What Causes Cancer
by Jenine Cohoon, MHN, PhDc, as printed in the Lakeshore Guardian December, 2006.
Cancer occurs when cells become abnormal and keep dividing and forming more cells without control or order. This continued growth creates a mass of tissue called a tumor. In a healthy body, cells divide to produce more cells only when the body needs them in an orderly process that keeps us healthy. This orderly process is not present in cancer cells. What makes them grow uncontrollably? Our magnificent bodies have a finely tuned blue print (DNA code) and it doesn’t spontaneously go against that blueprint - something creates that change, there is nothing spontaneous about it. What creates that change? Why do cancer cells grow out of control to form a tumor? By now we know fungus is involved, but exactly how?
The medical and cancer research fields believe cancer is caused by heredity or it spontaneously appears. They list risk factors as causes for developing cancer such as tobacco, sunlight, alcohol, radiation, chemicals, birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy, heredity, and diet. I believe they are risk factors, but not causes. Let’s look at those risk factors in more detail.
Tobacco as a cancer cause? Tobacco has been linked to cancer not only in firsthand smokers but also secondhand smokers and those that use smokeless tobacco. Tobacco contains over 4,000 different chemicals. It is believed that these chemicals cause cancer. I believe that these chemicals are devastating to the body and severely weaken the immune system and can create a medium for cancer to grow, but it is not the cause.
Tobacco leaves are known to harbor a wide variety of microorganisms. A 1969 study on non-cured tobacco found 236 fungal isolates, and 740 fungal isolates from cured tobacco! When the leaf is cured, it continues to harbor extensive fungal flora. The study went further to show that tobacco leaves that appeared to be healthy (lack of what is known as “brown spot”) were just as toxic as tobacco leaves that were known to be fungally infected. It is not the tobacco or chemicals that cause cancer but rather it creates injury to the body that can lead to cancer.
Sunlight as a cancer cause? Sunlight has been blamed to cause cancer. Sunlight does not cause cancer. It has been shown that cancer rates are much lower where there is the most sunlight. Some of the healthiest cultures in the world, such as the Hunzas and Vilcambabas, live at high elevations where sunlight is much more intense than at sea level. They typically spend many long hours outside every day yet they have traditionally lived to very old ages without getting any form of cancer. Their cultures have diets rich in whole foods, grown without chemicals or polluted water. Unnatural fats such as margarine are unknown to them.
So what is it then that has linked the sun to cancer? It is the sunlight-nutrient connection. Those with poor diets, full of chemicals and "bad fats" are at risk in the sun. In these people, sunlight can trigger free radical formation and skin damage that may lead to skin cancer. Free radicals can cause skin to age prematurely, wrinkle and sunburn, which can damage DNA and cause skin lesions (injury).
We have blamed the sun for problems that are really caused by poor diets that led to toxic sunlight reactions (such as skin cancer). For example, one study showed a 700% increase in skin cancer in people who use margarine. This "bad fat" created a toxic reaction in the skin that was exposed to the sun.
Alcohol as a cancer cause? Alcohol is a mycotoxin (poisonous byproducts of fungus)! Alcohol suppresses the immune system and depletes nutrients. It decreases the amount of immune cells available for microbes. It damages white blood cells and corrodes the liver and spleen. It also poisons the bone marrow. All of these work synergistically against the body to allow for not only fungal infections but also dementia, blackouts, sudden death, cardiomyopathy, gastritis, pancreatitis, hepatitis, hypertension, cancer of the head, neck, esophagus, breast and liver. It is not the cause of cancer but a pathway that creates injury that leads to cancer.
Radiation as a cause for cancer? Radiation has been shown to cause cancer. Many different types of cancer have appeared after radiation exposure. The National Academies of Science determined in June 2005 that there is no safe level or threshold of ionizing radiation. This is true, although what is it that causes the cancer from radiation? Severe tissue injury.
Chemicals as a cause for cancer? Chlorine, synthetic drugs, formaldehyde, herbicides, pesticides, and asbestos are known as carcinogens and are believe to cause cancer. These substances cause injury to the body, not cancer.
Birth control pills and Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) as a cause for cancer? The World Health Organization has concluded that birth control pills and HRT drugs can cause cancer and have reclassified these drugs as carcinogenic (the same class as tobacco and asbestos). Are these substances carcinogenic or really just contributors to the growth of an existing tumor? Estrogen is a growth hormone.
Heredity as a cause for cancer? There is a belief that a gene mutation is passed down from parent to child and that the gene increases the risk factor for developing cancer. Although there is a gene called p53 that when mutated, there is a 50% chance of developing cancer. This mutation is hereditary. However, depending on what chart you look at, there are statistics to show a 50% chance of getting cancer even with out a mutated p53 gene. The currently widely held statistic is that 1 in 3 will get cancer. Is it the mutated gene that causes cancer? Or is it the habits of families that are passed down and carried forward from generation to generation? Such as smoking, alcohol use, poor diets, etc, lack of exercise, etc.
Diet as a cause for cancer? Diet is an immense contributor to cancer, but is it a cause? Diet plays a role in keeping the immune system healthy. Fiber carries out mycotoxins and estrogens in the body. Anti-oxidants fight free radicals, and the list goes on. If nutrition is poor, the body cannot perform it’s multitude of jobs efficiently or even correctly. This creates a pathway for cancer.
Inflammation is not on the list, but definitely deserves to be. Chronic inflammation causes tissue injury. This allows microorganisms to colonize in the area which leads to more inflammation. Fungal infections are well known for causing inflammation.
We have to dig deeper into what cancer is and why it happens, the true cause. The truth is that all cancers have the same origins and develop for the same reasons through the same process. Where the cancer occurs, is a matter of injury. The risk factors mentioned here cause injury to the body.
The body is insulted and injured internally through such things as alcohol, smoking, fluoride, chorine, excess estrogen, aspartame, sugar, food additives, etc). Some of these cause a generalized injury to the body, but others are organ specific. For example, alcohol damages the liver, smoking damages the lungs, fluoride in drinking water can damage the kidneys, etc. Surgery, broken bones, cuts, punctures, etc are also injuries.
An injury damages the cells in the particular organ or area of the body where the injury occurred. The body, in it’s constant struggle to heal itself forms stem cell trophoblast to cover the injury site to prevent further damage. The stem cells then begin to change into the appropriate type of cell in order to replace the damaged ones. This is a normal function of the body. When the damaged cells are either replaced or repaired, the trophoblast is dissolved by enzymes from the pancreas. Other factors are also necessary such as Vitamin B17, Vitamin C, and Vitamin A to help digest the trophoblast.
If the body does not have the proper nutrition, and microbes are present at the site of inury (fungi, yeast, mold, parasites, etc.), the body does not make the proper trophoblast for the job. The improperly formed trophoblast keeps growing. Remember that microbes like fungus lives off of dead, dying, diseased tissue. In other words, they live off of injured tissue. Fungus, yeast, mold, and parasites (all are considered parasites) grow into the trophoblast which damages it further which leads to the production of more trophoblasts. This is not an out of control or spontaneous reaction by the body. It is the body conducting its innate drive and ability to heal itself.
Ron Gdanski, author of Cancer Cause, Cure and Coverup says: "Cancers initiate in membrane walls of storage vessels and ducts, such as the lungs, colon, breast, prostate, etc. due to injury. If cells that multiply to repair the injury are infected with bacteria or fungi, the microbes within the cell produce cell-wall proteins and enzymes that mutate the new cell walls. These mutated cells are rejected like a skin graft that does not take. For each normal cell that multiplies, we end up with two cancer cells and one less normal cell. That's how cancer consumes tissue.
Cancer is the continuous multiplication, microbial mutation, and bodily rejection of cells produced normally by the body to repair an injury."
Simply put, injury combined with microbes such as fungi, yeast, mold, virus, bacteria, and parasites combined with poor nutrition cause cancer. Remember that a trophoblast can cease growing in the presence of pancreatic enzymes, B17, Vitamin C, Vitamin A and a healthy immune system. A healthy immune system also combats these microbes so when injury does occur in the body, the healing response through stem cell trophoblast follows it’s natural course and stops replicating when the job is done.
This is the epigenetic element of a cancer cell. It is not the genetic element of a cancer cell that is reversible but rather the epigenetic elements of cancer cells. Cancer begins when certain genes mutate and the growth rate depends on continuing mutations. The epigenetic component of cancer is how other molecules (including microbes such as fungi, parasites, etc.) in a cell affect the genes of the cell.
Briefly put, ways to assist the body in healthy injury repair is to boost the immune system, avoid food and air exposure that allows fungi to proliferate within the body, eat a nourishing diet that assists the body in it’s healing process, and combat inflammation.
Our magnificent bodies know how to heal and work hard to accomplish this day and night. We need to remove the cause, heal the injury, and nourish the body – then watch the great and marvelous things our bodies can accomplish (natural healing)!
