It’s easy to see why doctors are now completely baffled by turbo cancer, even though they were one hundred percent confident about covid. They’re baffled about all these new rapid-onset cancers because the government isn’t telling them what to say this time. Since most doctors are mindless, robotic, insurance-form-filling frauds in white lab coats, they are completely at sea when there’s no handy government bureaucrat around to tell them what to say.

…………..

In the “You Can’t Make This Stuff Up” department, a completely schizophrenic article from yesterday’s Boston Globe earned its own screen-shotted headline, because you might not believe me. The article focuses on the turbo cancer problem that we already know about, but you won’t believe the psychological knots the Globe is tying around its brain to avoid even mentioning the single obvious suspect:

Look past the absurd list of sugary drinks and bad sleep for a moment, and note the real news, the new admission in the subheadline: “early-onset cancers … appear biologically different.”

How about that? Brand-new types of cancer.

The article begins with a personal-interest anecdote. Local Manchester-by-the-Sea resident and avid runner Chris Gosline, 40’s, went to the urgent care center with a sore shoulder. The visit eventually ended with a shocking hospital diagnosis of stage 4 liver cancer. You might even call it “turbo cancer,” although the Boston Globe didn’t.

It would understate the facts to say Gosline was stunned by the sudden and unexpected diagnosis. The fit runner told the Globe, “I’m not overweight. I’ve been running my whole life. I eat well, I don’t smoke, I don’t drink heavily. I don’t do drugs of any sort,” he said. “You feel like you’re following all the rules, doing right by your body, then out of nowhere….”

He’s not the only one. Dr. Kimmie Ng, director of the Young-Onset Colorectal Cancer Center at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, is starting to see lots of Chris Goslines. “]necdotally,” Dr. Ng explained, “I can just tell you that so many of my young patients that we see are perfectly fit. They’re marathon runners, they have healthy diets, they are not obese. And so it does go beyond just obesity.”

It’s so strange and mysterious and baffling! According to the Globe, Chris’ story is “part of a worldwide trend:”

An array of cancers — colorectal chief among them — are striking people younger than 50 at higher rates than in previous decades, prompting new screening guidelines, new research, and growing concern… doctors are concerned about the upward trend, as they increasingly diagnose malignancies once infrequently seen in anyone under 50.

It’s not just how fast these new cancers appear and progress, either. They look different. Dr. Andrew T. Chan, a gastroenterologist and chief of the Clinical and Translational Epidemiology Unit at Massachusetts General Hospital, said his young adult patients who undergo colonoscopies after a routine gastrointestinal complaint often find they already have polyps, a precursor to colon cancer. “We’re finding polyps at 25 or 30 years old,” he explained. “It’s clear that there is something different happening even before someone turns 25.”

Something different is happening, all right.

Strangely, the polyps and colon cancer tumors Dr. Ng is finding in young people are forming on the left side of the colon and in the rectum, but no such pattern is seen in the old. No one knows why. I found that bizarre left-sided fact especially mysterious, especially given the shots are usually injected into peoples’ left arms. Plus, young people with metastatic colon cancer — even if more fit and getting more intensive therapy than their elders — are showing bleak survival rates that are no better than older people, according to a recent study cited by the Globe.

But our Nation’s doctors, who instantly knew everything there was to know about a brand-new, novel Chinese coronavirus and brand-new, never-before-used mRNA injections, everything, every little thing, are now COMPLETELY BAFFLED by turbo cancer in young healthy people. Timothy Rebbeck, professor of cancer prevention at Harvard’s T.H. Chan School Of Public Health, admitted it’s a “very hard question that none of us really know the answer to.”

It’s a very hard question. Nobody knows the answer! It’s the purest kind of enigma; a mystery buried in a box of riddle jacks. It’s almost like the solution is right there, in plain sight, but they just can’t make it out.

Healthy adults are supposed to have low rates of disease like cancer. But now, “there’s a lot of us out there, come to find out,” Chris Gosline explained ruefully. “People living a healthy profile. Then, out of nowhere it’s, boom, you have cancer. … There’s something going on out there, some variable.”

Out of nowhere — boom! Chris might be on to something. There’s some kind of hidden “variable” out there. What on Earth could it be?

Maybe it’s … processed food destroying gut bacteria! “We do think that it may be other changes in the environment,” Dr. Ng said. “Is it increasing antibiotic use? Is it components of these ultra processed foods that have emerged with modern lifestyles, that is changing the microbiome?”

It’s something in the environment, all right.

It’s easy to see why doctors are now completely baffled by turbo cancer, even though they were one hundred percent confident about covid. They’re baffled about all these new rapid-onset cancers because the government isn’t telling them what to say this time. Since most doctors are mindless, robotic, insurance-form-filling frauds in white lab coats, they are completely at sea when there’s no handy government bureaucrat around to tell them what to say.

The Globe’s article ultimately seemed schizophrenic. On the one hand, the reporter tried her best to throw up a fog of aerosolized cow manure in the form of every other possibility but the jabs. On the other hand, she also included undeniable facts that completely undermined her replacement theories.

For example, the Globe described the slow, all-age increase in American cancer rates since the 1970’s, suggesting this might be part of a trend. I wonder what would show up if they plotted that long, slow trend against the number of vaccines typically administered every year? Anyway, it was meaningless since all the anecdotes and comments from experts centered around a recent dramatic increase in rapid cancers, of a whole new type, which mooted the long, slow trend line as a cause.

Next, the Globe threw out the long list of usual lifestyle complaints, things doctors have been harping on since before I was born. Bad habits like sitting all day, eating meat and drinking sugary beverages, overusing antibiotics, and staying up too late with the lights on. In other words, it’s our own fault. The Globe moralized that these bad habits can disrupt people’s metabolism and cause inflammation. So.

But again, none of those lifestyle problems are new. Nor are they causally linked to turbo cancer. And most ironically and fatally to the Globe’s lifestyle argument, the article started out describing Chris Gosline and other “young, fit, healthy” people — people who obviously ARE NOT eating poorly and sitting all day or otherwise falling prey to bad health habits.

Finally, and most damning to the Globe’s “it could be anything” and “it’s been growing for a long time” theories, was the fact these new turbo cancers express clear biological differences never seen before, like polyps and tumors appearing only on the left side of people’s colons and rectums. “The very youngest patients do seem to have a biologically different disease,” Dr. Ng admitted.

Unlike how the Globe reported every new covid variant, its article about turbo cancer ended on an upbeat note. It explained how the National Cancer Institute has now listed early-onset cancer as one of the “grand challenges” for researchers and plans to award $25 million next year to a team that has the biggest breakthrough. This also proves the phenomenon’s recency.

If only science had identified cancer and bad health habits as a problem before now. Science must have overlooked it.

“It is encouraging that so much attention is being paid to the early-onset cancer issue,” Dr. Rebbeck told the reporter. “There is scientific progress being made, and I hope we will have answers.”

Me too. I also hope we have answers. But I’m not waiting around for them.
