RE: who gets cancer

[Guest guest]

The more I listen the more I conclude that it is wrong to expect the same

situation for every person - some people just have strong constitutions

others get cancer - why?

I do know why in my case - a combination of over work/stress, a lack of

sunshine, and a change of diet tipped me from being OK to having raging

terminal cancer.

Given 6 months (and after 3 months the cancer was tearing me apart so bad I

doubted I would make 4 months) I decided to start changing -radically -

replacing bad things with good things in every field - to be open to

techniques and ideas

What I found astonished me

And I am alive and living a quality life over 2 years later - this time 2

years ago I doubted I had 6 weeks left.

Some people have postulated I was just lucky - I think I 'made my own luck'

But if you have cancer and stay in that old rut - how much of a chance are

you giving your body?

Maybe if you have a readily treatable cancer that may not matter - just take

the pills or chemo.

But I have/had melanoma - no magic pills or chemo - in fact the white white

shirt said 'treatments will not prolong your longevity'

So I HAD to change to survive

I wish you luck with you 'making your own luck'

Love and Healing

Though, I will say a good diet will more than likely will prolong life but not

ensure it. My Father comes from sturdy Welsh stock. Both sides of his family

members usually live over 100 or close to it...They don't die of anything other

than just being worn out. Some were vegetarians and took their health

seriously. Most were not and many abusive. My Grandma loved bacon fat and

almost tried to cook everything in it. Candy was a staple....

My Mother's family is another story. They die of all sorts of diseases from ALS

to cancer at too young of an age. My Grandmother and Grandfather never smoked,

drank, swore and was more than a little careful of what went into her and her

chalderns bodies. They organically gardened and canned. ...She died of cancer at

52 and my Grandfather at 70.

Two months before I turned 52 I was diagnosed with cancer. My lifestyle has not

been perfect but much better than most.

I have to believe playing the blame game in " as to why we get cancer " is

useless, fruitless and unnecessarily demeaning. Either your body can deal with

invaders or it can't. But, you can bring in outside forces (such as foods,

herbs, drugs, etc) that can.
