INCREASING LIFE EXPECTANCY BY 3 1/2 MONTHS -    The average consumer believes our medical community is diligently working hard to develop the Cure for cancer.

The $2,000,000.00 Cost To A Family To Save A Child From A Cancer Diagnosis - Cancer is one of the most feared diagnoses anyone faces.

The Impact Of Media - Who was the first man to land on the moon? Most of us can answer this question without great difficulty.

CHOOSING BETWEEN FOOD AND DRUGS WHILE UNDERGOING CANCER TREATMENT - After recently seeing an advertisement for a new drug (Neulasta) that is used during chemotherapy to increase white blood cell production I had to write this post.

THE AWAKENING Part I - Where do our beliefs come from? As children, we are exposed to parents and siblings, friends, educators and spiritual leaders.

An example might be, “the creation of a […]

Putting Off Cancer Screenings - No one likes to talk about disease and cancer, but avoiding these subjects won’t make the reality of them disappear.

Winning The “War” On Cancer? - The more I research the technical aspects of health and disease, the more I realize how important COMMON SENSE is.
