Comments on: YET ANOTHER STUDY ON THE POWER OF CANCER PREVENTION http://making-cancer-history.ca/2009/02/27/yet-another-study-on-the-power-of-cancer-prevention/ Wed, 27 Apr 2011 19:39:01 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Algy Goosen http://making-cancer-history.ca/2009/02/27/yet-another-study-on-the-power-of-cancer-prevention/comment-page-1/#comment-56 Algy Goosen Tue, 24 Mar 2009 22:25:18 +0000 http://making-cancer-history.ca/?p=18#comment-56 I applaud the Cancer Society for what you’re trying to do. I’m no Cancer expert, but my brother died of Cancer in his early thirties. It started my own investigation into the possible causes of cancer and my own conclusions are also that prevention is the key. Healthy lifestyle choices are a great thing that we can all do, but I also think there’s a big ‘unseen’ factor in our modern society, namely all the man-made chemicals that are floating around in our blood. These chemicals usually come from the household cleaning products that we use, cosmetics, pesticides on food, the chemicals that are already in the blood of the mass produced meat industry, drugs, paint and other house products, textiles etc. The list by now is very long and I challenge anyone who thinks they’re not affected to have their blood tested. Environmental Defence did a random test of some Canadian Families and most people had no idea of the chemicals (non natural) that they are marinating in. Industries’ usual line of ‘defence’ is something like …it has not been proven to be a health risk… but in the face of an ever increasing occurrence per capita of Cancers in Canada I would add …it has definitely not been proven to be healthy either… To combat this ‘chemical trend’ our family has switched some years ago to organic produce, eco-friendly cleaning products (and minimal use), natural cosmetic products (shampoos, tooth paste etc.), eco-friendly home renovation products (paints etc.) to name a few. In the world of chemicals that we’re submersed in it’s a bit of a minefield, but consumer awareness can change industries very quickly. If we keep buying products laced with a plethora of chemicals, companies will keep producing them. I applaud the Cancer Society for what you’re trying to do.
