What causes cancer

[Guest guest]

Hi JoAnn,

I appreciate all your articles and imput into so many alternative

fields. I have been researching several cancer treating herbs and

have been overwhelmed by the vast amount of material. I am a

herbalist and registered nurse and have been researching and

teaching about supplements for the past 12 years.

 

Recently, I ran across a outstanding site for the paw paw herb

called www.pawpawresearch.com . It is not a sales site only a very

informative, very well designed site with multiple videos, tons of

research articles and video interviews. The interviews are with Dr.

Jerry McLaughlin and researcher from Perdue University who dedicated

most of his career to the research of this herb and how it works to

kill cancer and shut down the ATP in the cancer cell. Also, there

are video graphics of how cancer starts and spreads. This video

happens to be for breast cancer and it is outstanding

http://www.pawpawresearch.com/visual.htm#animation . I have heard

of several people personally using this herb to prolong and slow

cancer. This could be used in conjunction with several of the

therapies you've listed in your article.

 

I look forward to hearing for you. Keep on the quest to find the

lastest research to inform others how to care for themselves! Thank

you for all your information.

You may also wish to look at Graviola as it grows in the same region

and is part of the " Amazon Factors " for cancer treatments - blessings -

What Causes Cancer?

What causes cancer? When you think of all the things

that are known or assumed to be cancer-causing and put them

together–the list is pretty daunting. This summary comes straight from

the book Cancer: 101 Solutions to a Preventable Epidemic (New Society Publishers, 2007) by Liz Armstrong, Guy Dauncey and Anne Wordsworth.

This list does not claim to represent a complete

summary of the contributing factors; but it is an indication that are

many more factors than we usually think about. The good news is that

many are avoidable. What do you think of this list? Do you take issue

with any of the items here? Are there other items that you would add?

Lifestyle and Diet Factors

• Smoking and second-hand smoke.

• Diet–too much meat, not enough fruits and vegetables.

• Suntanning.

• Absence of UV sunlight in some regions, reducing cancer-protecting vitamin D.

• Obesity, and lack of regular exercise.

Other Food Factors

• Processed food such as nitrosamines, aspartame, some food colorants.

• Bovine growth hormone in milk.

• Some salt-cured, pickled, and smoked food.

• Sugar and alcohol consumption.

• Absence of cancer-protecting compounds in food not grown organically.

• Food contaminated with pesticides and herbicides.

Occupational Hazards

• Workplace exposure to carcinogens including solvents, heavy metals, radiation, pesticides, diesel fuel, benzene, asbestos.

Radiation

• Solar UV radiation from ozone depletion.

• Ionizing radiation from diagnostic x-rays, especially CT scans and mammograms; nuclear medicine, radiation therapy.

• Electromagnetic radiation from power lines, cell towers, cellphones, electronic devices (both wired and wireless).

• Ionizing radiation from uranium mining, nuclear power plants, atomic bomb tests, depleted uranium.

Air Pollution

• Carcinogens such as benzene, diesel vehicle exhaust, coal-fired power

emissions, asbestos fibres, industrial chemicals, incinerators,

pesticides, soot, wood dust, indoor air pollutants.

Water Pollutants

• Carcinogens such as chlorine by-products, industrial chemicals, heavy

metals, pesticide residues, fluoride, arsenic, hormone-disrupting

chemicals, coal-fired power wastes.

Toxic Products

• Toxic chemicals in household products such as cosmetics,

fire-retardants, non-stick agents, solvents, cleaning products,

building products.

• Plasticizers such as bisphenol A and phthalates in various plastic

food containers, water coolers and bottles, children's toys, teethers,

dental sealants, canned foods.

• Some drugs including immunosuppressants, birth control pills, hormone

pills, hormone replacement therapy, androgenic steroids,

anti-depressants, proton pump inhibitors, behavior modifying drugs and

drugs used to treat cancer.

Natural Carcinogens

• Foods contaminated with fungal aflatoxins.

• Various phytochemicals in food.

• Chewing betel nuts.

• Radon gas leaking into buildings.

• Cosmic and solar radiation.

Infectious Agents

• Infectious agents such as hepatitis B and C, HIV, human papilloma virus.

Reduced Immunity

• Toxic substances that weaken the immune system's ability to fight cancer.

Endocrine/Hormone Disrupters

• Endocrine disrupting chemicals in air, water, and consumer products.

• Increased exposure to a woman's (endogenous) estrogens.

• Loss of darkness related to rotating shift work, reducing cancer-protecting hormone melatonin.

Other Factors

• Windows of vulnerability: Exposure to toxic substances pre-conceptually, in utero, during infancy, during puberty.

• Family history of cancer–shared habits, shared pollution, shared genes.

• Parental and grandparental exposure to contaminants, causing faulty epigenetic expression.

• Poverty.

• Living near toxic sources.

• Genetic variability–some people are more vulnerable than others.
