Lung cancer question?


Is it possible to get lung cancer if your grandma smoked when she had your mom, that you can get lung cancer?

No. Cancer is a bad cell that anyone can get. As cells die, new ones arise therefore increasing the chance that the new one could be the bad cell, cancer. For example: smoking kills cells in the lungs causing new ones to form and it's basically a game of russian roullette. Some are more prone to have that bad cell than others by genetics of cell structure. The damage that your grandmother did will not be passed to your genes, only what she was born with.

Cancer is hereditary, meaning, if someone else in your family had it you may be at a higher risk to get it.

Cancer is not passed from person to person and cannot be passed from mother to child during birth.

Try Vitamin C therapy. A few years ago a cancer researcher came out with a paper saying that the best cancer and infection fighter as yet found was Interferon, but, at the time, it cost $15,000 a gram. The good part was that Interferon was a product of the natural breakdown of Vitamin C in your system. Shortly after that paper came out the FDA tried to make Vit C by prescription only. Guess why? The FDA says that the RDA for Vit C is 64 mg a day, just enough to prevent scurvy. Linus Pauling, who got a Nobel Prize for his work with Vit C and a second Nobel Prize for organic chemistry, said 1000 mg a day as a minimum and 2000 mg a day if you are sick. On a personal note, I was sick twice a year, for 2 weeks at a time, for 20 years, and was flat on my back for at least a week each time. To this day the doctors have no idea what the problem was. After I gave up on the doctors I tried Vit C. I took enough to keep from being sick and just below too much to get diarrhea. It followed a bell curve over 2 weeks with a peak at 40,000 mg a day 鈥?about 300,000 over the 2 weeks. I was not sick for those 2 weeks and after a couple of years of that I have not been sick since. I did not dissolve my kidneys, as some doctors said would happen. I did not get any calcium build up or stones and did not dissolve my cones or solidify my joints. Try it, but drink a lot of water 鈥?Vit C is a natural diuretic.
