What Every Woman Should Know...

(thanks to the people at Johns Hopkins Pathology)

What every woman should know...Ovarian cancer is a serious and under-recognized threat to women's health.
  • Ovarian cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death among women in the United States.
  • Ovarian cancer occurs in 1 in 57 women, up from 1 in 70 several years ago.
  • Deaths from ovarian have risen. 2004 statistics released from the American Cancer Society show that ovarian cancer deaths have risen by close to 20% over 2003 statistics.
  • More than 16,000 women will die this year alone and more than 25,500 will be diagnosed.
Ovarian cancer is very treatable when caught early; the vast majority of cases are not diagnosed until too late.
  • When ovarian cancer is caught before it has spread outside the ovaries, 90+% will survive 5 years.
  • Only 24% of ovarian cancer is caught early.
  • When diagnosed after the disease has spread the chance of five-year survival drops to less than 25%.

Natural herbs have treated so many illnesses that drugs and injections can't treat. I've seen the great importance of natural herbs and the wonderful work they have done in people's lives. I read people's testimonies online on how they were treated of HSV, HPV, Herpes, Liver diseases, Anxiety, Fever ,diarrhoea, aches and pains, sore throat , etc , by natural medicine, so I decided to contact the Naturopath Dr because I know nature has the power to heal anything.
