1 Mrs. Degl1 Uncontrolled Cell Growth (cervical cancer cell dividing) Cancer has been around as long as mankind, but only in the second half of the 20th century did the number of cancer cases explode. Some scientists believe that contributing to this explosion are large amounts of toxins and pollutants we are exposed to, high stress lifestyles that zap the immune system, poor quality junk food that is full of pesticides, electromagnetic stress, and just about anything that wasn't around 200 years ago. These scientists believe that these items alter the internal environment in the body and turn it into an environment that promotes the growth of cancer.

2 Mrs. Degl2 Cancer is a disease that originates in our own cells. A change in the DNA causes a special gene called an oncogene to be switched on. This leads to uncontrollable cell reproduction by mitosis. And this is a cancer.

3 Mrs. Degl3 Cancer cells do not respond to the signals that regulate cell growth. As a result they grow uncontrollably and form masses of cells called tumors. Cancer cells can also break loose from the tumor and spread throughout the body. This can cause serious medical illness or death. What causes cancer?Treatments for CancerTreatments for Cancer There are many causes of cancer: Smoking or Chewing Tobacco Products Radiation Exposure Certain Viral Infections and STDs Pesticides Certain Chemicals/Drugs (carcinogens) Genetics Some cancers have no known cause Chemotherapy Radiotherapy/Radiation Surgery/Removal Immunotherapy Stem Cell Transplants Many Other Natural/Holistic Treatments. Cancer is a disease of the cell cycle.
