A recent addition to the cancer relatives is one that can take a long time to become apparent; asbestos cancer infects and destroys the body’s natural lining around organs in particular the lung, heart and abdominal walls. The special name given to this protective membrane surrounding many of our vital organs is called the mesothelium. Fibers from asbestos are the cause of this bad health but it is slow to show itself and can take anywhere from 20 to 50 years or more to cause the sickness.

Conservatives figures suggest that before 2030, around a quarter of a million folks in Europe will have died from asbestos cancer cancer even though it is no longer used in Western Europe. The majority of asbestos cancer cases are, and will continue to be, those of folks who worked directly with the substance over the years of had occasion to be in an environment where asbestos was used. Secondary asbestos cancer happens where other people are (or were) exposed through kindred members who without their knowledge, brought fibers home on their work clothes or on their hair or skin.

The part of the body asbestos cancer attacks is the mesothelium, a two part membrane which envelopes the organs to safeguard them. These two layers are designed to aid movement of the internal organs so a tiny amount of mucus is produced by the body and released between these two layers. Cells of the body are meant to live and die but this normal cycle does not happen if there is asbestos cancer because the cells continue to grow and multiply by division.

Although there isn’t a rectify for asbestos cancer yet, medical research is hopeful. Scientific research is ongoing around the world and new treatments for asbestos cancer are being developed to help the patient’s chance of survival increase but also to make it fewer painful.

It is hoped that the number of reported cases of asbestos cancer in Western Europe will peak fairly soon, possibly as early as 2010 but no later than 2020. The UK has a bad record for asbestos cancer with over 1800 new cases reported every year, the topmost in Western Europe but in America, with about five times the population, the new cases are now below 3000 per year.

Of course it those people who have worked in asbestos filled environments or with the substance itself that are the most likely to contract mesothelioma. This point is made all the worse by reported examples of asbestos cancer cancer Primary trades at risk include those in heavy industry including ship building, train and other vehicle manufacturing and the construction industry and associated professions from carpenters to electricians. This is a ticking time bomb for many people.

By: Rick Roberts

Summary

There are dozens of websites now based around this miracle cure that now claims to be able to cure all sorts of cancers including lung cancer, kidney cancer, throat cancer, skin cancer, and thyroid cancer along with being able to reduce or decrease the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation treatments.

Over the last half century there have many fad or functional food cures that seem to captivate the headlines in news stand tabloids. They have claimed cures to or enhancements of just about any imaginable illness, disease, or dysfunction of the human body. Many have even claimed to give longevity to life along with their so called cures or enhancements. We’ve all seen the headlines, “Himalayan sheep herder discovers cure to cancer growing on his farm.” or “Side effect of latest cancer cure adds 100 years to your life.”

One of the latest to crop up has been the Goji Juice made from an extract of the goji berries found in the northwest regions of China. The goji berry used for centuries by the Chinese for treatment of or curing ailments such as poor vision, skin irritation, and fertility problems claims to have some might powerful positive side effects these days.

There are dozens of websites now based around this miracle cure that now claims to be able to cure all sorts of cancers including lung cancer, kidney cancer, throat cancer, skin cancer, and thyroid cancer along with being able to reduce or decrease the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Lest we not forget= that it can prolong life as well as make our sexual activity extend way beyond our passing of the 100 years of age mark in life.

So what is Goji Juice and is there any evidence to support these claims?

Goji Juice as stated earlier is a derivative of the goji berry that comes from the Lycium species of plants particularly the barbarum variety commonly referred to as the English wolfberry, matrimony vine, or Chinese Boxthorn plant. In ancient Chinese history it was noted that not only the berry was used for treatments and cures but also the leaves of the plant as well. The leaves were either boiled into a tea and drank or simply rubbed across infected areas of the human body.

In recent years though only the berry is used, although there area few websites that do sell ground version of the leaves for making the “Goji Tea”. While the plant can grow just about anywhere in the eastern parts of the world’s mountainous areas the best goji berries come from China, Tibet, and Inner Mongolia. The berries themselves are small round, orange to red in color, and contain many seeds. They are said to be sweet to the taste if eaten.

Goji Juice may have many boasts of being a cure all or enhancer of many things but the evidence of its successes is rare and hard to find at best. Most of the claims of evidence turn out to folklore stories passed down from others and really have no substantiating evidence behind them at all.

The US Government’s medical databases only show slightly over 100 reports on the use and effectiveness of the use of Lycium and its derivatives in any clinical laboratory studies and of those less than half were of the Lycium Barbarum species being tested. Of these 50 or so tests only one single report even makes any claim of having any positive effect on the treatment of cancer. This one report was filed by a medical university in Shanghai and is all in Chinese with no English translation or notes at all contained within.

The report did however claim that with the use of Lycium Barbarum there was a 40% increase in the longevity of remission of cancer in the test subjects. There were no test results in the report to support the recent claims of prolonging life or sexual enhancements.

Currently Goji Juice runs around $45 per liter on the streets and through mail order. Whether it is worth the price is up to who you ask. Some people claim that Goji Juice has saved their lives and their marriages, while others use it as a preventative measure and to prolong life.
