Cancer - known largely as a disease of our modern society - it ravages our bodies, our minds, and our spirits indiscriminately. Let's consider the similarities of 19th century America and countries where cancer is practically non-existent. For the most part, the only countries that have a low incidence of cancer are those countries where the environment is largely unspoiled and where the food is simple and unrefined. These countries are generally agricultural nations where highly processed food is uncommon. From what I have studied sugar is what feeds cancer the most.
Nearly a century ago - before the arrival of chemical fertilizers - farming in America was organic. Apart from the industrial cities, the environment was relatively pristine. I interpret these Cancer statistics to point to the subsequent arrival of a chemically toxic environment, over-processed foods, and stress as cancer's root cause.
To better understand the possible root causes of cancer, you should know that cancer is considered an acid disease that may be generated by an over consumption of acid foods: usually meat, dairy products, and coffee. Search for a simple food list of acid and alkaline foods and see which you eat the most of.
I have long thought that one day we will look back on chemotherapy much like we now look at "blood letting" in the middle ages. If you are over 40 you might remember that classic sketch on Saturday Night Live where the cure for EVERY disease was a good blood letting. He says the pharmaceutical companies are afraid of his theory because it will make their chemotherapy drugs useless.
What is the cause of cancer? I remember reading that more people are studying cancer than have cancer. I do not know if that is true, but we know that there is a ton of money and resources chasing for a cure.
I recently came across the web site of Dr. T. Simoncini, an oncologist in Rome. There is a link in the middle of the page to watch 3 videos - http://cancerfungus.com/ - be patient, watch all three - don't complain about some of the subtitles.
He blew me away with his theory that cancer is a fungus. Watch the 3 videos that put forth his hypothesis. It mentions this theory is cited in text books 1000 years old!
When I was with Tony Robbins I remember learning that "disease can not exist in an alkaline state." Since then, I have been very careful to eat foods from the alkaline side of the list. Check what side you eat from - make the radical change to the alkaline side and watch what happens.
As you will see in the videos, Dr. Simoncini was of course attacked for his claim. It is a fascinating story that I am surprised I have never heard before. You make up your own mind. If you know someone with cancer share this web site with them. Especially the testimonial from the Dr. from Mexico in the 3rd video talking about the "truth" - "sometimes the truth is right in front of your nose. There is not such thing as THE TRUTH. Truth is search."
