Where did cancer come from?!
Question: Has it always been, or did it start because of disease in a country. Just wondered about the history of it.
Answers:
Cancer did not start as a "disease".
There are factors in life that encourage the growth of cancer. (Heredity is a LARGE factor). Also, people who smoke and do dip, they have a MUCH high chance of getting cancer then others.
However, this does not mean that if you have ALWAYS been healthy, never smoked, never did drugs, never was out in the sun, was never near radiation, that does NOT mean you don't have a chance of getting cancer. It's just a smaller odd.
Also, my own opinion on this.: Breast cancer in men & women is very prevelant in this age. I believe this has something to do with the microwave. How often have you put something in the microwave, turned it on, and stood in front of it and waited for it to cook? Most microwaves are at chest level on a counter. So, that is MY theory.
Cancer, is NOT contagious, therefore it didn't just "start somewhere".
Other Answers:
IMO it has developed as a result of all the toxin and pollutants on our food, water, and environment. Note that as time passes, the more cancer increases. I believe this is because of the buildup of poisons in our planet and in our bodies.
I don't know that they will tell you "when cancer started." Most of the literature refers to when it was "first diagnosed." They will tell you that it existed before that, we just didn't know what it was.
But its obvious that over the last 20 years the incidence of all types of cancer have skyrocketed. I am sure it will only get worse.
Think about this.
Your body is made up of many cells. Splitting and growing and dieing each day. Over and over again this happens. But one gene is not carried over to the new split cell correct. It does not do what it is meant to do . It grows fast splits faster in to copes of it self. A cancer is borne. This can be a flaw you got for your parents or caused by a chemical or sunlight or just you dame bad luck.
Cancer is little more than cells going a bit crazy. They forget to die off. They replicate too fast and too sloppy. And because they're doing things that they shouldn't be, the body doesn't necessarily have an appropriate natural reaction to their mutant behavior.
Cancer tends to come from the persistent influence of toxins on our cells, though genetic defects can makes cells more prone to screw up than they normally would.
Cancer has been around as long as cells have been prone to screw up. (Caesar Rodney had skin cancer in his face when he signed the declaration of independence.) The reason why cancer is becoming so prevalent in this day and age is because people are living long enough to have cell mutations showing up (in addition to exposure to oodles of industrial pollutants and unnatural foods which I'm going going to get into). But the short of it is that back when the life expectancy was only 40 years before a plague/famine/war kills you, folks weren't worrying about colon cancer that's coming from a steady diet of sausages and might catch up to them by age 60.
On a tangent, Social Security was created in a time when people, on average, were dead shortly before turning 65.

cancer is a natural occurence of cellular mistakes
No proof Just theories: viruses,immune responses,pollution,preservati. and additives in food,genetics
Cancer is a form of evolution. All living organisms experience cancer.
