Cancer and the Boiled Frog Conspiracy

It is a great mistake of modern life to wait for pharmaceutical companies to find and patent a cure for cancer. We already have available to us, if we seek it out, the knowledge of how to live in a way that will prevent the disease. Isn't that preferable?

Dr. Otto Warburg explained the basic biological process by which we "get" cancer in 1931, for which he received a Nobel Prize. It is a shame that -- for a variety of reasons -- his insights have not been translated to the general public so we might protect ourselves by correcting our diet and lifestyle, rather than waiting for some pharmaceutical giant to find a way to make huge profits by patenting a drug or therapy that "cures" cancer.

Boiled frogs come into the picture as the perfect analogy of how we humans get so involved and distracted by our jobs and the petty pleasures we are permitted that we forget the true purpose of life -- learning how to successfully live it.

Instead, we let the experts do our thinking for us, while we go about the chores of living in such a way that now, slightly more than half of our deaths in the USA are caused by cancer.

Obviously, We Are Doing Something Wrong

You see, the so-called experts are more concerned with finding and patenting a cure for cancer (which would be immensely profitable!) than they are at educating us on how, by changing our diet and lifestyle, we can generally avoid ever having the disease!

We have donated billions of dollars over the decades since the "War On Cancer" was declared, but the average person, like the proverbial frog in a pot of simmering water, has not heard the recipe for cancer prevention.

He is too busy watching the Super Bowl with friends and eating foods that couldn't be better for causing cancer. The only exercise many of the most likely cancer victims get will be jumping up and down cheering on their team from the couch.

While most Americans ignore the cautiously worded warnings to eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes, our withered willpower is busily being subverted by advertising. Eating healthy foods -- "rabbit food" -- is no fun, we are told by innuendo at every commercial break.

This is the Boiled Frog Conspiracy. We have paid billions for scientists to find us the answer why we get cancer, but the secret is drowned out in commercial messages that urge us to keep doing the things that are causing the disease. Meanwhile, our health watchdog agencies like the USDA and FDA are too busy protecting the profits of the cancer drug cartel and the food industry to tell us the simple truth of how to prevent the disease.

Is It a Conspiracy? You Decide!

Face it, fellow frogs, there is too much money being made by feeding us a diet that favors the growth of cancer -- while collecting money to fund research for the cure -- to ever be told that the way to prevent cancer has already been found.
