(Yes I am aware of the age of this thread.)

I don't think its good to assume that any one diet, method, exercise, etc will give you ultimately perfect health forever. Many scientists agree that cancer is not new, it was just not recognized for what it was and instead was considered the body just being old and giving out.

Rather, I think that it is right to assume that eating a clean diet, and getting exercise, and things like qi gong and meditation will help to prevent developing diseases. But often, people can be genetically pre-disposed to developing cancers and other ailments, and it can also be caused by environmental factors as well. Even just walking down the street being passed by cars, you breathe in toxins. It's inescapable in this world unless you live somewhere rustic where no one smokes and everyone walks to get where they're going with no cars.

And even in that, pollution floats over from other countries, states, cities, in the atmosphere.

I eat and balance my life for wise prevention, not depending on it for a miracle, because I already know that I am genetically predisposed towards cancer. My mother had her uterus removed from strange cysts that managed to be non-cancerous, my aunt (her sister) had breast cancer (and won!), my Aunt's daughter Angel had skin cancer on her shoulder that was removed, I lost a grandmother (Dad's mom) to lung cancer when I was 7, and during my jr high year lost my great grandparents to cancers. I hope that I can lessen my chance of getting it by eating carefully and exercising (I love you yoga!) but I know that I won't rewrite my genetics with it.

What makes it worth it to try at all? When I live in the present, I feel alert, alive, healthy, peaceful, and easily slipping beyond the ego into that loving open and aware state of mind, the glimpses of which inspired writings of heaven and gods world-over. It's that feeling that I prefer to live in, over the tweaked out chattering that comes from too much sugar (Granted I still give in to that now and then though, I'm only human) or the sluggishness that comes with cheeseburgers.

I believe that when people are healed by macro, it is because its so radically different and cleaner from what was already polluting the body. When someone was MB for a lifetime, but still gets it, my only answer can be genetics and environmental causes.
