One question keeps haunting me. HOW do we get cancer? Not everybody who has been stricken with this thing was a smoker, or had it passed down through their genes.

Is it our Food? Pollution? Drugs? Cleaning Supplies?

I mean, now we are hearing that our drinking water has drugs in it and our water bottles are toxic! What's going on here?

When my grandmother was growing up, you never heard the word cancer. Now, just about every single person in this world has been affected by this dreaded disease, one way or another.

If they can create a vaccine for the flu, why can they not create a vaccine for cancer?

There are the pharmaceutical companies and their lobbyist looking for that almighty dollar. If they actually had a cure for cancer, do you think they would tell us? No way! They want you to keep coming back over, and over, and over again buying their drugs.

Did you know that drugs are synthesized from PLANTS? That means that they have chemically created something originally perfected by Mother Nature, but their versions are not natural anymore. It is all chemical. This is a possibility; drugs.., chemicals.., you ingest.

And then there is pollution. Just look at California! There are days when asthma sufferers do not dare to venture outside because they will choke to death! Automobile makers are not allowed to make vehicles run cleaner; well, 'nuff said about that topic; we have an Oil Man in charge.

Our soil is being depleted at an alarming rate, and has taken its toll on the nutrient density of our food supply. Corporate America - looking for the big bucks - dumps tons of chemicals into mother earth to make their produce grow faster. And if that is not fast enough for them, they dump more chemicals in to speed up the ripening process. And when the bugs come to visit, they dump toxic pesticides.

Now wait, that is not all, they pick the produce early and spray them with more chemicals so they can ship them across country to our grocery stores. So what is the result? You get chemically enhanced produce. Makes you stop and think, doesn't it? The nutritional value of our fruits and vegetables just are not what they were 30 years ago. Hmm, we are eating chemicals. Could that be it?

We could take vitamin supplements for our diets, but then again, I caution you to ask questions before purchasing them. Do they absorb directly into your system, or do they just pass through your system? And make sure they are packaged so that sunlight doesn’t get in (i.e., glass or clear bottles)! Many vitamins are depleted by exposure to light. Hey, even milk is sold in colored containers now. Matter of fact, this is one thing that I do to maintain my health, and the product that I recommend is an all natural, non-preservative juice made directly from the goji berry itself (possibly the most nutritionally dense product in the world).

But then, what about our every day products that we use to clean ourselves and our homes? Corporate America is trying to scare the wits out of people about germs and viruses - but in actuality, if you eliminate all of the germs from your environment, your immune system won’t know how to fight it, and once again, you get sick and you start the cycle all over again. You go to the doctor, and get some magic pill to make you feel better. Side effects? No problem, let me give you another chemical pill to combat that. How can you expect your body to fight these battles? No wonder we get sick!

Everything has been provided for us that we need to survive on this earth; food, water, sunshine, oxygen. And most importantly, your body has its own immune system to help protect you. But greedy people are ruining all of it.

In my opinion, if you keep going the easy way by taking that magic pill to make you feel better, stopping by a fast food joint for a quick bite, sanitizing everything that you come in contact with, and most importantly, ignoring your own body (immune system), it is inevitable. You are preventing your own body from living.

And this is not isolated to human beings alone! Now our pets are dying from cancer. We give them drugs for fleas, heartworms, yearly vaccinations and more! We feed them food marketed by corporations. Matter of fact, I just saw a video about horses in Colorado Springs that were sick and dying from the fluorinated water that the City provided. My own dog just passed away from Cancer. See the connection? This boggles my mind!

So what can we do? I just think we all need to stop and think about what we are consuming, whether it is ingested or inhaled. I do recommend taking a dietary supplement because you just can not get the nutrition that we got 30 years ago from food alone. But, find a natural way to get off the maintenance medications (under your doctors' supervision of course). Find products that are 100% natural with no preservatives. Find the products that are 100% plant, and not synthesized.

I think we need to turn back the clock and go natural again; just the way that they did in my grandmothers’ days.
