Easy Understnding To Lung Cancer Symptom

What is lung cancer?

Lung cancers are cancers that begin in the lungs.
Other types of cancers may spread to the lungs
from other organs.

However, these are not lung cancers
because they did not start in the lungs.

When cancer cells spread from one organ to
another, they are called metastases.


What are the symptoms of lung cancer?

Different people have different symptoms for
lung cancer. Some people don't have any
symptoms at all.

About 25% of people with lung cancer
do not have symptoms from advanced
cancer when their lung cancer is found.

Lung cancer symptoms may include:

shortness of breath
coughing that doesn't go away
wheezing
coughing up blood
chest pain
fever
weight loss

Other changes that can sometimes occur
with lung cancer may include repeated
bouts of pneumonia, changes in the shape
of the fingertips, and swollen or enlarged
lymph nodes (glands) in the upper chest
and lower neck.

These symptoms can happen with other
illnesses, too.

People with symptoms should talk to their
doctor, especially if they smoke, but
even if they don't.

Doctors can help find the cause.

Types of Lung Cancer

There are two major types of lung cancer:
small cell lung cancer (SCLC)
non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

If a lung cancer has characteristics of
both types it is called a mixed small
cell/large cell carcinoma.
This is uncommon.

These two types of lung cancer
are discussed separately because
they are treated very differently.

Fasting and Arthritis 20

Fast on with Carrot Juice.

A vegetable-juice fast significantly reduces
pain for many patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

Carrot juice, celery juice, cabbage juice, or
tomato juice can be used.

Fast on nothing but the vegetable juice for one day
during the first week to get started.

Follow that by alternate fasting for two days
during the next week (i.e., Monday and Wednesday)
and three days during the third week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday).

Don't attempt any type of fasting without your
doctor's supervision, however.

Vegetable Oil and Arthritis 19

Cut back on Vegetable Oil.

There's no question that vegetable oils are generally
beneficial to most people, but studies show that
people with arthritis may be a special case and may
need to minimize their intake of vegetable oils while
increasing their intake of oils rich in omega-3's.

That doesn't mean doing without vegetables but it
does mean cutting back on oil-containing products like
salad dressings, fried foods, and margarines.

These foods contain high levels of omega-6 fatty acids,
which have been shown to cause inflammation in those
with rheumatoid arthritis.

Two oils that are low in Omega-6's are canola oil,
made from rapeseed, and olive oil.

These two oils can be used in moderation and it's
best to keep the overall level of fat in your diet at
less than 30 percent of total calories.

Diet and Arthritis 18

Practice Food Avoidance.

The most dramatic results are seen when rheumatoid
arthritis patients avoid foods from the nightshade
family and milk products.

The nightshade plant family consists of white potatoes,
tomatoes, eggplant, tobacco, and all peppers except
black pepper.

Arthritis sufferers develop their own personalized
diet by utilizing a food-avoidance testing plan.

One testing plan worth trying calls for removing all
forms of a food you crave from your diet, under the
theory that you may be literally addicted to the foods
you're allergic to.

If, for example, you really crave tomatoes, remove all traces of that
food from your diet for a week. Make sure there is no tomato
in anything you eat-which means checking labels on processed
foods as well as avoiding tomatoes in their raw form.

If your symptoms get worse over the next three to
four days, you may have an allergy to that food,
because a worsening of symptoms can be a
sign of addiction.

By the fifth or sixth day without the food, you should
feel better.

If so, this may be a good time to make an
appointment with a physician for a complete
allergy screening.
