All about Cancer
-
My personal ‘conclusion’ pertaining to who will get cancer (base on experiences of cancer patients around me):
1. Gene
2. Emotion / Temper / Stress
3. Lifestyle
If poor gene + bad temper + poor lifestyle habit = 101% risk
If good gene + bad temper + good lifestyle habit = 20% risk
If poor gene + good temper + good lifestyle habit = 75% risk
if good gene + good temper + poor lifestyle habit = 10% risk
etc
Gene is the key and temperament is second (when i have several friends passed on with cancer even though they so healthy lifestyle and rich while people who smoke and drink live till ripe old age). -
Hi,
For those Cancer patients undergoing treatment .
Chemotherapy drugs are toxic to normal cells as well as cancer cells. A dose that will destroy cancer cells will probably cause damage to some normal cells. Doctors adjust doses to do the least amount of harm possible to normal cells. Some patients feel few or no side effects, and others may have more serious side effects. In some cases, a dose adjustment is all that is needed to reduce or stop a side effect.
Nausea and vomiting are common, but can usually be controlled by taking anti-nausea drugs, drinking enough fluids, and avoiding spicy foods. Loss of appetite may be due to nausea or the stress of undergoing cancer treatment.
Resveratrol and Cancer Management
Resveratrol combats cancer cells in various ways. As mentioned by Sitris Pharmaceutical’s Dr Sinclair, resveratrol triggers the sirtuin enzyme, SIRT1, which acts as guardian of cells’ DNA and gene communication. Likewise, Resveratrol, as a potent antioxidant, neutralizes free radicals (Free radicals can bring about cancer by causing mutations in a cell’s DNA or by encouraging inflammation). In conclusion, resveratrol promotes apoptosis of cancer cells – a natural process whereby cells are pre-programmed to die. Resveratrol promoted apoptosis is especially important considering cancer often disables a cell’s tumor suppressor gene, P53, leaving the cell without a means to protect itself.
Types of Cancer Possibly Treated Resveratrol
Presently, research is being done to determine the specific types of cancer that resveratrol is effective against, as well the effective dosages and methods of administration (e.g. oral, intravenous, or topical) for each type of cancer. Some types of cancers that succumb to resveratrol intervention:
Leukaemia & Blood Cancers
Studies has shown that grape seed extract induces leukaemia cells to commit suicide. Grape seed extracts contain resveratrol.
Breast Cancer
Resveratrol strongly inhibits BRCA1-mutant tumour growth. Resveratrol prevents the initial stage that occurs when estrogen begins the process that leads to breast cancer.
Pancreatic Cancer
By disabling pancreatic cancer cells’ mitochondria (i.e. power source) resveratrol kills pancreatic cancer cells while protecting healthy cells from radiation treatment.
Lung Cancer
Research has shown that cigarette smoke destroys SIRT1 genes in lung cells while other studies have revealed, that resveratrol increases SIRT1 activity. Conceivably, this is why men between the ages of 45 and 69 who smoke, have a 60% reduction of lung cancer if they drink one or two glasses of red wine per day – or a 2% reduced risk of getting cancer for each glass of red wine consumed per month.
Prostate Cancer
Researchers have revealed that resveratrol might prevent or diminish prostate cancer problems. According to them, men who drink 4 to 7 glasses of red wine per week are half as likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer. Further, mice given resveratrol are 87% less likely to develop the most deadly form of prostate cancer and are 48 % more likely to have their tumour growth slowed or stopped.
Skin Cancer
Resveratrol applied topically has showed promising results in the prevention of skin cancer. Specifically, when resveratrol was applied to the skin of hairless mice before UVB (solar) radiation exposure, the mice had less skin tumours than mice without eating resveratrol. Further, resveratrol applied to the skin of hairless mice after UVB exposure also helped to prevent skin tumours.

Glad to chance upon this thread and appreciate all the health information. Guess I hv been ignorant. Never knew emotion/temper/stress could be a cancer-causing factor. I’ve always focussed on healthy eating. It’s time for me to really control my emotions!
