I've read so much about NSCLC since my husband was diagnosed almost two years ago. I have a good science background and have to say I'm almost positive cancer begins as a virus.
I conclude that: the poisoness RNA protein deposited into a cell by a virus is absorbed by the cell. This protein is metabolized as a normal food. During cell division, which includes DNA replication, some of the genes on the DNA molecule, become "turned off" or we could say become "damaged", because the cell replicated them from the abnormal protein food deposited by the virus. During the process of cell division the new cell passes on the damaged DNA. The poisoness RNA, did it's job. Now in the skeem of things, these deranged cells cannot be recognized by the the immune system. Because the poisoness RNA stimulates the cell into a faster than normal cell division, tumors grow. The body is in a real bind now because it can't squash the tumors due to the fact it can't recognize them.
Some virus, when they make their way into a cell, cause the cell to explode, spreading the virus throughout the body. When this happens, the white cells are alerted and clean up the mess, controlling the infection.
Other virus are very crafty. These are the ones that can actually alter the DNA, keeping the bodies defenses useless.
The very first tumor is the key to the cure. These cells contain the original DNA error and most probably traces of the original RNA virus. Doctors need to isolate this virus and make a vaccine.
I would welcome any comments from.
