Cancer – a Disease of Civilization
Cancer is a result of the diet of modern civilization says this web page. “The only Eskimos to ever develop cancer were those who came to live in white man's settlements and who adopted white man's dietary and other living habits. Similar observations have been made by doctors in other primitive natural areas of the world.”
This argument is backed up by pages outlining various roles including:
the role of diet
the role of carcinogens
the role of smoking
the role of exercise
the role of sunlight and radiation
the role of the immune system
“Leukemia is the uncontrolled proliferation of white blood cells in the body and bloodstream. It occurs mainly in young people.
It is known that the incidence of leukemia is very low among primitive natives and vegetarians, and that the disease responds rapidly when a raw, low fat, vegetarian diet is adopted”
It is also significant that tests in the 1940s and 1950s showed that leukemia patients displayed low levels of Vitamin C. These tests were described by Dr A. Vogt, "Vitamin C Treatment of Chronic Leukemia" (Deutsche Medizinische Wochenschrift, Vol 66, 1940), Dr E. D. Kybos, "Large Doses of Ascorbic Acid in Treatment of Vitamin C Deficiencies" (Archives of Internal Medicine, Vol 75, 1945) and Dr A. L. Waldo and Dr R. E. Ziff in "Ascorbic Acid in Leukemia Patients" (Cancer, Vol 8, 1955).
I have included the references should anyone wish to look at the originals.
There are pages dealing with forms of cancer other than leukemia. There is also an interesting page on remission and this quote - “Scott then quotes Dr Georgina Luden (USA) who said: "The importance of this fact can hardly be over-estimated. It is a proof positive that the human body can wage a winning fight against malignancy under the most untoward conditions . . .”
That’s what all the advocates of alternative cancer treatments are saying, time and again, but some people refuse to listen.
