“It is a bone-deep change you are going into, my beloved,” counsels Grandmother Growth. “You must open to your very marrow for this transformation. No cell is to remain untouched. You are to open more than you ever dreamed you could open, more than you have opened in birth or in passion. You open now to the breath of mortality as it plays the bone flute of your being. What can you do but dance to the haunting melody, develop a passion for an elegant posture and a long stride?

“Ah, yes,” Grandmother Growth smiles rather wantonly. “It would do you well to develop a taste for dark greens tarted with vinegar and mated with garlic. These things will build strong flexible bones to support you as you become Crone.”

Did you know that your bones are always changing? Every day of your life, some bone cells die and some new bone cells are created. From birth until your early 30s, you can easily make lots of bone cells. So long as your diet supplies the necessary nutrients, you not only replace bone cells that die, you have extras left over to lengthen and strengthen your bones.

Past the age of 35, new bone cells are more difficult to make. Sometimes there is a shortfall: more bone cells die than you can replace. In the orthodox view, this is the beginning of osteoporosis, the disease of low bone mass. By the age of forty, many American women have begun to lose bone mass; by the age of fifty, most are told they must take hormones or drugs to prevent further loss and avoid osteoporosis, hip fracture, and death.

Women who exercise regularly and eat calcium-rich foods enter their menopausal years with better bone mass than women who sit a lot and consume calcium-leaching foods (including soy “milk,” tofu, coffee, soda pop, alcohol, white flour products, processed meats, nutritional yeast, and bran). But no matter how good your lifestyle choices, bone mass usually decreases during the menopausal years.

For unknown reasons, menopausal bones slow down production of new cells and seem to ignore the presence of calcium. This “bone-pause” is generally short-lived, occurring off and on for five to seven years. I noticed it in scattered episodes of falling hair, breaking fingernails, and the same “growing pains” I experienced during puberty.

I did not see it in a bone scan, because I didn’t have one.

The idea behind bone scans is a good one: find women who are at risk of broken bones, alert them to the danger, and help them engage in preventative strategies. There’s only one problem: bone scans don’t find women who are at risk of broken bones, they find women who have low bone density.

I would like to help you let go of the idea that osteoporosis is important. In the Wise Woman Tradition, we focus on the patient, not the problem. In the Wise Woman tradition, there are no diseases and no cures for diseases. When we focus on a disease, like osteoporosis, we cannot see the whole woman. The more we focus on one disease, even its prevention, the less likely we are to nourish wholeness and health.

Focusing on osteoporosis, defining it as a disease, using drugs to counter it, we lose sight of the fact that postmenopausal bone mass is a better indicator of breast cancer risk than broken bone risk. The twenty-five percent of postmenopausal women with the highest bone mass are two-and-a-half to four times more likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer than those with the lowest bone mass. And that hormones which maintain bone mass also adversely affect breast cancer risk. Women who take estrogen replacement (often given to prevent osteoporosis), even for as little as five years, increase their risk of breast cancer by twenty percent; if they take hormone replacement, the risk increases by forty percent.

Focusing on bone mass, we lose sight of the fact that a strong correlation between bone density and bone breakage has not been established, according to Susan Brown, director of the Osteoporosis Information Clearing House, and many others. We lose sight of the fact that women who faithfully take estrogen or hormone replacement still experience bone changes and suffer spinal crush fractures.

Bone-pause passes and the bones do rebuild themselves, especially when supported by nourishing herbs, which are exceptional sources of bone-building minerals and better at preventing bone breaks than supplements. The minerals in green plants seem to be ideal for keeping bones healthy. Dr. Campbell, Professor of Nutritional Biochemistry at Cornell University, has done extensive research in rural China where the lowest known fracture rates for midlife and older women were found. He says, “The closer people get to a diet based on plant foods and leafy vegetables, the lower the rates of many diseases, including osteoporosis.” Women who consume lots of calcium-rich plants and exercise moderately build strong flexible bones. Women who rely on hormones build bones that are massive, but rigid.

Hormone replacement regimes do not increase bone cell creation; they slow (or suppress) bone cell killers (osteoclasts). There is a rebound effect; bone loss jumps when the hormones are stopped. Women who take hormones for five years or more are as much as four times more likely to break a bone in the year after they stop than a woman of the same age who never took hormones. Women who build better bones with green allies and exercise nourish the bone cell creator cells (osteoblasts).

Hormone or estrogen replacement, taken as menopause begins and continued for the rest of your life, is said to reduce post-menopausal fracture rates by 40-60 percent. Frequent walks (you don’t even need to sweat) and a diet high in calcium-rich green allies (at least 1500 mg daily) have been shown to reduce post-menopausal fractures by 50 percent. The first is expensive and dangerous. The second, inexpensive and health promoting. It’s easy to see why more than eighty percent of American women just “say no” to hormones. It is never too late to build better bones, and it is never too soon. Your best insurance for a fracture-free, strong-boned cronehood is to build better bones before menopause. The more exercise and calcium-rich green allies you get in your younger years, the less you’ll have to worry about as you age.

“A woman has lost half of all the spongy bone (spine, wrist) she’ll ever lose by the age of 50, but very little of the dense (hip, hand, forearm) bone. Attention to bone formation at every stage of life is vital; there is no time when you are too old to create healthy new bone.” – American MD

CALCIUM

“Osteoporosis is much less common in countries that consume the least calcium. That is an undisputed fact.” -T. C. Campbell, PhD. Nutritional Biochemistry

Step 1: Collect Information

Calcium is, without a doubt, the most important mineral in your body. In fact, calcium makes up more than half of the total mineral content of your body. Calcium is crucial to the regular beating of your heart, your metabolism, the functioning of your muscles, the flow of impulses along your nerves, the regulation of your cellular membranes, the strength of your bones, the health of your teeth and gums, and your vital blood-clotting mechanisms. Calcium is so critical to your life that you have a gland (the parathyroid) that does little else than monitor blood levels of calcium and secrete hormones to ensure optimum levels of calcium at all times.

When you consume more calcium than you use, you are in a positive calcium balance: extra usable calcium is stored in the bones and you gain bone mass (insoluble or unusable calcium may be excreted, or stored in soft tissue, or deposited in the joints). When you consume less calcium than you use, you are in a negative calcium balance: the parathyroid produces a hormone that releases calcium stores from the bones, and you lose bone mass.

To ensure a positive calcium balance and create strong, flexible bones for your menopausal journey, take care to:

• Eat three or more calcium-rich foods daily.
• Avoid calcium antagonists.
• Use synergistic foods to magnify the effectiveness of calcium.
• Avoid calcium supplements.

Step 2: Engage the Energy

• The homeopathic tissue salt Silica is said to improve bone health.
• What does it mean to you to support yourself? To be supported? To stand on your own? To have a backbone in your life?

Step 3: Nourish & Tonify

• What do we need to make strong flexible bones? Like all tissues, bones need protein. They need minerals (not just calcium, but also potassium, manganese, magnesium, silica, iron, zinc, selenium, boron, phosphorus, sulphur, chromium, and dozens of others). And in order to use those minerals, high-quality fats, including oil-soluble vitamin D.
• Many menopausal women I meet believe that protein is bad for their bones. Not so. Researchers at Utah State University, looking at the diets of 32,000 postmenopausal women, found that women who ate the least protein were the most likely to fracture a hip; and that eating extra protein sped the healing of hip fractures.
• Acids created by protein digestion are buffered by calcium. Traditional diets combine calcium- and protein-rich foods (e.g. seaweed with tofu, tortillas made from corn ground on limestone with beans, and melted cheese on a hamburger). Herbs such as seaweed, stinging nettle, oatstraw, red clover, dandelion, and comfrey leaf are rich in protein and provide plenty of calcium too. Foods such as tahini, sardines, canned salmon, yogurt, cheese, oatmeal, and goats’ milk offer us protein, generous amounts of calcium, and the healthy fats our bones need. If you crave more protein during menopause, follow that craving. CAUTION: Unfermented soy (e.g., tofu) is especially detrimental to bone health being protein-rich, naturally deficient in calcium, and a calcium antagonist to boot.
• Bones need lots of minerals not just calcium, which is brittle and inflexible. (Think of chalk, calcium carbonate, and how easily it breaks.) Avoid calcium supplements. Focus on getting generous amounts of calcium from herbs and foods and you will automatically get the multitude of minerals you need for flexible bones.
• Because minerals are bulky, and do not compact, we must consume generous amounts to make a difference in our health. Taking mineral-rich herbs in capsule or tincture form won’t do much for your bones. (One cup of nettle tincture contains the same amount of calcium – 300 mg – as one cup of nettle infusion. Many women drink two or more cups of infusion a day; no one consumes a cup of tincture a day!) Neither will eating raw foods. I frequently come across the idea that cooking robs food of nutrition. Nothing could be further from the truth. Cooking maximizes the minerals available to your bones. Kale cooked for an hour delivers far more calcium than lightly steamed kale. Minerals are rock-like, and to extract them, we need heat, time, and generous quantities of plant material.
• Green sources of calcium are the best. Nourishing herbs and garden weeds are far richer in minerals than ordinary greens, which are already exceptional sources of nutrients.
• But calcium from green sources alone is not enough. We need calcium from white sources as well. Add a quart of yogurt a week to your diet if you want really healthy bones. Because the milk has been changed by Lactobacillus organisms, its calcium, other minerals, proteins, and sugars (no lactose) are more easily digested. This carries over, enhancing calcium and mineral absorption from other foods, too. (I have known several vegans who increased their very low bone density by as much as 6 percent in one year by eating yogurt.) Organic raw milk cheeses are another superb white source.
• Horsetail herb (Equisetum arvense) works like a charm for those premenopausal women who have periodontal bone loss or difficulty with fracture healing. Taken as tea, once or twice a day, young spring-gathered horsetail dramatically strengthens bones and promotes rapid mending of breaks. CAUTION: Mature horsetail contains substances which may irritate the kidneys.

Step 4: Stimulate/Sedate

• Beware of calcium antagonists. Certain foods interfere with calcium utilization. For better bones avoid consistent use of:
  • Greens rich in oxalic acid, including chard (silver beet), beet greens, spinach, rhubarb.
  • Unfermented soy products, including tofu, soy beverages, soy burgers.
  • Phosphorus-rich foods, including carbonated drinks, white flour products, and many processed foods. (Teenagers who drink sodas instead of milk are four times more likely to break a bone.)
  • Foods that produce acids requiring a calcium buffer when excreted in the urine, including coffee, white sugar, tobacco, alcohol, nutritional yeast, salt.
  • Fluoride in water or toothpaste.
  • Fiber pills, bran taken alone, bulk-producing laxatives.
  • Steroid medications, including corticosteroids such as prednisone and asthma inhalers. (Daily use reduces spinal bone mass by as much as ten percent a year.)
  • Restricted calorie diets. Women who weigh the least have the greatest loss of bone during menopause and “neither calcium supplements, vitamin D supplements, nor estrogen” slow the loss. Among 236 premenopausal women, all of whom consumed similar amounts of calcium, those who lost weight by reducing calories lost twice as much bone mass as women who maintained their weight.
• Although chocolate contains oxalic acid, the levels are so low as to have only a negligible effect on calcium metabolism. An ounce/3000 mg of chocolate binds 15-20 mg of calcium; an ounce of cooked spinach, 100-125 mg calcium. Bittersweet (dark) chocolate is a source of iron. Recent research has found chocolate to be very heart healthy. As with any stimulant, daily use is not advised. Chocolate is an important and helpful ally for women. Guilt about eating it and belief that it is damaging to your health interferes with your ability to hear and respond to your body wisdom. If you want to eat chocolate – do it; and get the best. But if you’re doing it every day – eat more weeds.
• Excess phosphorus accelerates bone loss and demineralization. Phosphorus compounds are second only to salt as food additives. They are found in carbonated beverages, soda pop; white flour products, especially if “enriched” (bagels, cookies, cakes, donuts, pasta, bread); preserved meats (bacon, ham, sausage, lunch meat, and hot dogs); supermarket breakfast cereals; canned fruit; processed potato products such as frozen fries and instant mashed potatoes; processed cheeses; instant soups and puddings.
• To avoid phosphorus overload and improve calcium absorption:
  • Drink spring water and herbal infusions; avoid soda pop and carbonated water.
  • Eat only whole grain breads, noodles, cookies, and crackers.
  • Buy only unpreserved meats, cheeses, potatoes.
  • Avoid buying foods with ingredients; they are highly processed.
• Excess salt leaches calcium. Women eating 3900 mg of sodium a day excrete 30 percent more calcium than those eating 1600 mg. The main sources of dietary sodium are processed and canned foods. Seaweed is an excellent calcium-rich source of salt. Sea salt may be used freely as it contains trace amounts of calcium. Salt is critical for health; do not eliminate it from your diet.
• Increase hydrochloric acid production (in your stomach) and you’ll make better use of the calcium you consume. Lower stomach acid (with antacids, for example) and you will receive little bone benefit from the calcium you ingest. Some ways to acidify:
  • Drink lemon juice in water with or after your meal.
  • Take 10-25 drops dandelion root tincture in a little water before you eat.
  • Use calcium-rich herbal vinegars in your salad dressing; put some on cooked greens and beans, too.

Step 5a: Use Supplements

• I really wish you wouldn’t use calcium supplements. They expose you to dangers and don’t prevent fractures. A study in Australia that followed 10,000 white women over the age of 65 for six and a half years found “Use of calcium supplements was associated with increased risk of hip and vertebral fracture; use of Tums antacid tablets was associated with increased risk of fractures of the proximal humerus.”
• If you insist on supplements, go for calcium-fortified orange juice or crumbly tablets of calcium citrate. Chewable calcium gluconate, calcium lactate, and calcium carbonate are acceptable sources. Dolomite, bone meal, and oyster shell are best avoided as they usually contain lead and other undesirable minerals.
• For better bones, take 500 mg magnesium (not citrate) with your calcium. Better yet, wash your calcium pill down with a glass of herbal infusion; that will provide not only magnesium but lots of other bone-strengthening minerals, too.
• Calcium supplements are more effective in divided doses. Two doses of 250 mg, taken morning and night, actually provide more usable calcium than a 1000 mg tablet.

Step 5b: Use Drugs

Even if you take hormone therapy (ERT or HRT) you must get adequate calcium to maintain bone mass, according to researchers at Columbia University. That’s 1200-1500 mg a day (a cup of plain yogurt, two cups of nettle infusion, a splash of mineral-rich vinegar, plus three figs is about that). As you increase your intake of calcium-rich foods/herbs, gradually cut back on your hormone dose if you wish.

Step 6: Break & Enter

Bone density tests are frequently used to push women into taking hormones or drugs. If your bone density is low, use the remedies in this section and schedule another test (for at least six months later) before agreeing to such therapies.

Angelina Jolie search for cancer cure has been futile UNTIL NOW…

Sir / Madam
“Hollywood has had it with cancer,” screams USA Today in its July 29, 2008 issue concerning celebrities that have vowed to conquer cancer

Just as in the general population, there has been a growing epidemic of cancer among celebrities and public figures, such as in the recent cases of Patrick Swayze, Cristina Applegate, Sheryl Crow, Melissa Etheridge, Farrah Fawcett, Ted Kennedy, Kylie Minogue, Rudy Giuliani, Lance Armstrong, just to name a few.

Even more celebrities have lost loved ones to cancer, such as:
Angelina Jolie, Madonna and Rosie O’Donnell (who all lost their mothers to cancer); Paul McCartney (who lost his first wife, Linda, to breast cancer); CBS news anchor Katie Couric (who lost her husband to colon cancer); American Idol David Cook (who lost his maternal grandfather to lung cancer); Brian Williams of NBC Nightly News (who lost his mother tolymphoma and his sister to breast cancer); S. Epatha Merkerson of “Law and Order” (who lost 2 of her very best friends to lung cancer) … and the list goes on.

Cancer has become a much bigger threat to human lives — and has caused more deaths — than all the wars of the world combined. In the U.S. alone, every 60 seconds, someone diesfrom cancer — and that’s like losing as many people as wedid on 9/11 every 2 days.

Here’s another grim statistic: Eevery 3 minutes, someone new is diagnosed with cancer. Is it any wonder, then, that celebrities like Jennifer Aniston, America Ferrera, Meryl Streep, Lance Armstrong, Scarlett Johansson, Forest Whitaker, Hilary Swank, Charlize Theron and dozens of other big-name celebrities banded together to put an end to cancer during a one-hour television special titled “Stand Up 2 Cancer?” The telethon aired on Friday,September 5, 2008, on all 3 networks (ABC, CBS and NBC) to raise funds for cancer research.

The problem with raising funds for cancer research is this: The funds eventually go towards cancer research that does NOT cure cancer. In the 95 years that health organizations like the American Cancer Society have been dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem, there has been VERY LITTLEPROGRESS made in the curing of the deadly disease. Instead, the incidence of cancer has grown exponentially over the last hundredyears.

A single cancer fundraising campaign, such as the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer, for instance, raises approximately $150 million in funds for cancer research. Tens of billions of dollars have beenraised by all the fundraising campaigns combined – and yet, according to the American Cancer Society, there’s still a 41% probability that an individual, male or female, will develop cancer in his or her lifetime (or die from it)!

Why have all the billions of dollars raised for cancer research been FUTILE in curing cancer?
Many people, including the Chairman of the Cancer Prevention Coalition, Dr. Samuel Epstein, state that the priorities of health organizations that claim to be dedicated to finding a cancer cure are “economically motivated, and reflectconflicts of interests with the pharmaceutical industry, the pesticide industry, and the mammography industry.”

Another reason why attempts at curing cancer have been futile thus far is because the funds raised have been allocated to raising public awareness of the merits of the 3 conventionalcancer therapies – that is, chemotherapy, radiation and surgery.

And yet, Oncologist Dr. Tullio Simoncini states that according to his polls and questionnaires, “75 percent of doctors say they’d refuse chemotherapy if they were struck with cancer due to its ineffectiveness and its devastating side effects.” In fact, the medical journal, “Clinical Oncology,” published the results of astudy in December 2004, wherein it was shown that chemotherapy has a success rate of just over 2 percent for all cancers! [That's a FAILURE rate of 98%!]
Therefore, funneling research funds towards the advancement of ineffective therapies that don’t eliminate the root CAUSEof cancer will always be a losing proposition.

The fact is, the business of “curing” cancer – or any disease, for that matter — has become an overcomplicated system that is usually invasive and expensive. More often than not, it also does more harm than good – and the “good” that it doesis limited to relieving only the SYMPTOMS of the disease, and not its CAUSE.

But now, there is a simple and natural therapy that is scientifically proven to eradicate cancer – without the need for surgery, drugs or radiation. In fact, this therapy has beenprescribed and administered by more than 15,000European doctors, naturopaths and healthpractitioners to heal not just cancer but most other diseases, including AIDS, heart disease, Parkinson’s Disease, Alzheimer’s Disease and diabetes, to name a few.

Before I found this therapy, my father died of colon cancer in 1999.

It was painful for him, but maybe even more painful for us, his family, to watch as he writhed in agony during the last 6 months of his life. If you ever witness someone you love die like this, it will change your life forever, just as it has changed mine.

If you thought that experience must’ve been awful, my nightmare continued when, not long after my father died, my sister was stricken with cervical cancer; and then my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. Both of them are in remission now because their respective cancers were surgically removed. But I couldn’t help but fear that their cancers would recur just like my father’s cancer did after a few years of remission — and I was afraid that they, too, might die just as my father did.

This is why I’ve been tireless in my pursuit to find a cure for cancer — to save the lives of my beloved mother and sister. My search led me to find this scientifically proven therapy that proved to be much more than I was looking for.

Alternative health practitioners, as well as researchers and doctors, have yet to find a disease that does NOT respond well to this therapy. And best of all, when this self-administeredone-minute therapy is used properly, there are no known risks.

When I stumbled upon this remarkable therapy, I used it on myself to successfully eradicate a chronic throat inflammation (that I feared would become cancerous) in just 2 weeks — and my husband experienced a SPECTACULAR reversal of a seriouslymphatic condition that he had suffered from all his life, and which was considered “incurable.” I knew then that this therapy was the closest thing to a panacea that I had been looking for.

I began to think that it would be a DISSERVICE to humanity to keep information about this therapy available only to the limited number of people who stumbled upon it by accident (like I did). That’s why I sat down and wrote “The One-Minute Cure: The Secret to Healing Virtually All Diseases” -

Even as I was writing the book, I knew I’d meet with tremendous opposition because the simple therapy which is detailed in the book, represents the biggest threat to the trillion-dollar revenues of the pharmaceutical and medical industries.

Today, I remain convinced that if all the funds raised for cancer research were dedicated to putting this book in the hands of every man and woman on the planet, we could not only stamp outcancer altogether but also have a world that is free of disease.

I urge you to get this book today and learn the one-minute cure for yourself – and give a copy of the book to all the people you care about, as well as people who are battling disease, or people who don’t have health insurance – before the “powers thatbe” in the pharmaceutical industry force this book out of circulation.

Wishing you the best of health and freedom from disease,
Thanks for reading and I wish you all the success!

Benign prostatic hyperplasia, also known as enlarged prostate, is a condition in which your prostate gland – a gland found only in males – grows larger over time. The National Kidney and Urologic Diseases Information Clearinghouse states that your prostate gland begins to grow around age 25, and that this growth phase may, over time, result in benign prostatic hyperplasia. Before using dietary supplements to halt the growth of your prostate gland, discuss the risks and benefits of supplements with your health care provider.

The prostate is a male gland responsible for manufacturing semen. According to the Mayo Clinic a man’s prostate gland will develop from pea-size to that of a walnut over the course of the individual’s first 40 to 45 years. A second spurt of growth in the years after this can enlarge the prostate further, making it compress the man’s urethra, which is surrounded by the prostate. This compression can eventually result in the man having a very difficult time urinating and lead him to seek ways to reduce the size of the prostate gland.

How to Reduce an Enlarged Prostate
Relax in a tub or hot water or a warm bath two to three times a day for up to 20 minutes at a time. The Male Health Center recommends this treatment to bring down the swelling in the prostate. It is also prudent to avoid sitting for long stretches of time if you suffer from an enlarged prostate, as this can aggravate the condition due to where the prostate is located.
Treat an enlarged prostate with medications such as Avodart and Proscar. These drugs work by affecting an enzyme that causes the tissue in the prostate to grow. Ask your doctor about theses medications, which can take anywhere from one to six months to begin to reduce the size of the prostate gland.

Undergo microwave treatments to shrink the prostate. Urologists will employ this treatment for those instances of prostate enlargement that are not so severe, with the microwaves bombarding the gland via a catheter that gains access to the gland through the man’s penis. The effect of these microwaves can reduce the enlargement.

Opt for prostate gland surgery. There are procedures available today that can shave down the enlarged prostate to the point where urinary flow is brought back to normal levels. Known as a trans-urethral resection, this operation requires a hospital stay and for the patient to be under anesthesia, with a catheter put in place for as long as three days.

Cut down on the amount of fat you consume in your diet. Stay clear of antihistamines and avoid exposure to cold weather. Engage in healthy exercise and focus on relaxing. These are some of the things that can help to reduce your enlarged prostate over time.

When speaking of the many great things about breast implants Beverly Hills patients most often mention the confidence boost they give. Achieving the beautiful figure desired by so many, being able to wear fitted clothes and swimsuits with confidence. But breast implants aren’t just for vanity. There is so much more to them than meets the eye. A woman by the name of Lydia Carranza is alive today because of her double D breast implants. Lydia was working at a dental office when her co worker’s husband opened fire at their workplace. The gunfire killed her coworker, and Lydia herself was shot twice in the chest. After the CT scans were reviewed it was observed that the bullet fragments lodged in her implants were millimeters away from her heart and other vital organs. Had it not been for her breast implants Lydia could have died or been much more seriously injured due of the shooting. This doesn’t mean that we should all go get breast implants Beverly Hills surgeons advise us not to get implants as a means to stop bullets, or in place of a bullet proof vest, but this does show one of the many great things plastic surgery has done.

Breast implants have also helped women in overcoming breast cancer. For many women breast cancer runs in their family. Family history showing a mother, grandmother, or even great-grandmother having breast cancer can be interpreted as a factor for the likelihood of the next generation having breast cancer. Although studies show that unless you have mutations in the genes BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 you might never have breast cancer. Though these genes are hereditary in some cases it is not. Some cases of breast cancer are due to spontaneous gene mutation. Women with or without the knowledge of these inherited and spontaneous genes are still going through extreme measures to avoid ever getting breast cancer.

These women are undergoing what is called a masectomy. Also used as a treatment for breast cancer, a mastectomy is performed to remove all breast tissue, leaving only the nipple and areola. Often during the same procedure, a breast implant is placed, in order to replace the breast tissue lost. A masectomy might not seem like an option for some of us but for others, it is an only option. By finding a skilled plastic surgeon Los Angeles breast cancer patients can look forward to the fact that they can still have a beautiful, shapely body, even if they’ve lost their breasts to cancer. Plastic surgery Los Angeles & beyond has helped both women and men with more than just looks. It has been proven over and over that plastic surgery can be implemented not only for shallow reasons, but also for self preservation.

International Agency of Research on Cancer (IARC) concluded from a review of recent research: nigh shift working disrupt the circadian rhythm in the body of people, as essential hormone that can hinder the development of cancer, the secretion of melatonin will reduce because of night shift working. The conclusion of report is: “The shift work disrupts the circadian rhythm is likely to cause the cancer.”

As the same as creosote, diesel exhaust, anabolic steroids, sun lamps and chemicals including lead, night shift working is considered risky mark. The whole article of IARC report will be published later this year. Suggested by Breast and Ovarian Cancer Centre in Austrian, there are some conclusions are wrong, it is likely to have prejudice and confusion, such as some researches regarded as: “In women’s group that limited population…have worked for 20 years or even more…the trend of suffering from breast only a little rise”, indeed they are not confirmed.

“Attribute to the night shift working, you can get compensation” said Grete Christensen, the deputy president of Danish Nurses’ Organization, “the reason that as like you work in some factories which engage in toxic chemicals.” There are seven members of this organization have gotten the compensation. There are some European countries such as Netherlands, Belgium and the UK are researching the relationship of both, and provide the compensation.

Cancer Society of Finland pointed out, there will publish a report about relationship of working and cancer in Nordic countries, will add more evidence to prove shift working is linked to breast cancer, no matter the male or female. For this problem, Laurent Vogel, director of the health and safety department of the European Trade Union Confederation’s Institute said “It is key to reduce the nigh shift working from the aspect of society or technology…not only regard as the aspect of profitability.”

Only last year Denmark’s National Injuries Board has approved 38 women to get compensation, account for more than 50%. The organization said:”It is not recorded as the scope of occupation disease until the entire article about night shift working and cancer that is published, the effect of article will speed up approval of pay-outs. It has promoted the adjustment of relating policy for some employers according to this decision in Denmark. The major air company SAS of Nordic countries, has taken action when a Danish stewardesses obtained the compensation because breast cancer. This stewardesses has serviced in long-haul flights more than 20 years. “Each crew member can make a choice to determine whether would like to fly long-haul under her or his body healthy condition”, said SAS.

There still has doubt with the night shift working and cancer, however overall the night shift working is harm to health whatever the necessary of working or personal habits. Nigh shift working inhibiting the secretion of melatonin, reduce the ability that defense the potential cancer cell, lead to the rate of encountering cancer go up. On the other hand, nigh shift working will disrupt the normal rhythm of body, is easy to cause dysfunction of the neuroendocrine system. In addition, nigh shift working cause the human body immunity easily to drop, the function of internal organs will be unbalanced, harm to the stomach and intestines, add burden to heart, make the risk of cardiovascular disease go up, then make people easy to suffer from insomnia.
