Although I am not a regular golfer, I still love the game.  Aside from playing, golf is my favorite spectator sport which is why, when I heard about the following report, I was mortified!

Experts are finding that golfers, even non-golfers who simply live near or on golf courses, are experiencing alarming increases in cancers of the brain, large intestine, liver, lung and prostate.

Are you one of the many people who always wanted to live next to a golf course?  Until golf courses change the way they take care of their greens and fairways, you are lucky you don’t.

In one recent study, by the University of Iowa, it was found that just working as a golf superintendent significantly increased the risk of developing one of these cancers and the risk of those actually maintaining the course, is even higher.

So what gives? According to some researchers, the culprit is 2,4-D —- one of the herbicides landscapers use to keep courses green and beautiful.

This weed killer was developed by a British research team at Rothamsted Experimental Station during World War II.  Their goal was to increase crop yields for a nation at war. Read the rest of this entry »

Why Brain Cancer Killed My Friend Harry!

[ Enjoy Article Via: YouTube Video :  MP4 Video for i-Phones :  MP3 Audio ]

My friend Harry died Saturday night.

Harry was a gem and loved by many.

Chemotherapy and radiation did him in.

Over a year ago Harry went to his doctor because he wasn’t feeling well.  He was diagnosed with a brain tumor.  A team of doctors recommended surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation.

Slash — Burn — Radiate!

Harry of course didn’t catch a brain tumor, he developed it over the years.  How many?  Hard to tell.  Could have taken ten, twenty, thirty years.

Harry was a sugar-holic, and sugar feeds cancer.  Dr. Otto Warberg won a Nobel prize for this discovery many years ago.  Harry was also not too strict on other foods he ate.

It’s an old story, like so many others Harry got his body chemistry out of whack and so began, for him, the journey to brain cancer.  We know that others taking this same journey may develop breast, colon, prostate, pancreatic or other cancers, but for Harry it was brain cancer.

What’s tragic is that so many Americans have been brain washed by the American Cancer Society, Susan G. Koman Foundation, American Medical Association, the FDA, and other organizations that have sucked up billions of dollars for research to discover the cure for cancer, with no cure in sight from these researchers.

Using fear and marketing ploys such as “run for the cure”, etc. these organizations suck dollars out of the pockets of millions of people to fund research programs that are supposed to find the cure for cancer.

But they lie.  The money mostly goes for their inflated salaries and “make work” days. Read the rest of this entry »

Can Asparagus Cure Cancer?

Recently we received a copy of an email that has been floating around the Internet for some time now implying that asparagus cures cancer.

The email introduced the origin of the story and several testimonials from people with claims that asparagus did indeed cure their cancer.

Wow!  That simple?  Asparagus?  So I did my research and lo and behold, there is a basis for their claims.

Although there are no valid scientific studies to back up their claims, there is enough nutritional evidence as to the anti-cancer properties of asparagus that one organization has filed for a grant to begin these studies.

And from all I have read with regard to asparagus and cancer, I would encourage you to eat your asparagus if you have cancer or wish to prevent cancer.

The following is a copy of the email article.  Following that is a biochemist’s explanation of why we should include asparagus as part of our protective arsenal. Read the rest of this entry »
