I am personally aware of how hard it was to see, Ann, one of my daughters, struggle with the pain of the treatments for her breast cancer. After many long months in the hospital, Ann, in 1995, was relieved of all of her pain as she left us and went to be with the Lord. Her parents, her husband her brothers and sisters, her two children, her friends, her many young autistic students - - all of us, still miss Ann very much.

But, today, because of the many improvements in breast cancer prevention and care,
thousands of lives are being both helped and saved worldwide, every year. In this
way, other families are spared the heartache our family has experienced with our
loss of Ann. But, much more research needs to be done and research, as you know,
costs lots of money.

If you know anyone with breast cancer, you have first hand knowledge of the pain,
the upset and the struggle that must be endured with today’s ways of treating this
kind of cancer.

Back in ‘95 I’d have given anything and paid any price to simply reduce Ann’s
agonizing pain. One of the aims of breast cancer research is to find better ways to
diagnose and treat those with breast cancer. So far, there is no sure cure, but there
are lots of newly discovered and less painful treatments available. These have been
discovered by intensive research and then put into practice. In this way the suffering
of breast cancer patients is much less in many ways.

Ann’s husband has this to say about his wife:

“Ann was diagnosed via a mammogram in October 1993 shortly after we got home
from our year in Israel. By the time she was diagnosed her cancer was stage 4
metastasis and had spread to her hips and liver. She had a mastectomy and then
radiation and chemotherapy. In June of 1994 she had massive chemo with stem cell
transplant at the University of Pennsylvania. In fact, she had her stem cell infusion
on July 5. I well remember how we watched the July 4th fireworks from a hospital
room overlooking the Delaware River. She seemed to do a bit better for a while after
that.

In June of 1995 I was invited to a conference in Cambridge England. Ann went with
me and we spent some time in London. We took a wheelchair with us because she
could not walk for any long period of time. By the end of the trip she was not feeling
well and when we got home we immediately called her oncologist. She entered the
hospital the next day. The cancer had reinvigorated and had spread pretty widely.
She was in St. Luke’s until she died in August. There are a lot of things that she
endured. I had to give her injections every day for almost a month before her stem
cell procedure. I don’t remember how many major and minor surgeries—
mastectomy, catheter placement, catheter removal, etc. She spent over three
months in the hospital during her treatment. She endured it all with grace and
courage. She mostly worried about the kids and me. She was a remarkable person
and I miss her very much.”

Before her marriage Ann, who was 43, had been an excellent, and dedicated teacher
of autistic children. Those who worked with Ann and the children were often filled
with astonishment and praise for the way Ann so lovingly cared for “her kids.” She
treated each one as a special person and did her very best to comfort, teach and
help them in every way.

Even after her marriage, she and her husband often invited the children to spend a
weekend with them in their home. In this way Ann tried to help the children’s
parents so they could have a couple of day’s relief from the constant care that
autistic children always require.

So, if you would like to donate some of your money toward breast cancer research,
here is an easy way to do it: order one or more of my useful, comfortable and very
special PINK SLEEP MASKS. I guarantee and promise you that 25% of the money you
send for this special sleep mask will be given directly to one or more of the Breast
Cancer Research Foundations for you and we all thank you for your help.

They say that the pen is mightier than the sword and indeed it is. Now then is the keyboard and word processor mightier than cancer? It very well could be and this is why I would ask that all online article writers put in a good word for those who do research and are working on ways to cure leukemia. In fact with the right level of funding mankind could solve this problem within perhaps a decade or two.

If you have a skill of any kind shouldn’t you use it to help the common good? Shouldn’t we all work to promote the common good and remove those things, which challenge our civilization and people? We are all here for a reason and yet while we are here we can do so much more.

On one online article website there are nearly 30,000 authors, but what if everyone of them wrote one article on Leukemia next week for public awareness, then we might be able to leverage the power of the people or the power of the online writers to do some good in the World.

What would it take for you to write one more article for a special cause? Why not pick 4 special causes each month and simply write on them. That is only one per week, it will not impact your life, but it could make the difference in someone else’s. Do you see what I am writing about? Consider this in 2006.

A very deceptive cancer that affects the prostate, does not start early, but does grow fast once it does start. This cancer like many can be life threatening as well as very damaging. Many people afflicted with this type of cancer do not even realize anything is wrong until it becomes a nightmare.

Prostate cancer affects men and their sexual performance as well as the other sexual functions. More so, older men should be concerned about developing prostate cancer, although it does affect young men as well. Surgery is a choice many have problems dealing with, as it will change their lives forever.

Surgery happens to be the only known treatment of prostate in the medical field. However, this procedure does take your ability to perform sexually, which leaves many with psychological problems. Although people who have the surgery can live long lives, many live with depression. You never have a guarantee that the cancer cells have not moved to other parts of the body.

Herbal treatment for prostate cancer has offered an alternative for people suffering from prostate cancer. This method of treatment is not backed by any medical profession, but mostly by believers in herbal cures. Many believe that early detection of cancer and continued herbal treatment of prostate cancer, you can skip any groups that help you deal with prostate cancer.

Listed below are a few options for herbal treatment for prostate cancer:

• Lycopene- this helps to fight the risk of developing cancer. Tomatoes, watermelons and grapefruits are a good source for lycopene. Lycopene goes deep into the body and helps to reverse the malignant process. Therefore, this herb works well on prostate cancer.

• Saw Palmetto- this helps to inhibit the 5-alpha-reductase and interferes with the DRT as well as working as a phytoestrogen. This helps fight prostate cancer. This herbal treatment for prostate cancer comes from the plant known as saw palmettos.

• Selenium- this is provided from garlic, chicken, grains and shellfish. There has been links to selenium deficiency and cancers. When you take this herb, you build a wall against cancer.

By having, regular check ups and taking a herbal treatment for prostate cancer prevention as well as treatment will allow you a long life. You have to follow the guidelines for how much you need daily for any treatment to work.

When was the last time you tried to buy a plain old deodorant? I’m only asking because I can’t find one anywhere, or rather I couldn’t.

Instead, everywhere sold anti-perspirant deodorants and I just wanted the deodorant without the anti perspirant bit.

Why?

Well, in the last two years I have lost three friends to breast cancer and have had my own personal mammogram scare. Fortunately the biopsy was benign but even so it was a pretty traumatic experience and I began to wonder what on earth is going on.

I read in the paper last week that the rate for Breast Cancer is currently 1:9 and that all women aged between 50 and 69 should receive a free breast examination every two years. Unfortunately those ladies most at risk like my mother who is over 70 years of age don’t qualify.

Another thing I discovered is that in a recent study carried out by Reading University in UK on breast cancer patients, every single tumour contained parabens.

Now parabens are common preservatives in several personal care products. They are derived from petrochemicals and personal and skin care manufacturers have a tendancy to call them ‘organic preservatives’ which gives the impression they are safe.

The reason they are able to do this is because the chemical term for ‘organic’ means anything that contains a carbon atom. Since crude oil comes from decaying leaves and living matter which existed thousands of years ago, its DNA contains carbon. Sneaky, eh?

The problem with parabens is that they mimic estrogen, apart from also causing allergic skin reactions and being eye, skin and respiratory tract irritants.

Found in body creams, lotions, body washes, anti perspirants and deodorants, parabens are used in more personal care products than practically any other synthetic ingredient.

Now deodorants reduce, cover up or eliminate the odours most of us would prefer to remain hidden and anti perspirants slow down the action of the sweat glands. They do this by obstructing the amount of perspiration that can be excreted.

That’s the problem and why I was looking for a deodorant.

You see the sweat retarding agents are normally based on aluminium complexes and I know from bitter experience that aluminium is a neuro toxin. That means it attacks the neurons in the brain. It doesn’t have to kill them, just disrupt them in some way and you get mental problems.

My son is autistic and you can read all about my run in with heavy metals including aluminium in my book Autism, Amalgam and Me - Jodi’s Journey Continues. Aluminium has also been linked to Alzheimer’s disease which has been predicted to triple by the year 2050. It’s a horrible long destructive illness which tears families apart.

But back to the anti perspirant deodorants.

I don’t know if you are aware of it but your skin is often referred to as your third kidney. It is the biggest eliminatory organ in your body and is a two way membrane. It will absorb 60% of whatever you put on it.

Toxins get in through hair follicles and sebaceous glands and are eliminated through perspiration. Now picture the scenario for most women.

We like to keep our underarms devoid of excess bodily hair so we shave. We also like to smell fresh, so we smooth on deodorants or anti perspirants to the area from which we’ve just removed this hair. As toxins enter the body via hair follicles and sebaceous glands they inevitably get inside our bodies but if we then block up our under arm sweat glands by using anti perspirant deodorants, how do they get out?

Seemingly, they don’t and I wonder if that’s why my three friends died of breast cancer and all those women had parabens in their tumours. What do you think?

Apparently a study of 400 American women found that those who shaved three times a week and applied deodorant at least twice a week were almost 15 years younger when diagnosed with cancer than women who did neither.

The answer, therefore, could be to stop shaving and let your natural body odours loose, or find a safer alternative. Thankfully I’ve managed to find just that in a 100% toxic synthetic chemical free deodorant which comes in three different aromas.

It’s organic in the true sense of the word which means it uses only natural substances and methods. I can read and pronounce every single ingredient and as it is Certified Organic to food standards I could theoretically eat it and suffer no ill effects. I don’t intend to try it though. Just putting it under my arm pits, feeling safe and secure in the knowledge I’m not being poisoned is enough.

No more toxic anti perspirant deodorants for me. How about you?
