First you have to understand: Cancer is not a disease

We all have to wonder: 'Why does modern medicine still not treat cancer until now?'

This is probably the most common misunderstanding in the public when it comes to cancer. We often use the term 'cancer' as if it were a disease. While cancer truth is a generic name for only 100 different diseases , that's why modern medicine has not yet been able to cure cancer. Simply because modern medicine is trying to treat more than 100 different diseases, there are those they have cured, have what they are able to treat, and there is still a long time to cure.

There are benign tumors that are easily removed, but have malignant tumors, destroy the body and spread to other places.

Let's find out more. We all know that our cells are always proliferating to create new cells to replace old cells, and this proliferation is always controlled. For example, nail cells will proliferate another nail cell, not skin. But this reproductive process is not always accurate, there will always be cells that do not function properly. However, they will be detected and eliminated by the body's control mechanism, but unfortunately, there are bad guys who are able to escape and multiply more vigorously, escaping the circle of control. When that happens, they create tumors. There are benign tumors that are easily removed, but have malignant tumors, destroy the body and spread to other places. Those malignant tumors are miserable cancers. These cancer cells thrive and spread to other parts of the body, when they are called metastases . When cancer cells begin to spread, they will cling to other internal organs and eat up the body's nutrients. In addition, they also penetrate and destroy the structures of internal organs. All of this makes the vital organs of the body, such as the liver, kidneys, unable to function and gradually killing the patient. But metastasis does not change their nature, lung cancer cells spread to bone, they are still lung cancer cells.

What is the difference between different types of cancer? That's how they multiply, and they respond differently to different treatments . There are cells that proliferate, whose cells proliferate, have something that is easy to detect, some that hide themselves for many years, and at the time of detection, the disease has reached its final stage. Some cancers must be treated by surgery, some can be treated with radiotherapy. Often people will use many different measures at the same time.

So what causes? The factors that contribute to your chances of getting cancer are the first to age . As you get older, the cells don't work as well as before, the body's defense mechanisms are weak, so the faulty cells are born more and develop more easily, easily turning into cancerous tumors. Genetic factors, diet and living environment are also major causes of cancer. Having chemicals that are absorbed continuously in large amounts will increase the risk of cancer.

There are many causes of cancer such as aging, genetics, diet .

Are there any foods that can kill cancer? We often hear about super foods that can kill cancer cells, or some miracle medicine that kills cancer cells. Are those advertisements true? The answer is yes, but the possibility is high that it kills the sick. Oops! Because cancer cells have extremely strong vitality, compared to normal cells in the body, it is like a superman , and worse, it always clings to internal organs in the body. A natural food that has enough toxins to kill cancer cells is highly likely to destroy your organs as well.

It is important to understand that food plays a supporting role in cancer treatment such as providing the body with the nutrients it needs to recover, helping the body quickly repair damaged tissues and cells. So food is still very important, but saying that just eating and destroying cancer is a fantasy dream .

Just eating and destroying cancer is a false dream.

So 'the millionaire question' here is: how to kill cancer cells and still keep the patient's life? That is the biggest problem of medicine today. The doctor must always examine and monitor the patient carefully to be able to give the right type of treatment for each type of cancer. Doctors also have to consider carefully the drugs, chemotherapy, radiation to make sure they only affect cancer cells, reducing damage to surrounding cells. However, the surrounding cells affected by cancer therapy are inevitable. That's why people who have previously undergone radiation or chemotherapy often have hair loss, thinness, or vomiting, loss of appetite, because cancer-killing chemicals have also had a negative effect. their organs. Now modern therapies have alleviated these problems.
