One-third of all cancers are curable. That means you can beat the disease with early detection and treatment. To do this, you should be aware of the early signs and symptoms of cancer. These are the following:
A change in bowel or bladder habits.
A sore throat that does not heal.
Unusual bleeding or discharge.
Thickening or lumps in the breast or elsewhere.
Indigestion or difficulty in swallowing.
An obvious change in a wart or mole.
A nagging cough or hoarseness.
Unexplained anemia.
If you have any of these symptoms, don't be afraid. See a doctor or cancer specialist immediately. Early detection and prompt action by a physician can help you beat cancer. Delaying your visit to the doctor because of your fear of getting cancer will only make matters worse. As the American Cancer Society says:
“A fear of cancer can prevent you from detecting cancer at an early stage. A stage when it is highly curable. Everyone's afraid of cancer, but don’t let it scare you to death.”
Cancer can strike anyone. It can occur anywhere. But the most common types are cancer of the lung, breast, cervix, and colon.
The National Cancer Institute estimates that 215,020 men and women (114,690 men and 100,330 women) will be diagnosed with and 161,840 men and women will die of cancer of the lung this year.
"Pulmonary cancer accounts for more than 120,000 deaths every year, and is the most common cause of death from malignancy in both sexes. The cure rate is low even under the best of circumstances, and the level of suffering is high," said Dr. Isadore Rosenfeld of the New York Hospital - Memorial Bloan-Kettering Cancer Center in “The Best Treatment.”
Lung cancer is common in the 45 to 70 age group and is often seen in urban areas. Cigarette smoking is responsible for about 90 percent of cancer cases among men and 79 percent among women.
A person who smokes more than one pack of cigarettes a day has a 20 times greater risk of lung cancer than a nonsmoker. If you smoke two or more packs daily for 20 years, your chances of acquiring lung cancer increases from 60 to 70 percent. (Next: How cigarettes cause cancer.)

Warning Signs of Cancer

Your Must-Know Guide........
Early prostate cancer is confined to the prostate gland itself; most of the patients with this type of cancer can live for years without any problems. Men have traditionally been less likely to seek medical attention than women, especially for minor problems which often serve as warning signs for more serious underlying illness. The second leading cause of cancer deaths among men in the U.S. is from prostate cancer.
Like other cancers, the cause of prostate cancer is not known; it appears to be more common in African American men and men with a family history of the disease. Prostate cancer is simply a malignant tumor of the prostate gland. In most men, prostate cancer grows very slowly; most men will never even know they have the condition.
Most prostate cancer symptoms, although associated with prostate cancer, are more likely to be connected to non-cancerous conditions. There are other symptoms that may not be mentioned here. Blood in the urine or semen and frequent pain or stiffness in the lower back, hips, or upper thighs can be symptoms of cancer.
Weak or interrupted flow of urine and painful or burning urination can be symptoms to watch out for. One of the most common symptoms is the inability to urinate, get checked right away. If cancer is caught at its earliest stages, most men will not experience any symptoms.
A urinalysis may indicate if there is blood in the urine, which may or may not be related. A chest x-ray may be done to see if there's a spread of cancer. CT scans may be done to see if the cancer has metastasized (spread).
There is a newer test called AMACR that is more sensitive than the PSA test for determining the presence of prostate cancer. Another test usually used when prostate cancer symptoms are present is a digital rectal exam (DRE) performed by the doctor, proctologist or oncologist. A PSA test with a high level can also be from a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland.
Medications can have many side effects, including hot flashes and loss of sexual desire. Surgery, radiation therapy, and hormonal therapy can interfere with libido on a temporary or permanent basis. Thoroughly discuss all your treatment options and concerns with your doctor and other health professionals; it never hurts to get a second or even third opinion or more if necessary - don't be afraid to ask.
Be aware that some men chose natural treatment options and forgo any surgery, radiation or chemotherapy. Urinary incontinence can be one of the possible complications of surgery. The conventional treatment of prostate cancer is often controversial.
Hormone manipulation is mainly used as a treatment to relieve symptoms in men whose cancer has metastasized (spread). In patients whose health makes the risk of surgery unacceptably high, radiation therapy is often the chosen conventional alternative. Some drugs with numerous side effects are being used to treat advanced prostate cancer, blocking the production of testosterone, called chemical castration; it has the same result as surgical removal of the testes.
An oncologist, a cancer specialist, will usually recommend treating with a single drug or a combination of drugs. Anyone considering surgery should be aware of the benefits, risks and the extent of the procedure. Medicines can be used to adjust the levels of testosterone; called hormonal manipulation.
For an easy fiber boost, mix in two tablespoons of ground up flaxseeds in raw applesauce, from 2-3 apples, made in your food processor. Consider taking cod liver oil or fish oil supplements every day. For natural treatment for the prostate make an appointment with a naturopathic doctor, called a naturopath; ask around for referrals.
Making a ginger tea, by adding a thin slice or two of fresh gingerroot to hot water, is helpful to many people I know. Supplements that help any disease or ailment include vitamin B12 -- the methylcobalamin type not cyanocobalamin, and sub-lingual -- dissolves slowly under the tongue; and vitamin D3 - especially if you can't get a daily dose of 15 to 20 minutes of sun on your arms and legs so you can make your own vitamin D3. Use flaxseed oil or walnut oil in your daily dark green salad.
Make smoothies with fruit only, using a base of two bananas, adding a cup of frozen or fresh blueberries and mango chunks or substitute any other fruit and add an energy boost of two tablespoons of coconut oil; add one or two leaves of kale for another highly nutritional boost. Eat at least one, preferably two organic apples with the skin on every day. Make highly nutritious raw applesauce using a food processor and put in 3-4 cored pesticide-free apples, with the skin on, and mix for a minute; so much better for you than canned highly processed applesauce and add 1/4 tsp. cinnamon or two tablespoons of freshly ground flaxseed for another boost.
Evidence indicates that many patients detect cancer at an earlier stage because of annual screening, so make sure to get a good exam. Just about all men with prostate cancer survive at least five years after their diagnosis, 93% survive at least 10 years, and 67% survive more than 15 years. Once diagnosed you may be want to join a support group whose members share their experiences and problems.

Cancerous Gynecologic Abnormalities In Women
Cancerous gynecologic abnormalities are life-threatening illnesses characterized by uncontrollable enlargement and rapid spread of malignant cells developing in an organ or a part of a women’s reproductive system.
The seven major gynecologic cancers are cervical, tubal, ovarian, uterine, peritoneal, vaginal, and vulvar.
Cervical Cancer
A woman’s cervix connects the vaginal opening to the uterus. Cervical cancer is a type of cancer that originates in the cervix. The symptoms of vaginal cancer include the following:
Bleeding even if not in the menstrual period. Also, bleeding after intercourse and bleeding even after menopause.
Vaginal discharge that is heavy, thick, and with color
Pain in the pelvic area
Pain during intercourse
Fallopian Tube or Tubal Cancer
The fallopian tubes connect the uterus to the ovaries. Cancer that originates here is called fallopian tube cancer, also known as tubal cancer. The symptoms of fallopian tube cancer are a mass in the pelvic area, pain and pressure in the abdomen, vaginal discharge that looks white or pinkish, and heavy bleeding even after menopause and in between menstrual cycles.
Ovarian Cancer
The ovaries in a woman’s reproductive system produce the eggs also called ova. The cancer that originates in the ovaries is called ovarian cancer. Symptoms of ovarian cancer are sudden weight gain or loss, weight gain at the abdomen, bloating of the abdomen, chronic fatigue, back pain, and pain during sexual intercourse.
Uterine Cancer
A woman’s uterus, which is also called the womb, is the organ where the baby develops until birth. Cancer that originates from this part of a woman’s reproductive system is called uterine cancer. The most common type of uterine cancer is called endometrial cancer. Endometrial cancer usually originates in the endometrial glands found in the inner wall of the uterine cavity. The symptoms of endometrial cancer are pain in the pelvis, painful sexual intercourse, and pain during urination.
Peritoneal Cancer
Peritoneum is the thin, fragile sheet that outlines the wall of the abdomen covering the rectum, bladder, and uterus. The cancer originating in the peritoneum is called peritoneal cancer. The symptoms of peritoneal cancer are discomfort and pain in the abdomen, lack of appetite, feeling of fullness even after just a light meal, constipation, nausea, bleeding, and weight gain or loss.
Vaginal Cancer
The vagina, also called the birth canal, is an elastic and narrow channel that is 2 to 4 inches long extending from outside a woman’s body to the cervix. The cancer that originates from the vagina is called vaginal cancer. The symptoms are vaginal discharge, bleeding of the vagina, lesion in the vagina, and pain during sexual intercourse.
Vulvar Cancer
The vulva is found in the external genitalia of a woman. The parts of the vulva are Bartholin’s glands, clitoris, and labia. Cancer that originates from the vulva is called vulvar cancer. The symptoms of vulvar cancer include persistent itching of the vulva, vulvar pain that cannot be explained, vulvar bleeding, mass or lump in the vulva, a sore in the vulva that does not heal, and chronic burning of the vulva.

Possible Treatments For Peritoneal Mesothelioma
The Mesothelioma cancer that affects your abdominal
cavity is precisely known as the Peritoneal Mesothelioma cancer or Abdominal Mesothelioma cancer. Peritoneum is basically the envelope that covers your abdominal region including the intestines and the stomach. The
cancerous cells initially grow in this region and then affect the abdomen directly. The person suffering from the peritoneal cancer will never get well because no possible treatment can yet recover him completely. You cannot apprehend the death's approach. It may come anytime.
How does the asbestos dust get into the body?
According to the Medical Science there are two probably ways for the asbestos dust to get inside your abdominal outline of Mesothelium or peritoneum. The first process is related to ingestion that happens when a person works in a surrounding filled with asbestos dust for a long period. Also through the process of respiration, asbestos dust reaches your lungs and from that location through the lymph nodes the dust passes down to the abdominal lining.
Conventional treatment procedures
Surgical method of treatment is applied when tumors have grown around the peritoneum. Otherwise the radiation therapy is very helpful in removing the cancerous cells and keeping your body out of pain.
Another important treatment procedure is chemotherapy. Here the medicine called anti-carcinogen is directly inserted in the body with the help of the needle to kill the cancerous cells. But chemotherapy has an effect on the healthy cells too.
Modern treatment procedures
In the recent times a few other cancer treatments have been researched and they are being widely used even in treating Peritoneal Mesothelioma. The new therapeutic technique known as the Intraopeartive Photodynamic therapy has a promising side to heal the cancer patient quicker and with positive effects. The therapy is done through some special kind of drugs and by using light rays to destroy the cells affected by cancer.
Another such modern therapy to heal the cancer patient is popularly known as the Immunotherapy. Here the whole emphasis is put on the enhancing of the body's immunity so that the bosy can make its own resistance against the spreading of the cancer cells.
The third new treatment method is the gene therapy where a genetic reformation is being brought up to make corrections in those genes that are leading to the spread of Mesothelioma in the body.
All these novel treatment procedures are giving better results but still the ultimate curable treatment has to be researched.

Primary Peritoneal Cancer Prognosis -What Now?
A cancer diagnosis is devastating. A stage IV cancer diagnosis is even worse. Primary Peritoneal Cancer Prognosis is not great but it is manageable. This cancer mimics ovarian cancer in that few symptoms show up until it is quite advanced. Standard treatments include surgery and chemotherapy.
There are other forms cancer that seem to hide or be misdiagnosed until they are very advanced. One is GIST-Gastro Intestinal Stroma tumor. Just a few years ago, a diagnosis of this stomach lining tumor was enough to start making funeral arrangements. But that is not the case now. Thanks to advances in research and actually separating this type of tumor from other cancers that were all lumped into the stomach cancer category, a diagnosis of GIST is no more an immediate death sentence.
A couple of drugs on the market have made a big difference. One is called Gleevec and the other is called Sutent. Gleevec is usually the first line of defense. This drug is a protein inhibitor that attacks the tumor and shrinks it. It has a 70% success rate which is unheard of for most kinds of cancer.
Interestingly, it was initially used in the treatment of leukemia and was used by a doctor as a last ditch effort for a patient who was dying of GIST. It is now standard protocol for GIST treatment.
Gleevec is not without its side effects but most are manageable. One of them is short term memory loss. That's not a big deal to you are in line at the post office and can't remember where the package your are mailing is supposed to go.
Primary peritoneal cancer prognosis will also be more favorable as other drugs are developed for treatment of this specific type of Cancer. Research is ongoing and breakthroughs are being made all the time.

Don't Get Cancer
cancer cannot take hold in a healthy immune system
The World Health Organisation (W.H.O.) is promoting prevention as a better option than treatment and particularly targeting smoking as the highest recogniseable risk area. The Cancer Research Institute (C.R.I.) is seeking vaccines that support the body's own ability to heal. Alternative and holistic approaches seek to do the same with diet, nutrition, lifestyle and other choices.
Different philosophies of medicine achieve 'immune support' in various ways not considered by orthodox Western medicine, which concentrates mainly on 'drugs and surgery' as an afterthought to disease, often just adding more toxins and stress to an overloaded system. Alternative treatments take many forms to support the body in its own healing process.
Although we have constant new biological treatments promised, they usually only apply to a small percentage of cancer types. Change in this field is agonisingly slow and in some cases utterly stuck. Medical science is failing to adapt to the new 'quantum theory' sciences that see the human body from an energy or 'vibrational' perspective. Western 'allopathic' medicine continues to refuse integration with other, older medical philosophies such as Chinese, Ayurvedic, Tibetan, Homeopathy, Herbalism or vibrational treatment.
In truth we don't even have a research methodology that will cope with assessing different treatment forms and levels tuned to an individual patient. So far it is much easier for the orthodox to just deny the effectiveness of alternative ways of healing because they do not make rational scientific sense, than it is to extend their model to include other healing models. The fiscal interest of pharmaceutical companies is also a factor in our lack of access to holistic treatments
The complex cancer situation effects us all directly. One in three people in the 'West' now gets cancer at some point. Many factors are combining to aggravate acute degenerative disorders such as cancer or heart disease, the two top killers in the Western World. These expose the unwary to dangers and this includes the toxic side-effects of allopathic treatments - it is emerging that the third biggest killer may be 'allopathic medicine' itself !
The Cancer Research Industry
Research shows that in UK every year somewhere between £450 to £500 million is spent on cancer research by the pharmaceutical industries, charitable organisations and government. In US an estimated $14 billion dollars (£7.72 billion) are spent. A hard-hitting report published in March 2004 by Fortune, an American business magazine and written by Cliff Leaf, himself a cancer survivor, suggests that for several reasons much of this funding and research is misdirected. He claims that despite a total of $200 billion spent on cancer research since 1971 that mortality rates are basically unchanged. The report was all but ignored by mainstream media.
What if he's right? What is much of this money is wasted? What if the research is misdirected? What if much of the work serves no real purpose beyond the generation of profit? That would mean that the cancer research industry is one of the biggest bandwagons ever. Despite many more billions spent world-wide on cancer research there seems very little to show for it. After seeing friends and family cut down in their prime by cancer, and its allopathic treatments, this researcher believes that there is something seriously wrong with accepted wisdom on cancer treatment. The author's local health authority has a twelve million pound overspend this year - the major expenditure? The cost of cancer drugs. Several situations are combining to make cancer a big risk for us all at this time, despite the hard work of many dedicated health service professionals.
Cancer and Orthodox Medical Science
Although medical science has created miracles in dealing with infectious diseases, solving many of the medical problems of the 1940's and 50's, the new weapons against acute degenerative disorders are not yet ready. Genetic testing and counselling, gene therapy, nutrigenomics, advanced (subtle and tuned) radiotherapies, cell therapies, therapuetic cloning, cancer vaccines and even anti-aging therapies are a seemingly constant 10 - 15 years away. This is the 21st century and we are still getting 20th century treatments. This leaves us at the moment in a time of high cancer risk with treatments that are often the medical equivalent of cracking a nut with a sledgehammer. The orthodox treatment of cancer is too often as dangerous as the disease itself.
Alternative treatments for cancer are not given a fair hearing. Information is still actively repressed or marginalised from many sources. The subject of Cancer and alternative treatment must be the original can of worms! Its never a good time to get cancer but there are more options than you might think or even be advised from orthodox treatment centres. For example there are many things one can do to supplement (and ease) orthodox treatments with complementary ones. It is unlikely you will be given information on this unless you seek it out yourself.
Although much research on alternatives is often suppressed there are people who can guide you through the minefield of misinformation, disinformation, ignorance, applied self-interest, politics and other complexities in the field of cancer, whatever choices you make. Support is a central issue in any disease and there are increasing options here with many groups 'online' helping each other with a variety of treatment forms.
An Integrated Approach to Cancer
The cancer discussion needs opening towards a more integrated medicine that is centred on the patient, but even this discussion is presently marginalised. People are finding each other online and comparing notes, even the drug manufacturing industries are predicting that 'patient advocacy' forms a strong part of future medicine. But for true patient advocacy to happen, medical consumers presently need to be at least as, if not better informed than their medical doctors.
There are many options in cancer treatment that are not generally discussed through orthodox medicine. For example group therapy is not widely prescribed or accessible for cancer patients despite the fact that studies show it can actually double survival time. There is mounting evidence of the validity of herbal and nutritional regimes that support the immune system and may complement the sledgehammers of traditional, orthodox treatment, chemo and radiotherapy.
Sometimes complementary therapies are allowed with orthodox treatment but are still limited to only accepted medical philosophies - or that which can be measured through double-blind testing methodologies that basically view every person as the same. The different philosophies of 'medicalism' and 'holism' - which puts people central to their treatment - are still far apart. This is not a situation that is in any way advantageous for those of us who become patients.
Alternative approaches are viewed at best as unproven and are unresearchable using 'quantitative research methodologies'. There are many people wanting a more integrated approach to health care than the drugs and surgery promoted by orthodox allopathic medicine. This is shown by the huge number of people who seek complementary and alternative medicines without the knowledge of their doctors. The main research into treatments that address every aspect of disease and patient still takes place in secret because practices that fall outside of standard medical practice and physicians who offer unconventional cancer treatments may be vulnerable to the civil charge of malpractice. Given the modern quantum sciences and other feasible medical models such as those mentioned there are many more realistic options for treatment than we are presently being offered.
It is easy to be overwhelmed in this field, different people giving different information, which you may need to find, understand and act upon, often 'against the clock'. What is needed is an overview that presents comprehensive information from wide sources in an objective manner.

Mesothelioma Class Action Lawsuits
Asbestos Exposure and Mesothelioma Class Action Lawsuits
Asbestos exposure has been associated with causing a type of cancer called 'Mesothelioma.' This is a rare cancer that results in covering a number of the body's internal organs. The most common area for this cancer is on the outer lining of the lungs and the internal chest wall. It also occurs in the lining of the abdominal cavity and the heart. The cancer generally causes the victim to suffer from a shortness of breath along with chest pain and weight loss. Many people have joined together in a class action lawsuit hoping to receive enough money to cover their medical care.
People joining in a mesothelioma class action law suit agree to a settlement and, in so doing, agree there will not be any further compensation. A victim agrees to accept whatever compensation the class action lawyer(s) is able to negotiate. Before a person joins a class action lawsuit the diagnosis of mesothelioma must be fully verified by an oncologist. The patient of the doctor should ask to have all of the paperwork completed that is needed for the lawsuit. There are times when the oncologist might refuse to complete the forms and other paperwork. If this happens then the patient should seek the assistance from another oncologist.
You need to do your homework before making a decision regarding a lawsuit. You should read the 'Asbestos News' which provides a vast amount of information to people suffering from mesothelioma. You will also learn about your legal rights by reading the 'Asbestos News.' Here you will also find a listing of attorneys who are in the process of conducting class action lawsuits.
Once you have your the oncologist's documentation it is important for you to determine if you want to join the class action lawsuit; or, you might choose to bring a lawsuit as an individual. However, the victim must make a choice as s/he cannot sue as an individual and also be a member of a class action lawsuit.
The next important step for the victim is to study and understand how the lawsuit process will work. A good location, which offers a lot of information, can be found at www.asbestos.com when you will find nearly all of the information you seek. This site is completely devoted to the mesothelioma legalities. The site also provides a list of lawyers, in different states, who are in the process of conducting class action lawsuits.
Once you determine you want to begin a lawsuit you need to choose the law firm of your choice. You will now need to be specific as to if you want to sue as an individual or join a class action lawsuit. Your attorney will require the records from your oncologist, records from your job, and additional information.

Asbestos Exposure Threatens Schools
Asbestos contamination has led to several temporary closures of schools and prisons nationwide in the last year, causing many to be concerned about the health and safety of those who have spent time within the walls of these American institutions.
Asbestos can cause a slew of dangerous health problems, including mesothelioma, a rare but deadly form of lung cancer. Even the slightest exposure can have life-long and debilitating side effects far into the future. Furthermore, it is often difficult to pin-point the initial exposure. Because mesothelioma and other health problems can take upwards of 30 to 40 years to manifest, protecting individuals from asbestos is necessary and vital.
The mesothelioma and other side effects of asbestos exposure are easy to prevent, which has caused an insurgence of mesothelioma lawsuits as more asbestos contaminants have been discovered in schools, prisons and other highly trafficked buildings.
The most recent school closure outside of Boulder, Colo. resulted in a school-wide evacuation and class cancellation until the risk could be evaluated. Niwot High School was undergoing a $20 million renovation when the suspected asbestos was found in the locker room.
Asbestos was commonly used in the construction of older buildings before it was outlawed, however it is often not discovered until costly renovations years later. Removal is a time-consuming and costly process that should only be conducted by a license professional to avoid exposure. Due to the expense, many school districts, including a school district in Ohio, have requested additional assistance to pay for the costs to remove the substance. The costly renovations, many of which already have taxpayer approval, are unable to find the additional funds necessary to deal with the asbestos.
As illustrated by the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center, demolition of asbestos-contaminated buildings can cause those involved to suffer from the after effects. Many lawsuits and health-related problems have been reported among the emergency personnel who responded, dubbing the side effects as the "World Trade Center Cough." Lung function has not improved for many of the EMTs and firefighters who responded, which has led many to believe that the toxic Ground Zero dust contained asbestos fibers and debris. Although more research is needed to determine the life-long effects, it is clear that controlled asbestos removal is a vital precaution.
Luckily, many of the school and prison closures have been temporary, with limited if any exposure to students and staff. However, those who feel they have been exposed, or who have felt the side effects of asbestos exposure should contact a mesothelioma attorney to discuss the possibility of a mesothelioma lawsuit.

Ways to Find the Best Physical Therapist
When a person is suffering from any physical pain or disability, the need for a therapist is indispensable. Any person might need a physical therapist. In the absence of adequate supervision, the pain will not go away. Many times, proper functioning of that affected part of the body is hindered due to this lack of supervision. In other cases like physical fitness training including aerobics or Pilates, a trained instructor is essential and necessary pre requisite. Healthcare is no longer limited to treatment of injuries and includes in its ambit the promotion and maintenance of bodily fitness.
Finding a Qualified Person with Physical Therapist Training is Very Necessary
The restoration of functioning in victims of accidents requires a good therapist who can effectively work with the patient. Only a person with proper physical therapist training should be chosen. A person who has been certified as a neuromuscular physical therapist or possesses a higher diploma in Neuromuscular therapy is considered to be duly qualified. Such certificate or diploma allows them to pursue conventional bodywork practice. They can provide an advanced form of intervention to those who suffer from chronic muscle or nerve pain.
A sports injury requires a person who is in possession of a certificate which has been acquired after perusal of Sports Massage Courses.
If you suffer from any sports related injury or pain, it can be effectively managed by a therapist. Only a person who has been trained in massage courses should be preferred. Many courses offer certificate in therapy. Those who successfully complete it, become qualified as sports massage therapists. Once these sports massage courses are successfully completed by the person concerned, the practitioner is qualified for muscular and soft tissue intervention. Sporting teams, injury clinics and sports complexes employ therapists only after they are in possession of such a certificate or a higher diploma.
Does your instructor have adequate Pilates Training?
As health related fitness is growing, there is a dearth of professionals in the field. Aerobics, yoga and Pilates are increasingly popular in maintenance and promotion of overall fitness. The complete and effective completion of pilates courses are necessary in becoming a qualified instructor.
Pilates Teacher Training is a Must for your Instructor
Your instructor should possess a minimum certificate in pilates training. This helps in ensuring that he has all the requisite knowledge. It ensures your protection from any danger which is inherent in untrained instruction. The overall fitness of anyone who performs pilates can not only improve his fitness, but also contribute towards enhancement of bodily and muscular functions. The instructor who helps you with the routine should have pilates teacher training. In absence of this, it is preferable to not choose him.
As the need of physical therapists increases, so does the necessity of having qualified professionals. One who is trained in dealing with muscular pain and injury should be the preferred and sole choice. In insisting on this qualification, you can be assured of the fact that the provider of therapy is competent and armed with the necessary knowledge.

Mention the phrase laser hair removal and the uninitiated will imagine James Bond type lasers that can destroy not only individual hairs but probably small countries as well. We're naturally frightened of lasers - after all, they were originally developed for the military! But laser hair removal has been an approved method of
permanent hair removal since 1995 and is growing in popularity. In 1998 there were an estimated 110,000 laser hair removal procedures in the USA. In 2009 that number had gone up to 1.4 million, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. That's 1.4 million people who, if laser hair removal really wasn't safe, took one hell of a risk. And they all seem to be fine...
The truth is that laser hair removal is a safe, painless and far more efficient method of permanent hair removal than waxing or shaving. As people come to accept it as a method of treatment, laser hair removal clinics are springing up all over the country. In the US, the industry was worth an estimated $7-9billion last year and hundreds of thousands of people in the UK are now embracing this high-tech hair removal technique as happily as they have embraced other beauty treatments such as Botox. The desire to emulate our Hollywood icons has encouraged even the most timid of clientele to take their first tentative steps into 21st Century beauty treatment.
In the hands of a professional, laser hair removal is a simple procedure that doesn't even require any form of anaesthetic beforehand. However, for delicate areas they may use a gel that will reduce the redness and slight stinging sensation that laser treatment can sometimes produce. The sensation has been likened to being 'pinged' with a rubber band - quite tolerable for the vast majority of people. But the key phrase there is 'in the hands of a professional'. Treatment should never be attempted at home using 'home laser treatment' kits that you can find on some of the less salubrious websites on the Internet. The vast majority of scare stories surrounding laser hair removal are the result of botched attempts by inexperienced and untrained people trying to save themselves a few pounds by employing a DIY approach. It is imperative that you talk to a professional who is highly trained and experienced in the use of lasers. They will be able to tell you first and foremost if your skin is suitable for the treatment and then use the correct equipment according to the type of treatment you want.
The Food and Drug Administration in the USA have approved laser hair removal and in the UK it is carefully monitored by the Health and Safety Executive. You always have the option of seeking a second opinion or an alternative practitioner if you do not feel comfortable with the clinic you go to first. Throughout the entire process you will be awake and constantly monitored by your clinician, so you remain in control of the situation.
The results speak for themselves. No more waxing, shaving or coping with messy hair removal creams, laser hair removal offers you a safe and painless method of permanent hair removal. Although it may initially cost you a little more, in the long term it also offers a very cost effective way of maintaining smooth, stubble-free skin. more info: www.forums-cancer.blogspot.com
