"1 in 2 women in Canada will get breast cancer" says the Cancer Society.
We spent $14Billion every year on cancer TREATMENTS in Canada.
Cancer PREVENTION gets something like $1billion , but many say that is too little to spend on prevention.
Actually, like most other posts I make, the problem of prevention is a corporate one. They are not regulated beyond what their competitiveness can bear, and they complain that changing would cost them too much.
The chemical companies are saying their products don't cause cancer because it is too small of an amount of carcinogen in each item. However, we know it is the accumulations of all the products' carcinogens that gets us, we now know that that is the reason every other Canadian will get cancer at some point in their lives.
If you don't believe me, watch CBC's Marketplace show this Sunday eve. [7pm?]
WENDY MESLEY is the host, doing her first show after getting breast cancer. She is p*ssed off, though still alive. She now has a better awareness of what is going on.
She got her blood tested for known carcinogens, and there were plenty. We all have this now, it wasn't so not long ago that our blood didn't have these chemicals in it, when the cancer rates were a small percentage of what they are now. She has made the connection, and it is not denied. Just ignored. [By you too, btw]
She says the heartbreak is that our kids are certain to get it, we didn't get the worst of it as kids like they do nowadays. At current exposures over a lifetimes, the rate will become 1 to 1 chance of cancer in the next generations.
We can change that though, if we stop exposing our kids to these products. The average consumer prchases are the main source for most people. Other toxic sources could be cleaned up too, it won't destroy the economy, thats not realistic.
They know , but they don't act, they have a good thing going. Its economics. Media does not report things like this unless Health Canada reports it to them first, its the way it is done....
Then there is the concern about spending so much on TREATMENTS. It might be better to stop pursuing treatments so money will go to prevention.
Treatment budgets might be motivation for causing cancer - corporations and governments have done worse things, like wars.
Treatments do actually cause cancer - radiation therapy gives you another type of cancer. Thats the way it is done tho. It is not denied.
CURES?? Cancer therapy is all about keeping us on therapy for the rest of our lives, it is not a cure at all.
They even go so far as to say "survival is defined as living for 5 years after diagnosis". So, when we hear stats like people are surviving cancer more now, thats all it means.
Things are much worse overall in the cancer war, not better. And nobody has "officially" found a cause or a cure in all these years of multi-billion-dollar research. Isn't that a bit odd?
The furthest they go is to define dangerous chemicals as "Suspected carcinogens that won't hurt you as long as they are below this level of exposure".
Anyhow, sorry for the long post, I have so much more to say too... but WATCH THE SHOW Sunday eve.
It is called : "Chasing the Cancer Answer"
