Tumour

 Tumour 

I asked Google: can a tumour survive without a host?

A.I. didn't need time to reply🙂

Quote:

No, a tumor cannot survive on its own without a host. Cancer cells are parasitic; they do not have the complex biological systems required to independently extract nutrients, regulate temperature, or expel waste. If the host dies, the tumor cells quickly perish as well.

Why Tumors Cannot Survive 

IndependentlyReliance on Blood Supply: Tumors cannot create their own circulatory systems from scratch. They rely heavily on hijacking the host's existing blood vessels (a process called angiogenesis) to pump vital oxygen and glucose to the tumor.Energy 

Needs: Cancer cells have a voracious appetite. When removed from the host's tissue and deprived of a steady stream of nutrients, they generally die within minutes to hours.

Extracellular Matrix: Like all human cells, tumor cells need a specific, stable environment (temperature, pH levels, chemical balances) that only the host body provides.

The Only Exception: Laboratory CulturesThe only way a tumor can "survive" outside of a living host is in a specialized laboratory setting. Scientists can extract cancer cells and place them in petri dishes containing a nutrient-rich chemical "culture medium."While these cells can multiply and "live" indefinitely in a lab (the most famous example being the HeLa cell line taken in 1951), they still require constant human maintenance, precise temperatures, and daily feeding to stay alive

So, a ‘healthy' body simply shows a placard at its door to the tumour “No food, we are closed for today. Sorry for the inconveniences 🙏”  And the virus keeps checking for food daily 😜….

Only when it comes to the tumour called FEAR ( in our minds), we don't know how to stop supplying it with its ‘feed’ .  It takes different shapes to keep its supply_chain on👍. Call it desire, anger, hatred or resistance 🙏

( My own conviction: if I can manage to avoid fear in all its forms, I am set_free 😜)

Fearfully yours,
