...what is happening to the individual at that time? What's really going on? Because there is a lack of blood flow, the cells go into a kind of a frenzy to keep themselves alive. And within about 5 min. or so they start to damage or change. After an hour or so the damage is so great that even if we restart the heart again and pump blood, the person can no longer be viable, because the cells have just been changed too much.

Mortality for certain cancers has decreased slightly in the past few years, but the incidence of cancers has not. With more than 100,000 chemicals and formula combinations on the consumer market and less than 5% evaluated for cancer-causing potential, it is past time for identifying chemical and environmental carcinogens.
