I just came across with a very cool website: grassrootshealth.net
What I really like about the website is the way they put the message across - they not only throw around numbers, they actually back it up with clear references to the studies they are referring to.
And they hit the nail on the head. The problem is that there is so much evidence out there but there seem to be gigantic hurdles to prevent an effective communication to the public. I understand that the pharmaceutical industry might have a strong interest to prevent letting the word spread broadly for very obvious reasons. However, I also believe that maybe this needs to be conducted in a more coordinated effort. At this point we have all these rather small initiatives trying the best very they can, but with limited reach and success only. But if they could get together and join forces, and address the issue in a more coordinated and marketing-like effort, I'm sure that - even though it will take a long time - a change in the minds of the believers of conventional medicine and the industry will set in. The prove is overwhelming and this information needs to be available to everybody who deals with breast cancer in one way or the other and therefore seeks information about effective breast cancer treatmets.
The reason why I so firmly believe that cancer, and breast cancer in particular, is strongly associated with a deficiency related to nutrition: cancer rates have continuously risen and still continue to rise. In other words, we as human beings, did do things differently in the past where we had significantly less cancer. We ate differently and lived differently. We used to spent more time outside exposed to the sun, yet, had way less incidents of skin cancer, for instance. So going back in time and trying to understand how we lived 80 or a hundred years ago (or going back even further) makes perfectly sense to me. What we won't be able to do is change quickly the environment we live in, the air we breath, the clothes we wear, etc.. At least not in the broader context.
But what each of us can change immediately, is the lifestyle and diet. So why not starting there and right now?
I'm Tony and I'm Ann's husband. Ann was diagnosed with breast-cancer earlier this year. This blog is supposed to keep you up to date on what's going on with us. Please note, that everything I share with you is from my perspective, not Ann's. This is important to understand as you read my blog and browse through my website. Before you start reading my blog, you may want to read our breast-cancer story first
The whole intention of this website is to provide insight and - in best case - support to relatives of women who had been diagnosed with breast-cancer.
