The fastest-growing disease on earth. By 2030, there will be as many as 22 million cases worldwide. Cancer afflicts 1.7 million Americans each year and kills 600,000 of them. More will die from cancer over the next two years than died in combat in all the wars the United States has ever fought combined.

And yet instead of having this as our number one priority, we would rather spend trillions to lower carbon dioxide levels, even though no one has died of climate change.

Sadly, I couldn’t past the popups to read the rest of the article...and would have liked to.

But from the excerpt I will have to agree that the advances in cancer treatment and the survival rate have been nothing short of miraculous.

There is no single cure and never will be just one cure. Not all cancers develop from the same causes, and they all do not respond to the same treatments.

What will be developed is an understanding of what therapies are most effective against each type of cancer, both in general, and per individual.

There are things that work against a lot of cancers and there are things that work against very specific cancers only.

Universal things all patients will need to do is eat a diet right for their genetics. Further all will need to eliminate refined sugar and refined carbs from their diets in order to wipe cancer out.

What are these new miraculous treatments that are working for patients with cancer? The article keeps referring to them but doesn’t mention even one of them. I think the article is pure bs. Chemotherapy, radiation and surgery are still the cancer treatments being used for virtually all cancers and these treatments are not new, chemo has been used for over 70 years and radiation and surgery for much longer.

There are alternate treatments being used successfully for some types of cancer but they are being used by few cancer patients compared to the chemo, radiation and surgery. So that is not turning the tide on this deadly disease.

Maybe more people are praying for healing.

Obamacare will ensure cancer remains a death sentence. Only greedy medical companies would dare profit on cancer cures. They must be punished.

“Doctor, no one in our family smokes. So, how does a twenty year old kid get lung cancer?”

“I don’t know.”

I watched that move recently, hubby watched most of it. The best part IMO is the last section on immunotherapy. Other research I have done since hubby’s diagnosis has been on the immune system. Eliminating sugar, alcohol and tobacco are key - they all suppress the immune system. Also there have been good results in a Mayo clinic study on EGCG, the green tea extract. They had a 31% success rate on CLL getting the lymphocyte counts to decrease. Anything that can be done before the chemo process has to help.
