Cancer cells in our body? (1 of 3)

Good morning friends. As everybody were remembering the death of our former President Corazon Aquino, everybody were sympathizing her. Her recent death made the country sad as she was a good lady. She died of colon cancer. I have read one article about cancer. I want to share all with you so that you will have some knowledge of it.

The Internet is recently flooded with a medical claim that is scaring the public. Circulating in the email world is the statement that says “normally, we all have dormant cancer cells in our body.” Implied is the assertion that all healthy people are walking around with a time bomb within them, ready to explode.

This senseless and unkind fabrication is obviously the work of someone with an ignorant, or confused, if not twisted, mind.

The healthy person does not carry any cancer cell in their body, period. If every tissue in the body of a normal person is biopsied, or if a person who dies of any non-cancerous disease, like heart attack or stroke, or trauma, is autopsied from head to foot, no cancer cells will be found. The only exception to this is if the person had an undiagnosed cancer, which is incidentally found on autopsy, a finding that excludes this person from being healthy in the first place.

Therefore, all healthy individuals, from birth to adulthood to their death, do not normally carry, or have, any cancer cells in their body, unless they develop a malignancy. If they abuse themselves and subject their body to carcinogens, substances or toxins that cause cancers, then the tissues of the organs involved (like the lungs among smokers, the esophagus or food pipe, and the liver, among alcoholics) could be so irritated and damaged by the toxic agent for the cells of those tissues to change into cancer cells.

Normal cellsThe normal cells our body came with when we were born have a pre-determined growth pattern and final adult size, from infancy to adulthood. As the cells, tissues and organs attain their normal number and size, the cell growth ceases at the right time. –The Inquirer
