Cancer

      Today, again, another facebook posting.  A friend posted a picture of this beautiful young girl.  She is bald with a huge smile on her face.  She has cancer.  The post asks us to like and share if you want cancer to go away.  I wish it was that easy!  My mother had uterine cancer, breast cancer and lung cancer.  It is a very difficult thing to go through.   The thing that bothers, though, is that it will never go away until we stop the pollution of our foods.  Our government knows........that they are allowing these food companies to put chemicals and crap into our products.  They won't stop it!  So....how will cancer end?
      We bike, walk, jog and run for funds to put a stop to cancer and help in research.  We have remembered our dead.  What good is the research to do if they don't stop polluting us.  They will come up with another chemical that counter acts the first one that gave us cancer.  STOP putting it in our food and products.  My niece shared with me that she knew a young woman (28) that died of cancer.  They think it was from her acne products she used.  What?  Are you kidding me?  When is enough, enough?  Just stop producing it!  It's rather simple.  Find another source of income.  Murder isn't a great option.
      As long as the companies have permission to use and produce there products and we consume them, we will have cancer.  They will find a drug or chemical that will inhibit the cancer but at what cost to us.  There will be side affects of that one too.  They will just be making more money off of us being sick.    I don't mean to be so cynical about it.  I am angry about it.  The only way it will STOP is if we send them a clear message that we don't want there products.  Find healthy alternatives.  Stopping there money flow is the only way they will change.  They will make what you buy.  Stop buying it.  Hurt there pocket book one person at a time, one wallet, one life at a time!
      Buying all your produce, eggs, dairy and meats from local organic farmers is the best way you can stop consuming the processed food poison.  This will keep your money at home in your own town.  You will be investing in an agricultural business and helping a family run operation.  If this isn't possible, shop organic in your grocery stores and stay on the outside perimeter and buy only fresh items.  Grocery stores put all the processed foods in the middle isles.  Staying away from them is a great way to start.  In some areas there are farmers markets and some farms do a co-op option.  You pay them so much a month and you can come and get produce from them that you have already paid for.  I am sure there are all kinds of different ways we can change the make up of how we do business.  Maybe you know a friend that gardens or has chickens.  You could work something out with them.  Keep it real close to home.  Maybe even start a garden or co-plant with a friend who has a yard.  It will help build friendships, get exercise, fresh air and learn an new skill. 
      These things have been heavy on my heart and I think it's time to stand up and draw a line in the sand.  We can make changes and make a difference.  One choice, one garden or farm at a time!

Feel good about what you eat,
Debra

  1. I have been thinking so much about this subject. We spend so much energy, time and money on coming up with a cure for cancer but we aren't dealing with the reason we are getting it. We are being contaminated from poisons being put in our products. We walk, run, bike for a cure but are we any closer? I think we need to go after the cause of cancer. We need to go after the manufactures of these poisons and stop them from producing them. Don't allow them to put it into our food and products. Let's go to the root of the problem. Stop it where it starts. The treatments for cancer will be costly on us and the medicines have consequences of there own. I have also been thinking about the fact that maybe we aborted our genius that would come up with the cure. Genius's don't come along everyday! How do we know which one it will be?
