Let me explain why I will not participate in "Bare faced for breast cancer" or "Race for Life" races ...
I am best placed to talk about this subject as it is very close to my heart: I lost my mother and one of my sister to breast cancer and last year I had 2 biopsies done on 2 breast lumps...
So let me explain my concern:
The best thing that we can DO to help is PREVENTION . Yes EDUCATING people in living better, taking all the possible measures to PREVENT any disease including Cancer.
Yes, genes are a big factor BUT believe me when I say 80% is down to your LIFESTYLE : preventative eating, low stress living, regular exercise.
I was having this conversation with a Medical Doctor not so long ago ...but they have been brainwashed to cure instead of working on PREVENTING disease. What a shame ! Our society is after quick fixes and miracle cures but the truth is down to US > yes our daily actions, our daily decisions WILL impact on our HEALTH.
Also all the money collected from all these charity events for Cancer is used for Pharmaceutical Research. Surely they should have found an effective cure by now will all this money invested !!! Because chemotherapy is NOT an effective cure > it will guarantee longer living but to what cost ? to its quality of life ? I have seen my sister suffer for 5 years battling with cancer. I have seen my mum in PAIN suffering on chemotherapy. If I were faced with this decision I would refuse chemo to live fully the rest of my living days.
What I am saying is : help in the prevention of disease, let's address the issues of all these huge manufacturers who are allowed to sell all these toxic products on the market which are making people sick, pharmaceutical companies making money at the detriment of the population.
Are the Pharmaceutical companies giving the cures / drugs for free ?
YES it is a money making system to the very high cost of people's lives.
Invest in YOUR health everyday !
Invest in YOUR family PREVENTION > EDUCATE your children in Healthy Lifestyle choices and NOT the easy lifestyle choices.
Invest in YOURSELF & YOUR FAMILY (Not the pharmaceutical companies) >
- It might cost you a little bit more to buy organic foods
- It might require you a little bit more time to cook at home
- It might require some weekly planning adjustments to fit in your daily exercise and for all the family
but PREVENTION is KEY my friends :)
