Cancer treatment and testing: diagnostic methods and new studies

If you are being tested or treated for cancer, you should know about new research on diagnostic methods. Watch this video to find out if your colonoscopy is effective, or if your breast cancer treatment can use the new device:


The most reliable way to Prevent Cancer is with healthy lifestyle habits. Regular exercise and nutritious eating are the key to cancer prevention.

Cancer-fighting cells duplicated to eliminate skin cancer

There are many studies revealing new cancer treatments these days. Alot of emphasis on treatment. For skin cancer, one research lab extracted cancer-fighting cells from a late-stage cancer patient and duplicated them in a lab. A few billion cells later, the cancer vanished. Watch this video for more:



Although cancer rates have been steadily growing, there have been many reports lately that vitamin D deficiency is pervasive in the U.S. So, it's important to monitor how much sun we are getting.
For bone strength, and warding off certain types of cancer, experts recommend anywhere from 10-60 minutes of sun exposure each day.

Deep burns and repeat sunburns should be prevented. A little sun can be cancer-preventive, but too much, all at once, should be avoided for better health.

Exercise, Diet, Yoga reverse Cancer in Dr. Dean Ornish study

It is no secret that regular exercise, nutritious eating, meditation and yoga are great for your health. But this study shows that they are powerful enough to reverse the course of cancer!

As Dr. Dean Ornish says, the body is more dynamic than we thought. Watch this video for more (then read on, below):



And what I find amazing about the results of the study was that the program suggested a mere 30 minutes of exercise daily! 30 minutes!

How many Americans who are facing death by cancer can't find 30 minutes for exercise every day?

Dr. Ornish describes how you can genetically alter your body to reverse cancer. He studied men with prostate cancer. He says these same tactics can be helpful in reversing other forms of cancer, too, such as breast cancer.

In the past, we have seen research studies that demonstrate how an exercising group were less likely to get cancer than non-exercising groups. And how research participants who ate healthy low-fat, vegetarian diets were less likely to get cancer than their study counterparts who ate less healthy foods.
But Dr. Dean Ornish's study is very different...
He studies men who already had been diagnosed with cancer. This study takes exercise from prevention to treatment status. This is significant, and of vital importance to anyone recently diagnosed with cancer!

This study is amazing, and it shows how, truly, Exercise is Medicine!
