This is an interesting new study in the light of what Dr. Hulda Clark said. She says that a parasite and a solvent (isopropyl alcohol) together lay the foundation for cancer. Even though the whole picture is a lot more complex (as detailed in her later books), these remained the main parts of the puzzle. Even though Dr. Clark pointed out that the isopropyl alcohol can also come from Clostridium bacteria, which are present especially in the case of dental infections, she also said that isopropyl alcohol mostly comes into our lives through processed products. In her later books, Dr. Clark goes on to list many other toxins that play an important role in the causation of cancer.
Some readers over the years have commented that cancer has always existed, even long before civilization brought in so many heavy metals, solvents and other toxins. How could it then be that toxins play such an important role for cancer, if it is mainly our civilized lifestyle that surrounds us with all these trace toxins?
A new study of almost 1000 mummies came to the conclusion that cancer was not widespread at all back in the ancient days. Only for a handful of the inspected mummies, cancer was the cause of death, whereas now it accounts for one in three deaths. Even if adjusted to age, the incidence of cancer was much lower than what we are used to now. This clearly shows that cancer is a “civilization disease” — caused by something that our modern civilization brings with it. Solvents, heavy metals and other toxins, Dr. Clark would say, found in body products, drinks, cleaners, food, leaching from plastics, sprayed into the air, seeping in from the garage etc. etc.
