Air Purifiers For Breast Cancer

Air Purifier For Cancer Prevention And Treatment
By: Diana Ross, Co-Founder of Breast Cancer Yoga.
“Indoor Air Pollution is America’s number one environmental health concern. Fifty percent of all illness is caused by indoor air pollution”. – Environmental Protection Agency. You inhale roughly; 1 liter of air with each breath along with 70,000 particles. Less than one half of one percent of those particles are visible. All of the bad stuff in the air – bacteria, mold, viruses, and pollen -are less than one micron. A smoke particle released in the air at 8 feet will come crashing to the ground 408 days later. That means it’s in your breathing space, along with all of the other pathogens, for months.
If you don’t have an efficient air purification system, you and your family are the air purification system.

Imagine a frying pan of fish cooking on the stove with your ceiling fans running and your air conditioning system circulating the air. Within just a few minutes it is in every nook and cranny of the house. You can’t filter smoke out because the particles are too small. The only way to remove it is to open every door and window in the house and try to vent it. Even after four hours you can still smell the fish smoke.
Vollara Air Purification System From Breast Cancer YogaVollara’s ActivePure technology is recognized as a Certified Space Technology for having effectively applied space-based technology to address the real and growing concern of indoor air pollution for all people on earth. ActivePure’s technology using (RCI) Radiant Catalytic Ionization) that ionization will cause the smoke particles to stick together, get bigger, and fall out of the indoor air 250 times faster. Much like snowflakes float and snowballs crash.
Let’s talk about another technology that’s called oxidation, they are systems sending out invisible plasma of friendly oxidizers. They spread through the house much like the smoke that is coming off that burning frying pan. We take oxygen and water vapor and through the use of a UVX light that activates the honeycomb catalyst we breakdown the oxygen(O2) and water vapor (H2O) that occur naturally in our air to vaporous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and other friendly oxidizers. These oxidizers have a few things in common. They all occur naturally. They are all combinations of oxygen and hydrogen. And they are all very unstable. As these invisible oxidizers go out, they bump into mold, viruses, bacteria and other pollutants. They oxidize those things and they revert back to water vapor and oxygen which is a very natural process. This process actively cleans the air; it cleans the flush handles, the door knobs, the countertops and then literally every surface in the house, 24 hours a day, and 7 days a week.

If I had influenza and I touch the doorknob that virus will stay viable for 48 hours. Using ActivePure technology with RCI, the virus on the doorknob is up against a 99.9% kill rate in the very first hour.
Bad viruses and other pathogens can evolve against certain antibiotic and antiviral medicines, but they cannot evolve against oxidation.

How often can you wash your Mattress? The reality is you really can’t.
In a book by Dr. Alan Somersall a statistic is presented. He writes that three out of four asthmatics die between 2:00 o’clock and 4:00 o’clock in the morning and it’s because of breathing dust mite feces and bacteria that are imbedded in the pillows and bedding. The worst part of most people’s day is first thing in the morning after getting up. Sinuses are stuffy or clogged and eyes have that nasty crust that forms magically in the middle of the night. Not only is this greatly reduced or eliminated after a bed sanitization, but snoring usually stops and a better and longer night’s sleep is the result.

Snowflakes float and snowballs crash. A smoke particle, at .01 microns, takes 408 days to fall a distance of eight feet and is in your breathing space for four to five months! Remember that every time you inhale a breath of indoor air (about one liter) it contains 70,000 particles composed of dead skin, dust, dust mites, dust mite feces, viruses, bacteria, mold spores, pollen, carcinogenic volatile organic compounds (VOCs), smoke and particulate. If you don’t have an efficient, active advanced air purification system, you and your family become the air purification system.

A huge point about Vollara technology; and this has to do with Nosocomial Infections (occurring in hospitals), MRSA and so called Super Bugs. One thing I love about this technology is that bad viruses and other pathogens can and do evolve against antibiotics and antiviral medicines (and are doing so at an alarming rate), but they cannot evolve against oxidation any more than they can evolve against fire.

Yoga Benefits Women With Breast Cancer - Lorenzo Cohen, Ph.D.




Video and Article From MD Anderson YouTube Channel.

New study shows yoga can regulate stress hormones and improve quality of life for women with breast cancer undergoing radiation therapy.

For women with breast cancer undergoing radiation therapy, yoga offers unique benefits beyond fighting fatigue, according to research from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.

The preliminary findings were first reported in 2011 by Lorenzo Cohen, Ph.D., professor and director of the Integrative Medicine Program at MD Anderson, and are now published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. This research is part of an ongoing effort to scientifically validate mind-body interventions in cancer patients and was conducted in collaboration with India's largest yoga research institution, Swami Vivekananda Yoga Anusandhana Samsthana in Bangalore, India.

http://www.mdanderson.org/education-a...

Researchers found that while simple stretching exercises counteracted fatigue, patients who participated in yoga exercises that incorporated controlled breathing, meditation and relaxation techniques into their treatment plan experienced improved ability to engage in their daily activities, better general health and better regulation of cortisol (stress hormone). Women in the yoga group were also better equipped to find meaning in the illness experience, which declined over time for the women in the other two groups.

The study also assessed, for the first time, yoga benefits in cancer patients by comparing their experience with patients in an active control group who integrated simple, generic stretching exercises into their lives.

"Combining mind and body practices that are part of yoga clearly have tremendous potential to help patients manage the psychosocial and physical difficulties associated with treatment and life after cancer, beyond the benefits of simple stretching," said Cohen.

To conduct the study, 191 women with breast cancer (stage 0-3) were randomized to one of three groups: 1) yoga; 2) simple stretching; or 3) no instruction in yoga or stretching. Participants in the yoga and stretching groups attended sessions specifically tailored to breast cancer patients for one-hour, three days a week throughout their six weeks of radiation treatment.

Participants were asked to report on their quality of life, including levels of fatigue and depression, their daily functioning and a measure assessing ability to find meaning in the illness experience. Saliva samples were collected and electrocardiogram tests were administered at baseline, end of treatment, and at one, three and six months post-treatment.

Women who practiced yoga had the steepest decline in their cortisol levels across the day, indicating that yoga had the ability to help regulate this stress hormone. This is particularly important because higher stress hormone levels throughout the day, known as a blunted circadian cortisol rhythm, have been linked to worse outcomes in breast cancer.

Additionally, after completing radiation treatment, only the women in the yoga and stretching groups reported a reduction in fatigue. At one, three and six months after radiation therapy, women who practiced yoga during the treatment period reported greater benefits to physical functioning and general health. They were more likely to find life meaning from their cancer experience than the other groups.

According to Cohen, research shows that developing a yoga practice also helps patients after completing cancer treatment.

"The transition from active therapy back to everyday life can be very stressful as patients no longer receive the same level of medical care and attention. Teaching patients a mind-body technique like yoga as a coping skill can make the transition less difficult."

Through a grant from the National Cancer Institute, Cohen and his team are now conducting a Phase III clinical trial in women with breast cancer to further determine the mechanisms of yoga that lead to improvement in physical functioning, quality of life and biological outcomes during and after radiation treatment. A secondary aim of the trial, but one of great importance, stressed Cohen, is assessing cost efficiency analysis for the hospital, health care usage costs in general and examining work productivity of patients.

MD Anderson recognizes the growing body of research indicating that relaxation-based interventions can contribute to the well-being of people with cancer. Through the Integrative Medicine Program, complementary therapies, such as yoga, are offered at MD Anderson's Integrative Medicine Center, and are used in concert with mainstream care to manage symptoms, relieve stress, enhance quality of life and improve outcomes for patients and their caregivers.

Yoga Reduces Cancer Related Fatigue

Reduce Cancer-Related Fatigue, (CRF)
Fatigue is very common in breast cancer patients. Fatigue can prevent you from functioning normally and impacts the quality of life. Poor oxygenation due to improper breathing contributes also to low energy that causes listlessness and depression. Consider the following to reduce fatigue:
  • Practicing specific flowing poses
  • Breathing properly
  • Eating well
  • Getting enough rest will ultimately allow for energy to return

Breast Cancer Yoga has created a new yoga DVD that can be used for cancer related fatigue. This DVD contains unique restorative yoga poses that are gentle, flowing and meditative.

Yoga For Breast Cancer - Where To Begin!



Where do you begin? 
Not everyone is disciplined enough to do their yoga at home and others thrive with a home routine. There are some easy suggestions on how to start a yoga practice with this understanding of differences. Start slow, make sure you create a practice that can grow as you regain strength and stamina. 
  • Find a place at home that is quiet and well ventilated. 
  • Set a time each day or every other day that encourages a routine. 
  • Find a competent yoga teacher that teaches to the cancer community or a special breast cancer yoga DVD
  • Dress comfortably, there should be no constriction for the breath.  
  • Eat a light breakfast at least a hour beforehand. 


Don’t be hard on yourself just persevere
It does get easier, and it is important to manage a self care practice. One of the many benefits of yoga therapy is that the practice awakens positive emotions, builds self-confidence and reduces depression. There is an openness of spirit that leads to greater understanding when the practice of yoga is embraced. This all can be achieved but there must be determination and fortitude.    

Yoga can be a lot of fun 
Enjoy every deep, slow breath while moving your arms, legs and torso. It is so important to evenly pace the movement with the breath. The breath is key to your wellness. It too balances the mind, body and spirit. It is the cosmic gas station.  “If the mind wanders the breath will follow.” Take it slow, take a big conscious breath, come into the present moment and just Be.
