Guidance system fails on bombs...

How can we possibly embark on yet another war against Libya? While we drop bombs on Libya under the guise of ‘humanitarian efforts’ to stop a dictator from slaughtering his own people, hundreds of thousands of innocent people are in the midst of chaos and ultimate disaster as they cling to hope and life in Japan. We should be concentrating all of our efforts on true humanitarian efforts like dropping food and water in Japan, not bombs in Libya! Not to mention the fact that we still have areas in our own country that haven’t been fully restored from natural disasters like hurricane Katrina and the Gulf oil spill.

Gadhafi is killing his own civilians under the guise that they are ‘rebels’. Egypt just went through a revolution without our involvement and so have many other countries. Why do we continuously feel it necessary to become the police to the entire world? In this case - is it because gas prices are escalating – or are gas prices escalating because of the conflict? Either way – if we had our own issues in check in this country, then MAYBE, just maybe we could mettle in others’ business. We need to concentrate our battles against enemies domestically before fighting any wars abroad.

Let’s start with heart disease – 3000 American citizens die daily in the good ol’ USA due to heart disease – most of which is totally preventable. Wanna make a difference domestically? Drop bombs (metaphorically) on McDonalds, Starbucks, fast food restaurants, convenience stores and other culprits who are poisoning our society and killing our civilians under the guise that they are actually serving us “food” (I use the term lightly).  Yeah, there will be many casualties in the ‘bombing raid’ on fast food (mostly financial to big business), but other casualties will be faster and less painful than the deaths people will die from living addicted to the crap that these companies call food.

I implore Americans to start a wave of grass-roots reform today. Let’s fight for what’s really important in life – LIFE – and the ingredients essential for life. Oil is not a necessity to live – there are alternatives. What happens in Libya doesn’t have to be our business right now. When we focus on what we can control, situations previously out of our control will fall into place. If we all collaborate and focus our efforts in a positive direction, the world will become a positive place! That’s what grass roots reform is all about.

Does Deodorant Cause Cancer?

For years there has been a notion often heard through the grapevine that deodorant causes cancer, but is it true? Let’s explore the idea logically from a common sense point of view.

First, we were not born wearing deodorant, nor was it created naturally in nature like an apple; therefore, it is not natural. Anything not purely natural could be a suspect in the cause of cancer and other diseases.

Second, the lymphatic system is the body’s septic system and is responsible for removing toxicity and waste from the body. The lymph system is about 94% water and also holds the greatest concentration of white blood cells (the soldiers that defend our body). One of the greatest concentrations of lymph nodes in the body is in the armpit. Approximately 8% of our bodies’ overall detoxification occurs through sweat. 8% doesn’t sound like a lot, but how would you feel about cutting off 8% of your arms or legs – or losing 8% of your brain? Anyway, we block the release of toxic sweat by coating our armpits with deodorant and anti-perspirant. By the way – anyone who would disagree on the argument that we don’t detox very much through sweat – has obviously never done a hot yoga class!

Next, deodorant contains many un-natural chemicals and man-made ingredients. Aluminum is one such ingredient. Aluminum, when absorbed into the body, could potentially be linked to autism, Alzheimer’s disease and even cancer. Some may argue that these substances aren’t absorbed into the body – others may contest that the small doses of these substances are approved by the FDA (funeral directors’ association) and are okay for our use. Right – so explain to me how the FDA approved birth control “patch” works – as well as nicotine strips applied to the skin and absorbed into the body. As for the small dosage – think about this – most people who wear deodorant do so out of habit – EVERY day of their life – which adds up to a whole lot of quantity.

Think about this – the next closest soft tissue to the armpits is the breasts. Not only are the breasts susceptible, but the lymph system eventually connects to every cell in the body through fluid transfer. What if one day it was discovered that deodorant plus a few other common-place modern practices and products were actually the leading and only causes of cancer?! Don’t expect deodorant/anti-perspirant to be pulled from the shelves any time soon – it’s a billion dollar industry.

What do you THINK? Use your common sense – and your shopping dollars wisely. What we buy determines what companies produce and stores sell. My message to doctors, pharmacies, scientists, awareness and fundraiser groups “For the Cure” – stop looking for a cure and focus on the causes. Often times they are right under our noses (or armpits).
