November is National Lung Cancer Awareness Month
Back in the 1980s I worked at a health insurance company and interestingly one of the things I remember best about that job was my boss (Paul) who smoked cigars nonstop throughout the day. As you may recall (if you are as old as me!), smoking used to be allowed in public places, including business offices. So, Paul would light up and stink up the office all day long. Whenever I had to go...
Ditch the pink ribbons & prevent breast cancer
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and everywhere you go, you see pink ribbons symbolizing monies donated for breast cancer research. Let’s look at this “research,” shall we? BILLIONS of research dollars have been raised over the last several decades to “find the cure,” yet cancer is still our number 2 killer. So, what have all these billions of dollars bought us? Lots of pretty pink ribbons? And the maddening thing here is...
The best, most delicious cancer fighting foods!
As you probably know, I’m not a big fan of “awareness” events, especially when they revolve around health issues like cancer. Whether you know it or not, most of the money raised in cancer awareness events goes to drug and genetic research. We’ve spent trillions of dollars in cancer research since President Nixon declared his “War on Cancer” in 1971. But it remains our #2 killer. Clearly, we’re dropping the ball somewhere. While it’s...
What you might not know about colon cancer
Back in 1978 (when I was 15 years old) and a mere six months after my father died suddenly, my mother was diagnosed with colon cancer. I remember being terrified at the prospect of losing both parents within a short time of each other, and colon cancer seemed like such a mystery to me. Thankfully, it’s no mystery anymore (more on that below), but back then it seemed like anyone was fair game for...
This could be Nature’s perfect nutrient—do you get enough?
A study was conducted by Harvard researchers that established 12 risk factors that were considered to be preventable causes of death. As you would expect, high blood pressure and smoking were ranked up at the top. But coming in at a noteworthy number 6 was an Omega-3 fatty acid deficiency! That may surprise you, but when you look at the many ways Omega-3 fatty acids support your health, it becomes clear that being without...
You can’t live without these--take care of yours
Back in my health insurance days in the early 80s, I used to have a boss (Paul) that smoked cigars pretty much nonstop. As you may recall (if you are as old as me LOL), smoking used to be allowed in public places, including business offices. So we would witness Paul lighting up throughout the day. Besides the stench of what I assumed were cheap cigars, I was very aware of Paul’s breathing, which...
