Stanford-educated surgeon believes pesticides should be blamed for cancer

The talk show by renowned American journalist Tucker Carlson recently touched on a critical and sensitive topic: cancer. Carlson's interviewer, Dr Casey Means[1], tried to explain to all viewers that various forms of cancer result from pesticides used in food.

Dr. Casey Means is a head and neck surgeon who graduated from Stanford University School of Medicine and has more than 10 years of experience in the medical field. While training as a surgeon, she noticed how broken the healthcare system was and eventually began to delve into the black side of pharmaceuticals. On Carlson's show, the renowned doctor explained in detail what is happening to humanity as a result of the indiscriminate and unsafe use of chemicals.

T. Carlson's show, Dr. C. Means, presented alarming statistics showing that we consume pesticide-sprayed foods daily without even thinking about the potentially dire consequences. But while ordinary consumers do not think twice about the massive use of harmful pesticides in the food industry and blindly believe in their safety, the statistics on cancer are looking more and more horrific.

So here's a look at what Dr. C. Means and Dr. T. Carlson had to say on the program. You can watch the English version of the program here:

Breast cancer affects 1 in 8 American women: are estrogen-active pesticides to blame?

T. Carlson pointed out that pancreatic cancer has always been very dangerous, even fatal, but, as far as he knows, it is quite unusual because so many people have not had it.

However, as Dr Means points out, pancreatic cancer statistics are now at unprecedented heights. The renowned surgeon said:

"What are the risk factors? Obesity, diabetes, smoking. Basically, it is a lifestyle disease. So why is it [the number of cases] going up so much? Like breast cancer."

As for breast cancer, its statistics are truly relentless. As Dr Means pointed out, one in eight women in America now has breast cancer. Moreover, it is the second most common cancer if we include all cancers in the statistics.

In an attempt to explain why so many women get breast cancer, Dr Means said:

"It's mostly estrogen-related. Estrogen-induced cancers. Well, where do all these extra estrogens come from? Hmm... Could it be the 6 billion pounds of pesticides that are invisibly sprayed all over our food, poisoning it? And what are these pesticides doing? They are estrogen receptor agonists."

An agonist is a receptor, a protein in a cell that is responsible for receiving signals from the environment and transmitting them to another cell to maintain the body's balanced functioning. Thus, according to Dr. Means, pesticides act as estrogen receptor agonists, creating extra estrogen in women's bodies and ultimately causing breast cancer.

Pesticides are bought from China and Germany, which ban their use in their food industries

Dr Means also pointed out that these pesticides are manufactured in China and Germany. However, while American companies are happy to buy huge quantities of pesticides, China and Germany themselves do not use them in their food. In both China and Germany, these pesticides are banned and recognized as poisonous and, therefore, cannot be used in the food industry.

When Carlson heard such talk, he immediately listened:

"So what does that mean? I'm sorry, but I just want to make sure that the science is clear, because I don't understand it very well. What is the effect of these chemicals on food?"

His interlocutor responded with statistics on pesticide use that are difficult to understand in common sense. It turns out that as much as 6 billion pounds (more than 2.72 billion kilograms) of pesticides are sprayed worldwide every year:

"So, these chemicals, these 6 billion pounds of pesticides worldwide per year, are supposedly used for pest control. They are also used in our children's parks, golf courses and everywhere else. They are invisible, tasteless and directly toxic to our cell biology."

According to Carlson, the toxicity of pesticides can be inferred from both their names and statistics:

"So they are pesticides. "Cide" is the [Latin] word for the act of killing. Herbicides and other cides, fungicides... And they are so toxic that 20% of all suicides in the world are caused by drinking pesticides. And yet our government tells us that they are perfectly safe."

Shocking coincidence: pesticide maker Monsanto has merged with cancer drug maker Bayer

Finally, the program highlighted another fact: the link between chemical manufacturers and cancer drug manufacturers. Dr Means referred to the biggest merger in German history:

"This will shock you, but look at this. The biggest merger ever in Germany was between Bayer and Monsanto. Where Bayer, a pharmaceutical company, merged with Monsanto, a US agrochemical company.
If you look at what Bayer produces, they produce drugs for cancers such as non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL). And if you look at what Monsanto produces, [they produce] Roundup. It is the most widely used pesticide in America, and the cancer it causes is non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. In the last couple of years alone, they have paid USD 11 billion for cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
So a company that we know directly causes this disease is merging with a medical company that treats [the same] disease. This is a very, very dark business."

Dr. Means also pointed out that the scientific evidence of all the harm that is being done to us and what is happening in the world on a daily basis is being kept from us. So, the desire to have cheaper, easier-to-grow food has eventually evolved into the direct poisoning of people with pesticides.

This is not only in terms of cancer but also in terms of children, who are reaching adolescence at an ever younger age because their bodies are being damaged by chemicals that disrupt their hormones. Current American statistics show that girls are reaching adolescence as much as 6 years earlier than girls who lived in 1900.
