Quick Recap on Cancer Disease

Key Facts

• Cancer is a group of diseases involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body.
• Over 100 types of cancers affect humans.
• About one-third of cancer deaths are due to the five leading behavioral and dietary risks: high body mass index, low fruit and vegetable intake, physical inactivity, tobacco use, alcohol use and are therefore preventable.
• Lung, Colorectal, Stomach, Liver and Breast cancers cause the most cancer deaths each year.
• Tobacco use is the cause of about 22% of cancer deaths. Another 10% are due to obesity, poor diet, lack of physical activity or excessive drinking of alcohol.
• Other factors include certain infections, exposure to ionizing radiation, and environmental pollutants.
• Cancer causing infections such as HBV/HCV and HPV are responsible for up to 25% of cancer cases in low- and middle-income countries.
• Approximately 5–10% of cancers are due to inherited genetic defects.
• Cancer can be detected by certain signs and symptoms or screening tests. It is then typically further investigated by medical imaging.
• In Electro Homoeopathy treatment Biopsy is dangerous for cancer patients so we suggest don’t go for this investigation. CT scan investigation is enough to confirm cancer in patients.
• The chance of survival depends on the type of cancer and extent of disease at the start of treatment.
• The most frequent types of cancer differ between men and women.
• More than 60% of world’s total new annual cases occur in Africa, Asia and Central and South America. These regions account for 70% of the world’s cancer deaths.
Cancer is a generic term for a large group of diseases that can affect any part of the body. Other terms used are malignant tumors and neoplasms. One defining feature of cancer is the rapid creation of abnormal cells that grow beyond their usual boundaries, and which can then invade adjoining parts of the body and spread to other organs; the latter process is referred to as metastasis. Metastases are the primary cause of death from cancer.
According to Electro Homoeopathy, cancer is the result of vitiation of two essential fluids of human body, lymph and blood due to various known and unknown factors. Even though being a local disease it is concerned with the whole body, because impurity of food, air and water restricts the adequate supply of both oxygen (Cancer cells often are starved of Oxygen — a condition is called Hypoxia) and essential nutrients to cells causing vitiation of these two fluids resulting in arrest of two body mechanisms i.e. apoptosis and autophagy.
Due to disturbance of normal functioning of these two mechanisms lead to a persistent accumulation of dead cells that later take the form of a tumor. These tumors sometimes outgrow the network of those blood vessels which are meant to supply oxygen to other cells that further promotes surrounding cells to die. Generally in the initial period these tumor are benign or non malignant but due to patient negligence or wrong diagnosis or treatment, they get converted into malignant or cancerous tumors. In other words we can say that the primary driving forces behind cancerous growth are over exposure to toxins combined with an inability to remove them, and chronic under nutrition. Increased level of toxin makes cell environment Acidic, which become the primary cause for unbearable pain in cancer.
Today, even after advancement in medical researches various medical systems haven’t been able to bring in a reliable and decisive treatment to solve the mystery of cancer. But on the basis of the above mentioned principle of Electro Homoeopathy, using our Electro Homoeopathic medicine, we have been able to remove pain and inflammation of cancer within few minutes, which occurred due to disturbance in above described mechanism. In the case of cancer, removing toxins from the body will drastically increase our healing potential. One of the most powerful ways of increasing your defenses against toxins is optimizing the health of your digestive tract, liver and kidneys. This is the key to ensure you don’t develop cancer growth.
The problem
Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for nearly 10 million deaths in 2020 (1). The most common in 2020 (in terms of new cases of cancer) were:
• Breast (2.26 million cases);
• Lung (2.21 million cases);
• Colon and Rectum (1.93 million cases);
• Prostate (1.41 million cases);
• Skin (non-melanoma) (1.20 million cases); and
• Stomach (1.09 million cases).
(2). The most common causes of cancer death in 2020 were:
• Lung (1.80 million deaths);
• Colon and Rectum (935 000 deaths);
• Liver (830 000 deaths);
• Stomach (769 000 deaths); and
• Breast (685 000 deaths).
What causes cancer?
Cancer arises from the transformation of normal cells into tumor cells in a multi-stage process that generally progresses from a pre-cancerous lesion to a malignant tumor. These changes are the result of the interaction between a person’s genetic factors and three categories of external agents, including:
• Physical carcinogens, such as ultraviolet and ionizing radiation;
• Chemical carcinogens, such as asbestos, components of tobacco smoke, aflatoxin (a food contaminant), and arsenic (a drinking water contaminant); and
• Biological carcinogens, such as infections from certain viruses, bacteria, or parasites.
WHO, through its cancer research agency, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), maintains a classification of cancer-causing agents.
The incidence of cancer rises dramatically with age, most likely due to a build-up of risks for specific cancers that increase with age. The overall risk accumulation is combined with the tendency for cellular repair mechanisms to be less effective as a person grows older.
Risk factors for cancers
Tobacco use, alcohol use, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity and air pollution are risk factors for cancer (and other non-communicable diseases).
Some chronic infections are risk factors for cancer; this is a particular issue in in low- and middle-income countries. Approximately 13% of cancers diagnosed in 2018 globally were attributed to carcinogenic infections, including Helicobacter pylori, human papillomavirus (HPV), hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus, and Epstein-Barr virus (3).
Hepatitis B and C viruses and some types of HPV increase the risk for liver and cervical cancer, respectively. Infection with HIV substantially increases the risk of cancers such as cervical cancer.
Reducing the cancer burden
Between 30 and 50% of cancers can currently be prevented by avoiding risk factors and implementing existing evidence-based prevention strategies. The cancer burden can also be reduced through early detection of cancer and appropriate treatment and care of patients who develop cancer. Many cancers have a high chance of cure if diagnosed early and treated appropriately.
Preventing cancer
Cancer risk can be reduced by:
• Not using tobacco;
• Maintaining a healthy body weight;
• Eating a healthy diet, including fruit and vegetables;
• Doing physical activity on a regular basis;
• Avoiding harmful use of alcohol;
• Getting vaccinated against HPV and hepatitis B if you belong to a group for which vaccination is recommended;
• Avoiding ultraviolet radiation (which primarily results from exposure to the sun);
• Reducing exposure (as far as is possible) to ionizing radiation (through occupational or medical diagnostic imaging); and
• Reducing exposure to outdoor air pollution and indoor air pollution, including radon (a radioactive gas produced from the natural decay of uranium. Exposure to radon can occur in homes and buildings).
Early detection
Cancer mortality can be reduced if cases are detected and treated early. There are two components of early detection:
Early diagnosis
When identified early, cancer is more likely to respond to treatment and can result in a greater probability of survival and less morbidity, as well as less expensive treatment. Significant improvements can be made in the lives of cancer patients by detecting cancer early and avoiding delays in care.
Early diagnosis consists of three components:
• Being aware of the symptoms of different forms of cancer and of the importance of seeking medical advice if you are concerned;
• Access to clinical evaluation and diagnostic services; and
• Timely referral to treatment services.
Early diagnosis of symptomatic cancers is relevant in all settings and the majority of cancers. Cancer programs should be designed to reduce delays in, and barriers to, diagnosis, treatment and care.
Screening
Screening aims to identify individuals with findings suggestive of a specific cancer or pre-cancer before they have developed symptoms. When abnormalities are identified during screening, further tests to establish (or not) a diagnosis should follow, as should referral for treatment if needed.
Screening programs are effective for some but not all cancer types and in general are far more complex and resource-intensive than early diagnosis as they require special equipment and dedicated personnel.
Patient selection for screening programs is based on age and risk factors to avoid excessive false positive studies. Examples of screening methods are:
• HPV testing for cervical cancer;
• The PAP cytology test for cervical cancer;
• Visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) for cervical cancer; and
• Mammography screening for breast cancer in settings with strong or relatively strong health systems.
Quality assurance is required for both screening and early diagnosis programs.
Treatment
A correct cancer diagnosis is essential for appropriate and effective treatment because every cancer type requires a specific treatment regimen. In Electro Homoeopathy, Treatment is quite friendly with patients. We never suggest for radiotherapy, chemotherapy and/or surgery. Determining the goals of treatment is an important first step. The primary goal is generally to cure cancer or to considerably prolong life. Improving the patient’s quality of life is also an important goal. This can be achieved by support for the patient’s physical, psychosocial and spiritual well-being and palliative care in terminal stages of cancer.
Some of the most common cancer types, such as breast cancer, cervical cancer, oral cancer, and colorectal cancer, have high cure rates when detected early and treated according to best practices.
Some cancer types, such as testicular seminoma and different types of leukaemia and lymphoma in children, also have high cure rates if appropriate treatment is provided, even when cancerous cells are present in other areas of the body.
