Cancer is not a disease, it comes from the salvation of the body.

There's nothing wrong with it. There's nothing wrong with it. In a short sentence, it tells the most straightforward wishes of people at the moment. More specifically, among all diseases, cancer is undoubtedly the last thing people want.

Li Ao, a writer in Taiwan Province Province who just died of brain cancer, read widely before his death. When his life counted down because of cancer, he finally had to feel that he had struggled for it all his life, but it was empty. Indeed, once you are diagnosed with cancer, it is almost equivalent to being sentenced to death, and everything you have worked hard suddenly loses its meaning.

According to the statistics of the World Health Organization, since the 1990s, the incidence of cancer worldwide has increased significantly year by year. The number of people who died of cancer in large and medium-sized cities in China has accounted for the first place in all causes of death. There are about10.6 million new cancer patients in China every year, and about10.3 million people die of cancer every year, which is equivalent to two people dying of cancer every minute.

Why has the number of cancer patients increased significantly in the past two or three decades? Is there a causal relationship between this and the change of our living environment and lifestyle? Faced with the cancer incidence rate increasing by 3% every year, as well as endless air quality problems, food safety problems, life and work pressure problems. Is there any practical way to keep us away from cancer as much as possible?

When we are afraid and confused about the frequent occurrence of cancer, if someone says that cancer is not a disease, it is actually a survival mechanism of the body. Would you believe it?

The man who subverts the existing medical common sense is Andre Moritz, the author of this book. Andre Moritz was born in Germany and later settled in the United States. He is an expert in Ayurvedic medicine, a traditional Indian medicine, and is proficient in Chinese and Western medicine and various natural therapies. Ayurveda is Sanskrit, meaning life science, and it is one of the oldest medical systems in the world. In addition, it also represents a concept of health preservation and a healthy lifestyle.

For decades, André Moritz has been a health consultant to many important government officials in Europe, Asia and Africa. The author has been a doctor for decades, and after witnessing and treating countless cancer cases, he has completed this subversive work.

In this book, the author clearly points out that cancer is not a disease by expounding the occurrence and treatment dilemma of cancer. Starting with the understanding of cancer, the author takes us back to the causes of cancer. "It is not the tumor that kills cancer patients, but many reasons behind it lead to cell mutation and tumor growth."

Only by tracing back to the source can we find a real solution. Next, let's walk into the book "Cancer is not a disease" to understand what cancer is, how cancer is formed and how to prevent it.

Re-recognize cancer

Imagine that when we walk on the busy street, those passers-by, whether old or young, have cancer cells in their bodies to varying degrees. Do you still think cancer will make people turn pale?

Yes, everyone has cancer cells more or less in his body. The cancer we are talking about is a certain number of cancer cells, which can be detected by instruments. Under normal circumstances, healthy cells will not become cancer cells for no reason. Therefore, cancer cells themselves are not so terrible.

In the first chapter, the author discusses people's misunderstanding of cancer from many angles, including: the myth of genes and cancer, the harm of free radicals, the dilemma of medicine, the role of chemotherapy and so on. These aspects, which seem to be closely related to cancer, are revealed beyond our common sense after the author's analysis one by one.

Essence 1: These back-to-back men

With the development and popularization of science, the word gene is more and more familiar to people. When we see old people who live long, we think that old people have longevity genes. In the face of major diseases, we will consider the decisive role played by genes, such as how cancer-causing genes are tempered.

"Cell biologists have confirmed that the state and changes of external environment and internal physiology, as well as our perception of the environment, directly control the behavior of our genes." That is to say, the reason why a defective gene can lead to the uncontrolled growth of tumor is not because it is "bad" in essence, but because it is forced to mutate under external stimulation. As we often say, the survival of the fittest, in the hypoxia and extremely acidic environment, genes with congenital defects become anaerobic cancer cells in order to survive.

The only function and purpose of genes is to replicate cells. It is not so unfathomable, and it never wants to control our bodies. As for how genes replicate in cells, it depends on ourselves and what kind of environment we have created for genes.

Let's talk about free radicals that have always had a bad reputation. Speaking of free radicals, women who love beauty are no strangers. Many anti-aging skin care products will invariably emphasize their anti-free radical, that is, antioxidant effect. Free radicals attach to the skin like rust, forming spots, and also attach to the body such as blood vessel walls.

Free radicals react with oxygen molecules very easily, and cancer cells are also called anaerobic cells, so many researchers believe that free radicals are related to the formation of cancer cells. Then the question comes, "Free radicals existed at the beginning of life on earth. Why did only 1 out of 8,000 people get cancer a hundred years ago, but now there are 1 out of every two Americans? "

The truth is that free radicals will only oxidize and destroy things that have declined and may cause harm to the body. In other words, free radicals can't cause harm if they are healthy enough. Just like 18 years old can't see spots on his face, when he gets older, skin cells begin to weaken, and free radicals will attack and form plaques. Moreover, this is also a goodwill attack initiated by free radicals.

Free radicals are similar to detergents in the human body. They attach to metabolic wastes blocked in weak or damaged cells and tissues, oxidize these useless substances like rust, and then remove them. Without damaged cells and waste, there would be no place for free radicals.

Essence 2: the role of chemotherapy

As we all know, after suffering from cancer, chemotherapy is an inevitable treatment measure, that is, chemical drugs and radiotherapy are used to kill cancer cells. So what is the actual effect of chemotherapy?

A survey conducted by the Radiation Oncology Department of North Sydney Cancer Center in Australia shows that the 5-year survival rate of adult cancer patients in Australia is 60%, but what is the 5-year survival rate after chemotherapy? Only an astonishing 2.3%!

As early as 1990, Dr. abel, an epidemiologist at Heidelberg Cancer Hospital, made a detailed investigation on the clinical research of chemotherapy drugs. He spent several years collecting data from 350 medical centers and thousands of scientific articles published in the most prestigious medical journals. Through analysis and evaluation, Dr. Abel pointed out in the research report that there is no evidence that chemotherapy can "prolong the life of patients with the most common organ cancer".

The author believes that the most fundamental reason why this truth is not known to the public is economic interests. For the pharmaceutical industry all over the world, the cost of chemotherapy is a huge cake, and no one in the relevant interest groups will be willing to give it up.

The clinical definition of the effectiveness of chemotherapy is that chemotherapy can reduce the tumor volume by 50%. However, the temporary shrinkage of tumors does not mean curing cancer or prolonging life. These are two concepts, but they are often confused intentionally or unintentionally.

On the other hand, the side effects of chemotherapy are often overlooked. In real life, we can find that patients receiving chemotherapy usually have obvious symptoms such as vomiting, hair loss and fatigue. Many people think that this is an inevitable reaction of cancer. In fact, cancer patients without chemotherapy will not have these reactions.

Chemotherapy, that is, chemical drugs kill cancer cells, but also inevitably kill normal cells, such as destroying billions of white blood cells and inhibiting nearly hundreds of billions of red blood cells that transport oxygen, leading to the weakening of human immune system and the loss of energy.

"Cancer is not so much a disease as a reaction of the body's self-treatment. It is a state in which the body tries to treat its own imbalance, and sometimes this therapeutic response will last until a person receives chemotherapy (radiotherapy). "

Causes and roots of cancer

As mentioned above, cancer is not caused by genetic predisposition or free radicals. Since it's not our body's fault, who should bear the responsibility?

Over the years, medical treatment has spent more time on the treatment of symptoms, while people have paid more attention to the results of cancer. As we all know, solving symptoms can only alleviate or delay for a period of time at most, which is a method of treating symptoms rather than curing the root cause; Only paying attention to the results has no benefit except increasing the physical and mental burden. Only by finding the cause of cancer and returning to the source of the disease can we really carry out effective prevention and treatment.

About the causes and roots of cancer, it is also the key part of this book. The author reveals how cancer accumulates quietly and without leaving a trace from three aspects: our daily diet structure, living habits and emotions. These carcinogenic factors exist in places that we are used to every day. Our bodies are facing these invisible killers all the time, but we are unaware of it until one day we are suddenly diagnosed with cancer, but it is too late.

Let's take a closer look at how these seemingly ordinary daily lives make the body gradually invaded by cancer cells.

I. protein and trans fats

Protein exists in a large number of meat products, which is the main substance necessary for human body. The "guilty" protein mentioned in this book mainly refers to red meat, such as pork and beef.

Although people often call themselves carnivores, compared with lions, wolves or cats, people's stomachs can only produce one twentieth of hydrochloric acid, which is necessary to digest protein in meat. After eating a lot of meat, most animal proteins will enter the small intestine undigested, of which 20% will be mixed with blood and 80% will rot in situ.

When most protein stops circulating in the body, it will form acid and thicken the blood. In viscous blood, platelets increase sharply and begin to stick together, which makes the blood vessel wall thicker, making it difficult for blood to supply oxygen and nutrients needed by body cells through capillaries.

The blockage of blood vessel wall not only makes cells hungry, but also is surrounded by their own waste, just like being trapped in a garbage dump, cutting off the life of food sources. Therefore, in the harsh living environment, they have no choice but to mutate into "abnormal" cells, no longer rely on oxygen, and turn waste into cancer cells with the energy needed for life.

Another potential hazard of meat comes from the feeding and cooking process, including antibiotics, growth hormones and various compounds. These substances will affect the metabolism of hormones, increase cell reproduction, and increase the damage of free radicals to cells, thus leading to cancer.

According to a health data from the National Cancer Center of the United States, "in an eight-year study of 494,000 participants, the people who eat the most red meat are 25% more likely to develop colorectal cancer, 20% more likely to develop lung cancer and 60% more likely to develop liver cancer".

Trans fats are artificial fats, which are made from saturated fats such as lard through refining, deodorization and even hydrogenation, and through chemical changes. It also has a relatively pleasant and more commonly used name, hydrogenated vegetable oil. This is just a smoke screen. Trans fats have nothing to do with vegetable oils.

Walking into the supermarket, you can see the words "hydrogenated vegetable oil" written on countless food packages, such as potato chips, biscuits, cakes, sauces and so on. Almost all baked goods contain trans fats, and almost all processed, refined and pickled foods contain trans fats. It is not difficult to understand why there is such a confusing name as "hydrogenated vegetable oil" in the unified caliber. Assuming that it is labeled as trans fat, not to mention the relationship with cancer, the word fat alone is enough to scare away greedy customers!

For thousands of years, our bodies have been dealing with natural food. For unnatural substances, our bodies will instinctively resist, thinking them dangerous and refusing to absorb them. Artificial trans fats enter the body and attach to the cell membrane, making cells unable to receive enough oxygen, glucose and even water, just like the oil slick on the sea surface suffocating marine life.

For example, margarine used to make birthday cakes contains up to 54% trans fat, a plastic molecule that is particularly difficult to digest. The human body's natural scavenger free radicals will try to remove the "garbage" attached to the cell membrane. When it corrodes and digests these harmful fats, it will also damage the cell membrane, and free radicals will become beggars.

Damaged cells can't reproduce normally, which weakens the most important body functions such as immunity, digestion and endocrine system, and eventually leads to body aging and cancer.

Second, microwave ovens and sunscreen products.

Nowadays, microwave ovens have become a necessity, from the kitchens of urban families to restaurants and even deli on the street. For the fast-paced life, its convenient and quick function is undoubtedly very practical. Has anyone thought about the principle that microwave can heat quickly and its influence on water, food and body?

As for the microwave oven, there is an example in the book: In the 1930s, at the beginning of World War II, the Germans invented a radar system based on microwave. In the extremely cold winter, the soldiers gathered around the radar screen to keep warm, but unconsciously got hematologic cancer, and then the Germans gave up using radar.

After learning about this technology, German scientists thought of heating food with microwaves, and thus invented the microwave oven. Originally, I wanted to provide hot meals for soldiers who fought against the former Soviet Union. Just like radar technicians, soldiers who ate microwave-heated food also got hematologic cancer.

In the past 80 years, science and technology have developed rapidly. Today's microwave technology is certainly more advanced than that of that year, but has the safety changed fundamentally? At present, it seems that the principle of microwave heating food has not changed essentially. The microwave oven emits high-frequency microwave, which makes the water molecules rotate back and forth at the speed of 65.438+0 billion times per second, and makes the water in food and surrounding substances boil. Great friction destroys food molecules, rearranges their chemical composition and becomes strange new structures.

Studies in the former Soviet Union found that 90% of the nutrients in microwave food were lost, which contained carcinogenic factors. Very short cooking time can make all kinds of vitamins and trace elements in food disappear completely. Long-term consumption of food with nutrition equal to a piece of cardboard will inevitably lead to malnutrition, and low immunity will give cancer an opportunity. Coupled with the toxins accumulated in the body by microwave food, it is not surprising that cancer occurs.

Like microwave ovens, sunscreen products have become very popular daily necessities in recent decades. As the saying goes: One white covers all the ugliness, which shows that China's traditional aesthetics attaches importance to fair complexion. Now is an era in which white is beautiful. If you want to be white, you should naturally protect yourself from sunburn.

There are many kinds of whitening sunscreen products in shopping malls, which are not only the first choice for women, but also more and more men will use sunscreen products outdoors. Especially in summer and sunny days, women who love beauty often go out armed, and sunscreen, umbrellas and sunglasses are essential.

According to the report of "Healthy Author's Website", 97% of Americans are polluted by sunscreen compounds, and most sunscreen products contain at least dozens of carcinogenic spices or compounds, as well as countless synthetic substances extracted from petroleum. These carcinogenic compounds and petroleum by-products are absorbed by the human body through the skin, and then penetrate into cells, producing strong free radicals and becoming the fuse of skin cancer.

Speaking of which, you may have another worry. If you don't wear sunscreen, exposure to ultraviolet rays will not only lead to sunburn, but also lead to skin cancer, right?

On this issue, the author gives an example to illustrate. People in the Nordic countries Norway and Finland experience darkness for several months every year, but their incidence of skin cancer is higher than that in other regions. What is the reason? Ultraviolet rays can activate a skin hormone and affect our immune system and the body's regulatory center, so lack of sunlight will be the cause of almost all diseases, including skin cancer and other forms of cancer.

"Ultraviolet rays are necessary for normal cell division." When we cover them tightly with sunscreen, umbrella and sunglasses to avoid tanning, cells lacking sunlight may interrupt their normal growth. In addition, due to the accumulation of various compounds in sunscreen products, cells will gradually drift away on the road of cancer.

Third, the destructive power of emotions.

Regarding the correlation between cancer and emotion, the book illustrates it in detail through a case. Mary, 39, is a patient treated by the author. She was diagnosed with advanced breast cancer at the age of 38. After a year of routine radiotherapy, chemotherapy and mastectomy, Mary was found to have bone cancer in the lower spine and left knee.

The case showed that Mary had been suffering from anemia, indigestion and constipation for many years, and thousands of stones were found in her liver. Although she has been regularly supplementing iron and treating various infections with various antibiotics, it has no effect.

Mary's childhood was very unhappy, and her parents always quarreled about trivial things in life. Eating at the same table with her parents is a painful thing for her. She is always worried that her parents will suddenly break out of new contradictions. The constant tension and depression made her have a strong dislike and fear of food. Over the years, she has been used to wolfing down her food.

Mary also faces great difficulties in her work. She never wanted to be a teacher. In order to maintain family harmony, she obeyed her parents' demands on the surface, but her heart was full of anger. She thinks that students can put all the setbacks on her, but she can only put all the feelings in her heart; When she came home and was angry with the child, she felt guilty again and again.

"Everything that happens to us emotionally will also happen to us." The tension and pressure Mary felt when eating at home seriously interfered with her digestive system. Eating when you are depressed will reduce the secretion of digestive juice. When eating in anger and depression, bile becomes easier to coagulate, and continuous emotional tension will lead to stones in the biliary tract and kidneys of the liver.

The body can not effectively digest and absorb the food eaten in a hurry, and a large amount of toxic waste accumulates in the small intestine and large intestine, causing chronic constipation. Poor nutrition absorption will also lead to increased consumption of fat, calcium and vitamins in the body and weaken her functions such as bone tissue.

As mentioned earlier, when cells lack oxygen and nutrition, normal cells will mutate into cancer cells to adapt to the harsh internal environment and survive. Mary suffered from indigestion and constipation for most of her life, which also made her body seriously lack of antidote for cancer cells.

Therefore, even if Mary killed the cancer cells through chemotherapy, it was a one-time removal of the cancerous tissue, and the root cause of the cancer was not solved, and the cancer cells would grow back in another place.

Under the guidance of the author, Mary began to make some changes, such as adjusting her eating habits, getting in touch with nature, sunbathing, listening to her favorite music and meditating quietly every day.

The most important thing for Mary is that she doesn't need to do anything that makes her unhappy and allows herself to make mistakes. After accepting the author's advice for six months, Mary's physical condition improved steadily.

Similar cases are not uncommon. A couple in the United States can only live one year after being diagnosed with cancer. After careful consideration, the two decided to give up treatment and spend the rest of their time to complete their dream of traveling around the world. They quit their jobs, sold their houses, started a beautiful journey, happily immersed in various beautiful scenery and delicious food every day, and gradually forgot about cancer.

A year and a half later, the couple returned to the United States, only to find that they had exceeded the one-year life limit. The two went to the hospital for a new examination, and the cancer cells in the body miraculously disappeared.

Unresolved emotional conflicts are often the beginning of all diseases, including cancer.

One of the most easily overlooked emotional conflicts is undoubtedly "selflessness". Many cancer patients spend all their lives and time on others, so as to gain a sense of value of being affirmed and existing.

But in our subconscious, this behavior of putting external evaluation first and even pleasing others shows that we don't love ourselves, on the other hand, it also exposes hidden insecurity. Invisibly, the strength and perfection of appearance, the weakness and inferiority of heart constantly collide.

Cancer begins with our divided hearts and all the sadness and depression that we fail to show in our life. A study in Japan shows that patients with cancer and tumor symptoms disappear naturally undergo profound changes in attitude before they suddenly recover, usually within 24 hours.

Instructions for self-repair

In the last part of this book, according to the causes and roots of cancer, the author summarizes the corresponding self-healing measures, including reducing toxic components, sunshine therapy, adequate sleep, regular diet, persistent exercise, vegetarian diet, magical herbs and mineral supplements, and improving negative emotions. The following are mainly from food, sleep, exercise and negative emotions, which are closely related to our daily life.

Sufficient evidence shows that a large number of vegetables and fruits have the function of treating and preventing cancer. In particular, Brassica vegetables, such as Chinese cabbage, have a powerful purification function for tissue system and blood. Regular consumption will greatly reduce the content of all poisons and inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells.

On the other hand, foods and drinks rich in sugar, such as chocolate, ice cream and various unnatural juice drinks, should be avoided as much as possible. Refined sugar does not contain any nutrients necessary for absorption when digested. Regular intake of sugar will nourish cancer cells, but will starve healthy cells.

Staying up late has become the norm for many people, and its harm has not attracted enough attention. Studies have shown that it takes 8-9 hours for the human body to sleep completely in the dark before the immune system can be fully charged. Long-term lack of sleep will reduce the body's resistance. The weak immune system can't clean the inside of the body regularly, and the resulting blockage will threaten the life of cells.

If you go to bed before ten o'clock at night, growth hormone will peak at eleven o'clock. During this period, the body will purify itself and carry out major repair and regeneration work. Therefore, it is one of the best ways to prevent and treat cancer to ensure adequate sleep at the right time at night and let the body secrete enough growth hormone.

The indispensability of exercise to health is enough to explain what we often say: "Life lies in exercise". As far as curing cancer is concerned, because cancer cells are typical hypoxic cells, exercise is a means to directly deliver extra oxygen to cells all over the body and improve immune response.

In a study in the Journal of the American Medical Association, those who have been diagnosed with colon cancer, if they follow a moderate exercise plan, those who exercise for more than 6 hours a week are less likely to die of cancer than those who exercise less than 1 hour a week. In all cases, regardless of the patient's age, cancer stage or weight, exercise is a good protective factor.

Today, with cancer becoming more and more common, we will witness this situation more or less around us. A relative, colleague or neighbor accidentally diagnosed cancer, and a person who always seemed to be fine suddenly collapsed and left us soon. After sighing, people will also have a sentence: I was scared to death by cancer.

"The most fundamental cause of cancer is fear"-fear of not being good enough, fear of losing, fear of being hurt, fear of hurting others and fear of long-term death.

When you are afraid, you either sink in, or force yourself to fight, or pretend that nothing happened. Either way, this strong feeling of ignoring your body will consume the vitality of every cell. Cells will enter the protection or resistance mode, thus breaking away from normal growth and reproduction.

Those who have experienced major trauma in their lives, such as the death of their loved ones, career failure, and marital breakdown, will become high-risk groups of cancer if they do not adjust their mentality in time. All tumors are manifestations of fear on cells.

Whether materially or emotionally, you are the creator of your own living environment and the living environment of cells in your body. It's like choosing to water the roots of a withered plant or feel sad for its fallen leaves. It's up to us.

The above is the essence of the book "Cancer is not a disease". I don't know how you will feel after reading it. Tell me about my harvest.

First of all, I have a brand-new understanding of terrible cancer: due to the accumulation of endotoxin and waste in the body, normal physiological functions are hindered, and cells that lack oxygen and nutrition have to mutate to adapt to the harsh living environment.

Cancer is not so much a disease as a distress signal sent by our bodies and the result of our long-term self-love. The appearance of cancer is a warning and we must change it.

So how should we change it? According to the causes of cancer formation emphasized in the book, we can find really effective solutions.

Pay attention to a reasonable diet structure, try to eat natural food and try to eat less red meat, especially processed meat; Try not to eat foods containing trans fats and keep your body unobstructed.

No matter how busy your work and life are, it is important to take some time to exercise every day and choose a sport you like, no matter how much exercise you have. At the same time, we should pay attention to the air environment during exercise. After all, our cells need oxygen, not smog and exhaust.

Like all life in nature, we can't live without sunshine. Often bathing in the sun not only makes our bodies stronger, but also fills our hearts with strength and hope. A sunny heart is the only magic weapon to prevent and treat cancer.

Cancer, like a frog boiled in warm water, is a long-term accumulation of many factors. These factors that eventually lead to cancer exist in our daily life. We should pay more attention to our health and stick to a healthy lifestyle. As long as we are willing to do this and take the initiative to stay away from cancer, we are in our own hands.
