Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Cancer / February 2005the cancer industry
What is the Cancer Industry? The Cancer Industry consists of corporations, organizations and agencies that diminish or mask the extent of the cancer problem, fail to protect our health, or divert attention away from the importance of finding the causes of breast cancer and working to prevent the disease. This includes drug companies that, in addition to profiting off cancer treatment drugs, sometimes also produce toxic chemicals that may be contributing to the high rates of cancer in this country and increasing rates throughout the world. It also includes the polluting industries that continue to release substances we know or suspect are dangerous to our health, and the public relations firms and public agencies who protect these polluters. The Cancer Industry includes organizations like the American Cancer Society, that downplay the risk of cancer from pesticides and other environmental factors, and who historically have refused to take a stand on environmental regulation. http://www.bcaction.org/ Fresh (uncooked, un-bottled, unmodified, un-preserved) fruits and leafy greens (grown in rich soil) are substantially healthier than cooked foods, but there's not much advertising dollars in what anybody can grow in his own back yard. This is why the media promotes "variety", because it means a lot more money for them. Also the medical industry has grown to 1/7th the US economy by treating the effects of poor nutrition. You can however make yourself sick trying to go 100% raw food diet. We do need variety, but it's way overrated. It takes months to develop specific nutrient deficiencies. The number of people dying from poor nutrition out numbers 1000 to 1 the number of people getting sick from lack of variety. There's also an army of lawyers armed with dozens of phony clinical studies who attack anyone who dares challenge the status quo. The cure for cancer died of politics. > What is the Cancer Industry? > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > http://www.bcaction.org/ > Fresh (uncooked, un-bottled, unmodified, un-preserved) fruits and leafy > greens (grown in rich soil) are substantially healthier than cooked [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > The cure for cancer died of politics. Willcox What we eat, what we breath, how we live and the choices we make as individuals and as a people do affect how we will live, not only through our illness, but the years of our lives yet to come. The best support is support which sustains. What sustains you through your illness, and in particualar, what foods and food information sources have you found sustaining? Some 'gleanings' from my files: http://www.ramshorn.ca/ The Ram's Horn: A monthly journal of food system analysis ~~~~~~~~~~~ http://www.slowfoodusa.org/ "Recognizing that the enjoyment of wholesome food is essential to the pursuit of happiness, Slow Food U.S.A. is an educational organization dedicated to promoting stewardship of the land and ecologically sound food production..." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ polcies that diminish or mask the extent of the cancer problem, fail > > to protect our health, or divert attention away from the importance of > > finding the causes of breast cancer and working to prevent the disease.

I agree. We have been let down by those whose mandate it is to work for us and *not* to work for industry. Zee |
