Cuba has acquired along the years a great experience in the battle against cancer positioning itself amongst the world leaders in cancer research.

Cubaforhealth.com offers you all possibilities of conventional treatments with proven effectiveness against cancer, as well as more alternative treatments.

Cubaforhealth.com does not recommend the use of alternative treatments unless all possible conventional treatments have been given up.

The alternative treatments can be a glimpse of hope for those who haven trodden all paths of modern medical science without relief. Nevertheless alternative methods can represent a risk for your health. Due to its experimental nature the existence of collateral or secondary unforeseen side effects cannot be excluded.

The policy of Cubaforhealth.com for those seeking alternative treatment, consists in the prerogative that the patient is evaluated by a consultant doctor in Cuba . Only then, with this medical approval can we proceed to arrange an alternative treatment.

Normal cells when receiving the stimulus to proliferate and multiply, respond to an amount of signals that go to its core and trigger off a complex process which ends with the cells dividing into two equal parts and as such creating two daughter cells. Once the stimulus dies out the new cells stop their growth, and like with traffic signs the growth of cells in a human organ or tissue are controlled and regulated by the stimuli.

On the other hand cancerous cells don’t respect or ignore the stimuli even proliferating in its absence. On the contrary to normal cells cancerous ones don’t respect the traffic signs and they go on forming abnormal masses of cells.

On top of it the cancerous cells contain other characteristics far more dangerous then the uncontrolled proliferation. It has the capacity to invade nearby tissues and to enter in the tiny blood vessels and the lymphatic of the tissue from where it comes from. As such entering the blood system the cancerous cells can travel through the whole body into remote areas like the brain, the liver, bones etc... Here they stay and form a new mass of cells. This process is known as metastasis.

Cancer is a genetic disease, meaning it is passed on by the genes and specifically by the genes regulating the proliferation and death of the cells. Other genetic diseases are induced by inheriting bad genes. 90 to 95 % of the cancers are caused by a mutation of inherited genes of your ancestors caused by the work of exogenous agents in the environment. These are known as ‘provoking cancer’ and cause changes in the genes over the years. As such, although other genetic diseases can be caused by one single mutation of hereditary genes, cancer needs an accumulation of mutations over a long period of time between 3 to 20 years depending on the type of cancer.

That is why cancer is more common with elder people. Only 5 to 10 % of the cancers are caused by inheriting the bad genes of one of the parents, and even then although being called hereditary cancer, still the individual is not born with the disease but with a disposition to develop it.
