It is arrived at by taking Gilbert's post completely out of context and perspective as anyone can see by reading the original post in the URL http://lists.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet-goanet.org/2006-September/048340.html > In a deliberate attempt to twist Gilbert's post, Santosh has ignored the key paragraph in Gilbert's post which is as follows: > "The current explanation for this (statistical significant) observation is that the surgery depresses the immune system, allowing the tumors to now behave and grow even more aggressively. Hence cancer surgery has undergone and is undergoing significant shift. >From big radical cancer surgery we have turned/flipped and are now into minimal/organ-saving cancer surgery. Laboratory studies on humans show that markers of the immune system are significantly suppressed after major surgery." > The gist of Gilbert's post was that what seemed to the grandmothers to be caused by exposition to air [the spread of cancer], was actually being caused by a suppression of the immune system. However, the grandmothers had no way of knowing this, leading to their kaneos. >
