What is the Cause of Cancer?
Following my partner, Glenn's, diagnosis with an aggressive form
of cancer, my hours of research led me to discover a series of
medical researchers who have come to the conclusion that cancer
is a metabolic disease.
A metabolic disease is one that develops as a result of our
metabolism becoming corrupted. Simply put - metabolism is "the
chemical processes occurring within a living cell or organism
that are necessary for the maintenance of life."
The medical researchers suggest that the metabolism becomes
corrupted because the raw ingredients, that is the nutritional
elements, required for the chemical processes are either missing
or not available in sufficient quantity.
Their assertion is that what we call "illness" is simply a
result of the body's survival response "gone wrong" caused by
our body not having the nutritional elements to continue life or
to heal itself in a healthy manner.
History is full of examples of diseases cured by increasing
certain nutritional elements: . Scurvy which is prevented and
reversed by increasing Vitamin C . Pellagra prevented and
treated with Vitamin B3 (that is niacin) . Beriberi prevented
and treated with Vitamin B1 or thiamine . Pernicious anaemia
which is treated with Vitamin B12
So what about Cancer?
The researchers say that when we suffer an injury, either
internal or external, the body goes in to a healing process that
becomes corrupted.
The mechanics of this are that oestrogen in the body triggers
certain cells to become trophoblastic i.e. to multiply faster
than normal, to heal the wound. We actually see this happen
whenever we suffer a cut to our skin.
Normally this accelerated cell production is terminated when the
wound is healed. However if certain elements are not present in
the body, specifically pancreatic enzymes, then the cells
continue to multiply, creating a mass or tumour.
If the body finally catches up and stops the trophoblastic
cells, the mass is found to be benign or no longer active. If
the cells are still proliferating we call it malignant.
This research indicates therefore, that cancer is simply an
unterminated healing process caused by the lack of the basic
nutritional elements the body uses to create pancreatic enzymes.
This is also the explanation given as to why, so often, surgery
to remove tumours actually results in it spreading even further.
Obviously, the surgery creates more wound sites, which trigger
(and release) yet more uncontrolled trophoblastic cells that
result in more cancer.
Take it a step further by looking at the common medical
treatments of radiation therapy and chemotherapy.
Radiation therapy (a form of burning) simply creates even more
wound sites and yet more opportunities for further corrupted
healing processes.
Chemotherapy impacts drastically on the body's immune system,
reducing even further the body's natural ability to heal.
All of which of course, simply increases the chances of more
cancer, usually of the more virulent types known as secondaries.
Using a nutritional approach not only has none of these negative
side effects, but also, of course, actually supports the bodys
own natural healing processes.
