The Cancer Vaccination

There is close relationship between the uterus neck cancer and Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). If this virus menginfeksi women, the risk becomes the womb neck cancer.

She will be 15 years later old on 21 September. Facial lines and lips so beautiful, like as her mother. She is Eva Celia, Sovie’s daughter.

Accompanied his father, Michael Real, Eva present in Brawijaya Women & Children Hospital Jakarta to get vaccination uterus neck cancer prevention.

"Cancer is caused by the womb neck HPV or Human Papilloma Virus. The virus can be prevented by vaccination since early, since the age of teenagers like me now," he said in front of journalists.

Potentially infectious HPV through sexual contact. Of them, of course, through sex. Concerning vaccination and rush around the uterus neck cancer, Eva confess annotation already get enough of both doctors and parents.

"I'm happy to have parents who are very open. And my presence here would like to increase the awareness of friends of the danger uterus neck cancer," Eva said.

Compulsory vaccination

Unfortunately, Sovie, her mother who’s graceful, not at present accompany Eva vaccinated. "What, our children are small new building can not sleep and left," said Michael.

"As a parent, I would take any step as soon as may be the best for children. Of course we worry concerning womb cancer risk and prevent if there is, why it is not done," said the man bloody United States whwt speak fluent Indonesian.

"Ah, I'm not afraid to vaccinate. Syringe with unfear," Eva said. However, when Dr. Nugroho Kampono, Sp.OG, began to direct syringe in leg, Eva turned to another direction, away from the syringe puncture.

The center of news attention interpreter that day to help the uterus neck cancer campaign, Eva does not claim to be so gracious ambassador neck cancer. "Not me, but Chika, child pair Anton and Ira," he said.

Young girls like Chika and Eva was the ideal target for the uterus neck cancer vaccination. "The vaccination can be given to women of all ages, but there are conditions, namely there is no sexual contact, normal uterus neck condition, and no pre cancer. In the United States, the ideal age for women vaccinated 9 to 13 years, probably in here from 14 to 27 years, "said Dr. Nugroho.

Giving the vaccine is done three times in succession. After the first vaccine, the next two months the patient hares back to the second vaccination. The third vaccine is the last on six months later.

Price per vaccine injection $ 100. "It's not cost more," Dr. Nugroho said. Indeed expensive at this time and can be reached the middle to the top people.

"In the future this type of vaccination is thus an obligation on developed countries like the U.S... Because I believe if entrance compulsory vaccination, soon the price will go down as in the case of hepatitis B vaccine," he said.

Transmitted Men

Recognized by Dr. Nugroho, vaccination is only to prevent HPV types 16 and 18 which cause the cancer risk of womb neck. "The vaccine is not able to kill 30 to 40 of the HPV reproductive organs of 120 species that have been known. However, there are also several types of HPV in the vaccination tercegah this blessing," he said.

How can HPV spread through sexual and non-sexual? Path going through sexual contact genitals, whether through sex or oral sex. Non-sexual routes going through the clothes in, surgery gloves, normal birth in vagina. In this case, the virus move from the vagina to the baby through the baby's respiratory channel.

HPV infection is, according to Dr. Nugroho, are in the sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). More than 75 percent of women who have had intimate infected with HPV virus. Peak of infection occurs between age 18 to 22 years. Infection is folded-fold increased risk if the couples are often changed. "Remember that men can also transmit HPV," he said.

Infection can also occur on you. When that happens, 80 percent of HPV viruses will be cleaned by body's immune system. The rest likely to be settled in infection in the body and neck cancer risk womb.

Although already vaccinated, pap smears tests still recommended by Dr. Nugroho. "If you are married or do sexual, do the pap smear regularly," he said. Pap smear is a procedure of the cells from the womb neck microscope to be examined in order to detect any deviation in the uterus neck.

Vaccinations and Pap smear along with the educational problems uterus neck cancer is a step in the prevention of cancer. "From the hospital, uterus neck cancer is the number one killer in Indonesia. From population, breast cancer is the number one in Indonesia," he said.

According to the WHO every year around the world 490.000 women diagnosed suffering uterus neck cancer. Most of them are in developing countries. From 490.000, 240.000 are died.

Hepatitis

The term "hepatitis" is used for all types of inflammation in the liver (liver). The causes can be various, ranging from viruses or medicines, including traditional medicine. Virus hepatitis also have some type, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, C, D, E, F and G. Manifestation of disease due to hepatitis virus can be acute (hepatitis A) may also chronicles hepatitis (hepatitis B, C) and some which then become cancerous liver (hepatitis B and C).

Hepatitis A
Often hepatitis A infection in children does not cause symptoms, whereas in adults, the symptoms like as flu, feeling tired, fever, diarrhea, nausea, stomach pain, yellow eyes and loss of appetite. Symptoms disappeared completely after 6-12 days. People infected with hepatitis A will be immune to the disease. Unlike as the hepatitis B and C, hepatitis A infection does not continue to chronicle hepatitis.

Incubation period of it is 30 day. Contagion can for food or drink what get contaminated by patient's feces, for example, eating fruit, vegetables not cooked or a half-baked shell.
Currently there is hepatitis A vaccine, providing immunity for 4 weeks after the first injection, immunity to the required length of time the vaccine injection. Habitué drug addict and anal sex, including homosexual is a high risk of contracting hepatitis A.

Hepatitis B
Symptoms similar to hepatitis A, like as flu, namely the loss of appetite, nausea, feeling tired, eyes, yellow fever, and vomiting. Can spread through a syringe or a knife what get contaminated, blood transfusion and human bites.
Treatment with Interferon alfa-2b and lamivudine, and immunoglobulin containing antibody to hepatitis-B was given 14 days after exposure.
Hepatitis B vaccine that is safe and effective has been available since a few years ago. Which is the risk of contracting hepatitis B is habitué drug addict, who has many sexual pairings.

About hepatitis C will be another opportunity in the study.

Hepatitis D
Hepatitis D Virus (HDV) or delta virus is a unique virus that is not complete and to replicate need existence of virus hepatitis B. Transmission can for sexual relations, syringe and blood transfusion. Infectious diseases of hepatitis D is have variation, symptoms can appear as a lightweight (co-infection) or very progressive.

Hepatitis E
Symptoms similar with hepatitis A, rheumatic fever, tired, loss of appetite and stomach ache. Disease that will heal itself (self-limited), except when occurred in pregnancy, particularly third trimester, may kill.

Hepatitis F
Just a few cases that have been reported. At this time the experts have not agreed hepatitis F is separate disease hepatitis.

Hepatitis G
Similar symptoms of hepatitis C, infection often coincides with the hepatitis B and / or C. Does not cause hepatitis or hepatitis fulminan chronicles. Of transmission through blood transfusion syringe.

Hopefully this knowledge can be useful for you and you can forward to your friends or relatives.

Exercise Prevents Cancer

Liver cancer is often found in Indonesia. Cancer is associated with the infection of Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C. This means, in general, people with liver cancer was infected with Hepatitis B or C.
Diseases Hepatitis B and hepatitis C are often experienced by the population of Indonesia. Both the disease is transmitted through body fluids. Hepatitis B virus and Hepatitis C can be transmitted through sexual relations, syringe, and blood transfusion.
In general, adults in this country we have safe blood transfusion, the blood will be given test of Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and HIV. Thus the possibility of hepatitis and HIV through blood transfusion has become smaller. Hepatitis symptoms of the disease, the virus usually begins with fever, stiff muscles, nausea, yellow eyes, and reddish-colored urine, such as air conditioning. However, not all people experience such symptoms.
Hepatitis C Symptoms usually lighter than the Hepatitis A or B. Fell ill after a Hepatitis A in general, people recover perfectly, does not have to become a chronicle. Hepatitis B is also most will recover well and only about 5-10 percent of that will be the chronicles. When the hepatitis B to become part of the chronicles of the hepatitis B chronicles this will be the liver cirrhosis and liver cancer.
On Hepatitis C patients who are far more chronicles. Some people with Hepatitis C will be the chronicles liver cirrhosis and liver cancer. Only a few people with Hepatitis B who developed into liver cancer. Similarly, people with Hepatitis C in the only part of a liver cancer. Usually takes 17 to 20 years who suffered from a Hepatitis C to develop into liver cirrhosis or liver cancer.
Now there is a new medicine for Hepatitis B which is called lamivudin. This medicine tablet form that is eaten once a day. Meanwhile, if necessary treatment is available for Hepatitis C is Interferon (injection) and Ribavirin (capsule). However, the use of drugs requires medical supervision.
Results of blood examination showed that anti-HBs positive means that you have Hepatitis B virus infection, but the virus is no longer in your blood (HbsAg negative). That shows that even now you have immunity against Hepatitis B (anti-HBs positive). Therefore, during the anti-HBs antibody level you high, you need not vaccinated again. Hepatitis B immunization can begin since a baby.
Anti-HCV negative means you have not been infected with Hepatitis C. Until now there is no vaccine for Hepatitis C, so it is advisable to be careful so as not contracting Hepatitis C. So, avoid contact with body fluids of others. One effective way to reduce liver cancer frequency is immunization with Hepatitis B. This has been proven in many countries. In fact, countries that have Hepatitis B immunization program of the frequency of cancer with liver decreased significantly. Hopefully our people care to immunization of Hepatitis B.

About Hepatitis A
virus infection

Hepatitis A disease, also called as jaundice (jaundice), especially the children and young adults. This disease is stable, the cells the virus hides in the liver cells and bile for virus entry into the digestive system. Therefore, the dirt could have a high concentration during the infection period.

Incubation period of hepatitis A on average 28 days (range: 15-50 days). Concentration of virus in faeces is still high 2 - 3 weeks after symptoms of disease appear. While the saliva and body fluids could have a low concentration. Virus hepatitis A (VHA) survive 3 - 4 hours in normal room temperature. Here, the equipment or the food they eat what befouled VHA itself easily transmit the disease.

Symptoms of hepatitis A usually appear acute, like as flu symptoms, nausea, fever (a fever is a fever that occurs continuously, unlike as fever the other, the dengue fever, tuberculosis, typhus), feeling tired, loss of appetite, feeling of nausea, stomach not comfortable, dizziness, urine color brown, the white ball into the eye colors, and on the right side stomach pain or foolish. However, the children sometimes do not pierce the symptoms develop. If any, symptoms usually appear suddenly. Symptoms usually lasted less than 2 months; some people can get up to 6 months. People infected with hepatitis A will be immune to the disease. Unlike the hepatitis B and C, hepatitis A infection does not continue to chronicle hepatitis.

This disease is spread through food or drink what get contaminate by feces of patients, such as eating fruits, vegetables not cooked a meal or a half-baked shell. Hepatitis A can also spread through direct contact, such as through sexual contact or buss. Habitué drug addict and anal sex, including homosexual is a high risk of contracting hepatitis A. It may not generally infected with this virus depends on the hygienic condition of the environment. Complications due to hepatitis A almost do not exist, except in the elderly or someone who already have a chronic liver disease or cirrhosis.

To ensure someone VHA contract, conducted a blood test which showed positive antibody against the virus. Test more appropriate measure ALT (serum alanine aminitransferase) and AST (asparaten aminotransferase) shows the number above normal.

There is no treatment specifically on hepatitis A. Provided that treated well, can usually be cured after six months. People need to relax total (1 - 4 weeks), avoid contact with the body unpatient and given enough food protein, but low fat. When treated at home, all used clothing after used, cutlery and drinking should be washed separately. After use of toilet, cleaned with antiseptic. Wash hands often, especially to the small room, before eating, after changing nappies and baby. Do not drink water from sources that have not been declared clean, cook and wash up or clean before food is eaten. Myth that states, people with jaundice should be eating lots of sugar is not entirely correct. Actual function of sugar only add energy, so that the strength to recover quickly.

Two products can be used to prevent hepatitis A infection: Immunoglobulin vaccine and hepatitis A. Immunoglobulin provide immediate protection against infection, but only effective for 3 months. Hepatitis A vaccine takes 2 weeks to start working, but the protection provided will remain effective up to 20 years.

Akupuntur and moxibustion treatment assist in the control and alleviate pain and nausea for a better life.

Herbal therapy has been the most anti-cancer medicine and is the main weapon in fighting cancer:

* Indirubin from dang gui lu hui wan, irisquinone of Iris lactea pallasii and Zhuling polysaccharide from Polyporus umbellata.
* Encourage the cancer cells back to normal cells
* Develop apoptosis (natural cell death) of cancer cells to tumor growth
* Cut chemical signals between cancer cells that stimulate them to reproduce themselves as tumor
* While many cancer cells have to build immunity against chemotherapy, many Chinese herbs can help chemotherapy
* Enable blood circulation and eliminate static blood. Expedite the flow of blood and Chi can help reduce the spread of tumor and chemotherapy to reach the tumor cells
* Helps the body with the immune system and stimulate the cells to antibody resistance to a more effective and limit tumor growth, while some plants can kill tumor cells directly

Coolness of hospital waiting room can’t afford to cool Mira Sarasasih Purbasari feeling. The heart rolling, the hands vibrate with holding white envelope. She opened the envelope and put out results of the examination ultrasonografi paper. He read medical diagnosis: breast cancer stadium 2.

Seemingly dark world. In the waiting room chairs her eyes closed. She remind her aunt who lives up at 65 years old because of breast cancer. Death come after 5 years she wrestle with the malignant disease. Suddenly feeling afraid approached. Mira who 31 years old at that time was afraid the same boat with her aunt. His chance of curing breast cancer stadium 2 free 30 - 40%.

Doctors who reviewed suggest Mira to chemotherapy. However, Mira refused. Suffering her aunt when do chemotherapy has not yet to erase from Mira’s memory: the hair drop of, skin wrinkled, reduced appetite, and world-weary face. According to dr Henry Naland SpBOnk, almost all people have onkogen or cancer genes in the chromosome. When run karsinogen or substance of cancer causesed, normal cells change into malignant cells when never die.

That is the cancer cells. 'But, the good body's immune system can prevent the occurrence of cancer,' Henry said. Henry says, cancer trigger, including breast cancer, among others, the high consumption of fatty foods and low consumption of fibrous food. Heap of fat can stimulate excessive cell growth to cancer cell.

That's exactly Mira lifestyle. Youngest from 4 full sibling like eat fast food. Every day, once again, every day he always eats burger and fried chicken fast food. Other favorite food? Goats’ soup and cow not run from her mouth. Favorite place in Bandarlampung have she go.

In addition, she work overtime so have no regular of pattern sleep. The impact of this condition is worsened with the high pressure from job make she stress. With this lifestyle, Mira are not aware her selves near with cold-blooded murderer, breast cancer.

Herbal

In the middle of depression, Mira remind her friend, EMA Rahayu who contract breast cancer has recovered after consuming herbal. That became Mira’s inspiration. Women when born at 19 August 1977 was rushing to meet herbalist Mohammad Yusuf in Sukabumi, West Java.

Yusuf diligently in east treatment since 47 years before. Men who have Sukabumi for his hometown suggest Mira consume each 30 g xia cao gu (Prunella vulgaris), se shi cao (Lycopodirum japonica), ban zi Lian (Scutellaria barbata), and hai zao (Sargassum pallidum). In addition, Yusuf also recommend 20 g bu ying gang, 12 g (Angelica sinensis) dang gui, and 20 g xi shan gu (Cremastra appendiculate). Mira boil ingredients in 5 glass of water and boil until remaining 1 glass. She drinks the results of stew in 2 times a day, at the morning and evening. This not only to kill the cancer cells but also to strengthen the flank and improve body condition.

According to Yusuf, cancer can arise due because the pattern of life is not balanced. In he’s analogy, body’s resistance and the disease like as weights. When the disease increased, body’s resistances go down, also vice versa. To prevent disease, he suggested a balance of pattern life.

Food what is consumed must be balanced between the 'yin' hot and 'yang' cold. Too much consumption of food, 'yang' like as various fried food make risk of cancer growing up. Lack of rest, stress, and genetic factors on Mira, according to Yusuf also could be caused the incidence of breast cancer.

Balanced

According to Yusuf, a melatonin compound what found in the herbal recipe hai zao able to destroy cancer cells. Hartono Chong, herbalist in Jakarta agreed hai zao as cancer destroyer. Cancer cells are killed then removed through the urine or sweat.

Yusuf analogy for herbal and cancer, such as trees with ant. When the ant is a cancer cell, a tree like the human body. Medicine is working to cut the chemical ant nest. Unfortunately, ant out from nest and move to the other tree. Conversely, herbal treatment works to kill the 'ant' or cancer cells first. As a result, the ant nest or cancer cells in the body slowly die because of not getting food supplies from the ant.

Mira has a strong discipline to consume the herb. However, the 10-day intermittent stomach feel it flare. She was many times a day to break feces until 10 times. Mira stop the consumption of the herbal. Yusuf, military consultant hospital in Guangzhou, China, is making sure that it is symptoms as normal and indication herbal medicine clean toxic or call ‘detoksifikasi’. Mira is back to continue consumption. A week after that, she felt the condition of the body more fit.

Mira examined her selves to a clinic in Bandung. She was anxious hopes when the test results sheet in the open before her. Hands tremble opened the envelope. However, when know the test results show breast cancer over a 2.5 - 3 cm from the previous 4 cm, Mira torn be happy.

Mira continue consume the herbal from Yusuf. Now, lump as bigger as soybean is no fell if touch by the hands, body condition was improved. Body weight back to the initial position of 55 kg, 45 kg previously. Ensure that breast cancer is not growing up again. she also continues to consume herbal. she consumption the ' Yin ' food, such as pear, apple, and watermelon. Future what dertroy before, now extends bright in her ayes. (Faiz Yajri)
