| MICHAEL DOUGLAS |
Things happen around us on a daily
basis which we may or may not know the cause. Just yesterday, Michael Douglas
an American actor and producer opened up about his past diagnosis, revealing
that oral sex, not smoking or drinking, caused his type of throat cancer.
In a candid new interview with U.K.'s
The Guardian, Douglas admits that his illness was caused by the human
papillomavirus (HPV).
Douglas, fought a six-month battle
with the disease from August 2010 until January 2011, also confessed that he
thought his battle with cancer would be a fatal one. He said at first he
assumed the stress from his son Cameron's legal troubles played a big factor in
his sickness.
"I did worry if the stress
caused by my son's incarceration didn't help trigger it. But yeah, it's a
sexually transmitted disease that causes cancer," Douglas, who is married
to Catherine Zeta-Jones, notes. "And if you have it, cunnilingus is also
the best cure for it."
According to the Oral Cancer
Foundation, one tract of HPV -- known as HPV16 -- is known to be linked to oral
cancer, manifesting itself in the back regions of the throat and mouth. Douglas
admits he suffered through toothaches and other oral infections for nine months
before discovering his diagnosis.
This is yet another sermon, can oral sex really cause throat cancer?
