Guy's Books and Thoughts

I saw a video by Mike Anderson about cancer. I am not sure if I agree with everything in the DVD, but I think he does give one food for thought.

The video is divided into two parts. The first part talks about vested interests in the cancer industry. Mr. Anderson claims that the conventional cancer treatments such as radiation, chemotherapy and surgery do not really work well and that the "cancer industry" is against finding a cheap cure. According to him the government agencies regulating medical care are controlled by the very industries, they are supposed to regulate. Free market advocate Thomas Sowell makes the same point about regulators ending up being controlled by the industries they are supposed to regulate in his book BASIC ECONOMICS. I don't think more government will solve this problem .What happens with regulating bodies, is that certain vested interests can use the regulating body to stamp out rivals. And this is what Mike Anderson claims. For some reason, this video makes me think of the opposition that opponents of evolution face. Sure, evolutionists like to portray themselves as altruistic, dispassionate seekers of truth. But that is more a case of self congratulatory rhetoric than reality as demonstrated in the Ben Stein movie EXPELLED. The fact of the matter is that people have a tendency to abuse their power. It is interesting when opinions coincide. Mike Anderson really blasts Morris Fishbein, who was president of the AMA. I talked to the son of a female medical doctor, who practiced medicine around the 1900's. His mother did not like Mr. Fishbein.

The talk about the decreasing ineffectiveness of chemotherapy ties in with natural selection. Some cancer cells are already resistant to chemo, so all chemo does is kill of the vulnerable cells and leave the resistant cells remaining. So the cancer comes back with a vengeance. Note the cancers cells do not evolve to become resistant. They already are resistant. What the chemo does is wipe out the competing cancer cells and leave the resistant cells standing.

The second part of the video spent a good deal of time on nutrition. The video made the point that while pollution can play a factor, diet is a more important factor. Okinawans apparently have a low cancer rate in spite of the industrial pollution. The dietary recommendations were interesting. According to the people interviewed plant protein is better for the health than animal protein. This makes me think of the Garden of Eden. In the beginning we were vegetarians. But after the fall and the flood, animal flesh became an acceptable source of food. We now live in an imperfect world, so vegetarianism may not be a viable option for many people. I am also reminded of the denunciation of "gluttonous eaters of meat" mentioned in one of the books of the Bible. So the Bible allows for meat eating, but not to excess.

I note while the speaker in the film would not personally take the conventional approach to treating cancer, he does not order to people to solely follow the Alternative approach. He suggests that one can follow sound nutritional practices and undergo conventional treatment.
