The Truth About Cancer<br />

If you look at every simple—I’m using <strong>the</strong> word simple ra<strong>the</strong>r than<br />

primitive or aboriginal society, <strong>cancer</strong> is unknown. Now <strong>the</strong>re was a<br />

famous Harvard research called William Stephanson. I’m not sure how<br />

to pronounce his name. it’s obviously a Norwegian or Swedish name.<br />

But I think my best shot is William Stephanson. And he lived with<br />

Eskimos for <strong>about</strong> 30 years. I shouldn’t say Eskimos, Inuit, but you know<br />

what I mean. He live with <strong>the</strong>m and he ate <strong>the</strong>ir food and lived <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

lifestyle. And at first he couldn’t tolerate <strong>the</strong> diet. It was <strong>about</strong> 50 percent<br />

fat. It was just slopping with grease in <strong>the</strong> dish.<br />

And so he said, no, I can’t take it. I’ll eat more <strong>the</strong> Western way. And<br />

within a few weeks he was pretty sick. And he had to eat <strong>the</strong>ir way. As<br />

soon as he did his body recovered enormously. And he was really fit<br />

and well. He was out on <strong>the</strong> ice. He could walk 50 miles in a day. He<br />

was really a fit man for his age, and brought back a very interesting<br />

story and wrote a book. But basically in all his time in that territory he<br />

never saw a case of <strong>cancer</strong>. And it’s pretty well unknown among <strong>the</strong><br />

Inuit. it’s only when <strong>the</strong>y came into <strong>the</strong> bases and started eating <strong>the</strong><br />

burgers and <strong>the</strong> colas that <strong>the</strong>y started to get diabetes and heart<br />

disease, <strong>cancer</strong> <strong>the</strong> same as <strong>the</strong> rest of us. And that’s a picture that<br />

repeats itself all over <strong>the</strong> world.<br />

Do you know Albert Schweitzer, <strong>the</strong> famous humanitarian. He went to<br />

work in <strong>the</strong> Gabon in Africa And he said he’s never saw a case of<br />

<strong>cancer</strong> in any one that was living <strong>the</strong> natural lifestyle. He directly<br />

attributed it to food. He was pretty sure that was <strong>the</strong> reason. They just<br />

eat differently. And you know, you’ve got your—its tempting to think,<br />

well, it’s genetic, <strong>the</strong> Inuits are just strong against <strong>cancer</strong>. And <strong>the</strong>y do a<br />

lot of selenium from <strong>the</strong> seafood. We know that’s protective.<br />

But <strong>the</strong> real killer in <strong>the</strong> story Ty is if <strong>the</strong>y go and move into a different<br />

environment and eat somebody else’s diet <strong>the</strong>y get sick as dogs just <strong>the</strong><br />

same as <strong>the</strong> rest of us. So it’s not really a genetic factor. But you know<br />

that’s pretty stark epidemiological evidence. You almost don’t need any<br />

o<strong>the</strong>r cause of <strong>cancer</strong> if you know that people living <strong>the</strong> natural lifestyle<br />

in <strong>the</strong> stone age or aboriginal way like a hunter ga<strong>the</strong>rer and keeping<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir lifestyle pure never gets <strong>cancer</strong>.<br />

Dr. Charles Majors: Every <strong>cancer</strong> has a cause. They’re not all <strong>the</strong><br />

same. So you’re right. They’re not all <strong>the</strong> same. Where if someone has<br />

a breast <strong>cancer</strong> that’s hormonal, well, <strong>the</strong>y have a hormonal imbalance,<br />

right. Their liver wasn’t able to methylate as well. They weren’t able to<br />
