History Of Cancer From An Oncologist #2 "A Suppuration of Blood": My Thoughts

Me IRL

Disclaimer: I love researching and writing about fitness content. In addition to this and due to some situations in my life, I also like to go down alternative medicine rabbit holes some of which have benefited my own life. I’m not a medical professional…and I spend some days scheming in the dark like in the picture above. So if you’re here for fitness posts and are not fond of alternative medicine theories then feel free to ignore posts of this nature. Now on with the show.

Physicians of the utmost fame

were called at once; but when they came

they answered, as they took their fees,

“There is no cure for this disease.”

- Hilaire Belloc

I’m barely 10% into this book and the fear dosage is already too much.

“Cancer Fear Porn.”

That’s how I’d describe this book as this author(Sid) is precise in his language to have you on the edge of your seat and stirring your emotions. If someone like me who doesn’t buy the established narrative of cancer can be partially effected by this stuff, what reaction will this facilitate in someone who does?

Turning the map around I could easily see why our media/news overloads would allow such a book to gain so much traction. It perpetuates the established narrative and it perpetuates money flowing into an industry that in the US has a revenue of 114 billion and is projected to rise to almost 300 billion by 2030.¹ Forget the phrase, “Mo Money Mo Problems,” with Big Pharma is “Mo Problems Mo Money.” As a reference, the cancer industry alone is about a third of the whole US Military Industrial Complex.

Hilaire Belloc

But that quote above, “There is no cure for this disease” was written by a Western European polymath and former member of the British parliament around the 20th century. Belloc was an acquaintance of G.K. Chesterton as well as threw shade at HG Wells's writings which is a plus in my book as HG Wells was a huge one-world-government fanboy…

MFW watching “Things To Come.”

Like most at the time, Belloc was probably aware of only a few narratives on cancer, all from the same starting point. Darwinian evolution was big around this time although there were folks like Belloc fighting against it and it was one of the things he was throwing criticism at HG Wells for.

Survival of the fittest/natural selection; those best adapted will live and produce offspring in an almost never-ending cycle until perfection or close to it. The question is, where is 20th-century humanity on this timeline?

• If we’re nowhere near the end then that means our bodies aren’t well adapted yet.

• Therefore, everything that occurs within them is still flawed/imperfect.

This was likely be the starting point for many scientists around this time looking at the human body…especially when it comes to cancer.
