Friday, Aug. 1, is World Lung Cancer Day, a day to raise awareness for the leading cause of cancer death in the United States.

While the number of new cases of lung cancer continues to decrease, due in part to fewer people smoking, rates are increasing in certain groups who are non-smokers.

One woman, Randi Marcus, said she had never smoked before her diagnosis.

"Never smoked a day in my life," Marcus said. "Not even tried it. I felt perfectly healthy. I had no symptoms."

However, the 65-year-old's cancer was an "incidental finding," according to her doctor. A diagnosis that wa spicked up on a text that checks calcium in a patient's arteries.

"The radiologist spotted something on my lung," Marcus said. "10 days later, I was having surgery."

Vice Chairman of Thoracic Surgery at Mount Sinai Health System, Dr. Andrew Kaufma,n says lung cancer in non-smoking patients is different from cancer in smoking patients.

"We don't seem to understand all of the underlying biology, but we do know smoking-related lung cancer is distinctly different from never smoking lung cancer," Kaufman said. "There are different genetic changes that occur between those two different groups."

From the nutritional perspective, cancer survives in an acidic environment, so turning the body into more alkaline denies cancer the resources to continue. Sugar is a major source of acidity. I am obviously not a physician, because I am telling you this.

“That article was retracted.”

It sure was. That’s the risk that Jab kooks run when they use an actual peer reviewed site. They ought to stick to their favorite grifter outlets like Daily Expose.

Here’s what the editors of Cureus posted when they yanked the study:

“The Editors-in-Chief have retracted this article. Upon post-publication review, it has been determined that the correlation between mortality rates and vaccination status cannot be proven with the data presented in this article. As this invalidates the conclusions of the article, the decision has been made to retract.”

Very sorry that happened to your wife. The same thing is happening to me right now. I don’t smoke, and my lung cancer was accidentally discovered when I had fluid in the lungs 2 weeks after a hip replacement. I’ve had lung surgery and chemo.
