A cure for cancer exists through the use of yoga, a San Antonio, Texas, cancer specialist said during a seminar in Oklahoma City in the 1980s. But physicians refused to acknowledge the cure, said Col. Hansa Raval, M.D., a pathologist with the United States Army. Dr. Raval said her work in cytotechnology _ a diagnostic branch of medicine designed to pinpoint early stages of cancer _ was fruitless until she began researching the use of...more
Nearly all individuals assume that the sole concern associated with a medical malpractice claim, like one regarding a delayed cancer diagnosis, is whether the doctor erred. But this is merely one factor that an attorney must address when analyzing a potential case. There are 2 other factors that attorneys consider. First, did the doctor's mistake cause harm to the patient. Second, is the harm enough that it makes sense economically to pursue a lawsuit.The medical records typically uncover the information that was available to the physician, for example high PSA test results or abnormal findings on a physical examination of the prostate. These are the two tests that are commonly used to screen asymptomatic males for prostate cancer. Determining the delay that resulted from the doctor's malpractice is normally calculated by checking medical records for dates when the doctor either failed to follow the screening protocols or report abnormal test results, when the cancer likely started to grow, and when it was finally diagnosed.What may be harder to establish is the extent of the harm to the plaintiff. Except if the PSA surpasses at least a 10.0 (a PSa reading above a 4.0...more

Fucoidan is a substance commonly found in certain varieties of brown seaweed. Scientists have been meticulously studying its nutritional value for years--and now, thanks to efforts of some Japanese researchers, we know that it has value as a cancer-fighting agent. You won't find fucoidan in the types of artificial vitamin supplements available at most pharmacies and supermarkets. You'll only find it in natural, seaweed health supplements, like Super Sea Veg.Fucoidan is a sulfated polysaccharide found in many types of edible brown seaweeds common in Japanese cuisine, like kombu and wakame. It has also been found in the flesh of certain types of edible sea creatures, like sea cucumbers. Trials by a team of Japanese researchers have shown that fucoidan can kill certain kinds of lymphoma cells, meaning it might be an effective preventative for certain types of cancer. If you're worried about the deleterious effects of our toxic environment on your body [and who isn't?] you might want to start considering upping your daily intake of seaweed.Because Super Sea Veg is composed of a blend of the world's healthiest seaweeds, culled from pristine ocean waters around the globe, it is a...more
