Mesothelioma is a form of cancer that’s nearly always caused by getting exposed to asbestos. In this illness, malignant cells develop in the mesothelium, a protecting lining that covers almost all of the body’s internal organs. Its most common site is the pleura ( outer liner of the lungs and internal chest wall ), but it may also occur in the peritoneum ( the liner of the intestinal cavity ), the heart, the pericardium ( a sac that surrounds the heart ) or tunica vaginalis.

A five year scale is used to calculate mesothelioma survival by the experts of the field. Statistics show that only ten percent of the total patients diagnosed with mesothelioma cancer have reached the target of five years. Mesothelioma survival is based on a couple of varied factors. Some of them are age and general health conditions of the patient, the stage of cancer, and the area affected by the infection.

The chances of mesothelioma survival can be enhanced by vigorous and continued treatment. Depending on the response of the patient to the treatment chances of survival also varies. The treatment success is controlled by various factors. The most important thing is that success depends upon the stage of the cancer at the time of diagnosis. If the disease is detected early, the chances of survival and cure are more. The third and fourth stages have very little chances of survival, whereas the first and the second stages can be healed through chemotherapy and surgery.

The size of the tumor, the area in which it is formed, the level of excess fluid accumulated in the abdomen or chest, the age and general health level of the patient and the cell structure and type of cancer cells are the other important aspects that determine mesothelioma survival. There are mainly three types of mesothelioma cancer. While the first type, the pleural mesothelioma, affects the membranous sac lining the abdomen, the second, peritoneal cancer attacks the abdominal cavity and accounts to about seventy five percent and twenty percent respectively. But the third one, the pericardial, which is found in the area around the heart, is much more potent as a killer than the other two.

Alarming conclusions are reached by the medical community, which has analyzed the mesothelioma survival rates for the last few years. It has found that mesothelioma cancer infection is increasing all around the world. Also it has been found that chemotherapy is successful in cases where surgery is not effective. Researches are tirelessly working on more and more efficient strategies to defeat the fatal asbestos cancer, which has already destroyed the peace and happiness of many families by taking away their near and dear ones. The new treatment techniques invented give a fresh lease of hope for the victims.

So in this blog about helpful hints for quitting smoking it seems oddly appropriate to speak about my dad, who passed away last week. He was not a smoker, so that was not the issue. But the one thing I have to say is that for the past few years he was truly not enjoying his life.

As I watched my dad in his last years I saw a weary, dreary life. Songs and jokes he had once loved to spout were gone from him. His ability to do skits and act in silly ways was no longer present. Even the food he had once greatly enjoyed had lost its flavor inside of his illnesses. He was, in short, deprived of all that he loved in life.

Now it may seem odd to talk about this in a blog entitled “Helpful Hints for Quitting Smoking.” So I will tell you that I consider this blog to be more along the lines of an inquiry- and I do not have all the answers.

Now one could argue that I am an expert on addictions, and why people do what they do, as they do it. And one could argue that I am an expert on how people can shift their behavior. But in the final analysis, neither I nor anyone else can have you quit smoking. It is only you who can do it.

So in this inquiry about quitting smoking I have to take note of the fact that for my dad, and for a lot of people who leave us, it is often true that the heart and soul, or a person’s will to live, is gone. And even though my dad struggled over the idea of leaving the people he loved, there was certainly a large piece of him that was done with the whole business.

And if one has a wish or desire to go, or if one is unfulfilled and not living a life that is happy- Or, worse yet, if one is living in some terminal upset or pain, then all of the trying to quit smoking in the world will not make a difference. There will be present a sort of desire to go that will thwart your every attempt to stay here on this earth. And we all know that smoking has a very real possibility of taking your life in the not too distant future.

Now I don’t claim that everyone who does not quit smoking has a death wish. Far from it. I know the physiological and mental pull that an addiction, any addiction, has on a human being. But I do claim that if your life is not happy, loving, and content- if you are living in some terminal upset, or pain- you’d better deal with it if you want to be successful- regardless of all of my helpful hints for quitting smoking.

So if you are someone in this kind of situation it becomes vital that you A) Be honest with yourself about your unhappiness, and B) Take the steps to begin to create your happiness. This will in turn give you the will to live. And you can do this while you are doing your Neuro-Linguistic Programming, or hypnosis, or whatever you like. You can start the process by visiting my other blogs. My dad, by the way, loved life and he lived to be happy before he became so desperately ill. And you can live that way too, I’m sure.

What does health have to do with car engines? EVERYTHING!

Car engines burn fuel to work, and so does our body. It is a machine with thousands of engines, represented by every cell in our body.

For an engine to function properly, it needs these three things:

- Heat

-Substance to burn

- Oxygen

Remove or have too little of any of these things and the engine won’t work properly. The same thing is true for every single cell in your body.

If heat, substance, or oxygen is lacking, it won’t function properly anymore. You’ve seen those old dread-mobile shake down the road with black smoke coming out of it, and that’s because it lacks any of these three things.

We are now learning more and more that oxygen deprivation causes different conditions. Fibromyalgia, migraine, headaches, vertigo, and dizziness, just to name a few. Some of these conditions are even considered incurable in the traditional medical system.

We’re often focused on eating well (creating good substance to burn), exercising (creating heat to burn this substance) but we forget to fill our cells with oxygen.

There are a number of reasons why we are lacking in oxygen:

Pollution is the most obvious reason. Big cities have become polluted, experts even say that there was twice as much oxygen in the air 50 years ago than now.

Pollution is something we can’t do much about except go where there is less pollution. However, there is something else that we can do…

We can do something about our muscles and our body position, which I’ve said time and time again to be the main reason for our health problems.

Hardly anybody breaths as deeply as he/she should do.

The lungs, surrounded by muscles in the breathing passages and muscles that expands the lungs, become weak and do not help us breath enough air.

This results to poor blood delivery to the cells, which weakens them. This also puts a lot of strain on the heart to make up for it.

The part of the body where the oxygen is lacking the most is where illnesses materialize. Lack of oxygen in the brain causes migraine and headahes, as well as many cases of vertigo and dizziness.

Fibromyalgia is mostly caused by oxygen deprivation in the muscle cells. Cancer can materialize anywhere there is oxygen deprivation.

Increasing oxygen intake has been the main focus of my more recent health programs like the migraine program, vertigo/dizziness program, and the fibromyalgia program.

Negative Effects of Smoking

Even though we have been lectured on bad effects of smoking for over forty years, the sad truth has yet reached the ears of all smokers. Even worse, as thousands of people take up smoking every year, many of them even before they turn 21, this addiction is far from being cured.

Everyone probably knows that smoking damages one’s health, appearance, and image. It is dangerous to your family and workmates (if you smoke at work), inhaling smoke is not a pleasant feeling, and your clothes and you start to stink to heavens after only a few weeks of smoking. However, this is only the beginning of what happens to smokers. The whole truth is known only to few people - not because it’s secret, but because it is so hard to believe in all bad things we do to ourselves by smoking.

Smoking Kills. Really

The facts can’t be contested. Every year there are over four hundred thousand casualties of smoking a year in the United States alone. This is almost a hundred times more than died at the WTC attack and ten times more than the US has lost during the 6-year war with terrorism. The moment a smoker lits his or her cigarette, he or she inhales almost five thousand dangerous chemicals. 69 of those compounds are known to be carcinogenic. The risk is practical - over three quarters of lung cancer fatalities in the US is the direct effect of smoking.

Heart diseases are another problems caused or at least strengthened by the cigarette smoke. Strokes and coronary health illnesses are but two examples of a much wider notion. The chances of having a stroke increases greatly both for cigarette smokers and the second-hand smokers who only breathe in the smoke for other people’s cigarettes.

Another problem is the health of children. If a woman smokes during pregnancy, or if she spends a lot of time around smokers, the child will probably develop heart problems and smaller lungs. To tell the truth, this is not even a chance, but a certainty. Those children who apparently do not suffer from such problems had a potential of being extremely healthy sportsmen. They lost that chance only because their mothers inhaled cigarette smoke.

Smokers’ deaths are only the beginning…

Most smokers however will claim that all those risks of death are just a chance, and they are ready to take it for the cigarette’s sake. The problem is that some bad thing happen to every smoker. You may live for a long time even if you’re a chain-smoker. However, you will look like a death warmed up for the better part of your life - and this can’t be helped. It’s not the statistics, it is the real life.

The teeth are the first victim of smoking. As the cigarette smoke tar sticks to the teeth, it changes their color into an ugly yellowish shade of brown. At the same time cigarette smoke prevents blood from nourishing the gums, slowly but inevitably making them weak. This may effect in swelling and mouth inflammation, but most importantly it makes gums to grow weaker and weaker with every passing year, making it impossible for them to act as the teeth support.

Change of color however, is only the first sign of coming problems. On average 18-year-old smokers lose five teeth before they turn 35. Other dental problems are also sad reality, especially that smoking slows down the healing process as inhaling the smoke prevents blood from circulating freely in the gums and mouth. Effect? Every extraction bears a real risk of the so-called dry-socket - a week of excruciating pain and great risk of infection. The risk is carried by both first- and second-hand smokers (though the latter are in slightly better position).

Compared to teeth loss and dry-socket problems other “niceties” of smoking look trivial. Nevertheless, they are also infuriating as well as 100% sure to show up. The changes include losing color by your skin, thinning of hair and its breaking off, and the terrible stink surrounding you, your clothes and your stuff. Even though you may not notice it at first - the change takes months and it’s not easy to spot a difference building up during so long time - other people will see it for sure. So, if you notice that people start distance from you during parties or try not to sit next to you, it is probably either due to the odor they smell or to your weary and unattractive look. Either way, do not blame them - you have done it to yourself.

Now you know everything. The dark side of smoking: a few hundred thousand deaths, teeth problems, loss of good appearance and stink. Everyone with at least something between ears can do only one thing: stop smoking! While the withdrawal symptoms may be painful especially for heavy smokers, Cig-Arette is able to give them a hand and minimize negative sides of giving up. The nutritional supplements it contains will improve your health condition in no time.

Alternative Cancer Treatment

Cancer can be a scary thing and it cannot be cured in every case, but there are alternative cancer treatments available that can complement traditional therapies like chemotherapy, radiation, and pharmaceuticals that don’t have near the debilitating side effects. In some cases, it is true that the treatment is worse than the disease. Cancer treatments have progressed in the past few years, but most people that undergo traditional cancer treatment experience side effects such as weight loss, lack of appetite, hair loss, or secondary infections that take over due to immune system suppression. These side effects and complications can range from mild to very serious, and depend on a lot of different factors. Each individual has a unique experience with cancer and the treatment regimens prescribed. Some experience horrific side effects, and others tolerate it quite well and suffer very little from treatment, and many don’t even know that alternative cancer treatments are available.

Most alternative cancer treatments have few or no side effects and work well as an adjunct to current therapeutic regimens, which is why it is a viable and attractive option to people who are looking for a different approach in treating their disease. Of course, there are many scams and alternative treatment therapies out there that are nothing but placebos, which could do a person more harm than good. If you or a loved one are considering an alternative cancer treatment, be sure to research it thoroughly first before you commit. Keep in mind that most traditional cancer treatment specialists will not have much good to say about alternative cancer treatments and vice versa. This attitude reflects the traditional Western approach to medicine, that diseases must be cured by manufactured pharmaceuticals and toxic chemical treatments only, aside from the fact that these treatment modalities may be more detrimental in the long run and not eradicate the cancer completely. Don’t get me wrong, many cancer patients have had good outcomes using traditional science and cancer treatments, but unfortunately this is not the case for everyone, and what type of hell did these people go through during their treatment, and were they aware of alternative cancer treatments?

Alternative cancer treatments are another viable option available to people who suffer from most any type of cancer at any stage. Some people have had amazing results, which isn’t to say that everyone will, but the option is there. For more in depth information on alternative cancer treatments visit www.alternative-cancer-treatments.com, www.quackwatch.org, www.immunemedicine.com, www.cancertutor.com, www.cancer.org, and www.cancersociety.com. If you or a loved one is diagnosed with cancer, learn all you can about the all treatment options available, including alternative cancer treatments.
