Today yet another classmate was buried after dying from cancer. As a result I felt compelled to write and share more things I have learned on my nutrition journey.
Here is more proof that "modern" medicine is losing the battle with cancer. http://yourlife.usatoday.com/health/medical/story/2011/04/Study-Prostate-cancer-test-doesnt-cut-death-risk---/45658684/1?csp=34news&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+usatoday-NewsTopStories+%28News+-+Top+Stories%29&utm_content=My+Yahoo
Big Pharm and doctors would have you believe otherwise, but the numbers speak for themselves! They are not close to a cure. It is time to try something other than burning people with radiation and filling them with cancer-causing chemo. American Cancer Society takes your donations and throws the word "cure" around. They are the richest non-profit organization in the world and if you look at their track record and compare it to their numbers from inception, statistically they are not doing all that great towards that "cure". It is long past time to change direction. Stop focusing so much on finding a cure and start focusing on helping people to improve their lifestyles so they can prevent the development of cancer!
Our bodies are well equipped to stave off so many diseases when it is given the right fuel. There is a reason the cancer numbers are higher in cultures that eat a "Western diet". Our food is killing us. Our environment is killing us.
People laugh and joke about having that fried chicken and slopping on that gravy, but with each mouthful you are pushing yourself closer to the grave and the path to that grave is not a pretty one lined with flowers. The American Cancer Society's approach is like "closing the barn door after the horse is already out." http://world-wire.com/news/1005070002.html
Ever notice how so many things in our society are not a result of forward thinking? The warning signs go up at the railroad crossing only after someone is hit by a train. The "may cause injury" stickers only go on after someone is injured. The "may cause cancer or heart attack" warnings always come too late. The scientists knew the dangers of smoking long before the warnings were put on the packs of cigarettes. Isn't it time for us to change our approach?
Cancer is a systemic problem. It isn't an organ-specific problem. The reason surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy have not been really successful in the treatment of cancer is that cancer is primarily a disease of abnormal body chemistry...chemistry which is controlled by organs that are distant from the site of the cancer (Haught, 1962) There are doctors that knew this in 1962. There were doctors that knew this in 1942. These same doctors were shunned by the medical community and The American Cancer Society and labeled "quacks".
Just think about it...healthcare as we know it is a money train....from the people who manufacture the alcohol pads to the ones that build the robotic equipment used in surgery. If the major diseases of our culture (heart disease, diabetes, and cancer) were cured, what do you think would happen to that train? The problem now is that train is running out of track. Healthcare has become so unaffordable for the masses that people are dying that don't need to die.
I do believe that modern healthcare serves people with acute illness or injury. However, people with chronic illness are doomed to never really getting better until they take conrol of their lives and stop hunting for that magic pill. They need to stop believing that they have to take all those medications for the rest of their lives just because the doctors said so. My doctor told me 20 years ago that I would be taking thyroid medication the rest of my life beause there was no "cure" for metabolic hypothyroidism (vs hypothyroidism caused by surgery or cancer). He was wrong! I have been off the medication for 4 years without any problems. I am off the medication because I changed the fuel I was giving my body and reduced my exposure to environmental toxins. I take supplements to support what I do not get from my food.
Everyone I know has been touched by cancer. They have lost a parent, sibling, child, spouse, or close friend. Many have watched while the radiation burned their skin, the chemo made them sick and brought on other ailments, and have watched them whither away to nothing. For the most part It is not a "good death".
The next time you light that cigarette, drink that pop/soda, eat that piece of fried chicken, or snack on that bag of chips or box of donuts, think about what is happening inside your body. Think about the cascade of illness you are creating in your body.
Stop throwing around the word "cure" and start taking personal responsibility for "prevention"!
