Seven Ways to get Cancer

(Especially Pancreatic Cancer)

Pandora was given a box (it was actually a jar) by Zeus in which were safely kept the seven evils of the world. She was instructed not to open the box, but curiosity overwhelmed her and she opened it upon which the evils of the world flew out, never to be safely contained in the jar again. One of the evils that flew out was disease. When she saw the horrible mistake she had made, Pandora quickly capped the jar, but not quick enough, for all the evils had escaped and were forever loosed upon the earth. There was only one thing left in the jar and that was HOPE.

It was recently discovered that pancreatic cancer, along with most other cancers, takes about 20 years to grow into a detectable tumor. (Nature Magazine) Furthermore, here is what scientists at Johns Hopkins found: It takes 11.7 years for one mutation in a pancreas cell to grow into a mature pancreatic tumor, or one which may or may not show up on a medical scan. It takes another 6.8 years for the pancreatic tumor to spread and cause havoc. Then a couple more years of vague symptoms that aren't quite right, then the tests and the scans... In all, it takes about 20 years for a person to grow a metastatic pancreatic tumor. And, all of this is done silently and with lethal finality.

But, this malevolent information is actually quite heartening because - conversely - this means that we have plenty of time to adopt a healthy lifestyle (20 years) - the one where we don't end up with a cancer diagnosis. Instead of drinking a bunch, and smoking (big risk factors for pancreatic cancer), eating pounds of red meat, sugar (another huge risk factor for cancer of all kinds), absorbing chemicals by making unconscious choices in food stuffs, cleaning and body products, we can all start NOW with the better choices. As Mike Adams said, "If it takes 20 years to grow a pancreatic cancer cell to the point where you get diagnosed with aggressive pancreatic cancer, that then means that you have 20 years to change your lifestyle and stop the cancer." And, this is the HOPE that remained safely in Pandora's Box: Our ability to prevent cancer and disease with a healthy lifestyle.

I have some advice for you though if for some suicidal reason you actually want to know how to successfully grow a cancer tumor?

1) Have low vitamin D levels. By the way, don't listen to the latest hoo-ha about how D levels aren't important. The new research is a crock. Levels of 50, 60 and 70 are very cancer-protective.

2) Be afraid of the sun, because whoever put it there when the earth was created was one mean guy. Hooey. The sun is your friend. Just don't burn the bejesus out of yourself. Be responsible.

3) Don't eat any plant-based foods. Au contraire, chow down on the greens if you want to avoid the Big C. Adopt now an 80% plant-based diet using meat as a very small side.

4) Eat tons of sugar because it's the preferred fuel of all cancer cells. However, to avoid cancer, get yourself through the holidaze and then just vow to stop all sugar for 2011, OK?

5) Don't take any preventive supplements, especially the antioxidants and phytonutrients because you think or have been convinced (duped) by their billion dollar PR that Big Pharma has all of the answers with their statins and their flu shots and their acid blockers. Well, yes, they may put on a pretty convincing show of being smart and responsible and caring of you and your life and health, but in reality, look carefully with your gimlet eye at their bottom line and follow the money trail. They purport to have answers, yes, but only AFTER you have come down with a dreaded something. Then they get to make the frightful Slash/Poison/Burn recommendations. Opinion: M.D.'s are who you go to for emergency care and maybe preventive lab work, not anything else.

6) You still find yourself veering off the road many times a week for junk food, processed foods and fried foods at Micky D's. C'mon. Stop all of that crap. Now.

7) You still use the poison stuff to clean your clothes, floors, fridge and toilet. Your healthy lifestyle demands that you throw it all out and get environmentally friendly cleaners for 2011. For a healthy lifestyle to work, it is VITAL that you avoid all synthetic chemicals; do not take pharmaceuticals unless it's a life or death situation; do not use conventional perfumes, skin lotions, shampoos or other personal care products; do not use conventional laundry detergents as they are filled with cancer-causing fragrance chemicals. (I smell Tide and get prickly skin. Bounce gives me an instant headache.) And, finally, drink filtered, non-fluoridated water. Even well water may be suspect. I have an RO filter for my well water.

NB: Pancreatic cancer survival rates have not changed in the last 40 years. Mike Adams and I think that this is because since it takes so long to grow a tumor, it takes conventional medicine equally as long to tell the poor miscreant that he has pancreatic cancer and by that time, it's too late. You must take the responsibility in your own hands and adopt a cancer-fighting diet and lifestyle now. (This is timely because of Patrick Swayze and The Little House on the Prairie guy, Michael Landon, and now (allegedly) Aretha Franklin and since this is one of the bad ones with the high mortality rate, it behooves us to know more about it.)

"Wouldn't it make more sense to teach everyone how to prevent cancer two decades earlier and thereby avoid growing it in the first place?" Mike Adams the Health Ranger.
