Thoughts, Good and Bad and Scary

Recently my very good friend, JaNae, started a great blog dedicated to health in all its various forms and approaches. www.healthonamission.blogspot.com. She invited me give my two-cents occasionally, which was a huge compliment, and awesome because I've been thinking about health a lot lately. I decided my "column" so to speak will be titled, "Simple Observations That Make My Health Easier", and I'll post whenever I have an ah-ha moment or have adopted a new technique that I think makes it easier for Danny and me to be healthy. I don't claim to be an expert or even that I know what I'm talking about a lot of the time. But I will say that I take my responsibility to take care of my body and Danny's body and any other little bodies that might one day come under our care seriously. I am to be the nutritional guardian of my home. It is my responsibility to see that my family is healthy and educated about what to fuel their bodies with and what will poison them.

Did you know they give arsenic to people with leukemia?!!! Arsenic is a poison. A POISON. Pure and simple. It's been a poison of choice for assassins and back-stabbers and usurpers and angry wives for centuries. You administer it in small doses and your victim dies a slow, miserable death. What makes the doctors think that it won't do harm to their patients while still getting to the cancer?? "First, do no harm." Hippocrates taught that, he also taught that food should be your medicine and medicine should be your food. If our bodies make cancer, I believe they can heal cancer with the right nutrients. If anyone has anything to say about the benefits of arsenic, I'd like to hear them. I may sound like I won't believe you, and I may not, but I'm still ignorant about the justification for using arsenic, and I shouldn't be.

I hope all, well the handful of you who are reading this, are keeping up on what's happening in the middle-east and in our government and in Europe. If you're not, please start. If you are and it's not putting a fire under your butt, you aren't thinking about what it all means. There are some globally terrifying things happening, and we are not out of reach even though we may think we are. Please, please, because I love you. Please get prepared to have to FIGHT to keep what little may still be yours.
