Cancer is merely a class of diseases caused by the unchecked or uncontrolled growth of healthy cells. If these people think they are so smart in predicting your death date and parting you from your money, why aren't they taking it a step further? Like being PROACTIVE...

If they claim to be able to see it before hand then surely they can stop it at the source before it happens... right? Oh but they can't... because the causes are to numerous to actually prevent it, therefore far to numerous to actually give an accurate guess at when you will die.

It is a scam and no better than running to a psychic with the same question. They just have science on their side which will attract those who would laugh at going to a psychic but it boils down to the same thing.

It is not a scam and 100% legit. Yes, certain cancers arise from spontaneous mutations, but many are the result of genetic predisposition, passed down to you from your parents.

Of course, it doesn't mean you WILL get such a disease, but it means you are XX% more likely to and so you could change your lifestyle accordingly if there was evidence that whatever you are predisposed to get is affected by changing XYZ.

For example if you were predisposed to develop Alzheimers, would you carry on smoking pot when there is evidence that pot smokers predisposed for Alzheimers develop symptoms much earlier in life (10 years) than non-pot smokers?
