Cancer is Getting Harder to Beat and Avoid

By Tony Isaacs

In recent years, statistical cancer death rates have been showing decreases for some cancers in some parts of the world, which has led some people to optimistically report that cancer is getting easier to beat. Nothing could be farther from the truth.

As noted in "Hiding the Truth about Losing the War on Cancer", statistics can be manipulated and often have been by those with vested interests in maintaining the illusion that we are turning the corner, or that a cure is just around that elusive corner, in the decades long and mostly failed war on cancer.

The statistics which tell the real story are those which clearly show that the incidence of cancer continues to grow alarmingly, as does the expected worldwide cancer deaths. Between one in two and one in three people are now expected to encounter cancer in their lifetimes.

According to the WHO's World Cancer Report, considered to be the most comprehensive global examination of the disease to date, cancer rates could further increase by 50% to 15 million new cases in the year 2020.

Many people, including this author, believe that a great deal of the credit for declining death rates is a result of more people looking outside the failed mainstream therapies box and relying on natural and alternative means to address their cancers. As the aforementioned WHO report also noted, there was "provides clear evidence that healthy lifestyles and public health action by governments and health practitioners could stem this trend, and prevent as many as one third of cancers worldwide."

The good news is that, thank to website like this one and the writers and others who are spreading the good word, an increasing number of people are learning about, and turning to, natural and alternative therapies. The bad news is that alternative, non-mainstream, non-toxic and non-invasive therapies continue to be repressed and misrepresented in mainstream studies. The further bad news is that even those who do learn the truth about alternatives are often finding cancer is getting harder to avoid and beat. Though this article is primarily about cancer, the same is true for heart disease and other major chronic illness, and for pretty much the same reasons: we continue to become exposed to more and more toxins and pollution, live unhealthy lifestyles and eat diets that are less nutritionally sound. As a result, our immune systems and our vitality continue to decline – and regardless of any treatment, herb or therapy, mainstream or otherwise, it is our immune system, nature's first line of defense against illness, that is the most important key to beating and avoiding cancer.

People do not beat and avoid cancer nor get other illnesses due to a deficiency in chemotherapy or deficiencies in mainstream medicine. They get cancer and become ill because toxins and diseases beat their immune systems. As data from the CDC and other have shown, our immune systems are becoming progressively weaker, the same as male sperm count is progressively declining. In 1981, Dr. H. F. Pross did a study of the average Natural Killer (NK) count of average Americans. NK count is measured in lytic units (LU), and Dr. Pross found that the average LU count in 1981 was 152. In 1991, Dr. R. B. Herberman did a similar study and found that the LU count had dropped to 135. In 1997, Dr. Gerald See did another study and found the count had dropped to 108. In other words, we are dropping at about the rate of 1 LU per year. Which means that the average LU count in 2009 is likely to be somewhere around 96 – which would be an alarming drop of 37% in less than three decades!

Other than earlier detection and including some easily remedied forms of cancer that were once considered simply pre-cancerous conditions, little real progress has been made by the use of mainstream invasive and toxic therapies of surgery, chemotherapy and radiation - all which have been shown to increase the spread of cancer and weaken the body to pave the way for further cancer, particularly the latter two (chemo and radiation).

Most people are likely unaware that virtually all chemotherapy drugs are themselves classified as Class 1 carcinogens! And radiation merely destroys our bone marrow that is the heart of our immune system.

A strong immune system from proper diet and nutrition, a healthy lifestyle, elimination of stress, and proper supplementation and nutrition, is still the best way to avoid and beat cancer, especially when buttressed by herbal immune boosters and cancer fighters. But it takes diligence and effort – more so now than ever before.

Cancer and the world we live in have changed a lot during the past 50 years and for that reason we do not seem to see the same successes with some of the famed treatments of prior decades, like the outstanding Budwig Diet protocol, Essiac tea, Hoxsey, Gerson, etc. Cancer appears to be getting harder to avoid and harder to beat once acquired. That is likely due to a number of factors.

One problem, and a very big one, is one we will likely have to live with for centuries: the amount of radiation now found in virtually every square inch of the earth's surface as a result of the atmospheric atomic bomb blasts that spewed millions of tons of radioactive material into our environment. Two time Nobel Laureate Linus Pauling warned of millions of deaths and injuries that could be expected as a result of atmospheric bomb tests. He was rewarded by having the State Department pull his passports. A pre-eminent Russian scientist and later Nobel Laureate himself, Andrei Sakharov, predicted between half a million and one million deaths for every 50 megatons of atmospheric bomb tests (ultimately the tests of the United States and Russia combined to produce fallout equivalent to 40,000 Hiroshimas). Instead of having his passports pulled, Sakharov received a free trip and vacation from the state – an exile to a Siberian Gulag for the next 20 plus years, that is

I loved this article.  People also don’t

read Natural News everyday and pay attention to it.  Even Dr. Mercola has some

important topics that are really worth reading.  These two newsletters are

worth much more than the NY Times or any other big news rag!!!  Plus, they tell

the truth which is something the mainstream papers won’t do.

Most people don’t understand (or don’t

want to bother) that staying healthy and eating right is just as important as

anything else you have to do each day – and even more important. As Jimmy

Buffett says, “You treat your body like a temple, I treat mine like a

tent”.

Cancer is Getting Harder to Beat and Avoid

By Tony Isaacs

In

recent years, statistical cancer death rates have been

showing decreases for some cancers in some parts of the world, which has

led some people to optimistically report that cancer is getting easier to

beat. Nothing could be farther from the truth.

As

noted in " Hiding the

Truth about Losing the War on Cancer " , statistics can be manipulated and often have

been by those with vested interests in maintaining the illusion that we are

turning the corner, or that a cure is just around that elusive corner, in the

decades long and mostly failed war on cancer.

The

statistics which tell the real story are those which clearly show that the

incidence of cancer continues to grow alarmingly, as does the expected

worldwide cancer deaths. Between one in two and one in three people are

now expected to encounter cancer in their lifetimes.

According

to the WHO's World Cancer Report, considered to be the most comprehensive

global examination of the disease to date, cancer rates could further increase

by 50% to 15 million new cases in the year 2020.

Many

people, including this author, believe that a great deal of the credit for

declining death rates is a result of more people looking outside the failed

mainstream therapies box and relying on natural and alternative means to

address their cancers. As the aforementioned WHO report also noted, there

was " provides clear evidence that healthy lifestyles and public health action

by governments and health practitioners could stem this trend, and prevent as

many as one third of cancers worldwide. "

The

good news is that, thank to website like this one and the writers and others

who are spreading the good word, an increasing number of people are learning

about, and turning to, natural and alternative therapies. The bad news is

that alternative, non-mainstream, non-toxic and non-invasive therapies continue

to be repressed and misrepresented in mainstream studies. The further bad

news is that even those who do learn the truth about alternatives are often

finding cancer is getting harder to avoid and beat. Though this article

is primarily about cancer, the same is true for heart disease and other major

chronic illness, and for pretty much the same reasons: we continue to

become exposed to more and more toxins and pollution, live unhealthy lifestyles

and eat diets that are less nutritionally sound. As a result, our immune

systems and our vitality continue to decline – and regardless of any

treatment, herb or therapy, mainstream or otherwise, it is our immune system,

nature's first line of defense against illness, that is the most important key

to beating and avoiding cancer.

 

People

do not beat and avoid cancer nor get other illnesses due to a deficiency in

chemotherapy or deficiencies in mainstream medicine. They get cancer and

become ill because toxins and diseases beat their immune systems. As data

from the CDC and other have shown, our immune systems are becoming progressively

weaker, the same as male sperm count is progressively declining. In 1981,

that the average LU count in 1981 was 152. In 1991, Dr. R. B. Herberman

1 LU per year. Which means that the average LU count in 2009 is

likely to be somewhere around 96 – which would be an alarming drop of 37%

in less than three decades!

 

Other

than earlier detection and including some easily remedied forms of cancer that

were once considered simply pre-cancerous conditions, little real progress has

been made by the use of mainstream invasive and toxic therapies of surgery,

chemotherapy and radiation - all which have been shown to increase the spread

of cancer and weaken the body to pave the way for further cancer, particularly

the latter two (chemo and radiation).

Most

people are likely unaware that virtually all chemotherapy drugs are themselves

classified as Class 1 carcinogens! And radiation merely destroys our bone

marrow that is the heart of our immune system.

 

A

strong immune system from proper diet and nutrition, a healthy lifestyle,

elimination of stress, and proper supplementation and nutrition, is still the

best way to avoid and beat cancer, especially when buttressed by herbal immune

boosters and cancer fighters. But it takes diligence and effort –

more so now than ever before.

Cancer

and the world we live in have changed a lot during the past 50 years and for

that reason we do not seem to see the same successes with some of the famed

treatments of prior decades, like the outstanding Budwig Diet protocol, Essiac

tea, Hoxsey, Gerson, etc. Cancer appears to be getting harder to avoid

and harder to beat once acquired. That is likely due to a number of

factors.

 

One

problem, and a very big one, is one we will likely have to live with for

centuries: the amount of radiation now found in virtually every square

inch of the earth's surface as a result of the atmospheric atomic bomb blasts

that spewed millions of tons of radioactive material into our

environment. Two time Nobel Laureate Linus Pauling warned of millions of

deaths and injuries that could be expected as a result of atmospheric bomb

tests. He was rewarded by having the State Department pull his

passports. A pre-eminent Russian scientist and later Nobel Laureate

himself, Andrei Sakharov, predicted between half a million and one

million deaths for every 50 megatons of atmospheric bomb tests (ultimately the

tests of the United States

and Russia

combined to produce fallout equivalent to 40,000

Hiroshimas). Instead of having his passports pulled, Sakharov

received a free trip and vacation from the state – an exile to a Siberian

Gulag for the next 20 plus years, that is.

In

addition to the radiation from nuclear bomb tests that will stay with us for

ages, we are increasingly being bombarded with microwaves and high power

transmission lines, which industry is recently beginning to lose their decades

long cover up of the dangers they have known such technology presented.

Add

to that the fact that our industrial age has added no fewer than 80,000

unnatural chemical compounds to our environment, less than 1,000 of which have

been tested individually in any way for safety and almost none of which

have been tested in combination with one another.

Next,

you have about 20,000 FDA approved medications (both prescribed and over

the counter) which have been mostly poorly tested for safety individually,

scarcely tested for carcinogenic/mutagenic short or long term dangers, and

almost none of which have been tested in combination with each other.

Over 95% of all FDA approved medications have known side effects by themselves.

In combination, one can only imagine what short and long term side-effects

could result – and one is reminded that many chronic conditions are years

in the making. Some cancers, for example, take eight years after they

have gained a foothold to grow to the size of a pinhead (after which, the

doubling rate increases their size much faster).

 

Then

there are the foods and nutrition we tend to consume (or not consume as the

case may be). The food products on the grocers shelves have by and

large had the nutrition processed out and additives processed in for added

shelf life, flavor, color and texture. The ones that claim to be

" enriched " with vitamins and minerals are enriched mostly with

synthetic petro-chemical vitamins and crushed rock minerals - not natural ones

or ones that have been pre-digested by plants to be bio-available for human

benefit.

 

Our

fruit and vegetables are picked early and artificially ripened/preserved with

chemicals - plus they often contain pesticides and/or herbicides and come from

over-farmed soils which severely lack the major and trace minerals needed for

optimum nutrition. Increasingly, our major food crops are being genetically

modified to enable them to withstand more and more of such pesticides and

herbicides. Increasingly, vital enzymes and other natural compounds are being

destroyed by irradiation to " protect us " from natural crops.

Our

mineral depleted and over-farmed soils usually they have just a few

petro-chemical synthetics added back to the soil which produce the best growth,

but lack the best nutrients. Pesticides, herbicides and other chemicals

have killed off the vital soil micro-organisms needed to convert what

minerals do remain to usable forms to be taken up by the plants.

Those micro-organisms which do remain seldom have adequate time to perform

their vital roles thanks to over-farming and lack of proper crop rotation.

 

Today,

most of us are deficient in most vital trace minerals needed for optimum health

and many major minerals and vitamins as well. Thanks to the totally

overboard scares about the danger of exposure to the sun, most of us are

woefully deficient in Vitamin D3 - instead slathering on sunscreens which block

out the beneficial rays, let in the harmful ones and contain carcinogens to

boot. Most of us are similarly lacking in iodine, and many are lacking in

selenium which, besides many other health benefits, is an important co-factor

for iodine to be properly utilized. While many people diligently

supplement with calcium via milk or supplements, as many as 95% of us are

deficient in magnesium - and without magnesium being consumed/supplemented

on a 1 to 2 or 1 to 3 ratio with calcium, the calcium does not work.

 

In

great part, cancer is a defense mechanism where the cells mutate to protect

themselves from a heavy metal, chemical compound, or other

irritant/toxin. One of the things they do is form an outer protective

shell which prevents the body's natural immune system from recognizing and

killing off the cancer cells. Some have observed that this protective

layer is getting thicker in many forms of cancer, possibly as a result of all

the added toxins and other factors listed above. The end result is

that cancer is more hardened against attack and is harder to recognize and

defeat by immune systems that are most often in less than optimum condition to

begin with.

 

In

addition, the body's great toxin removal organ, the liver, is also often

compromised and operating at far less than peak efficiency. Instead

of a toxin removal organ, many people have developed fatty livers which are fat

and toxin storage organs and which have bile ducts that fail to eliminate

toxins but instead serve to recycle them through the bloodstream.

 

Perhaps

the best of all the Mexican Clinics is the one established by Harry Hoxsey's

protégé and partner, Mildred Nelson, an angel of healing who passed on in

1999. In her later years, she observed that their clinic was still having

wonderful results with most forms of cancer, but cancers which once had been

able to cured in only three weeks or so were taking up to six month or

longer. I believe that what she observed is a perfect illustration of

what I outlined above.

 

My

own anti-cancer protocol (see " A Natural Anti-Cancer Protocol " )

may be overkill for many people. But I think it takes more than just one

cancer preventative or cancer fighter these days. That is why the

wonderful Budwig protocol, once an almost sure cancer beater, is still an

essential part of what I recommend, but far from the ONLY element.

With

declining immune systems in an increasingly polluted, poorly

nourished, overmedicated and toxic world, cancer is not getting easier to

avoid and neither is it getting easier to beat. Cancer may be easier to

beat than most people think, but that is only because most people still do not

know a fraction of what good diet, nutrition, herbal supplementation and

alternative treatments have to offer.

 

The

more people who educate themselves about alternatives and to ineffective and

toxic therapies, the more that will be saved.
