Lung Cancer

Be sure that you have read carefully the cayce philosophy page as missing any one of the principles there could cost you in some form – we know we have done it.
One of the most important principles overlooked by thousands if not millions of people outlined by cayce and others where people are suffering from any condition is to do everything they can to help others in whatever capacity they can. Cayce frequently mentioned that this would bring faster results. This is a great ingredient in helping all people to transmute their own karma. See other pages on this particularly important aspect.

Lung cancer is one of the most serious of the cancer branches why because the body depends upon getting oxygen to all of its cells, this is achieved through the lungs.If the supply of oxygen is impaired in any way serious consequences arise. Each lung contains about 3oo million alveoli and there job is to transfer oxygen and carbon dioxide through their walls, the alveoli have extremely fragile walls. Damage to these can be very serious and can lead to holes in the tissue of the lungs. Lung cancer and emphysema can damage these very fragile walls; any damage to the alveoli can lead to abnormally high or low values of the two gasses of respiration. This effect in turn triggers other mechanisms within the body to react to the wrong levels. Heart and respiration are adversely effected and the whole pH balance of the body can alter which in turn makes the kidneys work harder in an attempt to keep the body in balance. Apparently too high a concentration of carbon dioxide can kill you. If oxygen levels go to low another hormone is produced, so as you can see the vital action and functioning of the lungs. Very difficult breathing can arise from damage to the lungs and extreme fatigue.
The name cancer is a group of diseases which are characterized by uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells apparently there are control mechanisms within all cells and these control mechanisms when damaged cause cells to behave improperly. Cancer cells can also spread throughout different parts of the body infesting organs etc. Apparently some researchers say that it can take between 10-20 yrs before a cancer can be made visible by conventional methods.

Lung cancer will kill approximately 67,300 women in the U.S. this year -- more than breast and ovarian cancer combined. Lung cancer deaths surpassed breast cancer deaths in 1987.
Lung cancer is now the leading cancer killer of women in this country - claiming more lives than breast and ovarian cancer combined. Although lung cancer currently kills more men each year than prostate cancer, the lung cancer incidence rate among men continues to decline. Lung cancer remains the leading cancer killer of all Americans, claiming an estimated 157,400 men and women in 2001 - more lives than breast,

prostate, and colorectal cancers combined. An early diagnosis can increase five-year survival by 85%. Much progress has been made in treating lung cancer with surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy. The survival rate is 49% for cases detected when the disease is still localized.
The two main types of lung cancer are non-small cell (80% of all cases) and small cell (20% of all cases). The names refer to the kinds of cells that make up the tumor rather than the size of the tumor.
There are three sub types
1.adenocarcinomas

2.Squamonus or epidermoid carcinoma this is located in the bronchial tubes.

3.Large cell carcinoma, this is found near the surface,
Lung cancer almost always begins in one lung and if left untreated can spread not only to other lung but also throughout the body- bones liver brain or other organs.

Small cell lung cancer

This is highly associated with smoking and grows and spreads quickly.
Around 85%of people diagnosed with cancer are diagnosed in the late stage making treatment much more difficult. Smokers and non-smokers are at risk.
Lung cancer risk factors include smoking, organic chemicals, arsenic, radon and asbestos; radiation exposure from medical and environmental sources air pollution, TB.Lung cancer has sky rocketed with women over the last two decades.
The risk of getting lung cancer it seems is in direct proportion to the number of cigarettes you smoke.
Early detection is critical; when caught early most lung cancers can be cured.

Determining the extent of the cancer is a very important step in determining the treatment plan by conventional means.

One in six of people who get lung cancer have never smoked.

According to some sources genetic factors may play a part in the disposition of getting lung cancer.

The environmental department in the USA estimates that 3000 people die from second hand smoke.
One of the things which is quite striking is that within the cancer there are cells which have undergone 10-20 mutations, clearly indicating something is making these cells unstable.

Radon, which is a gas, has also been shown to be carcinogenic, there are kits available to measure just how much you are exposed to in your home.
Arsenic, chromium nickel and some of their compounds have also been shown to increase lung cancer risk.

75 󈟁 % of people diagnosed with cancer have the small cell variety.
Adenocarcinoma is the most common form among women generally starting at the outside of the breast and sometimes spreads throughout the body.
Squamous carcinoma about 30-35% of cancer cases -most often found in men and starts in the bronchial tubes and is more likely to cause bleeding and obstruction of the breathing tubes. It also tends to stay more localized around the chest area.
Large cell carcinoma tends to be decreasing but also tends to be larger when diagnosed, tends to invade the nervous system.
Small cell cancer tends to be more aggressive and spreads to lymph nodes and other organs more quickly, tends to be in smokers or former smokers. It also tends to start in the breathing tubes.
Carcinoid tumors may also form in the lungs and other parts of the body.
Malignant mesothiloma is a rare form of cancer and is difficult to diagnose with symptoms of dyspepsia and chest wall pain. Asbestos is the prominent cause of this disease.
171000 people in the USA are diagnosed with lung cancer each year.

Symptoms

A persistent cough which does not go away or difficult breathing, coughing, fatigue chest shoulder or upperback pain, reappeared pneumonia or bronchitis.blood coughed up in the sputum hoarseness wheezing, swelling of the face. Routine x-rays have found quite a lot of cases.
Early detection is critical and is usually shown on xray or CT scans. Sputum tests though are sometimes used to detect cancer cells. CT scans may bring up tumors more easily than do x-rays.
During an examination your doctor should be measuring your breathing with special tests. He also should be checking your lymph nodes on you neck for enlargement and check your liver for enlargement
Pet scan imagery has been shown to help determine just how far the cancer has spread.

Conventional treatment
Non small cell cancer

First line of defense seems to be chemotherapy and if caught at stage 1 there appears to be a 60-70 % survival rate after 5 yr.
Apparently there is no telling just how a particular cancer drug will fare upon you as this depends it seems on the exact type of cancer cells being treated and how the body reacts to the treatment. Sometimes surgery can also be the first stage of treatment. Radiation therapy is used to shrink the tumor according to these sources.
Side effects from surgery are acute pain at the actual site of the incision which goes on for long periods after the treatment. Obviously acute stress is often caused to the body from the surgery and other medications, which are made as a result of this.

Radiation therapy which directs a beam of high-energy particles at the tumor is used to reduce the size and to try and halt the spread of the cancer cells. The actual amount of radiation varies greatly depending on size, location etc. Side effects from this treatment are the fact that the radiation can damage good cells although it appears that this is minimized by using 3d imaging techniques. Fatigue, skin irritation and sore throat are some of the possible side effects. Difficulty in swallowing as a side effect may mean that you will be eating liquid foods. Fibrous tissue also forms which can cause pain in breathing. About 10% of people suffer from fever cough and shortness of breath following radiation treatment. Loss of hair in the treated area, which may not grow back, is another side effect.

Chemotherapy drugs seem to work by killing all cells that are dividing rapidly including normal ones. Side effects to this treatment are wide and serious because the drugs attack normal cells such as skin cells, blood cells, cells of the lining of the intestine, the immune system is suppressed which means there is a much greater risk of infection, anemia can also develop because of the drugs ability to attack good cells. This causes fatigue and stress. Other side effects are blood clots, confusion and loss of mental clarity, constipation diarrhea fatigue, hair loss, anemia, neutrapenia, nausea vomiting.
Chemotherapy clearly effects the blood in a massive way affecting the number of white cells and platelets. One can only guess at the effects going on in the liver kidneys and the lymphatic system. Pet scans, a lessening of pain a cough, which is easier, are signs that the therapy may be working.
The risk of getting lung cancer again after being cleared of it are high with conventional treatment as the underlying cause has not been treated.
Gene therapy is also mentioned to the effect that by inserting genetic material it is hoped that the gene responsible for uncontrolled growth may be supplemented, a variety of research methods are going on to stop cancer cells from multiplying or even forming by modifying the immune system.
Research has shown that nutrients do effect tumor growth.
An interesting number of studies have been done with herbs
Astragulus
According to one leading book on cancer this is prescribed to reduce the side effects of conventional treatment and to boost the immune system
Echinacea this is prescribed to guard against infection, which is often present in advanced stages of cancer.
Essiac tea has been shown to have a certain amount of anti cancer activity and to strengthen the immune system
Garlic – in animal studies this has been shown to stop the spread of cancer in the breast bladder, skin colon and to halt the initial development of tumors in the lungs, esophagus and stomach.
Green tea certain studies have shown that this inhibits the growth of cancers, strengthens the immune system. A clinical trial is apparently underway in humans.

For the millions of people who already have cancer? A person who was dying. The doctors had all come to the same conclusion regarding the case: more and stronger painkillers for the remaining few months of his life. His cancer was not the kind they could chop out or burn out with radium. For him it was more morphine.” Some choice! But there are places in the world where NOBODY ever gets Cancer. Convinced that diet is a factor, he looked to see what they all had in common. He read everything he could find relating diet to cancer, and found out about a chemical substance found in almonds, apricot seeds, lima beans, and many other foods. Isolated by Dr. E. T. Krebs at the same time Hoffman discovered LSD, the substance was called amygdalen [amygdalin]. It is now being marketed (but NOT in the U.S.) under the name Laetrile, and is also known as vitamin B-17. Apparently To prevent cancer, we need only include in our diet those foods rich in B-17, PROVIDED our diet is balanced in other respects.

I was given this report from a fellow researcher it is out of date and I am trying to get a much up to date copy .

Annex C
Cancers

Burdens

C1. After coronary heart disease, cancers are the most common cause of mortality. In 1989 cancers accounted for 25% of all deaths and 26% of the total life years lost under the age of 65 .Around 7% of all NHS expenditure goes on cancer treatment and prevention.

C2. Cancers include a large number of very different conditions. In men the most common are lung cancer (25%of total registrations in 1998) followed by skin cancer (other than melanoma)13%and cancer of the large intestine and rectum(11%)and lung cancer (10%) .In terms of deaths under 65, the most frequent causes are lung cancer in men and breast cancers in women.

C3 Overall rates of cancer incidence and mortality have changed little since the mid 1970s although death rates under 65 have declined particularly amongst males. There have also been changes in the balance between different cancers. Skin cancers have particularly increased while stomach cancers have decreased.

Objective
C4. To reduce death and ill health from cancers

Scope for meeting

This objective

C5. Cancers vary enormously and the scope for reducing the ill health and death thy cause varies commensurately. Some can be prevented and some cannot.
Early detection is valuable in some cases but not in others. Some cancers can be treated some as yet cannot.

(a)Prevention
c6 The causes of cancer are not fully understood .It is estimated that up to (85%of mortality is potentially avoidable. The most significant factor is undoubtedly tobacco. Tobacco accounts for 30%of all cancer deaths, including about 90%of the 32500 deaths in England from lung cancer each year.

Diet may contribute to a vary of cancers being responsible for at least 10%of the total. Current evidence suggests that less than 2%of cancer deaths are caused by environmental factors such as air pollution and ionizing radiation, which causes so much public concern.

(h) Screening and early detection
C7 There has been considerable effort in recent years to develop effective and cost effective methods of detecting cancers when they are curable. These include the introduction of screening programs for cancer of the breast and cervix.

(C) TREATMENT

C8 The standard methods of cancer treatment are surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy , singly and in combination. The effects have been estimated as

Cured by cancer alone 22%
Cured by radiotherapy alone 12%
Cured by a combination of surgery and radiotherapy 6%
Cured by chemotherapy alone 1.6 %
Cured by chemotherapy combined with other methods 2.5%
Hormone therapy is also increasingly used.

Cayce treatment

Attributed to Edgar Cayce is the claim, eat two or three almonds a day and you won't get cancer. Underlying this is the basic fact that cancer, like most bodily malfunctions, is the result of a dietary deficiency in certain natural substances. Supply these substances, and the adverse condition won't develop.

Cayce dealt with 7 people who had lung cancer .One had swallowed a brass pin which was producing serious infectious forces, this patient was very nearly dead when a reading was requested, however following the cayce information significant improvements were made.

511-1female age 50
Cayce found her lungs to have a malignant amount of tissue in her lung which was not only robbing her system of life force but also filling the blood supply with nasty bacilli, which was spreading throughout the system. Excruciating pains were found with the lady.
Cayce said to give narcotics or hypnotics is to gradually allow the body to lose its resistance or ability for resuscitation.
To operate on this person would also prevent proper coagulation of tissue because the problem was not just in the tissue; infection had spread along the veins, arteries and their walls.
To alleviate the pains although at first it may cause some nausea –take a tablespoon of limewater and cinnamon water to this add a few minims 3-10 minims of 10% solution of iodide of potassium. When this has settled the stomach give another dose.
To two oz of compound syrup
Then add oil of eucalyptus 40 minims
Rectified oil of turp5 minims
Tincture of benzion 20 minims
Codeine 1-1.5 grains
Dosage- teaspoonful 3 or more times each day in the beginning to save the body from severe pain. This was to replace the injections or narcotics. This will add constructive influences in the blood supply.
Each day take one quarter grain animated ash half of it taken about 9-10 o clock in the morning and the other half taken 3-4 in the afternoon. Five mins after the ash has been taken apply the ultraviolet light for 1.5-2 mins at least 38-40 inches from the body over the lower cervical and upper dorsal area. Preferably use the quartz light of the mercury quartz light .If this reddens the body too much use a piece of green glass in front of the light.
The light taken after the ash will cause the ash to clarify through the releasing of oxygen in the blood stream by being centered on the portion of the lungs affected and the adjacent tissues.
Every day preferably in the evening apply this compound.
Take one oz of iodex add 2 grains of animated ash mix thoroughly together, massage this into the breast from the joining of the collar bone to the end of the breast.
Follow the cayce diet and keep the eliminations normal.

No Reports

1070-1 male age 48
Who was dying with the doctors saying they could do nothing?
Cayce confirmed that conditions were serious with organs being affected and the blood supply. The lungs were not even producing enough oxygen to go into the body.
Animated ash was to be given for 26-36 days, one eighth grain taken internally each day, putting the powder on the tongue and wash down it with water.
Every other day apply after the ash has been taken apply the ultraviolet ray over the cerebrospinal system that govern the lower lungs 1.5 – 2 mins exposure. Interestingly this was to aid the leukocytes to destroy the tissue.
Add the fumes of apple brandy from a charred oak keg which was to be 3times the size of the brandy itself. Keep this near to a heat source, which will enable the fumes to come off easier. This was to purify the system and to aid the body build resistance.
Eliminations must be kept normal .Colonics were to be administered to aid these.
Diet – follow the cayce diet

No Reports

4436-1 female adult
Many abnormal conditions were found with this lady, bacteria were found in the blood supply which were being formed from some sort of contamination. These were forming from the non-functioning of organs. In the Lungs larynx and bronchials were found problems, which were formed from the lymphatic system. The heart was also affected as was the colon, kidneys and also the organs of the pelvis.
Treatment recommended.
To one gall of rain water add 4oz of sarsaparilla root, 2oz wild cherry bark,
2 oz of yellow dock root, 2oz burdock root, 2oz sanguinaria root we would also supply the mandrake root in the form of prodophyllum and the bucho leaves- thirty grains.
Reduce this by simmering to one quart.Strain while warm and then add 4oz of grain alcohol with 3 drams of balsum of tolu. Dosage a tablespoon full three times a day.
Keep a positive prayerful attitude. Keep to the cayce diet with an additional comment of taking in vegetable matter which was grown above ground, take water with a little small quantity of elm and sassafras root.
Use this suggestion with the thought of with each and every treatment that you are soon going to be well.
This lady wrote back that she was feeling stronger and she had accomplished lots.

4436-2 same lady a check reading was given to see how things were improving.
Inflammation in the pulmonaries was found which was causing the lungs to not work well.
Nerve plexus and lower lumbar- much inflammation was found.
Digestive tract was much improved, but the kidneys were producing an excess of acid.
The body was much improved from the suggestion and the mental attitude.
Recommendations were to keep up with the treatment and then add the violet ray over the bronchials and then over the frontal portion of the lungs at the apex of the bronchial tube or upper portion of the lung.
Then over the spinal column from the 2 dorsal to the 6-7 and cervicals to the second. Over the lumber only across the sacral region.
For the congestion in the bronchials -which was only to be used when there was coughing or tickling
To 4 oz of grain alcohol, add
Eucalytus oil 40 minims
Oil of white pine cut with rectified of turp white pine 15 minims
Oil of turp 10 minims added to the solution after
