What do you think causes cancer?

[DanBev]

In the 50's and before you could draw a circle around the area where your food came from maybe 100 miles,if not grown and raised by you.Ever since chemical laden food,no surprise about cancer.Read your labels before buying.

[MaggieZ]

everyone's born with cells that could become cancerous. I think our hurried lifestyle has a lot to do with it..the stress, the processed foods we gulp down, the chemicals added to get people hooked on things, the airpolution, all of it. I think you can't really do much to change it except try to live as healthy as possible and don't sweat the small stuff in life. Cancer's a sign of the times.

"Acidosis" is the scientific term for a body that has a pH below 7.0. In this state, the body is deprived of oxygen causing one to be more susceptible to colds, flus and other diseases/infections. This state also contributes to accelerated aging.

Our modern lives give us ample opportunity to become acidic. Commonly-consumed acid-forming foods and beverages include meat, dairy products, sugar, coffee and alcohol. Environmental exposure to solvents, herbicides, pesticides and other chemical toxins boost our tendency to become acidic.

Acidosis is the cause of America's #2 killer-cancer. In order to understand the basics of cancer, we must first understand the acid/alkaline balance. Understanding the acid/alkaline balance, the following summary makes perfect sense: THE PRIMARY CAUSE OF CANCER is the replacement of the respiration of oxygen in normal body cells by a fermentation of sugar.

Over 75 years ago, Dr. Otto Warburg was awarded two Nobel prizes for demonstrating that cancer results when weakened cell respiration occurs due to lack of oxygen at the cellular level. According to Warburg, damaged cell respiration causes fermentation, resulting in low pH at the cellular level.

Dr. Warburg, in his Nobel Prize winning papers, described the environment of the cancer cell: A normal healthy cell undergoes an adverse change when it can no longer take in oxygen to convert glucose into energy. In the absence of oxygen, the cell reverts to a primal nutritional program to nourish itself by converting glucose through the process of fermentation. The lactic acid produced by fermentation lowers the cell pH and destroys the ability of DNA and RNA to control cell division. Cancer cells then begin to multiply without restraint.

The lactic acid simultaneously causes severe local pain as it destroys cell enzymes; the cancer appears as a rapidly-growing external cell covering with a core of dead cells. We know cell masses of this description as "tumors."

Subsequent research by Keith Brewer, Ph.D and H.E. Satori has shown that cancer cannot exist when the body's pH is raised to 8.0.

Dr. Brewer developed a protocol to therapeutically raise pH with the element cesium in conjunction with potassium.

Yes, living does cause cancer because to HAVE cancer you must BE alive.

I think the main causes of cancer are:

Poor nutrition
Hormone disrupters (BPA, Birth Control, Our meats, among many things)
Smoking (tobacco AND marijuana
Drugs/Medication/prescribed or over the counter
Too much sun
Too little sun
Toxic chemicals in our beauty products (Parabans for example)
Radiation (xrays)
Ultrusounds and other hospital bologna
Pollution/air/water
Pesticides
Herbicides
Vaccines
UNTREATED STD'S
Not breastfeeding (for the woman AND the baby/child)
Fluoride (ingesting not necessarily treatments for adults)
Excessive alcohol consumption

Deprive a healthy human cell of 60% of its oxygen and it will become cancerous.

All Cancer in the human body is the result of inadequate amounts of oxygen at the cellular level.

increase the amount of oxygen at the cellular level and cells no longer become cancerous.

increasing the oxygen to the cells can be done simply and inexpensively. materia medica and the pharma companies are robbing you blind and profiting obscenely from your misery because of your lack of knowledge regarding the root cause of all cancer.

radiation, chemotherapy and pharmaceutical drugs do NOTHING to address the root cause of cancer.

Excellent answer. Oxygen is vital and that is why exercise is so important.

Chemo only cures cancer a measly 2% of the time. This means 98% of the time it is pretty worthless (to the patient) but lucrative to the medical world.

Please post the specific reference where that 2% is quoted as fact. Thank you.

Based on the people I know personally who have gone the chemo route, this seems like a bloated number. I suspect that it is actually closer to 1%.

Is Chemotherapy Effective?

Basically, the authors found that the contribution of chemotherapy to 5-year survival in adults was 2.3 percent in Australia, and 2.1 percent in the USA.

For this reason, I think adopting a healthy vegan diet (no meat or dairy) is ESSENTIAL to recover your health. And lots of exercise and sunshine.

I have a good friend who was diagnosed with advanced ovarian cancer and was told she was inoperable and had not long to live. They recommended chemo but she said no to that. She immediately adopted a vegan diet and used various supplements. 18 months later she was found to be CANCER-FREE. That was 20 years ago and she is still my friend and extremely healthy today.

Thanks. The study ran from 1990 to 2005. The effectiveness of chemo in the early 90's is nowhere near what it is today as the drugs used are completely different. Many didn't exist until after 2000 and some combinations are only now being found as effective as they are.

However, your agenda is to push the vegan lifestyle, which is fine for those interested. As I am not interested in becoming vegan, I will just thank you and move along.

I would like to see new studies on this. Cancer care has improved by leaps and bounds in the last 10 years.

Looking at the source its a nutritional site and stand gain just like the big drug companies.

I know that chemo works. It is effective in many cases. I am not so quick to dismiss treatments of any kind. However to dismiss chemo because of your agenda is foolish.
