FACT: New research reveals that the tumor has a purpose. Andreas Moritz, in Cancer is NOT a disease – It’s a survival mechanism, explains that cancer is a response to internal toxicity. Cancer is how the body tries to keep us alive when we are in danger of imminent death from poison; cancer cells feed off our toxic buildup. Only by addressing the cause of the tumor can we have a real cure. The tumor is so important to the body that it is supplied with special blood vessels. Why would the body try to destroy itself? It makes more sense that the tumor is serving a purpose.arrow_forward"Cancer therapies directed solely at killing the rapidly dividing cells that make up the bulk of a tumor are unlikely to eliminate the cancer from many patients" is true or false.arrow_forward
