Poll about cancer "cure"

[Monica]

One additional drawback to cancer treatment research (as a subset of cancer research which would include investigation into cancer cells themselves, and how they form and are propagated in the body) is that there are several, potentially influential factors, which are typically not controlled for:

1. Diet. Even the "lamestream" American Cancer Society recommends dietary improvements.

2. Attitude. How does an individual respond to the catalyst of "having cancer"?

3. Expectations. For example, has a person watched somebody else be treated for cancer, and how did the outcome influence their expectations?

4. Exercise. Did a person change their activity level? How so, and to what degree?

5. Hydration. What is the quantity and quality of water consumed by the individual?

6. Support. How much of an effect (for good or for ill) does the person's social circle have?

7. Psychological. If there is an unprocessed, or partially processed, event which contributed to the development of cancer, has this been resolved?

I would add:

8. Detoxification. Many cancers are exacerbated by environmental poisons. (As evidenced by increased cancer rates in certain areas or after toxic spills, radiation, etc.)

9. Spiritual/Use of Catalyst. We know from Ra that cancer can be a manifestation of unresolved anger. We also know that everything is catalyst.
