AVOID CANCER.

Given these numbers, you don’t need to be an epidemiologist to extrapolate that avoidance of known cancerous risk factors has a strongly preventative effect. Most folks can’t be blamed for not knowing how to avoid these risks. However, if you’re reading this and don’t go on to spread preventive education among your loved ones – especially those who may be older than you – then there is indeed an element of fault. At the very least you should attempt to convince them of the power of prevention.

Although we cannot tell for sure right now whether any given person will develop a malignant (potentially invasive – able to spread around the body from its site of origin) tumor during his or her lifetime, we have amassed a ton of evidence over the decades showing that certain lifestyle decisions and behaviors are strongly correlated with developing them. Of these, you can probably already identify tobacco-smoking, alcohol-drinking, and morbid obesity as known causes of cancer. Avoiding alcohol/tobacco in conjunction with balanced dieting and regular exercise already represents most of what you can do to avoid the common cancers that plague humanity.

I wrote this article to tell you about other measures to take to maximize your chances of avoiding cancer. This is because there are other strong correlations between cancer and risk factors involving choices that you make every day, all the time. Those are less well known, but fortunately for you, Saigal Clinic is here to deliver a brief, high-powered educational session in cancer avoidance starting right now:

Cancer is a genetic disease, which means that it’s caused by damage to your genes. To attempt to avoid cancer means to identify known risk factors causing genetic damage, because this damage is what will lead to the cellular, tissue, and organ-level changes in the body that constitute a malignant tumor (i.e. cancer). Once you identify them, avoid them and pursue healthy behaviors instead. Our YouTube video Prevent Cancer! lists sunlight/radiation exposure and specific viral illnesses (e.g. HIV, HPV, etc.) with known associations to different cancers. Protection from UV, Xray, and Gamma radiation along with regular hygienic habits can help you avoid these.

Here is a nice list from the American Cancer Society that you can cross-reference anytime with both known and probable human carcinogens (cancer-causing agents) written:

On the bright side, we live at a time in which most of these tumors are either benign (not that harmful) or easily detectable. Finding early cancer forming in your body usually means that you are able to intercept the disease in an otherwise healthy person. If you are unable to prevent it arising in your body simply by trying your best to be healthy, you can still participate in routine medical screening to make sure that if you do have cancer, it is caught early, treated early, and therefore meaningless to you. We as medical professionals strive for the day when a diagnosis of cancer really isn’t that big of a deal and can be managed chronically. It will be really cool when we can just zap it away with an injection or beam.

Power yourself with fruits, vegetables, lean protein sources, aerobic exercise, and plenty of water. The nutrients and physiologic changes associated with the above measures are strongly preventive of cancer and metabolic disease in general (e.g. high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes). Practice good hygiene, avoid prolonged sunlight & excessive CT scans, hang out with plenty of people who care about you, and don’t forget to laugh and sleep a lot. Unless you have other medical conditions or make extremely unhealthy decisions with regularity, you can use this article as a general outline of how to best max out your odds of avoiding cancer. Best of luck to you and if anything feels off, visit your doctor!

Although genes and gravity exert a certain ubiquity & finality, likewise does the power of scientific inquiry reveal clinical guidelines to us. We now know that if you do your best to stay healthy and are not taking constant oxidative damage to your body’s DNA, you may live for many, many years! Trends in human lifespan prior to the COVID19 pandemic indicated a steady increase in the number of years we all get to spend cherishing planet Earth [American Women are estimated on average to reach the age of 80 while American Men should on average reach the age of 73]. As further evidence emerges of oncogenic molecular pathways and knowledge of deterring harmful cellular proliferative changes increases, you can trust that Saigal Clinic, LLC will bring it to you.
