It's not peach pits but apricot. And in fact its not really the pit at all but the seed inside the pit. Vitamin B-17 found mostly in apricot seeds, also known as laetrile or amygdalin, was used in the 1800's and early to mid 1900's to cure or relieve the pain of cancer. You will find varied opinions on its success. Some claim it works with a 9% success rate compared to the 2% success rate of chemotherapy. Others say it doesn't have any real effect at all. One theory suggests that it was deemed to cheap to procure and sell so the medical field denied its uses and instead went with chemotherapy which is far more expensive and generates more income.

What cancers are curable and what cancers are not?
Cancers that are benign, and are just forming, they are under proliferation. A tumor is only considered a cancer only if its malignant, that is, only if its cell have acquired the ability to go to the surrounding tissue.
Epithelial cells is, carcinomas
Connective tissue, sarcomas
Leukemia is all other
90% of humans have carcinomas cancer when they get cancer, such as skin.
If something is benign, it is NOT cancer. Many cancers are treatable today. The one cancer that is usually always fatal is Pancreatic Cancer. The fact that cancer is so evasive means that it is never really cured. They call it remission-meaning that no cancer of it's type after treatment can be detected or is less that 1% of the total type of cells it is in. Cancer is caused by a mutation of some kind of cells DNA. the smallest strand of DNA , which contains the genetic material may have one or more strands that are mutated in some way causing the "cancer" - an abnormal growth of cells that is out of control. Early detection is the key.
Cancers like All forms of Leukemia can develop extremely slowly (follicular) and go undetected for an entire life time. Adult Leukemia usually presents itself later in life. 40 years and up. Treatments can include chemotherapy, radiation and even surgery to remove tumors if present. Treatment for adult Leukemia has come a long way in the last 20 years and survival rates are now into the 60-70% range. Anything over 50% is considered good.
I have AML....Acute Myleoyd Leukemia. I have been in treatment for 2 years.
I feel pretty good now but became very sick before I was diagnosed.
Cancer is much more common in people that most people realize.
The outcomes for the individual with uterine cancer are significantly related to the stage of the disease when cancer is found and treatment initiated. Early interventions can result in nearly 100% cure rates
What are the non capsulated benign tumors and the encapsulated malignant tumors?
Noncapsulated means uncapsulated that means not surrounded by any capsule...and encapsulated means with in the capsule or surrounded by a capsule
How do you know when you might have breast cancer?
Lump(s) will appear on your breasts. The lumps can come in all sizes, so if you notice any bumps on the outer skin of your breast(s), call your doctor and let him/her check you out; it's the most reasonable thing to do. Cancer can also makes you very tired and the body can ache like a infection. please support it...............
Feel around your breast, squeeze a tiny bit, and feel around for a lump, if there is one, there is a chance you do have cancer. If you find one, dont freak out, it might not even be cancer. Just go to your doctor and let him check it out, then they might do blood tests to make sure.
What is the colour of the blood that leaves the lungs?
Blood that is rich in oxygen appears red. Blood that is poor in oxygen appears blue.
Arteries are tough, elastic tubes that carry blood away from the heart. Veins carry the blood to the heart.
Smokers are at higher risk, as are individuals with certain types of the human papillomavirus (HPV), and those with long-term problems in the anal area, such as abnormal openings known as fistulas.
Why cancer is not a communicable disease?
Sometimes cancer can be seen as inherited and other times not. Genetics largely dictate who and what we are--our likes and dislikes for food, our predispositions for vital organ strengths and weaknesses. If it were not for our own unique genetics, we all might be butterflies, or sharks. In one study of identical twins separated at birth through adoptions, etc, it was found that one set of twins married persons having the same first names, lived in the same kind of house, had the same number of kids, and were employed in the same kind of field. The list of coincidental similarities between this pair goes much beyond this very short list. Genetics, it seems, may predetermine intelligence, and choice preferences for a large number of things. Sharks are needlessly being slaughtered because of demand for their cartilage because sharks do not seem to get cancer and it is thought by some cultures that consuming shark cartilage will greatly diminish the chances of getting cancer or that taking it will reverse the disease. So if it were not for our specific genetics, we might be sharks and never be susceptible to the disease. If through our likes and dislikes of how various food tastes (what might be considered a genetic predisposition) we started to eat a food that had a tendency to be contaminated with toxic substances that damaged our cellular DNA or RNA or whatever. Then this would influence the likelihood of us getting certain forms of cancer. In the study of identical twins, it was found that one twin might develop cancer, while the other one would not. To many scientists looking at this result, this is a clear indication that, strictly speaking, this form of cancer was not genetically inherited. However, the diet and environmental situations for both individuals was not scrutinized to a very low level of detail, and the causes of cancer are numerous, so the twin with the disease may have acquired it in any number of ways where the other twin may not have been exposed to the same environmental risk factors or dietary inputs. In recent years it has come to light that germ warfare labs have cross-cultured animal cancer viruses with that of humans, and that accidental or purposeful releases of such infectious agents has occurred too many times to be considered unplanned. It is thought by some medical scientists that the biological system in which a disease agent finds itself determines what kind of diseases manifest themselves, whether or not this is due to pleomorphic forms of pathogens or due to the promotion of the growth and spread of certain pathogens over others in certain environments is not certain. Some alternative medicine practitioners believe that certain toxic compounds attract the growth and development of certain germs, parasites, and fungi. They believe that by ridding one's body of certain of these toxic compounds, and those pathogen types, it greatly reduces the chances that the cancer will continue to grow. Each individual's genetics determines to a large extent the degree of susceptability to different diseases. See related links below...
What is the best treatment for early stage prostate cancer?
is a treatment option that may be less traumatic than RP and appears to have similar results when used in early-stage patients. Radiation also produces side effects, including impotence, in about half of patients. It can be applied through an external beam that directs the dose to the prostate from outside the body. FDA also has cleared low-dose radioactive "seeds," each about the size of a grain of rice, that are implanted within the prostate to kill cancer cells locally. Called brachytherapy, the seeding technique is sometimes combined with external-beam radiation for a "one-two punch." Studies done at the Georgia Center for Prostate Cancer Research and Treatment show that 68 percent of men treated with both radiation methods applied simultaneously are cancer free 10 years after treatment." , in which prostate tumors are killed by freezing, shows encouraging early results. But some medical professionals consider it experimental with not enough long-term data yet to determine its effectiveness. is often used in all phases of prostate cancer treatment to help block production or action of the male hormones that have been shown to fuel prostate cancer. Among widely used approved hormone blockers, often used in combination, are Lupron (leuprolide acetate), Casodex (bicalutamide), Eulexin (flutamide), Nilandron (nilutamide), and Zoladex (goserelin acetate implant). Because the testicles produce male hormones, some men also undergo testicle removal to cut off the hormone supply. Advanced prostate cancer patients are usually treated with any number of chemotherapeutic drugs such as Novantrone (mitoxantrone), which do not cure the disease but often do ease pain and other symptoms.

What are the symptoms of Stage 4 Cancer?
Hi,
Cancer has 5 stages. Every Stage is a way for physicians to know how advanced the cancer is and how aggresive is the cancer as well of the treatment. So saying this cancer stage 4 is very aggressive but not unbeatable and all depends where is the cancer and if it spread and again where? and if this is something related to you or somebody that you know; the best answers will come from the physicians involve.
my friend was told today that he had stage 4 melanoma and they removed a large part of the skin on top of his head. What good new do we have to loo forward too?
What is the difference between tuberculosis and cancer?
