There are thousands of problems of chronic diseases such as heart disease, stroke, cancer, respiratory problems, diabetes etc. In very recent times, it is one of the leading causes of death.

Usually the disease and health status can be characterized under the general rubric of chronic disease. Most of is characterized by the victim composed large latency periods, injury functional or disability.

Fundamentally the diseases do not solve impulsively. It is a potentially fatal disease. And generally do not heal completely. Most of this persists in an individual through life, but is not always the reason for death.

Drinking over recommended limit 'raises cancer risk'

People drinking Many people do not know that drinking alcohol can increase their cancer risk.

Drinking more than a pint of beer a day can substantially increase the risk of some cancers, research suggests.

The Europe-wide study of 363,988 people reported in the British Medical Journal found one in 10 of all cancers in men and one in 33 in women were caused by past or current alcohol intake.

More than 18% of alcohol-related cancers in men and about 4% in women were linked to excessive drinking.

The Department of Health said it was taking action to reduce drinking.

Cancer charities say people should limit their drinking to lower the risk.

The study calculated that in 2008 current and past drinking habits were responsible for about 13,000 cancer cases in the UK, out of a total of 304,000 cases.

Previous research has shown a link between alcohol consumption and cancers of the oesophagus, liver, bowel and female breast.

When alcohol is broken down by the body it produces a chemical which can damage DNA, increasing the chance of developing cancer.

Glass too far

The latest research found that individuals who drank more than two standard drinks a day for men and one drink a day for women were particularly at risk of alcohol-related cancers.

Dr Kat Arney, Cancer Research UK: "The more you drink, the greater the risk"

A standard drink contains about 12g of alcohol, which is equivalent to a 125ml glass of wine or a half pint of beer.

Yet NHS guidelines are a little more relaxed, saying that men should drink no more than three to four units a day while women should not go above two to three units a day.

Of the cancers known to be linked to alcohol, the researchers suggest that 40% to 98% occurred in people who drank more than the recommended maximum.

The results were gathered as part of a study following 363,988 men and women in eight European countries aged between 35 and 70.

The European Prospective Investigation into Cancer study tracked their levels of drinking and how this affected their risk of cancer.

Researchers then looked at figures on how much people drank in each country, including the UK, taken from the World Health Organization.

The study focused on France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Greece, Germany, Denmark and the UK.

Madlen Schutze, lead researcher and study author, from the German Institute of Human Nutrition, said that many cancer cases could be avoided if alcohol consumption was limited.

"And even more cancer cases would be prevented if people reduced their alcohol intake to below recommended guidelines or stopped drinking alcohol at all," she said.

'Best data'

Cancer Research UK director of health information Sara Hiom said that many people did not know that drinking alcohol could increase their cancer risk.

"Start Quote

I think there will have to be some form of tougher regulation by government"

Professor Sir Ian Gilmore UK Alcohol Health Alliance

"In the last 10 years, mouth cancer has become much more common and one reason for this could be because of higher levels of drinking - as this study reflects.

"Along with being a non-smoker and keeping a healthy bodyweight, cutting back on alcohol is one of the most important ways of lowering your cancer risk."

Cancer Partners UK medical director Prof Karol Sikora said the message had to be "drink occasionally, but not regularly".

"This is the best data we've got and we're ever likely to get.

"The take-home message is that the more alcohol you drink, some of the common cancers - the four cancers that have been identified - do increase, and that's worrying. So the message has to be 'look at drinking habits, and reduce.'"

The Department of Health is set to publish an alcohol strategy in the summer.

Professor Sir Ian Gilmore, former president of the Royal College of Physicians and chairman of the UK Alcohol Health Alliance, called for tougher regulation to curb alcohol consumption.

He told the BBC: "It is yet another piece of evidence that really leads us to conclude that sitting back and waiting for people to change their habits, perhaps with voluntary partnerships with the drinks industry included in policies, will not bring about results.

"If we really want to see preventable deaths coming down in the next decade or so, I think there will have to be some form of tougher regulation by government."

It is expected to include plans to stop supermarkets selling cheap alcohol and tighten up licensing laws which were relaxed under the previous government.

Knowing Anti Cancer Plants

There are around 460 species of plants that can be used as herb for remedy, including plant healer various types of cancer.

Various types of anti-cancer plant are Zedoary (Curcuma zedoaria), Rodent Tuber (Typhonium flagelliforme), God’s Crown (Phaleria macrocarpa), Madagaskar Periwinkle (Catharanthus rosens), Artocarpus Integer (Selaginella corymbosa), Bamboo Grass (Loathatreum Gràcies) , handsome (Taraxacum mongolicum), fruit makasar (Brucca javanica), Garlic (Allium sativum), Echo China (Smilax china), Sunflower (Helianthus annus), Leunca (Solanum nigrum), Job’s Tears (Coix Lachryma-Jobi), Bamboo Rope (Asparagus cochinchinensis), and others.

So far, people still often have the wrong perception in assessing properties of tradisioanal plants. Among users of traditional crops which compassion is considered to consume traditional medicine, the patients will get recovery as well as the effect of modern drugs. In fact, the nature of traditional medicine is slowly improving the body's cells which are damaged (including cancer), which in time that cells can function normally again. Or in other words, the disease can be cured, but slowly. Therefore, users of traditional medicine should be patient.
Also keep in mind that there is also the proper dose of taking traditional medicine. If the dose is too small, the disease will be a long recovery, on the other hand, if too large, may harm the body. There are also medicinal plants that are poisonous, so there are plants that can only be consumed only thecertain parts (e.g. only the leaves, or roots or stems only). There are also plants that all the parts of them must be boiled. For that, they are still needed to be learnt.

For example, to reduce the growth of cancer cells, Zedoary dose containing curcumin and Ribosome in activating Proteiu are as follows:
Take 20 grams of zedoary and then washed with boiled water until 600cc left 300cc, then filtered and drunk the water.

While rodent tuber can clean the blood, the dose:
50 grams of fresh rodent tuber, then add 2 tablespoons of boiled water. Squeeze and strain, then drink the water 3 times a day. To remove an itch in the throat, can add honey for better taste.
Those are few examples of traditional plants that efficacious in curing cancer.
