Chemotherapy, It’s Not a Cancer Cure

This year marks the 60th anniversary of the first report of a trial for chemotherapy to treat cancer. Do you know that it evolved from the use of poison gas during both the world wars. Gas warfare killed 91,000 soldiers, and invalided another 1.25 million, in World War I, including one sulphur mustard attack in 1917, which claimed 14,278 casualties in very short time. And so the use of sulphur mustard continued, by the Italians against the Ethiopians in 1936, and in an accidental explosion at Bari during World War II, which consigned a thousand soldiers to a slow and agonising death. After the Bari attack, doctors noticed that the victims’ white blood cell count dropped alarmingly, and wondered whether nitrogen mustard might have some medical use. Cancer starts with the mutation of the genetic materials in the chromosome of the affected cell. The key is to reverse this genetic damage. Cancer results not only from the unabated genetic damage, but also from the failure of the prevention of repair systems of the body that are meant to stop cancer cells from multiplying, and spreading.

To protect your genes, first, you must prevent sun damage by avoiding excessive sun exposure. Cancer patients do not see this as an important strategy, but they should realise that skin free radicals add to the total free radical load and require plenty of antioxidants to neutralise, depriving that available for the rest of the body. Next, you have to avoid getting toxins into your body, especially through smoking, and unfortunately, also through the air that we breathe (the air is almost always polluted these days), and some foods that we eat (fruits and veggies that are contaminated with pesticides, and fish and meats contaminated with chemicals and heavy metals). You also have to get rid of as much of the toxins that are already in you. Our cells have to repair their chromosomes, which are continually damaged by free-radicals and chemicals. At the same time, we have to make millions of new cells daily to replace the dying cells. Free radicals are the major culprit causing genetic damage, and antioxidants are their antidote. Fruits, veggies and green foods are excellent sources of cancer-fighting antioxidants.

Some hormones influence the onset and progress of certain cancers. We have not fully understood the roles hormones play in other cancers. For the body to be healthy and the immune defence system working in the best possible way, all the hormones in the body must be present in the most healthy levels. There are of course certain cancerous and non-cancerous tumours which involve the glandular cells and produce excessive hormones, or conversely, cause severe reduction in hormone levels.

You can eat tons of veggies without ever worrying of growing fat, because they are loaded with nutrients but have minimal calories. The only exceptions are the starchy ones, which are not actually vegetables anyway. If you take spinach, you will lose weight while you gain nutrients (more calories are required to chew, digest and absorb spinach than the calories it contains). Fruits are excellent sources of cancer fighting nutrients too, even though they contain more calories. However, these are nutrient-packed calories compared to the empty-calories of polished rice and refined sugar! Intake of red meat should be reduced, and burnt meat (BBQ or overfried), excess sugars and excess salt should be avoided. This diet is not only anti-cancer, it will also protect you against most of the chronic diseases like heart disease, stroke and diabetes, and will slow down your ageing.
