The Cancer Epidemic That Continues Are you aware that nearly 50% of Americans will develop some form of cancer today, and that by 2050 the cancer rate will have nearly doubled? (National Cancer Institute – NCI) With billions given to research for a cure, prevention methods and supposedly the most brilliant minds to task, the last 40 years have yielded very little in regards to either objective. We’re a nation with one of the greatest technological capabilities known to man, a world super power, yet have the third sickest population falling only to China and India (U.S. Census Bureau – extrapolations). Making matters worse are statistics that show chronic disease wildly more prevalent within developed / industrialized nations.
Is Cancer Really Genetic? A succession of scientific findings beginning with studies conducted in the late 19th and early 20th century combined with the discovery of the oncogene by MIT’s-Dr. Robert A. Weinberg has led scientists to suggest that cancer is genetic and is caused by a sequence of DNA mutations caused by the gene. The well reported nature of these findings began the spark of the wide spread belief that cancer is in fact genetic. These happenings have now cumulated into the mammoth research project through the International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) in which the leviathan like organization seeks to identify and catalogue the genetic mutation structure of 50 different cancer types. ICGC scientists from 10 different countries predict it will take “at least five years and many hundreds of thousands of dollars to complete this mammoth task” in addition to developing new drugs. Scientists suggest that if the DNA mutations that lead to cancer can be detected early enough through “MoT-style blood tests” then specific drug treatments can begin for the early stage cancer. (UK Wellcome Trust Scientific Research Team of the ICGC) Clearly stated, the hope and goal of their findings are to develop and test on their human lab-rats “more” drugs which, historically have shown to exacerbate existing conditions while creating brand new ones, all while growing fat pockets for the pharmaceutical industry.
The Notion of Genetic Cancer Proven Unequivocally FalseAs you may have not heard, Dr. Weinberg reversed his original theory 12 years ago after discovering that less than one DNA base in a million appeared to have been miscopied, concluding that not enough defect existed to cause cell mutation. His exact words: “Something was very wrong. The notion that a cancer developed through the successive activation of a series of oncogenes had lost its link to reality”. More recently, in 2005, the directors of the world’s largest cancer research center in Houston, Texas, announced that cancer’s prime cause is not genetic. Despite the magnitude of these reports, they’ve been widely overlooked by the mainstream media, leaving most in the dark as to the cause, cure and prevention of a disease that killed 7.6 million people worldwide in 2007 (The American Cancer Society).
The Notoriously Illusive Cure Reflect over your lifetime as to how many times you can recall hearing reports of Millions of dollars in grant money being awarded for cancer research. I’ve personally seen unfathomable amounts of money poured into projects like these; yet, where’s the cure, where are the effective prevention methods, where are the answers? Hundreds of people are receiving new cancer diagnosis everyday. What other profession can you name that is paid millions of dollars and consistently fails its mission over and over again? I can’t name one.
Studies published leading people to believe “the genetic code of cancer has been cracked” and that “scientists are on the brink of a cure” serve to give hope (albeit false) for a “someday” cure. In actuality their design is to drive large amounts of money in the form of donations, grants and fundraisers to fund more research and develop new drugs to saturate people with. Prescription drugs weren’t designed to cure illness or disease; at best they provide temporary relief, but ultimately, history has shown them to exacerbate existing conditions. And if history shows that drugs aren’t the solution (which it does), then why continue spending millions of tax payer dollars to fund “false hope” research in search of new drugs? I suspect that “fear” drives most of this and the cancer industry is well aware of the trump card called “fear.”
