Why believe in the absurd? Who says that ALL healthy people get cancer, no matter what. Stop worrying.

I do not blame nature, nor do I blame the environment for my son's cancer. It's just bad luck. He has one of the rarest childhood cancers (DSRCT) that have few treatment options.
We have always lived a healthy lifestyle. We are not near any major industrial areas, nor was he exposed to any known carcinogens. We don't smoke. There is absolutely no reason that we can fathom that a 17 year old would develop such a deadly cancer. We are in contact with other patients with the same disease and so far we can find absolutely nothing in common to explain the disease. It is not genetic as far as we can tell. The disease crosses all races, ages, and both sexes. The only real clue that we have for the cause of the disease is the onset of puberty and growth seems to 'trigger' the cancer. His cancer is considered a chimeric cancer . . which means that two cancers have melded to create a new type of cancer.
My son has never been angry about what has happened to him. He feels that the tumors are part of his body that are not behaving properly. Even though the tumors could eventually take his life, he feels that they are a part of him. They are his cells growing wayward, not some foreign body invasion. He is a calm individual by nature, very philosophical, and a delight to be around. I am the one who always says, "Why him?" and his reply to me is always, "Why not me?"

No one knows for sure, but I lean more towards such cases as you suggest being environmental...not Nature. Healthy people who live around carcinogens in the air can get lung cancer...of course that includes a not-so-healthy friend who smokes around her all the time.. Healthy women exposed to pesticides...for instance, like you would use on your rose garden can get breast cancer.
So the lesson to learn here is that even if you lead the healthiest lifestyle in the world...you still have to LIVE in the world...and it can kick you when you are not looking, too. That being said, you certainly increase your chances of living a long, healthy life by practicing healthy lifestyles.

Nature doesn't care who lives or dies, Nature is only worried about the balance. When populations reach a given point nature finds a way to reset the balance, through the mythical 4 horsemen: War, Famine, Disease, Pestilence.
Do not assume the planet loves you, it was here long before us, it will remain long after. it has been trod upon by much larger than we, and it has killed them with out a tear, no not speak of deficient, as we are but the latest creature to claim dominance of a world which without warning could end us in less time than we can fathom.

In 1931, a Professor did a study on air. This had a remarkable result till today. It is not nature's fault that people get cancer. Humans have created this vast concrete jungle and that is robbing us of Oxygen. The lack of oxygen and ions that are no longer existant in our city area, is 80% of the time the indirect cause of cancer!

Why do you feel the necessity to lay blame on something? Of course it's "nature's fault" if healthy people get cancer. It could also be a result of environmental pollution. Low doses of arsenic can cause cancer. It is more fruitful to look for causes than it is to assign blame.

When my son was diagnosed with cancer at 11 months old, i thought i was going to just curl up and die myself. I'm not really sure what i feel when it comes to the "how" question, i just know that i was more concerned with "why" and why him, he was just a baby, and hadn't had a chance to even live his life yet. When i asked the doctors, why and how?? they just told me "bad luck", i know this is not a very good answer, but it just goes to show you that even the doctors are confused by this whole disease. 2 years of chemo and 7 surgeries later my son seemed to be doing better. As of now my son is 7 years old, and in remission(better than what they told me he would be) and that i do call faith,love and a little bit of luck.

i think of a few people are greater possibly to strengthen maximum cancers than others... in the adventure that your loved ones has a background of it (from smoking) then i could provide up. merely via fact your grandpa died of it doesnt propose your mom will or which you will. no you are able to truly inform you which you will or won't get maximum cancers. I honestly have had 3 Uncles die of lung maximum cancers and yet another uncle who smokes possibly 3 packs an afternoon and has diverse well being issues, yet does no longer have maximum cancers. the only concern you're able to do is stay your life as superb as you are able to and not subject approximately despite the fact that if or no longer you will get maximum cancers, via fact apart from no longer smoking, there is no longer the rest extremely you're able to do to dodge it.

Not nature's fault.
More like environment and genetics. You can be as healthy as a horse and still get cancer. My dad was prime example of that. He was as healthy as a horse; but he had two types of cancer and survived them both.
If any relatives get cancer, you have a high chance of getting it.
The environment you're in causes cancer; especially if you're in one of the "cancer allies". We have poisoned the Earth beyond repair. Toxins just don't go away, they stay around for decades.

a recent study showed that women who use nail polish remover with acetone have been found to have some of the ingredients in their breast tissue ... I don't remember all of the particulars but I remember being shaken to my core
we don't tend to look at the items we use and that surround us in our daily life as being a health detriment unless the media brings it to our attention - like saccharin during the '70s
I don't think it's nature most of the time at all... I think it's all the chemicals and compounds we put into and onto ourselves for the most part...
another huge contributor, IMHO, is stress............ there are no real noticable symptoms most of the time - the effect is cumulative
I don't blame Mother Nature for this at all
