I Hate You
Cancer.
Image via Wikipedia
I can’t seem to stop thinking
You hold all the power
You drag everyone you touch
through their darkest hour
No one escapes
When you come for their life
You rip and you slash
With the surgeons knife
We drug you, we burn you,
We cut you away
You always come back
At the end of the day
You creep up upon us
Crawl slowly inside
We scan and we image
But you always hide
I won’t let you get me
I will fight getting sick
You already took Dad
Too savage, too quick
We will have to stand strong
And wait for an answer
You can’t have us both
I hate you cancer

I have read that cancer dies in oxygen rich environments and systems and also cannot live in ph neutral bodies……..hope this will help!
This is something that the medical profession overlooks time and again!

like Bren said. DIET helps, cancer cannot live in ACIDIC bodies so eating alchid foods is beneficial.
