I believe to a certain extent it may be helpful to wonder "why" at least as far as the science is concerned. If chemical balances in the body can make a difference in response to treatment, then they may play a role in the formation of cancer also; and vice-versa. I believe we owe it to ourselves and those that follow to at least explore those ideas as we are able (and as we are interested)? I know I have a different vantage point than many, and that is why I stress only as able and interested...
