The medications enhance the immune system of the body to attack the cancer cells. There are absolutely no side-effects and chances of survival are very high.

Can oesophageal cancer be prevented?

Yes. Education the masses and informing them about the disease is a must. Cancer Healer team is dedicated to imparting knowledge to people on cancer, disease and management.

How Mira Fought Cancer?

An aspiring story of Cancer Survivor on this Christmas

Mira is my buddy. We have been best of friends since 11th grade. Our parents nicknamed us ‘Siamese Twins’ as we were inseparable.

We had the same interests, similar hobbies and took up common educational courses. Life is fun when you have a friend who shares your passion and laugh about the little quirks of the day.

Nothing changed since 11th grade until the Christmas of 2011 when Mira suddenly seemed distracted. She didn’t have the same zest in life. We didn’t enjoy shopping sprees as she would get tired and nauseous after a meal. I could visibly see her pallor changing. She seemed sick.

I confronted her. Mira confessed, she was undergoing Chemotherapy for a tumor in her ovaries. I was devastated. Cancer was in our lives, our friendship. I couldn’t bear to lose a friend to cancer. We had plans, to get married on the same day, plan babies together, retire with a bakery shop.

All seemed far away. But, I am an optimistic person at heart. Nothing is impossible. “We will fight cancer, Mira”; I said to her on Christmas 2011. Today we are cancer free, our lives are cancer free.

How Did Mira Do It? Well, there’s lots that goes in to fighting cancer , this is how we did it:

Firstly, Mira and I started walking together. A time was fixed in the day and we always make sure we go for long walks, at whatever pace she can manage.

Secondly, we have hired a yoga instructor for the weekends. Every Saturday and Sunday , we have yoga sessions at Mira’s house where both our families join in for distress sessions and laughter exercise. We laugh our worries out, aloud.

Thirdly, the diet session with a cancer specialist dietitian was very helpful. All processed foods are banned in our homes. All produce is now bought locally and organic. Fried, Trans fatty acids and leftovers are not tolerated. Deviations and parties are allowed but we are all snob eaters now. It has to be fresh, natural and healthy else we rather not binge.

Next, all carcinogens were identified and avoided around our homes. Deodorants, fumes, agarbattis are no longer allowed in both our homes. Dust mites are cleaned up well. Mosquito repellents and floor cleaners are made using dried neem leaves; boiled and sprayed.

Most importantly, holistic healing was opted for. Immunotherapy instead of chemotherapy made Mira cancer free and she feels healthy, not sick.

Today, Mira no longer has cancer, so does both our homes. We look forward to every Christmas as a blessing and recollect our vows taken on Christmas 2011, our friendship is  cancer free.

Yuvraj Singh’s Fight Against Cancer

What would you do when one miserable day, your doctor tells you those three dreaded words, “You have cancer”. Most of us, would probably go numb for a few minutes, curse God, wonder what wrong had we done to deserve it and maybe even refuse treatment initially (yes, we’re self destructive like that). But these ways do not work. They fail to work chiefly because the human spirit is invincible, and has a way of bouncing back. The quintessential example of such an exemplary spirit  would be ace cricketer and batsman, Yuvraj Singh.

Diagnosed with a malignant tumor in the left lung in year 2011, Yuvraj’s tumor developed between his heart and lung, and is commonly referred to as seminoma. Seminoma, which commonly develops as a tumor on the reproductive organ of males, was found on the upper portion of his lungs, medically known as superior mediastinal region.

Yuvraj Singh’s memoir, The Test Of My Life, is an account of his struggle and victory over cancer, a disease, he says that “turns you upside down. In body, in mind, in spirit”. Nations favorite son and the God of cricket, Sachin Tendulkar, who formally launched Singh’s book, said, “When I went to meet him in London, I was telling my wife (Anjali) that I don't want to break down when I see him. I met him and gave him a tight hug. We enjoyed a meal and from the way he (Yuvraj) ate, I was convinced that he is back on track.” Sachin further added, “When I saw my wife discussing medical terms with Yuvraj, I realized what he has been going through. He is like my younger brother and I would ask God why it (the illness) had to happen to Yuvraj."

Over the years, Sachin and Yuvraj have played some amazing cricket together and Sachins recent retirement has left the entire nation missing him more than ever. An emotional Yuvraj commented, "It's been amazing to play with him for so many years. He is one of the greatest players to have played the game”.

Therefore, it wouldn't be wrong to say that Yuvraj Singh sets a perfect example to the millions of people suffering from cancer, because in the end, what matters is your courage and the hope to live.

story of cancer survivor

I learnt about Cancer Healers at the oddest place. At the waiting area of a Dermatologist! 

My mum’s friend who I happened to meet after 10 years (post my marriage), was waiting for her appointment as well with the skin doctor. She looked different. I couldn’t help notice the bandana on her head. I found courage and asked her “all okay, auntie?” She smiled yes, all okay now. I am here for a laser therapy to remove facial hair – side effect of chemotherapy! 

“Chemotherapy?” I stuttered. Well, my mum’s friend was diagnosed of colon cancer in 2008. The surgeon removed the piece of colon and joined it back. Cancer returned in 2011. It now had spread to her breasts. Now, she has colon cancer and no left breast (mastectomy had to happen stat, early 2013). “Chemotherapy is so painful. I lost my hair, no menses and excessive facial growth. My skin turned dark”- she shared.

“How are you feeling now?” I asked concerned. “Very healthy, thanks to Cancer Healers as suggested by a relative, I am not on chemo now. My Immune System is regaining strength, skin looks better. I drove myself here to the clinic today, you know”; she smiled.

Cancer Healers saved my family, she shared emotionally. The cancer seemed to be spreading and the cost of Chemotherapy was calculated to 25 Lakhs, we were thinking of selling our home (she has an unmarried daughter). 

Immunotherapy is cost effective and painless. Moreover, the confidence Dr. Tarang Krishna show in the treatment is insightful. They personally meet the patient and explain the cause and effect of cancer as well as the impact of treatment to the patient and family in depth.

I took the clinic details and emailed my cousin in UAE, to immediately send out a correspondence to the doctors. From what I learnt from my aunt that in case you can’t visit the doctors, you can still start the cancer treatment. You can send your diagnostic reports to them and the doctors take care of rest. The reports are scrutinized and medications prepared and couriered to you.

Cancer devastates families is what I have always known. But, today I cherish the hope I saw in the cancer survivor. She sees life with a different perspective. She is independent, she wants to maintain her beauty and she shares her experience, positively. Only a happy soul can do that, not a cancer battered individual.

Cancer can be survived. Support, will and good cancer treatment plan is all it takes.

Turmeric Powder and Cancer Treatment

Turmeric Powder May Help Prevent Cancer:

The main cause of cancer today is unhealthy food. Processed meals, chemicals, preservatives and high fat content in food are the main culprits of cancer.

Experts believe some consuming certain foods actually are a boon to our bodies. Antioxidants are in the limelight for fighting against growth of cancerous cells. Scientists at American Chemical Society explored the benefits of antioxidants on cancer and recommend certain special ingredients in diet to ward off cancer.

Dr. Krishna’s also recommends all patients visiting Cancer Healer clinic; to eat healthy and natural. Here is an interesting update one should look in to specifically for its cancer healing properties: Haldi/Turmeric- The compound curcumin in turmeric gives it the beautiful yellow colour and distinct flavor. There is more to this curry powder. Scientists at Dalhousie University performed an investigation wherein they attached cur cumin to substances from blueberries, apples and white berries. The investigators discovered one of the new curcumin compounds matched a cancer drug in killing malignant liver cells. Others were able to reverse the effects of stroke in lab animals. Researcher at Vanderbilt University, have discovered that curcumin in haldi/turmeric powder may act as a natural kind of pro-drug. Diet experts in India also believe in the therapeutic potentials of traditional haldi. The natural turmeric/haldi root or organic powder is best to curb cancer growth in the body.

Well, maybe ‘haldi doodh’/turmeric milk has more to it than just grandma’s home remedy to all ailments.

A Spouse Can add Years To Cancer Survivor

Cancer survival updates are offered by Cancer Healers on regular basis. More than medication, positive environment and a happy attitude are essential to ease the pain associated with battle against cancer. Besides, chemotherapy and radiation therapy, a supportive family especially a caring spouse helps add years to the survival of a cancer patient.

Marriages are made in heaven. This may seem like a mockery to many, today but a group of researchers think otherwise. 

A study published online on Sept. 23 in the Journal of Clinical Oncology indicates that cancer patients who are married have better chances of surviving the disease if they have a supportive spouse.

The chief resident, Dr. Ayal Aizer Harvard University's radiation oncology program, Boston profoundly states that half of the cancer cases that were investigated , the role marriage played is more than the benefit conferred by chemotherapy in terms of improving survival of the patient.

The study was conducted over a period of four years from 2004 to 2008 with the largest cases of about 730,000 cancer patients investigated. This research was the first and largest of its kind to observe a link between marital support and cancer survivor.

Researchers believe that a spouse plays a key factor in taking the cancer patient for doctor visits regular. Stressful conditions like chemotherapy and radiations are also made comfortable in presence of a caring partner.

Dr. Krishna’s Cancer Healer is an organization that believes in Holistic Treatment of the
cancer patient. The medical team empathizes with the whole family and proactive knowledge is shared with the caretakers of the cancer patient. The Immunotherapy approach is not stressful as compared to chemotherapy and radiation and the clinic offers a comfortable ambience to the patient and spouse or any family member.

Cancer affects the whole family. Hence Dr. Tarang Krishna pay attention to counseling and supportive care to patient as well as concerned family members.

Cancer can be survived. Simple, measures can help ease the daily challenges. It is learnt that besides medical care, holistic approach and positive attitude eases the struggle to overcome the disease.

Cancer Can Be Survived

Cancer is not welcome, ever. The disease destroys the foundation of one’s existence. But, the good news is that advanced research and rapid funding of money in new drug development is improving the death toll. Cancer can now be survived. Chemotherapy and radiation are treatments considered obsolete. New age treatments are more pain free and have zero Side- effects. Immune therapy as promoted Cancer Healers is an option to survive cancer.

Cancer survivors are on the rise. According to the latest report by American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), 1 in 23 is a cancer survivor today. Whereas, 1 in 69 individuals were able to survive cancer, in 1971.

This indicates that research in cancer is showing positive results. AACR President Dr. Charles Sawyers quotes that “Science is paying off”. According to him, advancement in anticancer drugs is amazing.

Moreover, the immune system modifiers for cancer have evolved comprehensively. Drugs for certain lymphomas and multiple myelomas that help the immune system fight the cancer have been extensively researched and are a welcome change to the chemotherapy and radiation. The clinic has successfully treated almost 3200 patients in last few years. With a success rate of 60-80% CANCER-HEALER is a life-saver for most cancer patients.

Although, the statistics reveal that more lives are being saved from succumbing to cancer, there is also a rapid increase in the incidence of cancer cases. And, the rise in diagnosed cancer will continue to progress this decade. 

Experts blame smoking, alcohol abuse, pollution, lifestyle stress and obesity as main culprits of cancer. 

Certain factors of cancer can be abstained from but inherited causes put on in a ‘high risk’ zone.

Dr. Tarang Krishna are actively engaged in educating the masses on identifying the triggers of cancer in their bodies and taking necessary steps.

Engaging in a healthy diet, regular exercise, yoga, breathing exercise are some of the keys to prevent cancer. Regular visits to the physician, examination, diagnostics are important to rule out first alarm signals. As Cancer Healers say “Know Cancer, No Cancer”.

Women At High Risk Of Breast Cancer

What Should Women At High Risk Of Breast Cancer Do?

October is breast cancer awareness month. On lieu of this health campaign, Cancer Healers is sharing ‘must know’ information on this disease, in this blog. Breast Cancer can be inherited and with high end invasive technology the progress of breast cancer can be prevented. Chemotherapy, Mastectomy are considerations but with side-effects. Immunotherapy offered by Cancer Healers is gaining popularity for being a holistic approach to prevention and treatment of cancer.

The media created a buzz few months ago, with the Angelina Jolie’s decision of double mastectomy being shared publically. Many thought she is a cancer patient but to our relief, her doctor investigated that she is a ‘high risk’ candidate to breast cancer. Now, this seems to be un-commonly heard lingo for the non-medico personal. Let us learn in this blog about what defines a woman as ‘high risk for breast cancer and what should she do’:

Defining ‘high risk’ for breast cancer

The chances of developing any cancer are termed as risk and if the probability is higher it is defined as high risk. Various factors contribute to cancer and some are preventable while others are not. Different cancers are developed due to various factors.

Contributors to ‘high risk’ factors for breast cancer

Gender - Men have less female hormones that promote cancer growth in breasts hence this disease is more prevalent in females and is rarely observed in men.

Age - Ageing contributes to the development of cancer cells. As per observations, breast cancer is more prevalent in women beyond the age of 55.

Hereditary - Breast cancer risk is higher amongst women who have next of kin suffering/succumbing to breast cancer.

Having one’s mother, sister, or daughter with breast cancer increases the likelihood of a woman's risk of developing the same

Do we know what causes breast cancer?

Various risk factors can increase an individual’s chances of developing breast cancer although it is not yet known exactly how some of these risk factors cause cells to become cancerous. According to experts, hormones play a significant role in development of breast cancer but clarity in the subject is yet to be investigated.

What should you do if your doctor says you are at ‘high risk’ of developing breast cancer?

If a woman is at increased risk for developing breast cancer and there is a strong family history of breast cancer or doctors have found a known genetic mutation of a BRCA gene or has had DCIS, LCIS, biopsies which show pre-cancerous conditions; experts recommend considering a few options to reduce chances of reaching a full blown cancer stage. It is advised to talk with your doctor to understand your risk and how much any of these approaches might lower this risk.

Preventive Care For Breast Cancer

Preventive Masectomy - Removal Of Breast Tissue. Authors of a new study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine shared that despite evidence that prophylactic mastectomy may not improve survival rates an increasing number of young women with breast cancer are choosing to undergo the preventive surgery.

Tamoxifen - Tamoxifen is a medication that blocks the action of estrogen in breast tissue, which keeps estrogen sensitive breast cancers from growing. In comparison to other forms of cancer treatments, it has relatively few serious side effects. However, in some women who take it, tamoxifen may cause problems with cognitive thinking. 

Cancer Healer Therapy - Removing breast tissue or considering chemotherapy is options with varied sideffects. Dr. Tarang Krishna believes in the power of immunotherapy to heal cancer. The positive effects from Cancer Healers treatment are recommendable as pain, hair loss or scars don’t come along with this Homeopathy Treatment.

October is the acknowledged as the Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It is important to educate yourself more on this subject and consider your preventive check options in case you are a ‘high risk’ candidate for breast cancer.

Live Cancer Free

Cancer Healers are pioneers in treating cancer. The WHO recognizes Homeopathy as branch of medicine that is effective in supporting a therapeutic treatment. The experts at Cancer Healers believe in curing the immune system damaged by cancer with the help of special Homeopathic Formulations.

Cancer may be difficult to prevent but it can be survived. Cancer therapy is being researched at very advanced rate. Experts are sharing many observations that can help make the life of a cancer patient and survivor, better.

Here are some noted medical updates that can help the care giver as well as the patient of cancer, understand the disease better and challenge it.

Yoga and Cancer:

Practicing yoga may help people who have had cancer sleep better. Experts indicate that cancer survivors report some form of sleep disturbance.

That can be due to anxiety about a cancer diagnosis, related health problems or side effects of treatments including surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and hormone therapy. Studies suggest yoga can lower blood pressure and improve anxiety, depression and insomnia.

Eat A Low Fat Diet To Prevent Skin Cancer:

A high-fat diet particularly one high in fatty meat, fried foods, and fried junk food has been linked to a greater risk of skin cancers, especially if you've had skin cancer before. In addition, a low-fat diet (in which less than 20 percent of your total calories come from fat) has been shown to reduce the incidence of skin cancers in those with a previous history of skin cancer.

Healthy Eating Might Ward Off Pancreatic Cancer:

Maintaining a healthful diet has many potential health benefits. Pancreatic cancer is usually fatal and its incidence has been increasing. It's very important to identify ways to prevent pancreatic cancer. The effect of eating a variety of fruits, vegetables and whole grains, and limiting sugar, unhealthy fats and alcohol, is great when it comes to lowering the risk of chronic disease, as published in ; Aug.15, 2013, Journal of the National Cancer Institute.

These are few updates from published medical journals that  Cancer Healers believe are very useful to ward off cancer.
