Cancer Sniffing Dogs
August 18, 2012
The mainstream media is reporting that dogs can sniff out cancer in human beings. This concept was once considered quackery by conventional doctors. They are once again - completely wrong.
Cancer patients have a particular smell due to the metabolic off-gassing of cancer cell tumors. But here's the real story the mainstream media isn't telling you: It's not just dogs that can smell cancer - many health practitioners can also smell cancer patients.
The research on the ability of dogs to sniff out cancer was conducted by researchers at the Kyushu University in Japan. Dr Hideto Sonoda, who conducted the research, told the BBC, "The specific cancer scent indeed exists, but the chemical compounds are not clear. Only the dog knows the true answer."
Natural health practitioners claim they can smell cancer in patients. It's not really a difficult thing to do. With a bit of training, most doctors could be trained to do it. A cancer-sniffing dog in Japan correctly identified cancer from stool samples 37 out of 38 times. This does not mean doctors have to sniff patients' poo, either. You can smell cancer on someone's breath, so just talking to a patient can give a doctor an opportunity to do that. Historically, physicians used to taste a patient's urine, to diagnose a number of diseases, especially diabetes.
An important point in all this is that the cancer-sniffing dogs were able to detect early-stage bowel cancer - something that is extremely difficult for modern medical technology to detect. And it only takes a dog a few seconds - at virtually zero cost - to make the assessment.
CANCER INDUSTRY PROFITEERS
Now, of course, medical scientists are busy trying to build an electronic device to replace the dog, because conventional medicine can't stand the idea that something built by nature (the dog's nose) might be better than their million-dollar electronic gizmo that can bill people at $500 a test. Instead of using dogs who can already detect cancer right away, the cancer industry is going to spend time and money producing expensive high-tech equipment that will replace the zero-cost dog sniffers.
That's how modern medicine works: It steals good ideas from nature and replicates them, but the results are a poor imitation of what Mother Nature provides for free. Which one do you think conventional medicine will end up using?Here's how the end results would likely stack up:
CANCER-SNIFFING DOG
Accuracy: 98%
Cost: One dog biscuit and a pat on the head
CANCER-SNIFFING HIGH-TECH MACHINE
Accuracy: 60%
Cost: $500 billed to Medicare
