In 2005 the American Cancer statistics revealed that 1:2 Males and 1:3 Females will develop Cancer within their life time. By definition, cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells. Every cell in the body has the capacity to become a cancer cell under the “right conditions.” In essence, the shift that occurs when a “Normal / Healthy cell” turns into a “Cancer Cell” is a primitive survival response by the cell. As part of this process it loses contact inhibition which stops normal cells from growing when they become crowded and touch adjoining cells. The loss of contact inhibition leads the cells to grow larger than normal thereby requiring more nutrients and blood supply than other normal cells.
