Mangosteen - the Rising Sun in Our Fight Against Cancer!

Is cancer dreadful? The answer is obviously affirmative! As far as this potentially fatal disease is concerned, we earthlings are just like walking on a minefield - no one knows who will be the next victim in the next second!

In Taiwan alone, one patient is diagnosed to have suffered from cancer every other ten minutes. As there are 6 ten minutes in an hour, we have 144 ten-minutes in a day. It works out that each year, we have 52,560 individuals confirms to be cancer patients, of whom the great majority is expected to eventually die from the dreadful disease.

From whichever angle you look at it - economy, technology, environment, and medical care, you name it - Japan is a force to reckon with in the international arena. However, in the face of the deadly threat from cancer, this developed country is mercilessly rendered a lame duck like others. This is evident from Japan - mortality rate of 3:1 (a much higher ratio compared with 4:1 of Taiwan) bring attributed to cancer. With this alarming statistics, the concerned masses are keen to know exactly how many people in Japan are suffering from cancer as of today? In a recent TV forum expounding on topics related to cancer and based on the disturbing figure (mortality rate of 3:1 bring attributed to cancer), a group of Japanese researchers inferred that among the entire populace of Japan, an average of 1 in every 2 persons could be cancer patient. This may appear to be somewhat exaggerated, but researchers have justified it through logical deduction. The ration is: while 1 in every 3 of the death toll is attributed to cancer, it must not be ruled out that the other 2 - whose direct causes of death might have been medically recorded as accidents, drowning, suicide, heart diseases, cerebrohemorrhage, or any other deadly diseases -could also possibly be suffering from cancer before they died. Just image! 1 in every 2 Japanese is likely to be a cancer patient!
