Study shows yoga may reduce fatigue and inflammation for breast cancer patients

1/28/2014

Breast cancer patients take a yoga class during a Ohio State University study.

Study shows yoga may reduce fatigue and inflammation for breast cancer patients - Cancer Education and Research Institute (CERI)
At least one in three women diagnosed with breast cancer suffers from lingering fatigue months or even years after treatment ends, but practicing yoga significantly reduces this symptom and also helps lower levels of dangerous inflammation. That’s the finding of a new National Cancer Institute-funded clinical trial that randomly assigned 200 breast cancer survivors to take either a 90-minute hatha yoga class—a gentler form than the popular hot bikram yoga—twice a week for 12 weeks or to be in a control group that was waitlisted for the class.

At the end of the study published online Monday in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, those who practiced yoga reported about 50 percent less fatigue than those in the control group and had 20 percent lower levels of three proteins in the blood that are markers for inflammation. The proteins, generated by the immune system, are known to cause fatigue, headaches, and general malaise when we develop an infection—the body’s way of forcing us to get rest.

Excess inflammation has been linked to a higher risk of breast cancer recurrence and chronic diseases of aging such as diabetes, osteoporosis, and heart disease, according to study leader Janice Kiecolt-Glaser, a professor of psychiatry and psychology at The Ohio State University College of Medicine.

The more times women practiced yoga each week, the lower the levels of their tiredness and inflammation. What’s more, these benefits persisted three months after the study ended—presumably because many of the study participants were keeping up their yoga practice.

“Sleep was significantly improved in the women who did yoga, and that could be a major reason for the decline in their fatigue and inflammation,” said Kiecolt-Glaser. Many breast cancer survivors suffer from chronic insomnia, she added, often due to anxiety that persists after their diagnosis with a life-threatening disease.

“Studies show that some patients continue to have moderate-to-severe fatigue years after treatment,” states the National Cancer Institute website. Besides lack of sleep, anti-estrogen drugs like tamoxifen—given to many breast cancer patients for 5 to 10 years after their diagnosis to prevent a recurrence—can also contribute to fatigue, according to NCI.

Even in those without breast cancer, yoga has been shown to provide the same—or even bigger--mood-boosting effects than running and other forms of strenous exercise. But newcomers to yoga also need to be careful not to overdo it since pushing too much, too fast, can raise the risk of injuries.

Breast cancer patients who are older or still recovering from surgery or chemotherapy could certainly benefit from the practice. Kiecolt-Glaser recommended starting with a hatha yoga class, a restorative form that focuses on gentle stretching and a period of resting meditation at the end.

Cancer painkiller mixed with heroin blamed for 22 Pennsylvania deaths

1/28/2014

0 Comments

 
(CNN) -- Dr. Karl Williams says he normally sees three or four deaths from drug overdoses in a typical week as the chief medical examiner in Pennsylvania's Allegheny County, which includes Pittsburgh.

In the past week, he saw 15 -- men and women, of various ethnicities, ranging in age from 22 to 53. All of them appear to have been heroin users who instead received a mix of heroin and fentanyl, a powerful narcotic used to treat cancer patients' pain, Williams told CNN.

"This is pretty clearly somebody manufacturing fentanyl and selling it as heroin," Williams said.


The deaths Williams has recorded are among nearly two dozen in western Pennsylvania linked to a heroin-fentanyl mix, state Attorney General Kathleen Kane said Monday. The "extremely dangerous and potentially lethal" combination has killed 22 people in six counties, Kane said in a written statement.

"We are working with the Allegheny County Police Department, the Pittsburgh Police, and their counterparts in the region to get this deadly mix of heroin off the streets of Western Pennsylvania, and to arrest and prosecute anyone caught selling, distributing, and producing these drugs," her statement said.

Williams said fentanyl can be 10-100 times more potent than morphine, the base molecule in heroin, and it's only distributed as a powder when someone is manufacturing it illegally. The drug is being distributed in bags marked "Income Tax," "Bud Ice" and "Theraflu, Williams said.

"This is not accidental. Somebody is deliberately trying to make a big batch of fentanyl," he said. "It is not an extraordinarily complex molecule to synthesize, and you can find instructions on the Internet. It does not take a sophisticated chemist to do this."

It's not the first time that fentanyl has turned up on the streets of Pittsburgh. In 1988, Williams said, 17 people died when a chemist distributed fentanyl as heroin.

And in 2006, in Philadelphia, 269 people were killed by fentanyl overdoses, the state Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs said. The agency raised new alarms about fentanyl in July, blaming it for 50 deaths in Pennsylvania by mid-2013.

Martin Luther King, Jr. was a man who filled his heart with love and refused hate

1/20/2014

0 Comments

 
Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day! Today we're celebrating a man, who fought for civil rights and racial equality. In 1964, he received the Nobel Peace Prize for combating racial inequality through nonviolence. King was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Congressional Gold Medal posthumously. In 1986, the U.S. has established Martin Luther King, Jr. Day as a U.S. federal holiday. 

Martin Luther King, Jr. has always filled his heart with love rather than with hate, which is poison for our soul. It is important for people and for cancer patients to forgive, forget, and fill their heart with love. Love detoxifies, love heals!

Local Non-Profit Announces the Launch of its African Cancer Education Program

January 16, 2014

SOMERVILLE, MA – A non-profit cancer education organization, Cancer Research Simplified, announces today the launch of its educational programs in the Afrikaans language. The non-profit’s programs currently in English, German, and Turkish have already reached 114 countries, including 17 African countries, and 50 states in the US.

Founded by cancer researcher Aygün Şahin, MSc, PhD, Cancer Research Simplified helps educate patients and the public about cancer, including prevention, clinical trials and other treatments. The Cancer Research Simplified website features educational cancer videos that avoids medical jargon. “We are thrilled about launching our programs in the Afrikaans language, which is spoken by more than 20 million people. Cancer education remains a global problem, and we’ve aimed to tackle it,” says Sahin.

Cancer Research Simplified has joined with Len Bernardt, a South African oncology radiotherapist at a hospital in Durban, who has worked in cancer centers and hospitals in the Netherlands and South Africa and has served as National Project Manager for multi-centre pharmaceutical clinical trials. “This program will benefit our population tremendously,” says Bernardt, “and I am particularly excited to make simplified information available to patients, as cancer specialists and clinicians often fail to explain this disease in detail due to the size of their daily case loads.”

Twelve months young, the organization’s website, www.cancerresearchsimplified.org, has had nearly 17,000 visitors, and Cancer Research Simplified’s videos can also be seen on YouTube. They are attracting the attention of cancer organizations and news outlets around the world.

Sahin, an award-winning cancer immunologist who has been a faculty member at Harvard Medical School/Massachusetts General Hospital, was moved to start the non-profit after noticing a disconnect between researchers and patients who were often frustrated by confusing or conflicting information. Sahin, herself, communicates directly with cancer patients around the world and helps them sift through medical information and identify potential clinical trial options.

Patient education is only part of Cancer Research Simplified’s mission. Sahin is also dedicated to supporting the next generation of cancer researchers by offering scholarships to high-school students interested in cancer research. The Youth Program will enable students to participate in research activities at cancer institutions worldwide, encouraging their educational and personal growth.
