Cancer Drugs Called Love

Cancer April 26th, 2010


deadly diseases like cancer does not just need an intensive treatment, but also need a touch of psychological treatment. Love and affection from the family is very important.

Patients with cancer, particularly advanced stage, usually filled with anger, fear, and depression at the thought of her illness. Therefore, family support is very necessary in the treatment of patients. This is to enhance the spirit of life and commitment to keep patients undergoing treatment. The medical personnel should also treat it holistically.

Holistic treatment based on two things, namely the physical treatment and psychological treatment, and both are very closely related. As I’ve said philosopher Plato, “There is no point in treating the body without treating the mind”.

“The man who was diagnosed with cancer will decrease the condition of his soul. He will depression, depressed, hopeless, and other negative feelings, “said palliative care experts from Dharmais Cancer Hospital, Dr. Maria Astheria Wijaksono, in a discussion” The Role of Love in Cancer Therapy “, which was held CISC (Cancer Information & Support Center) , Jakarta.

For that, he added, the understanding of psychological conditions that occur for patients with severe disease need to be known, not only by the patient, but also for families, those around him, and the doctors or the people who helped cure these patients.

According to Maria, medicine called palliative therapy involving psychologists actually relatively new. In the 1960s, when chemotherapy treatment for cancer patients newly discovered, the doctor only boost the physical treatment, while the psychological side is negligible.

“Doctors do not see how the side effects of cancer patients from the psychological aspect. How does he have to lose his hair during chemotherapy, separated from his family for months, it occurred to anyone who brought their children to school, how the sexual needs of her husband, and others, “he said.

But today, he said, the overall treatment at the hospital have been applied. That way, patients will continue to be accompanied by a psychologist who helped him overcome this bitter reality.

“The role of the wife or husband, children, family, and friends is very important to enhance the spirit of his life again,” explained Maria.

Generally, she reveals there are five phases of the patient’s emotional reaction when informed that cancer had advanced. The first phase is to deny or reject the reality. He will blame the doctor who assessed the wrong diagnosis. Then, she would be angry about the fact that they face. In fact, to blame God for thinking himself a good person and live a healthy lifestyle but still had cancer.

“He questioned God why is not someone else who had cancer evil. I am a good person, “he said.

The third phase is considered. After his doctor assured him that the illness was lodged in the body, patients are not denied again and slowly by slowly accepting it. New after this phase, the patient began to overcome the depression that is prolonged sadness about him and his family lived. After this phase passed, the patient finally realize and accept the reality of life that he was suffering from terminal cancer. Peak, in this fifth phase, he surrendered himself to God about his illness.

“He’s thinking could not run anywhere else, and would not want to accept this disease,” says Maria.

Does finished up here? Maria insists not. Actually there is one more phase, the patient began to adjust to the situation himself. For example breast cancer patients who have been appointed, he still dressed up, serving her husband, socializing as usual without feeling uncomfortable after the loss of breast physical therapy.

Well, for the patient in such a stage, he said, it takes time and the process is not for a moment. However, it can be accelerated by providing a sense of love. With love and affection, cancer patients can feel myself not undergo treatment and vibrant life back.

“There is a similar illness, the same hospital, same doctor, the medicine together, the same age, but there are better faster and there is not. That’s because the feeling of love from one patient’s family more than others, “added Maria.

CHOCOLATE, fatty foods, artificial sweeteners and starch-based foods are all types of food that a suspect for the appearance of acne. Although the truth is still much controversy.

Hormonal changes, including changes that occurred in early puberty, acne triggers. Expand and testosterone affect the gland because of the oil production in the body and the accumulation of bacteria. This reaction is exacerbated by stress and the menstrual cycle.

Research from the U.S. University of Pennsylvania and the U.S. Naval Academy reported that the digestive process to consume large amounts of chocolate did not affect the appearance of acne.

A recent study showed that the compound in chocolate associated with acne rosacea or type in adults. But the accuracy of the case in the emergence of pimples because the chocolate can not be ascertained.

As for fatty foods, no study has shown that fatty foods associated with the cause of acne. But if you find foods that can aggravate your acne problem, you should remove from the list of daily consumption.

A recent study conducted U.S. Colorado State University revealed that carbohydrates derived from packaged foods and processed foods that are high level such as bread, pizza, cake and pastries, causing a variety of reactions in the body that will increase the production of acne. This is caused by the bacteria in these foods.

The study found that food causes the body to produce insulin in a high level. Foods are responsible for male hormones in acne problems.
