The following article concerning cancer pain being alleviated by the application of ‘positive thoughts’ runs in tandem with my belief that both pain and anxiety can be relieved to an appreciable degree once an individual takes charge of his or her health and well-being, and starts making informed, personal decisions about preferred treatments.

Abdicating personal responsibility for your health and wellness to your doctor or specialist can only increase both anxiety and uncertainty. So why do people it? Perhaps it is the familial remnants of past custom.

There was a time, long, long ago in my distant youth, when a patient was justified in having faith in the decision making processes adopted by the family doctor. Sadly that is no longer the case. There is now far too much at stake for the medical doctor in terms of his or her allegiance to his profession and to the mighty dollar. Which is much of the sameness really. It is all about money these days.

Patients, in the main, are just a number. The only reason the doctor knows your name is because of the admittance form. As for knowing of your medical history, well, if a disease or illness isn’t on the computer screen, then you haven’t had it. Try to convince him/her otherwise.

But I digress with thoughts more negative than positive. The following article evidences positive thoughts to alleviate the pain of cancer and also tiredness. So please check it out, at:

As you probably know folks, the medical fraternity, being to a considerable degree just another mouthpiece for the pharmaceutical industry - as both marketer extraordinaire and purveyor of its chemical poisons - has, for many years propagated the erroneous theory that cancer, including prostate cancer, was genetic. That your own genes were the cause of the cancer and that, in the case of women, it was a safe bet that the surgical removal of the breasts would prevent cancer developing. What balderdash! And how discriminatory. I’ve never heard the same suggested for the prostate, have you?

And no less a fraud, I guess, than the idea that chemotherapy will save you once you have the cancer and that it is worth having regardless of the awful, debilitating, side effects. Such statements ignore the ‘fact’ that less than 5% of cancer’s respond satisfactorily to chemotherapy. A fact that doesn’t stop the cost of chemotherapy rising exponentially with the rise in the incidence of cancer and coincidental to figures showing deaths from cancer are said to be reducing. Though, as I have mentioned before; a good statistician can make the numbers indicate whatever direction, higher or lower, is deemed suitable at the time and for whatever purpose.

It follows therefor, that actual cancer deaths are easily attributed to ‘other causes’ by hospital administrators following the administering of chemotherapy and radiation, and the consequent onset of another major illnesses.

Anyhow, enough from me on this issue. The following article from NaturalNews.com reports on research done in Greece proving quite clearly how the public have been misled by the proponents of ‘cancer in the genes’ theory.

The undermentioned references bring to mind yet again just how beneficial vitamin D is for the prevention of Prostate cancer as well as for its treatment. It is well known that many people dying with prostate cancer have been found sorely deficient in vitamin D.

Fortunate as I am to live in Queensland, where the sun seems to shine 95% of the time, I am able to get ample vitamin D with my twice daily walks, early morning and late afternoon, and yet I still endeavour to sunbathe briefly around lunch time (“Only mad dogs of Englishmen go out in the mid day sun”) to ensure I get the sun to my nether regions for direct application to the prostate area. Not sure of the actual benefit but it sure feels good… grin.

Natural health experts identified the health benefits if vitamin D many years ago and it seems the medical profession is slowly catching up now that many researchers in the scientific world are moving away from their previous, one-eyed, devotion to pharmaceuticals and turning their attention toward finding ‘natural’ cures. Bravo!

The following articles, although unrelated to prostate cancer per se, nevertheless supports the vitamin D thesis.

My recent blogs concerning the proven aid to prostate cancer treatments, flax seed oil and cottage cheese, reminded me that I have not recently mentioned a brilliant package of four e-books covering all aspects of cancer treatments, anecdotal cases histories and information resources that I personally find to be of tremendous value.

This superb down-loadable offer, consists of four e-books:

“Who Can Help Me When I have Cancer?”
“How Successful Are Conventional Cancer Treatments?”
“Natural Cancer Treatments That Work”
“I beat Cancer” (2000 cases of ordinary people getting
rid of their cancer with natural and non-toxic treatments).

Incidentally, on pages 29 to 33 of “Natural Cancer Treatments That Work” there is a full account and description, including diet and regimen details, of Dr. Johanna Budwig’s Flaxseed Oil and Cottage Cheese discovery and its application over many years of successful treatments. Many of these “successful” treatments being with patients given up as lost causes by their treating doctors.

I find the following article both interesting and disturbing. As many readers will know, noscapine, is a non-addictive element of opium and a naturally-occurring substance. The following research shows it has considerable potential as a treatment for prostate cancer. Unfortunately though, the chance of it ever being fully developed for human studies and subsequent use is minimized by the greed of the major pharmaceutical companies who will not develop any naturally occurring substance into a proven product unless they can claim a patent on it. They much prefer to synthesize the substance and develop a drug to do the same thing but one which will also cause side affects, thereby requiring more drugs of different descriptions to be purchased to ameliorate those affects.

We see so much evidence daily now of the greed exhibited by senior executives of major corporations
throughout the world and their sublime indifference to the sensitivities or needs of the societies in which they operate. Over recent years the major tobacco companies have had to bite the bullet and take a few backward steps in their otherwise unbridled onslaught on the health and longevity of their converts. Isn’t it high time that Big Pharma was held to account too. I feel that day is not too far distant!!

Enjoy the article. I’m off to bed….

Cough Medicine Ingredient Could Effectively Treat Prostate Cancer, Study Shows

ScienceDaily (Dec. 21, 2008) — A study published December 18 in the December issue of the European medical journal Anticancer Research demonstrates that an ingredient used in a common cough suppressant may be useful in treating advanced prostate cancer. Researchers found that noscapine, which has been used in cough medication for nearly 50 years, reduced tumor growth in mice by 60% and limited the spread of tumors by 65% without causing harmful side effects.
