases of malignant tumors is tracked. Hereditary predisposition to intestinal, stomach, and breast cancer has been proven. Specific genes have been identified, the presence of which explains the susceptibility of some people to cancer.
- Cancer is a contagious disease
This is not true. It is impossible to get cancer.The only virus that is transmitted from person to person and can cause a malignant tumor is the papilloma virus. Clinical trials of a vaccine against this virus have recently begun, and it is possible that papilloma will be completely defeated in the near future.
- A benign tumor always degenerates into a malignant
This option is possible, but fortunately, itQuite rare. Benign intestinal tumors, gastric polyps and breast fibroadenomas, as well as simple papillomas and moles and birthmarks of large sizes should cause increased attention.
Cancer and Aspirin
Medical literature began to appearresearch data on the effect of aspirin on the formation of cancerous tumors. In fact, the use of aspirin significantly reduces the likelihood of cancer. This is especially true for malignant tumors of the breast in women, stomach, lungs and intestines. The secret of aspirin is not yet fully understood. Scientists' conclusions are based only on research and observations. And there is no specific answer to the question: is aspirin a cure for cancer or just prevention. This drug is still being studied and researched. But doctors warn that the use of aspirin has many side effects. It is contraindicated for patients with stomach ulcers and gastritis, since aspirin irritates the gastric mucosa. Aspirin can also cause internal bleeding. Therefore, taking this medicine should be strictly under the supervision of a physician.
Phytotherapy in the fight against cancer
Sometimes herbal medicine is the last hopepatient. If oncologists refuse to conduct chemotherapy or radical surgery (for example, in an advanced and inoperable case), a terminally ill person remembers herbal medicine. Naturally, no herbs can completely cure cancer. But the correct use of certain plants can bring tangible relief and prolong the life of a sick person. Many unique effective anti-cancer drugs are obtained from plants. Herbal medicine can even reduce the size of a tumor and prevent the development of precancerous conditions. Medicinal herbs normalize the content of mineral salts, vitamins and biologically active substances in the body. This is important before chemotherapy and radiation. In total, more than 120 plants are known to help in the treatment of cancer. But among them there are no completely harmless and innocuous ones. There are a number of especially dangerous, poisonous plants. If you try to practice herbal medicine yourself, without the proper experience and knowledge, you can provoke an even greater development of a malignant tumor. It is necessary to use medicinal plants with great caution, especially when it comes to cancer treatment. Do not self-medicate under any circumstances! Follow the advice and recommendations of an experienced herbalist. Unfortunately, in modern medicine there is still no clear opinion on how to prevent the development of malignant tumors. We really hope that a cure for breast cancer, blood cancer, stomach cancer, skin cancer, etc. will soon appear on the shelves of our pharmacies. Take care of yourself and carefully monitor your health! We recommend reading:
