If cancer would have been caused by some virus or bacteria, then maybe your argument would hold water. But chemicals such as benzene are a creation of man. So it is indeed true that ww are a man eating society

Past the age of 35 -40???.
Be careful on what you wish for other..it might just happen to you. and we will blame the nature.

It is true humans are living longer than before, but there is also an emergence of pathogens brought about by climate change that are emerging. That might just alter everything

I have listened to the cancer debate which has been on since the news of the passing of Joyce. All I am hearing is, let's get more testing centre's, zero rate cancer drugs and such. Nobody seems keen on finding where we are getting cancer from. Shouldn't this be the center of the debate?

If you have cancer it will kill you.

The only useful doctor is the one who tells you that that is what you have. After that do not listen to him about what he can do about it because that is when he will start lying.

Go home get your affairs in order and prepare to go. It is actually that simple.

Kenya does not have a cancer problem. Kenya has a problem of people NOT accepting that life has an end. Death is not an aberration, death is normal. We will all die. Some sooner than others. Cancer is just one one way of dying.

The population of the country is growing which means there are more people being born than there are those who are dying. Resources of the country should be directed to the young and growing and not to the old and dying.

I have heard counties talk about investing in cancer treatment. I think this is a big mistake. I would rather they put the money in things like provision of clean water and education and roads than in cancer treatment. Even in the hospitals I would prioritize things like maternity care, children care and things like surgical services to take care of nduthi accident patients with broken bones because those have a high likelihood of getting better.

Even in homes, if you are faced with the choice between taking your child to school or paying for cancer treatment for your parent, put your child first. It is the right thing to do.

Kenya is a backward looking country. People love their mothers more than they love their spouses and children. Just think about it in the most extreme forms and you will see we got our thinking warped. Even at their most stressful moments many people would not dare utter an insult or stand up against their parents but they have no problem hurling insults at their children yet when you think about it where does the insult do more damage?

The dilemma with cancer is in my opinion precisely because of this elder worship, backward looking mentality. The clip shown about the cancer problem in Meru had a scene of a grave of someone born in 1928 and he died of cancer in 2015. He died of cancer at the age of 87 and he is part of the statistics of the cancer problem!!! Even Christians do not take seriously the command "a man shall shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife." The wife and children are more important to a man than his parents. Cancer is breaking down families because of children who feel they owe their parents everything to the detriment of their own spouses and children.

I like the way you think and your contributions sana sana on this thread about cancer. An old adage goes...prevention is better than cure. It is as simple as that. However, nobody wants to look simple in these braggadocious times we are living in.

I have also listened to the winding debate and grandiose plans to set up cancer centers all over Kenya and noted that no one is telling wananchi to go slow on pombe na sigara and eat more mangoes,oranges,njugu karanga and avocadoes that are in abudance in Kenya.

Further, nobody is telling Kenyans that chemotherapy kills faster than the cancer itself. You are better off fasting for 21 days and drinking water only rather than paying millions for chemo.You have better quality of life when on a ketogenic diet other than chemo.

2.5 Years on... My grand dad never made it. My dad is alive and kicking after the bone marrow transplant and chemo 5 years after first diagnosis. Such a horrible experience but grateful to God.

Keto diet plan

Today we are burying a neighbour in shags who died of stomach ca. This is someone who ate and drank from her Farm.Nothing processed.
Just seen Esther wahome's loving tribute to her dad.He succumbed to it on saturday.
I think someone is slowly killing us.It's no longer a city or lifestyle disease.It's deliberate.

Steve Jobs Extreme Diet

From an early age, Jobs would only eat fruits and vegetables, and fasted for several days at a time.
When Jobs discovered he had pancreatic cancer, he went against doctors' wishes and tried healing himself by pursuing an extreme vegetarian diet.

From an early age, Jobs would only eat fruits and vegetables, and fasted for several days at a time.
When Jobs discovered he had pancreatic cancer, he went against doctors' wishes and tried healing himself by pursuing an extreme vegetarian diet.

After reading Lapp's book, which endorsed vegetarianism, Jobs said he would go on extreme diets, including purges and fasts, and would eat just one or two foods for weeks, like apples or carrots.During his freshman year, Steve would live off Roman Meal cereal. He would also buy dates, almonds, and lots of carrots. He bought himself a Champion juicer to make carrot juice and carrot salad.Jobs later read a book called Mucusless Diet Healing System, by Arnold Ehret, which led to an even stricter diet. In addition to traditional meats and proteins, Jobs also gave up bread, grains, and milk.
Jobs got into fasting around this time, where he would not eat for two straight days sometimes up to a week. He would break the fast with simple leafy vegetables and water
Jobs would occasionally binge at the All One Farm commune, where he spent his weekends. Monks from the Hare Krishna temple would come to visit, and make vegetarian feasts with cumin, coriander, and turmeric. Jobs would go to town on these meals.Jobs would occasionally binge at the All One Farm commune, where he spent his weekends.

In 2003, after doctors performed a routine CAT scan of his kidneys, Jobs learned he had a rare form of pancreatic cancer. But instead of opting for surgery, which is what doctors recommended (they were overjoyed that they caught the cancer so early), Jobs instead tried to heal himself by becoming a strict vegan, eating large amounts of fruit juices and carrots.In 2008, when Jobs underwent surgery to remove part of his pancreas, Powell started incorporating fish and other proteins into their meals. But his health was poor and he was losing a ton of weight. He would still ask his personal chef Bryar Brown for a carrot salad, or lemongrass soup, or a simple pasta with basil.

By July 2011, Jobs was eating almost no solid foods at all. By then, his cancer had spread to his bones and other parts of his body. Steve Jobs died on October 5, 2011, surrounded by family.

That's more like it.
