If your parents or close relatives have had cancer, it's natural to worry about whether you might be affected.
Yes, a family history of cancer increases the risk. The closer the degree of kinship, the higher the risk. But modern science - epigenetics in particular - gives us hope:
Only 5-10% of cancer cases are genetic in nature.
In most cases, it is not the disease itself that is transmitted, but the predisposition to it.
And the main question is what exactly triggers this tendency?
The trigger for the cancer process is often psychological trauma, internal conflicts, and deep emotional pain.
Symptoms that indicate a high level of risk:
neuroticism, anxiety, depression;
depression, emotional loss;
chronic stress that depletes the immune system;
a feeling of inability to live a full life;
emotional emptiness or loss of meaning in life.
Exhausted psycho-emotional resources lead to a decrease in the body's defense, including anti-tumor immunity.
Loss of a loved one
A difficult divorce
Dismissal or bankruptcy
Prolonged financial or life crises
If so, and you have not yet overcome the emotional consequences, you are at risk.
The more of the above you can relate to, the higher the risk:
Habit of suppressing emotions, especially anger
Inner ban on fear, sadness, anxiety
Excessive patience, "convenience," passivity, obedience
Avoidance of conflicts, desire to "ignore" problems
Living in the interests of others, ignoring one's own needs
A tendency to self-sacrifice or psychological "masochism"
Depression, fatigue, apathy, problems with adaptation
Presence of neuroses, anxiety disorders, depression
Loss of "taste of life", joy and inspiration
If you recognize more than half of these traits, you should think about preventive psychological work.
The combination of these three factors is particularly dangerous:
Oncology in the family (genetic predisposition)
Untreated psychological trauma (especially loss)
Personality traits that exacerbate oncogenic distress
In this case, mandatory psychological assistance is the best way to prevent it.
All of the above also applies to precancerous diseases such as:
atrophic gastritis
gastric ulcer
ulcerative colitis
chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis
cervical erosion
polyps, cysts, trophic ulcers, etc.
As stated in the book "The Carcinogenic Mind," the main mechanism for the transition of precancer to cancer is the formation of an oncodominant.
Our methods help eliminate it before the disease begins.
Don't wait until the alarm becomes a reality.
