An End to Cancer: Possible In Our Lifetime...

In Twenty Year’s Time,
We Could Eliminate 80% of All Cancer
Threats…

People blame cancer on this, that and everything else, but they refuse to look at the real causes of cancer as if they didn’t know and therefore they do nothing about it until they cannot put the genii back in the bottle.

Why?

Because it is too inconvenient for business and industry, and its bed-mate, government and all those who profit out of the conditions that lead to cancer.

When presented with such arguments, the officials who can make a difference argue that the proof is not complete.

That may be so but when you know that the majority of the problem can be eliminated by eliminating the conditions that lead to cancer, then you are begging the question and abdicating responsibility.

And that’s where we are…

Understanding the problem is easy. Doing something about it hard.

The true answer to the cause of all cancers was revealed in an incident many years ago in upstate New York. It was called Love Canal. And everyone who lived around Love Canal got ill. Well, they looked high, and they looked low but they could not find a cause.

It was a conundrum. Why? Because they didn’t want to see the truth.

Hooker Chemical and just about everyone else avoided looking at the answer until there was no place else to look. The company dumped effluents into the waterway and that was the cause no matter how much the company jumped up and down.
And finally, they had to admit to some responsibility in the matter.

Let me cite another example. It involves the case of a Canadian company that offered a fuel additive that would eliminate by-products in the air. It seemed like a good idea at the time. The only problem: The customer, the State of California, discovered that while it made the gasoline burn cleaner, it contained toxic ingredients which had the potential of leeching into the water table and contaminating not only the water supply of northern California but the entire South West.

California made the company cease and desist. The Canadian company, under NAFTA, Canada sued California for 100 million plus dollars and the deal was settled by private businessmen in a closed office. California was proven guilty and had to pay and the people didn’t have a word of recourse. Ugly? Impossible? I agree but that’s how it is when you cede all powers to others to decide your fate.

Okay, let me now extrapolate: It is this author’s contention that 80% of the cancers in this country are likewise caused by business and industrial processes. We use poisons to leech precious metals out of the ground. We pump dangerous effluents into the atmosphere. These toxins contaminate the Eco-system in ways we’d hardly like to admit.

Unfortunately, we have ceded to much authority to this self-serving government that doesn’t mind multiplying its powers legally or illegally and any way it can. Today, for example, under the Clean Air Act, the government has decided that it’s okay to start mining and burning coal again—even though the last time they did it, 20,000 Americans died annually.

Not bad enough? Okay, try this on: The Government under OSHA agreed that it’s okay to put off “clean air” for another ten years to benefit industry. No mention of the people.

The sad truth of it is that all of the toxins that go into the air and water are only going to cause us cancers and force us to increase our medical expenditures and are ultimately going to cost the government more than it can afford to keep people alive.

Can I prove it. No. But I can point to historical experience that if you screw up the air and the water, there will be illness. That there’s little argument about.

The crime is that most of these people needn’t have gotten sick in the first place if the government did a little preventative maintenance. Unfortunately right now, the government has found away to absolve itself by saying one, we don’t have sufficient proof that destroying the earth has a deleterious effect on man; and by dumping the burden elsewhere. Right now, our government has transferred the burden to the hospitals of the country to resolve the problem when the entire problem is misplaced and should be transferred back to government.

There is, you must understand, considerable pressure to maintain the status quo. What if everyone was healthy, what would happen to all of the hospitals, the doctors, the inventors of new machines to filter your blood and on and on. And what business or industrial giant or precious resource miner wants to have to pay extra or find new ways to extract when the poisons they use now are so efficient—regardless of how many get ill…


That’s why it hasn’t been done already.

And how many are really fighting for positive change.

The government’s case: There is insufficient proof. Well, they are probably right in that.

I don’t know what constitutes sufficient proof, but if you could eliminate 80% of all cancers by cleaning up our act then it seems foolish beyond reason not to do so or at least attempt to do so when you know so much is at stake. One has to assume that any reasonable man would understand the nature of the problem. And since the legal test for most things is ‘reasonableness’ than the government it would seem should be held to the same standard.

But it won’t happen until you get out your pens and papers and start badgering your representatives for answers.

If you know anybody who has a cancer, then you owe it to them and to the country to demand that our representatives make the necessary moves to bring our air quality and water quality back to where it was and to eliminate all of those processes that involve using dangerous chemicals on our lands for the short term benefit of some manufacturer or industrial company.

America deserves better!

And you are its best emissary.

In the end, the people rule.

Talk up for America and start today!
