WHAT IS CANCER, AND WHY DOES IT EVENTUALLY KILL?

WHAT IS CANCER, AND WHY DOES IT EVENTUALLY KILL?

WHAT IS CANCER, AND WHY DOES IT EVENTUALLY KILL?

Cancer is a “selfish,” invasive type of tissue that develops within an organ of the body. It breaks the natural boundaries of the mother organ, and eventually spreads rapidly, disproportionately, and invasively, resulting in fatal disruption of normal body functions, to the point of exhaustion and death.

What is the difference between cancer cells and other ordinary healthy cells in the same organ?

The natural characteristics of cancer cells.
1- Primitive & Genetically Selfish.
2- Anaerobic – Low Oxygen Needs.
3. Reveal Stem Cell Characteristics in some Cell Culture Media.

As the cells in the body mature, they develop sophisticated communication skills. They develop all kinds of receivers and sensors on their membranes. These sensors are needed to coordinate the cell’s activity with the rest of the body. They integrate the cell and its specialized activity into the larger scheme of body physiology. One class of sensors on the cell membrane controls the boundaries up to which the cell will grow and not beyond. These sensors feel the presence of the other cells in their proximity. They maintain a safe distance from neighboring cells via the messaging system between the membrane receptors and the DNA mechanisms of the cell that control its growth and reproduction.

In this mode of their “socially sophisticated” life, the cells of the body are normally respectful of the other cells and are not “selfish.”  They do not encroach on the rights of the other cells in their vicinity. Cancer cells have lost these social skills, however. Such cells grow into a mass that breaks boundaries and encroaches on the space normally allocated to neighboring tissues. The process in which the efficiency of these sensors is reduced and eventually lost, to the point of forming cancerous growths, is called receptor down-regulation.

I will later explain why this kind of receptor loss from the cell membrane is another complication of unintentional dehydration.
