EVERY CHILD ALIVE TODAY, WILL GET CANCER IN THEIR LIFETIME

Modern urban lifestyles—dominated by digital devices, processed foods, chemical exposure, and stress—are quietly but steadily paving the way for a future where every child faces the risk of cancer. Contrasts this with a slower, simpler, rural way of living rooted in nature, tradition, and awareness, where healing and prevention are woven into daily life. At its core, the piece is a stark warning: if parents don’t consciously choose a natural, grounded path, they are unconsciously choosing disease for their children.

INTRODUCTION

This is a conversation between Madhukar, a simple man, and a group of concerned parents. They sit under a tree, thinking about their children's future and health.

Madhukar doesn’t offer comfort or hope. He offers truth.

He tells them something they don’t want to hear:

“That every child alive today will get cancer in their lifetime.”

Not because of genes or bad luck, but because of how we live—the food, air, water, homes, chemicals, and stress that surround us.

This dialogue isn’t meant to scare for the sake of fear.

It’s meant to open eyes, ask real questions, and push parents to look deeper and act while they still can.

It is a mirror.

SECTION I – THE PREMISE

Madhukar:

Do your children look healthy?

Parent 1:

Yes, they do.

Madhukar:

Do you think they'll stay that way?

Parent 2:

We hope so. We take care of them.

Madhukar:

When you were young, didn't your parents think the same?

Parent 3:

Yes, of course.

Madhukar:

Then why does every adult now have some disease — blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid, allergies, arthritis?

Parent 1:

Maybe it's just age.

Madhukar:

It's not age. It's the way we live now. I'm telling you something directly. Every child alive today will get cancer at some point in their life.

Parent 2:

Every child?

Madhukar:

Yes.

Parent 3:

But they are fine now. Healthy.

Madhukar:

So were you when you were young. Disease doesn't show up immediately. It builds slowly.

Parent 1:

Isn't cancer being found more now because of better detection?

Madhukar:

That's what the industry wants you to believe. Whether it's detected early or late — cancer is cancer. The patient still suffers.

Parent 2:

Why would every child get it?

Madhukar:

Tell me one thing your child uses daily that doesn't have chemicals — food, soap, clothes, toys, air, water, walls, floors, screens.

Parent 3:

It's hard to avoid all that. We live in the city.

Madhukar:

Yes, it's hard. But cancer doesn't care. It doesn't care whether you tried. It just grows.

Parent 1:

But surely not everyone will get cancer?

Madhukar:

Do you know any old person now who has no health issues at all? It's the same with children — they'll grow up in the same world, only worse.

Parent 2:

That's a very dark way of seeing things.

Madhukar:

It's not dark. It's just real. You love your children, but the world doesn't care. Unless you live completely differently, they will suffer just like you — or worse.

Parent 3:

What should we do?

Madhukar:

You'll have to change everything. Food, home, lifestyle, thinking.

Otherwise, this world will eat them alive, one chemical at a time.

---

SECTION II – THE CAUSE

Parent 1:

You said every child will get cancer in their lifetime. But what exactly is causing it?

Madhukar:

Everything around them. The world they are growing up in.

Parent 2:

Like what?

Madhukar:

Let’s start with food. What are your children eating?

Parent 3:

Normal food. Biscuits, snacks, fruits, some vegetables, milk...

Madhukar:

Biscuits and snacks are full of chemicals. Even fruits and vegetables are sprayed with pesticides. Milk is processed and packaged. The soil has lost its life. The food has lost its strength.

Parent 1:

But we can't grow our own food.

Madhukar:

That’s why your child will get cancer. You are completely dependent on poisoned systems.

Parent 2:

What about the air?

Madhukar:

Polluted. Not just outside — inside your home too. Room fresheners, mosquito repellents, scented soaps, cleaning sprays, incense sticks — all releasing toxins. Every breath is becoming a risk.

Parent 3:

We never thought about it that way.

Madhukar:

You were not supposed to think. You were supposed to consume. That’s how the system works.

Parent 1:

Okay. But what about water?

Madhukar:

Same story. Tap water is polluted. Packaged water is full of microplastics. Water purifiers remove minerals. What’s left? A dead liquid that doesn’t nourish the body.

Parent 2:

So even clean-looking water is dangerous?

Madhukar:

Yes. It just looks clean. That’s the trap.

Parent 3:

And the body-care products?

Madhukar:

Creams, powders, shampoos, soaps — all full of hormone disruptors and carcinogens. Especially dangerous for children. Skin absorbs everything.

Parent 1:

What about screens and devices?

Madhukar:

More danger. Radiation, poor posture, sleep disturbance, addiction, mental stress — all of which reduce immunity and damage the body slowly. Screen time is poison time.

Parent 2:

So it’s everything?

Madhukar:

Yes. The food, the air, the water, the home, the school, the clothes, the noise, the screens, the stress. It’s not one thing. It’s everything together, all the time.

Parent 3:

But we grew up with some of this too.

Madhukar:

Not like this. Not this level. Not this speed. Not this intensity. What was occasional for you is daily for your child.

Parent 1:

So we are watching them walk into disease?

Madhukar:

Yes. And they will suffer — not because you didn’t love them — but because you trusted a world that never cared.

---

SECTION III – THE SYSTEM

Parent 2:

If all this is true, why doesn’t the government do something?

Madhukar:

Because the government is not here to protect you. It is here to protect itself.

Parent 1:

But there are laws, safety rules, health departments...

Madhukar:

And yet, every product that harms you is legal. Every company that poisons your child is allowed to advertise. Every food label is a lie in fine print.

Parent 3:

Then who is running this?

Madhukar:

Corporates, industries, medical systems, media. And the government sits between them, taking money from all sides.

Parent 2:

What about doctors? Aren’t they helping?

Madhukar:

Some may want to help. But most work inside the same system. They treat disease, not causes. They give pills, not solutions.

Parent 1:

But what if we catch cancer early?

Madhukar:

Early or late — it’s still cancer. What’s the point of catching a fire early if you keep adding fuel to it every day?

Parent 3:

So medical technology doesn’t help?

Madhukar:

It helps industries. It creates new machines, new scans, new treatments. But no reduction in disease. No reversal. Just more dependency.

Parent 2:

But we trust science.

Madhukar:

Then look at the data. More hospitals, more cancer. More research, more disease. If science was solving it, we would see results by now.

Parent 1:

Then what do they do?

Madhukar:

They give hope. Sell fear. Confuse people. Make you believe you are helpless without them.

Parent 3:

Are you saying the system is why our children will suffer?

Madhukar:

Yes. And if you keep depending on it, you are part of that system.

Parent 2:

So what should we do?

Madhukar:

Step out. Stop obeying. Stop consuming blindly. Stop trusting blindly. Start thinking. Start living differently.

---

SECTION IV – THE FALSE HOPES

Parent 1:

But aren’t there solutions coming? Like vaccines, AI, gene therapy?

Madhukar:

No. These are distractions.

Parent 2:

But what if technology finally finds a cure?

Madhukar:

It won’t. Technology is not made to stop disease. It is made to create new markets. AI, gene editing, lab-grown food—they don’t heal. They trap.

Parent 3:

AI can detect cancer early though.

Madhukar:

Yes. It will detect it early. And then what? Sell you treatments. Scare you. Push you into more stress, more tests, more expenses. While the real causes continue.

Parent 1:

What about awareness campaigns?

Madhukar:

If awareness worked, cancer would have gone down by now. Every year is “Cancer Awareness Month.” And every year cancer goes up.

Parent 2:

People say things are improving.

Madhukar:

They are not. They are just shifting. Some cancers come earlier. Some later. But total number is always rising. And more types are being added.

Parent 3:

What about supplements or organic food?

Madhukar:

Even organic is no longer safe. The soil is ruined. The air is dirty. The rain carries chemicals. You can't fix a poisoned world by changing a label.

Parent 1:

Isn’t that too hopeless?

Madhukar:

What is hope if it’s based on lies? False hope delays action. It keeps people lazy. It tells them someone else will fix it. But no one is coming.

Parent 2:

Then what should we believe?

Madhukar:

In your own effort. In simplicity. In taking full control of your life. No screens, no junk, no shortcuts, no blind faith. Just quiet, honest living.

Parent 3:

But most people won’t do that.

Madhukar:

That’s why most people—and their children—will suffer. This is not about most. This is about you.

---

SECTION V – WHAT CAN BE DONE?

Parent 1:

So is there any way out?

Madhukar:

Yes. But it’s not easy. You’ll have to change everything you think is normal.

Parent 2:

Like what?

Madhukar:

Start with food. Stop buying packets. Eat what grows around you, in season, without chemicals. Grow something yourself, even if small.

Parent 3:

That’s hard in the city.

Madhukar:

Then leave the city. Or reduce your dependence. You can’t have full health and full comfort together.

Parent 1:

What about water?

Madhukar:

Use the simplest, cleanest source you can find. Store it in clay or metal. Avoid plastic. Don’t rely only on purifiers. Reconnect with tradition.

Parent 2:

And air?

Madhukar:

Stay near trees. Ventilate your home. Avoid synthetic smells. No incense, perfumes, sprays, air fresheners.

Parent 3:

Children need school, social life.

Madhukar:

They need to be safe, clean, strong first. A sick child cannot learn.

Parent 1:

And medicine?

Madhukar:

Use modern medicine for emergencies only. For everyday health, rely on food, rest, sun, water, herbs, movement, silence.

Parent 2:

And technology?

Madhukar:

Limit screens. No phones for children. No TV in background. Let them be bored. That builds strength.

Parent 3:

What about stress?

Madhukar:

Simplify your life. Earn less, need less, spend more time with your child. Modern life is not made for humans. You have to step out.

Parent 1:

Will this prevent cancer completely?

Madhukar:

Nothing is guaranteed. But you can reduce risk. You can build resilience. And even if they suffer, they’ll suffer less.

Parent 2:

Most will call this extreme.

Madhukar:

Let them. Most are walking into disease with eyes open. Let them laugh. Let them doubt. Don’t let that stop you from saving your child.

Parent 3:

So this is the way?

Madhukar:

It’s not *the* way. It’s *a* way. A path of awareness, not fear. Only a brave parent can walk it.

---

SECTION VI – THE ENDING

Parent 1:

So, in the end… what are you really trying to say?

Madhukar:

Don’t assume your child is safe just because you love them. This world doesn’t care about your love. It responds only to your actions.

Parent 2:

But it’s too much. We can’t change everything overnight.

Madhukar:

You don’t have time. Cancer doesn’t wait. Every day your child eats, breathes, watches poison—the risk grows.

Parent 3:

Isn’t that too harsh?

Madhukar:

Truth is harsh. But silence is worse.

Parent 1:

What if we try and still lose?

Madhukar:

Then you tried. Most don’t. Trying with awareness beats living blind with comfort.

Parent 2:

What if others laugh at us?

Madhukar:

Let them. They won’t laugh when they’re sitting in a hospital.

Parent 3:

What’s the guarantee?

Madhukar:

No guarantees in life. But doing nothing guarantees suffering.

Parent 1:

What if no one believes this?

Madhukar:

Let them wait. Life will teach them.

Parent 2:

Final message?

Madhukar:

You have one job:

Raise your child so they can escape the future the world has planned.

It takes honesty. bravery.

Not comfort. Not convenience.

Parent 3:

We’re just parents. What can we do?

Madhukar:

Change your life. Become self‑reliant. Return to natural living. Reduce the harm. Walk away from the trap.

Or wait.

And watch.

EPILOGUE

The conversation ended in silence. The parents looked at Madhukar—some fearful, some angry, all shaken. Children played nearby, unaware.

Madhukar said:

“You have one choice: stay in this world as it is and watch your child become another victim, or leave it—step away, choose silence over noise, nature over machines, awareness over convenience.

No promise of success. No guarantee you can outrun the poison. You may still lose.

But you will not lose by trying.

The greatest crime is doing nothing, trusting that someone else will fix this.

Your child deserves more than that.

That is your duty—and your fight.”

He walked away, leaving the parents to sit with their choice.
