Cancer is a creepy and mysterious thing. While we tried to understand it, to get better at killing it, we discovered a biological paradox that remains unsolved to this day: large animals seem to be immune to cancer. Which doesn’t make any sense - the bigger a being, the more cancer it should have. To understand why, we first need to take a look at the nature of cancer itself.

I’m curious for how long through their lives blue whales, elephants and other very large animals continue to make babies. One reason we humans still have as much cancer as we do, is that evolution doesn’t have much incentive to prevent us developing it AFTER we have reproduced. Hence why we have kids at 20-30 and for the most part start getting cancer in middle to old age. If whales and things keep having kids the whole time, it could explain why they have more tumour suppressor genes - there would be more evolutionary impetus for that.

Supposing hypertumors exist. Couldn’t we just use them to treat cancer in humans? Since it wouldn’t fully delete cancer it can just create a cycle of the cancer killing itself until it can be better treated?

Do we have any ideas on how to detect or isolate hypertumor cells to try and replicate an artifical one and see if it can be introduced to the infected cell group to kick-start a breakdown ?

And if you want to reduce the rate of how you get cancer? Don't look at food like a nice taste and a full stomach. Look at it as nutrients. CHiki NUGies? No nutrients. Hard to digest? Not alot of nutrients quick enough. Fruit? Eat a couple apples and u got some nutrients boi. Nutrients gonna be making sure your cells keep reproducing and u be helty boi. And this means your immune system can be helty boi cuz de nutritions. If you have nice helty immune system. Well. They have more chance to EAT dems cancer cells.

Would you please make an honest review of this series? I would be so happy 😁

HOW I GOT CURED FROM PANCREATIC CANCER Sudden severe pain in left side and unusual excessive belching were the only symptoms of my pancreatic cancer. No nausea or any food related symptoms. CT scan did not show anything but very mild diverticulitis. After two weeks of antibiotics it seemed to subside. A year later when the excessive belching and pain in side reappeared, another CT scan revealed 3 cm mass on pancreas. It was a very painful experience for me, Spent a lot of money on drugs did 7 rounds of chemo and radiation and still yet no results it was a near death experience for me i was having headache ,backache,tiredness,pians in almost all part of my body i was nearly on the verge of loosing my life before i found about Dr Harvey on YouTube on how he cured people from pancreatic cancer and other deadly diseases so with believe and faith i collected his contact information contacted him and told him about my pancreatic story and he told me to have faith and believe in him which i did, He prepared an herbal supplements for me and his natural propolis lecithin capsules and shipped it over to me alongside with the prescription on how to use the products to my greatest shock and joy after making use of this products for 3O days i went back to carry out my tests and i was totally cured from pancreatic cancer and no pains or any symptoms was in my body Dr Harvey i'm grateful sir for saving my life and family i love you anybody having this disease or anyone he/she knows conntact Dr Harvey today..

It is also possible that natural selection resulted in Whales dying from cancer, so those with stronger immune systems are more likely to survive. The whale needs to be big, so it needs to develop a better immune system.
