The Truth About Cancer<br />
Ty: Talk <strong>about</strong> <strong>the</strong> effect on <strong>the</strong> immune system of <strong>the</strong><br />
environmental toxicities because a recurring <strong>the</strong>me that I’m<br />
hearing from doctors that I’ve interviewed is <strong>cancer</strong> can’t exist if<br />
<strong>the</strong> immune system is functioning properly. So talk <strong>about</strong> that.<br />
Dr. Robert Scott Bell: Yeah. Well, <strong>the</strong> toxins impact <strong>the</strong> liver, <strong>the</strong> liver<br />
is your main organ for detoxification to bind and eliminate and excrete<br />
through <strong>the</strong> colon as solid waste or ascending to <strong>the</strong> kidneys as a liquid<br />
waste. If <strong>the</strong> liver’s not doing its job, of course, what gets to <strong>the</strong> kidneys<br />
is often a form that <strong>the</strong> kidneys can’t handle very well and <strong>the</strong>n <strong>the</strong><br />
toxins <strong>the</strong>n circulate through <strong>the</strong> system. The body tries to find a way to<br />
tuck it away somewhere else. Now a big way that we interact with <strong>the</strong>se<br />
toxins is through <strong>the</strong> gastrointestinal tract, <strong>the</strong> alimentary canal. And<br />
<strong>the</strong>se toxins are going to impact on <strong>the</strong> micro flora.<br />
The micro flora is <strong>the</strong> seat of <strong>the</strong> immune system along with <strong>the</strong> liver but<br />
in <strong>the</strong> intestines are 70 or so percent of <strong>the</strong> immune system is <strong>the</strong>re.<br />
And when we impact our healthy flora, <strong>the</strong> good gut ecology we impact<br />
negatively our ability to have a normal interaction with <strong>the</strong> outside world<br />
because technically that gastrointestinal tract, that alimentary canal from<br />
your mouth, and we get astrological--I love to do this--out through <strong>the</strong><br />
planet Uranus—you get it—you have this tube that’s technically outside<br />
of your body even though it’s in. It’s <strong>the</strong> outside environment carried<br />
through and <strong>the</strong>re’s that barrier, that epi<strong>the</strong>lial barrier that is your—that<br />
epi<strong>the</strong>lial integrity is critical to protect you from things that shouldn’t get<br />
in including <strong>the</strong>se toxic poisons or even metabolic waste.<br />
And when that barrier is corrupted via toxins, additives, preservatives,<br />
colorings, flavorings, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, plastifiers,<br />
GMOs, genetically modified ingredients now, and heavy metals<br />
especially like mercury, you pierce that barrier. You impact, you create<br />
inflammation and how you have leaky gut. And <strong>the</strong> bacteria <strong>the</strong>mselves<br />
are no longer in a hospitable environment so you dysbiotic organisms<br />
growing, you have candida, yeast, albicans, over growth, and different<br />
forms of candida. And <strong>the</strong>re’s so many things that go wrong it’s amazing<br />
that we survive it all but that’s a testament to <strong>the</strong> creator that we’ve been<br />
created to withstand so much assault.<br />
But we have a limit and that limit, of course, is when <strong>the</strong> toxins<br />
overwhelm our ability to deal with <strong>the</strong>m, <strong>the</strong> accumulation can no longer<br />
be held in check. Then we have that disregulation and <strong>the</strong>se cells<br />
proliferate and our immune no longer has <strong>the</strong> strength and integrity to<br />
be that barrier, to fight it off, to keep it in check because of all <strong>the</strong>se<br />
o<strong>the</strong>r things that occurred—<strong>the</strong> liver toxins, <strong>the</strong> intestinal toxins, etc. So<br />
this is where <strong>the</strong> immune system is corrupted, <strong>the</strong> gut primarily along<br />
with <strong>the</strong> liver and that’s why I always start my focal point of healing for<br />
