Characteristics of Cancer Cells

After the billions spent on research, we now know the following characteristics of cancer  cells. These characteristics are of fundamental importance. All cancer treatments, conventional or otherwise, focus on manipulating the cell and its environment.Knowing the characteristics is therefore a key to winning the cancer war.

Mesothelioma Treatments - Some Basic Facts

Before we discuss about mesothelioma treatments it is important to have an understanding of what is mesothelioma. Mesothelioma is a rare cancer of the linings of lungs and abdominal area caused by exposure to asbestos fibers. It takes 30–40 years for this cancer to appear after the asbestos exposure. It is important to treat this cancer in the early stages otherwise it proves fatal. Various mesothelioma treatments are surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

Wrong Diet and Nutrition Will Cause Cancer

Excessive intake of animal protein has been linked to increased risk of breast, colon, pancreatic, kidney, prostate, and endometrial cancer. Protein is broken down into nitrogenous waste that may be converted into carcinogenic compounds, nitrosamines and ammonium salts.

Excessive protein contributes to an acidic terrain and causes a large amount of calcium to leach from bones in an attempt to neutralize such an acidic environment. A chronic acidic environment eventually leads to the loss of calcium resulting in osteoporosis.
