CyberGene personally I believe prevention is more important than potential cures.

It is a lesser widely known fact that cancer is always happening inside the human body - everyone on earth has cancer inside them. It’s just that as healthy human body is able to clean up and remove most cancers as a part of its normal operation.

So why do some human bodies have trouble doing this cleanup process?

There are 3 main likely culprits (and it is likely a combination of all 3):

Toxins: e.g. diet, alcohol, tobacco (including second-hand smoke), household cleaning chemicals, car ICE coolant, pollution (water pollution, air pollution, food pollution etc). My uncle ran a wine bar and restaurant for 20 years and he mainly consumed a diet of rare red meat + wine: died of colon + bowel + live cancer at age 58. Pick red meat OR alcohol - not both!
Chronic stress. A small amount of stress is fine - e.g. enough to release adrenaline and endorphins so you can outrun the lion/tiger/leopard/slow bear! But in nature you’d either outrun that lion or be eaten within an hour. Chronic stress is any stress that lasts longer than a day - any stress that is still affecting you the next day after it started. Work stress, study stress, bullying stress, relationship stress, the stress of having a sick child: these are all unnatural stresses linked to physical damage (to every cell in your entire body) that can cause cancer.
Lack of sunlight.
a) Sunlight contains UV light which every skin cell on your entire body soaks up to produce the hormone (not vitamin) referred to as Vitamin D. This hormone switches on (activates) a large number of genes in the human body and importantly controls mood - which prevents depression, there reducing stress (see item #2).
b) Much more importantly: sunlight contains Infra Red light that due to its wavelength is able to penetrate deep inside your body. Indeed it reaches every cell in your body - through bones. Almost no one realises that this light is actually crucial to the cancer cleanup (free radical cleanup) process. Without IR light cancer flourishes unchecked. That’s why there are higher cancer rates in night shift workers and sedentary workers (people who work indoors).

Good, I’m not having a colonoscopy!

Hello,

If genuine, undoubtedly good news for those concerned.

However, do you want The Clack to be indexed based on this type of thread?

Cheers and happy moderating,

I think the indexation works by crawling all the discussions and taking in mind the frequency of words. So, unless we start talking more about cancer drugs and less about pianos, we should be fine 😀

The caveat with this new treatment (the novelty lies in the protocol, not the drug "per se") is that it seems to be highly effective in a subset of patients with one particular mutation. But if this holds true in a larger study, it means CURE for 5-10% of patients, and opens the avenue for other out-of-the-box protocols.

This looks like good news.

It is interesting news from the view that historically & statistically, if you add up all the numerous different cancers people are said to die from, approximately 90 percent of them die before the assigned survival time frame regardless both of how early detected and which of the few approved treatments were applied.

Colon-Rectum ( and Prostate for men) cancers were already one of the few cancers with far better than 1 in 10 chance of survival, but improving survival of just this one category is good news nonetheless.

By the same token, it might be a reason for people to wonder if it is simply another combination of heredity / environment / lifestyle stuff passing through their colon/rectum that causes increasing incidence of cancer there.

Drew-r Colon-Rectum ( and Prostate for men) cancers were already one of the few cancers with far better than 1 in 10 chance of survival

Beware of non contextualized statistics... There is a big difference between how aggressive a cancer is, and how aggressive can WE be with a cancer. If a cancer is localized and the organ is not critical for survival, surgical ablation of the problem has a very good chance of being curative. We can survive without colon or rectum, thus we have high survival rates despite the cancer being VERY aggressive. On the other hand you cannot fully remove lungs, stomach, esophagus, pancreas, and thus those survival rates decrease. Surgery is the big differentiator, not drugs...

Drew-r

Cancers generally are not localized as they are a systemic disease ( most often the result of a compromised pancreas) that has been present inside a person for 2-5 years prior to the diagnostic discovery of a tumor. In other words, a person who’s healthcare provider initially discovers the tiniest tumor/spot inside their body has already been unwittingly living with cancer for 2-5 years. In the early stages of cancer - pre-metastasis - tumors are localized, but they are merely symptoms of cancer, not the cause of cancer. Surgical removal of a cancerous tumor is akin to taking a pill for high blood pressure or disconnecting the smoke alarm that goes off every time you over fry an egg or over toast bread in the kitchen; it removes or blocks a symptom/warning signal.

PS. Conservatively, for the past 50 years of mainstream practice by orthodox medicine, the extent of approved “aggressive” cancer treatments have been limited to variations on 3 tools: radiation;chemotherapy; surgery, generally known as cut/slash, poison & burn methodology.

@Drew-r This is not a medical forum so this is not the place for in-depth discussion, but I have to point that most of what you said is not correct. And the portions that are correct, don't fully agree with your arguments.

What!? You found something on the internet that is incorrect? How can that be???

Come on @MacMacMac , fess up!

If you found something on the Internet that suggests something somebody/anybody found on the Internet is incorrect - or permutations thereof or by your own un-internet-aided volition - you may need to use the Internet to inform us accordingly.

Drew-r

For the sake of anyone genuinely interested in learning about what some past survivors of cancer learned on their journey to surviving it by going their own way instead of adhering to the way of the orthodox medical industry, i post, again, another reference to Jerry Brunetti; see this link

I realize many people are too busy to devote 1 or 2 hours watching an internet-sourced A/V that turns out to be information they are - for any reason good, bad or indifferent - generally opposed to for learning about. However, with respect to the aforementioned doubt of some research / statistics related to cancer, i sincerely encourage you/anyone to watch & listen to at least the first half hour …. may require you to give up watching your favorite brand of 30 minutes of MSM news, or a rerun of Bewitched, The View, Seinfeld, etc.

Thank you all 🥰

So avoid toxins and stress (and actively destress by playing the piano, or watching comedy - this forces your brain to release telomeres which repairs stress damage), and get Vitamin D (pills are the only way if you want to avoid skin cancer due to ozone hole until 2060) and soak up sufficient IR light (IR light globes are about $20 each - and are your only option in winter if you live north of San Francisco or south of Sydney). That’s why people get sick more often in winter: IR light deficiency (it’s not the cold weather).

If you want to know more about the crucial anti-cancer role of infrared light then this doctor explains it perfectly:

burkey telomeres

I mean telomerase (that repairs your telomeres - the ends of every chromosome in every cell in your body). That’s why when you are stressed you start having ulcers (e.g. mouth ulcers) - that’s stress damage to the telomeres in your white blood cells caused by your brain stopping its release of telomerase due to chronic stress (your white blood cells are replaced every 2 days - that’s why you notice such a fast impact on your immune system within hours of chronic stress onset).

So avoid those French/freedom fries (starchy foods like potatoes cooked above 170C / 340 F all produce a well known carcinogen), de-stress every day at the piano, have your blood vitamin D levels tested every few years (you will be deficient unless you work outdoors every day), and sit under some infrared light globes. These are my main nuggets of advice for avoiding early maiming/death by cancer.

According to my DNA test I have 6x increased risk of prostate cancer, so I’ll have to do some prevention. I try to avoid stress and generally I’m very stress-free, try to sleep enough and eat healthy, get some pleasures in life… Tre rest is up to God / nature / …(whoever believes/disbelieves in whatever).

Be sure to keep up with the PSA testing. Mine was on the rise for ten years until it reached 6 a year ago. I had to have radiation treatments ... and I won't know for another year whether it's cured.
