WHY THERE IS NO MIRACLE CURE FOR CANCER – LIMITATIONS TO DIFFERENT METHODS OF TREATING CANCER (PART 3)
Some methods of cancer treatment such as meditation and prayer utilise processes about which very little is known. An exceptional person may be able to rid their garden of weeds by meditating or praying over it. Equally rarely, someone may succeed in ridding their body of cancer by these methods. I don’t doubt that the mind has fantastic abilities which unfortunately remain completely unexplored and untapped by most of us in today’s ‘civilised’ and scientific society. Very few have a natural ability to tap into these powers. It seems unlikely that the rest of us could be taught to do so over a short period of time.
What about starving the weeds by depriving them of some of the nutrients they need? Some dietary methods try to ’starve’ the cancer cells, for example the ‘grape diet’. Again the problem is that the normal cells need the same nutrients as the cancer cells. They are not so different that we can starve the cancer cells without starving the normal cells as well.
Diet-based cancer treatments are also said to work by cleansing and purifying the body. Contaminated soil certainly can be the reason for getting a lot of weeds in the first place. However, purifying the soil in some way after the weeds are established seems unlikely to get rid of them. Once established, they are likely to flourish in any soil that suits their close relatives, the normal plants, ‘Cleansing’ the body may prevent cancer but seems unlikely to cure established cancer.
In summary, the basic fact that prevents treatments from curing all cancers is that the cancer cells are too similar to our normal body cells. This fact also means that no effective cancer treatment is completely free of side effects—unwanted effects in the form of damage to normal cells and parts of the body.
