In 1999, there have been 261,900 new cases of cancer in Brazil. This represents an increase of 23% in just 20 years. 104,200 patients died from this evil. The cancer is in 3rd place in the mortality rate, with 11.38%. In Germany, the cancer attacks annually, about 300,000 people, of whom 40% have died as a result of a tumor, so the chance of survival is 60% of cases in both countries. For the treatment of cancerous diseases in traditional medicine, there are basically four therapeutic processes.
procedures are part of the localized tumor surgical dissection (surgery) and radiotherapy. In both cases, the tumor and adjacent lymph nodes are the main target area of therapy. In cytoreductive chemotherapy and hormonal therapy, the growth of tumor cells in all organs of the body is braked by the application of medicines, but the whole body is flooded with these substances, without distinction between tumor cells or normal tissues.
Application
Modern radiotherapy or radiotherapy radiooncologia is the mainstay of cancer therapy. According to Prof.Dr. Michael Molls (Clinic on the right bank of the Isar in Munich / Germany), in the long term, approximately 45% of all types of cancer can be cured. 70% of people who were cured (those five to ten years after the therapy had no recurrence of tumors) were submitted to radiotherapy as the sole treatment or combined with chemotherapy. This form of treatment has, separately, a much smaller role than that of radiotherapy in fighting tumors.
radiotherapy is comparable a uma intervenção cirúrgica. O raio do radioterapeuta encontra seu correspondente no “aço“ do cirurgião. Assim como a cirurgia, a radioterapia representa uma medida terapêutica local, onde seu efeito ou possível efeito colateral se limita à região do corpo tratada, diferenciando-se, assim, de uma terapia sistêmica, como a medicamentosa. Independentemente do princípio terapêutico normal (radioterapia, cirurgia, quimioterapia), o tratamento do tumor pode ser curativo (voltado à cura) ou paliativo (voltado ao alívio das dores), quando a cura já não é mais possível.
A respeito da radiooncologia, o Prof. Dr. Rolf-P. Müller writes for the Working Group on Radiological Oncology (ARO), as follows: "Approximately 55% of patients seek therapy with a tumor still confined to one area, about two thirds of them can be cured with local therapy (surgery and / or radiotherapy). The remaining 45% arrive with the disease in advanced state, with formation of metastases. Of these patients, 70% receive radiotherapy treatment. It serves primarily to combat the pain and other symptoms, only a few cases, a cure for the disease in this state is possible by advanced academic medicine.
The area to be affected by radiation is the DNA (acid deoxyribonucleic), which is the nucleus of every cell. This is the carrier of genetic information in each cell division is transmitted to the secondary cells. A radiation causes great damage to DNA that, largely, are repaired by enzymes of the cells themselves. Some, however, are irreversible or not repaired properly. The cell then proceeds to more than two or three divisions before losing that ability. In subsequent stages, the damaged cells are broken and the resulting fragments eliminated by the body's immune system.
In principle, the effect of radiation on the cancerous tissue and healthy tissue on the body is the same. Nor is it possible to see differences in the reparative capacity of normal cells or tumor. Compared with healthy tissues, feeding the tumor cells with nutrients and, especially, oxygen is deficient (due to narrowed capillaries and dry). As a consequence of hypoxia is on the one hand, less effective in the repair of DNA damage of tumor cells and, secondly, on a smaller scale destruction of tumor cells, due to lack of sensitivity to oxygen. A therapeutic effect of radiation can be achieved only if the dosage of radiation to the tumor is sensibly higher than in normal tissue. In the so-called fractionated radiotherapy does not apply at once the dosage required to eradicate the tumor, but yes, in many portions smaller fractions. In this case, the prescription of the determination is made in Gy (Gray) (1 Gy corresponds to 100 rad). Usually the daily radiation is 1.8 to 2.0 Gy, five days a week. Thus, the total dose needed to fight a tumor, from 60 to 70 Gy, representing, in general, a treatment 4-7 weeks.
side effects of radiotherapy
The optimized scheme, so called, fractionated radiotherapy results from percutaneous balance the high probability of tumor destruction with possible side effects of radiation. These may occur during application of the rays and then are usually reversible. Months and even years after treatment, there may be consequences of chronic radiation, of which as a rule, only the symptoms can be treated. In general, it is worth stating that in any body tissue can be felt acute or chronic side effects of radiotherapy, whichever one or another reaction as the fabric.
The occurrence of these side effects however, it is largely determined by the amount of radiation applied and the extension of the radiation field, because, basically, the side effects only appear in the organs and body regions in which radiation was applied directly. An exception is made due to fatigue and nausea senses, sometimes at the beginning of radiotherapy and caused perhaps by flooding the body's waste products by the tumor cells.
acute radiation side effects usually manifest themselves first in the form of hyperemia (increased blood supply) and edema (swelling) in body or injured body region. Due to the fact that during the radiation, also cell division in normal tissues is impaired, the reduced blood supply leads to a lack of new cells for a smooth operation that organ.
The function of this organ is affected to a greater or lesser degree, depending on individual sensitivity to radiation and the number of applications given. Typical side effects are epiteliólise (separation) of the skin epithelium, acute inflammation of the mucosa, loss of function, usually temporary, salivary glands and sweat, dysentery (Diarrhea) caused by loss of cells in the small intestine and large intestine, disturbances in blood formation in the bone marrow with a deficit of white blood cells (leukopenia), acute inflammation in the urinary bladder (cystitis) and brain swelling (cerebral edema).
The late side effects and chronic effects are felt in the organs irradiated with a frequency of 5 to 11%. There is, relatively uniform, a proliferation of connective tissue (fibrosis), loss of function lasting organ cells (atrophy), dry capillaries and oxygen suppliers of substances nutrients, with widening of the arterioles and venules before (telangiectasia), as well as losses related to organ function. There are also a few cases of typical chronic side effects such as pulmonary fibrosis caused by radiation, intestinal occlusion (ileus) was induced by radioemanação, besides the formation of calluses in the fatty tissue of the dermis, the connective tissue and muscles.
Prof. Dr. Michael Molls, who specializes in therapy for neutrons in the reactor research center Gorching / Germany, reports that all radiation therapy carries the risk of side effects. This also happens in case of treatment with neutrons. Side effects are also related to the biological makeup of the patient. In the case of neutrons used in therapy for relapsed breast carcinomas, the majority of side effects consisting of rashes in parts exposed to UV radiation (dermatitis (II) and epiteliólise wet), which can result in inflammation similar to sunburn.
These effects are developed in a manner relatively acute radiation during treatment and at the end of treatment, usually disappear gradually. Furthermore, it was observed, a hyperpigmentation and, in some rare cases, tumor necrosis and fibrosis (II).
The main difficulty resides in the radiotherapist prevent future irreversible side effects, while they should strive to achieve the maximum effect of tumor destruction. The magnitude of the possible side effects is mainly determined by the total dosage and the daily dose applied. As a general rule, it is considered that the higher the total dosage and daily dosage, the stronger the possible side effects.
Aloe should never miss in radiotherapy
The natural juice of Aloe provides invaluable services in the reduction and elimination of the unpleasant side effects of radiation treatment. Em seu rico tesouro de experiências, o padre Romano Zago OFM pôde catalogar muitos relatórios de pacientes que tinham se beneficiados do poder da Aloe, paralelamente, tomada durante a radioterapia. Mais de 70 % dos pacientes foram unânimes em confirmar ter ocorrido uma forte redução de efeitos colaterais. Freqüentemente relatam não ter sentido nenhum deles.
Ainda, recentemente, recebi o telefonema de um senhor de São Paulo, cujo irmão dois anos antes se submetera à radioterapia, nos EUA, e que vinha sofrendo, terrivelmente com os efeitos colaterais. Em função do meu relatório na “Brasil Post“, em 1997, ele foi aos EUA, levando consigo folhas de Aloe, com as which, then, prepared the Brazilian mix of Aloe / honey / alcohol. After a week, his brother went back to feeling good, thanks to the relief afforded by Aloe, since this was contributing to the back of your hair natural and healthy diameters before contracted by radiotherapy. Given this result, his brother asked to be sent more leaves of Aloe.
On March 7, 2002 Mrs. Brigitte Verhoeven informed me of Germany, the following: "I met the Aloe vera L. during my cancer therapy, I use it and overcame both chemotherapy and radiotherapy without any side effect. I did not even lose my hair. Other patients who received the same medication, lost all his hair. Throughout the treatment, I felt fine. I am full of energy and never feel sick. Tomei, daily 100 ml of pure gel (aloe juice) in various doses, and after chemotherapy, also 200 ml at once. Today I'm super excited and well, never been sick - I have not been achieved even by a cold. Two relatives of mine had the same experience. "
Mr. Siegfried Lechfeld and family wrote on August 5, 2002, on the same subject:" Through the illness of our daughter (32 years, Hodgkin's disease) acquaintance with Aloe vera L.. With the ingestion of aloe juice and addition of vitamins during chemotherapy and radiation, could reduce the side effects of these treatments. External application of the lotion 'Aloe Vera Gelly' (Gel of Aloe vera L. 100% natural) contributed to the successful outcome and the skin was only locally brown. With this, the whole family was excited about the aloe. "
Whoever reads this book carefully, you will always find directions to the extraordinary form of action of Aloe. Precisely the properties described in previous chapters are appropriate measures to mitigate and even eliminate typical side effects of radiotherapy. First the protection
skin. Hours before and immediately after each radiation, she should receive a generous treatment of Aloe gel. Through them, we can prevent or reduce significantly the irritation of the skin subjected to radiation, such as wet epiteliólise (separation) of the epithelium, as well as reducing the destruction of sweat glands. These observations were already made by doctors Collins (father and son) in 30 years in X-ray burns, and in 50 years, the authorities responsible for nuclear studies in the USA also collected data on valuable experiences with skin burns caused by radioactivity.
We also know Aloe that causes enlargement of capillaries that had been narrowed by the radioactivity, its diameter back to its natural and healthy. This enhances the transport of cellular waste from the tumor, which also may overcome fatigue and prevent sickness. Although the radiation treatment causes enlargement of arterioles and venules before, the important capillaries, in contrast, suffer a constriction and even a total occlusion, thus affecting the processes of nutrition of the cells and removing wastes of metabolism, or even halting them altogether.
The application of radiation to tumors of the head and leads to a dry throat, among others, the capillaries that feed the tooth system with water, vitamins and minerals. Failures in supply can lead to death or teeth to crush them like sand. In this case it could help quite a supplemental treatment of oral region with aloe juice, irrigating it with the gum daily for more than two hours, which again opens the capillaries for the replenishment of the teeth. Thus, it may also be possible to activate salivation.
The reaction of the capillaries to radiotherapy, which is manifested in the reduction of its cross section, is the cause of undesirable side effects, surely valuable radiotherapy. Based on these observations, radiotherapy should be for the good of the patient always come accompanied by enough Aloe (conducted internally and externally). If, thanks to her, 150,000 km of capillaries present in the human body healthy and normal diameter, the feared side effects of radiotherapy will be insignificant in approximately 70% of cases.
Side effects of chemotherapy
who has cancer and should be submitted "only" to chemotherapy was lucky. But if we look closer to this "lucky" soon realize that the consequences of so-called cytostatic therapy are quite unpleasant. For many patients and also for their physicians, the application of chemotherapy is automatically connected to a hospital stay.
Surely, in most cases, such therapy alone does not justify a hospital treatment. Few therapeutic application forms are so complex that they can be successful only under hospital conditions. Also there are few who have so many side effects that warrant therapy and stay in hospital for further observations. Hospitalization is only needed in special clinical situations.
For a successful therapy, side effects that most disturb the patient or place him at risk, should be treated with caution. One key point at which you value as a chemotherapeutic procedure is accepted and supported, is the gag reflex linked to therapy. Even in a situation where patients in need of strength and will to live, they feel weak and debilitated, they complain of fatigue and the fact that his psychological state have reached the lowest point, when what we need is exactly the opposite. Therefore it is important to look away from the start, the possibility of such unpleasant side effects. For this, the Empress of Medicinal Plants, Aloe, presents as safe and natural solution. Any patient
potentially subject to chemotherapy fear, and loss of hair, nausea and possible nausea. With reference to this, you should be aware of the concepts and definitions, since not all forms of nausea can be considered equal to another, and each requires different procedures from a physician. Is important to determine the time of manifestation of the malaise, because nausea can be acute, delayed or anticipated (anticipatory).
a) acute nausea / vomiting (acute nausea / emesis ANE) appears around an hour after the start
cytostatic infusion, or the malaise appears in
course of the first 24 hours.
b) delayed nausea / vomiting (delay nausea / emesis NBS): Appears only from
2nd day after starting chemotherapy. It is typical of her and did not persist beyond
5th day.
c) Nausea vomiting deposit: to think of therapy or when entering the room
begin therapy nausea and vomiting, often reinforced by odors.
is not always possible to maintain this formal division, because the manifestations
can flow from one state to another. Nausea and vomiting early may open the way for the acute
, walking to her without intermediate steps.
Some drugs used to treat tumors are also characterized by both cause nausea within a short time after being administered, as for the longer term, it is not therefore possible to separate the acute nausea late.
Vomiting is a reflex born, which protects the body from the ingestion of spoiled foods or toxic. Thus, the vomiting can be triggered locally acting substances in the gastrointestinal tract, but beside that way peripheral, there is also one that is central and that many know by agglomerations. Strong stimulus towards guidance, in conjunction with information captured by contrasting eyes, nausea and vomiting are also causing no less strong. Through intensive research has been possible to clarify the essential mechanism of their origin. Serotonin, a substance released by certain cells in the gastrointestinal tract (enterochromaffin), occupies the corresponding receptors in the vague (an important complex of nerves in the neuro-vegetative system), leading to a center in the brain and thus gives the starting signal to vomit.
Certain regions of the brain can also be stimulated directly by chemotherapeutic preparations and induce vomiting (also a serotonin as a carrier). This mechanism of serotonin, however, is a valid explanation only for acute anxiety.
Chemotherapy Drug
as side effects, we find not only the gag, but a whole series of additional discomforts related to drugs used in chemotherapy, as listed below:
Cisplatin (Platinex): Decrease in white blood cells, severe vomiting and nausea, impaired hearing and kidney function.
Cyclofosfamida (Endoxan): Leukocyte reduction, nausea and severe vomiting, tingling in the mouth during injection and, less frequently, inflammation in the mucous membranes of the mouth. Hair loss and possible inflammation of the bladder mucosa.
Doxorubizina (Adriblastin): Causes of leukocyte reduction, hair loss, nausea (to a lesser intensity compared with other drugs), inflammations and abscesses in the oral mucosa, reddish urine, not dangerous. Their implementation often can cause damage to heart muscle and, therefore, control by electrocardiogram is indispensable ..
MTX Methotrexate: A side effect of MTX is feeling on mucous membranes, especially with sores in the mouth and esophagus and intestines. It is necessary to careful treatment of the mouth. It does not cause vomiting or only rarely. Decreased number of leukocytes.
VCR - Vincristine: Only rarely, nausea. Hair loss. Damage to peripheral nerves, ie, all except the brain and spinal cord, usually in the nerves of the legs. This can manifest as weakness or numbness. These symptoms usually regress after several months of treatment. Abdominal pain may occur, bones and often obstipações.
In addition, many patients suffer unpleasant fungi, which often appear as a side effect of chemotherapy.
Aloe relieves the side effects of chemotherapy
Aloe lends itself naturally to the relief of many unpleasant side effects of chemotherapy. Through the use of Aloe mix / honey / alcohol, impressive successes have been achieved. Patients who concomitantly with chemotherapy, made use of this mixture, they report, in most cases, they barely felt wronged in their welfare.
In many cases, even the usual hair loss could be avoided, because about 70% of patients respond well to aloe. Just as the skin covering the head is abundantly rinsed with aloe gel before and during chemotherapy. How do the Aloe penetrates quickly through the epidermis, gets to the root of the hair and the diameter of the capillaries dilate, causing the hair loss is avoided or greatly reduced.
The aloe gel should be rubbed on the scalp and let dry. The next morning, the hair should be washed with cold water and scalp treated again with fresh aloe gel. Patients who, in parallel to chemotherapy, only took the Aloe orally (3 x daily one tablespoon before meals), so no external application, mention, in many cases, the usual hair loss, but the anyway report excited, the sensible reduction of other side effects, especially the vomiting spells. No longer feel quite so frail and tired, feeling greater will to live.
is important to know: Our body reacts to radiation and chemotherapy consecrated with a reduction in the diameter of capillaries that reach
stay dry. The narrowing of the capillaries or dryness is the cause of many side effects of these therapies. Because aloe has blessed this property to restore them to the diameter, the side effects are avoided or greatly reduced. This confirms, once again, my doctrine of capillaries. In January
2002, I received a call from a reader of my German book "Aloe, Empress of Medicinal Plants". This cancer patient, Erich Gärtner, had submitted to the radio and chemotherapy and had achieved, in Berlin, Aloe arborescens Miller. He prepared the juice following the formula of Father Romano Zago OFM, as described in my book and told me, all excited, they already do not feel any side effects, you feel younger and more dynamic and now practices daily his "jogging," as if 100% healthy.
In the United States is the widespread use of drink Aloe vital. Many doctors already prescribe or recommend for use simultaneously to radio and chemotherapies due to its excellent results. This fact leads us to believe that soon this will universally standardized.
In Germany, Austria and Switzerland, the modern life of Aloe drink, unfortunately, is almost unknown in medical circles. In this regard, Eng. Klaus Germersdorf wrote me on June 13, 2002, the following: "Dear Mr. Peuser. First and foremost want to thank you for bringing your knowledge about the healing power of Aloe to interested persons, through his book 'Aloe, Medicinal Plants of the Empress'. The reading of it left me impressed by the wealth details and comments. But I - 66 years old - and very interested in medicine (finishing a course of alternative therapies) so far only had knowledge of Aloe-shaped crystals, as a laxative and abortifacient. Even at work 'Weiss - compendium of herbal medicine' only these two effects are mentioned. Regrettable. "
As we see, what is known about this miraculous plant in Central Europe, still rests on the historical writings entirely overcome, dating back to a time when the crystals of Aloe were the main raw material for many medicines. The fact of Aloe crystallized, produced by heating and boiling the juice extracted their leaves, so unnatural and therefore "dead" have been replaced by Aloe in a natural way unfortunately failed, until now, nor its place in books or in the universities of medicine.
However, the doctor who becomes aware of the Doctrine of capillaries and the properties of Aloe, not exempt as an adjuvant of traditional medical therapies.
