Best Ways To Prevent Cancer | Care2 Healthy & Green Living

Editor?s Note: Sincere apologies for the confusion between the headline and ?the content; the incorrect headline was applied to this article; it has since been updated.

One would think that applying all that modern science has to offer over the last 40 years would have brought us far closer to eradicating cancer. Just compare it to other technology areas. Our cell phones now are more powerful computers than the largest supercomputers of the time.

But instead, cancer rates have?increased during that span of time, and?now surpass heart disease as the number one killer of Americans?between the ages of 45 to 74. The odds are now very high that you or someone you know has cancer, is dying or has already died from it.

Why has ?the War on Cancer? Failed so Miserably?

Writing for the?Skeptical Inquirer, Reynold Spector lists the following six reasons?for the failure:

1. We don?t understand the cause/pathogenesis in most cases of cancer
2. Screening for useful drugs against cancer cells has not worked
3. Most treatments (except surgery) are nonspecific cell killers and not ?smart?
4. Animal models of cancer are often inadequate
5. Clinical trials and the grant system foster innovation
6. Unproductive ?fads? in research come and go

However, while these may factor into the equation of failure, I believe this list is yet another example of exactly what?s wrong with the entire system, which is: ignoring the fact that cancer is likely a man-made disease caused primarily by toxic overload.

Just a few months ago, I wrote about a fascinating study into ancient mummies that determined cancer is note a ?natural? disease at all, and genetics are not a primary factor. Tumors were extremely rare until recent times, when pollution and poor diet became issues. So why are the medical and science communities, by and large, ignoring these basics?
