Healthy 2011

2011-01-09T18:30:00.000-08:00

If you or someone you know has dealt with cancer, you know very well that it is not a road you choose, but one you have to deal with.
For those of us who have survived, and those in treatment, the best thing you can do for yourself is have a positive attitude, and by that I mean knowing that you are interested in living.
Find something that interests you, a hobby, or interest/
There is nothing better than an occupied mind to take it off of the treatment.
Create a vision board of what you want your life to include after treatment.
Looking forward keeps us INspired - or as I like to say IN SPIRIT... so hang in there and fight the good fight!
To your best year yet!

ONIONS??

2010-02-04T18:40:00.001-08:00

From time to time I come across information that I feel might be helpful to someone, so here is the latest on ONIONS!
n 1919 when the flu killed 40 million people there was this Doctor that visited the many farmers to see if he could help them combat the flu. Many of the farmers and their family had contracted it and many died.

The doctor came upon this one farmer and to his surprise, everyone was very healthy. When the doctor asked what the farmer was doing that was different, the wife replied that she had placed an unpeeled onion in a dish in the rooms of the home, (probably only two rooms back then). The doctor couldn't believe it and asked if he could have one of the onions and place it under the microscope.. She gave him one and when he did this, he did find the flu virus in the onion. It obviously absorbed the bacteria, therefore, keeping the family healthy.

Now, I heard this story from my hairdresser in AZ. She said that several years ago many of her employees were coming down with the flu and so were many of her customers. The next year she placed several bowls with onions around in her shop. To her surprise, none of her staff got sick. It must work.. (And no, she is not in the onion business..)

The moral of the story is, buy some onions and place them in bowls around your home. If you work at a desk, place one or two in your office or under your desk or even on top somewhere. Try it and see what happens. We did it last year and we never got the flu.

If this helps you and your loved ones from getting sick, all the better. If you do get the flu, it just might be a mild case.. Whatever, what have you to lose? Just a few bucks on onions!!!!!!

Now there is a P. S. to this for I sent it to a friend in Oregon who regularly contributes material to me on health issues. She replied with this most interesting experience about onions:

Thanks for the reminder.. I don't know about the farmers story.. but, I do know that I contacted pneumonia and needless to say I was very ill... I came across an article that said to cut both ends off an onion put one end on a fork and then place the forked end into an empty jar....placing the jar next to the sick patient at night. It said the onion would be black in the morning from the germs.. sure enough it happened just like that.. the onion was a mess and I began to feel better.

Another thing I read in the article was that onions and garlic placed around the room saved many from the black plague years ago. They have powerful antibacterial, antiseptic properties.

This is the other note.

LEFT OVER ONIONS ARE POISONOUS

I have used an onion which has been left in the fridge, and sometimes I don't use a whole one at one time, so save the other half for later.

Now with this info, I have changed my mind.. will buy smaller onions in the future..

I had the wonderful privilege of touring Mullins Food Products, Makers of mayonnaise.. Mullins is huge, and is owned by 11 brothers and sisters in the Mullins family. My friend, Jeanne, is the CEO.

Questions about food poisoning came up, and I wanted to share what I learned from a chemist.

The guy who gave us our tour is named Ed. He's one of the brothers. Ed is a chemistry expert and is involved in developing most of the sauce formula. He's even developed sauce formula for McDonald's.

Keep in mind that Ed is a food chemistry whiz. During the tour, someone asked if we really needed to worry about mayonnaise. People are always worried that mayonnaise will spoil. Ed's answer will surprise you. Ed said that all commercially- made Mayo is completely safe.

"It doesn't even have to be refrigerated. No harm in refrigerating it, but it's not really necessary." He explained that the pH in mayonnaise is set at a point that bacteria could not survive in that environment. He then talked about the quaint essential picnic, with the bowl of potato salad sitting on the table and how everyone blames the mayonnaise when someone gets sick.

Ed says that when food poisoning is reported, the first thing the officials look for is when the 'victim' last ate ONIONS and where those onions came from (in the potato salad?). Ed says it's not the mayonnaise (as long as it's not homemade Mayo) that spoils in the outdoors. It's probably the onions, and if not the onions, it's the POTATOES.

He explained, onions are a huge magnet for bacteria, especially uncooked onions. You should never plan to keep a portion of a sliced onion.. He says it's not even safe if you put it in a zip-lock bag and put it in your refrigerator.

It's already contaminated enough just by being cut open and out for a bit, that it can be a danger to you (and doubly watch out for those onions you put in your hotdogs at the baseball park!)

Ed says if you take the leftover onion and cook it like crazy you'll probably be okay, but if you slice that leftover onion and put on your sandwich, you're asking for trouble. Both the onions and the moist potato in a potato salad, will attract and grow bacteria faster than any commercial mayonnaise will even begin to break down.

So, how's that for news? Take it for what you will. I (the author) am going to be very careful about my onions from now on. For some reason, I see a lot of credibility coming from a chemist and a company that produces millions of pounds of mayonnaise every year.

Also, dogs should never eat onions. Their stomachs cannot metabolize onions. Please remember it is dangerous to cut onions and try to use it to cook the next day, it becomes highly poisonous for even a single night and creates Toxic bacteria which may cause Adverse Stomach infections because of excess Bile secretions and even Food poisoning.

I hope this information finds you well, and please feel free to leave your comments or pass this onto others.

Don't fight! Surrender!

2010-01-18T23:56:00.000-08:00

Ok, so I know that if you are out there with a cancer diagnosis, that everyone has been up your tree about " the fight against cancer" and how you need to " fight" to stay alive...I get it.
I have been there, heard every cliche and come to my own conclusions as well.

For me, cancer was not a fight, but more like a sucker punch in the stomach. By the time I recovered from the hit, another one was coming right at my head, with the news of the chemo I would be taking for the next 6 months. Getting back from the doctor would be another slam right in the chest as I would watch my 2 year old jump on my bed giggling, wondering if I would see him go to kindergarten. The bone marrow test was another cheap shot to my lower back, kicking me while I was down. Each day came with a bully called cancer designed to take me down any way possible. I met with fear, anger, and despair at different points of each day.

After months of suffering and the mental marathon that goes along with the whole cancer journey, I had to choose how I wanted to handle this thing.
My biggest problem is that I felt like my whole life was a fight to survive. I had survived child abuse and neglect, I had lived in foster care, I had watched my mother die on my birthday, and honestly I had really had enough of the " fight" aspect of life.
Now I know that for most people that the " fight" works for them, but for me it was a surrender.
When I was diagnosed, there were moments when I actually felt a bit of relief because now I had a reason to slow down and take care of myself. Before I was always on survival mode, now I had the chance to learn how to actually LIVE!~

For me I had to surrender, completely.
I had to surrender to the fact that I did not have all the answers.
I had to surrender to the fact that someone else was going to be in charge.
I had to surrender to my faith in God and that he knows way better than I do what I need.
I had to surrender to God that I needed him more than I wanted to admit.
I had to surrender that if I did not make it that my kids would be ok, and that my husband would do a great job without me... this was my hardest moment, and it was the moment that saved my life.
A complete surrender means thinking all of the thoughts that you never want to think and realizing that it is ok, no matter what the outcome.
I am still scared, I am not invincible, and still even with all that I have been through, I will tell you that I want to control things all the time, and when I do, is when I am most stressed.
Ok I get it....I surrender!
Remember, cancer is a word, not a sentence...

Life after Cancer..

2009-10-24T20:43:00.000-07:00

For many cancer survivors there is an overwhelming feeling of relief when a clean bill of health comes from the doctor.

The other side of the coin is the feeling of " what if" that comes along with the news.

" What if" it comes back? " What if" something else goes wrong. This type of thinking can become so distracting that your daily life can be consumed with fears.

The one thing I try to remember is that anything can happen to anyone at any time.

We have nothing but our ability to look at the best possible scenarios to get us through the days.

And a day with the people you love is worth smiling about.

Remember that cancer is a word, not a sentence, if you have been set free, start living.

You are not defined by your illness, but more in how you overcome it.

Toxins in our cosmetics

2009-03-08T11:50:00.000-07:00

Apparently, there are ingredients found in cosmetic products that are possibly causing cancer. My friend Renee sent me this email & I looked it up on the internet wanting more information. Well guess what, there's tons of discussion on this topic. I'll sum up one link, breast cancer tissue was examined and found what could only be a build up of ingredients from topical products. I Googled 'paraben link to cancer,':http://www. health-report. co. uk/parabens. htm http://www. mindfully. org/Pesticide/2004/Parabens-Breast-Significance1jan04. htm http://www. mindfully. org/Pesticide/2004/Methylparaben-Deodorant-Cancer12jan04. htmThis is from the Health Report webite:'We have been warning people about the potential toxic effects of parabens for ages and how the increase in breast cancer and all cancers could be directly attributed to chemicals in the body. (This includes of course the shocking revelations that HRT was directly responsible for another 20,000 women to contract cancer recently.) Not just from using underarm deodorants either. Virtually all so-called 'skin Care' products have dangerous chemicals in them. Parabens are just one of a large bunch of toxic chemicals that no-one has any idea of what the long term effects are if you use them every day on your skin.' 'If you want to be free of all the toxic chemicals that vested interests tell you are 'good' for your skin and 'safe' don't use them! Period! The only safe products we recommend for use on the skin are Certified Organic products that are made to food grade standards. Yes you could eat them - because they are 100% free of all synthetic chemicals.'Just look in the ingredient listing of your lotions/washes and if you find words ending with 'paraben' it is probably a good idea not to buy this product. I looked at all the face/body washes, masks and lotion in my cabinet finding a few with the 'paraben' ingredient; expensive lines too! One product line in my cupboard didn't show the ingredient in the night-time lotion but had parabens in the day-time lotion. Check your deodorants and shampoo/conditioners too. When shopping you will find a couple product lines are even stating 'Paraben Free' on the front because this is a growing concern. If you shop or do your research online it is really easy to find paraben free products.Here is an excellent resource, where you can look up cosmetics to see how they score on various parameters (including paraben content): http://www. cosmeticsdatabase. com We have to take care of ourselves and each-other. If you have any info on parabens, please let me know.

Artificial Sweetners

2008-12-31T09:49:00.000-08:00

Here is another bit of information I picked up from a friend...

With the latest release from the corrupted FDA about stevia being
OK to use, let's review what is now known about artificial
sweeteners currently still on the market:

1. Nutrasweet (aspartame): Very allergenic, causing mostly
headaches, but many other symptoms as well, including some deaths.
Most people in Texas and Florida now know that it works fine to get
rid of fire ants. Just sprinkle some onto a fire ant (or other
ant) hill, and in 24 hours they're gone. If it does that to ants,
what does it do to us?
Because the FDA is controlled by Big Pharma and Coke and Pepsi
it's been tolerated way too long.. Now Pepsi and Coke
are losing lawsuits and paying damages more and more, they
desperately want a new substitute. Lo and behold, the FDA which
has fought against Stevia for years has just conceded that it's OK
to use it.

2. Splenda: This has been replacing Nutrasweet for the last few
years in many "diet" drinks, but it has been shown by independent
research to be very dangerous to humans. As one researcher put it
"it's closer to a pesticide than a sugar". It was actually
discovered in 1974 by a researcher in England looking for a new
pesticide.

By replacing 3 hydroxy atoms with 3 chorine atoms in sugar, we
have a new molecule, actually making something similar to a
pesticide. Just as in aspartame, we are the subjects in the long
term experiment, and our kids are even more so. It seems to be
turning out on the mounting evidence that Splenda is even more
dangerous than was Nutrisweet, and it doesn't even kill fire ants!
My advice along with most knowledgeable experts. Stay away from
both above!

3. Saccharine: This is the oldest and safest of all the sugar
substitutes. It is listed as GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe)
by the FDA - probably way before Big Pharma got complete control of
it, and because it's impossible to prove it's not safe, it's still
on that list.

Many people don't like the taste, but as a diabetic, I've used it
for years, and don't even notice the taste any longer.

4. Stevia: This is an old sweetener that the FDA, at the behest
of the diet drink industry, banned for many years, even thought
they couldn't prove it was "bad".. Now, suddenly, Coke and Pepsi
are finding that neither Nutrasweet nor Splenda are safe and age
getting hit with more and more costly lawsuits. They are
desperately seeking something that is "safe", and finding that
Stevia is quite the safest of all, they "got to" the FDA and got a
bulletin released that said, in effect, "we will no longer call
stevia unsafe", which, while not putting it on the GRAS list, does
open the door for it's use in thousands of more items. Among
knowledgeable persons, it's been used for years anyway.

5. Lakanto: I ran across this seemingly the best of all
non-calorie sugars at an autism conference last year. It looks
like sugar (slighty brown sugar). It tastes like sugar, and it
works in baking and everything just like sugar. The only problem -
it's quite expensive. Manufactured in Japan, and distributed by
Body Ecology Inc in the US (1-800-511-2660). My wife, a diabetic
loves it. I have not researched it thoroughly, but at first look,
besides being expensive, it seems to be the best sugar substitute
for diabetics at least.

Those are the choices, and undoubtedly more will come along. It's
a funny thing - people who drink diet drinks don't lose weight, and
many actually gain weight on them. I stopped drinking all soft
drinks more than once a week or so years ago. I believe that the
human body was a miracle of engineering (or evolution), and man
made food in any form is not a good thing for it. I only wish we
could get back to naturally grown food, and stop distorting it.

God's pharmacy

2008-07-16T17:42:00.000-07:00

friend sent this to me. It's been said that God first separated the salt water from the fresh, made dry land, planted a garden, made animals and fish... All before making a human. He made and provided what we'd need before we were born. These are best & more powerful when eaten raw. We're such slow learners...
God left us a great clue as to what foods help what part of our body!
God's Pharmacy! Amazing!

A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye... And YES, science now shows carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes. (Don't forget to couple a little fat with the carrots to necessarily break down the beta carotene wall to receive all the nutrients you can from this tasty root!)

A Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart has four chambers and is red. All of the research shows tomatoes are loaded with lycopene and are indeed pure heart and blood food.

Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food.

A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds on the nut are just like the neo-cortex. We now know walnuts help develop more than three (3) dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.

Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys.

Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and many more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don't have enough sodium in your diet, the body pulls it from the bones, thus making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.

Avocadoes, Eggplant and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these organs. Today's research shows that when a woman eats one avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight, and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this? It takes exactly nine (9) months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them).

Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the mobility of male sperm and increase the numbers of Sperm as well to overcome male sterility.

Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics.

Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries

Oranges, Grapefruits, and other Citrus fruits look just like the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.

Onions look like the body's cells. Today's research shows onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells. They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes. A working companion, Garlic, also helps eliminate waste materials and dangerous free radicals from the body..

Psalm 46:19
'Be Still and Know that I AM GOD'

Thinking long term!

2008-05-21T21:22:00.000-07:00

Ok, I just heard something very exciting yesterday. I go to this little sushi bar by my house, and the waitress Patty has always been really nice. She knew that I had been idagnonsed with cancer and she told me that her husband has Leukemia. He has been battling for many years, but I guess Leukemia like to linger.
Anyways, after about 7 years of oncology, he started drinking a mix of berries every day. He blended fresh strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, pineapple and cranberry juice along in a blender. He has been drinking this mix daily for 7 months, and guess what? He is CANCER FREE!!! There are no cancer cells coming up in his tests! Even his doctor is surprised!
We just have no idea what is all around us that we can take advantage of on a daily basis. I have started to drink this mix myself, and I give it to my kids and husband as well. They call it mommy's Jamba juice! It is very yummy, and you are getting all of your daily fruits in one swoop! Remember also, if you want to change your home over to natural cleaning products that are eco friendly as well, please contact me and I will share with you the company that i have found. You can e mail me at natasha@peakmodels.com

What we put in our bodies

2008-02-27T18:20:00.000-08:00

My friend Stephanie Leventhal wrote me a great e mail and I thought you might want to see what other people out there that do not have cancer think about what our food industry is doing by adding chemicals to everything to cheapen the production and turn a bigger profit. I know we cannot change everything in a day, but if we all start taking a stand against this stuff,, the food companies will be forced to look at what they are feeding our kids, especially if we stop buying it.
America is so overweight, and our kids are the biggest vicitms of this problem. They do not know , it is our job to educate them and help them to understand their choices. Remember a 3 year old did not get here with an addiction to Lucky Charms. Let's start replacing this stuff with better choices and turn the tide so that our kids do not end up with all sorts of disease.
Natasha

Note from Stephanie...

One of the sneakiest and most obvious factors is the foods and chemicals we consume. Sure, everyone is trying to make a conscious effort to eat in a more healthy way but, we still don't pay enough attention to the ingredients even in some of the so-called "good for you" products.
Fast food and chemically processed food is a way of life for many moms and busy families, but we are poisoning our loved-ones with what we are feeding them.
Fast food is obviously no good, but, we even have to take a seriously close look at some of the healthier choices, such as:
-Subway (processed meats, bleached flour, chemical condiments)
-El Pollo Loco (bleached chicken breasts and chemically processed side orders)
Of course there are others but these are some obvious examples, and if we are taking chemicals out of our homes to prevent Cancer then we definitely should not consume chemicals for a direct Cancer injection! Other hidden chemicals can also be found in
some of the foods we consume every day, such as,
Refined white sugar and artificial sweeteners, they are in everything! And are ignored by most people, consumed daily, and are known to cause Cancer! Can be found in:
-Light yogurt (yummy yoplait "whips", also filled with phenylanaline found in cold medicine)
-Soda
-cereal
-cookies
and too many other things to list.
Chemicals used to preserve our food are used in sooo many things and play a huge factor in our poor eating habits, all we need to do is make a conscious effort to examine the content of the foods we are eating and how they are prepared.
READ LABELS and INGREDIENTS CAREFULLY
Low-fat, Non-fat, does not equal GOOD-FOR-YOU!
A general rule of thumb is the number of ingredients, if the ingredients cannot be pronounced or even readily recognized, the warning bells should go off! Ingredients should consist of Whole Foods such as:
Milk
Eggs
Un-bleached flour
Whole Grains
Real Sugar (brown is better)
Real vegetables (not veggie-flavor)
Real fruit (not just fruit-flavor)
Real butter (not buttery-spread!!)
Oils (olive, walnut, avocado, sesame)
Real herbs and spices not just chemical equivalents
Believe it or not there are a tremendous amount of other "GOOD-FOR-YOU" foods and ingredients that are too many to list.
Going to the grocery store may seem like a daunting prospect now if you are trying to make healthy choices, but it's not! Healthy choices can become a habit for you, and your family, it's easier than you think!
At first shopping for and preparing healthy choices for you and your family can take a little more time and possibly preparation, but, isn't your and your families health ultimately worth it?!

Cleaning your enviornment!

2008-02-26T19:34:00.001-08:00

As a cancer survivor, I now hear so much about enviornmental cancer. As I have mentioned before, I am on a mission to "change" my enviornment and the enviornnment for those that I love. I am personally starting in my own home.

The fastest growing group of cancer patients is kids and stay at home moms. Hmmmmm.
What is the common denominator? I feel it is the home. We moms with small kids are in the home more and we are constantly cleaning up. Now the question. What are we cleaning up with?

Did you know that the FDA has made it so that cleaning products do not have to list the ingredients? Or that the " fragrance" industry is exempt from telling you how they get those lovely smells and what they are made of? Scary!!!!

So, I have changed my home to natural cleaning products. I have found a company that will deliver natural cleaning products to my home. I buy everything on line and I love that I do not lug heavy bottles of laundry detergent anymore.

The company sells soaps, dishwashing soaps, laundry soaps, and all of the usual household cleaners with no toxic chemicals. I cannot believe how much better I feel. I used to get a headache after spraying Windex and now no side effects from cleaning.

Another disturbing fact is that I know a woman who cleans homes and her friends keep getting cancer and dying. These women are all under 50 years of age. What is the link? Guess what? They were all cleaning ladies!!!No one can prove it, but I would rather do what I can to avoid the problems.

If you want to know how to get your cleaning products delivered to your home that are actually cheaper than commercial products, e mail me at natasha@peakmodels.com
I will be happy to forward you the info that I have and you can get started shoppeing from your computer too.

ALl the best!
Natasha Duswalt

What is all around us?

2008-02-07T08:37:00.000-08:00

As I said before, there are things all around us that cause cancer. I love the old statement,
" environmental cancer" , as if we have no control over our enviornment. Well, I have found that our homes can be toxic.
Here are a few more things to think about as you clean up your enviornment.

If you are concerned with breast cancer, add linseed or flaxseed to your daily diet. If you are concerned with diabetes, add cinnamon to your daily diet. It has been found that coloring your hair is linked to lymphoma. IF you have acid reflux, heartburn or indigestion take a spoonful of raw apple cider vinegar. Do not use “antiperspirant” (this blocks your ability to sweat and this can block your lymphatic system) You can find natural alternatives at Trader Joes and Whole Foods.Do not use anything with aluminum under your arms. Do not use “sodium laurel sulphates." Read your shampoo and soap bottles. You will be shocked at how many products contain this ingredient. Do not use propylene glycol which is the main ingredient in antifreeze. It is also in many household items such as cosmetics, toothpaste, lotions, processed foods, etc. Do not use chemicals to clean your house. The FDA does not regulate what is put in cleaning products. You can get a lot of clean out of vinegar water and a bit of lemon. Baking soda and Borax are great too. Avoid dry cleaning… the chemicals cause cancer… at least air out the clothes before wearing them after cleaning if you cannot get away from it all together. Vitamin E deficiency increases the risk of Leukemia. Iodine deficiency increases the risk of thyroid cancer. Choline deficiency increases the risk of cancer of the liver. Zinc deficiencies can lead to prostate cancer. Vitamin A deficiencies can lead to tumors. Eat organic or kosher meats. The added hormones in meat and DES (diethylstilbestrol) speed development in young women. Try to buy organic fruits and vegetables. At Sloan Kettering Cancer Research Center they found that 99% of all tumors removed from patients had pesticides in them. Hmmmmm. Only buy NO RBST dairy products. (Available at Trader Joes and Whole Foods) This means there are no hormones in these dairy products. Eat lunch meats and hot dogs that do not have nitrates. Nitrates can cause cancer. Get natural sunlight daily, it is one of the most healing things you can do. One of the things we all need to know is that after years of consumption of chemicals in our diets and products we use daily, we have toxins in our systems. It is important to get these toxins out. Find a natural doctor to aid you in the proper plan for you.www.acam.org/dr_search/index.php If you know someone with cancer have them check out essiac tea. It can be found online, and it is so great that they use it in England to shrink tumors before surgery.
___________________ The following is a list of things I have done to cleanse my body…(I would not suggest doing any of these things without a licensed professional naturalist. Also, I am not a doctor and am not licensed to tell you what to do). Colon CleanseLiver and Gall bladder cleanseParasite CleanseCandida Cleanse I also take probiotics to replace the friendly bacteria. It has come to my attention that cancer can only grow in cells if they are not fully oxygenated.The lymphatic system needs to move and you can do this by walking or bouncing on a mini trampoline. Your lymphatic system is responsible for removing toxins. It does not have a pump like your heart, so it is important to keep it moving. Drink 8-10 glasses of pure water. Keep a watch on your PH levels too. If your body is too acidic, you can be more prone to cancer and other problems. Drink water with fresh lemon to get your PH back to normal.

Cancer Causes

2008-01-30T21:38:00.001-08:00

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.

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.
