Cancer Support

Cancer refers to uncontrolled and abnormal cell growth, which may have more than 250 different forms. The cells develop into a lump (or tumour) which may be malignant (cancerous) or benign (non-cancerous).

Malignant cells spread (metastasize) to adjacent tissues or throughout the body via the lymphatic system. Benign tumours remain localised and may disappear of their own accord (spontaneous remission) or become malignant.

With the popularity of outdoor pursuits in sunny climates, there is an increase in the incidence of skin cancer over the years. Lung cancer is most often the result of Smoking cigarettes, as well as exposure to other forms of environmental pollution. Colon cancer seems to be directly related to the modern diet. Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men. Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in American women and is the leading cause of death during middle age.

Due to the serious nature of the condition it is better to visit a health professional for personal advice on nutritional support.

Quickies - A Gut Feeling!
Don't quote me, but I think I once read that if the ratio between the good and bad bacteria in your gut is 50%, then you're effectively dead! Did you know that after the cold, digestive upsets cause more time off work than any other complaint? Irritable Bowel (IBS) is no laughing matter. Illness, stress, a poor diet, heavy drinking, antibiotics - good bacteria, probiotics, can help ease symptoms. As well as eating more fibre (fruit, veg and bran), getting exercise, drinking adequate water, looking at food allergens, such as wheat and diary, you an make a difference by taking a good probiotic. In addition to the right food and supplementation, probiotics may help deal with holiday tummys, wind, bloating, constipation and thursh and help cope better with stress. It's a subject well worth reading up on.

We sell a range of products that may help with digestive health as well as a variety of acidophilus or probiotic products. Just click on the following links. Digestive aid products - click here. Acidophilus/Probiotics - click here.
