Re: My thoughts on IF I HAD CANCER...and I do!
A comment on your lymph node surgery. It is difficult to account for, yet presently believed that the immune system sits idle as
cancer activity proliferates. Simultaneously it is observed and acknowledged that there is a corresponding activity in the lymphatic system. Often it is observed that the cancer has
spread to the adjacent lymph nodes. The purpose of the lymph nodes is to “serve as the center for production of phagocytes, which engulf bacteria and poisonous substances”.
Lymph nodes are a vital component of the immune system, and are always associated with immune system activity. In other words, with every ‘non cancerous’ situation, the enlarged lymph nodes indicates that the immune system is active and fulfilling its
function. Yet we are told, in episodes of cancer, although it is acknowledged that the lymph nodes are active, the immune system is thought to remain inactive. The bewilderment that this event creates is made evident when we read the scientific
explanation that attempts to account for why the immune system sits idle while the events that it is designed to prevent, take place in its domain. This anomaly has never been adequately addressed. It defies reason to accept that the immune system is doing nothing. A more credible explanation for this phenomena could be that instead of the immune system doing nothing, we may want to consider the possibility that the immune system is
doing everything. This is not as bizarre as it sounds since all of the characteristics of the cancerous activity, also happen to be normal immune system functions. It requires much less credence to simply hold that the immune system is causing the lawless proliferation of growth,(since it is its job to do so,) and the immune system is also supplying the essential blood supply to support this new growth, by way of
‘inflammation’(again, since it is its job to do so.). If we make this simple adjustment in our model for explaining cancer, (by taking the blame away from the individual cell’s DNA, and placing the blame on the immune system as a whole, or more specifically, the repair and/or identify aspects of our immune system,)then we simplify things immensely. This phenomena then becomes a candidate to apply ‘Ockham’s razor’.Why employ a complex set of beliefs when a simple explanation already exists? Unexplainable events become, for the first time explainable.
