When did the epidemic start and why?
The cancer epidemic started around 1950, and only affects industrialised countries.
Here you can see the epidemic in Japan starting at a definite point in time, and you can also see the way in which the epidemic can sky-rocket.
A similar pattern exists in other industrialised countries. The connection of water pipes to AC power was thought to reduce the risk of fire, and therefore fire insurance claims. It also greatly increased the risk of electrocution.

One type of ion in water is hydrogen. This occurs naturally as an hydronium ion, but the number of hydrogen ions can be greatly increased by the addition of chlorine. Chlorine added to water produces hydrochloric acid which dissociates to form hydrogen ions.
In Venezuela water chlorination was increased around 1991 to control an outbreak of cholera. Here we can see the increase in cancer deaths post-1991, which fall well outside the range of the pre-1990 rates.
Adding chlorine, in making water acid, can also be expected to increase heart failure death rates as the lowered pH is adjusted.

This is an important concept to grasp: that heart failure and cancer have the same environmental cause. One way of looking at it is to say that heart problems precede cancer as the body tries to protect itself by using cholesterol, which would ordinarily suffice for protection against a short term problem, but the continued onslaught of damaging ions and radicals leads to heart problems and then to cancer as the cholesterol fails to provide complete protection.
Here we can see the pronounced increase in heart failure starting around 1991. There can be very little doubt, when looking at the heart failure graph, that the effect is serious and immediate.
It also illustrates the way in which the heart failure and cancer epidemics are related and have common environmental causes and are not separate diseases.

Heart failure and cancer by health board areas.
The parallel incidence of heart disease and cancer can be further demonstrated by the following graph showing the rates of cancer and heart failure for District Health Boards (DHBs) in the North Island of New Zealand:
Again the parallel incidence continues to be clear.
The % of people over the age of 65 (where known) has been added to demonstrate that the parallel incidence of heart and cancer is much stronger than any relationship to age. I think we all know that cancer, at least, doesn't seem to be too picky when it comes to the age of its victims.

Summary.
We are led to believe that cancer and heart failure are completely different "diseases." I hope the above research has called this into question. We are also led to believe that cancer is getting worse, that it's related to age, or diet, or exercise, or your grandmother's genes. These misconceptions miss the point that the cancer epidemic is quite specific to an environmental change unique to post-war industrialised countries.
The cancer epidemic has a defined starting point, and case study epidemiology suggests that the epidemic can be reversed by electrically isolating power and water supplies.
Similarly, the heart failure epidemic can be reversed by buffering.

In some countries cancer and heart death rates have levelled off. Two reasons for these reductions are;
(i) better control of residual chlorine and pH adjustment, and
(ii) replacement of older metal water pipes with plastic.

(ii) replacement of older metal water pipes with plastic.
Here in New Zealand, the city of Auckland is one such with a reduction in rates. In the period 1992 - 2004 heart failures reduced around 40% and cancer deaths reduced around 20%.
The reduction in the amount of conductive water pipe parallels cancer death reductions over this period. The heart failure graph crosses over and falls below that of cancer.
Hydrogen in water.
Hydrogen ions exist as hydronium, H3O+, rather than H+, by forming bonds with the water molecules around them. The H - O bonds at the core of the hydronium ions are stronger than the H - O bonds between adjacent water molecules.
Where to from here?
The causes of both epidemics relate to systems which are regulated by statute, and to change those statutes requires an admission that the laws controlling the adjustment of pH and the grounding of powerlines to water pipes are both faulty.
This is unlikely to happen. What is more likely is that services engineers can be persuaded to work quietly away to achieve the required changes over a period of time, by using buffering and by replacing metal pipe with plastic. In time both epidemics will fade away without any acknowledgement of fault, or risk of liability.
So remedial work is likely to be incremental.

There is, however, no reason why we cannot look after ourselves in the meantime by finding an alternative safe water supply.
One way of doing this is by deionising water by the process of distillation. Distilled water absorbs carbon dioxide and reaches equilibrium with carbonic acid. The carbonic acid is a good buffer and makes the deionised water suitable for drinking.

The status of ions and radicals as disease causing needs to be on a par with bacteria and viruses. They are a normal part of the environment but in some circumstances are associated with illness because of an environmental change, a man-made change, which creates an effect which would not otherwise occur.
The notion that cancer is related to EMF is incorrect: the causal process doesn't involve cellular change due to electromagnetic radiation but does involve cellular change ionically.
I hope in reading this that you are sufficiently motivated to stop drinking tap water. There is a self help link above for water distillation, and I will add more on other alternatives when I can.
The cause of the cancer epidemic is in this glass. The water is tap water, and is responsible for one third of all deaths in the industrialised world.
Tap water is unfit to drink because of two interactive factors related to the building services of water and electricity supplies.
First, reticulated water pH is adjusted and causes heart failure by the production of cholesterol.
Secondly, metal water pipes are connected to power lines.

Secondly, metal water pipes are connected to power lines.
To understand why, we need to look back to the cholera epidemics of the mid 1800s. These were caused by bacteria from sewage getting into water supplies, and it was found convenient to kill those bacteria by dosing with chlorine. However, chlorine makes water acid and has the effect of corroding metal water pipes. Adding lime to make the water alkaline prevents this corrosion.
A side effect of adjusting water pH by adding lime is to force an increase in cholesterol leading to ischaemic heart failure, which is heart failure by oxygen starvation. So the cancer epidemic is preceded by the heart failure epidemic, which began around the beginning of the 1900s and continues today. The heart failure epidemic, like cancer, is also responsible for one third of all deaths.
Around 1950 it became mandatory in industrialised countries to connect water pipes to power lines. This connection is made by a brass link between the earth and neutral bus bars inside meterboards. This has the effect of ionising metal water pipes, and altering the ions formed by pH adjustment by giving them a negative charge and creating radicals.

A recent example of the cancer epidemic starting.

When these hydronium ions pass through water pipes connected to electric power lines, the ions are subjected to negative ionisation because alternating current power lines will always negatively ionise.
When water has it's pH adjusted with lime, some of the lime combines with carbon dioxide in the water to form calcium carbonate. As the pH approaches 6.5 this forms carbonic acid. This partially goes to carbonate and hydronium ions as the pH is further adjusted towards 8.5 and becomes significantly alkaline.
It seems likely that an hydronium ion would receive an electron as a result of this process and become an hydronium radical. It would then have a neutral charge but behave as if negatively charged. It would also be far more damaging in relation to DNA replication leading to cancer.
Reversing the epidemics
Changes need to be made to two related building services.
First, reticulated water pH needs to be buffered rather than adjusted. Buffering substitutes of a strong acid with a weak one, keeps the pH within a range which is not harmful to life and avoids the production of hydronium. Sodium bicarbonate would be a suitable alternative to lime.
Secondly, power lines need to be isolated from ground and water pipes.
Cancer workbook for secondary schools
I have recently published a manual for senior secondary school pupils which covers the chemical and electrical processes of ionisation and includes an exercise in predicting heart failure rates using only pH and conductive pipe lengths as the variables. The title is "Cancer, Heart Failure and what you can teach your teacher." ISBN 978-0-473-15543-8. Please email me for further information.
