The Breast Cancer Drug

Tamoxifen is a drug that interferes with the activity of estrogen particularly in the mammary glands of women. It has been used to treat and prevent Breast Cancer (BC) for the past 3 decades. BC cells needs estrogen to grow. Without estrogen these cells are deprived of their vital nutrition and may die. This principle is used when Tamoxifen drug was formulated. Tamoxifen binds with the estrogen receptors in the breast thereby depriving breast cancer cells of vital protein in estrogen. To put it in layman's terms imagine an auditorium with a limited number of seats and assume the auditorium manager gives advance information to all the well behaved people and books their tickets. The auditorium gets filled with all the good guys the unruly bad elements who come late do not get a place inside. The show in the auditorium goes on without any trouble or untoward events. In this case the good guys are the molecules in the Tamoxifen which bind to estrogen receptors and the bad elements are the breast cancer cells. This process is also known as competitive antagonism.

Tamoxifen is effective only in estrogen receptor positive BC cases. It does not have any effect on progesterone receptor breast cancer and HER2/neu (Human Epidermal growth factor Receptor 2)BC. But the good news is that almost 70% of all the breast cancer cases are Estrogen receptor positive ones and this drug can very effectively treat breast cancer and even prevent it well in advance.

But there is a major catch and use of this drug is not without a cost. No it does not pinch the wallet that much even if insurance does not cover it in some cases. Tamoxifen is off the patent since 2002. It is now classified as a generic drug. It's price has dropped drastically ever since. Even though Tamoxifen is very effective it is not commonly prescribed as a preventive medicine because of it's chronic side effects. This drug is known to trigger uterine or endometrial cancer in many women. The risk of developing this type of cancer is quadrupled even after using Tamoxifen for as low as 2 years. American Cancer Society has listed Tamoxifen as a known carcinogen. In many women this drug is known to cause a spurt in triglyceride levels as well as fatty liver syndrome. Needless to say these are not good for heart or liver.

Tamoxifen can have adverse effect on the central nervous. It can severely impair cognition and memory. A good number of patients who are prescribed this drug experience a severe drop in sexual drive and libido. As in case of any risky treatment a cost benefit assessment has to be made. Breast cancer is a serious and fatal disease. If Tamoxifen has been assessed to be very beneficial in a particular patient's case then it has to be used. There are well established preventive and alleviating treatments for the side effects caused by Tamoxifen.

What is a Pap Smear?


The Pap smear for cancer of the cervix in women. They can help determine if you are at an increased risk of cervical cancer as well. When doctors perform pap smears, they collect the cervical cells for testing.

Your neck is a few inches inside your vagina. A speculum is inserted, so the doctor can easily access your cervix. The cell samples were taken with a small brush or spatula.

Pap smear helps doctors find cancers or cancer cells. Early detection is useful in the treatment of cervical cancer and can significantly improve the ability to overcome this disease. pap-test allows a doctor to start treatment of abnormal cells or cancer. This can help prevent the development of cancer.

In addition to pap, the doctor will usually also performs a pelvic exam. This is basically a revision of the anatomy of the external genitalia, uterus, vagina and ovaries.

It is recommended that you have a Pap smear every year after reaching adulthood. If you suspect, you can use in your past adolescence. If still the results are normal, your doctor may recommend that you only have a Pap smear every two to three years. If anomalies are detected, it is recommended that you have more frequent testing. You may also need more frequent testing if you have no immunity from problems such as HIV.

If abnormal cells are very few present can not be detected in the Pap smear. Cervical cancer develops over many years, you will probably notice the following Pap smear with no serious consequences. That's another reason why it is important to do your regular Pap smear.

Before going to the OB/GYN for a Pap smear, there are some steps you should follow. Douching may also affect test results.

Alkalizing Fluid Electrolytes - The Perfect Alkaline Water Solution!

Alkalizing electrolytes provide the electrical charge and electrical conductivity that keeps the heart, muscles, and nervous system working properly. Diet, climate, stress, exercise, illness, and medications all impact electrolyte levels because they draw upon these electrolytes to buffer respiratory, dietary, metabolic and environmental acids.

Common signs of alkalizing electrolyte imbalances are low or high blood pressure, fatigue, circulation problems, any illness or dis-ease which also presents a low alkaline pH at 7.4 or lower of the saliva and urine.
Once your alkaline electrolyte balance is lost, drinking plain non-alkaline water won't help! Drinking plain non=alkaline water will dilute electrolytes or create greater electrolyte imbalances. Mineral water contains a variety of minerals that can further skew the imbalance of electrolytes. 'Sports' drinks provide mostly acidic carbohydrates, not alkalizing electrolytes.
My pH Miracle Alkalizing Electrolyte Replacement Water is the ONLY balanced, isotonic oral alkalizing electrolyte drink on the market today.
This milliequivalent alkalizing mineral rich formula will provide plasma electrolytes without upsetting the body's natural mineral balance or adding acidic carbohydrate. My pH Miracle Alkalizing Electrolyte Drink Replacements are offered in three formulas - pH Miracle Green Label with a pH of 7.4, pH Miracle Blue Label with a pH of 8.4 and pH Miracle Purple Label with a pH of 9.4.

pH Miracle Green Label Electrolyte Drink Replacement with a pH of 7.4 contains normal electrolyte ratios of sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium and is appropriate for those individuals who have normal ratios of sodium and potassium and have normal blood pressure. This product is isotonic.


Blue Label Electrolyte Drink Replacement with a pH of 8.4 contains a higher level of sodium and magnesium and is appropriate for those individuals who have low levels of sodium and magnesium and may have low blood pressure. This formula is hypertonic.


Purple Label Electrolyte Drink Replacement with a pH of 9.4 contains a higher level of potassium and is appropriate for those who have low levels of potassium and may have high blood pressure. This formula is super-hypertonic.

What Makes This Electrolyte Drink Different ?

In one word “Density pH Miracle Water”! Dr. Robert O. Young has developed a process to generate a pH Balanced“Free Floating Colloidal Orbital Solution” to stabilize blood plasma ions.

Special Formula Allows You To Judge By Taste How Much Electrolyte Alkalizing Replacement You Need!

Holding an electrical charge to allow a less dense particle to free float in the solution will allow each individual to be the judge by taste as to how much electrolyte and alkalizing the body needs at that time. This way your individual body will absorb whatever electrolytes and alkalzing hydroxl ions it needs and excretes what it doesn’t.

Big Corporations Have Failed Trying To Copy This Electrolyte Drink!

Many doctors and companies have tried in vain to copy these unique alkalzing electrolyte solutions only to end up with a simple acidic sugar drink.

Sugars are All Acids and Cancel Out the Electrical Potential Of Electrolytes.

Be wary of trying to replace vital alkalizing electrolytes and hydroxl ions with sports drinks or plain water. Sugar and hydrogen ions in any form cancel out the electrical potential or negaive charge of fluid free-floating alkalzing electrolytes.
With the exception of a handful of other Research Scientists, Dr. Robert O. Young has created the one and only taste sensitive alkalzing electrolyte and hydroxl ion replacement solution based on human blood chemistry.

Epigenetic, Radiations, and Environmental Cancers

The epigenetic is a new approach of the genetics, it is a discovery which will completely upset not only the understanding of our genes, but also the apprehension of many pathologies currently considered to be in exponential growth. Under the epigenetic term are defined and gathered mainly all the modifications of the expression of our genes generated by the influence of the environmental polluting factors which are often closely related to our lifestyle: this looks like a scientific revolution.


The complete file of Wikipedia concerning the epigenetic [U.K.] states: [Fr version] “... The epimutations are much more frequent than the traditional changes of the DNA... the epigenetic phenomena covers the paramutations, the gene extinction, the Inactivation of the X chromosome, the position effect, the reprogramming, the regulation of the histone modifications and the heterochromatin. They are among others implied in the evolution of cancers, teratogenesis”.


Until now, there was an immutably admitted thesis about the association of the certainties of biology and genetics; Epigenetics disrupts all these certainties about the notion of balance, it is not a gene change, but a change in its expression following an upheaval of its balance. In other words, it is proven today that medical pathologies such as environmental cancers originate in imbalances (mutations) resulting from perennial actions of multiple pollutants. Nowadays, even if the environmental polluting factors causing epigenetic modifications were not all listed, the main and new contributor is the irradiation by the artificial Electromagnetic Fields High frequencies microwaves.


Until now it was admitted that the few tens of thousands of genes which we are carrying and which “code” our individual characteristics were definitively fixed with our birth, except mutations in certain specific cases which could lead to medical pathologies. Nevertheless, it was noted that the uncontrolled multiplication by a permanent “over addition” in our environment of artificial radiations HF microwaves of strong energy values raises now many questions about the balance of our ...genes evolving in a radiative bath!.

A positive side can be the medical application of a specific epigenetic effect [U.K.] can be salutary on the modification of a gene of a pathology and causes the cure of patients, it is a great hope.


The result which follows from the discovery of epigenetic is very clear; our environment does not only directly influence our health, which we had always known, but it does also influence our genes by causing expression mutations which can generate pathologies such as cancers. This is a major new information.

In other words, those who allow to themselves by many stratagems to pollute (irradiate) us are thus in part directly responsible for our cancers. Some can be named; they are the giants of the industry of mobile telecommunications with their secure incomes they take part in the financings of the scientific studies, even directly scientists in conflict of interest who agree to skew the results. In the same way, the armada of the lobbying acts in many different ways in order to balance or to destroy the evidence and make continue the obnoxious system. And if that is not sufficient, they will bait themselves by all means to hammer out the discredit of the scientists independent from the BioInitiative report by an endless replication of the positive scientific studies to incline the scales towards the wished side so that the politicians can say: “The scientific literature shows that there is no sufficient proof of harmful effects according to the current protective standards”. Moreover, with the absence of basic training, most doctors are completely ignorant and have no idea of the impact of the artificial EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) on people.


Unfortunately, unlike the air pollution, Electrosmog cannot be seen, which made worse its dangerousness and complicated the spread of information. Nevertheless, things are changing facing facts.


The discovery of the epigenetic which questions the admitted thesis about the genetics and the causes able to

modify genes, is one of the major elements which should contribute to a complete change in the data of the

approach on the origin of the currently noted explosion of environmental cancers.

NUTRIENT DEFICIENCIES CAUSED BY PRESCRIPTION DRUGS



NUTRIENT DEFICIENCIES FROM BIRTH CONTROL PILLS









Your MultiVit is NOT Dangerous

What Kind of Medical Study Would Have Grandma Believe that Her Daily Multivitamin is Dangerous?





by Robert G. Smith, PhD



(OMNS, Oct 12, 2011) A newly released study suggests that multivitamin and nutrient supplements can increase the mortality rate in older women [1]. However, there are several concerns about the study's methods and significance.


  • The study was observational, in which participants filled out a survey about their eating habits and their use of supplements. It reports only a small increase in overall mortality (1%) from those taking multivitamins. This is a small effect, not much larger than would be expected by chance. Generalizing from such a small effect is not scientific.

  • The study actually reported that taking supplements of B-complex, vitamins C, D, E, and calcium and magnesium were associated with a lower risk of mortality. But this was not emphasized in the abstract, leading the non-specialist to think that all supplements were associated with mortality. The report did not determine the amounts of vitamin and nutrient supplements taken, nor whether they were artificial or natural. Further, most of the association with mortality came from the use of iron and copper supplements, which are known to be potentially inflammatory and toxic when taken by older people, because they tend to accumulate in the body [2,3,4]. The risk from taking iron supplements should not be generalized to imply that all vitamin and nutrient supplements are harmful.

  • The study lacks scientific plausibility for several reasons. It tabulated results from surveys of 38,000 older women, based on their recall of what they ate over an 18-year period. But they were only surveyed 3 times during that period, relying only on their memory of what foods and supplements they took. This factor alone causes the study to be unreliable.

  • Some of these women smoked (~15%) or had previously (~35%), some drank alcohol (~45%), some had high blood pressure (~40%), and many of them developed heart disease and/or cancer. Some preexisting medical conditions were taken into account by adjusting the risk factors, but this caused the study to contradict what we already know about efficacy of supplements. For example, the study reports an increase in mortality from taking vitamin D, when adjusted for several health-relevant factors. However, vitamin D has recently been clearly shown to be helpful in preventing heart disease [5] and many types of cancer [6], which are major causes of death. Furthermore, supplement users were twice as likely to be on hormone replacement therapy, which is a more plausible explanation for increased mortality than taking supplements.

  • The effect of doctor recommendations was not taken into account. By their own repeated admissions, medical doctors and hospital nutritionists are more likely to recommend a daily multivitamin, and only a multivitamin, for their sicker patients. The study did not take this into account. All it did was tabulate deaths and attempt to correct the numbers for some prior health conditions. The numbers reported do not reflect other factors such as developing disease, side effects of pharmaceutical prescriptions, or other possible causes for the mortality. The study only reports statistical correlations, and gives no plausible cause for a claimed increase in mortality from multivitamin supplements.

  • The effect of education was not taken into account. When a doctor gives advice about illnesses, well-educated people will often respond by trying to be proactive. Some will take drugs prescribed by the doctor, and some will try to eat a better diet, including supplements of vitamins and nutrients. This is suggested by the study itself: the supplement users in the survey had more education than those who did not take supplements. It seems likely, therefore, the participants who got sick were more likely to have taken supplements. Because those who got sick are also more likely to die, it stands to reason that they would also be more likely to have taken supplements. This effect is purely statistical; it does not represent an increase in risk that taking supplements of vitamins and essential nutrients will cause disease or death. This type of statistical correlation is very common in observational health studies and those who are health-conscious should not be confounded by it.

  • The known safety of vitamin and nutrient supplements when taken at appropriate doses was not taken into account. The participants most likely took a simple multivitamin tablet, which contains low doses. Much higher doses are also safe [4,7], implying that the low doses in common multivitamin tablets are very safe. Further, because each individual requires different amounts of vitamins and nutrients, some people must take much higher doses for best health [8].



Summary: In an observational study of older women in good health, it was said that those who died were more likely to have taken multivitamin and nutrient supplements than those who did not. The effect was small, and does not indicate any reason for disease or death. Instead, the study's methods suggest that people who have serious health conditions take vitamin and mineral supplements because they know that supplements can help. Indeed, the study showed a benefit from taking B-complex, C, D, and E vitamins, and calcium and magnesium. Therefore, if those wanting better health would take appropriate doses of supplements regularly, they would likely continue to achieve better health and longer life.

JAMA Article Is No Reason Not to Take Your Multivitamins


WASHINGTON, D.C. – Statement from Natural Products Association (NPA) Vice President of Scientific and Regulatory Affairs Cara Welch, Ph.D., about recent concerns regarding the alleged risks of dietary supplements in the Archives of Internal Medicine:

"The Natural Products Association advocates that consumers use dietary supplements as part of a healthy lifestyle. Most vitamin and mineral supplements are taken to address or prevent deficiencies. While we would prefer that Americans get these nutrients from their diet, studies have consistently shown that they do not take in the essential compounds they need.

I'm always pleased to see analysis on the long-term effects of supplementation. This study, however, is quite limited in scope; the data is observational and self-reported so contributing factors are not addressed. Subsequently, the authors cannot conclude any cause and effect and there is no reason why women should change what they're doing based on this report.

There are plenty of studies published that demonstrate the benefit of supplementation and fortification. This specific study should not dissuade the general public from the benefits of addressing a vitamin or mineral deficiency with dietary supplements. As always, consumers should discuss their supplement usage with their health care professional."




And from the UK -









Multivitamin study is “classic example of scientific reductionism”





By Shane Starling, 12-Oct-2011


Related topics: Minerals, Vitamins & premixes, Research





A study published this week in the Archives of Internal Medicine that found multivitamins, and iron and copper supplements, may increase mortality rates in older women, has been slammed by industry groups.



“This study is a classic example of scientific reductionism being used to fulfil a particular need,”said Robert Verkerk PhD, the Alliance for Natural Health International (ANHI) executive and scientific director.


“In this case, it’s supplement bashing…Our view is that the self-reporting questionnaires, and lack of any supporting data on nutrient status of the study’s subjects, means that the majority of the trends emerging from the adjusted data on which the study’s conclusions were based are likely to be anomalous.”


Dr Verkerk pointed to the positive findings for calcium supplementation as, “findings from much more robust studies”.




Unanswered questions


The UK Health Food Manufacturers' Association (HFMA) scientific adviser, Dr Michèle Sadler questioned the causality highlighted by the researchers.


“This type of study only demonstrates an association and does not tell us whether taking supplements caused these particular effects,” said Dr Sadler.


“The study has many other limitations including the unknown, longer term health status of women taking the supplements, which is more likely to be linked to mortality than the supplements themselves.”


“It’s a case of which comes first, the chicken or the egg, and raises the question of how many women were taking the supplements because of ill health. How such a wide range of essential nutrients is supposed to have these effects is another unanswered question.”


Forms




Dr Verkerk said the research was flawed in design.


“Another very important point is that many factors were not controlled for, and these likely contributed to uncontrolled sources of variation and confounding that were simply ignored. Among these is the crucial issue of the forms of nutrients taken, none of which were recorded in questionnaires.”


“For example, there are several studies that suggest that long-term use of high doses of synthetic vitamin E, beta-carotene and folic acid may increase the risk of death, these generally having at least some plausible mechanisms. But, where the natural forms are consumed, especially where these nutrients are obtained from dietary sources, quite the reverse is found.”




He said the researchers had, “knowingly, or unknowingly, played into the hands of the pharmaceutical industry, the single biggest contributor to, and controller of, medical research.”




The University of Minnesota researchers led by Jaakko Mursu, PhD, found, “several commonly used dietary vitamin and mineral supplements, including multivitamins, vitamins B6, and folic acid, as well as minerals iron, magnesium, zinc, and copper, were associated with a higher risk of total mortality.”

Preventing and Reversing a Cancerous Condition, Neurological Disorder, and Autism with Alkalizing Mineral Salts

An Inexpensive Test to Prevent Cancer, Neurological Disorders and Autism

'Give me a chance to create a fever and I will cure any disease'
Parmenides - 2,000 years ago

Knowledge is power!

I am always so grateful when I learn of another scientist - even an oncologist by the name of Dr Tuillio Simoncini, who is using alkaline principals, even the alkaline salt sodium bicarbonate to eradicate cancerous tumors, oral cancers, neurological disorders in children (autism) and improving over-all patient health and fitness.

In an article by Dr. Tuillo Simoncini he statesthat, 'It is useful to consider the extreme sensitivity of fungi to saline and electrolytic solutions. These solutions, because of their extreme capacity for diffusion, are able to reach all the myceliar biological expressions, including the most infinitesimal ones. Salts and bicarbonates, by making the 'terrain' completely inorganic, eliminates the slightest organic fonts that fungi could use for nourishment. In this context, sodium bicarbonate, which is currently used in children's oral candidoses, appears to be a simple and handy weapon capable of uprooting, inhibiting, or attenuating any neoplastic formation wherever it is possible to easily apply it.'

Dr. Tullio Simoncini has also stated, 'we might identify sodium bicarbonate as an emergency medicine for cancer . . . cancer seems to grow slowly in a highly acid environment (because the acids cause it to partially destroy itself) andmay actually grow more quickly as your body becomes more alkaline prior to reaching the healthy pH slightly above 7.4 where the cancer becomes dormant. Therefore it is important to get the pH above 7.4 as quickly as possible. Once one has achieved a pH above 7.4, it is usefrul to monitor saliva pH regularly to ensure that the body remains sufficiently alkaline.'

Sodium bicarbonate is the chemical compoundwith the formula of NaHCO3. Sodium bicarbonate(baking soda) is commonly used as an antacid for short-term relief of stomach upset, to correct acidosis in kidney disorders, to make the urine alkaline during bladder infections and to minimize uric acid crystallization during gout treatment. Prescription sodium bicarbonate products are given by injection to treat metabolic acidosis and some drug intoxifications.

Sodium bicarbonate is available as a nonprescription medicine as well as a general household item. It is also used with other non-prescription drugs for short-term treatment of various conditions to treat anything from fever to moderate pain. Sodium bicarbonate possesses the property of absorbing heavy metals, dioxins and furans. Comparison of cancer tissue with healthly tissue from the same person shows that the cancer tissue has a much higher concetration ot toxic chemicals, pesticides, etc.

Sodium bicarbonate neutralizes acids presentin gases (in particular hydrochloric acid, sulphurdioxide, hydrofluoroc acid) to form sodiumsalts (sodium chloride, sodium sulphate, sodiumflouride, sodium carbonate), which are all known as Residual Sodium Chemicals of the body.

Sodium bicarbonate is the major alkaline bufferof the human body and is primarily made by thecover cells of the stomach.

It is secreted by the salivary glands, the pylorus glands in the stomach, by the pancreas and the gall bladder to alkalize the food we eat.

Big Pharms cannot patent sodium bicarbonate, therfore they cannot control it or profit from it.
The FDA cannot regulate it as a drug because it is a food and a natural compound produced by the body to maintain its alkaline design.

Sodium bicarbonate is the great pH Miracle Secret that can bring health, energy and vitality to the body.

___________________________________________

There has been a lot of press coverage today, andover the weekend (see example appended below), regarding a new technology to aid in the early detection of Oral Cancer. The thing I noted, from the news coverage, was the 'increase' in the overall incidents of Oral Cancer. There are some who attribute the increase to smoking, and some even attribute the increase to an increase in the use of chewing tobacco in those who have quit smoking cigarettes. Both smoking and chewing tabacco are highly acidic to the body and cause thepH of the mouth to become moderately to highly acidic.

Early detection is easy and inexpensive. Check the pH of your saliva each day with pHydrion paper. If your saliva pH is below 7.2 then you are at risk for cavities, mouth sores, bacteria, yeast and even Oral Cancer.

To order pHydrion paper go to:

http://www.phmiracleliving.com/ph_strips.htm

To increase your oral pH to a normal 7.2 or greater drink 1teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate salt in 2 ounces of distilled water. It is that simple to neutralize the acids that cause cavities, mouth sores, Human Papilloma Virus (HPV16), bacteria, yeast and even Oral Cancer.

Statistics from the Oral Cancer Foundation (www.oralcancer.org) indicate that the incidence of oral cancer is on the rise.

In 2006 the number of people in the U.S. diagnosed with oral cancer rose for the first time in 50 years, and the Foundation predicts that this number will rise again this year by 11%, with approximately 34,000 people in the U.S. being diagnosed with oral cancers.

Oral cancer will cause over 8,000 deaths, killing about one person every hour of each day. (emphasis added)

According to the foundation, of those 34,000 newly diagnosed individuals only half will be alive in five years -- a number which has not significantly improved in decades.

To prevent or reverse cavities, Human Papilloma Virus (HPV16) or Oral Cancer all you need to do is alkalize with an inexpensive salt of bicarbonate. The cure for these conditionsis not in its treatment but in its prevention! Sodium bicarbonate is your best prevention!

That is why I created the pHour Salts(TM) mouth rinse to raise the pH of the mouth to 7.2 or greater. This product contains the four basic alkalizing salts of sodium, magnesium, potassium andcalcium bicarbonate.

To order pHour salts: http://www.phmiracleliving.com/p-221-phour-salts.aspx

Cancer is not a cell it is actually a four letter word -- ACID, especially lactic acid as a waste product due to the low oxygen level in andaround the cell and the waste products of yeast/fungus and/or mold.

Gentle Dental Evaluates New Technologies to Aid in Early Detection of Oral Cancer
April 7, 2007

Gentle Dental, a leading provider of comprehensive, convenient and high quality dentistry, announced that it is evaluating several technologies to aid in the early detection of oral cancer.

Gentle Dental and its affiliated dentists in eight states recognize the importance of early oral cancer detection and have included visual and tactile screening for oral cancer during all exams for years. Recently new technologies have come to market that augment doctors abilities to see oral abnormalities at extremely early stages, increasing the effectiveness of their screening process.

Gentle Dental is now evaluating two of these, the VELscope and ViziLite, in its offices.
Statistics from the Oral Cancer Foundation (www.oralcancer.org) indicate that the incidence of oral cancer is on the rise. In 2006 the number of people in the U.S. diagnosed with oral cancer rose for the first time in 50 years, and the Foundation predicts that this number will rise again this year by 11%, with approximately 34,000 people in the U.S. being diagnosed with oral cancers. Oral cancer will cause over 8,000 deaths, killing about one person every hour of each day. (emphasis added)

According to the foundation, of those 34,000 newly diagnosed individuals only half will be alive in five years -- a number which has not significantly improved in decades. This is largely because oral cancer is most frequently discovered in its later stages, when the survival rate is only 20 to 30 percent and often only when it has grown and spread to a more readily noticeable region outside the mouth, such as the lymph nodes of the neck. With early detection through opportunistic screenings and the use of tools like the ViziLite and VELscope, Gentle Dental affiliated providers are working to increase the number of cases caught in the earliest, highly survivable stages of the cancer.

'Dental professionals are the first line of defense in our battle against this killer. When they find early stage disease, they have significantly increased that person's chances of survival,' stated Brian Hill, the Director of The Oral Cancer Foundation, and an oral cancer survivor. 'In most situations early discovery has a greater impact on positive final outcomes than the treatments themselves. Dental professionals that incorporate a simple, painless, oral cancer screening into their practice are providing the highest standards of care to their patient populations. These are the doctors that will be responsible for reductions in the extremely high death rate associated with this disease.'

'I'm excited that doctors from our organization are involved in this important screening process, and with the introduction of these new technologies we are on the cutting edge of offering the most comprehensive service to our patients. As the son of a cancer survivor, I feel strongly about helping my patients and their loved ones avoid becoming victims of this terrible disease,' said Dr. Raul Amador, one of the Gentle Dental affiliated dentists evaluating the VELscope in the East Vancouver office where he practices.

'Oral Cancer is the 'Great Imposter' since it can mimic common mouth sores which are benign. Most patients do not experience noticeable symptoms in the early stage of the disease process, and that is where the true danger lies. Left undetected it has the opportunity to progress into a late stage killer,' said Gentle Dental affiliated dentist Dr. Edward Conzatti. 'Early discovery of the disease by a trained professional will expose these cancers' deadly work at a stage when treatment is most effective, and survival is most likely.'

Several lifestyle and chemical factors increase the risk for oral cancer, including tobacco and alcohol use. Prolonged exposure to sunlight is the primary cause of cancers of the lip. There is also evidence that the same version of the sexually transmitted Human Papilloma Virus (HPV16), already known as the primary cause of cervical cancers, is a factor in the increasing number of oral cancer cases involving younger, non-smoking patients.

Because early detection greatly improves chances of survival, all family members over 18 should be screened yearly, and more often should they engage in known risk factors such as tobacco use. In addition to twice yearly routine dental exams and cleanings, check with your dentist promptly if you or your family members experience any of the following possible signs of oral cancer:
