What is cancer?

Most people see cancer as a collection of cells that have gone crazy and are destroying the body. This is true, but it leads to the idea that this is a battle and you need to kill those cells.

My view of cancer comes from the idea that these cancer cells are not part of the perfect version of you and that they should naturally die and be reabsorbed as part of coming back to perfect health.

Some might consider my position naive, but recent science points in my direction. As cells are created and die, mistakes naturally happen. There are mechanisms in the cell that detect this and tell the cell to die. Cancer is more a failure of the cells to detect that they are abnormal than some specific cause like smoking. Smoking causes more cell mistakes, so the chances that one will not detect that it is abnormal increases. Defects in the detection mechanisms can allow cancer to form in people who have minimal risk while others with very good mechanisms can have a life time of risky actions and not get cancer.

Elephants have been shown to have far fewer cases of cancer despite having 50 times as many cells to have mistakes. Scientists recently discovered that the elephants have 20 copies of one gene for detecting DNA mistakes while humans only have 1. Further examination will probably show similar things for all large animals like whales, large fish and mammals.

Rather than cutting out parts of the body or killing millions of cells hoping to get all the cancerous ones, the more natural thing would be to get the cancer cells to detect that they are abnormal and die.

The problem for science is that it knows of no way to activate these detection mechanisms. I can't say that this is exactly what happens when I work with a client with cancer, but having cells know they don't belong completely matches my guidance and experience. The greater the degree to which someone focuses on the perfect version of themselves, the more quickly the cancer shrinks and disappears.
