The EWG has been attempting to expand awareness for many years.  I myself have been attempting to let individuals know by way of my blog and articles published on eZinearticles.com   It is great to see that other people are working to help as well. Although there are quite a few worries, the primary one is cancer.  Many of the chemical compounds accepted for use in cosmetics are acknowledged or suspected carcinogens.  Plant derived substances like wakame kelp are safe and effective.

The theory is that tiny fragments of a tumor break away and circulate in the blood — and it is these that the new test is trying to capture. Although similar technology currently exists, it is only able to trap a minute number of cells. But new technology is being developed that is aimed at capturing thousands and being able to detail treatment for that specific cancer right in the lab before subjecting a person to treatment. We are still not there yet, but initial discussions about cancer treatment using this new type of testing include words like “breakthrough” and “revolutionalize.�...

We do share your anger and we will only put closure on our father’s passing away once doctors know there are metastatic liver cancer survivors. Just imagine: your doctor was the pharaoh’s doctor: if the pharaoh dies, the doctor would be killed and buried next to him… How much effort do you think this kind of doctor would put into finding a cure? For sure he wouldn’t dare to act like your dad’s oncologist: I went through the trouble of downloading all of the information for my dad’s oncologist but he was not receptive to reading it as he claimed he was too busy. To cure a person with secondary liver cancer, we repeat: you have to do everything right. Obviously you are a far cry away from "everything" when you do...

In December 2007, journalist, teacher, technical writer and website designer, Emru Townsend was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of leukemia. His only chance was getting bone marrow and the chance of finding a matching donor were very slim. Emru was of Caribbean descent and that ethnic group is sorely under-represented in the bone marrow registries of North America. Against all odds, a match was found and in early September 2008, Emru received a stem cell transplant and things looked up at first. Unfortunately, the leukemia was too strong and he lost his fight on November 11, at around 10 pm. Emru was a popular figure in the writing community. Many members of the Profes...

Indolent lymphoma, or lymphoma that resists treatment, is difficult to treat and is not currently curable. Treanda, while not a cure, may help slow down its progress. The United States FDA had already approved use of Treanda for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).

Stomach cancer is more readily treated when caught early. Unfortunately, by the time stomach cancer causes symptoms, it’s often at an advanced stage and may have spread beyond the stomach. Yet there is encouraging news. You can reduce your risk of stomach cancer by making a few changes in your lifestyle.” Now Rhode Island researchers have identified two potential molecular markers ...

Results are promising in that the non-toxic method weakens and kills cancers in a new way."This strategy targets cancer cells by their inflammatory response," explains Dr. Jamison, developer of Apatone. "It's a different approach than most other anti-tumor drugs, which target dividing cells or the development of blood vessels within the tumor.
