No stress?

I’d be lying if I told you that.

So would anyone else.  What’s that got to do with cancer?

Everything. 

Stress is at the root of most of our problems, be they cancer or a mere headache. 

Stress is both the cause and the result of events.  They could be events inside our heads or from our environment.

Many moons ago, when I was doing psychology 101, the professor introduced the concept of stress by saying there were 2 kinds; eustress and distress.  The first is the positive kind, and the second, well…you guessed it

An Olympic athlete will experience eustress when poised at the starting blocks.  It puts him in a good position to win, flooding his brain with visions of success, and the belief that he can achieve it.

Distress means what it says.  It floods the brain with visions of things gone wrong, replaying them over and over again, raising the blood pressure each time, slowing down our rational thinking .  With enough dis-stress we acquire an injury, inside or outside. 

With an injury comes an open door to cancer.  Maybe not that instant, but soon enough.  Think that’s a stretch?  Take a look at this: stress levels today are the highest in recorded history.  This summer, both the U.S. and Canada promoted cancer to #1 in the list of killers.  Do you think that maybe, just maybe, there could be a link?

Now that may be the last word in simplification, I know, but that just about sums it up.   

When there is an injury to the body, stem cells rush to the rescue.  They morph into  the new cell factory that mass-produces new, healthy cells to repair the old ones. 

Now, normally, when the repair job is done the stem cells stop replicating.  But when the body doesn’t have the right nutrients the replicating gets out of control, duplicating as only partially healthy cells. 

Ah-ha!  But partially  healthy cells are bad news.  One part is healthy, the other is unhealthy.  You don’t want these guys floating around in your body.  And what’s the unhealthy part made of?  Fungus.  Not pretty at all. 

And that, my friends, is how cancer starts.  You can discover more about this in some of my upcoming teleseminars.

Fungus is fast-moving.  It duplicates itself at jet speed. 

How did all this start?  As stress. Deis-stress, not Eu-stress.  And substandard food. 

Bottom line?  Stress + Fungus = bad news.  This news is called Cancer.  And that’s just the start of the story.  Stay tuned for the next episode.

That’s entirely possible 

But you’ve been told you’re not exactly cancer-free you have a world of choice before you.  No need to rush into anything.  In most cases the cancer took a decade to develop.  Stay brave.  You’ll get there.  Think along with me. 

Now how does anyone stay cancer-free? In the absolute sense no one can say they know. But all things being equal, we can if we know how. 

Do the twin prongs of nutrition and air come to mind?  It seems most people get fortified this way.  I know I do.  What’s on a typical menu for you? And how often do you get outside for some exercise?  Takes a bit more than that, I know, and don’t worry, we’ll get to it.  How’s your breathing?

My friend Marshall tells me there’s no cancer in his family, so he’s safe. However, we all have cancer cells in the body.  They don’t show up in tests until they’re in the billions.  When your doctor tells you there are no cancer cells it simply means they can’t be detected in tests because there aren’t enough of them. 

Did you know?  Many of us get cancer once a week. When that happens and we’ve been eating and breathing properly the cancer is beaten.  Many of us beat it about seven times in a lifetime, often without a diagnosis.  Given the right nutrients, the body rises to the occasion.

You must be super-saturated with all the information out there about environmental toxins.  Our food supply has been compromised by early harvesting, genetic modification and soil overuse.  In the Middle Ages they used to let the soil rest every seven years.  Today we think we’re super smart with fertilizers and just keep ploughing them into the soil to artificially enrich it.  But Mother Nature needs a holiday too. 

Have you been out in the city streets in rush hour and inhaled the pungent fumes?  Fumes you might not have noticed include the ones given off silently by carpet glue, detergents, dishwashing fluid, and other cleaners.  Have you ever noticed the smell of the fumes coming out of the dishwasher once the powder gets heated up? 

We were never meant to inhale all this chemical output, and are ill-equipped to deal with the toxins that accompany it.  Nor can we remove them from the body fast enough.  Guess what all the dead cells do!  If we are overweight, we have two strikes against us: fat cells wrap themselves round the toxins and keep a disproportionate number of them in the body.  One fine day, the body protests—that’s when cancer takes over. 

Stay tuned: we’re going to show those unwanted lodgers the door!  

Know of any other lodgers?  Leave me a comment!
