Bowel Cancer. Is There
A Cure For Bowel Cancer?
Bowel Cancer
affects the large bowel and the rectum, which are the lower
parts of our digestive system. The exact cause of colorectal
cancer is unknown but people who have a family history of the
disease come under the high risk category of developing bowel
cancer.
Bowel Cancer is becoming more and more common
as years are passing by the number of patients with this type
of cancer increasing rapidly and it does not matter whether the
patent is young or old or whether you are a women or a
man.
Colorectal
cancer can be detected at an early stage by monitoring
stools, and especially by keeping vigilant for bleeding
during defecation.
In cases
of early bowel cancer, bright red blood drips are seen
after defecation rather than at the same time. In any
case, if you suspect the beginning of bowel cancer, you
must get yourself checked thoroughly by your doctor as
soon as possible.
Citrus
fruits and dark green leafy vegetables such as spinach,
spring greens, green peppers, and broccoli can help combat
and prevent bowel cancer. In addition, deep orange-yellow
fruit and vegetables, such as carrots, peaches, oranges, and
bananas are also helpful.
A capsule
based on pure concentrated fish oils, omega-3 fatty
acids, can help prevent bowel
cancer.
In
a British study, 80% of patients given the super omega-3
capsules had a reduced risk of developing the
disease
The
patients were given a highly purified form of Omega-3 oil,
which can effect changes in cells known to cause bowel
cancer.
Participants had an increased risk of the
cancer because they were prone to developing polyps, tiny
growth cells in the bowel that can turn
cancerous.
The
research team, led by bowel cancer surgeon Roger Leicester at
St Georges Hospital in South London, showed that the
consumption of purified fish-oil in capsule form restored cell
production to normal
levels.
The capsules
contain a pure estrified form of Omega-3 oils called
eicosapentaenoic acid
(EPA).
Said
Doctor leicester
“These results are very exciting, we showed that this
particular very pure concentrated form of fish oil could affect
the abnormal cell activity and production of
polyps.”
St Georges
researchers are planning more trials to see if the oil
can reverse or prevent the production of
polyps.
Studies
have already shown that people who eat meat regularly
have a higher risk of bowel cancer than fish eaters and
vegetarians.
Research
also shows that a diet high in olive oil protects against
bowel cancer.
Doctor
Leicester said that any fish diet, but particularly oily
fish, which are high in Omega-3`s, will help
prevention.
“We think fish-oil
capsules could eventually be given as a preventative
treatment against cancer.”
Another trial that brings further credence to
the benefits of Omega-3
is:
30
patients who had had bowel polyps took part in a 3-month trial.
Samples of the colon lining were taken and examined at the
start.
They were randomly given Omega 3 oil capsules
or no treatment and then at the end of the trial, further
samples were taken.
In the
group who had taken the oil, it was found that their cell
generation rate had fallen by nearly 25% - so they were
producing a lot less cells in their
bowel.
The
rate at which cells had died had increased by over 100% -
resulting in fewer cells
again.
The levels
of the fatty acids in the cells were doubled -indicating
that the Omega 3s play a part in cell
regeneration.
