Current projections for cancer show that 1 in 2 of us will be diagnosed in our lifetimes. And obviously, even once its reached 1 in 2, it continues
Current treatment attacks the cancer, and therefore the body's own systems
There are a growing number of people aiming to rebuild/strengthen their immune systems instead. None of this date is being collected and used. Similarly for the many millions of people regularly taking responsibility for their health themselves.
We need to change the way we manage health, and learn from wellness, not just illness. For e.g
We're facing 1 in 2 being diagnosed with cancer. The only treatment offered, allowed, or assessed is chemical, aiming to destroy the cancer. No one is assessing people working toward natural, or integrated wellness at all
The NHS see 1m people every 36 hrs. If they were collecting information about wellness, not only would the data fund the NHS and more, it would help what we know about reducing all illness, including cancer.
Cancer research looks primarily at how we attack cancer in ways that are increasingly less brutal.
No one's looking at how we live well with cancer so it can cope with the illness, and strengthen the body rather than attacking the illness.
This is true for many other illnesses.
Looking at kinder ways to strengthen the body could impact on all illnesses, not just cancer.
We're becoming immune to what 1 in 2 being diagnosed with cancer really means, as it's too scary to really consider.
Take a moment.
1 in 2 of our loved ones getting cancer, and only being offered treatments that attack the body.
1 in 2 having this treatment might not be the best we can do.
How do we know if we don't look?
It's no enough just to keep managing a rapidly spreading illness. We need to look at how to reduce the numbers.
Screw '1 in 2'
