We all know that the Ayurveda is one and only medical science based on the balance in every level, including immune system of the body. In western medicine immunomodulators are used to maintain this balance or to enhance the power of immune system.
Immunomodulators are considered now as one of the most potent tools in the management of health and disease. The basic concepts of immunomodulation not only existed in Ayurveda but is being really practiced by the Ayurvedists for centuries. In fact one of the therapeutic strategies in Ayurveda medicines is to enhance the body's overall natural resistance to the disease causing agent rather than directly neutralizing the agent itself.
Cancer incidence and mortality are rapidly growing worldwide. Significant portion of cancers could be prevented through lifestyle changes and cancer outcomes are significantly better if diagnosed early. Only 5-10% of all cancer cases can be attributed to genetic defects, whereas the remaining 90-95% has their roots in environment and lifestyle.
It is estimated that more than 30% of all cancers maybe prevented by modifying or avoiding key risk factors, which include tobacco use, alcohol intake, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy diet like spicy, fried, preserved, processed, junk food; stressed life, radiation exposure, chronic inflammation, carcinogens (cancer causing substances). Eat more variety of vegetables, fruits, whole grains and legumes such as beans. Avoid consumption of red meats (such as beef, pork and lamb) and avoid processed meat.
Certain viruses have been linked to cancer, but are preventable through vaccination. Liver cancers are linked to the Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) and Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) and Human Papilloma Virus is linked to Cervical Cancer. The human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine helps prevent most cervical cancers and several other kinds of cancer. The hepatitis B vaccine can help lower Liver cancer risk.
