Disease is BIG business, but in India at least they have a culture of research and commitment to humanity.
Watched some medical documentary by aljazeera and it was an eye opener,the main doctor even said they were denied permission to attend to Kenyan patients in Kenya to cut costs!
@Rankaz can recall the Documentary.
Whats evil than that?

I know cancer has been discussed here in many threads actually close to 10, but having read Ndemo's article last week got me thinking at how exposed we are.

Ndemo's article:You know what is killing us? Pollution, and a lack of curiosity

Here is his 2014 article

I doubt that there's a family in this country that has escaped the scourge. KTN aired a documentary a while ago and linked the cancer menance in Marsabit to the oil exploration in the Chalbi desert. How does it spread...water that they collect in boreholes dust, that they breath in etc.

Then Citizen highlighted the menace in Meru and linked it to something being ingested...they tried to hint on Miraa, but from the data, those affected are not limited to Igembe so most probably, "My guess" is its the water.. 15% of those seeking cancer treatment in Kenya are from Meru. The highest number of cancer patients come from Nairobi, followed by Nyeri then Uasin Gishu and fourth being Meru. Apart from Nrb, the other counties are highly agricultural and and the use of fertilizer/pesticides can not be ruled out.

Apparently the GOK hasnt stated investigating on the issue yet...reason...they are still mapping the cancer cases in Kenya....(very stupid reasoning given that every hosp in Kenya should have a record of their patient)

There's a reason why Europe doenst want us to sell to them the fruits/veges/food that we've grown spraying pesticides.

By the end of this year, cancer deaths will surpass those of Malaria, HIV and TB. If that is not an epidemic, I dont know what is.

KTN:

Live life and take the necessary precautions and leave the rest to God(For those who believe in God) or nothing(For those who do not believe in God)

Endelea na kucheza puzzle.

OF DIAGNOSIS.... While i think some lifestyles of urban dwellers expose us to some trouble - the other reason we don't get many villagers complaining is because villagers don't know what hit them! they could even misattribute it to such things as witchcraft. My uncle (with a village) mindset was diagnosed with cancer when it was already stage 4... coz ya kufikiria ni vitu zingine.
