Yes, I agree. The virus, or other microbe, are the causes of most cancers, but the toxins are co-factors that allow the virus to take hold through immune suppression and by accelerating the growth of existing cancers. The role of the liver is to deal with the toxins, such as xenoestrogens that proliferate cancer cells.
It is like if you drop a bowling ball on your foot and break it. The initial problem is the broken foot that was caused by the bowling ball. The pain and inflammation is from the prostaglandins dilating the blood vessels causing them to leak. If we apply this analogy to cancer the bowling ball is the virus. The broken foot is the cancer. And the pain and inflammation are the growth of cancer cells and the side effects.
