Reading a great book at present called Life's Delicate Balance written in 2000 by Dr Janette Sherman. The more I get into it, the more I'm convinced this is a 'must read' for every young woman on the planet!
She explores the underlying connections to the breast cancer epidemic we are now witnessing globally, and suggests the following
It's definitely time to change the focus of our attention, where breast cancer is concerned. For too long the money has flowed to the research side of the equation, looking for a cure. Imagine instead, focusing on prevention!
Imagine if young woman were given the opportunity to learn more about what they are exposing their bodies to when they so casually pop the Pill; how they expose themselves to a cocktail of chemicals with their perfumes, hair products, sunscreens and makeup; what happens at the genetic level when they embark on binge drinking & crash diets; and how their daily environmental landscape can potentially be a toxic waste dump!
As a society we have ignored the warning signs, despite the first alerts coming as far back as 1962, when Rachael Carson wrote Silent Spring. I was only 7 years old at that time, and yet the alarm was being sounded then. Now I'm 53, with a 25 yr old daughter, and as I look around my world, I can only conclude that in fact some things are worse than ever!
We women need to take back control of our health, and that of our daughters and grand-daughters and unborn future generations, if this madness called cancer, is to be stopped dead in it's tracks.
Turning the tide is a huge challenge, and calls for us as individuals to become educated, responsible, accountable and a force to be reckoned with !! We need to convince the powers that be, that change is required NOW. Not next month or next year, but NOW ! We need to work together, and share this information at every level of society.
To that end, my intention is to create a new web site in coming weeks, designed to start the ball rolling. If you have any thoughts, ideas, contributions or experiences you'd like to share, I'd be delighted to hear from you. The focus will be on prevention and choices.
