Skin Cancer

Overview

Cancer is not a single disease with a single cause and a single type of treatment. There are more than 200 different types of cancer, each with its own name and treatment. Although cells in different parts of the body may look and work differently, most repair and reproduce themselves in the same way. Normally, cells divide in an orderly and controlled way. But if for some reason the process gets out of control, the cells carry on dividing and develop into a lump called a tumor. Tumors are either benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Doctors can tell if a tumor is benign or malignant by removing a piece of tissue (biopsy) and examining a small sample of cells under a microscope.

In a benign tumor the cells do not spread to other parts of the body and so are not cancerous. However, they may carry on growing at the original site, and may cause a problem by pressing on surrounding organs.

In a malignant tumor the cancer cells have the ability to spread beyond the original area of the body. If the tumour is left untreated, it may spread into surrounding tissue. Sometimes cells break away from the original (primary) cancer. They may spread to other organs in the body through the bloodstream or lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is part of the immune system – the body’s natural defense against infection and disease. It’s made up of organs such as bone marrow, the thymus, the spleen, and lymph nodes. The lymph nodes throughout the body are connected by a network of tiny lymphatic tubes (ducts). The lymphatic system has two main roles: it helps to protect the body from infection and it drains fluid from the tissues.

When the cancer cells reach a new area they may go on dividing and form a new tumor. This is known as a secondary cancer or a metastasis.

Non-melanoma skin cancer refers to a group of skin cancers that affect the upper layers of skin. The term ‘non-melanoma’ distinguishes these generally more common kinds of skin cancer from the less common, aggressive skin cancer known as melanoma.

Types of non-melanoma skin cancer:

Non-melanoma skin cancers are usually named after the type of skin cell from which they develop. The two most common types of non-melanoma skin cancer are:

  • basal cell carcinoma
  • squamous cell carcinoma

Other rarer types include:

  • Kaposi’s sarcoma
  • cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (also known as Mycosis fungoides)
  • Merkel cell cancer

The most significant risk factor for developing either basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma is overexposure to sunlight. The use of sunbeds and sunlamps can also increase your risk of developing non-melanoma skin cancer, as well as the most serious type of skin cancer, melanoma.

Non-melanoma skin cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in the world. There are an estimated 100,000 new cases of non-melanoma skin cancer every year in the UK. Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States. More than 3.5 million skin cancers in over two million people are diagnosed annually. In Canada it is estimated that 81,300 new cases of non-melanoma skin cancer will be diagnosed in 2012, while in Australia, two in three people will be diagnosed before the age of 70.

Basal cell carcinomas account for around 80% of all cases of skin cancer, and squamous cell carcinomas account for 10% of all cases.

The outlook for non-melanoma skin cancer is usually very good. Unlike most other types of cancer, there is a considerably lower risk that the cancer will spread to other parts of the body (known as metastasis).

It is estimated that basal cell carcinoma will spread to other parts of the body in less than 0.5% of cases. The risk is slightly higher in cases of squamous cell carcinoma, which spreads to other parts of the body in about 4% of cases.

Consult a licensed health practitioner immediately if you develop a bump, lesion or skin discolouration that shows no signs of healing after 14 days.

Basal Cell Carcinoma:

Basal cell carcinoma (or BCC for short) appears as a bump or discoloured patch of skin that does not heal. The bump or patch is a cancer. Sometimes this is referred to as a tumour, which just means lump but is often used as an alternative word for cancer. The bump is usually a pearly-white colour or ‘waxy’ looking and may contain visible blood vessels. The discoloured patch of skin is flat and scaly and can have either a flesh-coloured or brown appearance.

Basal cell carcinomas can grow to cover 10-15cm (4-6 inches) of skin. Both the bumps and discoloured skin patches can develop anywhere on your body, but they usually appear on parts of the body that have been exposed to the sun. Tumours usually develop on the face, ears and neck, while the discoloured skin patches usually develop on the chest and back. Basal cell carcinomas are usually painless, although they may itch or bleed.

Squamous Cell Carcinoma:

Squamous cell carcinoma (or SCC for short) appears as a firm red lump or a flat, scaly and crusted scab-like lesion that does not heal. These lumps or lesions are tumours. The lump or lesion (which just means something abnormal) usually appears on parts of the body exposed to the sun, such as the face, lips, ears, hands, arms and legs. Less commonly, they can develop inside the mouth, on the genitals or in the anus.

Sunlight:

The leading cause of all types of skin cancer – melanoma and non-melanoma – is exposure to sunlight. Sunlight contains ultraviolet (UV) light that can affect the skin. There are two main types of UV – ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB). Both UVA and UVB damage skin over time, making it more likely for skin cancers (including melanomas) to develop. Artificial sources of light, such as sunlamps and tanning beds, may also increase your risk of developing melanoma skin cancer

Repeated sunburn, either by the sun or artificial sources of light, will also make your skin more vulnerable to non-melanoma skin cancer.

Genetic Causes:

Research suggests that if you have two or more close relatives who have had non-melanoma skin cancer, your chances of developing the condition may be increased.

Risk Factors:

Risk factors for developing all types of skin cancer include having:

  • pale skin that does not tan easily
  • red or blonde hair
  • blue eyes
  • a large number of moles
  • a large number of freckles
  • an area of skin that has been previously damaged by burning or radiotherapy treatment
  • a condition that suppresses your immune system, such as HIV
  • medicines that suppress your immune system (immunosuppressants)

All these risk factors will make your skin more sensitive to the effects of the sun.

If you do the Jeff McCombs Candida Protocol you will already be avoiding all of the foods that trigger cancer.  However here are the foods to avoid at all costs.

  • Do not consume any artificial sweeteners, such as Splenda, NutraSweet or Aspartame
  • Do not consume high fructose corn syrup or mono-sodium glutamate.
  • Do not drink any carbonated beverages.
  • Avoid all fast food or chain restaurants and all processed food.
  • Avoid all canned food.
  • Eat mostly fresh, organic vegetables and fruits.

Avoid all foods that are high in unhealthy saturated and trans-fats, hydrogenated and partially-hydrogenated fats and oils, margarine, and shortening. Eliminate refined white flour, which is found in the majority of foods found on a typical grocery store shelf, including bread, bagels, crackers, cakes, cookies, and other baked good, pasta. Also avoid alcohol, caffeine, simple carbohydrates, sugars and sugar products, foods that are overly spicy, and all processed and commercial “junk” food. Stay clear of all inorganic pasteurized milk and dairy products, including yogurt and cheese; best to eat only raw, organic dairy products.

Empower yourself, and choose a diet emphasizing organic whole foods, including plenty of fresh, raw fruits and vegetables, oats, whole grains, such as brown rice, quinoa and buckwheat. Include a variety of preferably soaked, nuts and seeds, especially pumpkin and sunflower seeds. Minimize your intake of red meat; though be sure to consume adequate amounts of organic, free-range poultry, bison and wild-caught fish. Eat generous quantities of both raw and lightly steamed organic vegetables and large fresh salads daily. Preferably, cook with virgin coconut butter/oil and use extra virgin olive oil, high lignin flax seed oil and hemp seed oil as condiments on veggies and as the base for your daily salad dressing. Throughout the day, drink plenty of pure, filtered water, and avoid drinking—as well as bathing, and showering in—unfiltered tap water, as tap water contains heavy metals and pesticide residues that can settle in high concentrations in the body.

The raw food diet is a food plan that can be of great benefit if you suffer from skin cancer. Using the guidelines outlined above as a base camp for a clean and healthy diet, one can then transition into a raw food diet as desired. Raw food generates rapid results because of its ability to thoroughly detoxify and liberate your body’s previously untapped energy.

The diet mainly consists of raw fruits, vegetables, and soaked and sprouted nuts and seeds, supplemented with daily consumption of fresh green juices made from a variety of vegetables such as celery, romaine lettuce, spinach, carrot, kale, parsley, and an ever rotating seasonal selection of other organic veggies. Raw foodists enjoy salads, dehydrated flax crackers, seed and nut patés, blended soups, smoothies, and marinated veggies, often mixed with soaked sea vegetables. Since little to no cooked food is consumed, the raw diet has the advantage of instantly eliminating many common allergens. No cooked wheat or wheat by-products are consumed, and generally dairy is omitted, though some might choose to eat moderate quantities of raw goat or sheep milk products, often in the form of a fermented food, such as homemade raw kefir or yogurt.

Dr Gabriel Cousins, at the Tree of Life Center, endorses the raw food plan as the ultimate healing diet, and offers 100% raw food meals at his healing retreat in Patagonia, Arizona. An important note when choosing a raw food diet: there is an issue of trade-offs. You might miss cooked foods, though you will not miss cancer. More times than not the raw food diet presents itself as an incredible tool that can be used to quickly transition from a serious health challenge into a healing process, ultimately resulting in greater health and well-being.
