HOW TO SURVIVE YOUR DOCTOR: PANCREATIC CANCER AND PANCREATITIS
Pancreatic Cancer
Cancer of the pancreas starts silently and presents late. 50 per cent of people with correctly diagnosed pancreatic cancer die within six months.
Home Remedies
Cancer of the pancreas can cluster within families. The significance of this fact is not clear. As yet there are no routine screening procedures to detect this form of cancer in its early stages.
Pancreatitis
The pancreas is the birthplace of digestive enzymes. When these digestive enzymes are prematurely activated within the pancreas, the organ begins to digest itself. The incredible pain caused by this process of self destruction is part of the picture of pancreatitis. Two other manifestations of acute pancreatitis are nausea and vomiting. Sometimes the pain radiates from the left upper abdominal quadrant right through to the back.
The cause of pancreatitis is not known. One third of cases relate to an excess consumption of alcohol. Another third of cases relate to gall bladder disease, whilst the final third of cases demonstrates no relations at all. The hard and fast medical response to pancreatitis has always been to insert a nasogastric tube, starve the patient and administer narcotics and antinauseants via an intravenous drip.
Home Remedies
If you suffer from pancreatitis don't drink alcohol. Pancreatitis and alcohol go together like fire and gasoline. People working in the dry cleaning industry must protect themselves from solvent fumes. There are recorded cases of pancreatitis in association with the inhalation of Trichloroethane.
