well- medicines can b divided into 3 groups: 1-medicines that do cure like that for treating cancer ("chemotherapy" & "yes it has side effects" also "yes it won't work all the time as it depends on the stage of cancer that's why early discovery is crucial"), 2-medicines that do a function that the body stopped doing like that for diabetes ("insulin injections control the amount of sugar n the body when the pancreas is defective & can't produce enough insulin"), 3-medicines that hide the symptoms like that for flue & pain-killers. the 3rd has the largest share because it's easier to make & it's "commercial" but still it's legit, there is a group that isn't a medicine rather it's a pseudo/fake-medicine ("they literally don't try to solve any problem nor hide any & n many cases they r rather harmful") usually n the fields of "skin care" "hair care" "weight loss" this group isn't medicine rather it's "scam". unfortunately the health care sector is becoming more "commercial" n many parts of the world where only those with much money can b treated while those with less money r left to die as n the case of cancer.
"I’ve always had a keen interest in health and what makes one person get sick while another doesn’t" i've also always had that question n my mind & i had the same answer "nutrition and toxicity" but + "genetics", "nutrition and toxicity r the only answers that make sense for answering questions like the crazy increase n diabetes & cancer incidents compared to the past "even not the far past like 80s". have a great day
I believe cancer too is a symptom of a toxic body and to treat it by adding chemo to the toxic load seems counterintuitive. I'm not a great believer in the theory of genetics, particularly with regard to disease.
well, many cells n our body have a lifespan where they age & get replaced with newer ones "like hair" as long as the process is balanced where 1 aged cell get replaced by 1 new cell- everything works fine as it should b & no problems- but f the number of new cells outnumber the aged cells to b replaced- things get out of control & uncontrolled proliferation develops what we know as "cancer"- so the question would b what cause this ? it's caused by our body being malfunctioning- our body just like pc/mobile-apps it's made of a code that control our gender & our general appearance + it tells our body how to function & do the things that r "automatic by default" like our heartbeats, breathing, immune-system- that code is called "genes" & a faulty gene will cause our body to malfunction or not to function just like codes n pc/mobile-apps, a faulty gene is caused by a bad mutation- so the question would b what cause the bad mutation ? here ur answer comes "nutrition & toxicity- smoking, alcohol, unhealthy foods & drinks, pollution, stress, trauma, shocks, lack of sleep, lack of nutritional elements, low water intake""although some suggest that random bad mutation do happen" but hence genes r transmittable from the upper generation to the lower- a malfunction n the body of the new generation can b caused by a bad mutation that happened n the older generation "that can b ur direct ancestors or ur ancestors who lived centuries ago", unfortunately we didn't develop a better cure than radiotherapy & chemotherapy for cancer treatment yet they r used n younger patients, while for elders "usually 70+" they r given painkillers & "medicines" that reduce the symptoms for as many years as possible. this is how genes r transmitted across generations https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mendelian_inheritance & this is an example of an inherited genetic disease https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haemophilia & this is the incident of making the 1st genetically edited human to b HIV-resistant which happened n china https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/He_Jiankui_affair . didn't plan to b that long- i hope that wasn't boring! haha. have a nice day
Thanks, but I know all about the theory of genetics. And as with germs and viruses, it's just a theory, one that is beyond either you or I to prove or disprove. Thus we shall have to agree to disagree.
Radiotherapy & chemotherapy are not cures, they are treatments that kill most within 5-10 years.
