Cancer: disease of civilization? by Vilhjalmur Stefansson Pdf
Vilhjalmur Stefansson has had the extraordinary privilege and the rare merit to know intimately certain segments of the world which will always be strange to most of us. He has had the alertness to note details, to make correlations which would have escaped others. He has been unhampered by professional or even by lay prejudices. And he has a gift for expressing the ideas which his observations have evoked. The story which he presents in this book is a fascinating one. Here is the sort of thing we call basic research, just as much so as if it were being conducted in the latest of laboratories. Here are the data from a series of experiments which Nature has performed for us—in the Arctic northland, in the tropic forests of Gabon, and in the temperate valley of Hunzaland. She has varied a series of environmental factors yet come up with a like result in the three places, and a result which she has produced, so far as we know, only in those three special combinations of environments, not in any other of her myriads of combinations elsewhere. What have these three in common, that they produce this result, so important to us? Nature will not repeat those experiments. And we will not have another Stefansson to read the data and present them to us. I hope, therefore, that what he has to say will be read carefully and pondered deeply.

When Thomas Edison began wiring New York City with a direct current electricity distribution system in the 1880s, he gave humankind the magic of electric light, heat, and power; in the process, though, he inadvertently opened a Pandoras Box of unimaginable illness and death. Dirty Electricity tells the story of Dr. Samuel Milham, the scientist who first alerted the world about the frightening link between occupational exposure to electromagnetic fields and human disease. Milham takes readers through his early years and education, following the twisting path that led to his discovery that most of the twentieth century diseases of civilization, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and suicide, are caused by electromagnetic field exposure. In the second edition, he explains how electrical exposure does its damage, and how electricity is causing our current epidemics of asthma, diabetes and obesity. Dr. Milham warns that because of the recent proliferation of radio frequency radiation from cell phones and towers, terrestrial antennas, Wi-Fi and Wi-max systems, broadband internet over power lines, and personal electronic equipment, we may be facing a looming epidemic of morbidity and mortality. In Dirty Electricity, he reveals the steps we must take, personally and as a society, to coexist with this marvelous but dangerous technology.

The Emperor of All Maladies by Siddhartha Mukherjee Pdf
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and a documentary from Ken Burns on PBS, this New York Times bestseller is “an extraordinary achievement” (The New Yorker)—a magnificent, profoundly humane “biography” of cancer—from its first documented appearances thousands of years ago through the epic battles in the twentieth century to cure, control, and conquer it to a radical new understanding of its essence. Physician, researcher, and award-winning science writer, Siddhartha Mukherjee examines cancer with a cellular biologist’s precision, a historian’s perspective, and a biographer’s passion. The result is an astonishingly lucid and eloquent chronicle of a disease humans have lived with—and perished from—for more than five thousand years. The story of cancer is a story of human ingenuity, resilience, and perseverance, but also of hubris, paternalism, and misperception. Mukherjee recounts centuries of discoveries, setbacks, victories, and deaths, told through the eyes of his predecessors and peers, training their wits against an infinitely resourceful adversary that, just three decades ago, was thought to be easily vanquished in an all-out “war against cancer.” The book reads like a literary thriller with cancer as the protagonist. Riveting, urgent, and surprising, The Emperor of All Maladies provides a fascinating glimpse into the future of cancer treatments. It is an illuminating book that provides hope and clarity to those seeking to demystify cancer.

Health and the Rise of Civilization by Mark Nathan Cohen Pdf
Civilized nations popularly assume that "primitive" societies are poor, ill, and malnourished and that progress through civilization automatically implies improved health. In this provocative new book, Mark Nathan Cohen challenges this belief. Using evidence from epidemiology, anthropology, and archaeology, Cohen provides fascinating evidence about the actual effects of civilization on health, suggesting that some aspects of civilization create as many health problems as they prevent or cure. " This book] is certain to become a classic-a prominent and respected source on this subject for years into the future. . . . If you want to read something that will make you think, reflect and reconsider, Cohen's Health and the Rise of Civilization is for you."-S. Boyd Eaton, Los Angeles Times Book Review "A major accomplishment. Cohen is a broad and original thinker who states his views in direct and accessible prose. . . . This is a book that should be read by everyone interested in disease, civilization, and the human condition."-David Courtwright, Journal of the History of Medicine "Deserves to be read by anthropologists concerned with health, medical personnel responsible for communities, and any medical anthropologists whose minds are not too case-hardened. Indeed, it could provide great profit and entertainment to the general reader."-George T. Nurse, Current Anthropology "Cohen has done his homework extraordinarily well, and the coverage of the biomedical, nutritional, demographic, and ethnographic literature about foragers and low energy agriculturists is excellent. The subject of culture and health is near the core of a lot of areas of archaeology and ethnology as well as demography, development economics, and so on. The book deserves a wide readership and a central place in our professional libraries. As a scholarly summary it is without parallel."-Henry Harpending, American Ethnologist

Most cancer research dollars have been wasted by asking the wrong questions, looking in the wrong places, and recycling the same failed approaches while expecting different results. Conventional cancer treatments damage health, cause new cancers, lower the quality of life, and decrease the chances of survival. In fact, most people who die from cancer are not dying from cancer, but from their treatments! That's the bad news. Here's the good news: We can end the cancer epidemic. In Never Fear Cancer Again, readers will gain a revolutionary new understanding of health and disease and will come to understand that cancer is a biological process that can be turned on and off, not something that can be surgically removed or destroyed with radiation or toxic chemicals. So whether cancer has already been diagnosed or if prevention is the concern, it is possible to turn off the wayward production of these malfunctioning cells once and for all by reading this book and implementing its strategies. The key to any disease has one simple cause: malfunctioning cells that are created by either deficiency or toxicity. By switching off the malfunctioning cells, you switch off the cancer. Never Fear Cancer Again guides readers along six pathways that cause deficiency or toxicity at the cellular level: nutritional path, genetic path, medical path, toxin path, physical path, and the psychological path. By making key lifestyle changes, people truly have the power to take control of cancer and transform their health. This radically different, yet holistic approach restored author Raymond Francis back to health just as it has helped thousands of others, many of whom were told they had no other options or that their cancer was incurable. Take back your health with this book and never fear cancer again.
CANCEROUS TUMOR LIFE: BIOLOGICAL AND PHYSICAL ASPECTS by MIROSŁAW KOZŁOWSKI,SULTAN TARLACI Pdf
What is Cancer? In their seminal paper, Davies and Lineweaver (2011) developed a new theory of cancerous tumors. Until now, most research has focused on cancer as a human disease, but tumors are also widespread among animals and plants, suggesting that they have deep evolutionary roots. Indeed, cancer is such a formidable adversary because it is a fundamental part of the story of life itself. About 600 million years ago, there appeared a riot of modern-looking metazoan (the multi-celled creatures that make up the bulk of the animal kingdom), with many specialized cell types and organisms. But this explosion did not happen in a vacuum; hundreds of millions of years before, there were precursors: clumps of semi-organized cells forming robust tumor-like forms. As Davies and Lineweaver emphasized, cancer-like Aging must be accepted as a part of life. In this monograph, the mutual interactions between cancer and the host body are studied. The point of view that these interactions are mediated by human consciousness is presented. The monograph consists of six chapters. Chapter 1, “Overview of the research,” presents the contemporary status of the relationship between cancer and consciousness. Chapter 2, “Quantum mechanics and life,” explains how quantum mechanics helps in understanding life phenomena, including cancer. Chapter 3, “Stress and cancer life,” is devoted to the presentation of the possible root of cancer, namely stress, which dominates human life. Although the term 'cancer' refers to undisciplined and uncontrollable cellular growth, a basal cell carcinoma of the skin is quite different from adenocarcinoma of the lung, the prostate, the breast, or even of brain tumors, lymphomas, leukaemias and other malignancies. These all differ markedly with respect to growth rates, metastatic tendencies, and sensitivity to neuroendocrine or immune system influences, particularly those that might be modulated by stress. There are critical concerns in determining exactly how long a cancer has been present. If a lump in the breast is found to be malignant, when did the cancer start? Was it there a month, six months, or years before clinical detection? Such information would be crucial in establishing any temporal relationship with antecedent. The remaining three chapters have a more technical character, and are devoted to the presentation of new results from the investigation of the nature of cancer. Chapter 4, “The electrical properties of cancer tumor cells,” presents results concerning the physical properties of tumor cells. Chapter 5, “Classical description of tumor life: Boltzmann equation for tumor cancer evolution,” presents the approach that treats cancer as a physical object. The new Boltzmann transport equation for tumor cell movement in the host body is formulated and solved. In this way, light is shed and inroads are made into answering the questions posed in Chapter 3 and beyond. Chapter 6, “Quantum mechanics and cancer,” presents the quantum theory of brain waves and their possible influence on cancer proliferation. Electroencephalogram (EEG) waves may reflect more than the noise of the machinery of the brain; they may possibly represent signals being sent to other parts of the body. Since it is possible to move a cursor on a computer screen solely through deep concentration, it does not seem unreasonable to postulate that mental activities could also affect activities in the body that are sensitive to the chemical/molecular concept of communication at a physical/atomic model. Such a paradigm might explain not only regression or spontaneous remission of cancer in patients with a strong level of natural determination, but also the placebo effect, faith healing, ‘therapeutic touch,’ psychokinesis, telepathy, and other widely acknowledged but poorly understood concepts. How can one explain the numerous well-documented cases of spontaneous remission of cancer? Careful studies of such patients suggest that a firm faith and a strong positive belief system are the most common themes. There are numerous reports of cancer regression through the use of various stress-reducing or mind-altering techniques, including intense meditation, visual imagery, and hypnosis. Yet, like spontaneous remission, all of these cures are extremely rare, and the benefits are entirely unpredictable in any given patient. Here again, having a strong faith in something would provide a sense of control and might offer the best explanation. But how are the salutary rewards of faith healing, ‘therapeutic touch,’ and the placebo effect mediated? Is there such a thing as psychic healing? How can one explain the well-documented benefits associated with the development of strong social support in patients with cancer and other illnesses? Conversely, what are the mechanisms involved in the numerous reports of reactivation of dormant cancer following an extremely stressful event, particularly sudden loss? No consistent immune, neuroendocrine, or central nervous system (CNS) changes have been demonstrated in connection with such effects. Could the answer lie in some latent energy force? Adey (1992) reported that certain frequency bands between 15 and 60 Hz have been found to alter cell protein synthesis, mRNA functions, immune responses, and intercellular communication. Is it possible to learn how to harness this energy force?
The Social Pathologies of Contemporary Civilization by Kieran Keohane Pdf
The Social Pathologies of Contemporary Civilization explores the nature of contemporary malaises, diseases, illnesses and psychosomatic syndromes, examining the manner in which they are related to cultural pathologies of the social body. Multi-disciplinary in approach, the book is concerned with questions of how these conditions are not only manifest at the level of individual patients' bodies, but also how the social 'bodies politic' are related to the hegemony of reductive biomedical and individual-psychologistic perspectives. Rejecting a reductive, biomedical and individualistic diagnosis of contemporary problems of health and well-being, The Social Pathologies of Contemporary Civilization contends that many such problems are to be understood in the light of radical changes in social structures and institutions, extending to deep crises in our civilization as a whole. Rather than considering such conditions in isolation - both from one another and from broader contexts - this book argues that health and well-being are not just located at the level of the individual body, the integral human person, or even collective social bodies; rather, they encompass the health of humanity as a whole and our relationship with Nature. A ground-breaking analysis of social malaise and the health of civilization, this book will be of interest to scholars of sociology, social theory, social psychology, philosophy and anthropology.
Eureka! I have found it...the "YOU" in Your Cancer by George Norrie Pdf
The trouble is as George Norrie points out, that we tell ourselves “I really should look into this. I really should try” but we don’t believe, and so we fail, and the ‘business of cancer” goes on raising funds and buying the search for the cure that is forever just around the corner, and the hospitals are still full. Think of the savings! This book instills the notion that, Yes we can! We can beat cancer, if we change our outlook on life and stop trying to find health, where it is not.
