Alternative Radiation Cream Treat Skin Cancer Without Surgery

Health for human | Although quite effective, surgical removal of skin cancer is often not preferred because it leaves a scar. Now there are alternatives to cure it, namely the efficacy of radiation with the cream has been clinically tested in Italy.

The test cream containing radioactive substances rhenium-188 was conducted in several hospitals in Italy, involving 700 patients with skin cancer. Quoted from Dailymail, Friday (01/06/2012), its effectiveness to kill cancer observed in these trials is quite high at 95 percent.

In addition to not leave scars, skin cancer treatment with radiation cream also has another advantage. For example, can reach cancer cells particularly difficult locations may not face such an operation on the surface of the eye or ear.

Another plus is very easy to use. Cream is packaged in a plaster lives taped, and then within 2 hours of exposure to radiation will work to kill cancer cells specifically claimed that side effects are very minimal.

Types of skin cancer can be cured by this cream is basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, which has a medium level of malignancy. As for malignant melanoma, experts do not recommend the use of these creams and more recommend surgery.

However, this breakthrough gives great hope for patients with skin cancer which is very much. For this type of carcinoma cancer alone, either basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell can infect every year 100,000 patients throughout New England.

Unfortunately due to experiments performed is still very limited, this cream has not received marketing authorization and still have to undergo some refinement. But it is expected, within two years of this cream will be available in the European market and beyond.

Alternative Options for Treating Allergic Rhinitis

Here in northern California, allergies are a significant health problem leading to fatigue, sick days from work and school, and secondary infections. Allergic rhinitis is a reaction to seasonal airborne allergens. It affects about 7 percent of the population of North America and is a risk factor for 88 percent of asthma patients. We have some excellent prescription medications for treating this, and there are many over-the-counter medications available also. However, BEWARE of the sedating effects of those nonprescription medications!!! Recent studies have shown that an individual on a therapeutic dose of diphenhydramine (Benedryl) is a more dangerous driver than one who is legally drunk on alcohol.

Fortunately, there are also some effective alternative therapies for allergic rhinitis.

Remember: no matter what method you use to treat your allergies, nasal rinsing to clear the mucus membranes of trapped allergens is essential. It only takes about 30 seconds, doesnt hurt a bit when done correctly, and makes all the difference. I recommend Nasopure®, a product developed by Dr. Hana Solomon, a pediatrician who has put together in one simple kit all you need for successful nasal rinsing. There is an excellent article about this on the Nasopure website (www.nasopure.com). If you are regularly using your Nasopure®, and still having difficulties, you can try some of the following remedies without significant side effects.

Vitamin and mineral supplements:

* Vitamin A - 10,000 IU/day

* Vitamin B6 - 50-100 mg/day

* Vitamin B5 - 50-75 mg/day

* Vitamin C - 1,000 mg/day in 3 divided doses

* Vitamin E - 400 IU/day

* Zinc - 20-30 mg/day

In addition some herbs and nutrients can help:

Quercetin has anti-allergy and anti-inflammatory effects if you take it 250mg two or three times a day.

Freeze-dried stinging nettles (Urtica dioica) can relieve symptoms of allergic rhinitis at a dosage of 300mg twice a day.

Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), also called fish oil, can help asthma patients with allergies by stabilizing the airways. They come in capsules and the total dose of the combination should be 2-4 g/day.

Acupuncture has given many patients significant relief. The Chinese medicine paradigm is very different than Western medicine, so I can not explain the mechanism of action. But I know that it is effective!

See your doctor about allergy symptoms if you are unable to manage them on your own - the nonsedating antihistamines and anti-inflammatory nasal sprays available today are excellent in treating this significant health problem!
