like the other cancer prevention, try as possible to avoid carcinogenic factors. Carcinogenic factors are the factors which induces cancer inside the normal human body. Those factors, such as all well-barbaqued foods, or any kind of junk food are also carcinogenic factors.

You can prevent cancer in many ways, since the disease is originated in a tendency to have it. You can prevent or at least slow down probabilities of having it. Eating healthy food is a quite good way to do it.

There are a LOT of things a woman can do to reduce her chances of getting breast cancer.  (Note: regular check-ups are important but they do not prevent cancer, they merely identify it early.)\n\nThe medical research is full of information on the following nutritional factors:\n\n1) High intakes (two servings per day) of brassica vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, etc.) may help modulate detoxification systems (especially detoxification of estrogens) and decrease cancer risks.\n\n2) Avoid all intake of alcohol.\n\n3) Adequate intakes of nutrients needed for an important process in the body called 'methylation' are needed to prevent breast and other cancers.  These include: Vitamin B12, Vitamin B6, the B vitamin called Folate, and Betaine.  These nutrients are commonly deficient in modern foods and are especially important in women who drink alcohol.\n\n4) High intakes of bioflavanoids such as soy isoflavones, epigallo-catechin-gallate (ECGC) in green tea, and resveratrol in dark grapes, may be helful.\n\n5) Regular excercise is associated with decreased breast cancer risks.\n\n6) High Vitamin D levels play many important roles in the body's physiology that help to reduce cancer risks.  Note:  Vitamin D deficiency is now considered to be at Epidemic Levels in western civilization.  RDAs for Vitamin D are way too low and many people are avoiding sunlight (the primary source of Vitamin D production.)  Cod liver oil is an excellent source of Vitamin D.\n\n7) A huge body of scientific evidence supports a role for Vitamin C in the prevention of the cancer process.\n\n8) High intakes of a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables (5-9 servings per day) have repeatedly been associated with reduced risk for many cancers.\n\nMuch of the information I have offered here can be found in great detail in the medical text:  "Nutrition and Cancer Prevention", edited by Awad and Bradford, 2006, publ. by CRC Press.  This is not a book for the 'layperson', and frankly, most doctors would have difficulty following the biochemistry it discusses.\n\nAn excellent book for the layperson on many aspects of prevention of chronic diseases, including cancers, is available by Sherry Rogers, M.D.  The book has a gruesome name: "Detoxify Or Die", but it is an authoratative source of critical information about disease prevention.  I highly recommend it.  It is available at Amazon.com or from the publisher at 1-800-846-6687.\n\nI hope you find this information helpful.  Best wishes.

When you read articles like this you have to remember that researchers like to get published and what better way to get published than to claim some obscure compound in chocolate or beer or broccoli will help prevent cancer. Take these articles with a big grain of salt along with claims that vitamins or supplements will cure cancer. Cancer is a complex illness and if drinking beer or eating chocolate was a big factor in preventing it, then you could be assured there would be much lower levels of cancer among the general population.

Osteopenia refers to bone mineral density (BMD) that is lower than normal peak BMD but not low enough to be classified as osteoporosis. Bone mineral density is a measurement of the level of minerals in the bones, which indicates how dense and strong they are. If your BMD is low compared to normal peak BMD, you are said to have osteopenia. Having osteopenia means there is a greater risk that, as time passes, you may develop BMD that is very low compared to normal, known as osteoporosis.\n\nSome people who have osteopenia may not have bone loss; they may just naturally have a lower bone density. Osteopenia may also be the result of a wide variety of other conditions, disease processes, or treatments. Women are far more likely to develop osteopenia and osteoporosis than men. This is because women have a lower peak BMD and because the loss of bone mass speeds up as hormonal changes take place at the time of menopause. In both men and women, the following factors can all contribute to osteopenia: \n\nEating disorders or metabolism problems that do not allow the body to take in and use enough vitamins and minerals \nChemotherapy, or medications such as steroids used to treat a number of conditions, including asthma \nExposure to radiation \nHaving a family history of osteoporosis, being thin, being white or Asian, getting limited physical activity, smoking, regularly drinking cola drinks, and drinking excessive amounts of alcohol also increase the risk of osteopenia and, eventually, osteoporosis.\nWhether you will tend to develop osteopenia is, in part, already determined. Things like whether you have any family members who have had osteoporosis or osteopenia, whether you have chronic asthma that requires you to take steroids, and how much calcium and vitamin D you got while you were growing up are beyond your control now. However, if you are a young adult or if you are raising children, there are things you can do to help develop strong bones and help slow down osteopenia and prevent osteoporosis.\n\nYour bones don't reach their greatest density until you are about 30 years old, so for children and people younger than 30, anything that helps increase bone density will have long-term benefits. To maximize bone density, make sure you get plenty of calcium and vitamin D through your diet and by spending a little time in the sun, get weight-bearing exercise on a regular basis, don't smoke, and avoid excessive alcohol or cola drinks. If you have children, teach them to make a nutritious diet and exercise part of their normal routine, make sure they play a little in the sunshine to help their bodies make more vitamin D, and help them avoid smoking and alcohol as they get older.\n\nIf you're older than 30, it's still not too late to make these lifestyle changes. A balanced diet and regular exercise will help slow the loss of bone density, delay osteopenia, and delay or prevent osteoporosis.

Just drink milk everyday, simple and easy. (the calcium makes youre bones grow...you probably heard that already) but it really does work.

I'm sorry this is happening to you. Yes, it is possible that it is bone cancer, either Ewings Sarcoma or Osteosarcoma. Both are considered childhood cancers and you fall into the age group most likely to have one of these types. Nothing is certain though until you have all the results back from the tests. It also seems like this was caught early, so that is good news.\n\nIf you are finally diagnosed with cancer, than it is possible that you may need chemotherapy. But much depends on what type of cancer this would be and what stage the cancer is in. There are four stages of cancers . . stage 1 means the cancer is located in one spot while stage 4 would indicate that the cancer has spred to other parts of the body.\n\nPlease stay positive. Wait for all the results of the tests, no sense worrying about something until it happens. Be strong!

Here's a cure fpr prostate cancer. Far less painful than radiation.\n\nhttp://dgwa1.fortunecity.com/body/cancercure-dandelion.htm

I agree with you to a large degree. Personally I believe the tradition treatments, chemo and/or radiation..cause more problems are are ineffective. In alot of cases the patient dies as a result of complications of the treatment, not from the actual disease. Yes, diet...I think an organic diet makes a huge difference, putting more chemicals into a body that is struggling doesnt make a lot of sense. Alot of the meds, even pain meds like morphine, tend to produce angiogenesis in cancer cells and spread the tumors. Im a big believer in the budwig diet and I'm a big believer in meditation and visualisation. I do believe there are alot of other things you can also do to help. For example, biophosponate to stop the spread to bones...blocking the FE+ receptors..cancer cells need iron to divide and multiply, blocking the FE+ receptors deprives them of iron and they cant continue to divide and muliply..there is a chemical in anti-malarial meds that does this. I also strongly believe in Qigong - powerful chinese med to bolster the immune system. Oxidisation treatment, hyperbaric chamber...Dendric cell therapy .. IPT (Insulin Potentiation Therapy), Ultra Violet treatment...there is so much.  Good on you for looking further than the traditional!

I don't know about the losing weight part, but milk must be incorporated into everybody's diet as it is a great source of calcium and prevents us from developing osteoperosis in the old age. Women in particular, who are more prone to osteoperosis, should make it a habit to have 2 cups of milk a day, though men should do the same!! I'm a male and have found that warm milk is great to sleep before going to bed as it feels comforting and it's a great way of protecting your teeth from plaque overnight, as milk has been proven to cause the plaque to burst. (They're currently trying to develop tooth paste that consists of milk). So, reiterating my earlier point, make sure you drink milk everyday. It's so important...your body will be spared the pain and discomfort in your old age.!!

It was an unsettling revelation to me that osteoporosis can begin as early as 15 years prior to the first signs of menopause - often around the middle to late thirties. By the time most women reach their postmenopausal years, the majority will suffer from this disease - a fact that has made it the most common metabolic bone disease in this country.\n\nThe gradual loss of bone, perhaps 1% each year at first, accelerates to a rate of 3% to 5% per year during menopause and then reverts to about 1% to 1.5% a year thereafter.3 This association of accelerated bone loss with menopause, first recognized over 50 years ago, led medical doctors to prescribe estrogen supplements during menopause to reduce these chances. Unfortunately, however, there are some problems with this approach. Of great importance are the significant side effects that start appearing in a woman's body when supplemental estrogen, unopposed by natural progesterone, is introduced. They constitute a long list, ranging from increased blood clotting and water retention to liver dysfunction and greater risk of endometrial and breast cancer.

Fortunately, there is much that you can do to help your body to fight cancer: Do not use tobacco products; avoid the harmful rays of the sun; exercise regularly and choose foods with less fat and consume more vegetables, whole grains, fruits and juices- especially cancer-preventive, phytonutrient-rich goji.\nGoji is oneof the only plant species on earth that contains the anti-cancer mineral germanium.  It's antioxidants and unique polysaccharides can halt the genetic mutations that can lead to cancer.\nIt is important to note that goji has also ben shown to enhance the effects of radiation in combating cancer, allowing a lower dose to be used. Other research indicates that goji can protect against some of the noxious side effects of chemotherapy and radiation.  In addition, patients receiving a cancer drug together with goji exhibited response rates up to 250 percent better than those obtained by the drug alone.  These advnced cancer patients experienced amazing regressions of malignant melanoma, renal cell carcinoma, colorectal carcinoma, lung cancer, nasopharyngeal carcinoma and malignant hydrothorax.  Remission of cancers in patients treated with goji lasted significantly longer than those treated without goji.\nFor cancer management- 4 to 8 ounces daily, taken with meals.\nI take goji as a preventative measure as I lost my Mother and Grandmother to breast cancer when they were way too young.  Goji is an adaptogen which works on all auto-immune deficiencies and has medical validation. There are 72 clinical studies published on pubmed.org under the name Lycium Barbarum.\nBest of luck and God Bless.

There have been some cases of osteonecrosis of the jaw in patients, but the numbers are small.  Everything is a risk, there are no free lunches.  Actonel and Fosamax both increase bone mass, and studies have shown that the bone mass is as good as if it were never not there.  Fractures of the hand, spine etc., (Dowager's Hump) are less in patients taking these medications.  Caucasion women, and Asians are particularly prone to osteoporosis, since they are naturally lighter boned than say black women---i.e. they begin menapause with less bone mass.  You probably now are producing no estrogen, therefore are open to bone resorption at a faster level than if you were on HRT.  Estrogen keeps a woman "younger" than she would otherwise be -- estrogen keeps collegen in place, slows the process of wrinkles, allows vaginal tissues to remain thick and strong, reduced constipation by keeping the lower bowel fit,  keeps mental accuity, and on and on and on.  But estrogen dependent cancers tend to kill, so women with estrogen dependent  cancers generally have a hysterectomy with ovary removal.   The interesting thing about Actonel and Fosamax is that even if you acquire osteonecrosis of the jaw, even if you stop, the drug remains in your system for years.....that's why it is no big deal to miss a week once in a while, or to not take the pill every day of the same week.   In your place, the threat of osteoporosis is a greater one than osteonecrosis of the jaw.  I take Fosamax, and plan to do so for the rest of my life....
