"Patient' with
different kinds of cancer(s) have been cured by the use of drugs!"
As We Know It, in
1930, "Cancer of the Lung was a Rare Disease... in the 70's a Drastic
Change Occurred - Lung Cancer Had Become The Leading Cause Of Death From Cancer
Among Males In The United States of America!"
"Scientists Are
Hopeful That Many Cancers Will Be Cured By 'Chemo' In The Future!"
An uncontrolled growth
and spread of body cells, is often known as "Cancer." Under a
microscope, the black dotted cells known as nuclei are identified as
cancer-cells. This identity is defined in comparison to healthy living cells
that are small (black dots) with a wall-like perimeter surrounding them. The
large black-dotted nuclei has no such wall.
These invading cells
can occur in all kinds of animals and plant-life alike. Our focus, in this
submission is basically a closer-look at cancer, and a-focus-on-humankind and
the very real threat to our health and life.
The process of cell
division gets out of hand during the cancerous invasion process when cellular
modules are continually produced, vastly more than needed. Making matters
worse, these unneeded cells continually produce more unneeded (or wanted for
that matter) cell tissue. While these new "wild cells" continually
divide, they are in the habit of forming larger and larger masses of new
tissue... These are identified as tumors.
Not all tumors are
harmful or life-threatening. Some of these "tumors" are benign.
Albeit, being of no use to the body, they could easily interfere with its
normal activities. These type(s) of tumors are usually surrounded by a
"skin-like" membrane, limiting its growth, preventing the invading
cells from spreading into other regions of the body. The killer-cells, called
"malignant," are not contained... They have no walls holding them in
- keeping them from spreading into other areas or regions of the body. They
invade all normal cellular tissue - they grow and spread rapidly, invading,
dominating, and destroying all normal cellular tissue - these monsters are also
tumors - THESE MONSTERS ARE CANCER!
Cancer can occur in
any kind of living cell. Being that there are many types of "cell
tissue" in existence, the human category alone has over one hundred
different kinds of cell tissue... so there can be more than one kind of cancer
cell(s). In short, "Cancer is not one disease but a large family of
diseases!"
The human body is made
up of many different types of cellular tissue. Each of these is in turn, made
up of or contains many other different kinds of cell tissue. Many of these
cells constantly divide, making it possible for the body to make more of
itself, explaining why young humans grow; why the body repairs itself; and the
replacing of worn-out tissue, etc.
The four major kinds
of cancer are called:
"Carcinomas,"
"Sarcomas," "Leukemias," and "Lymphomas."
Many types of skin
cancer(s) can be typed as "Carcinomas" or cancer(s) of the skin.
Identified with the skin-like linings of the lungs, the stomach, internal
organs, glands and/or the upper and lower intestines of humans and animals
alike.
The connective
tissue(s) like bone, cartillage, and fat is attacked by a cancer known as
"Sarcoma."
This is the type of
cancer that attacked my nine year old niece.
Cancers involving bone
marrow cells are "Leukemia."
"Lymphoma(s)"
is identified as cancer that attacks the blood. Albeit, both of these cancers
attack blood cells, lymphoma is the cancer that attacks the "Lymphatic
System" (or Lymph Glands). The lymph is the fluid that fills the spaces
between the body's cells.
According to cancer
research, more than ninety percent of cancers appear or occur in persons over
the age of forty. Due to the fact of people living longer, cancer has become a
common disease. This conclusion is partly drawn on the fact that people were
not living long lives, primarily past the age of thirty-five or forty.
Chemicals is another
factor that is partly to blame for the epidemic. Cigarette smoke being the
primary principle in infections then and now.
Cancer, in these
United States, is known to be a major culprit in death-dealing infections;
second only to 'Heart Disease. Current statistics show only a little over one
third of recorded cancer patients as being actual survivors. Many patients are
and have been treated with radiation, in carefully administered measures of
X-Rays, Radioactive Cobalt, Radioactive Isotopes, and/or Chemotherapy (Drug
Treatment).
These types of
treatment is intended to possibly cure the cancer patient of his or her
affliction(s).
The purpose of
research by a multitude of clinics and research institutions all over the
world, is to prevent new cases of cancer. The detection of the disease in its
early stages allow for an early defence; allowing for the implementation of new
and improved treatment while finding new ways to prevent and/or cure this
killer disease.
The detection of
cancer is paramount. The successful treatment of the disease is more than
likely; before the spreading process has begun; taken effect once its presence
has been announced.
"Karkinus,"
as defined by the Ancient Greeks, means "Crab" or
"Crab-like" because of the crablike spreading of the invading cancer.
"Crab-cancer" is what it was called by the ancient Romans. Malignant
growth is also spread when the invader is broken off from the original growth.
Different parts of the body are invaded by the cancer cells via the blood stream
or the lymph vessels. The new colonies of the evil invaders are called
"Metastases."
In an essay by
"Helena Curtis," and "T. Gerald Delang," of the
Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research, report an observation of
"Chimney Sweeps" in 1775, believed that "soot" from
chimneys was the cause of cancer. This report was recorded by a London based
surgeon named "Percival Pott." He said that chemicals may not be the
ultimate cause of cancer but seem to have had an effect on living cells in such
a way that cancer(s) develop.
Chemical based food
coloring and flavoring used as preservatives, along with more than four hundred
other cancer causing material(s) commonly used in industrial endeavors, have
been identified as root sources with the testing of laboratory animals since
1930. Coal Tar was utilized in producing cancerous cells in rabbits by
scientists back in nineteen-fifteen. Fifteen years later, more scientists found
the chief carcinogen in the coal tar experiment, according to cancer
researchers.
The conclusive details
have resulted in the industrial communities steps to try and protect the
workers who are exposed to coal, tar, soot, asbestos, dyes in other commonly
used material(s).
Clear answers are not
always present when chemicals are added to our food(s) as flavoring, coloring,
or preservative agents. Many governments attempt to make sure that these types
of chemicals are not cancer causing carcinogens. One example of chemical bans
is "Cyclamates." These are a kind of artificial sweetener commonly
used by consumers. There has been plenty of disagreements by government
agencies and researches regarding the banning of these types of chemicals. The
United States Government has banned the use of cyclamates due to laboratory
test-rats.
"Three out of
four," say The American Cancer Society. "Lung Cancer Deaths are the
result of cigarette smoking." They state "The Death Rate From Lung
Cancer Is Ten Times As High Among Cigarette Smokers As Among Those Who Have
Never Smoked. Those who smoke two or more packs of cigarettes per day, the rate
is twenty times as high as among non-smokers."
Laboratory results
support these findings. Carcinogens are contained within tars on tobacco. Many
scientists agree that more research is needed in order to learn about the
reasons why people smoke.
Cancer epidemiology is
the study of cancer occurrences in different groups of people. One example of
this study is the research on lung cancer in smokers and nonsmokers alike.
Cancer often does not
always cause pain or show itself during the early stages. Early cancers are
almost always detected by doctors during regular (and/or irregular) physical
examinations.
Hidden cancer is often
revealed through a simple test could save hundreds of thousands of lives every
single year. However, no such test exists - there are particular tests that
detect particular types of cancer(s). One such test is called "The
Papanicolaou Test." This test is used to detect cancer in the womb,
particularly the cervix. The "PAP Test" is the commonly known name
for detecting cervix cancer. A trained medical professional can almost always,
with the use of a microscope, pick out the cancerous cells as opposed to normal
cells. Scientist, collectively, have been utilizing this method of cancer
detection for many other forms of cancer.
Researchers say many
forms of cancer cannot be traced to outside agents as they are forced to seek
the cancer causes within the body. Heredity is a major area of concern as
living organisms inherit the basic makeup through the passed down cellular
tissue(s). Mice in laboratories have been tested and researched regarding this
question; supposing something is or was wrong within the cells of the parent -
could this be possible, the passing of cancerous cells via generation to
generation?
Closely studied lab
mice have been bred relating "generation after generation" in an
attempt to compare what happens within and to different groups.
Cancer(s) and other
cellular tissue have been transplanted from one animal to another, especially
those who happen to be or are much like identical twins. The results vary. In
some strains, about ninety to one hundred percent of these mice have developed
certain types of cancer. In other strains cancer is almost unknown. The test
results have shown inherit cancer or a possible tendency toward it in the
tested lab mice.
Human studies haven't
been able to prove this theory, as they have not anything so defining. Albeit,
several types of tumors do seem to run in families. This research does not mean
that other family members would develop the same disease.
In learning about the
relationship between cancer and heredity, a great deal more research is needed.
Exposure to rays,
radiation(s), ultraviolet, x-rays, and radio active elements, i.e., radium are
also agents of cancer. People who have to work outdoors and are constantly
exposed to large doses of ultraviolet rays can possibly contract and/or develop
skin cancer to commonly exposed areas of the skin, such as the back of hands,
the neck, and most probably the face.
In 1895, 'Wilhelm
Roentgen' discovered that x-rays were a most powerful form of a cancer causing
agent. Prolonged exposure to x-rays when not carefully utilized, developed
cancer(s) to the skin and bone.
Only the smallest
possible amounts of radiation should be used in taking dental or chest x-rays.
However, it is not to say that x-rays shouldn't be administered, because when
handled correctly, "The benefits of careful medical use, far outweigh the
possible risks."
Unnecessary use of
x-rays, by law, is forbidden. New types of equipment today, has been designed
to protect both the patient, administrating technicians, and the doctor.
Studies across the
globe have shown that the cancer rate among people residing in cities is only
slightly higher than those who dwell in rural areas.
Motor powered
vehicles, power plants, and factories need to burn fuel in order to operate.
The burning of these fossil fuels discharged into the air (mainly over cities)
- the burned fuel becomes waste which is a carcinogenic cancer causing entity -
Air Pollution!
Some carcinogenics,
according to the (cancer) article, may take up to twenty years or more before a
cancer develops.
Another monster which
seeks to suck all the life from us is the "Virus!"
The virus is the
smallest of germs. Studies have found that the deadly invader(s) grow only
within living cells.
Some time around 1900,
an American Doctor and scientist, discovered that certain types of cancer in
tested chickens is caused by a virus. From that point in time, other
researchers, as well, have found that many other cancer-causing viruses have
been discovered. Cancer from viruses have been found in hamsters, monkeys,
mice, as well as other mammals through profound and rigorous research.
According to many
researchers, a virus is made up of a substance called "Nucleic Acid,"
wrapped in a coating of protein. The record goes on to say that there are
Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA), and Ribonucleic Acid (RNA). These cells are the
living things our bodies are made of. The "DNA" cells are the
blueprint of our individuality - our physical identification, (if you will); determining
the structure of the cell and for that matter, what substances that particular
cell will manufacture.
When a living cell is
invaded by a virus, the nucleic acid of the virus slips out of its protein coat
and becomes an invisible part of that cell. When this happens, it is highly
possible for these viruses to produce new viruses creating hundreds of new
viruses to come to fruition. Hundreds of these killer demons are created and
released from the cell(s) which go out to infect other cells.
It's been noted that
oftentimes, the virus does not order the invaded cell to replicate. Instead,
the nucleic acid becomes a part of the DNA of the living cell -
"Assimilation!"
By doing this, a virus
can possibly change a normal cell into one that is cancerous. The replicated
DNA makes an exact copy of itself and is passed onto other living cells.
When the cell divides,
each of the two new cells receives one of the copies. As I can best understand
the explanation, before a cell divides, its DNA replicates, making an exact
copy of itself. The new cells are exactly like each other and like the original
cell! This changed or duplicated cell is cast, "A Mutation!"
Does this all sound
too "Science Fiction?" Does a few movie titles come to mind? How
about "The Thing From Another World," starring James Arness grab you?
You'd probably remember the version of the "Thing" starring 'Kurt
Russell. How about "Alien" starring Sigourney Weaver? There are many
other moving pictures plays depicting alien assimilations on the big screen as
well the "Boob-Tube!" Remember "The Invaders" with Roy
Thinnes? I often wondered were many of the 'Sci-Fi' authors got their material.
But this Man-killer of which we speak, is life action continuing and constant
danger(s).
A lot more research is
greatly needed before mankind can win the war against cancer. Vaccines have
been in development by scientists for the sole purpose of destroying these
cancer-causing viruses. New cures are being sought by many scientists around
the world.
Many scientists truly
believe that cancer cells could be mutants. This belief is supported by the
action(s) of some carcinogens, i.e., chemicals and x-rays. They all are in
agreement that these agents (from Hell) cause cancer while also creating
mutations that are not cancerous...
How many would
question the logic to that statement?
However, they
(collectively, according to medical reviews and reports) do agree that
thousands upon thousands of chemicals are being tested for their effect in
relation to substances that are known cancer-killers. Although many other
chemicals have been tested for the substances found within living cells - while
others have been chosen at random. The drugs currently used today against
cancer have been found in this manner. The cost of this research goes beyond
affordability.
The scientific goal in
this fight against cancer is to know everything possible about normal cells is
the key to understanding and controlling the abnormal cells that are cancerous.
Radiation, X-Rays, and
Radioactive Isotopes have been used to kill cancer cells. Medical
Professionals, Engineers, and many other researchers have designed equipment to
pinpoint the targeted cancer cell(s), while minimizing the damage to the normal
or healthy cell(s).
One of the methods, as
this author understands, used for treating cancer is surgery. The goal of the
surgeon(s) is to completely remove the cancerous tissue. The down side to this
choice is that surgery is not always possible, nor is it the answer. Therefore,
another treatment must be found.
You may recall,
previously, the mentioning of my beautiful young niece who was attacked by this
vile menace.
Her name -
"Allyse Virginia Coulter-Cruz!" This beautiful angel was diagnosed
with "OsteoSarcoma" (Bone Cancer), at the innocent age of ten (10). I
can remember when she complained of her legs being in pain while we vacationed
in the "Pocono Mountains." Our family had no reason to think it was
anything other than child-hood fatigue... We did a lot of walking in the
mountains in those days. I carried her around on my back most of the remaining time
during that particular trek. Once the pain passed, she walked around on her
own, playing and running around with her cousins.
The disease wasn't
discovered until after we'd been back in the city; post vacation, a week or so,
not much longer than that. Allyse was out walking with her mother, in their
neighborhood of 'Tacony,' when she tripped on a sidewalk. Her leg of course was
broken. Witnesses were stunned to see the odd way in which it was twisted.
Allyse underwent
several surgeries, remissions, and relapsed twice during her superior and
courageous battle.
Allyse was born to
"Charmaine Ruth Coulter," my beloved Sister-In-Law, on July 1st,
1988. Just prior to this child's fourteenth birthday, she lost the fight. She
left us to return "Home" on June 30th, 2002.
"Our Beloved
Angel Was Born Unto This Earth, Has Returned To Heaven!"
On a personal note,
I've decided to share this story/information in hopes that the stated
experience may provide some insight and aid in ones research as well; providing
some helpful background into the deadly evil destruction of this menacing
disease and the effects it has on the living...
There was another
personal experience pertaining to cancer's terrible and deadly attack. I knew a
man, a friend, who contracted throat cancer and passed away way too soon. The
killer struck from out of nowhere - a totally unexpected attack. It was simply
horrible to witness his suffering. Charles (Charley) Palmer of "East
Falls" in 'Philly,' PA suffered only a short while before succumbing to his
illness.
In this (Charles')
case, it was surely the cancer that surely killed him. In the case of my niece,
it was the viral infection that caused her untimely demise.
Another friend of mine
who contracted this terrible disease is a guy who lived across the street from
me. His name is Edgar (Buddy) Johnson. He contracted lung cancer and managed to
survive after surgery. He is still alive and kicking to this day. His current
age is eighty-two. And still another of my friends who have suffered this
killing machine was Ronald (Kenyatta) Reed. He passed away at the age of
sixty-seven. The surgery that would have probably saved him was a "Bone
Marrow Transplant."
Remember, in its early
stage(s), cancer may not cause pain or show itself... it's the testing and
physical examination(s) that ultimately detect the threat.
Chemotherapy, or the
utilization of drugs to fight this disease is a common method administered by
cancer specialists. The treatment incorporates a combination of chemotherapy
and radiation, according to medical journals, reviews, and professionals.
The drug
administration is intended to make the cancer cells more susceptible to
radiation. The medical reports go on to state this treatment will prolong a
person's life while relieving pain. It's also been reported in the medical
communities, that "patient's with different kinds of cancer(s) have been
cured by the use of drugs used in this fashion." Scientists have said they
are hopeful that many cancers will be cured by "Chemo" in the future.
We shall See... as we
remain hopeful.
