Up to 90% of Cancers Are Not Caused by Bad Luck!

OFF TOPIC

Good to see some of the BS is dissipating!

Study suggests cancer is not 'just bad luck' - BBC News

Environment may play a large role in cancer - CNN.com

So, we can reduce our chances of getting Cancer by up to 90%!

Although at least in Au, our media tend to say that sun exposure still increases your chances, (eventhough in actual fact it does the opposite).

But apparently sun exposure damage is cumulative,.....yeah, right?

People that put tiles on roofs for a living and do it, for 30 years, apparently carry a magic wand, since there is no measurable increase over them, and the general population???????

30% of Australians aren't buying this crap, thankfully, so drug company's need to come up with some better lies, l think!

B-grade, propaganda ad,s, ain't working!

Boy is that old news. I've never heard anyone say that cancer was caused by bad luck. Not once. For as long as I can remember, it's chemicals, cigarettes, environmental pollutants, shit in our food that doesn't belong there. Crap in the water that doesn't belong there.

The genetics aspect certainly worries me, since my father and one sister died of cancer, and another sister is a cancer survivor - plus a grandmother, aunt, and uncle - although all were different types of cancer.

I think the "luck" part comes into play (at least to some degree) in the sense that despite all we (science) know about cancer, there's still the question as to why some people never get cancer, in spite of multiple risk factors, and others do... And we're all exposed to myriad unavoidable environmental toxins to some degree, despite doing as much as possible to avoid them. Sometimes it does feel like a bit of a crap shoot.

Thanks

Fear, can and does play a big part, especially if you believe doctors?

Our genetics, or DNA has been proven to be modified by our thoughtforms, within our lifetimes.

So a family member gets Cancer, doctors say it is genetic, (after all their primary cure is genetic based) the family member dies, since the doctors regime is ineffective, and the family has to take out a second mortgage!

Then most of the males of females, are scared to death about getting it!

Eventhough genetically they shouldn't have to worry about it at all, their children's, children, or at worst, their future offspring have to worry about it!

But there is no money in that so,......

But l do agree that some people who slip, slop and slap their brains out, still get skin Cancer.

Which shouldn't happen, so obviously skin Cancer and the sun are not related, (unless as others have said, get burned all the time, and it might be)?

But Phar, company's are up there with Monsato, and the doctors have to play ball, or lose their jobs!

Just to be clear; no doctor blamed any of my family members' or relatives' cancer on "genetics", to the best of my knowledge. I highly doubt any ethical oncologist would tell someone his or her cancer was simply "due to genetics" as that's just one of many possible contributing factors, and they know that. But it's a well-established fact that the risk for some cancers, such as breast cancer, definitely increases if a first-degree relative has had that particular cancer.

My point was if there is a genetic propensity towards cancer, then I do wonder if it runs in my family. But I don't believe (and wasn't suggesting) that genetics was the cause; rather, just something that may have increased their risk and thus increases my risk as well.

I am very mindful of the heightened possibility because of my family history, but I don't dwell on it. I just try to do things that help reduce my risk as much as possible.

Researchers at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine have found that the majority of cancers occur as the result of plain bad luck, and not because of an unhealthy lifestyle or for genetic reasons. Of 31 cancers studied by the scientists, 22 are caused by random mistakes in cell division beyond human control. The other nine cancers, which include lung and skin, however, are likely caused by either genetics or lifestyle factors, and have a higher risk associated with them.

Well, l did say "roll of the dice" not spin of a coin!

And l did read the bulk of what l posted, (to be sure)!

The old research quote above, used by the media, seemed to voice that it is random, and it doesn't matter what we do, if we get it then that is it!

I know that l might be proving that Medicine can put out wrong or harmful information, but from what l posted before that should come as no surprise, (10 years saying that radium is safe, by so called experts).

The obvious question should be "is this intentional, or a big mistake"?

Doesn't matter what the subject is, if it has holes, and doesn't make sense, then it shouldn't be taken at face value!

I know that the herd don't like to be spooked, but truth is truth!

I'm not in the least bit spooked. We all die of something or other and I live a healthy lifestyle in a place with clean air and water and avoid pesticides and other chemicals. I'm already on my way to being old as dirt, so can't complain. You are the one who is spooked or just using this as yet another opportunity to rail against doctors and pharma.

You'll find that Shane is right.

92% of cancers are not caused by bad luck. Bad luck, as a separate force, is weaker in this universe. In the Casino Universe, Good Luck bleeds into our reality. we call it Karma, after the Elephant God, Carmilla.

48% of cancers are caused by past lives trauma, usually involving a divining rod, or an Ouija Board. The radiation from these past lives moves in retro-time, riding on Neutrinos. And we feel it in our time line as sickness. Unfortunately, for Neutrino carried, past lives trauma induced cancers, there is only one cure......and it involves NASA....

And there is NO WAY I'm relying on NASA for my cures. Plus a little Ginger, but I don't know how much.

The other 7% of cancers are caused by the psychic trauma of laterally experienced simultaneous Deja Vu. If you experience Deja Vu, at the same time you see the actual event...it activates the pituitary gland, causing the psychic backwash, to lodge in the hypocampus. And that's where brain cancer comes from. Google it. It's what killed Nokola Tessler, the Father of electrically induced intuitive good luck powers.

And experiencing Deja Vu at the same time, as the event, is indistinguishable from real time events happening in real time. I just wish NASA would tell us that they already know these things. Jerks. Social Paths!

You're welcome, Shane...You're welcome.

PS, Did you guys feel that? Just now? It's the universe...it just started expanding again. I'll keep you posted.

From that, I could do simple searches using keywords. So, typing in Claude Whitacre for example I was able to find, on the same page, Claude Whitacre...Dounuts...He shall consume them, and other equally profound statements.

Well, according to doctors, when one family member gets a specific cancer, then they can all get it, since the genetic issue occurred sometime in the persons past family history!

This is assuming that that family don't push their luck with smoking, etc and are all relatively healthy!

Although if one family member gets something, that isn't present in their family tree, then doctors are quick to put it down to genetics.

Oh, crap, ok, l will partially agree with you there!

Getting cancer could be compared to getting into a car accident. Our results would be equivalent to showing a high correlation between length of trip and getting into an accident. Regardless of the destination, the longer the trip is, the higher the risk of an accident.

The road conditions on the way to the destination could be likened to the environmental factors in cancer. Worse conditions would be associated with a higher the risk of an accident.

The mechanical condition of the car is a metaphor for the inherited genetic factors. The numbers of mechanical problems in the car--bad brakes, worn tires, etc.--increase the risk of an accident. Think of these mechanical problems as inherited genetic mutations. With each mechanical defect, the risk of an accident increases. Similarly, the amount of inherited genetic mutations is among the factors that contribute to cancer risk

Of course sun exposure is 'healthy.' It's repeated bouts of over-exposure that can cause skin cancer. This is not a debatable issue. It's scientific fact.

Everything in moderation - except beer!

So you say. You must stop reading scientific reports from the Grace L. Ferguson Airline and Storm Door Company. (Pardon the arcane reference which I doubt anyone will know without the help of Google).

You being the only person I know who has "heard" cancer referred to as good or bad luck, has no bearing on the millions who were never under the illusion that cancer is a matter of luck.

Assuming by "dice" you mean two, you actually have a 1/6 chance of rolling a 5 and a two. You many know "odd" but you sure don't know "odds".

I was saying something nonsensical, to go with the premise of this thread.

The fact that you didn't see that, means that you don't know schlong.

OK, OK, everyone...back away, nothing to see here. This is just birthing pains of the new "American language". It doesn't mean anything.

Claude, you should understand that my post was also "nonsensical" because the odds of rolling a 5 and a 2 aren't 1/6 as I posted "nonsensically". I made that up to see if anyone actually knew the real odds. You obviously don't. LOL

I'll explain it to you. There are 2 die, each with 6 sides, for a total of 36 possibilities.
6 x 6 = 36

Of the 36 possibilities, only two will give us a 5 and a 2:
5 and 2
2 and 5

Therefore, 2/36 = 1/18. There is a 1 in 18 chance of rolling a 5 and a 2, not 1 out of 6 as I posted in my first thread.

For some reason the phrase "hook, line and sinker" comes to mind...

Thanks

Sorry Suzanne. That really blows - especially this time of year.

Reminds me of when I got the news years back that my dad had multiple myeloma. I went on a google frenzy for about 4 hours, and then just sat and stared at the wall when I was done learning about it knowing there was nothing I could do but sit and wait to see how things were going to play out.

Wishing you strength and support for your family.

Thank you all again for the kind thoughts. It's been a tough day to get through. My brother's onocological visit was long today and all of the pain he has been experiencing is due to cancer in his tailbone. There is a mass on his kidney as well, but there is infection there also, so they are clearing the infection with antibiotics and treating the pain.

He will undergo radiation after Christmas for the cancer in his tailbone and further treatment plan is being coordinated as the test results come through and the experts coordinate and consult with each other.

And no one has asked him for a penny. My brother has no means of support and they know that. We are fortunate to live near Charlottesville, home of the UVA Hospital system, by far one of the top hospitals in the country. It attracts some of the brightest and best doctors. Many of them are foreign born and have not developed the capitalistic approach to medicine. One nurse was crying when a test result came through and knew he would have to be told.

As well as a comprehensive treatment plan, they have given him papers to fill out for financial aid to get through this.

One doctor asked him why he waited so long to come in. He told him that it was humiliating to ask for medical care that isn't covered by insurance with no means to pay anyone for their hard work and time. The doctors told him that they didn't want him to focus on the financial aspects of treatment.

This is "lifestyle" related illness. He's been a ticking time bomb most of his life due to indiscretions in his teens. He has Hep C due to dirty needles when he was 17. He kicked heroin but has never gone a day without smoking a lot of pot as well as cigarettes. If someone handed some recreational drugs, he would take them without even questioning what they were, but that opportunity didn't arise often during his adult years.

So, that's the day's recap. It looks a bit more hopeful than it did earlier. Not what I wanted for Christmas. I'd rather have an iPod, but my goal is to get through tomorrow and Christmas at my daughter's house with grandchildren then return to caring for my brother and my father ... who is also a real piece of work. I feel somewhat depressed and may have to address that at some point.
