Actual cancer is caused by a combination of hereditary and environmental factors. There are other kinds of cancers that affect human beings. These cancers remain unseen. They won't prove themselves in a lump or a growth, but that doesn't mean that they don't exist.

Abuse is like a cancer; rape is like a cancer; addiction is like a cancer; incest is like a cancer; bulimia is like a cancer. Surely, there are many others, but this is simply an overview; addressing just some of these so called cancers is sufficient for the time being.

The so called cancers that I have listed: abuse, rape, addiction, incest and bulimia, may be passed from generation to generation or perhaps through someone from outside the family. Haven't you heard? His Daddy did it and his Daddy's Daddy did it and his Daddy's Daddy's Daddy did it and so on.

On the other hand, you may know of someone with an eating disorder, but not a single member in her family has this disorder. Her disease may have been acquired through a close friend or perhaps she is trying to live up to the media's expectations.

The way to cut out cancers is by cutting generational ties. First one needs to know the difference between good generational ties and bad ones. For instance: Grandma makes good apple pies; mother makes good apples, so this recipe is passed on from woman to woman--worth inheriting.

On the other hand, Grandma was verbally belittled; mother was verbally belittled. What happens to the next daughter? She cuts the cancer of verbal abuse by affirming her own daughter and breaking the pattern.

There are many examples that may be given, regarding inheriting so called cancers, but rather than going through all of them, it is better to grasp the underlying message: DNA makes up who we are. We are predisposed to
certain diseases because of our inherited DNA.

Let's take a moment and search within ourselves, to figure out what else we are inheriting in our DNA...that is, what sort of behavioral patterns; we should not bring children into the world until we have had a DNA check: from generation to generation to generation, but who cuts out the cancer?
