Re: Understand first, then fight
You may want to visit the site "what is cancer" by professor Zajicek. Cancer is
a by product of virus infection. The year to remember is 1954. The French
Health Committee was about to declare that cancer is a viral disease. One of
the ideas, in the above mentioned site, is that a carcinogen causes the
depletion of stem cells. At the very beginning this is compensated by a minor
tumor and patient despite some fatigue feels healthy. With time the deficiency
may grow and so does the tumor. Tumor is a new organ, fully controlled and
fully nourished by the organism. It is assumed that stem cells also secrete a
vital substance to sustain tissue and prevent Cachexia. One may consider tumor
as a factory to produce the missing proteins due to stem cells loss. This
factory, so to speak, is not as efficient as the original depleted stem cells
and quality is traded for quantity. For more info on that, how to cure and
treat, see
