What is Cancer?

Cancer is known as a condition, which is caused by the uncontrolled division of cells. As humans, we have tumor suppressor genes which actually prevent cancer by slowing down the growth of cells or stopping the growth altogether.

In a normal human body, cells divide at a certain rate in order to place old dying cells, while maintaining homeostasis. When there is a change in DNA, and the tumor suppressor gene is defective, cells begin to grow and divide uncontrollably (Mader, 2007).

When cancer cells divide, they require food and water, and even attracts blood vessels, when cells grow and divide uncontrollably the cancer cells begin to compete with normal somatic cells (Dollinger, 2002).

A Review: Burt's Bees Body Butter

I use a lot of lotions, oils and body butter, but Burts Bees Body Butter is one of my favorites. My grandmother has really dry skin, while I have normal skin.  I use lotions every day, so I classify them all as moisturizers.

Although its thick, it's not greasy, and it continues to moisturize throughout the day. A little bit goes a long way. I like the scent; it’s the all natural scent that I am used to. I’ve been using all natural products for years, I’m used to the pleasant smell, its natural.

I'm a caregiver (duh), and just because I work at home, it doesn’t mean I don’t follow protocol when it comes to disinfecting, cleaning and of course washing my hands many times throughout the day. I think because I've been using this and other lotions my hands remain in pretty good condition.

I just wanted to put it out there that this brand it's reputable, and if you're looking for anything for yourself or your parents, check this one out.
