Still More Info on Cancer

#1. Every cancer was studied, based on it's DIFFERENCES but breast cancer and any other type of cancer known to man grows through alike stages. The 1st stage of growth almost always involves an alteration of the DNA of just ONE Single Cell.

#2. Two of the known major causes of cancers are radiation and chemicals. Researchers studied the different effects these produce in various tissues without making the realization that the same mutation of otherwise normal, cellular DNA, wa s taking place in each tissue in which cancer emerges.

#3. Researchers worked many years to find, at the end of the road, that DNA is the genetic apparatus which CONTROLS the functions and activities of a normal cell. The simpler facts never surfaced however. The fact went unnoticed that all the cells in a given tissue must operate in the same manner, because they all have the same DNA. Instead, over the decades, a great many specialized fields of research came into being and these caused the general direction of cancer research to flow along ever in creasing, DIVERGENT lines. No one could see what was happening. Everyone was working their way outward, from the center of the initial findings. It took years to find that almost everything had moved OUTWARD like spokes on a gigantic wheel. Today, all of mankind's research on cancer can be compared to forever moving out to the edges, after starting at the middle of a big pizza. As the overall field of cancer research continued to grow so rapidly it quite frankly lacked any real direction.

#4. What complicated matters even more was the abundance of specialized fields of study. Cut each pizza slice into ten or a dozen pieces and you have some idea of what "the pie" represents over the years.

#5. All that led to the formation of inter-disciplinary "research teams." Grant agencies began to use funding requirements "as a means" to cause different fields of researchers to better communicate. In order to truly figure out cancer, however, some one had to learn each of the basic languages and terms of each of those different fields. It took this researcher more than a decade to develop an adeqate understanding of the scientific principles of each different field of research. All the cancer research was never logically ordered before; it took many years of study just to figure that out. Many more years went into a very extensive survey of the many aspects of fields of canncer research. In the final analysis, I did manage to solve the overall puzzle by way of constructing a CONVERGENT OVERVIEW of the whole field of research. Each of the many fields of specialized research was, and yet is, based on its own highly independent system of logic. There is not need to look any further as to why the research community has been left in such a very unproductive mode. Everyone has been attempting to fit together all the pieces of the gigantic jig-saw puzzle of cancer, in effect, while taking the puzzle pieces out of a great many different puzzle boxes!

#7. Today, if one is yet unaware of the facts shown at right, every doctor has emerged with his or her own idea on what is or is not important in regard to cancers. Most KNOW that DNA works even when it is taken out of the cell of one species and put inside another but no one had ever recognized the overwhelming importance of how DNA can cause cancers. OBVIOUSLY, what happens to the cells in a plant, as seen here, IS THE SAME THING WHICH HAPPENS TO THE CELLS OF A HUMAN. And in that the transfer of bacteria DNA is what causes cancers to emerge in a plant such as the apple tree at right AND THIS HAS BEEN PROVEN then it is obviously that the exact same thing actually produces cancer in both men and animals.

#8. In the early 1900's researchers tried to see if the same bacteria which causes plant cancers could also cause cancers in man or in other animals. The idea that an alike class or type of bacteria could causes the same TYPE of transform.
