Is it time for a new general in the "War" on cancer?
In his State of the Union address in 1971, Richard Nixon made a special request for an extra $100 million to find a cure for cancer. Here we are over 50 years later and cancer has become if anything more of a problem than ever. 50 years, billions of dollars, cancer rates extending to more younger people, breast cancer at epidemic levels, what went wrong?
Cancer is a cellular disease. Waiting for tumors to emerge, and then attempting to kill them, is not the best approach. What can be done instead? A different approach is needed. Archaeological evidence supports the likelihood that cancer was a rare disease before the industrial age. In many ways it seems we brought this disease upon ourselves. It's time to reframe the challenge. This podcast gives examples of an alternative approach that offers the opportunity for better, healthier living with less cancer.
