Ah ha! Now here is a question. What is it that has happened to cause the cancer in your body? Why is it important? Well, because if you do not nail the answer then it may come back.
I believe, with much scientific support to support my belief, that many cancers are the results of genetic predispositions. These fancy words mean that you are born with genes that lend themselves to particular sorts of cancer. Now, just because you have these genes doesn’t mean that you will get cancer. You have to do something to turn the genes on. Usually this is some environmental insult. It is usually a combination of some of the following:
Anyway, something turns the genes on and the cancer starts to develop, usually over a long period of time. The value in identifying what has turned genes is key to recovery.
It is easy to blame cancer on genes. The fact is that a genetic predisposition is only a very small part of the plot. The major causes lie in the environmental insults.
There is more to it than that. You have this amazing thing called an immune system whose job it is to protect you from cancer. You need to think about why your immune system failed you, when it will have defeated cancer in your body so many times before. Yes, we all get cancer on a regular basis, but the immune system just gets on and deals with it. We don’t even know it was there. When the cancer gets a foothold, it is usually a case of your immune system being run down, or beings so busy fighting something else that the cancer snuck through.
In summary, cancer is usually a combination of factors: a genetic predisposition, environmental insults that result in inflammation, toxicity and/or a lack of key nutrients, and a tired immune system. It is important to find the reasons in your case. They are different for everyone. Your return to wellness and maintaining that wellness will depend on identifying your reasons and addressing them. This is where testing comes in.
Chemotherapy, radiation and surgery do not address causes. They address the symptom, which is cancer. To successful beat and keep the cancer at bay, in my view, demands a response aimed at causal factors.
