This blog has a single post (this one) dedicated to helping figure out what cancer is.
Rarely in medicine are diseases cured without really understanding the disease, and right now science and medicine is at a standstill on understanding cancer.
It matters not whether you are an MD, a plumber, a patient, or a couch potato; we want you to help.

Cancer is to cells what prions are to proteins
Cancer is like a photo negative of multicellular life
Macroevolution leading to microevolution
Cancer and every so-called disease originates from a DHS (Dirk Hamer Syndrome), which is a serious, highly acute, dramatic and isolating conflict shock and has to be understood as a Significant Biological Special Program (SBS) created to solve an unexpected biological conflict.
Boredom on the cellular level
Unwinding of autocatalytic processes
Cancer is when a precious life ends when it can still go on and be shared with loved ones.
Cancer is when companies make profit by helping to perpetuate a culture that promotes using the products that it causes cancer.
Cancer is when breakthrough technologies that have the scientific integrity to challenge status quo are being squashed because venture capitalists need to self promote the stale investments they made in companies which were not based on true science and care for cancer patients but for profiteering, you scratch my back and I scratch yours kind of mentality and at the end of the selling the company to bigger fish that will turn around and sell more drugs that supposedly cures cancer but it never works in more than a small, hand full number of patients and yet gets through the FDA approval process.
I can go on more...but it is time to think outside of the box and pay attention to technologies that were not developed to propagate the same old concepts and methodologies that have not gotten us anywhere but these technologies truly are focused to understand individual differences in the biology of cancer which means the care and treatment should also be personalized. Global Patterns of Histone Modifications in Human Cancer is one of such technologies that is worthy of attention, backing and exploring to address and avoid tragedies pertaining to loss of human lives especially when its most preventable if the right course of treatment is selected at the right time for the right patients.
