cosmos. As mentioned, humans continue to be ignorant about themselves. And, in the Antiquity, what the Aphorism of Socrates the Greek philosopher wrote in the Temple of Delphi: “Man know thyself,”  is still a reality.

 

What is important to learn is how to carefully listen to your body when it is suffering from a pain, that this is a signal or response by the body to tell you that something is wrong. Usually people prefer to take a pain killer and repress the symptom.

Consequently, over the years this may disturb several functions resulting from intoxication by drugs where such problems may turn into a chronic or degenerative disease, including cancer.

 

Another example is taking antibiotics all year round which disturb the microbiome, the immune system, and even the mitochondria.  In turn, this leaves the body with much less defense to disease. This shows how people are dependent on medicine for a quick remedy to resolve the problem. As a result, we live in a sick society.  Remember, each one of us is a cause and consequence in our modern society.

However, Oncology has more recently proclaimed that the cure of cancer is within us, the cure of cancer is within YOU.  The breakthrough is through the immune defense. In fact, this is what Naturopathic medicine has been teaching for over a century; what I have personally been doing for at least 40 years. We are supposed to have a perfect body with various defense mechanisms that supposedly keep us away from disease, but it appears that we are doing something wrong with our lifestyle and diet. As a result, this opens the door to disease, including cancer.
