Environmental and Heritable Factors in the Causation of Cancer

NEWS FLASH!!

Don't read this unless your health is important to you!

This week researchers released results of a study that is critically important to many of us. Basically it creates possible links between the environment and our health, especially cancer. Our lifestyle choices may be more responsible for the development of cancer than our genes.

Why is this so important? BECAUSE IN THAT CASE, WE COULD DO SOMETHING TO PREVENT IT! That way you can prevent a lot of future grief and damage.

The results of this Scandinavian study were published this week in the New England Journal of Medicine. An abstract is available here and a great editorial on the same subject can be found here.

Quote: "This finding indicates that the environment has the principal role in causing sporadic cancer".

We all know someone who has had cancer. Don't you feel helpless when all you can do is sit and wait...for what? The implication of this study is that you can become very proactive. You can now take back control of your health: YOUR CHOICE!

Has this happened to you or a loved one? You wait in the doctor's office and she tells you that you need to go for further testing. The lump she feels may be cancerous and exploratory surgery would be the best option. Now, to the doctor, these are just words; nothing out of the ordinary. To you, however, they are doom and gloom. I know this from my own, personal experience. I watched my doctor's face, heard his voice from a distance...but was already watching my funeral in action! Silly? Yes? Real? Very real to the person hearing it!

So the results of this study are music to those of us who want to be in control of our lives. Now we know what to do and how to go about looking after ourselves. We suspect our water and our foods provide less than adequate nutrition and yet we were powerless to do much. Now with confidence you CAN create your healthy future.

So this incredible news gives hope to many and hope is what keeps most of us going when things get tough.

Did you know that there are products available right now...today... that will help you to fight the harmful effects of the environment? And no, they are not prescription drugs. They are called nutritional supplements.

You say: "Oh I eat really well: I don't need to take those. They are just a waste of money." Unfortunately unless you grow your own food (fruits, veggies, meat, fish, etc.), you will not be able to guarantee any sort of chemically-free product. Scary thought, right? Do you eat at the local fast food outlet? Could there be some preservatives in these processed foods?

I urge you to pay attention what you put into your mouth. And if you come to the conclusion that you don't have much control over your health, do read this article.

Do you realize that whatever we put into our mouths is the ONLY way for nutrition to protect and nourish our bodies? That the air we breathe is the only way to stay alive?

So how do you start? Read information about nutritional supplements, but please remember that they are NOT all alike. Don't make the mistake of thinking that just because they come from a health food store, they are better. Or if your naturopath recommends them, they must be the better than the local pharmacist. Or if it says "natural" on the label, they are natural. Or if it says herbal, it's safe. Take the first step in getting your body back on it's nutritional track by checking out what a healthy body needs on a daily basis. It's not very difficult, but you must start.

My purpose is to help and encourage people: not to create fear. This is a marvelous study and the results are very encouraging!

Few people are dying of old age. Many have cancer or are in long-term care facilities, often prematurely, with degenerative diseases. Now we are seeing that this could all be preventable. Make wise choices: It's your life.
