Dr. Melamede says that the Cannabis flower is the most effective and versatile medicine known to humankind. It’s an overall nervous system tune-up.

By our inalienable rights we should be allowed to use it and grow it even for personal therapeutic use, without a doctors approval. It’s good for us. If smoking bothers you than take a dose of the oil.

Dr. James L. Campbell Jr., MD discusses Skin Cancer Melanoma Surgical and Medical Treatment. See more at http://www.dermnet.com PLEASE RATE AND COMMENT!!!
Surgical intervention and medical management Stages are defined in the table as shown For stage IA disease, surgical intervention might be the only necessary therapy with a 1.0-cm margin.

Re-excision with a 1.0-cm margin is recommended for tumors up to 2.0 mm thick and a margin of 2.0 cm is recommended for tumors up to 4.0 mm thick. Ulceration increases the risk of a lesion as the

Breslow level can be underestimated. Sentinel node biopsy should be considered for stage IB and all stage II patients, patients with melanomas greater than 1 mm in histologic depth. The number of

involved regional nodes is a stronger predictor of survival than the size of involved nodes. Sentinel lymph node status predicts both the risk of recurrence and mortality as shown. The therapeutic

benefit of lymph node biopsy and thus removal of microscopic metastases is currently under study. For stages IIB, IIC and III, adjuvant treatment is often recommended with high-dose interferon.

Oncology referral and/or tumor board review should be considered.

RAFTs scientists are working on the PREVENTION of melanoma, on therapeutic TREATMENT and on providing information for the public about SAFETY in the sun.

Skin cancer in the UK is on the increase. Almost every day of the year in the UK a woman between 20 and 29 is diagnosed with malignant melanoma the deadliest form of skin cancer. In this age range, there are twice as many cases of melanoma as there are of breast cancer. Malignant melanoma has now become the most common type of cancer for women in their 20s (CRUK figures).

Prevention
We are studying the different parts of sunlight – visible light, ultraviolet A and ultraviolet B that can trigger the onset of skin cancer. The team has uncovered a problem with current sunscreens which protect against burning from high UVB but give inadequate protection against free radical damage caused by UVA and visible light.

RAFT scientists are looking at how different skin types respond to this UVA and visible light. Dark skins are not necessarily safer from harm. The research has shown that melanin (the natural sunscreen produced during tanning) protects against damage when at the very high concentration found in Afro-Caribbean skin but when it is at lower concentrations it fails as a sunscreen. RAFT’s findings will reveal whether some people are more susceptible to skin cancer than others.

Treatment
The antioxidant system is the body’s natural defensive system against free radical damage. If this becomes unbalanced (as present in some cancers), one route to cancer therapy is to turn the cancer cells machinery against itself. A very well known antioxidant vitamin C appears to be more toxic to cancer cells than normal cells cultured in the laboratory. This is when it is given by intravenous injection at much higher levels than normally found in the body. Other antioxidants at high dose may also be effective at destroying cancer cells but not the normal cells.

Safety

As RAFTs groundbreaking research becomes more well known, young people will be able to make better informed decisions about safety in the sun. A good way to start is to keep your skin’s sun exposure to before 11am and after 3pm in the UK in summer months, and encourage your friends to do the same rather than take the risk of rushing a suntan and triggering deadly skin cancer.

According to the American Diabetes Association, diabetes is a disease in which the body does is not able to produce or properly use insulin. Insulin is a hormone that are bodies need to converts sugar, starches and other food into energy that we need for daily life. Although both genetics and environmental factors such as obesity and lack of exercise appear to play a role in having diabetes, the cause of diabetes continues to be a mystery.

There are about 23.6 million children and adults in the United States or 7.8% of the population ho suffer from diabetes. While there are an estimate of 17.9 million who have been diagnosed of diabetes, there are also 5.7 million people who are unaware that they have diabetes.

And example of how diabetes affects our bodies is diabetic foot wounds. Individuals who have diabetes suffer circulatory disorders that create inadequate levels of oxygen to support the healing of wounds. These wounds present major complications for modern health care and especially with the foot as it is a common site of infection. In Canada, there is an estimated 25% Canadians with diabetes who develop foot complications and 1 in 15 end up having a limb amputation during their lifetime.

Is diabetes a hopeless case? What could help in the cure for diabetes and wound healing? The answer to the first question is that diabetes is not a hopeless case, the second answer would be oxygen. Oxygen is one of the most powerful and versatile agents available to the modern medical practitioner today. The therapeutic use of oxygen under pressure has been used to assist in the healing of wounds for almost 40 years. This therapeutic use of oxygen under pressure is called hyperbaric oxygen chamber therapy (HBOT) and in the following paragraphs are its specific biological actions which can enhance diabetes and wound healing.

Nathan was a victim of a rare cancer called Neuroblastoma. He was diagnosed when he was age 4, and by then the cancer had already reached it’s fourth and final stage. He went through many surgeries and therapeutic treatments. He was a strong kid, and bared more than many adults can even handle. He will always be loved, always be missed, and forever stay in our hearts.

Acute Gastritis. The causes, natural history, and therapeutic implications of gastropathy differ from gastritis:
Gastropathy is usually caused by irritants such as drugs (eg, nonsteroidal antiinflammatory agents and alcohol), bile reflux, hypovolemia, and chronic congestion.
Gastritis is usually due to infectious agents (such as Helicobacter pylori) and autoimmune and hypersensitivity reactions. Acute gastritis may produce no symptoms but can be associated with short-lived dyspepsia, lack of appetite, nausea or vomiting. It can occasionally be severe enough to cause gastrointestinal bleeding with melena or hematemesis (see above). The most common cause is ingestion of aspirin or other non-steroidal anti-imflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It can also occur during the early stages of infection with the bacteria,
Helicobacter pylori “HP.” Most cases resolve by themselves, but endoscopy and biopsy may be required to exclude other conditions such as peptic ulcer disease or cancer. At endoscopy the inner lining of the stomach (mucosa) may appear swollen, reddened and inflamed. There may be small, shallow erosions (breaks in the surface lining) or even tiny areas of bleeding from the mucosa.
