Run for the cure. Relay for Life. Run for Cancer. Very nice.
The events to raise money for a cure will re-occur once more.
Tons of moneys raised. But I really wonder, wouldn't it be preferable to not get cancer in the first place? I would rather see a cancer prevention strategy employed. It would start with the easiest and most obvious solutions.
Fluoridation of the city drinking water is such a front runner in the pursuit of preventing cancer.
In 1937 Dr. Burk did complete a peer reviewed study that shows a clear fluoridation/cancer link. There have been similar studies since, that have been suppressed, but not disproved.
It is so obvious to me, that if fluoride has any oral-health benefit, then only direct application to the teeth would be sensible. The Canadian and American Dental Associations
have consistently advised against ingesting fluoride in toothpaste or mouthwashes.
There are contrasting opinions on any oral-health benefit of fluoride.
A simple search on the Internet will produce many varying opinions. Dr. Burk's findings are, that one in 100,000 will die of fluoride-caused cancer each year in America.
His findings have never been disproved.
Fluoride may have real medical uses, as with thyroid suppression for those with overactive thyroid conditions.
The other side of that, is that forced, mass-medicating without the consent of the informed is resulting in a citizenry experiencing reduced thyroid function as well as impaired immune systems, causing stubborn infections and cold and flu's that hang on for months, not weeks, as with healthy unfluoridated persons.
Prevention is not getting the attention it deserves.
Could it be that the cancer treatment industry risks losing much-needed sick people to justify the million dollar treatment price tag?
Somebody is getting rich, and someone else is dying because of it.
