The best cancer to have is the one you never get! This statement calls upon preventive measures to be the STAR in all people’s lives. Disheartening but true, the reality we live in is that of a society so focused on finding a cure to cancer, that we take for granted our responsibility to prevent it in the first place. Majority of people focus on the tumor, determining the efficacy of therapy based on the tumor’s reaction. (Is it growing/shrinking? Is it gone for good or is it coming back?) With ...

Nanomedicine, an offshoot of nanotechnology, refers to highly specific medical intervention at the molecular scale for curing disease. A nanometer is one-billionth of a meter, too small to be seen with a conventional lab microscope. NanoMedicine technology inspired by platelet-derived microparticles (PMPs). PMPs, originally reported by Wolf in the 1960s as ‘platelet dust’, these membrane fragments shed from activated platelets. The advantage of this type of delivery system is that are no detrime...

Cancer cells are like zombies. They have lost their purpose and meaning in life, but instead of running for the hills…they keep coming for you. It’s jarring and destructive that way! And, as we strive to find better treatment and prevention strategies, it’s important to acknowledge one indisputable truth: cancer cells are what they are because they could no longer fulfill their purpose. This is why there is no singular solution for cancer — and thus, why integrative solutions are so essential. M...

Taking care of your health is crucial, especially during a pandemic. But it's even more important when you've been diagnosed with cancer. But the big question is: How Do You Do That?!

Companies are downsizing, people getting retrenched, Covid wards still filling up. And so, one can only imagine what people like Diane Peters mi...

“Victorious warriors win first, and then go to war. Defeated warriors go to war first, and then seek to win.” – Sun Tzu (Art of War) What’s powerful about this thought is that it speaks of VICTORY as a predetermined outcome that is the product of a certain mental state, and NOT a random consequence of the efforts of going to war. If we consider this idea as a truth applicable to medical practice, we can say that winning against illnesses and conditions can be predetermined so long as we possess ...

We forget that death comes to us all. We usually think it’ll come for others but accepting our own mortality is probably the most difficult thing to do. It’s not that we think we can elude death. It’s that no one wants to think of the end…until the signs come up. Dr. Pradeep Bansal was diagnosed with ureteral cancer (Sept, 2019). Pain and massive blood discharge during urination prompted him to go to the hospital where doctors found an early stage of cancer. Stage 1 cancer didn’t merit chemother...

When death comes calling, how do you respond? Do you secretly welcome that knock on your door, exhausted as you are from the struggles of daily life?

Needless to say, Viki Zarkin chose the latter when she was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer, and her doctor asked that she gets her affairs in order. Viki remembers clear as day, her hands grabbing her d...

There is a widespread belief that cancer is caused, at least in part, by aberrant mental processes. Stemming from this belief is the idea that cancer may be cured by the application of the mind. Within our subconscious is a programming that’s meant to keep us alive and safe. Up on the surface is the conscious mind that receives data from the environment and logically determines our actions based on a given stimulus. When these 2 parts of our minds don’t agree with each other, the conscious mind ...

Scenes in the medical community usually involves treating symptoms of a disease. The problem with sending symptoms away is that they either come back as a relapse or something worse. And as Dr. Marlene Siegel puts it, “we’re designed to survive until unfavorable conditions change to where we can go back to thriving”. If thriving is the ultimate goal, simply targeting the symptoms of cancer (among other diseases) can mean winning the battle but losing the war. Dr. Marlene is best known for integr...

Possibly the most frightening bit about cancer is the number of people who submit to their “fate”. Many patients diagnosed with cancer (even in the early stages) give up before they’ve considered all their options.
