What is cancer?
For many, the word “cancer" itself raises stress levels, revealing the whole problem in one.
Cancer is misunderstood, and it is primarily misunderstood because it is feared.
We are correct in calling it a disease, but mistreat the disease.
By writing this, I by no means claim to know the whole of cancer biology, I only write as a matter of urgency, with the knowledge I have, maybe some people can be helped.
I’ve been around cancer, I’ve smelt it in the air, I have seen what it does to the human body, to those with the disease, and those around them. I have studied it, read papers on it, and more importantly, made connections that I am confident that can stand up to a panel of both scientific and logical scrutiny.
Other than that, I have been gifted with openness, and with this openness comes three things,
One, the personal knowledge that even our scientific knowledge of cancer may never be complete.
Two, the understanding that there may be other lesser “conventional” ways of treating diseases.
Three, this is the information that I have been blessed with at this moment in time.
And four, because it just came to me like a winter robin, there will be celebrations acknowledging what is to come.
Whether I am here or not to see this come to mainstream-fruition is another thing.

Let’s say I had a machine that could erase your memories, just like the one in Men In Black, the movie, that shiny silver stick, remember? One flash, and you’ll look at me blankly, glazed, like a baby just breastfed.
Let’s say I have a machine like this and could program it, with a flash, to remove everyone in the world’s memory of cancer as even a thing, I’d push that button in a heartbeat. Double time.
If one forgets all the conditioning of that word, then what?
