The
Insidiousness Of Breast Cancer and Its Current
Treatment

In our modern world, the benefits that today’s manufacturing and
agricultural activities have brought us is more than painfully offset
by the damage to our personal health and wellness. During the course of
our daily lives, we are continually exposed to common household
products such as detergents, insulation, fabric treatments, flame
retardants, cosmetics, paints, upholstery preservatives, and coatings
for electronic equipment. When these chemicals accumulate within our
bodies, they distribute into body fluids as well. While it is painfully
clear that we may find such toxic chemicals as fire retardants in the
breast milk of Americans who unsuspectingly ingest these and unhealthy
levels of many other of toxins form the air they breath, the water they
drink, and the food they eat, then it is obvious that our drive for
cultural, technological, and scientific advancement has taken a wrong
turn somewhere along the way. The chemicals we have produced and
utilized in the modern era have had many negative effects upon various
human body organ systems and have caused many health problems that will
have serious implications far into the future. Data from recent
explorations into these issues suggest that all of us are at risk of
developing serious diseases from long-term exposure to these chemicals
that we had hoped would improve our lives. Our synthetic
chemicalization of planet Earth, in the past 60 years, is showing up as
a body burden that is a physical tragedy and a fiscal catastrophe.
Nowhere are these terrifying results more evident than in today’s
battles with breast cancer.
The link between toxins in our environment and diseases like breast
cancer showing up in our populations is one about which there is little
debate as to the cause and effect relationship. While media, political,
and health watch organizations warn of the danger associated with large
doses of synthetic chemicals within the living environments of human
populations, it is apparent that even very low doses of certain
chemicals can harm a developing fetus or newborn infant. Small amounts
of lead, mercury or PCBs in amounts that would not harm adults readily
damage the developing nervous system, causing defects that appear later
on. While the general health of an individual is a factor in who is
more susceptible to developing diseases from the exposure to toxic
chemicals in the environment, the fact that breast cancer is claiming
its victims from women both young and old, makes this situation all the
more deplorable. We need to take a fresh look at not only the disease
itself, but also at what may be alternatives to the current treatment
of this abomination.
Since it is obvious that government, with its bureaucratic pace of
environmental protection reform and industry with its millions of
dollars spent lobbying against regulations that would impact the
manufacture of their toxic products despite the obvious health
concerns, will not solve this problem in the immediate future; we then,
must take responsibility for our own health and wellness with education
and pro-active prevention and treatment strategies. Since the current
treatment methods, which have produced little to indicate real progress
over the past thirty years, are the very essence of barbarism, we must
seek out alternative ways of prevention and treatment, and help to
bring them into the accepted mainstream of health care practices. We
must also work to help ban dangerous chemicals and take immediate steps
to protect ourselves from unnecessary exposure to those chemicals that
we know to be harmful and contributory to the development of chronic
and degenerative diseases.
The current medical practices to treat breast cancer seem more like
torturous mayhem that therapeutic intervention. And is it any wonder
when doctors and medical students alike get most of their primary,
secondary, and continuing education funded, to a large degree by the
megalithic pharmaceutical industry, the very authors and purveyors of
drastic and toxic medical intervention procedures. This situation is
all the more dreadful when it is pointed out that these increasingly
toxic and experimental measures lead to future complications and the
susceptibility to the premature development of other chronic diseases.
This preoccupation with burning with radiation, poisoning with toxins,
and slicing and dicing cancer is an appalling state of affairs that
must end now. If you believe that current medical interventions do
anything but dehumanize cancer victims, then perhaps you will want to
go to your local video rental store and check out a movie by the name
of “WIT”. That our bodies are nothing more than test tubes to those
involved in the current cancer treatment methodologies is dramatically
illustrated by this fine film. And just when current medical
practitioners will leave this seemingly medieval torture seen behind is
not immediately apparent.
Imagine if you will that a woman is called into her doctor’s office to
review the results of her previous examination. The doctor looks at the
images on the films that were taken and declares that he sees the
shadow of something that could be deadly cancer and as a result has
scheduled surgery within 24 hours. Before she even has a chance for the
shock and terror to take hold, she is reeling with the realization that
she will be going under the knife in less than a day and will never be
the same again. Don’t kid yourself. This has been and is happening.
This is a strategy designed to prevent you from stepping outside of the
box of current medical interventions for the treatment of cancer,
taking a deep breath, and processing this information in the new light
of other possible courses of action. You may, after all, discover that
you have other viable alternatives to choose from in this instance. The
probable fact of the matter is that a health care provider, who rushes
to execute such measures, would not be quite so eager to cut off the
breast of his wife or of his daughter without considering less drastic
options first. And, not to put too fine a point on the matter, but
bringing it closer to home, I also do not believe that your doctor
would be as eager to part with one of his testicles should a comparable
diagnosis for him be pronounced. It is imperative that we, as
consumers, prevail upon our service providers to consider alternatives
should we find ourselves in a similar circumstance. In fact, it may
speed things along if, when confronted with a situation like this, we
would graphically drive the point home by saying something like: “OK
doctor, if you want to take away from me one of these (gesturing to the
appropriate area of your body), then I think you should have to part
with one of those, (pointing with your finger at his “family jewels”
location). I will wager that a lively discussion of alternatives for
this problem would ensue with little hesitation.
There are alternative remedies out there. Find them. It is known, for
example, that certain foods, including many vegetables and fruits, may
offer some positive effects in the fight against cancer. Dietary
suggestions such as choosing most of the foods you eat from plant
sources, limiting your intake of foods high in fat, particularly from
animal sources, becoming physically active, achieving and maintaining a
healthy weight and limiting the consumption of alcoholic beverages,
will add to your efforts to achieve a desired state of wellness and
avoid diseases. One approach which has not had wide spread acceptance
to date but has become quite intriguing, is the dietary use of certain
carbohydrate containing plant materials to either prevent or treat
certain cancers. There are numerous references which underscore the
importance of a diet obtained primarily from plant sources as a major
step in preventing cancer, or at least benefiting cancer patients.
There are literally hundreds of reports supporting this concept.
Today the prevention of cancer with proper nutrition is widely
accepted. It is believed, that in time, the efficacy of these materials
in the fight against cancer will be firmly established, and that
alternative choices for treatment will be included in the accepted
resources for the treatment of cancer. This will help to negate the
current propensity to pressure cancer patients into surgery or toxic
therapies causing them to agree for fear that they have few, if any
other viable options. Cancer cells and the means to deal with them
effectively are located within our bodily systems. Those systems need
but to be catalytically activated by the proper raw materials. If we
are functioning properly at the cellular level, then the growth of
cancer can be controlled and held in check from within by natural
mechanisms that were in place long before modern medicine dreamed up
its current toxic and drastic strategies. So, educate yourself about
prevention and alternative options, move your body, eat well,
supplement wisely, and TAKE BACK YOUR LIFE!
