I left a comment about an old study where a patient had recieved a vaccine developed with monkey cells. Later in life the person developed a brain tumer. The tumer was removed and examined. There were monkey cells in the center of this tumer. This seems to indicate that possibly the cancer identified these cells as ailien particles and attempted to isolate them. Any thoughts?

Interesting! That would make sense to me. Thanks for sharing this!

Also I wonder if its at all similar to how trees isolate disease with CODIT were the tree isolates issues by compartmentalizing the disease.

Keep em coming. Any ideas why cancer tumors form in particular areas of the body?

Great question. I’m planning to devote a blog post to this in the future. Different toxins preferentially accumulate in different tissues. For example oxalates accumulate in breast tissue, which is why oxalates are linked to breast cancer. So the goal is to make a map of where specific toxins accumulate, and then we can connect this to cancer in specific organs
