'Tis the time of year when change of seasons and crisp cool air bring with them the familiar dry coughs and nagging aches and pains of the flu (technically known as influenza). The flu is a viral infection that attacks the respiratory tract. Flu symptoms are usually more severe than those of the common cold, and may include fever, headache, sore throat, sneezing and runny, stuffy nose, loss of appetite, muscle soreness, general weakness, and sometimes nausea or vomiting. The flu typically lasts one to two weeks. If left untreated, the flu can lead to life-threatening complications such as pneumonia, especially among the elderly, women who are pregnant, or people with chronic illnesses. Flu epidemics cause an average of 20,000 deaths each year in the United States.

“I woke up and they told me I had an colostomy bag and they told me that I had cancer all in my stomach.”

Those were the haunting words Sheila West-Yorek heard from her doctors at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas in November, 2003. The cancer was a result of new tumors that had grown on her ovaries and metastasized to her stomach. The cruel irony of this is that her once healthy ovaries had received preventative radiation treatments during a bout with cervical cancer eleven years before, and now her worst fears were realized.

There is a significant chance that you will go through surgery at some point in your life, your chances for a full and speedy recovery do not necessarily lay in the hands of your doctor or other health care professionals. You have more control over your recovery than you may think. But you have to prepare yourself for a healthy surgical procedure. The lack of proper care for your body before, during, and after your surgery will often determine how quickly you will recover and perhaps even survive your surgery.

Unless we put medical freedom into the Constitution, the time will come when medicine will organize into an undercover dictatorship... To restrict the art of healing to one class of men and deny equal privileges to others will constitute the Bastille of medical science. All such laws are un-American and despotic and have no place in a republic...The Constitution of this republic should make a special privilege for medical freedom..."

Now that we are in the midst of hot summer days and spending more time outdoors, it’s important to hydrate your skin and protect it from sun damage.  Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States, with more than 1 million new cases diagnosed each year. By age 65, nearly half of us will have weathered at least one case of it.

Protecting your skin from the sun is only one element of a healthy skin regime. Healthy skin also depends on what you eat, whether you exercise, how much stress you are under, and even the kind of environment in which you live and work. World renowned oncologist and homeopathic physician, Dr. James Forsythe, recommends ten steps in maintaining healthy skin and simultaneously preventing skin cancer.

Recurrence, by cancer definition, is the return of cancer after the removal of the tumor, at the same location or in a new location, months or years after the cancer was first removed.

World Renowned Oncologist, Dr. James Forsythe explains the major cause of recurrence. “The reason why the cancer appears again is that before the removal of the cancer, cells from the malignant tumor traveled to a new location through the circulatory and/or lymphatic system. These cells then grow and spread, then undetected by the doctor, even after the original tumor is removed.“ This is not always the case for cancer subjects, but each and every patient runs his or her own risk at contracting cancer again

“It is really unfortunate when even vitamins and essential minerals are either condemned by the AMA and even the FDA as either placebo pills or in some cases dangerous drugs.  The patient’s options of healthcare are being cruelly limited.” –James Wm. Forsythe, MD, HMD

Most people know that taking vitamins and minerals is good for their health. But did you know that there are more than 20,000 studies in the National Library of Medicine documenting the increased health benefits of vitamins and some essential minerals when taken at higher levels than the U.S. government Recommended Daily Allowances (RDAs)?

If you or someone you love struggles with joint pain, stiffness, and/or inflammation, arthritis pain may be the cause. Suffering from arthritis can make routine activities such as household chores, getting out of the bed in the morning, or even writing a letter increasingly strenuous.

It is a common misconception that arthritis is just an old-person's disease. It affects nearly 21 million Americans of all ages, gender, and race, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). There are over 100 types of arthritis and rheumatic diseases including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, gout, polymyalgia rheumatica, spondylarthropathies, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE or lupus), juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, and scleroderma.  The common denominator for all these conditions is joint and musculoskeletal pain, which is why they are grouped together as 'arthritis.' Often that pain is a result of inflammation of the joint lining.

The overuse of antibiotics is rampant, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Current estimates show that two million people acquire bacterial infections in US hospitals each year and 90,000 die as a result. With 110 million courses of antibiotics being prescribed each year, antibiotic-resistance has spread globally at an alarming rate and continues to increase. Some studies show that more than 70 percent of ailments for which antibiotics are prescribed are viral in nature; meaning an antibiotic treatment does little good.

The Good News...

The good news about diabetes is that it can be well-controlled with medication, nutritional supplements, diet, and exercise. In the last decade, diabetes care has changed dramatically with the development of new drugs and devices along with several promising complimentary and alternative clinical studies on diabetes.

World renowned oncologist and homeopathic physician, James W. Forsythe says that diabetes is manageable and in some cases even reversible. “Diet, exercise and medications are the combination that can keep diabetes controlled. It’s now easier than ever to manage this chronic disease with complimenting conventional therapies by using nutritional supplements that specifically support the body’s glucose metabolism.”

News coverage of ABC News anchorman Peter Jennings' death from lung cancer and Dana Reeve's lung cancer diagnosis has led to a significant increase in public awareness. Jennings, who announced in April that he had lung cancer, died last month at age 67. In August, Dana Reeve, 44, wife of the late actor Christopher Reeve, announced that she has lung cancer.
These high profile cases have made millions of Americans keenly aware of lung cancer's continuing toll. Here at Cancer Screening and Treatment Center of Nevada and the Century Wellness Clinic, there has been a flurry of e-mails on the subject of lung cancer with questions on prevention, risks and treatment options.

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with cancer, Poly-MVA therapy might be your best alternative. It's not conventional cancer therapy. Nor is it chemotherapy or even immunotherapy. It's a patented food supplement that is taking center stage in the battle against cancer.
