Well, as we all know, cancer is everywhere. It seems that everyone you meet knows someone personally that is dealing with cancer in some form. As a cancer survivor, I feel that it is critical to find the causes for cancer. People always say, " No one knows the cause". I disagree.
We DO know the cause, we just don't want to admit it, or we think it will not happen to us. I am here to tell you that it can happen to anyone, and we need to start looking at our lives from the inside out.
My question to you is , what are you doing in your daily life that is cancer causing? Think about all of the chemical you are exposed to on a daily basis. Have you ever researched the ingredients of the products that you put on your skin, hair and the processed foods that you eat?
It is my intention to share the things I have found that are toxic to our systems. Please check back often to see the latest updates.
Now for the first few things I have found...
This is a list of things I personally feel are important - how to avoid toxic chemicals that cause cancer. If you ask someone what is the cause of cancer, no one knows. Or do we?
We all know that cigarettes cause lung cancer, so there is one thing we can avoid. If we compile all of the things we do daily there are a lot of things that we can change to avoid cancer. Remember, one out of three people will be diagnosed with cancer. Do not cook with TEFLON pans. Use cast iron. Do not use ASPARTAME - artificial sweetener. Do not use SPLENDA - artificial sweetener. Do not use MSG - monosodium glutamate. Do not use NUTRASWEET - artificial sweetener. Do not eat hydrogenated oils. Do not eat high fructose corn syrup. (read the labels of the food you buy) This is pure sugar and it should be avoided. It is even in bread. Do not eat white flour. (Ok, that's a hard one - lower the amount) You can get whole grain pastas and whole grain breads.

My Cancer Solutions
Hello everyone! I wanted to create this blog to help people that are affected by cancer.
My name is Natasha and I am a wife and mother to three young boys ages 3, 6, and 8. My husband and I own our own business in the entertainment industry. We represent models and actors at our agency Peak Models & Talent www.peakmodels.com
Feel free to check out our blog at peakmodelsandtalent.blogspot.com
In October 2006 I had lost my voice for over 2 weeks and I had a dry cough. It got to the point where it was hurting to cough, and I went to the doctor. After a chest x-ray to rule out pneumonia, my doctor asked me what the "lump" in my neck was? I had never noticed a lump in my neck, but my back had a sore spot between the ribs up high.
The next day I went to the pumpkin patch with my middle son's class and was called by my doctor to get a CT scan. He did not tell my why, I just figured that there was a chest infection or something. I went for the scan, they referred my to an ENT. I got in without an appointment, they wanted to see my thyroid, they referred me to an ultrasound of my neck, again, no appointment. You know it is serious when you don't need an appointment.
At the ultrasound, the technician called in a passing doctor and asked him to take a look. Within a moment he had a concerned look and told me that there was noting wrong with my thyroid, there was something next to my thyroid. I asked what is there? Lymph system.
I went back to get a FNA ( fine needle aspiration) and within a few minutes I was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma Stage 2. I was devastated, and I wanted answers. I felt that it was unfair, that I had followed the rules, I had eaten properly, taken vitamins, and I had three boys to care for. This was not happening to me. It couldn't.
I have long since been searching for the answers to why people get cancer, and everyone told me I would drive myself crazy, so I did. I found answers all over the place.
I want to share with others what I have found, and let you know that there are valid solutions to keeping yourself in an optimal state of health. I have also found that there are countless chemicals that we are exposed to on a daily basis that are cancer causing. This blog will be updated on a regular basis with information that will help people avoid these chemicals in their daily lives, along with things you can do to help while going through chemo.
Keep checking back!
