Get to know melanoma and Natural Treatments7-14-08
Melanoma is the most life-threatening type of skin cancer. This disease is
diagnosed in more than 50,000 people each year in the United States, according
to the National Cancer Institute.
The prevalence of melanoma in the US has doubled in the past 30 years.
What is melanoma?
Melanoma is a type of skin cancer. It begins in cells in the skin called
melanocytes, the pigment cells. When the disease starts in the skin, it is
called cutaneous melanoma. When it occurs in the eye, it is called ocular
melanoma or intraocular melanoma. Melanoma can occur in other areas, but rarely.
In men, melanoma is often found on the trunk (the area between the shoulders and
the hips) or the head and neck. In women, it often occurs on the lower legs.
What are the causes for melanoma?
No one knows exactly what causes melanoma. Doctors can seldom explain why one
person develops the disease while another does not.
However, some possible risk factors have been established including a type of
mole called dysplastic nevi, a high number of ordinary moles (more than 50),
fair skin, personal history of melanoma or skin cancer, family history of the
disease, weakened immune system, severe, blistering sunburns and ultraviolet
(UV) radiation.
What are the signs suggesting that a lesion may be melanoma?
Melanoma often looks ugly in terms of its shape and color. People can make a
sound judgment based the so called ABCD rules.
A means asymmetry: The shape of one half does not match the other.
B means border: The edges of melanoma are often ragged, notched, blurred
or irregular and the pigment may spread into the surrounding skin.
C means color: The color is uneven.
D means diameter: Melanomas are often larger than the eraser of a pencil
(5 millimeter or 1/4 inch.)
Can melanoma spread to other organs?
Melanoma can spread to other organs. When melanoma spreads, its cells can show
up in lymph nodes and when the cancer cells reach the lymph nodes, they may have
spread to other parts of the body such as the liver, lungs, or brain and develop
metastatic melanoma in those organs.
How can melanoma be diagnosed clinically?
When a doctor suspects a spot on the skin is melanoma, he may order a biopsy,
which is the only way to make a definite diagnosis.
How is melanoma staged?
Once the diagnosis is melanoma, the doctor would have to determine the stage of
the disease before planning treatment. The stage of the disease will determine
the way how a patient gets treated. The doctor may stage the disease based on
whether melanoma cells have spread to nearby lymph nodes or other parts the
body. The doctors may also do physical exam, chest x-rays, blood tests and scans
of the liver, bones and brain for the staging. There are a total of five stages
from stage 0 to stage IV.
How is melanoma treated?
Treatment for melanoma depends on the stage of the disease, the patient's age
and general health and other factors. Treatment may be managed by a team of
specialists including a dermatologist, surgeon, medical oncologist, radiation
oncologist and plastic surgeon.
Treatments for melanoma include surgery, chemotherapy, biological therapy or
radiation therapy. Treatments may also include symptom management, supportive
care or palliative care, which are used to control and manage pain and other
symptoms.
Comment:
Many media hounds keep saying the sun causes cancer. When actually it is lack of sun causing melanoma. If melanoma is found mostly the areas that never see the sun, that should be the first clue. People in America are getting less sun than even their parents did! We spend all our times indoors and rarely even get the required 30 minutes a day to get our 200 mg's. This vitamin D deficiency starts to take its toll and causes less melatonin to be produced; making you cranky and strung out on sleep meds. And most people think that's the only drawback to not getting sun everyday. But as melanoma statistics prove: the rates are skyrocketing the more the media scares us out of the sun! Maybe they are in cahoots with drug companies to keep their coffers full. What's the most popular commercials right now, seen every commercial break: Drugs!
I am not trying to sound like a crazy conspiracy theory nut, but fallow the money, Honey! As far as melanoma treatment goes; it's expensive, horrible, ineffective, and depressing.
What can you do naturally about melanoma?
Pre-Cancer
It really depends what stage you are in. If you have a mole that is suspicious have a doctor send a sample to the lab. If it comes back negative you still have time to make the required lifestyle changes to keep from getting it. If you cant' get sunshine every day than take 400 mg vitamin D that night. Keep your liver clean. Toxic liver is the cause of or aggravation of most cancers. Take all our free Toxicity tests and see what you can do to improve. Last but not least, start fallowing the suggestions in Easy Solutions For Healthier Living and all the information on this site.
Stage 2
If the test comes back stage 2 you have a little time to work. Follow the above suggestion and start to treat all suspicious moles or the area they were in before they were removed. Mix in a 5ml dropper bottle 1/2 oregano and 1/2 frankincense. put this on the moles/areas once a day. And once a day cover them with Aged Spot Free ointment which is very high in ozone. This will eventually kill the moles and the cancerous cells with them. Don't be surprised if the moles turn black, get crusty or peel; this is all normal healing process. Normally they get this way and then fall off. Continue treatment until the area is healed and your blood tests come back normal. During this time you need high amounts of antioxidants; supplement with Enhanced Life Preserver, Rainbow Vibrance and Field of Greens along with a healthier diet. Avoid all soy or grains.
Stage 3and 4
Your in hot water now but there is always hope. Do all the things listed before but you must now drastically change your diet. Your diet must be completely alkaline. You must eat nothing but fruits and veggies and organic free range meats only if absolutely necessary. Continue on Enhanced Life Preserver, Rainbow Vibrance and Field of Greens but double the normal dose. Get ph tape or strips and make sure your are as alkaline as possible! A Water Ionizer can be an essential tool for cancer health. Take 5 drops of cinnamon essential oil in a gelatin capsule a day. Cinnamon has been shown to stop the spread of melanoma. Have a friend, massage therapist or chiropractor use the Rejuvenation Technique with Bella Mira Cinnamon, Artemisinin, Bergamot, Niaouli, Sage, Fortitude and Purifying. If they need instructions they can contact Dr. Beth Dupree.
Important: See some sort of Cancer Professional during your illness, do not attempt to do it on your own. At least get checked to make sure the cancer is responding to your treatments. All of these suggestions work beautifully in conjunction with traditional cancer treatment.
Often overlooked is the spiritual needs of the cancer patient. This is a time to make things right with family and friends, find the right spiritual path for your self, rethink your life and is it really what you want and does it fulfill you, remove anything in your life that is negative or causes bitterness, these emotions can cause and aggravate cancer, and take time by yourself to relax and remember how precious life is.
Stay away from negative people and keep the strength of will that you will beat this, your body was designed by God to do that! Surround yourself with positive people and get a cancer buddy who has been there and you can call anytime of night if you need help.
