Cancer is a result of toxicity in the body. Toxins are substances that perform no physiological function, and, therefore, do not belong in the body. The more pervasive the toxins are in your body, the greater chance you have of getting any chronic disease, including cancer. Toxicity leads to cell mutations, which medical science recently determined is the leading cause of cancer. When your body no longer contains substances that are harmful to it, toxins, your body can start healing itself if you provide it with the right nutrients, including water.

Rare cancers are any tumors that involve a small percentage of the population in any age group.
