 | | The majority of people have low thyroid activity due to their diet, says Dr Barnes, but of the thousands of patients he has put on thyroid therapy, not one has developed lung cancer, and only six deaths have occurred from cancer of any kind. | | | On the other hand, sensible analysis of the subject reveals instead that cancer is a single, constitutional complaint preventable by the simple act of purifying the constitution and that therefore the cancer problem is in fact a comparatively simple one. | | | This latter relationship is held to be accountable for the higher incidence of colon cancer among males. |
