Screening of a different kind may be the best approach if the all-aneuploidy theory is correct. There are no known means of selectively killing cells with abnormal chromosomes. But a biopsy that turns up a surfeit of aneuploid cells might warrant careful monitoring or even preventive surgery in certain cases. And Duesberg suggests that foods, drugs and chemicals should be tested to identify compounds that cause aneuploidy.

One day science will produce a definitive answer to the question of what causes cancer. It will probably be a very complicated answer, and it may force us to shift our hope from drugs that cure the disease to medicines that prevent it. Even without a clear understanding of why, doctors have discovered that a daily baby aspirin seems to prevent colon adenomas in some adults. The effect is small. But it is a step from chemotherapy toward a better alternative: chemoprevention.

   Scientific American Untangles the Roots of Cancer. Surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, hormonal therapy, biological therapy, stem cell transplant, photodynamic therapy, acupuncture, herbal therapy, aromatherapy, music therapy, massage therapy, yoga, meditation and hypnosis can’t beat cancer. Quackery refers to the promotion of methods that claim to prevent, diagnose, or cure cancer that are known to be false, or which are unproven and most likely false. Fraud goes a step beyond quackery. In this case, treatments are advertised deceptively by people whose main intent is to make MONEY. Quackery and fraud can’t beat cancer. More than one in three people will develop some form of cancer during their lifetime; cancer causes more than one in four of all deaths. Cancer is ultimately the result of cells that uncontrollably grow and do not die. Cancers are often referred to by terms that contain a prefix related to the cell type in which the cancer originated and a suffix such as -sarcoma, -carcinoma, or just -oma. Cancer is the first-born of death (Job 18:13-15). According to the Ferromagnetic Cancer Theory (Theory from The Old Testament), ancient accurate anti-iron cancer treatment methods can beat any cancer. Fruitless cancer theories and dogmas must die. Ceramic needles can suppress any tumors and large metastases. Ceramic needles can create harmless infiltrations (harmless necroses; deposits of cells that die; benign capsules). Ceramic needles can enter anti-iron solution [sulfur (2%) + olive oil (98%); 36.6C - 39.0C] to tumors and large metastases. Anti-iron slow blood loss (even 75%) [hemoglobin control], anti-iron goat’s milk diet and anti-iron drinking water containing hydrogen sulfide can neutralize any micrometastases and isolated tumor cells.
