Yup, instead of a disease of the human body host, cancer seems to be a natural cellular survival mechanism in which the cells revert to their ancestral form. The cancer cells aren't seeking to destroy the host, just to survive themselves.
This seems plausible, though my main point is to express notion that; if the rest of the being is strong enough then it will be able to contain these rogue cells and eliminate them from the body. Aberrant cell growth is common to life, and only becomes cancer once the bodies defenses become inhibited.
I will try and better outline my own theory a little more clearly.
I think that there is a way to view cancer in terms of the final degeneration from AVs progression of infectious disease.
When an organism becomes toxic or out of balance it becomes susceptible to bacteria and yeast, that feed off the sick tissue, and stimulate the body to purge. These infections are symptoms of imbalance and not the direct cause of illness.
If the organism still persist in bad habits or remains within a bad environment then the next stage of defenses will be employed. It will become besieged by viruses, that are meant not only to cleans the body and eliminate damaged cells, but are also involved in the restructuring of DNA itself. Viruses are the mechanism of adaption that enables life to find balance in all circumstances.
Viruses are very enigmatic. I suggest that they may be involved in maintaining homogeneity between the many cells of an particular organism, as well as in the species as a whole. I further postulate that they may be responsible for maintaining biologic order and genetic viability throughout all of life. They are Gaias mercenary that act as enforces of genetic order. They infiltrate and tare apart the DNA of aberrant cells and transport instructions to the rest of the body and trigger the immune system into making appropriate responses in order to re-balance the system. The anti bodies produced in these reactions can alter genetic expression. In this way the main body of the organism is able to overcome the "mutiny" and pass on the alterations to the next generation. Evolution occurs in accordance to whatever nature requires for survival within ever changing environmental conditions.
Scientist have discovered cancer viruses that are active in the majority of tumors biopsied and tested, but they fail to see the true connection between the tumor and the virus. Animals in factory farms that are raised in unnatural ways are host to countless new strains of cancer virus, and develop tumors regularly. Its natures desperate attempt to preserve the lives of these creatures in the midst of great environmental adversity.
Sadly I must digress that not all of these adaptions to GMO, antibiotics, pesticides, and other unnatural environmental contamination are ideal by any means. On the whole, I fear that irreversible damage to the genetic structure of large numbers of people is occurring in our present world, and will continue to occur well beyond the foreseeable future. Leaving a legacy of chromosomal chaos and epidemics of conditions like cancer that are associated with environmental degradation.
When the environmental degradation within the being too great that none of our natural means of coping are enough to bring the body back into balance, then the viral mutations can no longer be controlled by the immune system, and the damaged cells that would normally be eliminated are allowed to run wild, the result being malignant and often incurable cancer
Once the body reaches the state that it can no longer check the growth of the mutant cells, then it becomes very difficult even for all the kings horses and all the kings men to cut out the cancer and put Humpty Dumpty together again. Even the most holistic methods will often fail in the face of malignant cancer, because of the degree of genetic degradation that has occurred. There will never be an outright cure, but its possible that we can develop methods of best treating each occurrence case by case, utilizing holistic treatments designed to optimize the rejuvenative capacity of the individual.
But if the conditions that lead to cancer are recognized early enough and the appropriate corrections to food and environment are made then I am of the opinion that most need not ever have to worry about dying from cancer.
When it comes to cancer ,Prevention is the best medicine.
