In reading Steve Schneider’s book, he makes a statement that one theory is; we all have cancer cells in our body. It’s just that in most cases, our immune system keeps them in check. When our immune system gets depressed in some way, the cancer takes off.
One story from the book relates the tragic story of a father that donated a kidney to his daughter. Six months after donating a kidney to his daughter, his daughter was dead.
Upon further investigation, they found that 15 years earlier her father had contracted melanoma, but was later declared to be cured and cancer free. It turns out, there were likely still many cancer cells circulating through his body but his immune system kept them in check. When the kidney was transferred to his daughter it was contaminated with the cancer cells. She quickly contracted the cancer and died.
