Epigenetic Factors, The Cure for Cancer - Pdazzler

Pdazzler

For more than twenty years I have puzzled over the cure for cancer. My case (stage IV follicular non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma) is considered incurable by the medical profession. Survival for more than 5 - 7 years following diagnosis is unusual.

After the five year survival mark some thought I was the exception and would be the first patient to beat fNHL. Then, 15 years following initial diagnosis, swollen lymph nodes and cancerous nodules returned. Damn, I had not ducked the bullet or been that one miracle.

Over the preceding fifteen years my successful strategy had involved taking full responsibility for my own personal medical care. Hours were spent online becoming a superior cancer researcher. fNHL and cancer in general became part of every living day.

Using exercise, a number supplements, healthy diet, a single “off prescription” drug and my abilities for research the relapse was soon under control and regressing. Once again my status became what the doctors like to call “watch and wait”.

Even a further relapse in year 18 of survival (to a particularly life threatening form of Ocular fNHL) was again overcome using self awareness, self reliance, self medication, diet and alternative medicine. Today I enjoy clinical remission with no symptoms or signs of cancer.

Was that third time the charm? It is too soon to know but I am finally contemplating that “cure for cancer”. I have become confident in my ability to control cancer as a chronic disease and my sense is the final step of finding an actual cure for cancer is at hand.

You might ask, “What do you think the cure for cancer is?” My belief, cancer’s cure is profoundly simple. So simple that medical science has failed to recognize cancer’s cure because of that utter simplicity.

The cure for cancer is simply “removing the epigenetic factors that caused cancer in the first place”.

As defined in Wikipedia: In biology, epigenetics is the study of changes in phenotype (appearance) or gene expression caused by mechanisms other than changes in the underlying DNA sequence, hence the name epi- (Greek: ep?- over, above) -genetics. These changes may remain through cell divisions for the remainder of the cell’s life and may also last for multiple generations. However, there is no change in the underlying DNA sequence of the organism; instead, non-genetic factors cause the organism’s genes to behave (or “express themselves”) differently.

Let me take this complicated definition and give you some easily understandable personal examples of how epigenetics in your body works.

Example 1: Mercury exposure

Science has known for years that mercury causes numerous cancers and specifically can cause fNHL. Convinced mercury could be one of my fNHL’s “epigenetic” factors I underwent testing.

Mercury was present and found to be a problem. To remove its constant source I had my silver amalgam fillings replaced. This procedure was followed by months of mercury detoxification. Tests following showed my accumulated mercury, one of cancer’s “epigenetic” factors, was successfully removed.

Example 2: Over-vaccination

I am convinced soaring cancer rates are partially due to over use of vaccines and far too frequent vaccinations.

Vaccine Safety

I have owned three small breed dogs over my adult lifetime. The first dog lived to 18+ years of age. Our second dog lived only to age 12. This second dog suffered lymphoma at age seven and a second, nastier blood cancer at age 12 leading to her death.

So, why did the first dog make it to very old age (for a dog) and the second suffer lymphomas at a relatively young age?

My belief, the second dog was over vaccinated. Our first dog had puppy shots and a single rabies booster at age seven. The second dog received vaccinations once or twice yearly for her entire life. In hindsight, she was vaccinated to death.

Our current dog is back on the original limited vaccination schedule we followed with our first dog.

Look at how often we can be vaccinated. Flu shots every year, tetanus boosters every few years, etc, etc. (Young babies to adulthood now receive an average of 76 vaccinations.)

My own fNHL may be directly attributable to polio vaccination in the 1960’s with a vaccine tainted by SV-40 (monkey virus) shown in the laboratory to cause cancer.

My personal action has been to remove this “epigenetic” cancer causing factor by avoiding over vaccination. Having not received a vaccination in fifteen years I keep my immune system operating at peak efficiency using selected supplements, diet and exercise.

Example 3: Exposure to medical radiation.

The past 30 years the use of medical imaging has exploded. This is particularly true for cancer patients. Your oncologist wants to CAT scan or PET scan you yearly or more often. Medical CAT scans hit you with between 50 and 100 times the radiation of a simple chest x-ray.

Medical Radiation

Look at the number of mammograms women endure in a lifetime. Each time you visit the dentist he take several x-rays of your teeth.

The American citizen now receives an average dose of 360 millirems or radiation per year. One CAT scan is 500 – 3,900 millirems of x-ray exposure. One mammogram is equal to 1,500 millirems. One whole mouth dental x-ray equals 25 – 36 millirems. One chest x-ray equals 10 – 30 millirems.

As the patient you need to analyze, is this medical x-ray necessary? Will the potential benefits outweigh the potential damage to my immune system by having the procedure done?

Another of my strategies is the removal of medical radiation as an “epigenetic” factor in my environment. I am avoiding cancer by limiting the medical radiation exposure received having not had a medical x-ray in the last 18 years.

Example 4: Your Environment

The “epigenetic” factors of your environment were the cause of your cancer. Those factors impacting epigenetically upon your genes are complex and numerous.

You're Responsible

They include all the foods you eat, the air you breath, the fluids you ingest, the products you place on your skin, the stress you undergo, the drops you put in your eyes, the medicines you ingest, the list becomes all inclusive. Virtually everything has to be considered.

But, back to my original statement: The cure for cancer is “removing the epigenetic factors that caused cancer in the first place.” Some of these factors are removed through diet, some are removed through control of your body’s environment and some are removed through detoxification protocols.

Epigeneticists have already proven that our genes can be readily changed by their environment. This is similar to how cancer cells can be changed by their environment. To those facing a cancer challenge this is tremendous for now you have the ability yourself to repair damaged genes and return cancer cells to their normal state.

This short Dean Ornish video shares new research that shows how adopting healthy lifestyle habits can affect a person at a “epigenetic” level. For instance, he says, when you live healthier, eat better, exercise, and love more, your brain cells actually increase.

Some epigenetic factors will be difficult to remove but many will be easy. The bottom line is, you have the power to prevent and/or cure cancer if you take responsibility. You can control all the epigenetic factors that impact on your body’s genes and remove those that can cause cancer.
