Do You Know the Root Cause of Cancer?

We hear this word so often these days... cancer.  But do you really know what are some of the root causes of it?

There are root causes of cancer that the industry is failing to address.  It would be more beneficial to us all if researchers spent less time and money searching for genetic factors and more on evaluating the carcinogenic impact of various lifestyle- and environmental factors. Even thought some cancers may be highly influenced by inherited genetic defects, the emerging science of epigenetics proves that your genetic code is not nearly as predeterministic as previously thought.

 Most people may not know that you actually have a tremendous amount of control over how your genetic traits are expressed. Your genes will express or suppress genetic data depending on the environment they are in.  What this means is that if there is presence or absence of appropriate nutrients or toxins, that will have an effect on the genes and how they are expressed.  In addition to that, even your thoughts and feelings, which unleash hormones and other chemicals in your body, play a very important role in how your genes will express the genetic data.  Dr. Susan Love, a breast cancer surgeon and president of the Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation commented on such research back in 2009, saying:

  

"It's exciting. What it means, if all this environmental stuff is right, is that we should be able to reverse cancer without having to kill cells. This could open up a whole new way of thinking about cancer that would be much less assaultive."

Research into the health of our ancient ancestors also suggests that cancer is indeed a man-made disease.   More and more environmental and lifestyle factors are being pinpointed as the culprits, and it is visibly seen that our cancer problem is the result of too many people being regularly exposed to too many of these toxic factors.  Some of these include:

 

 

• Pesticide and other synthetic chemical exposures
• A predominance of sugars and grains which causes the body to burn sugar rather than fat as its primary fuel
• Wireless technologies, dirty electricity, and medical diagnostic radiation exposure 
• Pharmaceutical drugs
• Obesity, stress, and poor sleeping habits
• Lack of sunshine exposure and use of sunscreens  

It is important to note that it's highly unlikely that any one of these is solely responsible. Rather it's probably a combination of several. This means that what needs to be done is a complete overhaul of most industries that provide us with everything from food and clothes to personal care products, furnishings and more. Yes, this does sound dramatic, and perhaps that's why no one really wants to take this up and confront it.  However, it is necessary if we want to truly address the meteoric rise of not just cancer, but many other modern diseases as well. Virtually every single thing you put into your mouth, on your body, and in your home and business, needs to be evaluated for its toxic potential.
