When I mention what I would do if I got cancer, people get scared for me.
However, I do not believe in chemotherapy because, in order to fight cancer, you are given a drug to suppress your immune system and then rely on the doctors' word that chemotherapy will kill the cancer cells.
Yes, you have to have faith that the chemo won't kill you before the cancer does, because it causes nausea, vomiting and loss of appetite.
So basically, it's a gamble. Either the chemo kills the cancer or you die of cancer. Or, you could have the cancer removed IF it is near you navel (e.g. ovarian cancer and possibly testicular cancer, both of which do not send cancer seed cells to the liver to be spread throughout the body.
However, most people with colon cancer usually die of old age before the cancer becomes a problem. I know this to be true, because my dad died before his cancer became a problem.
So, despite being at risk for prostate cancer, testicular cancer and colon cancer, and knowing that they form slowly, I am not in a rush to get tested because oncologists make money from patients' panic.
In short, chemotherapy makes them money. It's the only "cure" because the anti-cancer medication is big money.
So they subject you to "torture" and if the cell levels are low, declare a "cure", saying your cancer is in remission.
But if you ask how cancer comes about, they give the "I don't know" song and dance, when most cancers are caused by stress and physiological changes due to cortisol and its impact on the immune system.
So ideally, a calm person is likely not to get cancer while an overstressed person might get cancer. No doubt, uptight people who keep their thoughts to themselves get cancer too.
It's how the person reacts to stress that promotes the imbalance in the body's immune system leading to cancer.
This means that, had Angelina Jolie been more laidback, she probably wouldn't have needed the pre-emptive surgeries she paid for to prevent breast and ovary cancer - yes, she cut off her breasts and got a hysterectomy to prevent cancer, which is worse than chemotherapy.
However, she is still going to get cancer because she is so much on the go that her body is in stress, even when she is minding her kids.
It's not like i just decided not to opt for chemo IF I ever got cancer yesterday. I'd decided on this circa 1994.
Would I suffer more? Maybe, but chemo causes more suffering on the longrun, because you will have to take an immunosummpressant for the rest of your life.
That means, you could die from the simple flu more easily. Even mild food poisoning could kill you.
So maybe now you see why I don't believe in chemotherapy.
If my lysine supplementation leads to cancer, then so be it. I'm sure the arginine and citrulline will moderate that.
I also would tell my doctor if I ever get tested for cancer, don't share the positives with me. While I'd be happy to hear I am free of cancer, I also do not want to know that I might have it and my immune system is happily proliferating more cancer.
Once upon a time, I had my own theory about cancer being shen (the consciousness) using chi (the living energy of the universe) due to failing ching (the libido). Because ching is limited, life is limited for each person. However, chi is almost eternal and shen gets passed on to the next generation because it is also supernatural.
Indeed, shen is also the power of a god, which is why the Chinese traditionally pray to Xuan Wu and other gods, much to the ire of the evangelical Christian converts who willingly become ignorant to the wisdom of their ancestors.
However, I am a Buddhist. I am also not Chinese. So there is no cultural bias to cloud my understanding of how chi, ching and shen work. If it came down to it, then I'd consult a TCM practitioner as part of an overall qigong regimen IF I could afford it to prevent cancer. Instead, I'll stick to my supplements and hope the increased Human Growth Factor does not trigger cancer.
Though i have heard that daily vigorous exercise for more than two hours a day is a good cancer preventative. It's lack of exercise that promotes the negative effects of stress to the point of cancer. Thus, sitting on your ass 24-7 promotes cancer while getting at least 8 hours of exercise a week reduces the chance of developing cancer.
But don't take my word for it. Google cancer. You'll be glad you did.

HERV and cancer: a hypothesis
Has anyone researched the role of (human endogenous retrovirus) HERV and its role in causing cancer?
The following is hypothetical. If any of it is does not happen, then I require MEDPLUS and other database evidence to improve it.
HERV are formed from human DNA in response to immuuological challenges. Its role during pregnancy is to prevent cell death in response to aggressive attack by the mother's immune system (mainly any macrophages that make it past the placenta filter).
In response to threat, HERV even infects macrophages, which stops producing hydrogen peroxide and becomes a HERV factory. Once the HERV uses all of the DNA and RNA in the white blood cells, new NERV emerge, and the blood cell dies.
At this point, the liver detects the dead white blood cells and begins to process it. HERV virii are then released and infect liver cells.
HERV in the liver replicate when exposed to cortisol during stress. Their purpose is to infest stem cells in the liver, which then go everywhere in the body causing cancer.

HERV-W Linked to Bipolar Disorder, Multiple Sclerosis and Schizophrenia; XMRV Retrovirus & CFS
According to the following link, bipolar depression, MS and schizophrenia may be due to human endogenous retrovirus (HERV-W). A compromised immune system affects monocytes (white blood cells) which activate the HERV-W virus.
As well, the XMRV has been associated with chronic fatigue syndrome and prostate cancer.
This leads me to speculate the following, which might be validated by medical evidence:
IMHO this may explain how mirtazapine works: its anti-histamine action affects the histamine part of inflammation. Inflammation results when mast cells are broken down by scavanger white blood cells, releasing histamine. How this may trigger HERV-W and XMRV is in part an immune reaction resulting from a complex combination of factors including stress and a viral infection, specifically from the herpes family.
Another side effect of antihistamines is sedation. Thus mirtazapine's antidepressant action may most likely be due to the thorough bed rest I get with daily dosage, which reduce my stress levels.

the cold: part 2
About two weeks ago, I caught the first part of a cold, complete with fever.
Yet my coughs produced results, though it was mainly phlegm without color and thin, like mucus.
Two weeks later, and five days after strep throat, the results are with color (greenish) and thick.
As well, the taste in my mouth is like millions of my body's macrophages are successfully decimating the streptococcus bacteria.
Indeed, my coughs are less frequent but with results.
Ah, the miracle of a working immune system is precious!

Cancer is Another Form of Autoimmune Disease
Stress + subclinical malnutrition, including Omega-6 > Omega-3 imbalance = autoimmune diseases (including cancer)
Cancer is an autoimmune disease. Reasoning: the same medications used to treat cancers are also used to treat autoimmune diseases. This includes artificial cortisol, anti-metabolites, immuno-suppressives, and antibiotics.
Possibly some forms of mental illness are side effects of autoimmune disease (including cancer) such as depression and diabetes-related schizophrenia. In the case of diabetes, the autoimmune disease (cancer) attacks the pancreas.
However artificial cortisol causes both pain and weight gain. Both anti-metabolites and immuno-suppressives may stop the immune system from working, causing infections (pneunomia and TB). Antibiotics can cause bacteria to mutate into virulent forms.
Stress + Omega 6 = Omega-3, optimal nutrition, rest & exercise = health
Health is lack of autoimmune disease e.g. a healthy immune system. It is due to optimal nutrition in the diet which consists of an equal balance of Omega-3 and Omega-6 essential fatty acids, optimal vitamins and minerals. Also included are optimal doses of tyrosine (helps produce dopamine, adrenalin and noradrenalin), 5HTP (helps produce serotonin), valeric acid (used to make GABA), and choline (used to make acetylcholine).
