So the question that seems to be our there in today's world is this . . .
Is "CANCER" . . . really just a "PARASITE"???
Well . . . let's take the next few days and figure that one out.
Because there is a "misconception" with that statement that we all need to understand.
So, first up . . . what exactly is a "parasite" in definition???
Well . . . the CDC says . . . "a parasite is an organism that lives on or in a host organism and gets its food from or at the expense of its host"
Now . . . it is "true" cancer can be "considered" a parasite in a few ways . . .
Mind you . . . NOT that cancer is "caused" by a parasite . . . but rather that . . . cancer just "ACTS" like a parasite to the human body!!!
You see . . . Cancer cells can "extract" nutrients from the host cells (us), similar to how parasites extract nutrients from their hosts. This process is called "parasitic cancer metabolism".
Another reason that many have the misconception that "cancer is a "parasite is that . . . cancer cells lose their growth control mechanisms and "sometimes" acquire parasitic "features" . . . even though . . . cancer is not a parasite.
You see . . . Cancer cells and parasites use "similar" molecular mechanisms for survival in their host (us).
So, what is CANCER???
Well . . . cancer is generally considered to be caused by DNA changes that result in cells dividing uncontrollably and spreading into surrounding tissues.
So, even though . . . some consider "CANCER" to "ACT" like a parasite . . . there is "NO" actual evidence that "cancer" IS . . . or . . . is CAUSED by a parasite.
So, tomorrow . . . let's continue and I'll tell you how "cancer" REALLY develops in the human body.
