According to Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER), a na onal cancer-monitoring program, the last twenty-five years have witnessed drama c increases in disease and death from kidney cancer among black and white Americans of both sexes. During the last twenty years, all white men saw increased incidence at 3.1 percent per year; white women at 3.9 percent; and African-American men and women the steepest rate at 3.9 percent and 4.3 percent. Such increases over a twenty-year period cannot be explained by early detec on, especially given that screening tests are not rou nely employed. • Tes cular cancer is another malignancy rising in occurrence for the last several decades in virtually all developed na ons. The na on's oldest ongoing statewide tumor registry finds a mean annual increase in tes cular cancer incidence of more than 5.5 percent over the last sixty years. New studies are showing that a mother's exposure to pollutants may contribute to tes cular cancer in her sons' years later. • Age-adjusted incidence of breast cancer in industrialized countries has increased 1 to 2 percent per year for several decades, both before and a er introduc on of mammography. • Prostate cancer is up nearly 290 percent in the last fi y years. • Thyroid cancer is up 258 percent • Cases of skin melanomas are up almost 700 percent in the last fi y years. • Lung Cancer is currently the most common cause of cancer death in women, with the death rate more than two mes what it was twenty-five years ago. In the last fi y years, incidence of age-adjusted cancer increased roughly 85 percent in the United States. Because this figure is adjusted for age, a person living longer has nothing to do with this increase. The most affected part of the popula on is children, who represent the fastest=growing sector of people with unprecedented high rates of cancer. Every year approximately eight thousand children under age fi een are diagnosed with malignant disease, most frequently leukemia and brain tumors. Environmental exposure such as ionizing radia on, hormones, and an neoplas c agents are accepted to be contributors to these diseases. At this wri ng it is es mated that the number of new cases of cancer will globally climb to almost 17 million in 2020 from just under 13 million today – a 30 percent increase! Cancers of the prostate and breast will be the most frequently diagnosed cancers in men and women, respec vely, followed by lung and colorectal cancers both in men and in women. Overall, the most common cancers – skin, lungs, breasts, kidneys, colorectal and prostate – are organs of excre on. It's possible that toxin accumula on for purpose of excre on may be a clue as to the connec on between toxins and excretory organs. The relationship between toxins and cancer are well documented – for many types of cancer, including leukemias and lymphomas, and for virtually all types of toxins.
