EXTREMELY interesting!
Now THIS is yet another piece of evidence in support of the thesis
that cancer is N O T due to "random mutation" of DNA, but is due to
purposeful editing of DNA by a pathogen that is out to make an honest
living and propagate its species.
Of course some idiot like ... no, I'll resist the urge to name names...
will tell us that no, it's just random mutation followed by natural
selection. Except THAT only works when the mutation gets spread by
exponential reproduction. And if THAT is happening, we are again saying
that cancer is due to a biological pathogen that REPRODUCES. Because
that finely tuned preparation for angiogenesis keeps showing up in ALL
cancer patients (well, all affected by metastasis and angiogenesis),
not just SOME of them, as would be the case if it were just random
mutations, occurring individually in each new patient.
