Dysbiosis is an imbalance of intestinal micro flora, with a decrease in normal healthy flora and an increase in pathogenic micro flora.
Dysbiosis can result from antibiotic therapy, gastrointestinal tract infections or diarrhoea, surgery involving the intestinal tract, starvation, general illness, stress or a poor diet.
The common yeast Candida Albicans is present in every individual. Normally, the yeast lives harmlessly in the gastrointestinal tract. However, occasionally the yeast will overgrow and lead to significant disease. Candida overgrowth is believed to cause a wide variety of symptoms as part of a complex medical syndrome. ( the yeast syndrome or chronic candidiasis.) The major body systems most sensitive to the yeast are the gastrointestinal, genitourinary, endocrine, nervous and immune systems
Allergies have also been attributed to Candida overgrowth, but the worst symptom is malabsorption, which leads to decreased nutrient absorption in the blood(necessary for healing) and increased toxicity levels.
When dysbiosis is present in one's intestinal tract it leads to :
1. Malabsorption, therefore interfering with the normal absorption of nutrients and elimination of toxins and
2. Diminished immune system power by lacking of important nutrients and destroying the first defence barrier of the intestinal tract.
The successful treatment of chronic candidiasis involves reducing predisposing factors to Candida overgrowth.: decreased digestive secretions, diet, impaired immunity, nutrient deficiency, drugs, impaired liver function and underlying disease states.
One way and safe way to address dysbiosis is by paying attention to diet: all foods feeding the yeast and the parasites should be reduced/eliminated as much as possible; these foods happen to be prevalent in our western diet, therefore this task might not be as easily reachable as thought: all foods containing refined sugar, yeast, dairy and mold-forming(mushrooms, peanuts). This is a good start, which can be followed by supplementary reading and education in this respect; there are numerous educational aids available nowadays to help you get dysbiosis under control and speed up your natural recovery.

Understanding the True Nature of Pancreatic Cancer
The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network says that pancreatic cancer is the deadliest kind of cancer with a five-year survival rate of 5%. Less than 10% of people with pancreatic cancer are diagnosed before the tumors spread to other organs.
According to the American Cancer Society, "80% of [pancreatic cancer] patients are diagnosed too late to be helped by surgery. Of those that may be helped by surgery, fewer than 40% are cured." If surgery is an option, the typical survival rate is only 18 to 20 months.
In the article "The Contribution of Cytotoxic Chemotherapy to 5-year Survival in Adult Malignancies," the pancreatic cancer drug gemcitabine (Gemzar^a ) was reported to increase survival by only 5.4 months. It only stopped pancreatic cancer's progression for an average of 2.2 months. Overall, the study found that cytotoxic (or cell killing) chemo contributed about 2% to one's overall chance of survival.
With all this disheartening news, what can someone with pancreatic cancer do to fight this purported death sentence?
I ask you to think back on all the different things you've tried in your life to get rid of the hiccups. You've probably held your breath, stood on your head, drank water through a straw, put your head between your knees--even tried two of these methods at once. If you've ever considered the possibility that hiccups could be "scared" away by having someone sneak up behind you, then considering some pancreatic cancer treatments that are "outside of the box" shouldn't be a big leap!
Let's look to what some pioneering doctors can teach us about the true nature of cancer.
The founder of German New Medicine, Dr. Geerd Hamer, has conducted over 40,000 cancer case studies in the last 30 years. His German New Medicine regimen has a 95% cure rate. ("Cure" being defined by conventional medicine as surviving for 5 years after diagnosis.) In the last 10 years, German New Medicine has been tested and verified by physicians and medical associations around the world.
Dr. Hamer has found that cancer is not a disease state--it is a phase during some people's physical, mental, and emotional healing processes. He has also proven scientifically that cancer is not just some haywire proliferation of cells. In fact, Dr. Hamer's research has been so specific that he even determined that cancer of the pancreas was caused by "anxiety-anger conflicts with family members" as well as inheritances. Does this apply to you?
Another pioneering doctor, Dr. Arthur Janov, founder of Primal Therapy, says that cancer is caused by repressed feelings. "Repression cannot eliminate pain. It only puts us out of conscious contact with it so we don't feel the misery, but the damage goes on...The cells...become crazy. The same chronic repression welded to chronic pain that can make someone 'crazy' can possibly result in cancer."
Dr. Janov also says, "Active suffering may be a good antidote for cancer...It is not just pain that makes us sick; it is pain plus repression...All things being equal, the more you suffer consciously, the longer you will live..."
In his book Why You Get Sick and How You Get Well, Dr. Janov explains that the immune system is where the mind meets the body. He says that stress and poor psychological health alter cellular function. Things like criticism and neglect cause cells to malfunction, which lead to disease. None of this is ground-breaking as a number of other studies have arrived at the same conclusion.
Due to the painkillers our brains produce to protect us from trauma, the immune cells are forced to experience our emotional pain too. Additionally, the immune system must establish a knowingness of itself in order to detect what is a foreign invader in the body. Long-term emotional stress debilitates our immune cells' ability to recognize and fight invaders. This impairment of immune function leads not just to tumor growth but to bigger, more aggressive tumors.
The first step in beating pancreatic cancer is empowering yourself with knowledge of how cancer works, pondering the critical thinking of some field experts who are not apart of "the cancer industry," and learning to correct the imbalances in your body that have lead to pancreatic cancer. The Cancer Immunology Program at Australia's Cancer Centre has shown that the human immune system can stop the growth of tumors and cause them to become dormant.
This process has been called "equilibrium." During equilibrium, the body can, not just stop, but actually kill cancer cells.

Natural Cancer Treatment Vs Conventional Cancer Treatment
During anti cancer treatment (Conventional cancer treatment), it is difficult to protect the healthy cells of side effects caused by the drugs administered. Although the effects of treatment vary according to each patient and the medications used, all cancer patients suffer adverse effects of treatment that affect their skin, look and internal organs. An important part of the work of clinicians and patients is to precisely manage those potential side effects. The role of this article is to summarize the main side effects caused by different types of conventional cancer treatments and potential natural treatment (including nutrition, remedies and immunotherapy). Let's start with the conventional methods.
There are four (4) types of anti cancer treatment:
Surgery - Surgery, the oldest form of cancer treatment, is used in cancer treatment either to remove only the tumor, or the entire organ. Cancer surgery offers the greatest chance for cure of cancers that have not spread to other parts of the body. However, no matter how successful a surgery can be, it provokes one or all the following side effects:
- Risk of wound infection
- Damage to internal organs and blood vessels during surgery
- Blood clots can form in the deep veins of the legs after surgery, especially if a person remains in bed for a long time
- Reactions to anesthesia or other medicines. Although rare, these can be serious because they can cause dangerously low blood pressures.
- Problems with other organs, such as the lungs, heart, or kidneys. These are very rare but can happen and can be life-threatening.
Radiotherapy - Radiation therapy is the use of ionizing radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. It can be administered externally (external beam radiotherapy) or internally (brachytherapy). Unfortunately, radiation can cause severe blood changes including drop in production of new blood cells, nausea, anemia and vomiting. Other short/long-term side effects of radiotherapy may include:
- Irritation and burning of the skin
- Infertility - radiation to the testicles can cause permanent loss of sperm production
- Fatigue is a common effect of radiation. It may be linked to anemia or weakened immune system
- Brain disorder - radiation therapy to the brain can cause changes in brain function that can lead to memory loss, lower sexual desire, etc.
- Skin disorder - radiation therapy can make your skin become tender or sensitive. The skin may also become dry and itchy. Peeling of the skin may occur.
- Second cancers - the radiation itself can cause Second cancers (metastases)
- Erectile dysfunction - radiation therapy to the pelvis can damage the arteries and nerves that supply the penis and cause problems with erections
Chemotherapy - Chemotherapy is a systemic treatment, its effects affect both healthy cells as cancer cells. Generally, these effects depend to a large proportion of drugs prescribed and their dosage. The anti-cancer drugs quickly affect cell division. This means that the white blood cells, which fight against infection, are also affected.
This combination of factors explains why patients are more prone to infections and fatigue or even anemia during cancer treatment. Similarly, this change of cell division causes hair loss or alopecia. Intestinal disorders such as diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, and finally lesions in the mouth (mucositis) can be observed.
Hormonotherapy - Side effects caused by hormonotherapy depend largely on the type of treatment used and prescribed medicines. One of the drugs in hormonotherapy is called Tamoxifen: it has the effect of depriving cancer cells of estrogen. The Tamoxifen can cause hot flashes, irritation or vaginal discharge, nausea and irregular menstruation.
During and after cancer treatment (conventional treatment)
Here are some advices that can help: Keep your diet low in saturated fats. Use mostly unsaturated fats such as fish oil and flax seed oil which are rich in omega 3 fatty acids. Eat fruits and raw vegetables abundantly; fruits and cruciferous vegetables reduce the risk of all types of cancers and their reoccurrences. Increase your intake of calcium; High intake of calcium reduces the risk of certain type of cancers. Maintain a normal weight; too much body fat is associated with a great number of diseases. Eat foods rich in antioxidant nutrients. Do not smoke! Cigarette smoke, including second hand smoke, is the number one cause of lung cancer. Exercise regularly and keep your body hydrated by drinking a lot of fluids daily; Silver water is necessary. Increase your fiber consumption; It is proven in several researches high fiber lower the chances of having colorectal cancers. Reduce stress, anxiety and depression by laughing, praying and singing; prayer is key to opening the door of impossibility.
Natural cancer treatment
Alternative cancer treatment is the use of herbal remedies to address the causes of the cancer (not just the symptoms) and boost the immune system to fight against pathogens and help the body heal itself. Taken regularly, certain natural herbal remedies may help to maintain the healthy functioning of every cell in your body and strengthen the immune system to ensure continued health and vitality. As we all know, a healthy strong immune system is a key element in protecting the body against infection or diseases like cancer, as well as in the promotion of recovery after illness and during cancer treatment.
Our cancer remedies do that and more. As such the strong tonic effect of the ingredients in our natural cancer remedies, they are of great benefit in maintaining systemic as well as cellular health.

Curing Cancer With Herbal Remedies
Cancer is a class of diseases in which a group of cells display the traits of uncontrolled growth (growth and division beyond the normal limits), invasion (intrusion on and destruction of adjacent tissues), and sometimes metastasis (spread to other locations in the body via lymph or blood). These three malignant properties of cancers differentiate them from benign tumors, which are self-limited, do not invade or metastasize. Most cancers form a tumor but some, like leukemia, do not.
Curing cancer with herbal remedies - a case for shamans and herb women? Not at all, for many chemotherapies to fight cancer applied in modern medicine are natural products or were developed on the basis of natural substances. Thus, taxanes used in prostate and breast cancer treatment are made from yew trees. The popular periwinkle plant, which grows along the ground of many front yards, is the source of vinca alkaloids that are effective, for example, against malignant lymphomas. The modern anti-cancer drugs topotecan and irinotecan are derived from a constituent of the Chinese Happy Tree.
Camptotheca (happy tree) is a genus of medium-sized deciduous trees growing to 20 m tall, native to central China. They are usually included in the tupelo family Nyssaceae, but sometimes included (with the tupelos) in the dogwood family Cornaceae. Camptotheca is used to make Irinotecan, Topotecan, 9-Aminocamptothecin, and camptothecin-1 (CPT-1). There are two species: Camptotheca acuminata Decne. Camptotheca lowreyana S.Y.Li.
Looking for new compounds, doctors and scientists are increasingly focusing on substances from plants used in traditional medicine. About three quarters of the natural pharmaceutical compounds commonly used today are derived from plants of the traditional medicine of the people in various parts of the world. The chances of finding new substances with interesting working profiles in traditional medicinal plants are better than in common-or-garden botany.
In his search for active ingredients, Professor Dr. Thomas Efferth of the DKFZ has been concentrating on herbal remedies from traditional Chinese medicine with particularly well documented application range. Working together with colleagues in Mainz and Düsseldorf, Germany, Graz, Austria and Kunming in China, he launched a systematic compound search in 76 Chinese medicinal plants that are believed to be effective against malignant tumors and other growths. First results of this study have now been published.
"With this success rate of about 24 percent, we are way above the results that could be expected from searching through large chemical substance libraries," Thomas Efferth said.
The scientists proceeded to chemically separate, step by step, all active extracts, tracing the active component after each separation step by cell tests. The chemical structure of the compounds is analyzed using nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectroscopy. "We are combining natural substance research with advanced analytical and molecular-biological methods", Efferth explains. "Plant constituents that seem particularly promising are immediately subjected to further tests." Such constituents include, for example, substances derived from the Rangoon Creeper, an ornamental plant with red flowers, or from Red-Root Sage. The latter contains three ingredients with powerful anti-tumor activity. The substances were found to suppress the growth of a specific tumor cell line that is particularly resistant to many commonly used cytotoxins due to overproduction of a transport protein in the cell wall. In contrast, a whole range of standard anti-cancer drugs fail to be effective against this cell.
"We can expect to find many interesting, yet unknown working mechanisms among the chemically highly diverse natural substances. Currently, we are aligning the effectiveness of the substances on 60 different cancer cell lines with the gene activity profiles of these cells. Thus, we can determine the exact gene products that are the cellular targets of our compounds. Thereby, it may be possible to discover whole new Achilles' heels of the cancer cell," said Efferth describing the next steps.

Two Major Causes of Cancer Are Diet and Environmental Factors
If the body receives a cutting injury, cells know when to stop reproducing once they have "filled in" a cut. With cancer, one cell gets the idea to reproduce and begins doing so for no apparent reason. The cells that it reproduces form a hard lump. This is cancer. Often a cell from this lump, or tumor, will spread to another part of the body and begin reproduction there. hese cells are not receptive to the normal signal to stop.
Two major causes of cancer are diet and environmental factors, or carcinogens, such as heavy metals, pesticides, and chemicals, both of which can suppress immune system function. Stress is also a factor in the development of cancer as well as the exacerbation of cancer itself.
Poor oxygenation, which can result from inadequate exercise, stress, certain medications such as estrogen and cortisol, provides an environment in which cancer cells can grow. As long ago as 1966, Otto Warburg, a two-time Nobel Laureate, said that while cancer has many secondary causes, it has only one prime cause: lack of oxygen in the body's cells! Consequently, anything that increases oxygenation at the level of the cells can inhibit cancerous growth.
Recommendations for prevention and treatment
1. Reduce your stress levels. Find constructive solutions for emotions such as hate, anger, extreme sadness, and depression. Biofeedback can be helpful in controlling emotions. Great progress is being made in the area of non-cognitive biofeedback, a technology that recycles the body's heart variations as a means of treating dysfunctions of the autonomic nervous system or your body's unconscious control mechanisms.
2. If you are overweight...lose it. High body fat in obesity increases estrogen production, which increases cancer rates in both men and women.
3. If you smoke...stop! Reduce or eliminate your consumption of socially accepted poisons such as coffee and alcohol. Reduce your consumption of red meat. Avoid hydrogenated fats such as margarine and vegetable oil. Increase the fiber, such as raw fruits and vegetables, in your diet and exercise regularly.
4. Avoid excess iron supplements and "iron-fortified" foods. Increased iron levels suppress the cancer-killing function of macrophages, interferes with lymphocytes, and contribute to the development of leukemia and lymphoma. The body's iron accumulation tends to increase with age. Copper supplementation, such as in a multi-mineral complex, can antagonize the effect of excess iron. In addition, avoid unsaturated fatty acids, calcium supplements, and reduce your estrogen levels. These factors all increase iron absorption and accumulation.
5. Drink only purified water, preferably reverse osmosis or steam distilled. Avoid tap water, especially if it's fluoridated. Heavy elements such as chlorine and fluoride are known carcinogens.
6. Supplement with antioxidants such as vitamins A, C, E, Coenzyme Q10, Bioflavonoids, superoxide dismutase, and proteolytic enzymes; minerals such as zinc, magnesium, and selenium; and fresh, cold-pressed flax seed oil (which contains essential fatty acids) along with coconut oil (which is a medium-chain triglyceride that promotes metabolism and thyroid function). B-complex is necessary for normal cell division. Dimethyglycine, or DMG, germanium, and stabilized oxygen (such as Aerobic 07) improve oxygenation of the cells. All supplements should be from natural sources only.
7. Herbs such as pau d'arco, burdock root, red clover, and chaparral all have anti-cancer activity and are excellent additions to a cancer therapy program.
8. Homeopathics helpful in cancerous conditions include Conium Mac, Viscum Album, and Carcinosinum. The inherited weakness, known as a "miasm," should also be investigated. Viscum (a.k.a. Iscador) can be taken subcutaneously according to a specific protocol developed by homeopathic and anthropormophic physicians for the treatment of cancer.
9. Increase your concentration of oxygen at the level of the cells. Oxygen Multistep Therapy and Hyperbaric Oxygen are two medical treatments that can be use to accomplish this purpose.
10. Reduce your body burden level of heavy metals. (See "Chelation Therapy.") A recent study revealed that people who undergo Heavy Metal Detoxification Therapy have a 90% reduced risk of developing cancer. This seems to implicate a very strong association between exposure to environmental pollutants and cancer.
11. Take sublingual fermented lactobacillus 1-3 packet three times daily for immune stimulation.
12. Gentle skin detoxification through a medical spa with steam sauna, infrared sauna, and/or contrast shower will help eliminate body poisons without side effects.
In general, you should eat as close to nature as possible. Foods to which you are found to be sensitive should initially be eliminated from the diet for at least six weeks. Once reintroduced, foods should ideally be rotated every four days. Interestingly, we often tend to be allergic to the foods we either eat the most often or rarely at all. In other words, variety in our diet may be the spice of food allergy prevention.
Two major causes of cancer are diet and environmental factors, or carcinogens, such as heavy metals, pesticides, and chemicals, both of which can suppress immune system function. Stress is also a factor in the development of cancer as well as the exacerbation of cancer itself.
Poor oxygenation, which can result from inadequate exercise, stress, certain medications such as estrogen and cortisol, provides an environment in which cancer cells can grow. As long ago as 1966, Otto Warburg, a two-time Nobel Laureate, said that while cancer has many secondary causes, it has only one prime cause: lack of oxygen in the body's cells! Consequently, anything that increases oxygenation at the level of the cells can inhibit cancerous growth.
Recommendations for prevention and treatment
1. Reduce your stress levels. Find constructive solutions for emotions such as hate, anger, extreme sadness, and depression. Biofeedback can be helpful in controlling emotions. Great progress is being made in the area of non-cognitive biofeedback, a technology that recycles the body's heart variations as a means of treating dysfunctions of the autonomic nervous system or your body's unconscious control mechanisms.
2. If you are overweight...lose it. High body fat in obesity increases estrogen production, which increases cancer rates in both men and women.
3. If you smoke...stop! Reduce or eliminate your consumption of socially accepted poisons such as coffee and alcohol. Reduce your consumption of red meat. Avoid hydrogenated fats such as margarine and vegetable oil. Increase the fiber, such as raw fruits and vegetables, in your diet and exercise regularly.
4. Avoid excess iron supplements and "iron-fortified" foods. Increased iron levels suppress the cancer-killing function of macrophages, interferes with lymphocytes, and contribute to the development of leukemia and lymphoma. The body's iron accumulation tends to increase with age. Copper supplementation, such as in a multi-mineral complex, can antagonize the effect of excess iron. In addition, avoid unsaturated fatty acids, calcium supplements, and reduce your estrogen levels. These factors all increase iron absorption and accumulation.
