What is Cancer?
What Causes Cancer?
We all get cancer, every day.
Our cells constantly deal with stressors that cause genetic damage. It only takes one altered cell to potentially grow into cancer.
Weakened body defenses lead to cancer.
A healthy immune system protects us from altered cells by identifying and killing them before they become a threat. A weak immune system, on the other hand, allows cancer the time it needs to entrench itself and start multiplying.
Cancer is an evasive escape artist.
Even when the immune system is reasonably healthy, cancer can sometimes find a way to slip past our body’s roaming immune system sentinels.
Cancer does not happen overnight.
Poor nutrition, over-eating, lack of exercise, stress, inadequate sleep, exposure to environmental toxins, and emotionally traumatic episodes are all daily stressors that take a toll on our body’s resources. Over time, these can overwhelm the immune system and impair functioning.
Cancer grows from stem cells.
You can trace every cell in your body, including cancer cells, back to an extremely powerful cell called a stem cell. Stem cells have the genetic ability to multiply and transform into any kind of cell, making them very difficult to identify and kill. This is why chemotherapy and radiation often result in recurrence. Although these methods destroy a sizable tumor mass, studies estimate 1 in every 100 tumor cells is a stem cell that can easily survive and spread.
Healthy cells comprise a large part of tumors.
Malignant cancer cells are experts at “recruiting” surrounding healthy cells. They are not solely dependent on cell division among their own kind for growth. This allows tumors to develop much faster and makes them harder to target.
Cancer cells create environments unfavorable to healthy cells.
Cancer cells absorb sugar and other nutrients 10 times faster than healthy cells, outcompeting them. They also resort to a primitive form of food metabolism, creating an acidic environment and making them resistant to the natural process of cell death.
What Cancers Can We Treat?
Following our Seven Key Principles of Cancer Therapy, our treatment methods focus on both targeting cancer cells and changing the body’s environment. This healing approach allows us to universally treat all types of cancers and disease. The following list represents only those that we have successfully treated so far. If your illness does not appear on this list, don’t worry. The same principles apply to your body. You can still opt for treatment at a Hope4Cancer Treatment Center.

Shield Yourself
The immune system is the body’s greatest defense mechanism, as I discussed in my immune system overview. However, it’s constantly threatened by aspects of our everyday lives, including chronic stress, poor diet, inactivity, isolation, sleep deprivation, toxins and negativity. To keep ourselves protected from cancer, we need to ensure that we’re keeping our immune system healthy and active.
