Barron’s Medical Journal Recommends Antioxidants, Gotu kola, Fennel And Ginseng

Houston, Texas ( AP) Barron’s Medial Journal is finding in our travel around the country Women who say that they

are first degree relatives of women with breast cancer. Barron’s ask the women have they had a genomic test. The reason for this question is that if your are a first degree relatives of a breast cancer Patient a genomic test can provide you with so much information. For An example are your going to get breast cancer , if so several
different treatment options. Also a genomics test is the test that Ms Angelina Jolie took to make here decision about how to treat her breast cancer. To our surprise 90% of the the Women ask said that they have never heard of a genomic test.

Barron’s Medical decided to also write this article to talk about some of the things a Women can do if she has breast

Brought to You By Zeal For Life: cancer in her family. Based on our Research we recommend that a first degree relatives include in their diets Antioxidants, Gotu kola, Fennel and Ginseng. Here is some background on the above Items.

Antioxidants are substances that inactivate free radicals, highly unstable molecules that can damage cell membranes and scramble the genetic information (DNA) in cells. Free radicals are produced in the body during normal cell metabolism,

and at a higher rate following tissue injury or exposure to tobacco smoke, sunlight, x-rays, and other environmental influences. To fight these dangerous chemicals, the body deploys a powerful antioxidant defense system, but it is hypothesized that in some cases the quantity of free radicals may overwhelm the body's natural defenses. This in turn could theoretically accelerate or cause various illnesses.

Antioxidants are substances that may protect cells from damage caused by the unstable molecules known as free radicals. Damaging free radicals can come from many sources: sunlight, carcinogens in cigarette smoke and charred meat, chemicals such as benzene, and the heme iron found in red meat. Free radical damage to cells may lead to DNA damage, which can contribute to cancer risk.

Antioxidants interact with and stabilize free radicals, thereby preventing some of the damage free radicals might cause. Examples of antioxidants include beta-carotene, lycopene, resveratrol, quercetin, anthocyanidin, vitamins C and E, and many other substances.

Fruit and vegetables are especially rich in antioxidants. In a study of 1,551 women with a history of breast cancer,

those with the highest plasma levels of carotenoids—a marker of vegetable intake—in their bloodstreams had a 43 percent lower risk of having a new breast cancer than those with the lowest carotenoid levels. Many of the foods in the table above have been specifically associated with a diminished risk of breast cancer.

Gotu kola is a creeping plant native to subtropical and tropical climates. Gotu kola has a long history of use in Ayurvedic medicine (the traditional medicine of India) to promote wound healing and slow the progress of leprosy. It was also reputed to prolong life, increase energy, and enhance sexual potency. 1 Other uses of gotu kola included treating skin diseases, anxiety, diarrhea, menstrual disorders, vaginal discharge, and venereal disease. Based on these many traditional indications, gotu kola was accepted as a drug in France in the 1880s. British physicians in Africa used a special extract to treat leprosy.

Gotu kola has a reputation for improving memory, and the positive results from a study in rats performed in 1992 produced a temporary rush of public interest in gotu kola as a " brain booster

The herb fennel has a long history of use as both food and medicine. Traditionally, it is said to act as a carminative, a term that means that it helps the body expel gas. Other traditional uses include increasing breast milk production, easing childbirth, soothing cough, promoting menstrual flow, soothing indigestion, and enhancing libido. Fennel is also a common ingredient in “gripe water,” a traditional (and highly alcoholic) preparation used for treating –

Asian ginseng is a perennial herb with a taproot resembling the shape of the human body. It grows in northern China, Korea, and Russia; its close relative, Panax quinquefolius , is cultivated in the United States. Because ginseng must be grown for 5 years before it is harvested, it commands a high price, with top-quality roots easily selling for more than $10,000. Dried, unprocessed ginseng root is called white ginseng, and steamed, heat-dried root is red ginseng. Chinese herbalists believe that each form has its own particular benefits. Ginseng is widely regarded by the public as a stimulant. According to everyone who uses it seriously, though, that isn't the right description. In traditional Chinese herbology, Panax ginseng was used to strengthen the digestion and the lungs, calm the spirit, and increase overall energy. When the Russian scientist Israel I. Brekhman became interested in the herb prior to World War II, he came up with a new idea about ginseng: He decided that it was an adaptogen .

In our travel we also see a need to inform breast cancer patients about Triple-negative Breast Cancer. "[Triple-negative] tends to grow very differently than 'regular' breast cancer, and we don't have the same tools to treat it," says Dr. Vahdat, as quoted by Cleveland.com. "There are far fewer options, and there's no triple-negative directed therapy, so far," she adds.

But among those women with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer who took the TM treatment for the study, 81 percent were found to not relapse in the 10 months following treatment. According to Dr. Vahdat and others, such results are promising, as between 50 and 70 percent of Stage 3 breast cancer patients, whose cancers have already spread to their lymph nodes, end up relapsing within five years of undergoing conventional treatment triple-negative breast cancers responded to therapies while others didn't. "We have been lumping things together that shouldn't be lumped together

The new classifications - four types called HER2 "enriched," luminal A, luminal B and basal-like - categorize breast cancers by their genomic structure using a dizzying array of data points not previously available that have identified new pathways for the cancer to do its damage, making it possible for researchers to identify new places to target disease.

In what could be seen as the most promising development of this breast cancer study, researchers determined that some basal-like cancers had more in common with an aggressive form of ovarian cancer known as "serous" than with other types of breast cancer. Two other types of breast cancer, accounting for most cases of the disease, arise from the luminal cells that line milk ducts. These cancers have proteins on their surfaces that grab estrogen, fueling their growth. Just about everyone with estrogen-fueled cancer gets the same treatment. Some do well. Others do not. The genetic analysis divided luminal cancers into two distinct subtypes. The luminal

A subtype had good prognoses while luminal B did not, suggesting that perhaps patients with luminal A tumors might do well with just hormonal therapy to block estrogen from spurring their cancers while luminal B patients might do better

with chemotherapy in addition to hormonal therapy. In some cases, genetic aberrations were so strongly associated with one or the other luminal subtype that they appeared to be the actual cause of the cancer. The better News is that Genomics is on the Clock. Genomics provide a faster cheaper more effective way to detect the Her2 gene by using Semiconductor Sequencing.

Actors Cardiovascular Disease Could Of Been Notice

Houston Texas ( AP )Genetic and genomic testing information will allow early and more accurate prediction and diagnosis of disease and of disease progression. Medicine is now oriented towards disease prevention rather than efforts to cure people at late stages of illness.

Barrons Medical Journal ask CEO Rose Conrad of Sam Houston Biotech In Houston, Texas to discuss the correlation between breast cancer and heart disease.

Conrad was quick to point out that genomics will allows us all to live longer and her research indicated that people should know that genes “GEE and FBAT “ is common in Cardiovascular disease and Breast Cancer Patients .

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a common cause of morbidity and mortality. While we understand many components of this risk, the ability to provide individualized treatment that maximizes efficacy and minimizes side effects is an elusive goal. Because CVD has high heritability, genomic diagnostic approaches can provide the basis for this by dissecting out the genetically distinct components of this risk.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women -- more than a million cases are diagnosed each year worldwide. When it's confined to the breast, most women get surgery to remove the lump, followed by several weeks of radiation to kill any lingering cancer cells and sometimes hormone or chemotherapy.
Age-specific risk estimates are available to help counsel and design screening strategies for women with a family history of breast cancer. Of all women with breast cancer, 5% to 10% may have a germ-line mutation of the genes BRCA1 and BRCA2. Specific mutations of BRCA1 and BRCA2 are more common in women of Jewish ancestry The estimated lifetime risk of developing breast cancer for women with BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations is 40% to 85%. Carriers with a history of breast cancer have an increased risk of contralateral disease that may be as great as 5% per year. Ma le carriers of BRCA2 mutations are also at increased risk for breast cancer

Conrad pointed out that researchers studied the medical records of 2168 women in Sweden and Denmark who had radiation for breast cancer between 1958 and 2001. They

estimated that the heart was exposed to, on average, a total of 4.9 units of radiation—called grays—during radiation of the breast. The rate of major heart events was found to increase slightly with each gray. Major heart events included heart attack, the need to unblock or replace blood vessels to the heart, or death from a reduced blood supply to the heart (ischemic heart disease). For women who already had risk factors for heart disease, the risk of a major heart event increased a little more. But overall the increased risk was still very small.

For example, for a 50-year-old woman with no pre-existing heart risk factors, a 3-gray dose of radiation would increase her risk of having a major heart event before age 80 by 0.9% (from 4.5% to 5.4%). If she had one or more pre-existing heart risk factors, a 3-gray dose of radiation would increase her risk of having a major heart event before age 80 by 1.7%.

Radiation Treatments: Women treated with radiation for breast cancer are more likely to develop heart problems later in life, even with the lower doses used today, a troubling new study suggests. The risk comes from any amount of radiation, starts five years after treatment and lasts for decades. Some chemotherapy drugs are known to harm the heart muscle, but the new study shows radiation can hurt arteries, making them prone to harden and clog and cause a heart attack. Women who receive both treatments have both types of risk.

Fitness can help, studies found few prospective studies have evaluated breast cancer mortality in relation to cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), an objective marker of physiologic response to physical activity habits. The association between CRF and risk of death from breast cancer in the Aerobics Center Longitudinal Study. Women (N = 14,811), aged 20 to 83 year with no prior breast cancer history. maximal treadmill exercise test duration and was categorized for analysis as low (lowest 20% of exercise duration), moderate (middle 40%), and high (upper 40%). At baseline, all participants were able to complete the exercise test to at least 85% of their age-predicted maximal heart rate. This is a indication that Fitness is important to breast cancer patients. Skin Care for women with breast cancer is a major concern for breast cancer patients and their loves ones. Women that have to under go chemotherapy and radiation therapy skin care have improved over the years. Genomic science allows Researcher and Physicians to look at each breast cancer patient and recommend a treatment strategy to maintain skin management. Lets discus the different types of breast cancer. Breast cancer is a disease that occurs when malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the breast. There are three main types of invasive breast cancer (cancer that has spread beyond the layer of tissue in which it developed and is growing into surrounding, healthy tissues).

Invasive ductal carcinoma: Begins in the ducts that carry breast milk and is the most common type of breast cancer (8 in 10 women with breast cancer have this type) Invasive lobular carcinoma: Begins in the glands that make breast milk and is less common than invasive ductal carcinoma (1 in 10 women with breast cancer have this type) Inflammatory breast cancer: Found in the lymphatic system of the skin of the breast and is an uncommon type of breast cancer (1 percent to 3 percent of all breast cancer diagnoses are inflammatory breast cancer)

In advanced cases, breast cancer cells may spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body via the blood stream or lymph system.

Scientist say breast cancer chemotherapy treatment can cause your skin, hair, and nails to become brittle, dry, and sensitive. Cell turnover is diminished or halted all together during chemo treatments, meaning that the current cells of your skin may not be getting renewed like normal. This means that you need to treat your skin with care. The vitality of your skin, hair, and nails is going through the same struggles as the rest of your body. 1. Moisturizing your skin immediately after washing and toweling dry.

For your body, this means applying moisturizer after the bath or shower.

For your face, this usually means applying moisturizer in the morning and at night.

For your hands, this means moisturizing after washing many times during the day.

For your lips, this means using a hydrating lip balm throughout the day. 2. Cleansing your skin with gentle cleansing products only. Apply them only where you need them and be sure to rinse them off thoroughly with warm water.

For your body, this means you typically only need to soap up the parts of your skin that have the body odor glands (apocrine glands) including your armpits, groin, buttocks, and feet. If you still have oily skin when you are on chemo, you’ll also need to use cleanser on the oily areas of your back, neck, and chest too. For your face, this means using the mildest cleanser that gets off your makeup and products, but that isn’t so harsh as to dry out your skin. Don’t shoot for that tight “squeaky clean” feeling after washing because it means that you removed too much of your natural oils and actually irritated your skin.

For your hands, this means using cleanser only on your palms most of the time. Skin on the back of your hand rarely gets into germs and grime, and it’s fragile and prone to dryness. Also, the space between your fingers and under your rings trap cleanser, so be careful to rinse all the cleanser off well; retained cleanser will irritate and “burn” your skin, worsening some of the hand-skin problems that occur during chemo.
