According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), in its World Cancer Report, by the year 2020, the number of cancer cases will increase by 50%.
One-third of these cancers can be prevented, and only one-third can be cured! Ever since President Nixon first declared the "War On Cancer" in 1971, the Cancer Establishment has been "fighting" a losing battle against cancer.
As the WHO's report said, today only one-third of cancer can be cured.
The US government spent more than US$2 billion each year trying to find the "elusive magic bullet" to cure cancer.
So far no cure is in sight! On the other hand, it allocates less than 5% of its budget - i.
e.
less than US$50 million to research on preventive measures.
According to the WHO, one-third of cancers can be prevented - but why are people not interested to learn and know more about preventive measures? Obviously Somebody-Up-There have got their priority mixed up - understandably for a good reason - to protect Vested Interests.
Rachel Carson wrote in: Silent Spring, "For the first time in the history of the world, every human being is now subjected to contact with dangerous chemicals, from the moment of conception until death ...
We are living in the sea of carcinogens.
" Zillah Eisenstein, professor of politics, in her book: Man-made Breast Cancers, wrote: "One is not born with breast cancer.
One develops it.
It grows over time ...
Breast tissues appears to be more vulnerable to damage from carcinogens, pesticides, radiation, biopsy needles, etc.
" Quoting Sharon Thomson, she wrote: "What is happening to our earth is happening to our breasts.
" Studies show that the blood in breast cancer patients contains 35% more DDE (a metabolite of DDT) than that of healthy women.
" If it takes billions and billions of dollars to cure only 33% of cancers, how much does it take to prevent 33% of cancers? Dirt cheap by any comparison! The New Straits Times, 16 December 2006, carried a report by Donald Berry of the University of Texas M.
D.
Anderson Cancer Centre which said that: "Breast cancer rates plunged an unprecedented 7% in 2003; the year after millions of women stopped taking menopause hormones.
" NOT taking HRT/ERT pills costs NO money and by doing just that breast cancer rate dropped by 7%.
After spending billions of dollars trying to make new chemo-drugs, this is what experts say about the benefits of chemotherapy for cancer cure.
Doctors in Australia, Graeme Morgan, Robyn Ward and Michael Baton wrote that in Australia, of the 10,661 people who had breast cancer and underwent chemotherapy, only 164 people survived 5 years.
This works out to be 1.
5% contribution of chemotherapy to five-year survival.
This is a classical case of big money chasing after elusive outcomes! Look at the figures again.
Don't you think that prevention - i.
e.
just by not taking ERT/HRT, is far cheaper and safer than getting cancer first and going for chemotherapy after that? But why are people not interested in Prevention? As I have said many times before, prevention makes no money.
It supports no industry.
On the contrary it hurts industries of all nature.
Take for example, if there is a fall in cancer rates, there would be less hospitals to build (the building contractors are not happy!), we don't need more oncologists, the radiation machines will be less in use, there would be less need for chemo-drugs, less of X-ray films, and even there would be less tourists coming to the country seeking medical treatments (even the tourism industry is affected!).
Prevention does not only affect the medical-pharmaceutical industries, equally hurt are the numerous industries that generate chemicals and by-products that pollute Planet Earth.
What can we do about it? The key is education - dissemination of honest, unbiased knowledge to all.
We have a choice to either flow with the stream and become sick, or take responsibility of our health and say no to anything that pollute our body and our environment.
Learn for ourselves and take preventive measures.
