On causes & prevention of cancer
According to a very popular and widespread, but untrue, belief, cancer and other disease can't survive in a properly alkalized and oxygenated body.
Cancer growth slows down only at extreme alkaline levels, attainable only by extreme measures such as cesium (and even that has only a moderate success rate in reversing cancer). Alkalinity PREVENTS MOST types of cancer, but others may be promoted by excessive alkalinity. Oxygenation tends to kill a portion of cancer cells but not all, but I can hardly recall a case of cancer healed solely through oxygenation (though I'm sure it happens), but I do believe in oxygen therapies as one part of a treatment protocol for cancer.
What makes one's body unfriendly to cancer and other disease?
"Unfriendly" (rather than completely immune) to cancer is the key word.
The single biggest factors I can think of are oxygenation, circulation, immunity, sufficient pancreatic enzymes, optimal digestion, antioxidants, nutrition, detoxification, low omega-6 and blood-sugar levels, dental health, clean colon, psychological factors, healthy liver, sunlight, sleep, and many other factors.
With regard to other disease, there are thousands of factors (the things above being predominant), but no one or two factors that all disease "can't survive" in. Alkalinity does tend to prevent many diseases, though some are caused by excessive alkalinity (including some leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, melanoma [Kelley/Gonzalez]).
* Lest the reader be misled by this observation, I can note here that I've heard so far two lymphoma healing testimonials, one of them in the "terminal" stage, being healed with the help of the Kangen™ Water Alkalizer/Ionizer, i.e. by providing the patient with an abundance of highly alkaline, antioxidant and microclustered water.
