Skin Cancer

by: Amy Otis, RN

Skin Cancer

Every year nearly
one million people in the United States learn that they have skin
cancer according to the National Cancer Institute. Skin cancer is
the most common type of cancer in the United States, Australia and
South Africa. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in both
men and women.

The two most common
kinds of skin cancer are basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma.
(Carcinoma is cancer that begins in the cells that cover or line an
organ.) Basal cell carcinoma accounts for more than 90 percent of
all skin cancers in the United States. It's a slow growing cancer
that seldom spreads to other parts of the body.

Squamous cell
carcinoma also rarely spreads, but it does more often than basal cell
carcinoma. It is important that skin cancers be found and treated
early because they can invade and destroy nearby tissue. Basal Cell
Carcinoma occurs from sun exposure and it occurs occurs many years
after exposure.

Another type of
cancer that occurs in the skin is melanoma, which begins in the melanocytes.

Cause
and Prevention

Although anyone
can get skin cancer, the risk is greatest for people who have fair
skin that freckles easily -- often those with red or blonde hair and
blue or light-colored eyes.

Ultraviolet (UV)
radiation from the sun is the main cause of skin cancer. (Two types
of ultraviolet radiation -- UVA and UVB. Artificial sources of UV
radiation, such as sun lamps and tanning booths, tanning beds can
also cause skin cancer.

The risk of developing
skin cancer is affected by where a person lives. People who live in
areas that get high levels of UV radiation from the sun are more likely
to get skin cancer. In the United States, for example, skin cancer
is more common in Texas than it is in Minnesota, where the sun is
not as strong. Worldwide, the highest rates of skin cancer are found
in South Africa and Australia, areas that receive high amounts of
UV radiation.

In addition, skin
cancer is related to lifetime exposure to UV radiation. Most skin
cancers appear after age 45, but the sun's damaging effects begin
at an early age. So, protection should start in childhood to prevent
skin cancer later in life.

Whenever possible,
people should avoid exposure to the midday sun (from 10 a.m. to 2
p.m. standard time, or from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. daylight saving time).
Keep in mind that protective clothing, such as sun hats and long sleeves,
can block out the sun's harmful rays. Also, lotions that contain sunscreens
can protect the skin. Sunscreens are rated in strength according to
a sun protection factor (SPF), which ranges from 2 to 30 or higher.
Those rated 15 to 30 block most of the sun's harmful rays.

Symptoms

The most common
warning sign of skin cancer is a change on the skin, especially a
new growth or a sore that doesn't heal. Skin cancers don't all look
the same. For example, the cancer may start as a small, smooth, shiny,
pale, or waxy lump. Or it can appear as a firm red lump. Sometimes,
the lump bleeds or develops a crust. Skin cancer can also start as
a flat, red spot that is rough, dry, or scaly.

Both basal and
squamous cell cancers are found mainly on areas of the skin that are
exposed to the sun -- the head, face, neck, hands, and arms. However,
skin cancer can occur anywhere. Don't wait for something on your skin
to hurt as skin cancer rarely causes pain.

Diagnosis

Basal cell carcinoma
and squamous cell carcinoma are generally diagnosed and treated in
the same way. When an area of skin does not look normal, the doctor
may remove all or part of the growth. This is called a biopsy. To
check for cancer cells, the tissue is examined under a microscope
by a pathologist or a dermatologist. A biopsy is the only sure way
to tell if the problem is cancer.

Treatment

In treating skin
cancer, the doctor's main goal is to remove or destroy the cancer
completely with as small a scar as possible. To plan the best treatment
for each patient, the doctor considers the location and size of the
cancer, the risk of scarring, and the person's age, general health,
and medical history. Doctors commonly use a type of surgery called
curettage. After a local anesthetic numbs the area, the cancer is
scooped out with a curette, an instrument with a sharp, spoon-shaped
end. The area is also treated by electrodesiccation. An electric current
from a special machine is used to control bleeding and kill any cancer
cells remaining around the edge of the wound. Most patients develop
a flat, white scar.

Cryosurgery

Extreme cold may
be used to treat pre-cancerous skin conditions, such as actinic keratosis,
as well as certain small skin cancers. In cryosurgery, liquid nitrogen
is applied to the growth to freeze and kill the abnormal cells. After
the area thaws, the dead tissue falls off. More than one freezing
may be needed to remove the growth completely. Cryosurgery usually
does not hurt too much and patients may have pain and swelling after
the area thaws. A white scar may form in the treated area.

Laser
Therapy

Laser therapy
uses a narrow beam of light to remove or destroy cancer cells. This
approach is sometimes used for cancers that involve only the outer
layer of skin.

How
To Do a Skin Self-Exam

You can improve
your chances of finding skin cancer promptly by performing a simple
skin self-exam regularly. The best time to do this self-exam is after
a shower or bath. You should check your skin in a well lighted room
using a full-length mirror and a hand-held mirror. It's best to begin
by learning where your birthmarks, moles, and blemishes are and what
they usually look like. Check for anything new -- a change in the
size, texture, or color of a mole, or a sore that does not heal.

Check all areas, including the back, the scalp, between the buttocks,
and the genital area.

1. Look at the
front and back of your body in the mirror, then raise your arms and
look at the left and right sides.

2. Bend your elbows
and look carefully at your palms; forearms, including the undersides;
and the upper arms.

3. Examine the
back and front of your legs. Also look between your buttocks and around
your genital area.

4. Sit and closely
examine your feet, including the soles and the spaces between the
toes.

5. Look at your
face, neck, and scalp. You may want to use a comb or a blow dryer
to move hair so that you can see better.

By checking your
skin regularly, you will become familiar with what is normal. If you
find anything unusual, see your health care provider right away. Remember,
the earlier skin cancer is found, the better the chance for cure.

ChiLel Qigong News - Volume 1 Issue 4: "'I Believe Chi Lel Literally Saved My Life.'
David Hunter, Cleveland, OH

In October 1995, I was diagnosed as having hemochromatosis, a genetic condition that causes abnormal retention of iron. Untreated, this illness causes severe organ damage leading to death. My symptoms were liver damage and severe arthritis in my ankles.
David Hunter
The treatment for this is to have a pint of blood withdrawn weekly. Two doctors told me that it would take two years to return my iron levels to normal. However, after some initial success, the level declined only 500 points in four months. I was in constant pain and feeling helpless and hopeless when Chi Lel came into my life. I took the three-day intensive workshop in March. Almost immediately, the arthritis pain began to leave. I focused on my ankle healing as I did Lift Chi Up. In May, although there was steady improvement in my ankles, there was only a slight decline of 22 points of iron. Then I changed the imagery and saw chi coming in and iron leaving.

The doctor told me it would take four years to restore normal iron levels. By that time my liver could become cancerous so we went to taking two pints of blood a week. I continued to practice every day.

Only July 15th, I was tested again and was told that a drop of 300 points would be excellent. My level dro"

ChiLel Qigong News - Volume 1 Issue 4: "My Doubt is Healed
Deliah Rosel, Northampton, MA

I have not been someone who easily feels chi energy coming into me. This has always confused me since I've enjoyed a successful massage practice for the past ten years and can easily sense energy movements in others. Nor have I previously received clear life-path messages. So I was surprised last Fall, after beginning to practice qigong, when a strong inner voice said, 'Get a passport.' Eight months later, after taking my first Chi-Lel Qigong workshop, I heard, 'Go visit the medicineless hospital in China.'
Deliah Shakes Hand with Pang Lao-Shi.
I had read 101 Miracles and as a member of the second China tour I listened to students at the Center tell us their amazing healing stories. I even watched the virulent growth of over thirty plantar warts disappear from my right foot while I was practicing in China-- and yet a part of my mind still tried to explain it away somehow.

On the day that Pang Lao-Shi was delivering chi to each of the 2,000 students at the Center, I found myself walking toward him still harboring my doubts about this whole healing phenomenon. I didn't feel anything special as I approached -- walking through the chi canopy created by his senior teachers. As I placed my hands in his I felt them softly sinking and floating in a warm glow as big as a beach ball, and a sense of complete peace came over me. That tangible sensation of energy put my doubts at rest.

Now as I continue my second 100 days of daily practice, I feel a deepening inner strength, like a warm golden tube through the center of my body, allowing me to move through my days without the fear and doubt that used to be my constant companions. At the first Chi-Lel workshop I taught, I witnessed specific healings of three of the students -- swollen glands returning to normal, severe ear ringing of one year's duration diminishing to almost quiet, and a state of agitated anger calmed.

I want to thank Frank Chan for leading our group to the Center and especially for capturing on film the moment that changed my life.

Another emotional experience.

This year was the first year in 31 years that I have not been to the emergency room- Victoria Woodward, Oceanside, CA

Victoria and Luke, at Glen Ivy, March 2000

Here is my story. . I have been sick for most of my 52 years on earth.

The last 27 years has seen back surgery, two brain surgeries, a

hysterectomy, reconstructive surgery on my face and eye, hand and foot

surgeries. I have been diagnosed with an L5 pushing into my spinal column,

degenerating disc in the middle of my back, fybromyalgia, asthma, sleep

apnea, high blood pressure and assorted little annoyances. In May of 1999 I

hit my low point when our last grandchild was born. I was using oxygen with

my bi-pap machine, taking three inhalers for my asthma, ansids for the pain,

couldn't get my blood pressure under control with meds, and feeling like

death warmed over. I had a hard time walking form the hotel room to the car

to get to my daughter's house. I could barely hold the 9 LB. baby. My

acupuncturist, who had helped me tremendously by then believe it or not,

encouraged me to take Tai Chi to help build my endurance. Dr. Tsai

acupuncturist) had already cut my emergency room visits from 4 or 5 a year

down to 1 a year.

My Tai Chi teacher, Regina Gill, told me about the "101 Miracles" and I read

the book. My life started to change from that day on. I have read the book

four times. For the first time in my entire life I felt I could be cured.

I ordered the tapes and started to practice. In August Regina held a

workshop and I took the day long program. I improved so much my daughter

took my book home with her to use. I have steadily improved since then.

This year was the first year in 31 years that I have not been to the

emergency room. I know I will be cured within two years. I want to thank

Dr. Tsai for encouraging me, for Regina for teaching me, and for Luke and

Frank for bringing the wonderful practice to the United States and sharing

with all of us. May loving Chi surround all of you.

Testimony of a dying man.

Mr Li Cai, a 61 years old student of Zhineng QiGong in China. ( Date of interview: May 1995)

A dead man's last gamble.

Mr Li took doctor's prescription for the past 3 years, when he had bladder cancer. The doctor did not recommend surgery or chemotherapy because they felt that at 58 years old, he may be too old to undergo treatment. Figuring that doctor's knows best, he accepted his fate. His cancer progresses on and in a few months time, the doctor have inform his son, that he had only around 3 more months to live. This news did not surprise Mr Li, because he knew death was the logical conclusion of his incurable disease.

He was invited by his daughter in Qinhuangdao, to visit and be with her for the last surviving moments. His daughter was in the process of making, his "longevity clothes", so that he could take it home.

While traveling in the train, Mr Li met a kind stranger, who politely ask him why he was having difficulty sitting down? After learning of Mr Li's illness, this man recommended Mr Li to Zhineng Center, located just at the back of his daughter's house. Upon reaching Qinhuangdao, Mr Li departed for the Zhineng Center. So, on the way Mr Li question his daughter, whether she was aware that such a place existed. She replied, "Yes, but I never paid much attention to it, after all if I fall sick, I will visit a doctor, not a QiGong center. Anyway, if QiGong is so effective, then would we need anymore hospitals?".

Mr Li's daughter did not discourage him from seeking help at the Zhineng QiGong Center, and by not doing so she had encourage Mr Li to indulge in " A dead man's last gamble in peace".

Mr Li felt at home seeing so many people, having to fight this dreadful incurable disease as well. He was determine to fight to his very last breadth, so he speak to himself, "Why should I die here, since I have this wonderful healing energy in my hands , and at my disposal. I am sure Zhineng QiGong will give me a fighting chance to live." With that in mind, he started his sessions in QiGong.

When he started the healing Zhineng exercises, his body was sweating profusely, his legs were shaking, and his hands were tired, but not his spirit, no his spirit was soaring. He said, "I will summon all my might, to fight back at this dreadful sickness, and I will not wait hopelessly allowing this disease to eat me up. Even, if Zhineng did not work, I will still be dignify knowing the fact that I have given it a gallant fight instead of surrendering, or giving up." From then on, Mr Li practice Zhineng diligently everyday. Only after a month, he was regaining some of his strength, and was able to eat and sleep well. He continue on his pursue of wellness and soon with the help of his caring teachers, he have beaten cancer.

Using Ultrasound, the doctors couldn't find any trace of cancer in his bladder. Somehow the cancer seems to have dissapear. Knowing the news of his remarkable recovery, his family broke down in tears, and that is how this dead man had survived to tell his tale.

In China ancient Qi masters were mindful of the healing powers of internal resource management many thousands years before even the birth of modern science. The art of Qi Gong magnify life energy, thus increasing the body capacity to heal itself.

Methods were created and written to produce the most effective natural medicine within the human body. The longevity of life, the internal healer were some of the strategies, once combine or complement with medical treatment, will speed up recovery and the important thing is it can easily be incorporated into the lifestyles the sick, old, young, and even the well. It was also said that in China QiGong was use on it's own to deal with difficult health problems.

QiGong means the cultivation of life's healing energies and resources. More and more people, in the world are beginning to use this for health, due to rising healthcare costs and expensive prescriptions.

Qi Gong dates back to more than five thousand years of Chinese culture. It is also a highly advanced science, which is unique in it's own way. Millions of people were said to have been affected, and touch by the health benefits of this wonderful culture.

Abundance miracles, and unbelievable experimental results, in extraordinary powers were link to those who chose to practice it. The results were overwhelming in nature. Large hospitals in China conduct clinical research, and the public can request for QiGong healing treatments in the hospitals.

It was quoted by Chinese practitioner that Zhineng Qi Gong was certified in China as a preminent energy healing approach, after a 19 years government survey.

There are about millions of practitioners worldwide.

New Development

Two decades after the first wave of chigong revolution back into the early 80’s, the state of the art trend of chigong or Yoga practice has changed from internal/external chi cultivation to opening up Vital Centres (Dantians)/Central Meridians.

With the help of the newly developed Zhineng Breathing Series created and complied by Master Liu, Zhineng Qigong practitioners are able to make rapid progresses in self-healing and advanced practice (Loosen up the lower back, open up the Vital Centers or even the Central Meridians).

What are the practices or movements of QiGong in a nutshell?

QiGong practice consists mainly of physical movements, mind and body intergration, breathing exercises, meditation, and relaxation. Qi- energy. People who practice QiGong develop an awareness of (Qi) sensations in their bodyand use their mind to guide the energy(Qi) to designated area for self healing. When the practitioners progresses to a sufficiently skill level, he will be call a (master), then he would be able to direct or emit external Qi for the purpose of healing others. What is Qi energy. Traditional Chinese Medicine recognises a subtle energy system, which circulates throughout the body. There are are channels in the body through which these energy flows. It is also called (life essence, or life energy), which maintains and nurtures our physical body, mind and spirit. A person is healthy if the Qi is able to move freely along this channels call the meridians points. Ailments occurs when the channels blockages builds up, clearing the meridians will allow the free flow of Qi, necessary for the restoration of health.
