Sick and tired of "they". You know, "They say that cancer is caused by whatever

I am going to take a risk here Writer, because I hear you, there are many things people say causes this or that, or heals this or that. But I saw this topic, from 3 different friends, and 3 different formats in as many days. I didn't read or view the article or video, but to me, it sounds reasonable. You don't have to watch the video, but I at least want to offer it to you as a friend who is really trying to help.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Grtrm8tk4d4&sns=fb

"They" have no real clue as to what causes cancer. They see a group of people eating around and a bout the same things that develop similar problems and poof...the common food caused it. They can pretty much prove the fatty foods and the heart issue..but cancer..it's the sudden production of abnormal cells. One day a cell starts reproducing abnormally for whatever reason and that is cancer. I wonder if it has anything to do with food at all. It might have something to do with the specific chemistry of a person with a reaction to certain exposures but there is noway to predict it. I am thinking that is why there hasn't been a cure. If you can't identify the problem, they certainly can't prevent or cure it. I think if someone said this or that caused cancer...I would smile sweetly and say..yes...and so does the detergent you use on you clothes..and oh..your not wearing sunscreen are you? I am being nasty..I know...but I also know it's not easy to hear everyone's opinion about the things you eat or what you have done to find a "reason" too. Ok..polite....Smile and say..well..according to them..everything causes it, so no one is safe. Unless you love them...I like the nasty response better though

I know what you mean. I honestly think it's because they don't know what causes cancer and they're shooting in the dark. This study seems to point to this and that study points to something else... Whatever it is, it's increasing cancer cases more and more. I think it's high time "they" got out of the guessing game and got serious about finding out what causes it. My guesses are as good as theirs and I'm guessing a form of malnutrition or overload of toxins caused by our horrible food system in conjunction with so many radio/electric waves in the air. But mine is a guess, just like theirs is. Ignore them.

Living causes cancer, but what's the alternative?

I get so annoyed with all the foods that are suppose to cause this or that. Why don't they do studies on why people are so greedy and why they will not give out the cure for cancer and the common cold, etc. I believe there is a cure for cancer and the common cold, etc., Probably for heart disease as well as diabetes. Why should they let everyone know there is a cure for these things, when they can bleed everyone dry. No that I got that out of my system. I watched my sister die of lung cancer. Not a pretty site. All of these companies that produce food products should be ashamed of themselves. As they put chemicals into these food products that can be causing alot of the problems. If it is not in the food, it is in the cleaning products, it is probably in perfumes, candles, anything we spray into the air, etc. When we didn't have as many products on the shelves to choose from, we didn't have all of the items put into these products either. Things were made simpler years ago. Sometimes I wish things would go back to a simpler way of life. Chemicals on our fruits and vegetables, etc., all of these can cause health problems. I often wonder if something in ourselves or in our DNA is what contributes to the diseases, or makes us more susceptible to cancers, heart disease, etc.

Hi Really sorry for your parents. I face a similar situation with mine too. They are both alive but regarding the matter of nutrition that is strange. My dad always eat fatty foods, meat, not vegetables anf generally has a bad nutrition. He is 78 years old and he is completely healthy, he has an organism of a young person.My mom on the other hand she followed and still has a healthy nutrition with vegetables,fruits etc Unfortunately she has vry high level cholesterols,high pressure and she lives with pills. What i am trying to say is that cancer or whatever disease someone will have in his life depends on the heritance, genes and how his body immune system reacts. And i also like to add that STRESS can cause many problems and even cancer.

the problem, i think, is that cancer is a collective name for a lot of different illnesses all involving unregulated cell growth (i got that last bit from wikipedia). and so the problem is that because all these illnesses are called "cancer" people think there is a common cause and a common cure. whereas that is not the case. there are probably things in our environment that interfere with cell growth, but i would avoid all simplistic cure suggestions, as the reasons why cells don't grow properly is probably too complicated to be solved easily. in the end though, the only thing that matters, is what might have caused yours. i would argue that you could ensure your diet is as healthy as possible, so that you assist your body in fighting back, and ideally remove any emotionally stressful things too, so that you make things easy for your body. but beyond that i would take advice from the doctors, not helpful friends, though no harm in having a word with the man upstairs. though don't get too annoyed with your friends, it proves they care about you.
