The leit motif of this web-site is to disillusion the masses about myths surrounding cancer and open their minds to its realities – cancerrealism or truth about cancer

It was 2500 years ago when the famous Indian sage Charaka classified Arbuda (i.e. tumors) into two categories - Saumya (i.e. benign) and Ghataka (malignant). He advised that arbuda of saumya variety to be treated and Ghataka variety be left alone, or else the patient might curse the doctor.”- The Other Face of Cancer, Bhalani Publications (Click this link to see some interesting realization on cancer of some physicians of Ancient India)

It is a confounding fact that, so often, an evident cancer cannot be held responsible for a person's death. “Cancers are generally not in themselves fatal; that is, with rare exceptions they do not produce toxins or otherwise kill the host directly”. (Seeds of Destruction. The Science Report on Cancer Research. Plenum Press, N.Y., 1975)

Therefore, we should deplore the popular usage of military terminology for cancer like calling it killer, slayer, enemy and so on.

Never in the history of mankind has so much untruth been told so often by so few to so many, for so long, at such a backbreaking fiscal and human cost. The site (document) seriously questions the customary view on the long held notion about cancer. The statements have been amply corroborated in the web-site (document) and the viewer will feel reassured.

The site has been developed keeping in mind a wide gamut of viewers    from Doctors, Patients, Journalists, Researchers and anybody who is even slightly keen to know about Cancer
