Why does a cell turn cancerous?
The more specific questions to ask
"What mechanisms may be putting a cell's
aerobic energy
production "out of order"?
"What is damaging / mutating DNA to cause altered genetic
expression, that allows cancer to proliferate?"
Defective genes are wrongly suspected
"Everyone should know
that most cancer research is largely a fraud and that the major cancer research
organizations are derelict in their duties to the people who support them."
- Linus Pauling Ph.D. (Two-time Nobel Prize winner)
Genes produce enzymes,
which control all cell life functions. We are led to believe
that carcinogens and mutagens or lifestyle and hereditary factors "predispose"
us to genetic defects that cause cancer.
The theory (controller
gene combined with the loss of a suppressor gene
mysteriously results in unrestrained growth. However,
genes are stable molecules that account for the stability of life, so how can we
have a raging cancer epidemic, with over 6 million
new cases per year?
Cancer mysteries that
don't fit the genetic defect theory.
There are far too many cancer observations that cannot
be answered by the defective gene theory, including cancer growth itself:
Up to 96% of cancer cells have
membrane traits
Bone cancer does not result in
unrestrained bone growth
There is no cancer of the heart,
arteries or veins
Injuries that
do not heal cause cancer.
Why aren't people born with cancer? E.g.
such as the genetic Down's syndrome;
Why can identical twins get different diseases?
Cancer occurs most frequently within liquid storage
vessels. E.g. the stomach, colon, bladder, breast, prostate;
Genes do
not control growth any more than a steering wheel controls an automobile.
The steering wheel does not power the automobile, and genes
do not cause cells to divide and multiply.
Genes control
the direction
of growth and maintain the continuity of life. Biology
texts state that genes have only two functions:
(1) Store information;
(2) Duplicate information in the form of RNA.
No genes control other genes and none control rate of growth
The genetic code is the universal "dictionary"
by which genetic information is used to make
PROTEINS --- the functional
machinery of living organisms instructions conveyed from DNA
for making proteins) will be turned into a set of amino acids.
Nucleotides
(in a specific and controlled order) are the
building blocks of DNA and RNA. Each nucleotide has
3 parts: a nitrogenous base , a pentose
sugar and a phosphate.
when DNA is transcribed into messenger RNA, the
sequence of bases remains exactly the same, except that each thymine
(T) is replaced by uracil (U).
The nitrogenous
base. One of adenine (A), guanine(G), cytosine(C), thymine(T),
and uracil (U). A, C and G are found in both RNA and DNA,
T is only in DNA and U takes the place of Thymine in RNA.
In DNA ,
the nitrogenous bases form one of two functionally equal
base pairs - either AT or CG.
Diagram shows all 64 codons in mRNA
The "words"
(codons, nucleotide triplets) of the
genetic message are three nucleotides long. SInce RNA
and DNA each have only 4 bases and a "word"
(codon) is 3 nucleotides long , the "dictionary"
has only 64 permutations (i.e. 43 ) possible "words",
with U of mRNA codons substituting for T in DNA, when making amino acids
according to mRNA instructions.
Proteins.
61 of these 64 "words" (codons, nucleotide triplets of nitrogenous
bases) are utilized by messenger RNA (mRNA, directs protein synthesis)
to code for the 20 amino acids, which are then selectively strung together
in the cytoplasm (attached on ribosomes) to make different proteins
(called polypeptides). Except for methionine (ATG) and tryptophan
(TGG), the
other 18 amino acids have more than one codon (from 2 to 6) - and the
code is therefore called degenerate .
Some example amino acids are glycine (GGT), serine (TCT), and valine
(GCT). e.g. the polypeptide glycine-serine-valine
will read GGT-TCT-GCT. 3 "words" (codons) are used to
indicate where a polypeptide stops: TAA, TAG and TGA. The polypeptide "START"
is indicated by ATG (the identical codon as methionone).
The existence of oncogenes has never
been proven. It's just a theory.
The more likely causes
microbial invasion of cells
Another strongly evidenced theory is that cancer is caused
by microbial invasion of cells as a result of weakened cell walls damaged by carcinogens
in the body
A microbe
is able to get inside a healthy cell causing its aerobic mitochondrial
energy production to be put "out of order" i.e. the cell
is now a cancer cell Eminent
researchers cite various forms of microbes as the final step in the process of a
cell becoming cancerous Researcher
Ron Gdanski has shown that it is a microbe inside cancer cells that causes DNA damage Microbes
inside cells "Gobble up"
glucose Internal
tissue damage can allow microbes an in-road.
More than 90% of
all cancers start in tissue. Conditions or substances that can cause tissue damage
include an overly acidic diet, leaky gut syndromeand toxins Some examples
of microbial infections involved in cancer. Smoking
some parasites,
physical injuries that do not heal Cancer
industry knows that fungi is involved in cancer. Since about 1927, the mechanism of toxic drugs (E.g. chemotherapy) to cure cancer
has been to block ergosterol or otherwise kill fungi. Ergosterol
(named from the common grain and corn fungi, Ergot) is a necessary component
of fungal cell membranes.
other factors
Nutritional deficiencies
Magnesium deficiency. Affects
the cell "battery"charge and energy production by causing imbalance
with calcium and decreasing potential voltage difference across cell membrane;
Hormonal imbalances
Toxins/Pollution/Toxic byproducts
Chronic infections/inflammation
Chronic stress/emotional conflict
Free radical damage
Lack of enzymes involved in aerobic energy production.
"Dead" processed and cooked foods lack enzymes
Lack of
oxygen being supplied to cell mitochondria;
A choking
sea of acidic toxins excreted by microbes would use up available
oxygen. Thereby, they would
lower mitochondrial oxygen supply;
When a
cell becomes anaerobic (i.e. converts
to glucose fermentation), a dense layer of protein
enzymes coat the outside of the cell wall. This would
further inhibit oxygen
from getting into the cell; (some cancer therapies involve high doses of
pancreatic enzymes to break down this protein coating)Poor cellular membrane integrity.
This will affect the cell "battery"charge and energy production
by disturbing control of substances passing through membrane.This could be caused
by an imbalance of fatty acids composing membrane -
Omega-3 fats are commonly deficient in
Western diet.Something else?... - Researchers
are investigating various mechanisms that may be involved in various stages of cancer
development and treatment. E.g. molecular
iodine (I2 ), apoptosis, gene insertion,
and DNA methylation.
