Have you ever tried to figure out the reason people have cancer? This concern could be coming from the knowledge that cancer is increasingly taking lives.
In the quest to identify why cancer cases are increasing, I found a mental shift that is responsible.
Research References
As we dive into this piece, permit me to highlight that I will be referencing the bible.
Trust me, I will also reference scientific research works just so you know what the truth is.
Indeed, in the past couple of years, the number of cancer cases and deaths has continued to increase.
Some persons say it is the presence of the social media and easy access to information that are making it appear like here is a massive rise.
Well, people like me disagree with this school of thought and here is why.
Indeed, there is a rise in the amount of information and content we receive daily on issues like this. However, one thing is glaring – life expectancy is decreasing in some countries.
Before now, people get to 80 years, still strong enough to go to the farm.
But 80 years appears to be a luxury now.
Amidst the causes of death, cancer is taking a prominent place.
Really, I have seen people who believe in God come down with cancer and one will wonder, did God not know that the individual had cancer to heal him or her?
While everyone may not be able to get to that level of faith where they can overcome cancer, God had made a way.
Causes Of Cancer
Cancer occurs when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in the body. The causes of cancer include:
- Genetics: Some people inherit genes that increase their risk of cancer.
- Lifestyle Choices: Smoking, poor diet, and lack of exercise contribute to cancer development.
- Environmental Factors: Exposure to harmful chemicals, radiation, and pollution.
- Aging: As cells grow older, mutations accumulate, increasing the risk of cancer.
For this article, I will zero in on the role of diet as a contributing factor.
The bible says that the thief comes to steal, kill and destroy (John 10:10). This talks about the fact that sickness could come to destroy the body and one of the ways it presents this pursuit is cancer.
Deviation From God
Unfortunately, many are not aware that the devil is the god of this world and the body belongs to the earth.
Really, as far as the spirit of the man possessing the body is not quickened by the Holy Spirit, the body is prone to the devil’s attacks.
But that is not even the reason the devil attacks the body.
The fact is that while some persons say they believe in God and trust Him for their healing, they lay the foundation the devil needs to buffet them with illnesses.
Junks and highly processed foods come with lots of additives that the human body does not understand. So, there is a build up of toxin and the devil uses that as a foundation.
In Psalm 11:3-7 the bible says, if the foundation be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
Here in this scripture lies the reason ‘deviation from God is the reason people get cancer’.
I have seen people who talk down on herbs, asking questions about the dosage, forgetting that these plants were given to humans as food and medicine.
In Genesis 1:29-31; God highlights that the plants are foods.
Again, in Ezekiel 47:12 and Revelations 22:2, God said the leaves of the trees shall be to us as medicine and for the healing of the nations.
But people have moved away from natural foods and are embracing processed foods more and more, destroying the foundation of their body and opening it up for chronic diseases such cancer.
Different studies have showed that processed foods that people jump on have cancer-causing agents.
You can find these claims here, here and here. These foods have come to humans with amazing advertisements that are alluring, making it easy for people to adopt them and get addicted.

A Lack Of Trust In God
Truth is, the more humans walk away from natural foods and herbs, the more they profess their lack of trust in God. This mental shift from nature is deadly.
Or do you not know that the lack of trust in herbs created as medicine for you is a simple way to show your lack of trust or faith in God? Did the devil create any natural plant?
Would it be right to say you have faith in God, yet talk about the plants he created with disdain?
Think about this.
One thing is increasingly becoming glaring – the more man walks away from natural food items, replacing them with processed foods, the more he expresses lack of trust in God, leading to the destruction of the body.
Natural Plant, Fasting And Cancer
The internet is littered with studies that identify cancer-risk-lowering-foods and plants. These are all natural.

According to a study, some compounds in plants are very effective in the treatment of cancer (1).
Also, fasting has been identified to offer positive results.
A study says emerging evidence suggests that fasting could also play a key role in cancer treatment. It fosters conditions that limit cancer cells’ adaptability, survival, and growth.
If further recommends combining prolonged periodic fasting with a standard conventional therapeutic approach to promote cancer‐free survival, treatment efficacy and reduce side effects in cancer patients (1) (2).
Also, a joint report by the World Cancer Research Fund and the American Institute for Cancer Research found convincing evidence that a high fruit and vegetable diet would reduce cancers of the mouth and pharynx, esophagus, lung, stomach, and colon and rectum (3).
Why stay away from natural food when they have the nutrients and compounds that will keep you healthy?
The choice is yours to make whether you will draw closer to God and trust His creation to keep you healthy or jump on every processed food while depleting the body and creating the foundation for cancer.
