How is cancer treated?
Cancer treatment can include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and biological therapy. The doctor may use one method or a combination of methods, depending on the type and location of the cancer, whether the disease has spread, the patient’s age and general health, and other factors. Because treatment for cancer can also damage healthy cells and tissues, it often causes side effects. Some patients may worry that the side effects of treatment are worse than the disease. However, patients and doctors generally discuss the treatment options, weighing the likely benefits of killing cancer cells and the risks of possible side effects. Doctors can suggest ways to reduce or eliminate problems that may occur during and after treatment.

Does cancer always cause pain?
Having cancer does not always mean having pain. Whether a patient has pain may depend on the type of cancer, the extent of the disease, and the patient’s tolerance for pain. Most pain occurs when the cancer grows and presses against bones, organs, or nerves. Pain may also be a side effect of treatment. However, pain can generally be relieved or reduced with prescription medicines or over-the-counter drugs recommended by the doctor. Other ways to reduce pain, such as relaxation exercises, may also be useful. Pain should not be accepted as an unavoidable part of having cancer. It is important for patients to talk about pain so steps can be taken to help relieve it.

The Role of Mangosteen
A prominent free radical researcher, Dr. Bruce Ames, estimates that the DNA material in every one of the trillions of cells in our body receives about ten thousand hits from free radicals everyday! To prevent a breach of the body's defenses in the face of an attack of such magnitude requires the concerted efforts of all the agents of the immune system, which can be seen as the armed forces of the body, along with the collaboration of the policemen or the gene regulatory mechanism.

The xanthones in mangosteen juice have a proven ability to destroy cancerous cells. In fact, in a recent well-designed in vitro study,  a xanthone found in the mangosteen fruit (Garcinone E) was found to be more effective than five commonly used chemotherapy agents for stomach, lung and liver cancer (vincristine, mitoxantrone, 5-fiourouracil, cisplastin and methotrexate).

In the view of one prominent mangosteen researcher, mangosteen prevents and arrests cancerous change at every step of the process and is an anti-tumor agent in cases where cancer already exists. According to him, mangosteen protects against cancer by helping the genes do their job of regulating growth and replication, and by supporting the immune system to ward off attacks successfully. Biologically active elements in mangosteen impede the promotion and progression of cancer when DNA damage does occur. And mangosteen attacks the tumors. Furthermore, there is no conclusive evidence to suggest that phytoceuticals impair the efficacy of chemotherapy. Finally, he stresses that while it is exciting to realize what the mangosteen phytoceuticals will do in the area of cancer treatment, it is far more important to prevent the development of cancer in the first place.
