Guest guest Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 Moderator's Note: Leslie, thank you for this post. I would also suggest getting as much information as possible from as many sources as possible and decide for yourself in the end. When CODEX was in the throws of being passed, snopes.com said that was a hoax too. I have personlly attended the national coalition for health freedom's conference and personally know people that went to the CODEX meetings to fight for health freedom. Any source of information can be flawed, biased or worse- so thanks for the reminder that we need to think for ourselves. Best Wishes, Misty L. Trepke http://health. ---------------------- so Hello All and thank you for letting me join! My name is Leslie and I've been studying herbs for over 18 years. I'm still definitely not an expert; I always find out what kinds of existing medical conditions folks have and refer to my PDF for herbal medicine most every time before I recommend an herbal treatment. My father had by-pass surgery in 1982 and died of pneumonia related to a weakened immune system from taking chemo for liver cancer in 1988. My mother died last year from a second round of colon cancer, I should say, massive colon cancer which blocked her system in three places. In light of this, you can imagine my interest in the causes of the cardiopulminary disease and cancer epidemic in this country. I've found that diet and lifestyle are the biggest contributing factors to the deteriation of the health of Americans. Hydrogenized oils, refined carbohydrates, most processed foods, drinking pop rather than water as a main thirst quencher, lack of exercise, and the combination of chemical exposure from a variety of sources are the major culprits in the cancer and heart disease epidemics. Farm chemicals alone or even plastic containers by themselves do not cause these types of diseases. The heart disease and cancer epidemics actually started post World War II when the American lifestyle started changing dramatically. Americans have been brainwashed into a convenient, cheap driven mode of existence. A website I've found to be extremely informative is www.westonaprice.org. I'm sure many of you already know about it but I thought I'd provide the link just in case. I'm very careful about researching the information I read about the dangers of all sorts of potentially cancer and heart disease causing agents. I've found that there is valid concern over plastic number 3 packaging. However, the article posted recently describing the dangers of all plastic containers and wraps has a lot of holes. It was first circulated via email several years ago and caused a lot of concern with the general public until it was discovered that the email (and the television station who ran the original story) put a spin on the story in order to sensationalize what the doctor was actually trying to say. Below is a link to an article on Snopes.com about the story, please read and judge for yourselves. I hate to play the devil's advocate, especially on my first post, but the goal of the counter movement for healthy living is finding the truth. http://www.snopes.com/medical/toxins/cookplastic.asp Thanks so much for the " ear " .
