Understanding Cancer

The Main Causes of Cancer

1. Primary Cause of cancer

The first and most important reason for the formation of cancer is the lack of oxygen in the blood cells. If there is lack of oxygen in the blood cells, they will make their food by fermenting glucose but if we
provide oxygen to it, then fermentation becomes impossible. Rest of the reasons which come in secondary cases are given below.

2. Secendary Cause of Cancer

  1. Heredity: Your genetic makeup is inherited from birth and cannot be changed.
  2. Age: Your chronological age is a factor that cannot be changed.
  3. Lifestyle: You can create a barrier against cancer by changing your lifestyle.
  4. Environment: The environment in which you live also impacts your life, and this is a factor you can change.

3. Cancer Development

Cancer does not happen suddenly; it takes time, often years or decades, to develop. Three points are necessary for cancer to develop:

a. Initiator

  • Initial Mutation: A carcinogen (such as chemicals, pesticides, tobacco, metals, viruses, bacteria, or UV radiation) causes a change in the DNA, leading to abnormal cell division.

The body has multiple defense systems to repair DNA, kill the abnormal cell, or trigger cell growth or T-cell action. However, if these systems fail, it could lead to the beginning of abnormal growth.

b. Promoter

  • Rapid Growth: Factors like hormones, medications, chemicals, and sugar can cause rapid tumor growth.

Cancer cells need more fuel (particularly sugar) than normal cells because they grow faster.

c. Progressor

Multiple Mutations: Multiple mutations are required for cancer to become truly dangerous.

  • Disorderly Growth: The cells become less orderly, losing their original shape and boundaries.
  • Spread and Infiltration: The abnormal cells can spread and infiltrate multiple tissues, leading to metastasis.

Benign vs. Malignant

  • Benign tumors tend to grow slowly, are encapsulated (confined within boundaries), and are non-invasive (staying in one place).
  • Malignant tumors grow faster, are non-encapsulated (no boundaries), and are invasive (spreading to other tissues).

4. Preventing Cancer through Holistic Health

To prevent cancer, it is best to understand and practice holistic health, addressing all aspects that can affect or stress the body. This involves a triad of health: chemical, structural, and emotional.

a. Chemical Aspects

  1. Limit Carcinogens: Eat organic foods, avoid pesticides, limit exposure to household chemicals, and use natural cookware and clothing materials.
  2. Don’t Feed Cancer: Cancer cells prefer sugar as fuel, so limit sugar intake.
  3. Manage Insulin Resistance: Insulin resistance is closely tied to cancer and other degenerative diseases.
  4. Adopt a Healthy Diet: Focus on healthy fats (saturated and monounsaturated) from natural sources, and consider a low-carb, high-fat diet. Fasting and inducing ketosis and autophagy can also help reverse the effects of metabolic syndrome and fight cancer.

b. Structural Aspects

Regular exercise is essential for better cancer survival rates, improved immunity, and overall health benefits.

c. Emotional Aspects

Stress impairs the body’s ability to recover and can increase inflammation, blood sugar, and reduce immunity. Manage stress through practices like meditation, mindfulness, and developing a more positive mindset.

5. Conclusion

Cancer prevention is far better than trying to reverse it once it has progressed. By addressing heredity, age, lifestyle, and environmental factors through a holistic approach to health, you can improve your odds of avoiding cancer and maintaining overall well-being.
