A seizure can be a frightening experience, both for the person having the seizure as well as for anyone witnessing someone who may be convulsing or losing consciousness. About 60 percent of brain tumor patients will experience a seizure at least once during their illness. And for many, a seizure is their first brain tumor symptom.
According to the American Epilepsy Outreach Foundation, it is important to remember the 4Cs of seizure safety:
Cancer cells in rapidly growing brain tumors must adjust to periods of low energy or die. When energy levels are high, tumor cells grow and proliferate. When levels are low, the cells grow less and migrate more.
Researchers at the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center-Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute have discovered the switch responsible for this grow-or-go behavior.
Taking vitamins and eating right is very empowering for me. Each time I do I feel as if I am fueling my immune system to fight off anything that wants to attack my body. It helps to keep me strong.
I recently starting taking Purity12 Rain Juice. Drinking this juice is like powering up my body with a strong nutritional gift. Packed with antioxidants, I know I’m supporting my body with healthy nutritional support to get me through a busy day. I still make sure I eat my five fruits and veggies each day, but Purity12 Rain juice gives me the added boost of more fruits than I could take in one day such as acai, pomegranate, blueberry, raspberry and much more. I have a level of energy and vitality that keeps me moving forward.
Five simple tips to keep your “human engine” humming along everyday!
I’ve often wondered why we seem to care more about the quality of the fuel we use to get the best performance from our cars, and less about the quality of nutritional “fuel” we eat to get the best performance from our bodies, our “human engine”!
Most of us wouldn’t dream of pumping gas into our valuable cars with anything less than the manufacturer recommended fuel octane level. Some pump a higher level to obtain even better engine performance. Car handbooks warn us that we risk inflicting serious damage to the engine if we select the wrong type of fuel. My vehicle handbook warns me that I risk losing the warranty coverage if I fail to properly maintain my vehicle according to the specified maintenance requirements.
After I was diagnosed with cancer, I entered a world that was unfamiliar to me. I quickly discovered cancer treatment systems were large and complex. Many different kinds of health care facilities and institutions are involved, and the system is populated by a bewildering array of professionals.
Many times I felt that I was being processed, moved from one professional to another for tests and procedures I didn’t always understand. So many times I had to repeat the same information about my condition over and over again. There were moments when I couldn’t help but feel frustrated, angry, and alone.

Let your body speak it’s mind!
During the first few days after receiving my diagnosis of a brain tumor a good friend visited me in the hospital bearing a gift. He knew know how much I loved to read and his gift was the book “It’s not about the Bike” By Lance Armstrong. I had been feeling quite depressed and my mind was certainly full of fear about my health. To take my mind off my own sad circumstances, I plunged into the book and devoured each chapter. The more I read, the more I became inspired by this remarkable man. By the time I finished the book, I knew that I had to turn my thinking around and adopt a similar, positive, relentless attitude towards my own battle with cancer.

Finding the right skin care routine starts with understanding the unique needs of your skin type. For example, people with dry skin can benefit from applying moisturizer several times a day; whereas, those with oily skin might need to apply a lightweight moisturizer only once a day, if at all. Customization is key, and dermatologists can help people of all ages and skin types select products based on their individual skin care needs.
