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I was given this report from a fellow researcher it is out of date and I am trying to get a much up to date copy .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

There are three basic different types of skin cancer

Melanoma

Melanoma is the most serious form of skin cancer. Even so, if diagnosed and removed while it is still thin and limited to the outermost skin layer, it is almost 100% curable. Once the cancer advances and spreads to other parts of the body, it is harder to treat and can be deadly. During the past 10 years the number of cases of melanoma has increased more rapidly than that of any other cancer. Over 51,000 new cases are reported to the American Cancer Society each year, and it is probable that a great many more occur and are not reported.
Melanoma is a malignant tumor that originates in melanocytes, the cells that produce the pigment melanin that colors our skin, hair, and eyes and is heavily concentrated in most moles. The majority of melanomas, therefore, are black or brown. However, melanomas occasionally stop producing pigment. When that happens, the melanomas may no longer be dark, but are skin-colored, pink red, or purple.
The physician will tell you whether the melanoma is early or advanced by describing it as either in situ or invasive. "In situ" is Latin and means "in one site" or "localized." Melanomas in situ occupy only the uppermost part of the epidermis, the top layers of the skin.
Invasive melanomas are the more serious, as they have penetrated more deeply into the skin and may have traveled from the original tumor through the body.
Melanomas fall into four basic categories. Three of them begin in situ and sometimes become invasive; the fourth is invasive from the start. It is helpful to recognize the names and be able to define the characteristics of each type.

1. Superficial spreading melanoma is by far the most common type, accounting for about 70 percent of all cases. As you might expect, this melanoma travels along the top layer of the skin for a fairly long time before penetrating more deeply.

The first sign is the appearance of a flat or slightly raised discolored patch that has irregular borders and is somewhat geometrical in form. The color varies, and you may see areas of tan, brown, black, red, blue, or white. Sometimes an older mole will change in these ways, or a new one will arise. The melanoma can be seen almost anywhere on the body, but is most likely to occur on the trunk in men, the legs in women, and the upper back in both. Most melanomas found in the young are of the superficial spreading type.

2. Lentigo maligna is similar to the superficial spreading type, as it also remains close to the skin surface for quite a while, and usually appears as a flat or mildly elevated mottled tan, brown, or dark brown discoloration.

This type of in situ melanoma is found most often in the elderly, arising on chronically sun-exposed, damaged skin on the face, ears, arms, and upper trunk. Lentigo maligna is the most common form of melanoma in Hawaii.
Lentigo maligna melanoma is the invasive form.

3. The third type of melanoma, acral lentiginous melanoma, also spreads superficially before penetrating more deeply. It is quite different from the others, though, as it usually appears as a black or brown discoloration under the nails or on the soles of the feet or palms of the hands. This type of melanoma is sometimes found in dark-skinned people.
It is the most common melanoma in African-Americans and Asians, and the least common among Caucasians.

4. Unlike the other three types, nodular melanoma is usually invasive at the time it is first diagnosed. The malignancy is recognized when it becomes a bump. The color is most often black, but occasionally is blue, gray, white, brown, tan, red, or skin tone.

The most frequent locations are the trunk, legs, and arms, mainly of elderly people, as well as the scalp in men. This is the most aggressive of the melanomas, and is found in 10 to 15 percent of cases.

Malignant Melanomas

About Basal Cell Carcinoma

The Most Common Skin Cancer

Basal cell carcinoma is the most common form of skin cancer, affecting over 800,000 people in the USA, It is the most common of all cancers. One out of every three new cancers is a skin cancer, and the vast majority are basal cell carcinomas. These cancers arise in the basal cells, which are at the bottom of the epidermis (outer skin layer). Until recently, those most often affected were older people, particularly men who had worked outdoors. Although the number of new cases has increased sharply each year in the last few decades, the average age of onset of the disease has steadily decreased. More women are getting this form of cancer than in the past; but men still outnumber them greatly.

Chronic exposure to sunlight is the cause of almost all basal cell carcinomas, which occur most frequently on exposed parts of the body -- the face, ears, neck, scalp, shoulders, and back. Rarely, however, tumors develop on non-exposed areas. In a few cases, contact with arsenic, exposure to radiation, and complications of burns, scars, vaccinations, or even tattoos are contributing factors.
Anyone with a history of frequent sun exposure can develop basal cell carcinoma. But people who have fair skin, light hair, and blue, green, or gray eyes are at highest risk. Those whose occupations require long hours outdoors or who spend extensive leisure time in the sun are in particular jeopardy. Dark-skinned individuals are far less likely than fair-skinned to develop skin cancer. More than two-thirds of the skin cancers that they do develop, however, are squamous cell carcinomas, usually arising on the sites of preexisting inflammatory skin conditions or burn injuries.

Characteristics

The five most typical characteristics of basal cell carcinoma are in the pictures. Frequently, two or more features are present in one tumor. In addition, basal cell carcinoma sometimes resembles non-cancerous skin conditions such as psoriasis or eczema. Only a trained physician, usually a specialist in diseases of the skin, can decide for sure. Learn the signs of basal cell carcinoma, and examine your skin regularly -- as often as once a month if you are at high risk. Be sure to include the scalp, backs of ears, neck, and other hard-to-see areas. (A full-length mirror and a hand-held mirror can be very useful). If you observe any of the warning signs or some other change in your skin, consult your doctor immediately.

The Five Warning Signs of Basal Cell Carcinoma

An open sore that may bleed or ooze or possibly has a crust to it and remains an open wound for three weeks or more
A Reddish Patch or irritated area, frequently occurring on the chest, shoulders, arms, or legs. Sometimes the patch crusts. It may also itch or hurt. At other times, it persists with no noticeable discomfort.

A Shiny Bump or nodule, that is pearly or translucent and is often pink, red, or white. The bump can also be tan, black, or brown, especially in dark-haired people, and can be confused with a mole.

A Pink Growth with a slightly elevated rolled border and a crusted indentation in the center. As the growth slowly enlarges, tiny blood vessels may develop on the surface.

A Scar-like Area that is white, yellow or waxy, and often has poorly defined borders. The skin itself appears shiny and taut. Although a less frequent sign, it can indicate the presence of an aggressive tumor.

About Squamous Cell

Squamous Cell

Squamous cell carcinoma, the second most common skin cancer after basal cell carcinoma, this afflicts more than 200,000 people in the USA each year. It arises from the epidermis and resembles the squamous cells that comprise most of the upper layers of skin. Squamous cell cancers may occur on all areas of the body including the mucous membranes, but are most common in areas exposed to the sun.
Although squamous cell carcinomas usually remain confined to the epidermis for some time, they eventually penetrate the underlying tissues if not treated. In a small percentage of cases, they spread to distant tissues and organs. When this happens, they can be fatal. Squamous cell carcinomas that metastasize most often arise on sites of chronic inflammatory skin conditions or on the mucous membranes or lips.
Chronic exposure to sunlight causes most cases of squamous cell carcinoma. That is why tumors appear most frequently on sun-exposed parts of the body: the face, neck, bald scalp, hands, shoulders, arms, and back. The rim of the ear and the lower lip are especially vulnerable to the development of these cancers.
Squamous cell carcinomas may also occur where skin has suffered certain kinds of injury: burns, scars, long-standing sores, sites previously exposed to X-rays or certain chemicals (such as arsenic and petroleum by-products). In addition, chronic skin inflammation or medical conditions that suppress the immune system over an extended period of time may encourage development of squamous cell carcinoma.
Occasionally, squamous cell carcinoma arises spontaneously on what appears to be normal, healthy, undamaged skin. Some researchers believe that a tendency to develop this cancer may be inherited.
Anyone with a substantial history of sun exposure can develop squamous cell carcinoma. But people who have fair skin, light hair, and blue, green, or gray eyes are at highest risk. Those whose occupations require long hours outdoors or who spend extensive leisure time in the sun are in particular jeopardy. Dark-skinned individuals of African descent are far less likely than fair-skinned individuals to develop skin cancer. More than two thirds of the skin cancers that they do develop, however, are squamous cell carcinomas, usually arising on the sites of preexisting inflammatory skin conditions or burn injuries.

Precancerous Conditions

Certain precursor conditions, some of which result from extensive sun damage, are worth noting. They are sometimes associated with the later development of squamous cell carcinoma. They include:

·1	Actinic, or solar, keratosis. Actinic keratoses are rough, scaly, slightly raised growths that range in color from brown to red and may be up to one inch in diameter. They appear most often in older people.

·2	Actinic cheilitis. A type of actinic keratosis occurring on the lips, it causes them to become dry, cracked, scaly, and pale or white. It mainly affects the lower lip, which typically receives more sun exposure than the upper lip.

·3	Leukoplakia. These white patches on the tongue or inside of the mouth have the potential to develop into squamous cell carcinoma.

Bowen's disease. This is now generally considered to be a superficial squamous cell cancer that has not yet spread. It appears as a persistent red-brown, scaly patch that may resemble psoriasis or eczema. If untreated, it may invade deeper structures.

Regardless of appearance, any change in a preexisting skin growth, or the development of a new growth or open sore that fails to heal, should prompt an immediate visit to a physician. If it is a precursor condition, early treatment will prevent it from developing into a squamous cell carcinoma. Often, all that is needed is a simple surgical procedure or application of a topical chemotherapeutic agent.

Squamous cell carcinomas occur most frequently on areas of the body that have been exposed to the sun for prolonged periods. Usually, the skin in these areas reveals telltale signs of sun damage, such as wrinkling, changes in pigmentation, and loss of elasticity.

A persistent, scaly red patch with irregular borders that sometimes crusts or bleeds.

A wart-like growth that crusts and occasionally bleeds.

An open sore that bleeds and crusts and persists for weeks.

A review of the Cayce files

757Female 44

With this person Cayce found numerous problems and complications to do with the working of the epidermis and incordination of the glands, some of which were not functioning properly. A condition arises in the blood stream, which was carrying germs which was manifesting as a rash under the armpits, face, neck and groin. Cayce cautioned that this should be treated straight away as to leave it could cause a massive sapping of the strength of the body and if these germs become effective in the nervous system they could very well unbalance the person mentally. The glands affected were the thyroids, adrenals, and lacteals. Cayce said to add to the body help in the form of improving the eliminations. Atomidine 8-10 drops in a glass applied once a day. Cayce said that on the third day expect to feel slightly unbalanced and to reduce the dosage and on the second –third day begin again until proper balance in the system is achieved.
Twice a week apply the carbon ash this is to release more oxygen that will affect the circulation affecting the hearts activity and the lungs activity. Thirty to forty mins after the ash has been applied apply the ultraviolet ray over the solar plexus, or between the brachial plexus and the lumbar plexus. The ray is to be given for three mins and between 18-38 inches from the body, depending upon the power of the machine. The diet should not have any animal fat in it, plenty of fruit and vegetables. Once a week but not on the same day as the ultraviolet ray, apply the infra red ray but between the machine and the body place a crystal green glass this will affect the bone structure which produce cells that act in the capacity of the corpuses themselves. Give this for 30-40 mins at least 40 inches from the body particularly over ribs or rib area, sternum breast bone and back. Great change will come to this body if these instructions are followed within 32 days.
The lady said she had tried to follow to the letter the treatment, but on a check reading Cayce said that she was not consistent enough, with treatments being added to and sometimes removed but he noted improvemnets. Yet this sporadic treatment was also having some irritating affects within her.
A third reading was given spelling out very clearly what should be done as if starting from scratch.
Ist day give a tablespoon of milk of bismuth.
2nd day a tablespoon milk of magnesia.
3rd day take at least two tablets of willow charcoal.
4th day take two tablespoons of petrolagar.
Then apply the ultraviolet with the animated ash, apply for no more than three mins, then apply the infrared with the green glass, keep the green glass close to the body so as to change the ray from the infra red to the green ray.
Interestingly Cayce said that the infra red through the green glass would help eliminate poisons from the tendons, muscles and bone structure.
Beware of too great an amount of sugars. Mornings should be citrus fruits with brown toast or whole wheat. Noon meal -a highly vegetable diet preferably raw. Evenings -cooked vegetables in a ratio of two to one above the ground. High enemas should be taken once a month, more often if there is mucous or gas in the system.
Improvements from this were noted
A fourth reading was given for this lady and Cayce said that atomidine should be given in the mornings before any meal is taken, 3-5 drops in a glass of water. He also cautioned about the use of any sweets – moderation or little was to be used.
Cayce pointed at the skin rashes as having to do with the glands and the action of them.
Some real improvements were noted
A fifth reading was also given- Cayce noted that circulation and the blood stream had been improved. He said to keep up with the ash, which would keep the revitalizing forces in the blood stream active. Occasionally the atomidine should be taken to stimulate the activity 3-5 minims once or twice a day for 3-5 days. Keep up the general exercises up. Add around the abrasions on the lip and face castor oil. It would also be constructive to take small quantities of olive oil internally- one-week take 0.5 of a teaspoon 2-3 times a day. When regurgitation or belching is noticed reduce the quantity but keep on taking the olive oil. This will act upon the digestive system to keep an even balance, when you have taken this for 4-5 days stop and skip a week then resume. Do not take the atomidine and the olive oil together.
A 60% improvement was noted from the last reading
A sixth reading was undertaken and Cayce noted many improvements but also many things were giving trouble, nausea, irritations, heavy headaches. He recommended to continue with the treatment already outlined. He cautioned that the diet should not contain too many starch foods or sugar. He mentions an entire grape diet for three days and if there are any disturbances during this time apply a grape poultice over the stomach, liver area of at least 1.5 inches thick.
Continue with the animated ash and the ultra violet ray but for no more than 1.25 mins.
Of note apparently the ultraviolet light had been used for too long a period and this said Cayce caused pain in the adrenals because the internal stimulation was too strong from the ray.
Have as series of at least three periods of the entire grape diet.
More improvements were noted.
A seventh reading was given.
Cayce said that conditions were very good. Use of the rays should be continued and things would get better and better.
For the rash and the deep headaches, Cayce advised a compound which should be massaged into the place where the irritation is shown and at the base of the brain to the lower cervicals.
Mix thoroughly 1oz of iodex with 10 grains of animated ash – gently massage into the areas specified.
More improvements followed.
An eighth reading followed
Cayce advised that when the problems start with the digestive forces or the eliminating channels revert to the use of the violet ray. Have a massage occasionally.
The lady was still having headaches, vomiting and pain to her right side so Cayce said to be persistent and consistent and things will get better.
The lady was immensely grateful for all the work and improvements she had made.
