My sister died from leukaemia at age 14. Wish we had this SCIENCE decades ago instead of blessings and prayers. Science can't fix everything, but at least it can explain how wrongfully reactionary we are regarding our health. Hopefully this will give prevention a dramatic push forward.

If this theory is true, we should see a spike in the prevalence of young patient's diagnosed with leukemia in correlation to the precautions in place for Covid19?

Two of my three children have been diagnosed with ALL. The first when she was 2.5 years old (now 19), and the second when he was 16 (now 17 and going through treatments). Our third child was born in June of this year (2018). I would *really* like to get in touch with Mr. Greaves if at all possible. I'd like some more specifics about what we can do to either identify whether or not our third child is at risk or what we can do to actively work to prevent any further occurrence of Leukemia in our family.

Natural immunity is known to prevent cancer. www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0361090X06000043

Hi Neil, My Daughter is also under going ALL treatments, she is 2.5 when it detected

[@waalteer]

This is awesome!

[@thomshere]

Thank you and God Bless you and your wonderful work. :)

[@amartyasensei1129]

amazing!

This is why childhood virus diseases is important to get as children. Your immune doesn't just fight the diseases like measels but also whatever is in your body that shouldn't be there.

Unfortunate music background, obscuring important bits of information the professor is trying to reveal on such an important topic!

[@maximpulse]

Turning on the Closed Captions (CC) helped me catch every word. Plus his soft voice and accent can make it harder to understand. He does have a funny accent (probably his parents' fault), but then, not everyone can speak perfectly like me!

1 in 2000 seems high to me. My wife is still breastfeeding at 14 months, she plans to breast feed till he is 2 years of age. He eats meat,fish, eggs or raw dairy with every meal plus small amounts of veg/fruit. Everything is cooked in lard, tallow, duck fat or butter. We also give him cod liver oil twice a week. I wish i could afford all his food to be organic but i cant afford this. He has had no medical interventions, he is smart, happy and robust.

I follow Weston Price type diet as well and am still breastfeeding my 2.5 yr old whom also has had no medical interventions. However, at 17 mos he was diagnosed with ALL despite a very healthy lifestyle. There are so many things in our environment these days and we can't avoid them. It is scary when you try so hard to create a healthy lifestyle yet these things still happen. I believe his good diet and care has helped him though, as he is doing very well through treatment (which is 2.5 years for leukemia). It is still worth the effort to supply a natural, healthy upbringing. Keep feeding your baby well and getting him those healthy fats and tell him everyday how much you love him! Take care!

Is leukaemia ever linked to radiation?

[@Foozefighter]

Hi, i had childhood leukaemia at the age of 3 to 4 years old (1989-1990, strange thing is that i was diagnosed a few months after moving into a temporary house and after moving to a new house and weekly checkup and blood transfusion my mom (my mom was a nursing sister) and dad was told but there is nothing wrong with me, my mom got very angry and thought they were joking or mixing up my files, but my mom and my dad took the good news and went home with me. I was never told anything about this, but i started to remember my illness because of the trauma those needles gave me, my mom and dad told me not to worry or question it because i was healed with prayer ... i mean ... what? this makes no sense. I hope someone can fill me in on what happened to me.

PREVENTION.

Can the infections triggering the Leukemia arise from the mother refusing to Breastfeeding? Lack of breastfeeding lowers immunity

[@Raddy_N]

I doubt it, my daughter was diagnosed with ALL and she was breastfed almost exclusively

[@MrConformation]

A clean or dirty environment? It's been known for 100 years... The 3 main Mental, Spiritual, Emotional and Physical conditions that permit a state of cancer. 1, De-oxygenation, 2, Internal cellular fermentation & 3, Internal cellular acidification.

[@lewisb.sckolnick9103]

My childhood friend died from leukemia at age five as she became ill shortly after drinking her father's automotive cleaning fluid. Professor Greaves seems to forget about breast feeding and its positive benefits to a child's immune system.

[@pauladuarte781]

He discusses protracted breast feeding somewhere around 2:12 - 2:19 in the video. He didn't forget. Maybe you couldn't hear because the music is too loud? Or you didn't pay attention?

[@lewisb.sckolnick9103]

That should have been at the start

[@pauladuarte781]

It was in the "what parents can do to prevent" section.

[@mmbraovic]

@@lewisb.sckolnick9103 That's nothing but your personal opinion.

[@therespectedlex9794]

Drinking automotive cleaning fluid doesn't sound very healthy.
