Most of us have lost a loved one, or know someone who has, to cancer. Today, it is the second deadliest disease behind only heart disease. I have a theory as to why it is so widespread today.
Forty to fifty years ago, this disease was near the bottom of killer diseases. In that time, most rural folks lived on a family farm. They grew their own fruits and vegetables, and raised their own stock. Then, the family farms started to dwindle away and in came the mega producers. To meet the demands of a growing population they began using pesticides and other enhancing chemicals to make the crops produce faster and make bigger produce. They injected hormones into cattle and other stock to mature faster and to produce more milk faster.
All these things also made their way into our water supply. I believe all these things combined to bring forth cancer. It is a by-product of our growing population and, now, way of life.
I have lost loved ones to this growing epidemic. I watch two of my aunts suffer and wither away. It was heart wrenching to watch this happen and know I could do nothing to save them.
With all of our medical advancements, why can we not find a cure? If a new string of flu arises, they have a vaccine within weeks. They can clone most anything now from DNA, but can't cure cancer. Something just don't seem right about that. I hope I have given you all something to think about. I don't know how to reverse this way of doing things or even if its possible at all. Maybe it's just one of those things that we will have to endure.
Until next time, safe travels.
