Cancer is the easiest disease to prevent and the most difficult to cure.

The amount of time of heavy continued stress that some investigators talk about is 8 years.

It springs from psychological sources mainly, so it is important to solve any important issues while we can.

Some insights in this thread:

Hare Krishna Mishra Prabhu,

So You mean to say that The more I reduce the stress there will less chances for developing cancer from stress.

Certainly stress lowers the immune system power and continued stress can break it down resulting in inability to neutralize cancer cells.
Cancer is a complex disease.
Bear in mind we are talking about general principles here. For a personalized treatment and details, please look for a qualified practitioner.

Acidity of the body is a major factor also. Dr David Wolfe has some interesting articles on his site. www.thewolfeclinic.com

What about meat eating, smoking, air pollution, artificial life, etc?

"In your country there is cancer. Rich disease. You are rich men. That disease is also very rich. (laughter) India, poverty stricken, they suffer only a little malaria. Thats all. Oh, you are rich. You have got cancer."
(SP lecture Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.1.4 -- London, August 27, 1973)

Svarupa Damodara: The smell we are getting now from burning the gas or coal is also one of the causes of cancer. The hydro-carbons.
Prabhupada: Yes, the artificial life is the cause of all diseases. And they wont accept our natural life. That they think primitive, "We must advance." What is your advancement? Primitive life was also subjected to death. You are also subjected to death. So where is your advancement?
(SP Morning Walk -- May 4, 1973, Los Angeles)

"There must be venereal disease because sex life is so cheap. There must be venereal disease. And venereal disease, once infected, it brings so many other diseases, one after another, one after another. The cancer is also due to that. Madness. Yes. And the Vedic civilization knew it. Therefore first restriction: sex. Brahmacari."
(SP Morning Walk -- December 31, 1973, Los Angeles)

Devotee: ...proof that the cause of cancer is beef-eating.
Prabhupada: Yes.

regarding acidity, a good remedy to balance body acidity is apple cider vinegar with honey diluted in water.
user [13] · 2007-12-15
Froginwell, all these things create acidity in the body.

To make the body alkaline you need to do two things: remove the causes of acidity, and replace them with things that promote alkalinity.

I believe sugar is really a poison,causing so much acidity...Also,theres too much use of chemicals in agriculture as well as pesticides...the solution for this is to grow own food,use cow dung as fertiliser,and avoid sugar by getting sweet taste in fruits only and some honey.

I found this about apple cider vinegar + honey

Note that lemon helps fight acidity (unless it is sweetened with sugar, then becomes acid forming).
