With cancer rates reaching record highs, it is time to start labeling the cancer crisis an epidemic. Cancer 101 Solutions reports that while back in the 1960s, cancer struck one out of every four North Americans and killed one in every five, in 2007 cancer affects one in every two males and over a third of all females. Cancer is on the rise in all age groups and globally lung cancer continues to be the primary type of cancer with breast cancer following close behind.
What makes Cancer 101 Solutions different from other books on the same subject, is that the emphasis is on prevention, not on finding a cure. Exact figures are hard to come by but currently the cure cancer industry is estimated at having a global worth somewhere in the $175 billion to $1 trillion dollar range. The majority of this industry money is spent on research and finding cures. Currently very little or no money is spent on prevention.
Cancer 101 Solutions unequivocally states that the cancer epidemic is being fueled by the carcinogenics in our air, water, food and the relentless assault on our immune systems by toxic substances. Toxic chemicals now enter our bodies through pesticides, household cleaners, cosmetics, paints, dyes, chlorine, tobacco smoke, asbestos, PCBs, computers, Teflon, etc. Sound depressing? Cancer 101 Solutions highlights that the bad news there are a lot of potentially harmful substances in our life; the good news is many or most are avoidable.
The cure cancer industry is estimated at having a global worth somewhere in the $175 billion to $1 trillion dollar range.
Cancer 101 Solutions To A Preventable Epidemic is part of The Solutions Project founded by Canadian environmental activist and writer Guy Dauncey. Like other books in the series, the subject information is divided into two parts. The first part of the book includes detailed information on the global cancer crisis and the second part offers the 101 solutions promised by the title. The solution section is divided into various solutions tailored for individuals, parents, youth, businesses and also includes national and global solutions to the cancer crisis. The emphasis on prevention makes this hard-hitting, factual book both accessible and palatable.
For anyone touched by cancer or concerned with the growing toxicity and pollution in our environment, Cancer 101 is a must read. Perhaps it should also be mandatory reading for all health care practitioners who need to start conveying to their patients that many forms of cancer are caused by environmental toxins – most of which are avoidable.

Wrong.
The majority of this industry money is spent on marketing. "The drug companies have spent more than $3bn on lobbyists and political "contributions" over the past decade in the US alone." see: http://www.independent.co.uk/o...67257.html
