Cancer - One in two men and one in three women will get it. What to do?
There is nothing that puts more fear in people than a
diagnosis of Cancer. Statistically speaking, we now have
one in two chances (male) or one in three chances (female)
of getting cancer before the end of our life (American
Cancer Society statistics for the year 2003). At the
beginning of the 20th century, statistics gave us one in
500 chances of getting cancer.
All cancers considered, if you have a primary cancer (in
one location only) the most optimistic statistics only give
you 28% chances of recovery. If you have metastatic cancer
(in more than one location) then your chances of recovery
are 0.1% or in other words, one chance in one thousand to
recover - (statistics from Dr Philip Binzel book "Alive and
Well" published by American Media).
The news is bleak to say the least. However, as we will see
later on, this need not be the case.
Ever since I can remember, I have read newspaper articles,
heard claims on TV or radio, reporting new "wonder" cures
on the war against cancer. Victory against this terrible
disease was, according to these reports, just around the
corner. Why is it then that so many people are still dying
from this disease? Are the 600 UK cancer charities (The
largest UK charities being Imperial Cancer Research Fund,
Cancer Research Campaign and Institute of Cancer Research)
lying to us?
The "American Cancer Society" is the richest charity in the
world. All debts paid, it would still have half a billion
dollars in the bank!
Linus Pauling, the winner of two Nobel prizes, seemed to
think so when he said: "Everyone should know that most
cancer research is largely a fraud and that the major
cancer research organisations are derelict in their duties
to the people who support them."
What is Cancer?
Modern researchers have for many years been exploring the
virus connection at a cost of billions of dollars and
pounds. The pitiful result is that "no cancer that was
incurable 25 years ago is curable today and that, for the
most common cancers that kills 90% of patients today
chemotherapy is no better than snake oil" (The Cancer
Handbook. What Doctors don't tell you publication. By Lynne
Taggart).
When you are diagnosed with cancer, what the doctor is
really saying is that you have one or several tumours in
your body and that at least one of the tumours contains
some cancer cells. They see the tumours as the enemy that
has to be fought and destroyed and all their efforts are
directed against eradicating the tumours.
What is a tumour though? A tumour is only a symptom; it
shows that something has gone wrong in your body and that
your immune system is no longer available to fight it. Many
researchers claim that we all have tumours in our body and
that several times in our life we get cancer. However, we
do not all die from cancer. The reason is that our body's
defence mechanism spring into action when a tumour is
formed and gets rid of it or at least neutralises it. If
cancer cells are beginning to form, these are killed off by
our immune system and all is back to normal.
However if for some reason our immune system is severely
deficient and we are unable to fight off the formation of
the cancerous cells, then disease spreads.
What needs to be done to fight the tumour is not so much to
remove it (surgery), burn it (radiation) or poison it
(chemotherapy) as all these will weaken our immune system
(damaging both our liver and kidneys to a point where it is
difficult for our body to fight off any health problem).
But to find out why the tumour formed in the first place
and remove the cause.
Fighting it according to Dr Binzel is no good, our body now
has in its memory the recipe to form tumours and uses the
negative ingredients we feed it with to form new tumours
and it will rarely stop doing so unless we remove the
cause. The lack of positive ingredients (Vitamins, minerals
and essential enzymes) to fight off the tumour is just as
important.
Let me compare this reasoning with the simple example of a
tooth infection. There is no point in taking painkillers to
fix the tooth. I grant you that they will probably relieve
the pain but I profess that they will not cure the tooth.
What needs to be done is to get rid of the infection with
antibiotics or have the tooth removed.
What do cancer cells feed on?
Several factors such as diet, negative emotions/ stress and
environmental toxins are usually responsible for the
development of cancer. Dietary speaking, cancer cells need
food to survive. Dr Otto Warburg received the Nobel Prize
for scientifically proving that cancer feed from the
fermentation of sugar:
"in cancer cells [the feeding] is replaced by an
energy-yielding reaction of the lowest living forms;
namely, a fermentation of glucose" (quoted in prevention -
May 1968).
According to Macrobiotic medicine theory, cancer cells also
feed on animal protein (all types of meat, especially
chicken but also very much on dairy, eggs etc..)
Detecting cancer
Currently, surgeons often perform a biopsy when cancer is
suspected. A biopsy is a way of extracting a quantity of
matter from a tumour and test it to see if it is cancerous.
The problem with this method is that if the tumour is
cancerous and the tumour is punctured, there is a definite
risk that the cancerous liquid will spread to surrounding
cells and spread the cancer around the body (Roger Delin -
medical analyst - Philippines.
Breast cancer is often diagnosed using a mammogram. The
main manufacturer of mammographic equipment is a company
called "Smarlight Mammographics". They state: "We expected
error rates to be around 30%, but the wide range of results
(10%-90%) was an eye-opener." Amazing admission from the
largest manufacturer of what is considered as the ultimate
test to detect breast cancer. Unbelievable !
It is interesting to learn that autopsies have shown that
many undetected cancers were present in the body of people
who died from other causes. This makes a mockery of medical
statistics and confirms that in fact a substantial number
of cancers are never detected and do not obligatorily cause
death.
A Swedish study has revealed that 15% of major cancers were
not revealed before death and around half were of a type
normally considered fatal (ref: wddty).
Modern approach and progress on cancer
The modern approach to treat cancer is surgery, radiation,
chemotherapy, hormones and immunotherapy. The percentage of
oncologists (cancer doctors) who would not participate in
chemotherapy trials is an alarming 75% (due to its
toxicity). (John Robbins - "The source of true healing")
The progresses made were, it appears more due to the
temporary reduction in tumour size rather than in an
increase in the life expectancy for the patient. No
mentions were made however of the increased suffering
caused by the side effects of the drugs taken.
2- Statistics
Statistics from the American Cancer Society
* 556,500 cancer deaths were expected in 2003 in the United
States alone (more than 1,500 a day)
* About 1,334,100 new cancers were expected in the USA for
2003 (excluding skin cancers)
* 17,000,000 Americans developed cancer between 1990 and
2002
* Despite billions of $ and £ being spent on research,
there was only a 1.4% decrease in cancer deaths between
1989 and 1995. Very poor considering more cancers were
detected (and detected earlier) using sophisticated methods.
*Estimates for 2003 was that 1,000,000 people would get
skin cancer
*The cost of cancer for year 2000 was $180.2 billion (USA
alone). $60 billion for direct medical costs, 15 billion
for indirect morbidity costs (cost of lost productivity due
to illness) and $105.2 billion for indirect mortality costs
(cost of lost productivity due to premature death).
* About 211,300 new breast cancers diagnosis were expected
in 2003
3- What to do to protect yourself or help beat cancer?
The American Cancer Society stated on their web site for
the year 2003 statistics that three quarter of all cancers
are due to poor Diet and Environmental causes.
I personally would also include "Negative Emotions Stress"
as being a major cause of cancer and increase this figure
to: "Over 90% of all cancers are due to poor diet, negative
emotions and environmental factors" (my own opinion based
on years observations).
To protect yourself from cancer or help yourself if you
have cancer, you must:
1- Change your diet
2- Work on your emotions
3- Get rid of your (home) environmental toxins
4- Replenish your energy with natural therapies or remedies
