Just how incredibly complex the mechanisms of those diseases escaping "cure" are, may be imagined by a few facts I just dug up on Glioma, one of the commoner brain tumors. As you can see, many inferences come into play, such as cell phone usage. Interestingly, one form of treatment being used for brain tumors is the use of electromagnetic radiation, just like cell phones produce, in treating brain tumors! Go figure! "A glioma is a type of tumor that starts in the brain or spine. Tumor suppressor protein 53 (p53) is mutated early in the disease . p53 is the "guardian of the genome," which, during DNA and cell duplication, makes sure the DNA is copied correctly and destroys the cell (apoptosis) if the DNA is mutated and cannot be fixed. When p53 itself is mutated, other mutations can survive. Gliomas have been correlated to the electromagnetic radiation from cell phones, and a link between the cancer and cell phone usage was considered possible. Gliomas are rarely curable." A whole 'nuther area to study and try to understand is apoptosis, the process constantly being employed to decide which cells and when will be killed and eliminated, this occurring constantly within the human body! Another of my innumerable "imponderables", over which I fret and often writhe, wishing I had gone into Medicine. Frank
Is it not funny that most of these cancers are self made. Caused by radiation that we know is there or food we eat that the excuse is I don't eat that much of it. The real problem is it starts at one cell by the time they catch it you have had it for years.
Honestly, we don't believe in that radiation thing. When the color tv emerged here in the early 1960s (before I was born), people were saying that the radiation (radioactive actually) can cause cancer. When the home computer came about in the 1980s, the same rumors pervaded the air that the computer monitor has deadly radiation. And what do you know, they were selling monitor filters, huh. And naturally, the most popular invention as of now is the cellphone so those creative studies would come up with something.
Corie your are right there has been no concrete evidence but there has been a lot of correlation . Wikipedia has said that ionizing radiation does cause cancer but not enough evidence about the others. Up to 10% of invasive cancers are related to radiation exposure https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation-induced_cancer Like I said correlation TV came out in the 50s cancer started to increase cause or just correlation?? The computers came out 70s – 80s cancer has been increasing cause or just correlation?? I sit in front of my computer many hours a day I have taken a multi meter and checked the amount of energy going into my body from it, it is easy to check just take a good ground and a multi meter sit by the computer grab the multi meter lead in one hand and grab the ground and see the amount of energy that is passing through your body do the same thing a long ways from the computer see the difference. When I am on the computer now I am bare foot and stand on a grounded surface. People with brain cancers the correlation with the same side as they use the phone is really surprising cause or correlation ?? Seeing that cancer starts at on cell and then grows and some cancers you can have for many many years before they are detected. Cancer started to take off in the 1950s and they say now 1 in 3 will have cancer and in a few years it might be 1 in 2 That is about the same time electronics and fast food became common cause or just correlation??.
It is a well-documented fact that folks exposed to unusually high doses of ionizing radiation, or chronically long-term doses, such as from fallout from nuke tests, have suffered far higher cancer incidence than would be statistically indicated. Documented in Hiroshima and Nagasaki survivors. Also, Chernobyl accident exposures. John Wayne's crew shot several films in the area of St. George, Utah, during government-unexpected heavy fallout from nuke tests in Nevada to the west. That crew experienced higher than expected cancer incidence. Frank
