What Is Cancer, Anyway?

Cancer is not some foreign invader which has to be cut, burned
or poisoned in hopes that it will die before the patient dies.
No, cancer is simply a temporoary malfunction in your normal
cell division process.

Each of has about 75 trillion cells in our body. Virtually all
of them replace themselves many times during our lifetimes. How
many cells? Well, it’s 75,000,000,000,000. That’s a lot. They
have various life cycles, but in about 7 years, they have all
been regenerated. Amazing? I’ll say!

So, on an average day, about 29 billion cells in your body
replace themselves by dividing in two. One of the cells
resulting from that division dies off.

CELL DAMAGE OR “MUTATION”

In our bodies all day every day are lots of “free radicals.”
These little rascals are molecules which have one unpaired
oxygen electron in their atomic makeup. They are produced by
our digestive system, the air we breathe, the food we eat, the
water we drink and so on. In other words, we can’t avoid them.

These “free radicals” bounce around, bumping into normal cells,
and, in the process, damaging the normal cells DNA. Literally
millions of our dividing cells get damaged every day — some
by free radicals, some by viruses and some by just normal cell
breakdown due to aging or inherited gene mutation (this latter
is rare). Fortunately, our cell division policing process
recognizes these “incorrect” cell divisions and kills them off,
most of the time.

HOW WE “GET” CANCER

About a million or so of the damaged cells each day are damaged
in such a way that the “oncogenes,” the hundred or so genes (out
of the 33,000 or so in each cell’s DNA) which control cell death,
get damaged. When this happens, the cell begins to grow out of
control. It becomes a cancer cell. Our immune system (about 20
trillion cells strong) normally recognizes this and takes care
of it every day, until it can’t anymore. Then, we “get” cancer.

Actually, all of us “have” cancer every day. It is controlled
and gives us no symptoms. When symptoms (a tumor, for example)
show up, it means that our metabolism (cell division and cell
death)has temporarily broken down. A tumor with a billion cells
is about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. By
the time a tumor is diagnosed, it has usually been growing for
from 5 to 12 years. Far from a death sentence or something
requiring instant, emergency, radical treatment, this “getting”
cancer is a wakeup call.

The key to understanding and controlling cancer is that it is a
“systemic” problem. Our entire system has broken down. Killing
the cancer cells (with chemotherapy and radiation, for example)
is not going to restore our system to its normal balance. In
fact, those “treatments” simply make the condition worse by
severely damaging what is left of our immune system.

Once one understands this, our current conventional cancer treat-
ment system makes no sense.

WHAT DO ONCOLOGISTS DO?

An “oncologist” is supposed to be a cancer doctor. But their
training and practice does not include studying and understanding
the cancer cell and its relationship to the rest of the body’s
cellular mechanics and communication. Cellular biology is a very
complex and fascinating body of knowledge which is growing rapidly.

If the oncologist understood the above, they would be looking for
a way to reverse that cell physiology gently and in a non-toxic
way (assuming they were honest and open-minded). That is how
cancer is brought back under control — gently and permanently. fenbendazole 222mg capsules for humans
