Except for viral-based cancers, overall cancers are diseases that may be preventable. This book looks at the many levels of determined, probable, and possible causation for several common cancers. These causes include realities found in culture, anthropology, sociology, politics, the environment, agriculture and food, beliefs, and the modern lifestyle. These realities are filtered through the perennial science of Chinese medicine - an ecological system of knowing and understanding the human body as it relates to the world around us.The book covers lung 606 $aMedicine, Chinese 606 $aPollution$xHealth aspects 606 $aTumors$xEtiology 606 $aTumors$xTreatment 606 $aCancer$xTreatment 615 0$aMedicine, Chinese. 615 0$aPollution$xHealth aspects. 615 0$aTumors$xEtiology. 615 0$aTumors$xTreatment. 615 0$aCancer$xTreatment. 676 $a616.994071 700 $aLahans$b Tai$01684757 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808545203321 996 $aThe geology of the modern cancer epidemic$94056400 997 $aUNINA
