However, according to Dr. Ir. Francisca Zakaria, MSc, researcher and lecturer at Agricultural Technology (Fateta) Bogor Agricultural University (IPB) in Bogor, cancer could be prevented, and this is done by improving the food consumption.

“Among them are fruits and vegetables are colored green like broccoli, green cincau pariah and that contains chlorophyll. Also, carrots, tomatoes, oranges and other foods that are rich orange carotene cancer prevention is also very helpful,” he said.

Exposure Francisca Zakaria is never communicated in a seminar entitled “Understanding, Prevention and Countermeasures Cancer in Women” at the Auditorium Rectorate Campus IPB Darmaga.

He further explained that cancer is not contagious disease that originated from the changes in genetic material, or DNA, which exist in normal cells and cells producing yag no longer the same as its parent.

“This is called gene mutation and 15 percent of which occur because of heredity, while the rest of the body caused by external factors such as viruses, continuous infections, air pollution, radiation, and foreign chemicals in food,” he said.

He said the cell which genes have mutated, if it could survive would be the forerunner of the tumor or cancer, because if he could continue his life and divide to grow it will become the tumor tissue.

“It’s definitely very dangerous because it can undermine the body and suck the nutrients as much as possible and make the blood vessels themselves,” he said.

By looking at the data shows that 85 percent of cancers caused by external factors, he said, the cancer could have been prevented.

Emphasized that it can be done by improving the food consumption in order to obtain all the 44 kinds of nutrients needed by the body in sufficient and available at all times.

He reminded that the human body is basically having a miraculous immune system can eradicate all kinds of microorganisms including viruses and also kill cancer cells.

Therefore, he said, the immune system needs adequate nutrients so it can be a “Natural Killer” (natural killer) cells in which mutated and infected with the virus.

One that can stimulate the activity of these immune system such as ginger and several kinds of mushrooms.

The other way is to prevent the entry of carcinogenic compounds by avoiding foods that contain pesticide residues, heavy metals, chemicals in food, medicines Excessive dust, and industrial compounds from vehicle exhaust, and cigarette smoke.

In addition, also by improving the body’s detoxification system and also by consuming foods that contain antioxidants such as carotenoids, vitamin A, C, E, compound “flavonoids”, “isoflavones”, “terpenoid”, “isotionoid”, “chlorophyll”, and ” phenol “simple shield that can be avoided.

According to him, these foods containing these substances was not difficult to find and consume as much food materials are common everyday materials, namely vegetables and fruits that are colored green and orange.

He suggested that consumption of vegetables and fruits at least reach 400-800 grams per day to get the antioxidant substances.

To center nutrition and protein should be obtained through fish, white meat, eggs, milk, eggs and nuts. While for carbohydrates, consumption of rice , flour from whole wheat, cassava, sweet potato, taro, or bananas.

Especially for fat consumption, he warns that using vegetable fats rich in linoleic, and oleic acid that is widely available in corn, soybean, and avocado.

Said former Head of Hematology-Oncology Division, Department of Medical Science in FKUI / RSUPN Prof. dr Zubairi Djoerban

Zubairi who daily deal with cases of cancer and HIV / AIDS said he saw many patients with both diseases were very quickly died after stopping conventional medical treatment and switching to alternative medicine wore red fruit.

”Many people who have HIV / AIDS who died after stop taking antiretroviral drugs (ARVs), and shifted to the red fruit that cost hundreds of thousands,”said Zubairi.

The high interest of the people on the red fruit, according to specialists in this disease, driven by the desperation of the patient. Given the many parties who currently identify with the death of cancer. In fact, nowadays many drugs have been shown to treat cancer.

Plus, many parties who have business interests deliberately promoting red fruit as a cure for cancer, AIDS, hepatitis, lower cholesterol, uric acid, etc. In fact, so far the research says that red fruit called latin pandanus conoideus it has the potential for new prevention of cancer, not treatment.

Fruit red”potentially prevent cancer, rich in antioxidants and beneficial fatty acids. Antioxidants is to prevent the emergence of free radicals (unstable molecules) that can damage body cells.”

Antioxidants

Zubairi that the seminar will discuss the ‘Complementary and Alternative Medicine in Cancer’ said substance to obtain antioxidants, the red fruit is not the only source. Fruits and vegetables that we encounter everyday like tomato, mango, spinach, beans also are rich in antioxidants.

However, Zubairi word again, that should also note, not always positive effect of antioxidant substances. For example, take supplements containing beta carotene, which is one type of antioxidant substances, actually increase the incidence of lung cancer incidence and mortality in smokers. It is stipulated in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, Vol 95, No. 1, January 1, 2003.

So, still needed a very long process and costly to come to the conclusion that the red fruit can cure cancer. Required circuit test and verification phases in order for a drug substance can be classed as an illness.

”Some of the steps that must be passed, among others, test the existence of specific active substances have an effect on the disease, clinical trials on animals and humans to test against. All steps must be conducted through either method.

Concerning the efficacy of red fruit as medicine, some time ago Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BPOM) also said the juice has not been able to categorize the red as a traditional medicine, food supplements, functional foods, natural medicine, or modern medicine. For the determination of these categories to go through a scientific and empirical evidence (Media 28 / 3).

Director of Original, at the national seminar ‘Pro Contra Red Fruit’ some time in Jakarta said the categorization process of a product to be seen whether the claim has met the requirements and capabilities. ”When all was done, BPOM will decide what category of product entry.”

Regarding the red fruit, Ritiasa recognize existing five people who filed claims for the efficacy of Papua’s indigenous plants. But none was decided. Responding to doubts BPOM, the inventor of the properties of the red fruit I Made Budi remain with the belief that red fruit can cure various diseases.

Misconceptions of this kind was also made by many doctors specialists, are really surprising, doctors should provide the right knowledge in the general population, turned out to have incorrect knowledge. Prevention of liver cancer should be done the right way. There is no other way except to detect and treat it as early as possible, so the doctor said Hsu Chin Chuan. But ironically, it turns out doctors who deal with liver cancer also have a biased view of the false, even misleading the public, this is why the biggest cause of liver cancer is difficult to cure.

We have patients who complain that doctors Hsu over the last month is often experience abdominal pain and weight down so much. After the new supersound examination found the existence of a very large liver cancer, nearly 80% of livernya (heart) has been eaten up.

The patient was taken aback, “How is it possible? Last year a new medical check-ups and the results were all normal. How is it possible only within a relatively short one year of liver cancer can grow so big? ”

It turns out check-ups are done only check liver function. The assessment also showed “normal.” Examination of liver function is one of the items most recognizable heart examination by the public. But this item is also the most misunderstood by our society (Taiwan).

In general, people assume that if the index of liver function examination showed normal numbers mean there are no problems with the heart. But this view led to the emergence sedihkarena stories of missed opportunities to detect cancer since the early stages.

Doctor Hsu said, SGOTdan ALT is the most common enzymes in the liver cells. If there is inflammation of the liver or because one or other cause so that the liver cells die, the SGOT and SGPT will run out. This causes the contents of SGOT and SGPT in the blood increases.

But not an increase in SGOT and SGPT numbers does not mean there is no hardening of the liver or absence of liver cancer. For many sufferers of inflammation of the liver, although the inflammatory condition of their hearts have stopped, but within the liver (liver), they have been formed by the fibers and the hardening of the liver. With the formation of hardening of the heart, it will be easy to liver cancer arises.

In addition, early stage liver cancer, liver index will not increase. Because in times of cancer growth, only the cells surrounding the attack so damaged and die. Because of this damage is only a small scale then the number of SGOT and SGPT may still be within normal limits, say up any high-rise will not occur. But because many people do not understand this so that the result came to pass many sad stories.

The main causes of liver damage are:

1. Sleeping too late and waking up too late are the most common cause.
2. No exhaust in the morning.
3. A diet that is too excessive
4. Do not eat breakfast.
5. Consume too many drugs.
6. Consume too many preservatives, additives, dyes, artificial sweeteners.
7. Unhealthy cooking oil. As much as possible reduce cooking oil use when frying foods, it also applies even using the best cooking oils like olive oil.
8. Consuming raw or cooked dishes cooked 3-5 parts. Fried dishes should be eaten right away, do not be stored.

We have to do prevention without additional expense. Self-set lifestyle and eating habits one day – today. Treatment of eating habits and time condition is needed, so our bodies can do the absorption and disposal of substances that are not useful in accordance with the “schedule”.

Cause:

1. Pk evenings 9:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.: disposal of these substances is not useful / toxic (detoxification) section antibody system (lymph nodes). During this time duration should be passed with a quiet atmosphere or listening to music. If at that time a housewife is still in a condition that is not relaxed such as washing dishes or watching children learn, this can impact negatively on health.
2. Pk night 23:00 – 01:00 AM: when the process of liver detoxification section, must take place in a state of sleep.
3. Early morning 1:00 to 3:00: detoxification process division of bile, also took place in a state of sleep.
4. Early morning 3:00 a.m. to 05:00: de-toxin lung section, because that will place severe cough for cough sufferers dive duration this time. Because the cleaning process (de-toxin) have reached the respiratory tract, it is not necessary to drink cough medicine so as not to hinder the process of sewage.
5. Pk morning 5:00 to 07:00: de-toxin in the colon, had to defecate.
6. Pk morning 7:00 to 09:00: when the absorption of food nutrients for the small intestine, must eat breakfast. For people who are sick should be eating more morning, before 6:30 pk. Breakfast before 7:30 pk extremely good for those who want to maintain their health. For those who do not eat in the morning hoping to change this habit, even better still am to pk 90-10 terlambatmakan than not eating at all.

Sleeping too late and waking up too late will disrupt the process of disposal of substances that are not useful. In addition, from midnight until 4 o’clock in the morning is the time for the bone marrow produces blood. Because of this, Beauty Sleep and Do not stay up.

1. Continuous coughing or become great.
2. Bloody sputum, change colors and more.
3. Shortness of breath and shallow.
4. Headache, sore or cracked bone with no obvious cause.
5. Chronic Fatigue
6. Losing taste eating or weight loss for no apparent reason.
7. Hoarseness / husky.
8. Swelling of the face or neck.

Symptoms of lung cancer is generally not so subtle, so that most lung cancer patients who seek medical help are already in an advanced stage.early-stage cases / early often found accidentally when someone doing a routine health examination.

Some procedures that can facilitate the diagnosis of lung cancer include X-ray images, Thoracic CT Scan, Fine Needle Biopsy, Bronchoscopy, and USG Abdomen.

Lung cancer treatment can be done in ways such as

1. Surgery to remove one bagain of lung – sometimes more than the discovery of the tumor and remove all the lymph nodes with cancer.

* Radiotherapy or radiation with high-intensity X-rays to kill cancer cells.
* Chemotherapy
* Drink the oral drug with certain side effects which aims to extend the life expectancy of sufferers….

A team of researchers studied the use of green tea for cancer prevention because he suspected that the antioxidants protect the entry of the deadly disease, especially because it will include bacterial attack substances associated with stomach tumors.

But earlier studies did not obtain conclusive results, they write in the journal Gut. To better understand the real effects of green tea, Dr M. Inoue, National Cancer Center in Tokyo, and colleagues reviewed six of their previous works.

Together, the studies involving more than 219,000 men and women 40 years and older, which followed more than seven to 11 years. Four out of five respondents say they drink green tea every day; third drank five or more cups per day.

During follow up, approximately 2,500 of the nearly 100,000 people and about 1,000 from more than 118,000 female participants developed stomach cancer.

The researchers found no relationship between humans of the highest tea consumption and lower cancer risk.

A 20 percent decreased risk of stomach cancer observed among women who drank five cups or more, more than or less than a cup of green tea per day, remained after controlling for smoking.

But risk reduction is applied to tumors that arise in certain parts of the stomach.
The study does not prove cause and effect, but studies show that more needed to confirm that green tea reduces the risk of developing stomach cancer or whether women with low risk of autism are those who consume more tea.

Another type of cancer that affects the bone is Ewing’s sarcoma. It is similar to osteosarcoma because it also affects adolescents and young adults, and usually attacks the legs or pelvis.

Most teens with Ewing’s sarcoma receiving chemotherapy and undergoing surgery. Some patients also need lightning, in addition to surgery or in lieu thereof, to be sure to destroy the remaining cells. Ewing’s sarcoma generally responds well to chemotherapy and radiation.

Osteosarcoma and Ewing’s sarcoma share common risk factors and the same side effects of treatment. The chances of recovery depend on the location of the tumor, its size and whether it has spread. But both types of bone cancer respond well to treatment and, in many cases are curable.

Leukemia

Leukemia is one of the most common cancers in childhood. Appears when the bone marrow is invaded by large numbers of abnormal white blood cells called leukemic blasts and in some cases, it enters the bloodstream.

Because these abnormal blood cells have defects, it helps protect the body against infections, as do normal white blood cells. And because they grow out of control, take over the bone marrow and interfere with the production of other types of cells important in blood flow, like red blood cells (which carry oxygen) and platelets (which allow blood clotting) .

Leukemia causes problems like bleeding, anemia (low red blood cell count), bone pain and infections. It can also spread to other parts of the body such as lymph nodes, liver, spleen, brain and in the case of men, the testicles.

The most common types of leukemia in teens are acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

Virtually all persons with ALL and AML are treated with chemotherapy and some also receive stem cell transplants. During this procedure, get new stem cells from another person. Bone marrow transplants are a common form of stem cell transplantation. Some people also receive radiation. The duration of treatment and medications administered rates vary by type of leukemia.

The chances of cure of certain types of leukemia are very good. With proper treatment, most patients with ALL and many patients with AML are cured of the disease and it does not reappear.

Osteosarcoma is the type most common bone cancer. It usually occurs in adolescent boys, in general, they begin to “catch lugs. Osteosarcoma affects twice as many boys than girls and often occurs in people higher than average. Some medical problems may be due to genes, such as retinoblastoma, a tumor that develops in the retina, may predispose some adolescents to develop osteosarcoma. The same happens if a teenager has received radiation treatments for other bone cancers.

The most common symptoms of osteosarcoma are pain and swelling of the legs or arms, sometimes accompanied by the appearance of a bulge. Some people suffer more pain at night or exercise. Often, osteosarcoma is found in bones surrounding the knee, but can also occur in other bones. In exceptional cases, a tumor can spread or cause outside the bone metastases in nerves and blood vessels of the limb. (The word metastasis is the term doctors use when tumor cells away from the original cancer site and move to different tissues or organs).

Treatment for osteosarcoma usually involves chemotherapy (medication intravenously, or IV, which destroys cancer cells) as well as surgery to remove the tumor. In a few cases in which these procedures fail to fully overcome the cancer, the doctor may need to amputate a part or all of the limb to fight cancer. Doctors can also perform surgery for limb salvage. In this procedure, bone is removed to prevent cancer and limb amputation by filling the space with a bone graft or a metal rod special.

The loss of a limb can be devastating, especially for teens who are already through other bodily changes. The psychological and physical therapy (also called “physical rehabilitation) can be very useful in this situation. In general, adolescents who are receiving amputation must pursue a prosthesis or artificial limb, to help them adapt. Most adolescents are able to return to normal activities, including sports.

Most of the adolescents develop side effects such as hair loss, bleeding, infection and heart problems or skin, characteristic of the drugs used in chemotherapy treatment for osteosarcoma. Chemotherapy can also increase a patient’s risk of developing other cancers in the future. The good news is that most teens with osteosarcoma do recover.

The term lymphoma refers to cancer that develops in the lymphatic system, which includes lymph nodes, thymus, spleen, adenoids, tonsils and bone marrow. The role of the lymphatic system is fighting the germs that cause infections and diseases. Most adolescents with lymphoma have Hodgkin’s disease (cancer of lymph tissue) or non-Hodgkin lymphoma (cancer of immune system cells that circulate in our bodies).

Hodgkin’s disease usually occurs in adolescents and young adults. May arise in lymph nodes in the neck, armpits, chest or other body sites. Lymph nodes were enlarged, but in general there is pain. Hodgkin’s disease is characterized by the presence of abnormal cells and large, called Reed-Sternberg cells are detected with a microscope after a biopsy (a procedure in which a doctor takes a small tissue sample for the presence of cells cancer). The chemotherapy and often radiation are used to treat Hodgkin’s disease.

The Hodgkin lymphoma is similar to leukemia (ALL) because both are characterized by the presence of malignant lymphocytes (white blood cells in the lymph nodes) and because they share many symptoms. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma treated with chemotherapy.

Most adolescents with Hodgkin’s disease or non-Hodgkin lymphoma and complete treatment achieved complete remission with no signs of the disease.

Brain tumors are rare in adolescents. There are two types of primary brain tumors that originate in the brain cells, and secondary brain tumors, which originate from a cancer that started elsewhere in the body (eg, osteosarcoma) and extends to the brain.

Most brain tumors in adolescents are primary. Two of the most common forms are astrocytomas and ependymomas. Astrocytomas are brain tumors that originate in the brain cells called astrocytes. This tumor is rarely spread outside the brain and spinal cord, and usually does not affect other organs. Ependymomas are tumors that usually begin in the walls of the ventricles of the brain. The brain has four ventricles, or cavities, which are a way for cerebrospinal fluid, a liquid substance that protects the brain and spinal cord, and absorbs shock.

Nobody knows exactly what causes primary brain cancer. One possibility is that a problem occurred while the cells forming the brain and spinal cord.

Treatments vary depending on tumor type and location. If possible remove a tumor, surgery is usually performed, followed by radiation. Some patients also receive chemotherapy.

The odds of surviving a brain tumor depend on the type, location and treatment. But if it is possible to remove the tumor and administering additional treatment is likely to cure cancer.

Now we’re in winter, most of us are looking forward to enjoy the summer sun. However, the sun, despite being our friend and ally to health, it is an enemy to your skin. Like everything else, and we take it as a precaution. Exposure to ultraviolet – UV – the sun, are the main cause of skin cancer. Moreover, these rays are responsible for wrinkles and other signs of aging.

Do you want a skin of 30 years when you have 40? The key is to remember to protect yourself from the sun. While in youth damage from the sun is not apparent, then it will become evident.

Skin cancer is most common in the U.S. and each day new cases. As if you did not know, there are 3 types of skin cancer:

* Basal cell carcinoma: This is the most common type of skin cancer. It develops when cells in the lower layer of skin grow abnormally.
* Squamous cell carcinoma: in this type of skin cancer, changes occur in the squamous cells that are in the middle layer of the skin.
* Melanoma: Although less common than the other two types of cancer, is the most dangerous and that takes more lives. It develops in the melanocytes, which are cells that produce pigment.

The first two types of cancer are known as nonmelanoma “and can be treated if detected early. Melanoma, on the other hand, is much more dangerous and if left untreated, can spread rapidly to other organs of the body and be fatal.

What causes skin cancer? Exposure to ultraviolet-UV of the sun are the main cause, but the cameras or tanning beds also pose a serious threat to the health of the skin. It is also important to note that sun exposure during the winter months is equally damaging than during the summer. So do not trust!

Do you think dark skinned people do not give them skin cancer? This is a myth. While it is true that there are risk factors that make certain people are more likely to develop it, skin cancer can affect anyone. Anyway here are the factors that increase risk:

* Have clear skin
* Genetics: if there is a history of skin cancer in the family.
* Age: skin cancer-especially those of the non-melanomas are more common after age 40.
* Sun exposure and sunburn.

Now that you know the risk factors, you’re wondering if there is any way to prevent this cancer. The answer is yes, and for sure you’re familiar (a) with some forms of prevention, such as wearing sunscreen with a protection factor, SPF-15 or higher. You aplicártelo 30 minutes before sun exposure and then to pass within hours. In addition to preventing skin cancer is recommended:

* Avoid sun exposure between 10 am and 3 pm.
* Choose cosmetics with UV protection factor.
* Wear sunglasses with UV protection factor.
* Get to know your skin to detect changes in color or existing moles.

Previously it was thought that 80% of sun damage occurred before age 18, now known to have purchased only 23% of the dose of ultraviolet rays. So there is no reason not to always take care. Although we know that if you suffered a severe burn in the sun before age 18, double your chances of getting cancer as an adult. This is a warning to parents not to neglect their children’s skin. You must be a role model, the skin is the largest organ of the body, is invaluable and we look after.
