Joelle, please go to www.knowthecause.com it explains that most (probably all) cancers are fungus. Cancers go away when the person is treated as if they have a fungal disease. First line of defense: Cancer needs sugar to live, so does fungus, so remove sugar and things that the body can turn into sugar. Starve cancer and it dies. Remove all peanuts, corn and grain from the diet as these are sugar that feeds the cancer/fungal cells. Vegetables contain plenty of carbohydrates, we don't "need" grain or potatos or rice, cancer and fungus do. Search out a Doctor that has an understanding of Mycology (the study of fungus), they are few at this time but the website mentioned has references to some Doctors that understand "the Fungal link to disease". Learn about "probiotics" for the digestive tract, 70-80% of our immunity lies in the health of our digestive tract. Fungus has the ability to enter a human cell and break the DNA and replace it's own DNA in the break, you would then have a Human/fungal mutation, or a cancerous cell. I suspect the fungal/human mutated cells can be inherited, I was born with Fibrocystic tumors of the breast, the same condition my mother had throughout her life. After being on the anti-fungal diet prescribed at the afore mentioned website for 3 months, all breast tumors are gone, at 51 years of age. Toxins, antibiotics, processed food diets and numerous other factors can depress our immunity and defenses that would normally destroy the deviant cells. I hope you read this in time. God's healing Blessings to you and your family.
