On causes & prevention of cancer

According to a very popular and widespread, but untrue, belief, cancer and other disease can't survive in a properly alkalized and oxygenated body.

Cancer growth slows down only at extreme alkaline levels, attainable only by extreme measures such as cesium (and even that has only a moderate success rate in reversing cancer). Alkalinity PREVENTS MOST types of cancer, but others may be promoted by excessive alkalinity. Oxygenation tends to kill a portion of cancer cells but not all, but I can hardly recall a case of cancer healed solely thru oxygenation (though I'm sure it happens), but I do believe in oxygen therapies as 1 part of a treatment protocol for cancer.

What makes one's body unfriendly to cancer and other disease?

"Unfriendly" (rather than completely immune) to cancer is the key word.
The single biggest factors I can think of are oxygenation, circulation, immunity, sufficient pancreatic enzymes, optimal digestion, antioxidants, nutrition, detoxification, low omega-6 and blood-sugar levels, dental health, clean colon, psychological factors, healthy liver, sunlight, sleep, and many other factors.

With regard to other disease, there are thousands of factors (the things above being predominant), but no one or two factors that all disease "can't survive" in. Alkalinity does tend to prevent many diseases, though some are caused by excessive alkalinity (including some leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, melanoma [Kelley/Gonzalez]).
