Too Little Oxygen to the Cells: The No 1 Cause of Cancer?

Cancer is one of the most frightening diseases that we as a species face today. Almost everyone has experienced the devastating impact of cancer; either first hand or from having watched a friend or loved one that suffered at the hands of this deadly disease. And yet despite the threat posed by cancer, despite the thousands who die from it each and every year, the modern medical community blatantly ignores information about the cause of cancer that has been known for almost 80 years.

How and Why Cancer Cells Form

The cause of cancer has been known since 1931 when renowned scientist Dr. Warburg won the Nobel Prize for making the startling discovery that whenever healthy, normal cells are deprived of 60% of their oxygen, they turn cancerous in an attempt to survive.

Normal cells generate energy through the process of respiration using oxygen. When cells are damaged by the buildup of carcinogens and other toxic chemicals, however, the respiratory enzymes are blocked and oxygen levels drop, which forces the cell to revert to a primitive survival mechanism: fermentation. Through the fermentation of sugars and the energy that this process provides, the damaged cell is able to continue to survive. But it's an imperfect existence.

Cells that rely on fermentation for energy become trapped in a vicious cycle of survival where all they can do is use their limited energy to divide and multiply in a bid to survive. They essentially become "dumb" cells that can no longer perform the function for which they were originally intended, nor can they communicate with the rest of the body. And as they divide and multiply, they produce excess toxins in the form of lactic acid, which prevents the transport of oxygen to neighboring cells, further exacerbating the problem.

Cure Cancer Naturally by Raising Oxygen Levels

Based on Dr. Warburg's research, the natural course of treatment for cancer would seem to be to raise oxygen levels in the cells of the body, thereby preventing them from becoming cancerous. Raising oxygen levels in cells that are already cancerous would also kill them and help to reduce cancer to a more manageable level so that the body's immune system can fight back more effectively.

Unfortunately, modern medicine has chosen to take a completely different route in "treating" cancer, if you can even call it that. Rather than addressing the root problem (lack of oxygen), they instead flood the body with toxic chemicals in the form of chemotherapy and radiation, which ultimately damages the respiratory enzymes in healthy cells and leads many of them to turn into cancer. In other words, the very treatment that is supposed to "cure" cancer, damages the body so profoundly as to leave it vulnerable to developing even more cancer cells!

A more effective treatment would be to help naturally raise your own oxygen levels by avoiding many of the harmful carcinogens, toxins and other pollutions that damage cells and cause cancer in the first place. This means avoiding or at least limiting exposure to:

Food - excitotoxins, herbicides, pesticides, agricultural chemicals, food emulsifiers, food stabilizers, artificial flavoring and colorings, preservatives, additives, refined sugar and table salt.Air - household sprays, pollens, dust mites, polluted air, toxic fumes, cleaning supplies, tobacco smoke, perfumes or stale and stagnant air.Water - industrial pollution, chemicals, rusts, heavy metals, chlorine, bacteria and water contaminated with inorganic minerals.Medical Treatments - low quality supplements, vaccinations, artificial hormones, antibiotics, chemotherapy or non-prescription and prescription drugs, which are all major poisons.Dental Treatments - fluoride treatments, braces, implants, acrylic dentures, root canals and mercury amalgam fillings.Radiation - UV radiation, CAT scans, MRI scans, ultra-sound scans, gamma rays, x-rays, cell phones, electromagnetic gadgets, microwave ovens, television waves, radio waves and radiotherapy.Household - laundry supplies, non-stick cookware, aluminum pots, gas stoves, moth balls, all kinds of household sprays, cleaning agents, heating systems, new asbestos ceilings, new carpets, varnishes and new paints.Personal Care Items - hair dyes, cosmetics that contain lead, nail polish, toothpaste, deodorants, shampoos, soaps and perfumes.

Avoiding all of these will significantly reduce your risk of developing cancer and help to promote a healthy immune system.

Germs Don't Cause Cancer

The germs involved in an infection become active and infectious only when physical impurities and waste matter have gathered or tissue damage has already occurred. This is true whether they are of a bacterial or viral origin and whether they are generated within the body or introduced from the external environment. Destructive microorganisms (those involved in an infection) simply have no business in a clean, well-circulated, and oxygen-rich environment. There is nothing to be disposed of, and no immune response is necessary (fever, swelling of the lymph nodes, an increase of immune cells, or other such self-defensive measures) to protect the body.

Even if harmful germs were to enter cell tissue in a healthy body, they would do it no harm. A virus simply cannot penetrate into the nucleus of a well-oxygenated cell because exposure to oxygen would kill it. A well-oxygenated cell also produces powerful anti-viral drugs, such as interferon. If for some reason a virus has made contact with a cell, but its presence is not beneficial to the body, the virus will be destroyed by the cell's defense mechanisms or the general immune system. Viruses do not help cells mutate into cancer cells, unless this is in the best interest of the body. We should not fall into the trap of misinterpreting this to be an act of self-destruction. It is important to recall at this point that cancer is not a disease but a survival mechanism that occurs only when all other protective measures have failed.

There is profound purpose and intelligence at every level of physical creation, from the smallest of particles to the most complex star clusters in the large-scale universe. Just because many scientists and doctors prefer to see nature as behaving in a random, incoherent fashion does not mean it actually is chaotic and unpredictable. Cancer is not as chaotic as the "experts" would have us believe. It has as much purpose and meaning as does a virus or bacterium. A virus only infects the nucleus of a cell that is on the verge of becoming anaerobic. To find virus material in cancer cells is, therefore, not proof that viruses cause cancer. In fact, viruses try to prevent the demise of the body. They are created for the body and by the body. It is completely normal for weak, deteriorating cells to transform their protits colloids into bacteria, viruses, and fungi to help prevent more damage to the body than has already occurred due to the accumulation of toxic waste matter.

Suppressing an infection, such as chickenpox, with germ-killing medication destroys much of the germ population. However, it is the germ population that helps to stimulate a much-needed immune response to rid the body of cancer-causing toxins. Modern vaccination programs are largely responsible for the significant deterioration of natural immunity among the vaccinated populations around the world today. The body does not acquire real immunity to infectious diseases by exposing it to vaccines (antibody production alone does not create immunity); in fact, with each vaccine the immune system becomes more depleted.

New vaccines that, for example, are said to prevent cervical cancer (connected with the human papilloma virus or HPV) merely force the body to move toxins into other areas. This may give rise to the appearance that the "enemy" is dead and the body is now cured and safe. Not by a long shot! The short-term gain of becoming symptom-free through the use of such magic bullet approaches can have serious repercussions in the long-term. These treatments aimed at producing a quick symptomatic relief actually prevent the body from employing the assistance of destructive microbes to help break down and remove deposits in the body that resemble nuclear waste.

The toxic waste and cell debris gathered in the body can act like a time bomb, but most people do not want to hear it ticking. They stick their heads in the sand, hoping that somehow the problem will simply go away. However, when the ticking becomes too unnerving and frightening (symptoms), the resulting visit to the doctor will lead to the smashing of the timing device, but will leave the bomb intact. Hence, it is just a matter of time before the bomb explodes; only this time, since the clock is now gone, there won't be much of a warning. On the other hand, allowing the body to receive assistance from destructive germs may not only defuse the time bomb but also dismantle it. The toxic secretions from these microbes prompt the immune system to launch a preemptive strike against potential cancer formation. A spontaneous remission of cancer is not a rare miracle. It happens in millions of people who unknowingly diffuse these "time bombs" through an infection, such as the simple cold or flu. This is how 95 percent of all cancers come and go without any medical intervention.

Based on current statistical information, we can estimate that treating cancer with suppressive methods, e.g. radiation, chemotherapy, and surgery, reduces the chance of complete remission from 28% percent to 7% or less. In other words, medical treatment is responsible for the deaths of at least 21,000 people in every 100,000 cancer patients! These 21,000 people would recover if they did not receive any treatment at all. According to the American Cancer Society's estimated 2008 cancer mortality rates, 565,650 men and women will die from cancer this year (2008). That's 6,000 deaths more than in 2007. In a country that supposedly has the most advanced and successful medical system in the world, this trend clearly shows that the currently applied symptom-oriented approaches to cancer are heavily flawed and in fact, have failed.

Free Radicals Cannot Be Considered A Cause Of Illness And Aging

Imagine if we actually focused on removing the root causes of cancer. We would find that cancer is actually not a threatening disease at all, and certainly not the killer disease we have been made to believe it is.

You may wonder about those bad oxygen free radicals that everyone talks about. Is it not true that they are behind most cancers and other diseases? If it is true, how can we defend ourselves against them, other than by removing them with such antioxidants as vitamin C?

Oxygen free radicals are highly reactive oxygen molecules. They are involved in causing rust in iron and in turning fats rancid. They are also found in arteries that have become occluded with plaque. Many researchers believe that they are involved in the formation of cancer cells. However, like bacteria, these molecules have been given an unjustifiably bad reputation. Free radicals have existed since the beginning of life on Earth. Why would they now lead to cancer in one out of every two people when just 100 years ago only 1 in 8,000 people suffered the same fate? Did they just become a lot more 'vicious' in the past 100 years, ever so eager to oxidize us to death? The answer is a resounding 'No'.

They only oxidize and destroy what is already weak and potentially damaging to the body. They never attack healthy, vital cell tissue, but they naturally turn up where there is something to be destroyed that has become useless and is an impending threat to the body's physiological balance. Weak or worn out cells and accumulated metabolic waste material, which the body's lymphatic system normally removes without a problem, become a hazard when they are trapped in the tissues and the free radicals are not doing their job. Increasing free radical activity and spreading infectious germs are therefore the next best alternatives to the body's own cleansing and eliminative efforts, especially when the body's immune system is already compromised. Thus, neither free radicals nor germs can rightfully be considered a cause of illness and aging.

Since illness is actually a healing mechanism and aging is a form of advanced congestion in the body, free radicals must, in fact, be considered the beneficial effects of illness and aging.

The more often infections are 'prevented' or suppressed through medical interventions, the less efficient the liver and kidneys, as well as the immune, lymphatic, and digestive systems become in keeping the body's cell tissues free of harmful, noxious deposits.

Yet, not only infections and free radicals act as cleansers or scavengers of obstructive waste and damaged, weak cells, but pain also serves as a healing aid. Pain is merely a signal that the body is actively involved in a healing response that includes repairing damaged tissues and cleansing itself. By suppressing pain with medication, you short-circuit the body's internal communication and healing mechanisms and practically force it to hold on to, and eventually suffocate in, its own waste. Cancer is a natural consequence of dealing with such a distressing, unnatural situation.
