Disease knows no boundaries, it doesn't discriminate and it isn't bigoted.
Cancer, for instance, strikes anyone of any age, and of any race or social background. Cancer will find you whether you lead a healthy or unhealthy lifestyle...
Whether you are physically fit or out of shape...
Whether you exercise regularly or are a couch potato...
Whether you are rich or poor, male or female...
Whether you are a vegetarian or meat lover...
And whether you are an adult, adolescent or child..
Here's a FACT: Every 60 seconds someone dies from cancer...and every 3 minutes, someone new is diagnosed with cancer. That someone could even be you.
Did you know...that 1 out of every 3 adults in America already has cancer ? But most of them don't know it yet because the cancer is undiagnosed and undetected.
Cancer cannot be cured simply by eating a healthy diet, or even by becoming a vegetarian. Linda McCartney, the late wife of Paul McCartney was a life long vegetarian, who not only campaigned for vegetarianism, but also wrote a book on vegetarian cooking and produced a line of frozen meals. Yet, despite her healthy eating, she died of breast cancer at the age of 56.
And you can't immune from disease simply by exercising or becoming physically fit.
Some of the greatest athletes of our time, including 7-time Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong, Olympic ice skating champions Scott Halmilton and Peggy Fleming, and basketball star Magic Johnson, have all been victims of cancer or HIV.
So much so that big name celebrities have been doing their part to help put an end to cancer during a one-hour television special titled "Stand Up 2 Cancer" that aired on September 5 on all 3 networks ( ABC, CBS and NBC) to raise funds for cancer research.
The problem with raising funds for cancer research is this : The funds eventually go towards cancer research that does NOT cure cancer.
In the 95 years that health organizations like the American Cancer Society have been dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem, there has been VERY LITTLE PROGRESS made in the curing of the deadly disease. Instead, the incidence of cancer has grown exponentially over the last hundred years.
Ten of billions of dollars have been raised by all the fundraising campaigns combined-- and yet, according to the American Cancer Society, there's still a 41% probability that an individual, male or female, will develop cancer in his or her lifetime (or die from it).
Why have all the billions of dollars raised for cancer research been FUTILE in curing cancer ? Many people, including the Chairman of the Cancer Prevention Coalition, Dr. Samuel Epstein, state that the priorities of health organizations that claim to be dedicated to finding a cancer cure are: "economically motivated, and reflect conflicts of interests with the pharmaceutical industry, the pesticide industry, and the mammography industry."
Another reason why attempts at curing cancer have been futile thus far is because the funds raised have been allocated to raising public awareness of the merits of the 3 conventional cancer therapies -- that is, chemotherapy, radiation and surgery.
And yet, Oncologist Dr. Tullio Simoncini states that according to his polls and questionaires, "75% of doctors say they'd refuse chemotherapy if they were struck with cancer due to its ineffectiveness and its devastating side effects."
In fact, the medical journal, "Clinical Oncology", published the result of a study in December 2004, where it was shown that chemotherapy has a success rate of just over 2% for all cancer : (That's a FAILURE rate of 98%)
Therefore, funneling research funds towards the advancement or ineffective therapies that don't eliminate the root CAUSE of cancer will always be a losing proposition.
The fact is, the business of "curing" cancer - or any disease, for that matter -- has become an overcomplicated system that is usually invasive and expensive.
More often than not, it also does more harm than good--and the "good" that it does is limited to relieving only the SYMPTOMS of the disease, and not its CAUSE
Anyone who has ever gone through cancer treatment will tell you that it can be expensive. From doctor's fees to the numerous prescriptions drugs needed for care, many people with cancer find themselves wondering how they are going to pay...even when they have insurance.
But now, there is a simple and natural way that is scientifically proven to eradicate cancer - without the need for surgery, drugs or radiation.
A wellknown company in America has made more than 20 laboratories studies since 1970, the result of the studies show that there is an extract from this plant can effectively destroyed the dangerous cells for 12 types of cancers, such as colon, breast, prostate, pancreatic, etc.. The compound of this plant is 10,000 times stronger than Andriamycin (drug that are used in the chemotherapy) in slowing down the growth of the cancer cells.
National Cancer Institute have also made a scientific study in 1976, results of the study shows that this plant are very effective in destroying the dangerous cancer cells.
Another article was published in National Products, according to the study at University of South Korea, there is one chemical in this herb that can kill cancer cells and is 10,000 times more stronger than Andriamycin.
Disease doesn't have to scare you anymore, nor does it have to make you feel helpless, or worse, dependent on expensive drugs, procedures and therapies offered by organized medicine.
