The imbalance between the body’s defense mechanisms and the forces causing cellular anarchy can lead to cancer, which usually takes the form of tumors. Tumors develop as a result of the chaotic and undefined proliferation of a cancerous cell clone, which leads to the destruction of the original tissue, as well as the development of regional and general extensions. The following factors play an important role in the development of cancer: hereditary material, some viruses and environmental factors.
Almost one third of the people suffer from cancer, and it is estimated that 70% of the cases can be prevented through lifestyle and diet changes. The immune system, which is able to identify and destroy abnormal cells that might be at the origin of this disease, plays a major role in the fight against cancer.
Cataract is an eye condition in which the crystalline lens or its capsule gradually and progressively becomes opaque. This is associated with a decrease of visual acuity and, in the most severe cases, eventually leads to blindness. It is most common in elderly patients as a result of the ageing process.
Symptoms include: loss of the visual acuity, increased sensitivity to spotlights and sunlight, and a shift in color perception.
The cataract is supposedly caused by mechanical injuries, smoking, ultraviolet radiations and, especially, ageing. It occurs only in a small number of cases as a congenital condition.
Constipation is caused by a low intake of fibers and fluids, lack of exercise, or by certain diseases (such as diabetes mellitus, disorders of the thyroid gland, increased blood calcium levels, and colon cancer). It is characterized by slow intestinal transit associated with difficult defecation as a result of an increase in the consistency of stool.
Symptoms include: consistent stools, painful stools at irregular intervals and distension.
