Eating fatty foods, drinking alcohol and smoking regularly increase the likelihood of cancer. One-third of the 500,000 cancer deaths occur due to dietary factors. Another third due to cigarette smoking. Medical research has shown that 80 percent of the causes of cancer have been identified and are preventable. Cancer is caused by external carcinogens, like chemicals, radiation, and viruses, as well as internal factors, like hormones, immune conditions, and inherited mutations. Cancer prevention Research has identified vitamins, minerals, herbs, and vitamins that will act to prevent, or prevent the spread of cancer. This research has propelled people to turn towards alternative medicine to ward off cancer. Early detection examinations can help save lives and reduce suffering from most forms of cancer. Some of these cancers can be detected by self-examinations [breast examinations], physical examinations by a health professionals [skin cancer], or by x-rays and blood tests. The most conventional methods for treating are chemotherapy, surgery and radiation. The growing trend of alternative medicine in fighting cancer has been well documented by medical doctors. Some vitamins, minerals, herbs and supplements actually work as inhibitors, preventing abnormal cells from growing. Unlike surgery and chemotherapy, these natural remedies have no deleterious side effects. Carotenoids, the pigment that give fruits and vegetables its dark green and yellow color, have been shown to prevent cancer. Beta-Carotene, present in yellow and green vegetables, helps protect against lung cancer and may help prevent cancers of the bladder, mouth, larynx, esophagus, breast and others. Vitamin C may also lower the risks for cancers of the esophagus and stomach. Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant, neutralizing cancer-causing chemicals that form in the body. It also blocks the conversion of nitrates to cancer-causing nitrosamines in the stomach. Vitamin E is also touted as an anti-oxidant that prevents cells from damage by free radicals and fights off cancer. Selenium has been found to have the same antioxidant effects as Vitamin C and Beta-Carotene. Vitamin B has also been found to have this effect. While the final verdict is not back, Ginseng has been found in many studies to inhibit the formation of tumors. This research has been very successful in animals, but conclusive human studies have not yet yielded concrete results. Preliminary studies have also revealed that Cat's Claw has tumor inhibiting and immune-stimulating properties. Garlic is toxic to some tumor cells. The pungent flavor from garlic detoxifies potential carcinogens. Garlic extract has slowed the growth of breast, skin, and colon cancers in mice. Vitamin D has also been shown to be a viable option for the prevention of skin cancer.
