Transcript

AAA newsmagazine By Jennifer Scism * WCnewsmagazine In 1985, a doctor began a tradition that has turned into a huge and wonderful event that is aimed at aiding cancer research, providing hope for those who face cancer and observing remembrance for those who passed away due to the disease. Dr. Gordy Klatt, of Tacoma, Washington, ran and walked 83 miles and raised $27,000 in donations to the American Cancer Society, and the following year over two hundred people supported his efforts. Since then, Relay for Life has grown into a huge event that spread across the country, and now over 4,200 communities sponsor 24-hour walks for the Relay For Life effort. Millions of people have lived with cancer and a large portion of these individuals have died because ; of the disease. Breast cancer alone will strike over 200,000 people this year and will claim the lives | of over 40,000 of these individuals. And thats | just breast cancer. There are hundreds of types of cancer that affect the entire world. According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), a division of the World Health Organization, in the year 2000, alone 10 million people developed / malignant cancer tumors, and 6.2 million of them | died as result. Also, in the year 2000, 12 percent of all deaths in the world were attributed to cancer. While some habits and genetic circumstances can increase the risk for developing cancer, it is a blind disease, meaning that it can strike at anyone, regardless of gender, age, race, economic status, sexual preference or country of habitat. Any and everyone is a candidate for cancer. Most people think of epidemics and widespread disease as something that affects third world countries that have low economic status and unhealthy sanitation conditions. While this may be true for alot of diseases, this is not the case for cancer. Cancer cases are growing in tremendous numbers in industrialized nations. The lifestyle that accompanies average citizens of industrialized nations is what makes these people, including Americans, prone to cancer and its effects. The rate for cancer in industrialized nations is twice as high as it is in developing countries. It is estimated that 1,500 people will die of cancer every day in the United States alone. According to a study recently done by medical researchers affiliated with the American Cancer Society, cancers of the lung and bronchus, prostate, and colon and rectum in men, and cancers of the lung and bronchus, breast, and colon and rectum in women continue to be the most common causes of cancer death in the U.S.A total of 1,368,030 new cancer cases are expected to surface in our country this year. One thing that western medicine is often criticized for is the closed-mindedness that the field tends to have when it comes to alternative forms of treatment for the disease. Since Western Medicine has failed to find an effective cure, people who are facing their last days on earth seek other outlets to help them combat, heal and cope with the debilitating symptoms. Some forms of treatment, used by millions of people around the world, are rooted in eastern philosophies of healing. Ancient Chinese medicine, which includes meditation, herbal remedies, Qigong (a self healing art that combines movement and meditation), massage therapy, acununcture, acupressure, moxibustion and many other forms of healing, are all used on a regular basis as primary and complementary treatments for healing cancer. The marriage of eastern and western philosophies of medicine is a huge concern in the health world today. It appears that a lot of physicians and healers are determined to promote cohesion of the two realms to help make the lives of cancer patients less painful. The difference in the two philosophies lies within the fact that the Chinese believe in a force called Qi (pronounced chi). This is translated as vital energy and it is believed to flow within and outside our bodies in channels or meridians. The proper flow and balance of Qi is what makes our bodies function as they should. When Qi is blocked or trapped, our bodies get sick, and we have illness. This idea of Qi cannot be explained by Western Medicine through scientific reason alone, and therefore the medical Relay for Life spreads hope and cancer awareness field we are used to resorting to does not accept it as truth. However, this type of medicine has been practiced in China for thousands of years and has shown its benefits throughout the ages. Chinese medicine is a holistic approach that uses a number of unconventional treatments to balance Qi for the mind, body and spirit, not just the physical aspects of the human being. How can you become a part of the fight against cancer? Join the efforts made by the Relay for Life, and help raise money to find a cure for cancer. Medical science is far from finding a cure but is also making tremendous strides in getting closer to the ultimate goal. Also, many people are encouraging cancer patients to take a more holistic approach to healing their disease. WCU holds an annual Relay for Life walk and groups across campus are encouraged to participate and donate to the effort. April 8 is the scheduled date for WCUs Relay for Life 24-hour walk. To become involved in this effort contact Western's Relay for Life team at 227-2621.
