Guest guest Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Kari, I never really paid much attention to these issues before I got cancer. Yes, I was concerned about food and health issues, but when I got sick I really started reading and paying attention to what was going on, because I truly believe we need to retain our rights to pure, healthy, natural food and supplements. We've already lost so much to big business and big pharmaceuticals, and we're losing more every day. The FDA will not protect us, the government will not protect us. We are in a capitalistic society, and the government will only protect capitalism and capitalists. Every time we find a way to heal or protect ourselves naturally, big business and big pharm will always find a way to take it away from us. Because it takes away from THEIR bottom line. If anyone doesn't believe that, then they need to do some research on why cancer, for example, has never been cured in our country. Everyone wants to find that magic pill that will solve all our problems (and make them rich) and noone wants to PREVENT illness and disease. Prescription drugs and treatments kill at least 100,000 people a year LEGALLY. I believe the actual number is much higher. My mother for example, had a stroke the first time she went for chemo in 2005. She could not have any more chemo treatments after that, and subsequently died. So what killed her, cancer or chemo? PREVENTION is the only real cure, and that's what drug companies are afraid of, because they can't patent and sell that. Prevention starts with US, in the food we eat, in the water we drink, and in the natural methods we use. So even if you think something like compounding pharmacies don't affect you personally (you, plural, not just you, Kari, lol) people SHOULD be concerned about this. Compounding pharmacies use natural plant extracts in their formulations. Of course drug companies don't want you to use them, they want you to use their unhealthy products produced thru animal abuse (another reason to protect compounding pharmacies, even if you don't use them!) so they don't lose any profit! Ok, sorry for the long rant, but I care deeply about these issues, obviously, lol. And btw, every adult woman SHOULD have their hormones checked, it's not just menopausal age women who have hormone related problems. Any woman experiencing PMS problems, weight problems, stress problems, exhaustion etc. should get their hormones checked. The treatments are simple creams prescribed by real doctors, plant based SAFE treatments. I take them myself, after doing a lot of research. Cyndi :-) In a message dated 1/17/2008 5:48:03 A.M.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 I absolutely do agree that our tainted food supply is what is causing allergies, asthma and disease in our children and ourselves. It is just more visable in children because their little bodies can't handle the toxicity the way adults do. In adults, the symptoms are more subtle, so many people don't even recognize that they have a food allergy. I was just telling Joe yesterday, that food allergies (along with hormonal imbalances) cause permanent low grade inflammation in adults that manifests itself in disease. Noone runs the simple blood test that is needed to determine the level of inflammation in the blood, so noone knows about it, and then they get a disease and never know the true cause. I did get the test done, only because my doctor was curious. I never knew about it until then. I am at the borderline for low grade inflammation, so I monitor my food and hormones carefully. Do I want cancer again? NO! Do I believe it is a deliberate conspiracy? I'm not sure. I think big business is only concerned about making money. I don't know that a company that makes, say children's cereal, has any interest in making children sick. They DO however, want to make a profit at any cost, so if using unhealthy, genetically modified, government-subsidized grains will let them do that, well, then they are all for it. Do I believe that Big Pharm has a vested interest in keeping us sick? ABSOLUTELY. Does Big Pharm control our government? ABSOLUTELY. Will we ever have a voice in the wuality of our food supply? Maybe, but it won't be easy. I've been listening for the current political candidates to voice their views on healthcare, but noone is saying much yet. And certainly noone is talking about disease prevention or the quality of food and medical treatment in our country, only in disease management, or whatever the current politically correct term is these days. Very disappointing. I think many of us are ready and waiting for REAL change in our government, and I don't see anyone standing out as that voice yet.
