Prostate cancer: dying ‘with’ and not ‘of’ cancer?

On the matter of ‘dying with cancer and not of it’, the following excerpt is taken from a book by Linus Pauling and Dr Ewan Cameron entitled Cancer and Vitamin C. Linus Pauling PhD is considered the father of Vitamin C research and Ewan Cameron is an oncologist with some thirty years experience in treating cancer patients conventionally.

"In many European hospitals, meticulous autopsies are performed, without regard to cause of death and these autopsies reveal a remarkably high incidence of cancers that were never suspected in life. Autopsy cancer of the prostate increases steadily with increasing age until after aged 75 it is found in every second male, yet only 2% of males die of prostate cancer." [1]

The authors also noted that in those autopsies, cancer of the thyroid and pancreas is thirty to forty times as common than is presented in doctors’ surgeries. People were living with these cancers and during their lifetime, were not in the least troubled by them. Pauling and Cameron go on to state:

“Cancer is therefore far more common than we usually realise and is not such a vicious disease as is commonly thought, except when it gets out of control. The great majority of cancers are held in check by the body; they grow for a while, then regress and disappear, and it is only an occasional one that escapes from control and forms a progressive cancer.” [2]

Part two of Great News On Cancer looks at the vital role of the immune system in the fight against cancers that escape from natural control, how cell degeneration can occur and the tremendous news on how cell REGENERATION can occur by natural means.
