Long Live Cancer

This Post under construction . . .

The treatment of cancer is one of the most lucrative and resession-proof businesses on earth.

Since the creation of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in 1937 it has been another interesting study of strange bedfellows and follow the money. This little paragraph in Wikipedia gives you a hint. The close association of NCI with BigPharma and the closely related BigChem has resulted in a rather myopic approach to cancer treatment - Nuke, Cut, and Kill. To protect the interests of BigPharma & BigChem, prevention in the form of wise and non-toxic nutrition is purposely ignored.

Flawed Vitamin-E study

Tamoxifin - An interesting study. Tamoxifin has been shown to greatly increase the risk of endometrial cancer - trade one disease for another. Doesn't sound good to me.

Cinnamon - Benefits

I was steered to the benefits of cinnamon by my holistic doctor and a friend. Cinnamon has many medicinal uses including:
+ Increased insulin sensitivity (good for type-2 diabetics).
+ Antimicrobial - inhibits growth of bacteria and fungi - helps control Candida. Try this: slice an apple and put cinnamon on one slice, none on another - see which one turns bad quickest.
+ Improve cholesterol levels - LDL, triglycerides, total cholesterol & blood sugar.
+ Aroma increases brain function, concentration, and memory.
+ Improved colon health and cardiovascular health.
+ Anti-clotting agent.
+ Off the charts antioxidant. Found this on Wikipedia - ORAC explanation.

Just search "benefits of cinnamon" or here is a good site: Monument

Poison from China, etc.

It is sad that greed so often puts the health and lives of others in jeopardy.

I keep hearing of all these recalls and warnings of tainted food and consumer goods from China. A lot of the tainted items are being caught due to the diligence of the New York State Department of Agriculture. In appreciation for their due diligence, I went to their web site, then to the 'contact us' page and sent them a big 'Thank You'. Here is an interesting link to what they've found lately. Of course you can always go to the FDA site for more goodies.
