Cancer as a symptoms, many causes

I would like to hear all the different point of views on cancer on this board. I read a few posts regarding cancer being caused by viruses, which I would also like to delve deeper into.

Also would like to hear anyone's input on why chemotherapy is bad or that the pros DO NOT outweigh the cons.


Since cancer by definition, is the uncheck reproduction/proliferation of cells. The immune system can play a role in nipping it in the bud but the cause or main impetus for uncontrolled cellular division can also be due to DNA and genetic damage. Mutagens and carcinogens damage DNA and I don't have much information on viruses as a cause but theoretically viruses like retroviruses, by definition, can cause cancer if cellular DNA is messed with.

I also know that there is a lot of components to cancer treatment. In cancer cells, cellular inhibition and the receptors on the membrane that stop it from growing once it makes contact with other cells is broken or dysfunctional and most of these receptors are glycoproteins. Perhaps thats why the whole "glyconutrients" buzz was such a hit.. but there's no real proof that taking glyconutrients will cause an increase in glyconutrients in the cell.


Another aspect of cancer is metals. If you have a metal issue that damages and oxidizes everything in your body, causing DNA damage and cellular dysfunction, no amount of herbs will do the trick.


So what all the different possible causes of cancer, what I would like to know is why are viruses touted so strongly on this board? at least from posts Ive seen?

What are cancer viruses? Where is the medical literature that shows that this virus a) has genetic material that causes cancer b) enters into the lysogenic cycle to have it inserted into the host DNA and not lyse the cell c) Why isn't cancer contagious then or contracted via viral contamination or transfer like fluids, blood, saliva, etc.
