Essay / Defining cancer and cancer cells - 1552
Our body is made up of millions of cells. These cells constantly grow and divide in an organized manner to produce even more cells as needed. This helps keep the body healthy. When cells become damaged or old, they die and are then replaced by new cells. However, sometimes, as in the image above, this orderly process goes wrong. The genetic material, also called DNA, of a cell can become damaged, leading to the production of mutations that affect normal cell growth and division. When something like this happens, cells don't die when they should and new cells form when the body doesn't need them. Then, the extra cells can form a mass of tissue called a tumor.*Defining cancer: What is it and how does it work?Cancer is a word used for diseases in which irregular cells divide uncontrolled and are capable of invading other tissues. Unlike normal cells, these irregular cancer cells keep reproducing after doubling in size. This means that a cancer cell will continue to double over and over again. Basically, one cell becomes 2, then 4, then 8, then 16 and so on...and now that's multiplied by thousands of cancer cells within a single cancerous tumor. Not only do cancer cells reproduce at an unstoppable rate, but they can also spread. to different parts of the body through the blood and lymphatic systems. These cells can also prevent themselves from self-destructing or simply slow down the destruction process, so that their numbers increase faster than they die or decrease. Cancer is not just a “single” disease, but rather many diseases. There are over 100 different types of cancer. Almost all of them are named after the organ or cell type they come from... middle of paper... keep it there. » he said. Rodney used the power of positive thinking to achieve his goal. After a lot of hard work and mind control, he finally achieved his goal. Today, he is healthy and back on the courts. Regarding his studies, he did not receive any treatment2) David Seidler, the author of the "Speech of the Kings", had been battling bladder cancer for years. Two weeks before his surgery, he decided to try meditation (even though it seemed ridiculous to him). When he went in for his pre-op biopsy, the doctor was shocked to see the lack of cancer in Seidler's body. After several tests carried out by different doctors, he entered into remission. Although there have been many cases of people being cured of cancer without any treatment, the chances of this happening every time are very low. In my analysis I will explain why I came to this conclusion.
