Going beyond Basics in Understanding Cancer
Going beyond basics in understanding cancer is a step in the right direction. The basics consist of misinformation, and can be costing thousands of people their lives. The American Cancer Society has been a staunch defender of the screening efforts underway. They also promote the current treatment as the proper ones. The one thing they don’t do is understand the nature of cancer. For if they did it would undermine their work.
Their website is now being worked on to state that screening for breast and prostate cancer plus numerous other types can come with a risk of being over treated, while the test can miss more aggressive ones. Skip to next paragraph “We don’t want people to panic,” said Dr. Otis Brawley, chief medical officer of the cancer society. “But I’m admitting that American medicine has over promised when it comes to screening. The advantages to screening have been exaggerated.”
This is the big problem for the cancer industry, but good for the population to know. However, this proves what alternative practitioners have been saying for a long time. Change the internal terrain, and you stand a good chance of getting this condition under control. The medical industry is finding that there are cancers that found will not spread if left alone. By relentless screening there is an increase in diagnoses, and treatment of harmless conditions.
While at the same time the screening test has not cut the number of cancers that are virulent, and dangerous. Lethal cancers can grow fast, and can spring up between testing. At this time it is not clear which tumors need the aggressive treatment and which can be left alone. This whole premise is already wrong. The aggressive cancers are growing because of the internal conditions that exist.
.“The issue here is, as we look at cancer medicine over the last 35 or 40 years, we have always worked to treat cancer or to find cancer early,” Dr. Brawley said. “And we never sat back and actually thought, ‘Are we treating the cancers that need to be treated?”
The very idea that some cancers are not dangerous and some might actually go away on their own can be hard to swallow, researchers say. It is even harder for the general population to come to terms with the travesty. “It is so counterintuitive that it raises debate every time it comes up and every time it has been observed,” said Dr. Barnett Kramer, associate director for disease prevention at the National Institutes of Health. ”It was first raised as a theoretical possibility in the 1970s, Dr. Kramer said. Then it was documented in a rare pediatric cancer, but was dismissed as something peculiar to that cancer. Then it was discovered in common cancers as well, but it is still not always accepted or appreciated,” he said.
The funny part if there is one; is that it is not counterintuitive. This is common sense, the body can heal itself. It recovers from colds, flu, wounds, and other conditions. There is no doubt that people have found relief from conditions by changing their lifestyle. Health problems do not come out of thin air. The only reason they appear to is that most of the times the cause is not understood. Cancer is not well understood, and there are various theories afloat. The wellness industry recognizes that it can retreat when the conditions that initiated it are changed.
Here is the problem, when you treat an innocuous tumor you are creating more problems. By trying to stop an innocuous tumor you are knocking out an entire immune system. The very one that is keeping tumors at bay. What this does is makes the body work to recover from the toxic treatments. Innocent cells are killed, and what has been knocked out is an immune system. If the treatment consists of just an operation to rid the body of the tumor immense harm is still done.
The claim that cells do not escape in surgery is not clinically proven. These cells can not be seen. This is the case of “UH-OH” we goofed again. To take the word of the all these so called “experts” is easier, simpler, and faster than doing your own research. However, it will spare you untold suffering if you take care of yourself. Allopathic medicine comes with a price, in both dollars and suffering. Going beyond basics in understanding cancer means doing research, and questioning the status quo.
