What is Cancer

In 1900 – 1 in 500 chances of getting cancer

According to the American Cancer Society (2003).

  • 50% of men will get cancer
  • 33% of women will get cancer

What is cancer?

  • An abnormal proliferation of genetically altered cells
  • A cancer cell ferments glucose (sugar) to get energy
  • Cancer cells break down glucose without oxygen
  • Cancer cells need to consume 15 times the amount of glucose

What is a carcinogen?

  • A “carcinogen” is anything that weakens or damages cell walls, allowing microbes to enter in.

What are tumors?

An abnormal growth of tissue serving no physiological function

  • Benign tumor– self-limiting growth
  • Malignant tumor – invades other tissues

Cancer progression

  • tumors grow locally
  • then spread to the lymph nodes
  • then to the rest of the body

What are the primary types of cancer?

  • Carcinoma- organ tissue
  • Sarcoma- connective tissue
  • Lymphoma- blood
  • Germ cell- testes, ovaries

Rates of Cancer in the USA

1,248,899 per year, 104,074 per month, 24,017 per week, 3,421 per day, 142 per hour, 2 per minute.

What are the steps in cancer formation?

1) Due to a weakened cell membrane, which can be caused by a carcinogen or many other things, a microbe is able to enter inside a normal cell

2) The microbe, once inside, intercepts the glucose (sugar) entering the cell (most microbes eat glucose)

3) The microbe excretes “mycotoxins,” dangerous hormones and a thick slime

4) Because mycotoxins are very acidic, the inside of the cell becomes highly acidic, which is a characteristic of cancer cells

5) The cell’s mitochondria (which convert glucose into energy) get very little glucose because the microbe has intercepted most of the glucose

6) What the cell’s mitochondria do get is lots of mycotoxins and other harmful garbage, which it cannot convert into energy,

7) The mitochondria’s energy level plummets because it is living in a sea of filth, meaning the overall cellular energy drops,

8) Signals are sent to the insulin receptors and glucose receptors on the cell membranes to grab more glucose,

9) More glucose enters the cell (about 15 times more),

10) The cell is now cancerous because its energy level drops and it is defined to be anaerobic.

Conventional Cancer Treatment

  • If you have a primary cancer (in one location only) the most optimistic statistics only give you 28% chances of recovery.
  • If you have metastic cancer (in more than one location) then your chances of recovery are one chance in one thousand to recover

National Cancer Institute defines “remission” as:

  • In complete remission, all signs and symptoms of cancer have disappeared, although cancer still may be in the body.”

NCI.NIH.gov/dictionary/db_alpha.aspx?expand=R

  • In partial remission, some, but not all, signs and symptoms of cancer have disappeared.
  • Success Is determined by the size of the tumor not the health of the patient
  • By simply diagnosing the disease earlier, “cure rates” go up

Cancer Research

Budgets

  • National Institute of Health –$ 28 billion
  • National Cancer Institute Budget 2007 – $4.8 billion = 25%
  • U.S. National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine Budget -  $121 million or .6 %

“Everyone should know that most cancer research is largely a fraud and that the major cancer research organizations are derelict in their duties to the people who support them.”

Linus Pauling PhD

(only two-time unshared Nobel Prize winner)

“A solution to cancer … would mortally threaten the present clinical establishments by rendering obsolete the expensive surgical, radiological and chemotherapeutic treatments in which so much money, training and equipment is invested.”

Nutritionist, Author Gary Null
