We make things so complicated. Thats our nature. I am a novice in Holistic Health but after about 3000 hours in study, there is without doubt in my mind that nothing (NOTHING) matters more than the principles of proper Alkaline/Acid balance. It covers more than anything could ever cover next to oxygen, heat, pressure. It is what keeps us alive and we as Americans have the poorest excuses of all. We are the richest of nations with total choices in foods but we pick the fast, easy, quick garbage that keeps us acidic which is where disease breeds. When we teach this balance and learn to live by them, it will make a difference that no drug company, doctor, health society's, preachers for answered prayers, could imagine. We want the health but we don't really want the answer because it ask's us to give up our normal way of life and commit to others by taking care of ourselves. Need proof, look at nature. When it is feed what the world supplies without money and greed behind it, it lives and thrives. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If we in front of our children take these precautions, our children will learn from our example.&lt;/p&gt;

Cancer takes years to develop and is a complex disease that comes from heredity, a particular state of mind, years of suppression of natural desires and it involves a trigger - usually either a massive poisoning or a life event that causes severe distress and shock, leaving the person struggling and in conflict for a long time - time during which a tumore can develop and appear.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The main trigger for secondary appearance of cancers mis-named &amp;quot;metastases&amp;quot; is the diagnosis shock itself - the death sentence coming out of the blue at the person AND the toxic onslaught of cancer-causing treatments, suppressive surgery and further tests and shocking diagnoses which deplete the already weakened system and block the possibility of recovery.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The BEST SOLUTION to prevent and cure cancer, is to understand the disease better and to understand the significance of all existing approaches for its healing. Some help the body heal, others can be curative. MOST successful curative approaches have been driven underground by the medical system and the drug companies because they are simple, effective and do not make money for big pharma.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Those brave enough and trusting enough to look into this well kept secret for optimum health, will reap the benefits and live long in good health, with or without cancerous tumors. All others will sadly rely on a medical system which no longer has our interests as its main basis for existence, and instead we are just statistics that make money once sick.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Keeping us sick longer is a big money maker, so keeping us ignorant about the simple life solutions to stay healthy is also a main focus. Witness the attempts to limit our access to natural and healthy supplements and nutrients and the witch-hunts to which great minds are subjected behind the scenes so that nobody ever learns about their wonderful discoveries.&lt;/p&gt;

Retrospectively, I can confirm, with little doubt, that my first wife of 45 years of togetherness, and later a daughter aged 45, both died from BC due to their diet.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My first wife and I ate a diet which we were given to understand by the medics and nutritionists to be healthy and it took her life. It was a diet with little meat but consisted of fish, fowl, carbohydrates, fruit and vegetables, and all cooked in those so-called healthy vegetable oils which are now known to be toxic! &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My daughter's diet was convenient processed meals. As a single woman on a low income economy was important and so too was her leisure and preparing meals was a no-no!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Of all the various food items in their diets that were, or may have been harmful, the most potent killer, and there is little doubt to my mind of this, is that of vegetable oils and polyunsaturated fats, &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here is an extract that I quoted previously from the early research being done on organ transplants in the endeavour to discover a potent immune system suppresser. The best substance discovered was an emulsion of polyunsaturated fats and this is what the surgeons observed and discovered from its use:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &amp;quot;So kidney transplant doctors fed their patients linoleic acid. (8) (Linoleic acid is the major polyunsaturated fatty acid in vegetable oils.) But the transplant doctors were then astonished to see how quickly their patients developed cancers: some cancers were up to twenty times as frequent as was expected&amp;quot;. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;An interesting corollary to Dr Mercola's comments.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Having myself been a vegetarian for 18 years on a not dissimilar diet, it ended by having to have an emergency quadruple by-pass. That was 18 years ago. Today, my health and fitness are excellent but only since adopting the low-carbohydrate type diet with animal protein and lashings of saturated fats without vegetable oils and fish or their oils.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For skin moisturizer, I use Organic unrefined coconut oil. &amp;nbsp;It has a light refreshing scent. &amp;nbsp;My dog loves it too. &amp;nbsp;Ha! &amp;nbsp;Organic olive oil works too.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I place raw organic food products on my body whenever possible instead of conventional products. &amp;nbsp;These are the highest quality ingredients available to us.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src="http://articles.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=81261" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: The Coming Cancer Explosion</title><link>http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/12/27/the-coming-cancer-explosion.aspx#81260</link><pubDate>Sat, 27 Dec 2008 16:45:21 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:81260</guid><dc:creator>Susan Calvert</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I take issue with #7 doc, (fresh conventionally grown vegetables are healthier than organic ones that are older and wilted in the grocery store.) &amp;nbsp;If given a choice, I would rather place older organic produce in my body than conventionally grown produce. &amp;nbsp;The chemicals on conventionally grown produce are far worse than older organic produce. &amp;nbsp;How often do you see wilted lettuce in the store anyway? &amp;nbsp;Most grocerers here discard unsightly produce immediately.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Another issue I have is when people tell me to purchase locally grown over organic. &amp;nbsp;Just because it's local, doesn't mean it's organic. &amp;nbsp;Just because it's local, doesn't mean the farmer is not using chemical herbicides, harmful fertilizers, etc. &amp;nbsp;If it isn't organic, you're pretty much guaranteed to be putting chemicals in your body.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I located a local farmer to purchase fresh eggs. &amp;nbsp;The eggs were indeed fresh with the yolks being rich yellow and high. &amp;nbsp;The shelf life is 45 days. &amp;nbsp;However, upon speaking directly with the farmer, I stopped purchasing them. I loved the fact his chickens were free roaming. &amp;nbsp;However, he feeds them conventionally, GMO corn and soybeans. &amp;nbsp;I started purchasing Organic Valley eggs again. &amp;nbsp;I want to help out the local farmers but not at the cost of my health.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;http://www.bioinitiative.org/report/index.htm&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Radiation causes cancer, and whether or not I choose to use a cell phone, cordless phone, or wifi, I&amp;#39;m being irradiated 24/7 by all the towers and antennas surrounding me because others DO use these devices.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lung cancer rates are going up in men? Fewer men smoke today than, say, 50 years ago, yet there are more lung cancer deaths? That makes no sense, so you need to stop blaming cigarettes and foods and everything else when excess radiation could easily explain the cancer explosion.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I say this as someone whose health deteriorated when 3 cell phone antennas were installed on a water tower up the street from me - I watched many of my pets die...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;now maybe some folks could manage to use a volume like that in a year, but i seriously doubt it! the article was a mainstream UK paper as i remember, now a makeup foundation is around 1 0z /30gm average at daily use would be around 2 , maybe 3?? a year,lipstick, hmm weights are bloody hard to find say 5/8 &amp;nbsp;gram, even allowing a lot of aplications you surely couldnt use more than 5 at best! mascara, is in minute containers, hidden in a larger outer casing, if you buy as often as they suggest ie replacing it every 3 months, theres a lot not used!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;skin creams, again most seem to be in average 200ml bottles just under 7 ounces, seriously, how many could a person go through in a year? 16 0z is a pound x that by 5..= 80 oz--sorry the figures are madly exaggerated.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;i do NOT dispute dermal absorbtion in any way, i have had severe issues with skin lesions caused by laundry detergents and body care products myself, but again, we do not absorb the entire gamut of the total load we apply, just a &amp;nbsp;modicum of it in every application. yes cumulative amounts need to be counted, and the pthalates etc are not a by weight but more by air inhaled issue&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;as any woman who has been suckered already knows, that the guff about skin creams penetrating to soften etc,,most molecules are actually TOO big! to penetrate the dermis anyway. external irritation is another thing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and as to the boom in cancer per se, well the &amp;quot;supposed&amp;quot; cure rates of the accepted system are hype and lies. around 10% success rate would be the best, and that would be more luck than anything using big pharmas poisons.again, think about it..the pharmas other branches are the personal care items..they need us to be ill- to peddle their other crap to us!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;the smartest thing you can do for cancer, is really read the info on Dr T Simoncinis web pages, (and his book ). the man deserves a NOBEL Prize, and is, as usual, harassed, instead!&lt;/p&gt;

Snake oil, false hope and junk science labels from the oncologist now ring hollow.
