A pancreatic cancer prognosis always sounds more like a death sentence than any kind of prognosis. Unfortunately the only pancreatic cancer symptom that is usually noticed, is the prognosis. Pancreatic cancer rarely gets caught early due to it’s rather vague, and all too common symptoms. Statistically in more than 80% of patients the tumor has already spread and cannot be completely removed at the time of diagnosis. This cancer has a 5-year survival rate of less than 5%, meaning 95% of the people diagnosed with it, will not be alive 5 years later.

Death row inmates have it better if you consider they know exactly when they’re going to die, and they don’t have to suffer nearly as much as those with pancreatic cancer do. Coupled with endless torture from their doctors in the form of test and treatments, I would have to say death row inmates not only live longer, but also die a more peaceful death than pancreatic cancer patients.

You have my utmost sympathy if you or someone you love has been given the dubious distinction of receiving a pancreatic cancer prognosis. In my opinion knowing you have a 95% chance of being dead in five years or less is such discouraging news, that if it were me, I’d rather not bother with doctors and hospitals. That’s a decision only you can make, but as for actual pancreatic cancer survival, the only answer definitively resides in one place and that is in the realm of alternative cancer treatments. Not only for quality of life if in fact you are going to die, but particularly if there is any hope of truly surviving this extremely life altering disease.

So lets get this straight from the start. If your going to attempt a cure through alternative medicine or natural cures, there’s one thing you need to understand. Due to the nature of this type of cancer and the fact that it is rarely diagnosed until it has already spread to other places in the body, your going to have to go at this as if your life depended on it, which as we both know, it does.

There is more than hope if you first of all educate yourself and immediately start acting on what you’ve learned. The key to killing cancer holistically is to make your body as alkaline as possible. There are so many ways to do this. As you may have found out by now, one of the primary pancreatic cancer causes is the eating of too much red meat and lack of fresh fruits and vegetables. You need to reverse that trend starting now. Take a high quality plant based enzyme with meals of raw fruits and vegetables.

No red meat, no hydrogenated oils, no sugar, no this, no that. The list will grow but more importantly is your lists of do this, do that. Make yourself a program and stick to it. An easy and reliable method for raising your body’s alkalinity is by regularly taking unprocessed apple cider vinegar and baking soda.

Have you left for the store yet? At least a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to a teaspoon of baking soda, three times a day. Wait a minute! That can’t be right. Your right, it might not be so good for your particular situation. The point I’m trying to make is, you, have to do this. Spend some time on the inter-net. Type in natural cures for pancreatic cancer, natural cures for cancer etc. Take notes of what you found out and where, and above all pay attention to what your body is telling you.

Eat, sleep, and breath holistic health remedies for cancer and you will be able to shovel your way out of this horrible situation. If you can afford it, or if your insurance will cover it, go see several naturopathic physicians. Do what they say, and more. Do not rely on any one particular natural remedy as the all in all. Especially with this type of cancer. There are literally hundreds of very good alternative cancer remedies out there and as they are all natural, take them in conjunction with one another. But do it intelligently.

Don’t forget herbs and, supplements, and, and, and! Got the idea? There truly is hope for pancreatic cancer survival, even if you decide to fall for that all too seductive, oncologist peddled offer of chemotherapy. Which is the worst thing you can do in my opinion, but as I said, those are decisions only you can make. Be sure they’re well informed ones. Google up the dangers of chemotherapy, if you have any doubts. But don’t just do nothing! Do exactly as I just said, and do it with a vengeance! It will get easier.

Why listen to someone who was honest enough to tell you they really have nothing for you, even if they do wear a white coat and work in a fifty million dollar hospital? Conventional medicines pancreatic cancer prognosis is nothing more than a disguised death sentence. Just look at the statistics! That’s all I can say for now. My heart definitely goes out to you. Being a typical modern day American I’ve lost seven members of my close family to cancer. None of them opted for alternative treatment and they all died after being horribly tortured by surgeries, chemotherapy, and radiation.

Your reading this so obviously your looking for answers, and you will not be disappointed as long as your not duped into believing modern medicine has the only solutions. If your wanting to be lazy about this, well what can I say? Go ahead and get in the slaughter house line. Everybody else does, it must be right! Not everyone. You’ll find that out if you research this thing even as much as you would buying a new car or a house. But be sure your looking in the right neighborhoods and not just going to one car dealer.

The answer is in alternative medicine although it may not seem as easy as taking pills or reporting to a hospital for surgery and/or chemotherapy treatments, which are guaranteed to totally devastate your already overworked immune system and completely destroy your quality of life. Alternative cancer treatments on the other hand do get results fast, without causing any harmful side affects.

My sincere best wishes to you and your loved ones in your battle with this God awful disease. Don’t forget, God is on your side in this fight. After all it’s only His natural cures that are going to ultimately heal you. The only other natural gift you need to win this battle is your God given intelligence, which you should take constant advantage of.

What is cancer? Cancer, also known as malignancy, is described as an abnormal growth of cells. It can affect any person of any age group in any organ or tissue of the human body. There are more than 100 types of cancer which includes breast cancer, skin cancer, lung cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, liver cancer and lymphoma etc. however the symptoms and signs of cancer are seen according to the type of cancer. It is caused by the abnormalities by some environmental changes in the genetic material of the cell. Causes of cancer Cancer doesn’t have any specific symptoms but still there are few common symptoms in the human body suffering from cancer. They are as follows: Benzene and other chemicals Certain viruses Radiation Sunlight Tobacco Smoking and intake of alcohol These are some of the causes however the causes of cancer are unknown.

Symptoms of cancer

Cancer doesn’t have any specific symptoms and it depends on the cancer like gall bladder cancer doesn’t show any symptoms unless it reaches the advance stage. Liver cancer has symptoms like coughing, chest pain, shortness of breath etc.

Following are some of the common symptoms of cancer.

Chills Fatigue Fever Loss of appetite Malaise Night sweats Weight loss

Understanding the diagnosis of cancer Cancer such as skin Cancer, breast Cancer, mouth Cancer, testicles Cancer, prostate Cancer, and rectum Cancer etc. can be detected by regular examination and screening measures. The testing should be some whenever you find any pain in the body or lymph found in any part of the body. Cancer is detected befor the medical examination of tumor in thebody as some symptoms are almost same and cancer is diagnosed after all the other medical testing in the body. Cancer is examined with thorough study of each part of the body along with the previous medical history. Any abnormalities in Lab studies of blood, urine, and stool are also diagnosed thoroughly. Any abnormalities in these tests can detect cancer. In case tumor is suspected, some test’s like X-rays, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound, and fiberoptic scope examinations helps doctors to easily determine the location and size. For the confirmation of cancer diagnosis, a biopsy is performed: A tissue sample is surgically removed from the suspected part of the body and studied under a microscope to check cancer cells. Treatment of cancer Cancer can be treated according to its type. It is treated according to the stage and the stage is known by the location and size of the tumor and how far it has spread. Cancer requires a combination of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy depending upon the case. Prevention of cancer -Prevention is better than cure- as it is said you should not chew tobacco; smoking and alcohol intake should be avoided. These three things help cancer to develop and is the main cause of lung cancer. Excessive exposure to sunlight is also one of the causes for skin cancer.

Lemongrass as an herb has been used for centuries for its positive health effects. In Ayurvedic medicine, it has been used for relief of menstrual discomfort and nausea. The fresh grass is used in indigenous medicine systems around the world. Recently, the essential oil has been the subject of scientific studies regarding its effects on cancer cells. One of the features of cancer cells is the upset of natural cell death. Lemongrass appears to be effective as a form of chemotherapy, causing cell death to occur as it should: “Our results indicate that the oil has a promising anticancer activity and causes loss in tumor cell viability by activating the apoptotic process”. These studies indicate that Lemongrass essential oil, with its low toxicity, has the potential of being an inexpensive ‘alternative’ treatment in the future.

Several essential oils have been investigated for their anti-cancer effects, most notably Frankincense, Lemongrass, and the common constituent “linalool”, which adds a sweetness to many essential oil varieties. In one study, human cancer cell lines were examined for their susceptability to lemongrass essential oil as a chemotherapeutic agent. In-vivo analysis was also performed using tumor models in mice — which further enhances the investigation by not only providing an in-vitro (test tube) analysis. A previous study examined the cause of cancer cell death, particularly of human leukemia HL-60 cells. The cause of death was determined to be the formation of reactive oxygen species (free radicals) and a loss of mitochondrial membrane stability — leading to a loss of abiltiy of the cells to make their own energy and to defend themselves against oxidative radicals formed during natural metabolic processes.

Electron microscopy identified that the cancer cells had lost their normal surface projections, meaning that the cells were no longer viable because they were unable to intereact with their environment. They could no longer receive nutrients or communicate with other cells nearby. Further, the nuclei of the cells exhibited condensation and fragmentation typical of cell death. The amount of Lemongrass needed to inhibit proliferation of the cancer cells was relatively low, with an IC50 of only 30 micrograms per milliliter.

Lemongrass oil amazingly was effective against all 12 cancer cell lines tested, though some were more susceptable than others. And although isointermedeol was implicated in these first studies as the ‘active’ agent, Israeli researchers reported in the May 2005 publication of Planta Medica that common Citral — a lemon-scented component of MANY essential oils — also induced apoptosis in several cancer cell lines.

This important factor, notably that more than one chemical of the same essential oil can cause cancer cell death, is extremely interested, pointing out the potential for many essential oils to hold promise as anti-cancer therapies. Linalool, for example, has been shown in a recent study to cause cell death of liver cancer cells at very small concentrations. Linalool is found in a great many oils, most notably Lavender, and any oil which there is even a hint of sweetness. Does this mean other constituents do not have this effect, or do not work in concert with Linalool? Certainly not, and it seems most appropriate not to seperate out what science considers the ‘active ingredient’ — there may certainly be more than one, and without extensive examination, it will be difficult to determine the synergy between all the constituents in these highly complex natural mixtures. It is crucial to recognize the importance of true, authentic essential oils, such as those from Ananda Aromatherapy and other manufacturer’s dedicated to the craft, as the foundation of these natural healing compounds. Single chemicals can simply be manufactured in the laboratory, but it is the plant-based complete medicine that can create a harmony within the organ systems and psychology that may in-fact have the greatest healing effect.

The body of evidence of essential oils as cancer treatments continues to grow. One only need search pubmed.gov for ‘essential oils cancer’ to find an extensive list of abstracts to pique one’s interest. As of today, this search produces 409 results. So why the great resistance to utilizing these fantastic medicines? It is a shame that even within the conventional medical community that many MD’s are resistant to suggesting these ‘alternative’ therapies to their patients, even alongside ‘conventional’ treatments. The time for natural medicine has returned, and essential oils can be seen as a cornerstone for these natural therapeutics, given the large body of evidence supporting their use.
