Lung Cancer (with testimony)

  

According to the Singapore Cancer Registry, lung cancer is the second most frequent cancer in men (after colon cancer) and the third most common type of cancer in women (after breast and colon cancers). We tend to associate lung cancer with smokers as cigarette smoking increases the chance of contracting lung cancer by 10 to 15 times higher than a non-smoker.

Types

Lung cancer can be divided into 2 main types:  small cell and non-small cell.  Virtually all smokers and ex-smokers have the small cells that are considered aggressive in nature and tend to metastasize and spread rapidly to other parts of the body. With much conscious efforts put in to discourage smoking, there is a noticeable drop in such cancer cases.

On the contrary, is alarming to hear that the number of lung cancer patients who are non-smokers is rising.  Many women are caught unexpectedly by this disease (suspect to be smoke inhaled from cooking) since there are no early symptoms, making the all-round survival rate relatively low.

Causes

Associated risk factors include:

-  marijuana use,
-  exposure to secondary smoke,
-  exposure to pollution, asbestos, nickel, chromates or radioactive materials,
-  alcohol consumption,
-  chronic bronchitis,
-  history of tuberculosis,
-  lung scarring from pneumonia and
-  deficiency in Vitamin A.

Symptoms

The symptoms of both types are quite similar.

-  persistent cough (can be with blood-stained sputum), chest pain, shortness of breath, wheezing, hoarseness,
-  unintended weight loss,
-  loss of appetite,
-  recurring pneumonia,
-  fever for unknown reason.

If any of the symptoms do not go away after a couple of days, a biopsy may need to be performed.  If tested positive, treatment typically involved surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy will be recommended according to the severity and stage of development.

Diagnosis

+  Sad to say that only 20% of non-small lung cancer is detected at early stages of I and II where surgery is still possible to remove the tumor along with part of the normal lung.  In this group, only half are cured and the half suffer relapse and eventually die.
+  About 1/3 of lung cancer patients are diagnosed with stage III and are treated with radiotherapy/chemotherapy to increase the chance of long-term survival.
+  About half of the patients discovered too late and at stage IV, chemotherapy has to be applied to control the spread of the disease, to prolong survival as well as manage and prevent symptoms and/or complications.

As this is an incurable disease, the chance of survival is at best only 20% for up to 2 years.

What to do?

A diet high in fruits and vegetables may help to improve the condition. Tomatoes, shiitake mushrooms and  soybeans contain potent antioxidants that may have inhibiting effect on the growth of lung cancer cells.

Given the high fatality rate due to late diagnosis in most cases and poor results with current available treatments, it pays to be more vigilant about the common symptoms and seek medical advice as early as possible.

VIVA corner

Vivashield is a powerful 4-1 antioxidants that can offer protection against this deadly disease.  Vitamin A, C, E and selenium, when taken together should be able to decrease risk of lung cancer by lowering damaging effect of free radicals.

VIVA Oxypower contains CoQ10 important for lung cancer to increase oxygen intake into the air sacs so that the surviving cells do not perish.

VIVA Germanium stimulates the T cells to produce gamma interferon and boosts the function of macrophages and natural killer cells to combat cancer. 

VIVA Selguard provides selenium that has been proven to reduce the incidence of lung cancer, and can achieve better result with chemotherapy effect.  It helps to rid the lungs of harmful free radicals and apoptosis of cancer cells.

Testimony  

It was an April Fool joke this year as we received a call that our uncle was admitted to Intensive Care Unit of a Singapore public hospital for lung cancer Stage 4. He developed pneumonia and the chest was severely bloated. Doctor warned that it was terminal and could lead to complications. No drug was available to treat his critical condition. Family was expecting the worst and rushed to prepare the necessary arrangement if he were to pass out anytime.

At this time I consulted my VIVA friend and decided to fight the last battle. He explained that we need to get VIVA GERMANIUM known to purge toxins, VIVA SELGUARD to protect the good cells, VIVA OMEGA 3 to drain out excessive fluids and VIVA GREEN BARLEY to improve blood circulation.

Miracle really happened! Bags of urine flowing through the tube showed murkiness that paled off each time these supplements were administered.

By the 4th day he was transferred to the normal ward. We continued to feed him the above and he got better each day. After 1.5 mths he was able to be discharged from the hospital and returned home like a normal person (not a weak patient just recovering from a disaster)

Thanks to VIVA for the wonderful products.

Our comments:

Lung cancer is one of the most difficult cancers to treat given the organ’s structure and the inter-play functions with other parts of the body. The success rate is not encouraging in the medical world.  As this case is ruled ‘hopeless’, we were allowed to test out with some supplements.

Green Barley regulates body’s PH to reduce acidity as harmful bacteria thrive well in an acidic environment. By strengthening detoxification process and protecting cells from free radical damage, risk from cancer can be better controlled.

Omega 3 is documented to have the ability of enhancing the immune system, has anti-inflammatory properties and improve the function of white blood cell. It is commonly known as a blood cleansing agent.

Selguard is an important part of the human antioxidant enzyme. It is clinically proven to help reduces the incidence of cancer by the process ’apoptosis’ and protects the normal cells.

Germanium is a trace element that can be found in animals and plants.  By means of its chemical characteristics, it is able to fight off free radicals, enhance the oxygen supply to our cells, relieve pain and neutralise heavy metal intoxication and strengthen our immune system. A number of clinical studies have proven that organic germanium stimulates the body’s T-helper cells to produce gammna interferon, and at the same time boosts the functions of macrophages and natural killer cells to combat cancer. It delivers the same result as administering chemo drugs in a safe way.

Besides the above four products, best if can add on:

VIVA Oxypower, a powerful antioxidant that can help to fight free radicals.  The ingredients therein, Coenzyme Q, Vit A,C,E and germanium help the body to utliise oxygen quickly and effectively, especially on the damaged cells.

VIVA FLORAGUARD is an enhanced formula that provides 10 billion CFU per serving of five strains of friendly bacteria that can act against carcinogens to prevent tumor and establishes a protective layer against pathogenic infection.  It produces or preserve beneficial substances and essential nutrients to stabilise the body’s pH.

VIVA DAILYGUARD, a premium supplementation source of multivitamins, minerals, phytonutrients and antioxidants to replenish depleting nutrients from the ravaging of cancer cells.  Reconstruction of the immune system is vital to prevent a revisit of the deadly disease.

VIVASHIELD, a unique formulation of Vitamin A, C, E and Selenium can help to prevent further radical cell damage and prevent progression of cancer.
