Mainstream cancer research has been fixated on our genes’ defects (mutations) and all but discounted the field of study related to why the genes’ expressions are altered including the profound effect of surrounding influences. Society would benefit immensely from seeing cancer through a different lens and here’s why.

In her 2010 graduate dissertation, Dr Kelly Turner writes, “Spontaneous Remission of cancer … is defined as “the disappearance, complete or incomplete, of cancer without medical treatment, or with treatment that is considered inadequate to produce the resulting disappearance of disease symptoms or tumor” (O’Regan, 1995) Her dissertation goes on to highlight, “Spontaneous Remission (SR) is so typical for a very specific kind of infant neuroblastoma (Stage IV-S), it is now standard medical practice to delay chemotherapy in those cases in order to see if the neuroblastoma will regress on its own, which it does 60-80% of the time …” Even in normally deadly childhood cancers like diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) SR occurrences (albeit extremely rare) have been reported.

Why should this alter childhood cancer research efforts? Well for starters SRs have been documented worldwide, in all cancers, at all stages of the disease, and for all ages. Basically NIL toxicity, a fraction of the cost, and renewed high levels of health. More importantly magic is not the foundation for the SRs; in all the science conducted over the years, what have we missed?

SR occurrences suggest that our bodies when given the right support can overcome the most challenging childhood cancers.  Published biochemical and physical chemistry efforts seem to show links to all cancers where the composition of our cellular environment (a resultant product of an individual’s life) is heavily implicated. The need to view the resulting influences of this dynamic cellular ‘soup’ on the expression of our genes in tandem (not separately) is vital, and central to a patient’s level of wellness. It is this (total environmental) support that is lacking in all conventional attempts to combat cancer.

Cancer’s mysteries may be way less mysterious then we are led to believe.  Its time to invest a portion of research into entirely new paths.  What paths have have you invested time or energy in…how has that worked out for you?
