Agent Orange exposure could be the cause of BC. VA docs are looking at this.

It could be contributory for some people but what about those that have never been exposed? A major contributory factor is smoking but there are still those that have BC whom have never smoked. The search for cancer causing continues and I hope a reason for it is found too.

Several reasons, can be smoking but not always the case. At this point in our history we are exposed to many toxins. In the foods, in the environment, in the products we use and malnutrition at the cellular level. Are we really eating as we should? Probably not. A full stomach does not mean well. Is our diet covering all the nutrients our body truly needs for the environment we live in these days? What about heridary factors? Are we abusing our bodies without thinking about it or what the consequences are? Even after being diagnosed and found free of cancer, do we go back to what we did and think we are permanently fixed?

It is not an easy journey and we really need to stop and think and educate ourselves instead of getting into the victim mentality. We have to try and be warriors to win the battle on many levels to the best of our abilities and not always expecting a fix from a doctor or people saying, Sorry to hear, God bless you, I will pray for you. Which is all well and good but aways seem to be on the down play. We have to shift into the positive. Dont view it as a cloud over head, but a shadow.

Enough of me now.

I gather from what I've read that lack of energy and O2 (oxygen) in the cells may be contributing to non apoptosis of malfunctioning cells as well as a build up of toxins (cellular debris, heavy metals, etc) that are not being eliminated out of the body. Glycolysis may also fuel cancer cell growth as they thrive on glucose and in an anerobic environment. There is also possibly an emotional trigger involved and maybe determining where it starts.

Highly possible. Cancer can be random. Malnutrition st a cellular level is also a cause even when we think we are eating well, but it is what we are eating.
