Researches from Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center tried to find an explanation why cancer metastasizes after a tumor has been removed, poisoned, or burned. That’s a question thousands of people find themselves asking after going through hell and back due to today’s conventional cancer therapies just to see their cancer come back. The answer, though, may be harder to swallow than you think.
Conventional oncology has traditionally alleged that metastasis occurs when tumor cells somehow survive and scape the tumor, causing cancer growth somewhere else. Their general strategy is this: they will hunt cancer cells and kill them wherever they are, no matter what it takes. The hard truth is that no conventional treatment will kill 100% of cancer cells in your body. Among many things, cancer cells are created daily in all of us, whether we like it or not. Even after surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, you will still have a certain number of cancer cells running around unattended within your body.
The hope after conventional treatment is that your body will be able to overcome the remaining cells with its own anticancer mechanisms. Two of those powerful natural forces within our bodies that assist in maintaining a state of permanent cancer remission are our immune system and our natural capacity for DNA repair. The less cancer cells remain, the more chances these mechanisms will be able to control them as they did before.
The problem is that the mechanisms your body deploys to keep cancer at bay get severely damaged by conventional cancer treatments. And on top of it, the cancer cells that remain are the most resistant and difficult to kill. It’s a bit like taking antibiotics: you kill almost all the bugs, but your body becomes defenseless, and you get a recurrent infection with angrier leftover bugs. You never get well unless your body gets strong enough, fast enough, and that happens less and less frequently as you age.
So why do cancers relapse after treatment? This new study suggests the answer: cells may break off from a tumor even before they become cancerous, seeding the body with premalignant cells that evade detection and lie dormant indefinitely before turning into tumors of their own. Apparently this seeding can happen even before the tumor becomes cancerous. How about that?
The research team injected mice with normal mammary cells that had been experimentally manipulated in a way that allowed the researchers to turn on certain cancer genes, or “oncogenes,” at various times after injection. They found that the normal mammary cells were capable of traveling in the bloodstream to the lungs and surviving there for up to 16 weeks without expressing any oncogenes. The cells did not begin growing aggressively in the lungs until the oncogenes had been turned on.
The implications of this study are enormous:
- Metastasis starts earlier than thought.
- These premalignant cells have dormant genetic cancerous material that might turn on at any time, anywhere in the body. So even if your body has zero cancer cells, which is virtually impossible, these cells might become cancerous anyways.
- Healthy cells break off from emergent precancerous tumors and circulate in the bloodstream, becoming virtually undetected, and therefore unable to be killed by chemotherapy, as chemotherapy targets cells that are already dividing rapidly.
- These dormant premalignant cells remain in the body, even after the primary tumor turns malignant and is removed through surgery.
- Tumor biopsy might encourage the break off of premalignant cells.
It seems this is yet again another clear evidence that chemotherapy, radiation, and even surgery are and ineffective and obsolete way to deal with cancer, right? So, what’s being done about it? Are there any changes made to incorporate such discoveries to redesign existing therapies? This is another example of why conventional cancer treatments keep failing in curing cancer. Conventional oncology continues to refuse changing its approach to cancer even when studies like this show how their methods are archaic, risky, and not based in new science.
In conventional oncology there is virtually no preventive or integrative strategy when dealing with cancer. Removing as many carcinogenic factors as possible is not an option. Working towards making your own cancer killing mechanisms strong enough to overcome the disease is out of the equation. Everything is left at the mercy of how your body will be able to face cancer after conventional treatments.
So, what can you do about it? While conventional oncology will literally abandon you after treatment, leaving you waiting with your arms crossed without any guidance on what to do until cancer shows up again, you can actually do a lot of things on your own to prevent cancer relapse and keep it at bay.
- Fine tune your immune system so it can detect and destroy left over cancer cells and the ones that might appear.
- Remove as many carcinogenic factors from your lifestyle as possible (the list is quite long).
- Get rid of as many toxins from your body as possible.
- Lose body fat. It accumulates toxins and increases dangerous insulin growth factors.
- Provide your body of all nutrients it needs and get rid of all anti-nutrients it doesn’t.
- Oxygenate your body through exercise and nutrition.
- Lower your blood glucose and insulin levels.
- Follow a mostly raw, calorie restriction diet.
- Alkalinize your body.
- Educate yourself about alternative treatments you can do on your own.
