The war on cancer reminds me of the war on terrorism - while they may be necessary to deal with an immediate threat, neither deal with the root causes of cancer or terrorism; but are largely fruitless and extremely costly reactions to the symptoms. Reactive measures often end up causing more complications than can be handled. Pre-emptive, root cause action is what we most need.
This video below tells us about many the root causes of cancer and non-toxic treatment, of which there are very many. I am not telling you not to get treatment for cancer, if you have cancer; but why aren't we more aggressively promoting the practical public and personal health measures for preventing it in the first place? We already know enough to prevent at least 70% of all cancers. If we were to prevent 70% how would you feel about that? You might argue that 70% is an exaggeration. Well, if the real figure was, say, 30% how would you feel about that? Something that reduces all cancers by 30% would surely be sensational news? Nobel Prize material.
The question is this: "If we already know how to prevent many, or most cancers, then why are we not putting more effort into implementing these preventive measures?"
I know why: because there is no money in root cause prevention. The money is in high value treatment after the fact, and the never-ending research to find the one shot cure, such as a miracle drug or gene therapy of which there will be none because cancer is the perfect storm of many factors coming together. The bulk of research funding is the search for the next patent drug. Non-patent measures receive little more than lip service and often sidelined and even ridiculed. Depressing but so true.
The only criticism that I have of this video is not enough is said of the dangers of the numerous xrays that we are exposed to over our lifetimes. These vary from bone density scans, mammograms, dental xrays and the real biggie - CT scans.

What's the skin cancer rate among New Zealand Polynesians? I could not find any figures so asked my dermatologist. In his opinion the rate was negligible - no more than 1/50th that for Caucasians.
So, why do we force children of darker-skinned races to "slip-slop-slap!" when they go to school? Are we not harming their health? In my opinion we are.
Here in the Southern Hemisphere it is mid summer and the dire warnings about the sun are once again being broadcast from the parapets.
But I have a problem with these "one-size fits-all" sound-byte health warnings. When it comes to sun exposure we must take account of skin type. A dark-skinned person may need up to 50 times the sun exposure of a fair person in order to stay healthy. So, the sun health messages that apply to "white" New Zealand may be doing enormous harm to our darker-skinned citizens.
When going out in the sun, the degree of protection needed is dependent on skin type. So, my fair-skinned niece, Jasmin, takes considerable care not to get burned; whereas my brown-skinned son, Alama, can play all day in the sun without as much as a hat. Both will be getting their vitamin D from different degrees of exposure to the sun.

Yet another example of big business pushing health products that may be harmful. Our very own Cancer Society has been captured. Far from being an advocate on our behalf, it comes across as being an advocate for the "cancer industry". One of its main sources of income is from the sale of sunscreen products. In my opinion, this compromises its advocacy role.
So, let's get this right:Stay out of the sun and slap all of these chemicals over your body to hopefully prevent one form of cancer. But, in so doing, you are increasing your risk of dozens of other forms of cancer, including breast, prostate, ovarian and bowel cancer, as well as many, many other diseases.
Not getting out in the sun risks developing vitamin D deficiency. Up to 90% of the population now have low to deficient levels of vitamin D. Vitamin D is essential for health for people of all ages, including children who the cancer industry spends a lot of effort targeting (It preys on parental fears for the safety of their child).
Of course, we must be sensible and be careful not to burn when going out in the sun. So, get outdoors and enjoy the health benefits of sunshine!
