What Can One Do to Reduce the Chances of Getting Cancer (2)

In this segment, we are going to briefly describe several principles that could reduce the chances of getting cancer; they are all related to two objectives: (1) avoid/lower the risk factor of getting cancer, and (2) strengthen the immune system.  The very basic principle to achieve both objectives is to live according to the rules of nature.

Human beings are amazing organisms created by Mother Nature.  Therefore, it makes a lot of sense for us to follow nature’s rules.  In a normal human body, different types of cells in different tissues live, function, and die as they are supposed to.  This is similar to a situation wherein ordinary people live in a normal community; in the community, everyone lives, works to contribute to the society, gets married, produces the next generation, and dies.  This general process was outlined in our unique human life cycle scheme in my book, IS CANCER IN US.  

However, there are a number of specific subjects that need to be further described in order to have a better understanding about reducing the chances of getting cancer.  They will be briefly described shortly.

What Can One Do to Reduce the Chances of Getting Cancer (1)

As mentioned in previous sections, there are three general strategies to deal with cancer: active prevention, early detection, and effective treatment.  Prevention is the area where we can do most and practice almost all the time. 

In terms of cancer prevention, in one’s everyday life, people need to take a good care of themselves with at least two goals in mind:

One should try to avoid and/or lower the risk factors of cancer to minimize the chances for normal cells or stem cells to become cancer cells;

One should strengthen the immune system.  One should maintain a healthy immune system so that, if and when any cell begins to become cancerous, the body’s immune system has a better chance to fight against the early-stage transition of normal cells to abnormal cells.
