Just some tips!

New to this community and I just thought I'd drop some tips! Some of them you may already use or they're no-brainers, but these are some things that work for me.

CLOTHES

• I once decoupaged the outside of a shoe box and put it in my drawer and put all my underwear in it, folded neatly. This made sure that it would be floating around while I dug for my

Not everything is bad for you and many things that are don't need to be. However, companies poison us because they know that as creatures of habit most people highly value familiar but completely superficial comforts and are reluctant to change. For women it becomes more relevant as anyone who may have a child is harming their future offspring with the choices they make now

It's like truthiness or refudiate. lol

I totally read this in the Charlie Brown teacher voice.

I agree that as a consumer you can buy whatever you want for whatever reason you want.

But as a medical researcher, daughter of a cancer survivor and friend of many who didn't survive, I take issue with the entire concept of saying you can prevent cancer by just avoiding certain classes of products. People don't actively search out cancer. They don't "invite cancer." It's not the patient's fault. And while we can pinpoint the causes of some cancers, most occur for reasons we're not quite sure why.

[And, yes, you can say you can prevent lung cancer by not smoking and prevent skin cancer by not going out in the sun. Except not in all cases. There are people never use a tobacco product and never get a sun burn but skill get those cancers.]

I'm not blaming the patient by any means! Woo, that would be a terrible thing.

I am just stating the case for why it is more sensible not to antagonize disease by using toxic products when we have the power avoid them. By no means did I imply that she should stop using all scents, there are many alternatives. The perfume samples in the magazines are loaded with toxins and it is sad to think about a human being adding one more element to all of the atmospheric radicals our body deals with regularly.

As for hereditary predisposition towards specific cancers, there are activators which flip on and off the activity of various mutations (cancer and beyond) and in the last one hundred years there has been an abundance of both private and federally funded research to prove a major player is excess protein: most specifically casine.

Really?

Because let me quote you: "we have the power to show that we respect ourselves enough and value ourselves enough not to knowingly poison our bodies and invite cancer."

[medamayaki]

As a means of prevention. Not as a cure all.
Did you read that fragment in an isolated context or select it consciously just to be contrary?

Your statement says that people who use perfume are asking to get cancer.

[cheez_ball]

You're not helping your case.

"...it is more sensible not to antagonize disease by using toxic products when we have the power avoid them."

This statement alone implies that a patient could have avoided their cancer by avoiding certain products. For the vast majority of cancers and patients this is simply not the case; their cancers could not be avoided. Not even if they spent their entire lives in sterile bubbles eating a diet of autoclaved organic food and avoiding all manufactured products out there.

"...a major player is excess protein: most specifically casine."

Do you have any peer reviewed research that demonstrates this? Because every single time I've heard about the so-called casein-cancer connection it's been from someone promoting a highly restrictive vegan diet. And my own searches through the peer review find a lot of research on the role of casein kinase but nothing on ingested casein (which is a very different thing from casein kinase).

Now now, you're making sense and using logic again. :)

Uh everyone is born with cancer cells. Its if they "come out" or not. Basic College Biology course.
