One can't turn around now-a-days without hearing of someone who has/had Tumors/cancer (of some sort, at some stage).

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) has claimed to be winning the war on cancer. Last March, newspapers across the country dutifully heralded a decline in cancer incidence and mortality, citing the latest annual report of the National Cancer Institute. The report credited the decline to lifestyle changes, improved detection, and reduced smoking. BUT

Despite such celebrated claims of progress against the disease, the facts tell a different story.

Over recent decades, the incidence of cancer has escalated to epidemic proportions (1), now striking nearly one in two men (44%) and more than one in three women (39%). This increase translates into approximately 56% more cancer in men and 22% more cancer in women over the course of a single generation (2). As admitted by recent NCI and ACS estimates, the number of cancer cases will increase still further because of the growth and aging of the population, dramatically doubling by 2050 (3).

From 1973 to 1999 (a 26-year period), based on available data (1), the overall incidence of cancers (expressed as the numbers per 100,000 population), adjusted to reflect the aging population, had increased by approximately 24% Source

"In 1904 only 1 out of 24 Americans had cancer in his lifetime.
Today the cancer rate is 1 out of 2 for men and 2 out of 3 in women."

More than 50% of the population will be diagnosed with cancer during their lifetime and the percentage is steadily climbing. The purpose of this newsletter is to help people become aware of this trend by providing information for those who do not want to become victims.

Doctors now say that "every man will develop prostate cancer if he lives long enough, even though the overwhelming majority will not die from it." Breast cancer in women is as common as prostate cancer in men. Most people now have cancer in their body when they die, even if they die of something else.

''Cancer is reaching epidemic proportions and we need to identify the links between the public health crisis and the environment,'' declared Priscilla Rosenwald of the Pennsylvania Women's Health and Environment Network during a breast cancer conference . Such claims are often accompanied by pleas for massively expensive regulations that would require removing even the smallest traces of synthetic chemicals from the environment.

More Americans die of cancer each year than died in World War II, the Korean War and Vietnam combined. It is expected that more than 1.4 million PLUS Americans will be diagnosed with cancer and many of us will die from it. Now! Someone dies of cancer every minute.

Types of common cancers vary in different countries. For example, in India, cancer of mouth and throat is most common and accounts for about 35% to 40% of all cancers. It is estimated that about 15 lakh Indians would get cancer. In America and Europe, cancer of lung, prostate (male) and breast (female) is most common. Cancer of colon is also getting more common. This may be related to poor quality of foods consumed and unhealthy lifestyles. In Japan, cancers of stomach and food-pipe are common. These differences may be due to different life styles, food habits etc in different regions.

The Time To Choose Is Now!
You have to decide wether you will
get on with living or get on with dying.

"It will not be long before the entire population will have to decide whether we will all die of cancer or whether we will have enough wisdom, courage, and will power to change fundamentally all our living and nutritional conditions." - Dr. Max Gerson

CHICAGO, May 9 /PRNewswire/ — The following was released by Samuel S. Epstein, M.D., Chairman of the Cancer Prevention Coalition and Professor Emeritus of Environmental and Occupational Medicine, University of Illinois School of Public Health, Chicago, and Quentin D. Young, M.D., Chairman of the Health and Medicine Policy Research Group, Past President of American Public Health Association, Chicago:

Since passage of the 1971 National Cancer Act, launching the "War Against Cancer," the incidence of childhood cancer has steadily escalated to alarming levels. Childhood cancers have increased by 26% overall, while the incidence of particular cancers has increased still more: acute lymphocytic leukemia, 62%; brain cancer, 50%; and bone cancer, 40%. Source

In most developed countries, cancer is the second largest cause of death after cardiovascular disease, and epidemiological evidence points to this trend emerging in the less developed world

"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."

Cancer is a global issue and is among the most feared diseases in the world. It is estimated that the yearly incidence of cancer could be 15 million per year by 2020 (World Health Organization 2003). Given this alarming forecast, it is little wonder that the prevention of cancer is of utmost importance.

Additional benefits of cancer prevention
Prevention recommendations for cancer can also prevent other chronic conditions, thus making it preferable to providing a cure for cancer alone. The Seven major modifiable risk factors for cancer are smoking, poor nutrition, having a physically inactive lifestyle, being overweight or obese, alcohol misuse , exposure to UV radiation, chemicals and drugs.

Cancer is on the Rise.
The rate of rise is dramatic, doubling in the last 30 years. Furthermore, of the estimated 560,000 cancer victims who would die in 1997, most of them could have prevented their illness had they paid attention to some simple lifestyle factors.

A FEW THINGS TO BE AWARE OF

Cancer develops when cells in a part of the body begin to grow out of control.

Normal body cells grow, divide, and die in an orderly fashion. Because cancer cells continue to grow and divide, they are different from normal cells. Instead of dying, they outlive normal cells and continue to form new abnormal cells.

Virus cause cancer?

To be fair, the history of cancer-virus research is littered with false starts and embarrassing missteps. In 1926, a Danish scientist scored a Nobel Prize for showing that parasitic worms cause stomach cancer; it was later discovered that the "tumors" were actually lesions, triggered by vitamin deficiency. In the early 1970s scientists still believed that many if not most human cancers were triggered by some sort of infection. Famed HIV scientist Robert Gallo spent years at the National Cancer Institute trolling for the viral culprit, but most of his studies were never replicated and by the end of the decade, the hypothesis had been abandoned. "You have to tread carefully with findings like these," says Robert Weinberg, a biology professor and cancer researcher at MIT. "The majority of these claims tend to go up in smoke."

Today we know that at least three cancers are virus-induced: cervical cancer (Human Papiloma Virus, or HPV), liver cancer (Hepatitis B), and lymphoma (Epstein-Barr virus). But many questions still need answers before scientists can add brain cancer and CMV to that list.

Professor Robert Souhami, director of clinical research for Cancer Research UK, said: 'Around 15-20% of all cancers are caused by viruses, so it's vital that we get a better handle on the role of viral infection.

Your Immune System and Cancer

What your immune system does
The immune system protects the body against infection by bacteria, viruses and other parasites. It is really a collection of responses that the body makes to infection. So it is sometimes called the 'immune response'.

There is a philosophy which says that we live in an ocean of bacteria and viruses. It is not the microorganisms that cause disease, it is an inefficient immune system. We see the evidence of this truth constantly around us. One person in an office gets a very bad cold. The one sitting next to him doesn't get a sniffle. Certainly both were exposed to the same microorganisms. What is the difference? "The persons immune system",,,it destroys cells foreign to the body.

The immune system is important to cancer patients in many ways because

The cancer can weaken the immune system
Cancer treatment can weaken the immune system
The immune system may help to fight your cancer
The cancer can weaken the immune system by spreading into the bone marrow where the cells that help fight infection are made. This happens most often in leukaemia or lymphoma. But it can happen with other cancers too. The cancer in the bone marrow stops the bone marrow making so many blood cells.

Chemotherapy and radiotherapy can weaken immunity by causing a drop in the number of white blood cells made in the bone marrow. Apart from bone marrow or stem cell transplants, this effect on the bone marrow is temporary. High doses of steroids can also weaken your immune system temporarily.

Some cells of the immune system can recognise cancer cells as abnormal and kill them.

An expression in one area of the alternative medical treatment of cancer is this; "All cancer is the result of an immune system that didn't destroy mutant cells" Obviously, cancer cells are foreign to the body. The immune system of a healthy person destroys "10,000" mutated (cancer) cells every day. When this defense ceases, the cancer can multiply and become a clinical case of cancer

Now, suppose that instead of damaging the body's only defense against cancer with chemicals and radiation, we focus on strengthening the immune system so it will do it's job,and work in harmony with medical protocols? This is exactly what a large segment of alternative treatments do.

Intuition that tells you (more like SHOUTS at you) that you need to build up your immune system to combat the cancer and to restore your overall health. Once you understand that you need effective treatment to deal with a threat as serious as cancer, and you go ahead with your treatment, you still need to listen to your intuition. It does make sense that your immune system needs to be nurtured. Here are some suggestions to help you help yourself.

Didn't Royal Rife tell them this

Nutrition, stress reduction, support groups, exercise—parasite and virus reduction,intriguing new studies suggest that these fundamental but non-traditional interventions may strengthen the immune system.

	The Latest Rife Systems "None of Dr. Rife's previous instruments ever had the capability that this instrument had.. Dr. Johnson pointed this fact out in his letter. "The major difference between this new Rife Ray #5 Clinical instrument and Dr. Rife’s previous instruments is the fact that this new instrument could produce over one hundred harmonic side bands simultaneously. It was this new harmonic sideband capability in this Beam Ray Clinical instrument which makes this sweep we are discussing on this page possible." "I can assure you that no one, not even myself, could help but be astounded at the results we are now obtaining with the assistance of our new machines and our new band of MOR's.(Mortal oscillatory rate)" (Letter from Dr. Johnson to Dr. Gruner (copy sent to Dr. Rife) dated, November 4, 1936."

	Rife machines and Multiwave oscillators are claimed to complement each other based on the principle that life forms absorb energy. A multiwave Oscillator uses this principle to strengthen cells within the body to resist disease while a Rife machine uses this principle to destroy microorganisms with an overdose of frequency energy.
	Multiwave oscillator "You cannot poison your body into health with drugs, chemo or radiation. The holistic approach treats the whole animal, ignites the body's internal healing force and stimulates the body's natural abilities to heal itself. "Health can only be achieved with healthful living" T.C.Fry As cells, with their varying rates of vibration, make up the human body ...it necessarily follows that the human mechanism— is a collection of living batteries. The organs of the human body each have their own rate of vibration. In the healthful body these different rates of vibration are properly synchronized or balanced. The human body is a perfect battery, susceptible to the cosmic or magnetic currents that are everywhere present in the universe. Looking outside the Square Most illness is an autoimmune illness. When your immune system cannot ward off a problem in your system in time, something fails. Your only defense is your immune system. By raising the oscillating frequency of every atom in your body, we are increasing the rate at which the immune system operates as well as eliminating the negative toxins your body is trying to fight off. The quantum fluctuations (vibrations) that make up the memory of the cells of our body start creating different "memories". This type of frequency reprogramming allows the body to remember the natural effectiveness of the immune system and regenerate back 100% to its original state. More Information Click Here
