Re: A Simplified Explanation of Holistic Health--

Gubi also hit the nail on the head by revealing that not all of the excuses we

use for developing cancer are valid all the time.

I still subscribe to the very old theory, but obviously again, not all the time,

that Cancer is an 'End Stage' pathology resulting from any number of factors.

For example, while looking for the 'usual' suspects such as smoking, Electro

Magnetic Fields and other common suspects, it is the rare practitioner that

points a finger at routine, everyday, metabolic waste that isn't properly

eliminated because of a host of enervating reasons.

We constantly produce toxic waste that, I have read, if injected into a horse

would kill it almost instantly yet this 'normal' dying of cells that bring about

this virulent toxic waste is readily eliminated by this wonderful system we live

in--the body. Regardless of whether or not it would kill a horse, if not

eliminated, will do us harm. When checked (not eliminated readily) it must

build up and when built up to unacceptable levels, apparently the body attempts

to get rid if it using heroic means. We throw up, get diarrhea, sweat

profusely, develop mucous which we call colds, develop coughs etc.

An old-time Naturopath, Herbert M. Shelton, one much different from today's,

said this process when continued and it does throughout life, causes irritation,

followed by inflammation, then induration (Hardening of tissue) and eventually

cancer. Of course these other things Gubbi touched on that were investigated

for causing that person's SCLC are no different from what the metabolic waste

is and actually are a part of why we do not eliminate the toxins that are

routinely handled by this wonderful organism--our bodies. Shelton would say

that smoking, emotional problems, not enough sleep, improper eating........all

are enervating thereby interfering with elimination and the build-up of

toxins......both metabolic and added to by our own devices. Sound too simple?

It is.

Therefore when someone complains that, " I lived as a vegetarian or never

smoked " , it just wasn't enough.
