Cancer is a Systemic Disease
By James Occhiogrosso, N.D., Feb. 8, 2009
Many people believe that once a cancer is
surgically removed, one is cancer-free. This is
rarely the case. Many tumors may be growing in
multiple locations in the body undetected.
Cancer is a systemic disease, and the most
effective way to treat it is to address both the
overall health of the body as well as any local
tumor.
Cancer Spreads Through Body Long Before Tumor
Develops
Natural News, Feb. 03, 2009, by David Gutierrez
Seemingly healthy cells may spread to distant
parts of the body long before any cancerous
tumors are visible, researchers have discovered.
This suggests that the virulence of a specific
case of cancer might actually be determined
early in the disease, perhaps even before
diagnosis.

Surgery: A Personal Perspective
Cancer Research, Dec. 15, 2008, by Bernard
Fisher
For many years, malignant tumors were removed by
surgery with the belief that cancer was a local
condition. The bloodstream was considered to be
of little significance to the spread of tumor
cells before or during surgery. More and more
clinical trials support the thesis that cancer
is a systemic disease.

After many years of telling people that surgery,
radiation and chemotherapy are the only ways to
try and eliminate cancer, John’s Hopkins is
finally starting to recognize there are
alternatives.
