1 - Broccoli
a compound found in broccoli that prevented the further development of tumors by 60% in participants as well as reduced the size of existing tumors? by 75%. Broccoli also contains Vitamin C, Fiber, Calcium, Vitamin K, Beta-Carotene and much more, it is also a great source of iron for those that do not eat meat.
Broccoli also contains sulforaphane which scientific studies have shown to be effective against a specific bacterium that is a common cause of gastric ulcers and gastric cancer. Smokers under the age of 65 are encouraged to indulge in a cup of broccoli a day as studies have shown it to help battle colon cancer cells as well.
and its very effective antibiotic against Helicobacter pylori which is a bacterium that is closely associated with the risk of stomach damage and gastric cancer.
2 - Spinach
Spinach is a powerful food. It contains Vitamins C and E, Beta-Carotene, B vitamins, Calcium, iron and many more natural minerals and nutrients.
Spinach has been shown to help protect the eyes from age-related degeneration. Spinach, as well as other green vegetables, is high in potassium and low in sodium. Along with the mixture of plant-derived omega-3 fatty acids, fiber and other minerals, spinach is great for lowering your blood pressure.
3 - Wheat grass
The most powerful of foods that prevent cancer is wheat grass. Wheat Grass is one of the most beneficial complete foods there is. It is very high in chlorophyll and provides natural detoxification. The chlorophyll found in a liquid ounce of wheat grass and other leafy greens not only cleanses and builds blood, but research now shows that it may also assist in offsetting the adverse effects of radiation. Wheatgrass is one molecule away from hemoglobin in the human blood so it is the closet we can come to a blood transfusion without actually getting a blood transfusion. Now that is a powerful food!
Wheatgrass is high in oxygen like all green plants as it contains chlorophyll. The brain and other tissue in the body function at an optimal level in a highly-oxygenated environment. Science has proven that chlorophyll stops growth and development of unfriendly bacteria and can assist in increasing low red cell count. It is so nutritionally condensed that 15 pounds of Wheat Grass is the equivalent of 350 pounds of carrot, lettuce, celery, and other juices.
Wheatgrass has the following properties:
•Detoxifies the liver
•Cleanses the colon
•Leads to a tangible energy boost
•Boosts the immune system
•Purifies blood as Chlorophyll has similar molecular structure to hemoglobin - a component of blood
•Very rich in chlorophyll
•Contains 97 enzymes, vitamins, phytochemicals and minerals made famous in the US by Dr. Ann Wigmore in treatment of cancer
•Experience less colds as your resistance to infection increases

The health benefit of Bananas
you are going to read a surprise about Bananas as it is act against the following disorder
- 1-Anemia
- Bananas are relatively high in iron more than apple, increase hemoglobin production and function
- 2-Constipation and Diarrhea
- with their content of fiber, they maintain a normal bowel function and protect against constipation. In addition, diarrhea usually depletes your body of important electrolytes (of which the most important is potassium, contained in high amounts in bananas). They also contain pectin, a soluble fiber (hydrocolloid) that can help normalize movement through the digestive tract.
- 3-Eyesight Protection
- consuming at least 3 servings of fruit per day have a reduced risk (by 36%) of developing age-related macular degeneration (ARMD), the primary cause of vision loss in older adults, compared to persons who consume less than 1.5 servings of fruit daily.
- 4-Healthy Bones
- As rich source of fructooligosaccharide, a compound that nourishes probiotic (friendly) bacteria in the colon. These beneficial bacteria produce enzymes that increase our digestive ability and protect us from unhealthy bacteria infections.and increasing our body's ability to absorb calcium.
In addition, green bananas contain indigestible short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) that are very nutrient to the cells that make up the mucosa of the stomach. These cells, when healthy, absorb calcium much more efficiently - 5-Healthy Kidney
- Daily consumption of whole fruits and vegetables, especially bananas, is highly protective to kidney health. The results show that, over a long timeframe (13.4 years), women eating more than 2.5 servings of fruits and vegetable per day cut their risk of kidney cancer by 40%. Among the fruits, bananas were especially protective. Women eating bananas four to six times a week halved their risk of developing the disease compared to those who did not eat this fruit. frequent consumption of fruits and vegetables, especially bananas, cabbage and root vegetables, may reduce risk of kidney cancer. This is because bananas and many root vegetables contain especially high amounts of antioxidant phenolic compounds, while cabbage is rich in sulfur, necessary for effective detoxification of potential carcinogens.
- 6-Blood Pressure
- Bananas are extremely high in potassium (about 396mg), yet very low in sodium (1mg), thus having a perfect ratio for preventing high blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.
- 7-Heartburn
- Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.
- 8-Morning Sickness
- Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood-sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.
- 9-Smoking
- Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. They contain vitamins B6 and B12 they contain, as well as potassium and magnesium: these substances help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.
- 10-Ulcers
- This is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicle cases. It also helps reduce acidity and reduces irritation. Bananas stimulate the cells on the internal stomach lining to produce a thicker mucus (which protects against acid). Additionally, bananas contain protease inhibitors that help eliminate bacteria in the stomach that have been pinpointed as a primary cause of ulcers.
- 11-Nerves
- Bananas are high in B vitamins that have been shows to improve nerve function
- 12-Mosquito Bites
- Many people report that rubbing the inside of a banana peel on a mosquito bite is very effective in reducing itching and swelling
- 13-Stress Relief
- Bananas are high in potassium, which helps normalize the hearthbeat and regulate the body's water balance. During periods of high stress, our body's potassium levels tend to be rapidly depleted: eating bananas is a healthy way to rebalance them without using drugs
- 14-Stroke Risk
- eating bananas as part of a regular diet can reduce the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%

How Does Nexavar Work? part one
signaling pathways 1
Nexavar works along multiple signaling pathways to block cell proliferation and tumor angiogenesis.Nexavar blocks the receptor tyrosine kinases VEGFR (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor) and PDGFR (Platelet Derived Growth Factor Receptor) and the RAF serine/threonine kinases along the RAF/MEK/ERK pathway
signaling pathways 2
signal from outside and inside the cells are sent to the nucleus in a process called signal transduction
nexavar inhibit this process
signaling pathways 3
the RAS protein is a key component of several signal transduction pathways invloved in cellular death .RAS like a switch that transmits external signal by a pathway called MAP kinase pathway
signaling pathways 4
the MAP kinase pathway consists of three kinases transmit signals

- recent TREATMENT OF hepatocellular carcinoma -
Recent treatment become available in world for treatment of hcc and renal carcinoma
it is also oral treatment , this ttt will give more hope to hcc and renal carcinoma patient
it is Nexavar
Nexavar is an oral multiple kinase inhibitor for the treatment of patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the most common form of liver cancer, and patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC), the most common type of kidney cancer.
How Does Nexavar Work?
Nexavar is designed to interfere with 2 signaling processes on cancer cells and tumor blood vessels.
By slowing tumor growth and reducing the blood supply of the tumor, Nexavar may prevent the growth and spread of cancer. These processes can also be important to normal cells, so targeted therapies like Nexavar may affect some normal cells as well.

Let us know first what he should avoid to limit cirrhosis progression and for better life
Cirrhosis one of the most common disease among the world population
Our trip in this disease is concerned about what the patient should do and should not do, how his life-style should be changed
Let us know first what he should avoid to limit cirrhosis progression and for better life
What to avoid
1-Alcohol must be completely avoided as alcohol itself cause cirrhosis in the healthy liver so it will destroy liver with cirrhosis very rapidly
2-Fat : we should restrict it but not to avoided completely
Why?
Restrict it as high fat diet may cause digestive problem as flatulence and offensive bulky stool so it is better to avoid animal fat
But not to completely avoided as body still need fat to remain healthy, this fat should be in the form of olive oil (the best), plant oil, fish oil, nuts , Omega-3 fatty acids, found in food such as salmon, walnuts, and flaxseed oil.
3-Salt intake should be decreased to about 1-2 gm daily and avoided in case of ascites as salt aggravate the accumulation of fluid in the form of ascites …….. But there is great problem counter the patient is that many food contain salts so we as doctors should give good flashlight in this problem ….. patient before buying canned food should read its composition as it may contain salts , Avoid fast food and packaged foods. , avoid monosodium glutamate (MSG, common in Chinese food) . canned soups
4-Colored foods ( I mean foods with artificial colors ) should be avoided as we don’t want liver tired in the destruction of the artificial colors
5-Protein is necessary in repairing and maintaining your body tissue, especially your liver! Avoid meat protein but you can eat the chicken protein , but notice remove skin of chicken before cooking Plant protein is better as nuts, seeds, yogurt
6-Avoid usage of drugs without doctor consultation
Now let us know the good food
2-Fat : we should restrict it but not to avoided completely
Why?
Restrict it as high fat diet may cause digestive problem as flatulence and offensive bulky stool so it is better to avoid animal fat
But not to completely avoided as body still need fat to remain healthy, this fat should be in the form of olive oil (the best), plant oil, fish oil, nuts , Omega-3 fatty acids, found in food such as salmon, walnuts, and flaxseed oil.
We will explain later how to replace the salt

6-Avoid usage of drugs without doctor consultation
Now let us know the good food
- Potassium salt can replace the normal table sodium salt
- The white portion of boiled egg
- Daily glass of skimmed milk
- Organic fruit, vegetables
- Plant protein nuts, seeds, yogurt
- olive oil (the best), plant oil, fish oil, nuts , Omega-3 fatty acids, found in food such as salmon,walnuts, and flaxseed oil
- Honey as it raise immunity very good
