Try preventing cancer! Now there's a concept. Remember, while you hear about cancer genes,
the truth is most cancers are environmentally caused. So, unless you want to become a
money-maker for an already huge industry, try getting to know your consumer products . . .
then switch to ORGANICs and safer, more eco-friendly, fragrance-free products. YOU can do
something about your health. Start by stopping believing the advertising slogans, jingles, hype
and poop. AND, take a minute to write to the FDA if you feel the public has a right to know
about the toxins used to make our modern synthetic perfumes in a plethora of products.
Reference FDA Petition 99P-1340 and write to fdadockets@oc.fda.gov. And then check out

Throughout EHN's site, you'll see the caveat that the information provided is just that.
Information. Anything that strikes your fancy or validates your intuitive feelings should be
discussed in full with your health care practioner. Print it out and take it along on your visit.

Could it be that cancer is "incurable" because WE don't want to give up our reliance upon all
of our cosmetics and all of our other synthetically scented products used for personal care, as
well as household and janitorial cleaning and maintenance chores? (This includes pesticides,
which in turn includes disinfectants, as they are classified as pesticides.) Is cancer incurable
because we don't want to give up our "right" to have x-rays every time we turn around?
Despite the advertising, x-rays -- mammograms, full-body screenings -- don't prevent
or cure cancer . . . in fact, radiation is an acknowledged cause of cancer. Despite warnings
about alcohol and tobacco, we prefer to continue our living our life our way. Is cancer truly
incurable because we are imbued with our lifestyle? Do we not see the downside of living through
chemistry? I'll guarantee you that many of the harbingers who are living with MCS will state
that the living through chemistry isn't necessarily "better." I think we all should try for
Safer Living Through Safer Products, Proved Safer Before Marketing. Perhaps, if we did that,
each of us would start making a difference in our lives and the lives of our family. Maybe then
we'll find that asthma, MCS, . . . cancer is PREVENTABLE. Prevent "it" and you don't have
to worry about curing "it"! There are safer, alternative products. Buy and use them.

Do I know a little about cancer and its devastating effects? Yes, but fortunately, beyond three
false alarms raised, not personally. Early on was possible luekemia . . . subsequent blood tests
proved that a dieseas I'd not have to endure at that time (35+ years ago). Then, a false reading
on a PAP test. But instead of going in for surgical procedures, I had the PAP repeated. No
problems. And then, in May 1998, following 11 months being ostracized to a more toxic office in
my former workplace, I was diagnosed with a fast-growing ovarian mass. I didn't rush into
surgery when the CA 125 came back with a very low reading . . . I wanted to see my 60th birthday
with my family all gathered 'round. Besides, in my very being was the notion that the surgery
would have been a success, but a scented someone or something would have sent my blood
pressure soaring, and all the drugs would have sent me to the great beyond. As it turns out, I
turned to acupuncture. A third sonogram, requested by my acupuncturist the end of October 1998
proved that my ovary was healthy . . . I had a benign pedunculated tumor masking as an
ovarian mass. But, I did live with that ovarian mass diagnosis from early May for five and a
half months . . . and I certainly had that feeling of being broadsided by the diagnosis, which really
had confirmed my own suspicions that something was definitely wrong. I still live with my
tumor and use acupuncture and Chinese herbs for pain management . . . and with hope, we'll send
it packing. But cancer has been close to me, through my family.

My father had his lower jaw removed, along with 2/3 of his tongue, the glands in his neck
and his top rib due to cancer at age 60, in 1962. Dad smoked. He had been a handsome man. He
lived with the effects of that surger for seven years. He taught himself to speak again and returned
to his practice of chiropractic within a couple of months. Dad died in August 1969 three weeks
before his 67th birthday from the effects of a stroke . . . also a smoking-related risk.

My father-in-law, also a smoker, also developed cancer of the jaw -- the side opposite my father's.
He underwent his surgery nearly five years after my father had his. My father-in-law's cancer
spread to his lungs and he died in August 1968, 11 months following surgery. If you take time
zones into consideration, it was to become a year to the day before my father died.

My mother developed cancer of the larynx, coming on with a sudden and then lasting case of
laryngitis in May 1975. In January 1976 she had a biopsy taken, which confirmed her illness. She
refused surgery having experienced my father's plight with him. She did take cobalt treatments
and continued working until the day after Labor Day, 1976. She died Sept. 30, three weeks
before her 63rd birthday.

My mother-in-law never really smoked, although in the early years used to fancy herself an
after dinner smoker. She never inhaled, and blinked at the smoke lot -- the effect of her smoking
was not fancy in the least, but it may have saved her. She finally gave up that activity upon the
death of her husband. She lived a rather long, relatively healthy life, dying just five days before
her 98th birthday in 1998. She suffered a broken hip in October 1998 and, while she survived
the surgery, she could not win the battle against congestive heart failure and pneumonia.

My brother had basal cell carcinoma that had to be surgically removed from his eye.

Between my hubby and me, one out of four parents lived a rather long, healthy life. That one
was never a real smoker. Surgery for oral cancers are disfiguring, to say the very least.
Think twice before putting that tobacco product in your mouth.

Today we know I of every 2.5 Americans will get cancer and, I believe, the figure (unless

    http://www.fda.gov/ohrms/dockets/dailys/02/Sep02/091702/800296c0.txt
    From: Dr. James Coleman [info@cancerresearchamerica.org]
    Sent: Saturday, September 14, 2002 2:25 AM
    To: fdadockets@oc.fda.gov
    Subject: Docket No. 01N-0067 - Against FDA Rule
    
    To Whom It May Concern:
    
    I support Consumers for Dental Choice in wanting mercury amalgams classified as
    Class III where the manufacturers would be required to carry the burden of proving
    safety of their products.
    
    I further request that the FDA use the most recent and most relevant research from peer
    reviewed scientific publications in its decision-making process.
    
    I further request a public hearing and REBUTTAL and REPLY after new 60-day Comment
    period, and finally, I request a NEW Advisory Panel regarding mercury dental fillings.
    
    I believe that FDA's existing rule would undermine the efforts by states that have
    developed strong laws with disclosure language on the risks of mercury fillings.

      Academy of Science published a report revealing that for every rad of x-ray exposure,
      the risk of breast cancer increased by one percent. Nine months later the ACS and NCI
      promoted a mammography project in which 300,000 women were enrolled and were
      told that the dose of radiation would be perfectly safe, and that the procedure might
      pick up breast cancer and save their lives. The minimum dose women received in this
      procedure was two rads per mammogram. Some centers administered five rads and
      some ten rads. Think of that ã an increase in cancer risk of two percent, five percent,
      or ten percent by a single test for cancer ã without being informed of the risks! ..."

      "This book uncovers the major cause of the recent breast-cancer incidence
      in the USA. The author shows that past exposure to ionizing radiation ---
      primarily medical x-rays --- is responsible for about 75 percent of the
      breast-cancer problem in the United States.

      "The good news: Since the radiation dosage given today by medical
      procedures can be significantly reduced without interfering with a single
      useful procedure, numerous future cases of breast-cancer can be prevented.

        "Breast-cancer is a largely preventable disease, and we reach that good news because of
        our finding that a large share of recent and current breast-cancer in the United
        States is certainly due to past medical irradiation of the breasts with x-rays --- at all ages,
        including infancy and childhood. Much of today's radiation dosage is preventable,
        without any interference with necessary diagnostic radiology, and hence many future
        breast-cancers need not occur. ..."

    And now for a twist in thinking . . .
    SICK? WELL? ... SUNBATHING HELPS YOU AND EVERYONE
    By Dr. Bernarr, D.C. D.D.
    SUNBATHING DOES NOT CAUSE CANCER OF THE SKIN NOR WRINKLES.
    SUNBATHING HELPS HEAL CANCER OF THE SKIN.
    And Dr. Bernarr writes of Dr. Kime:
    

    Cancer is helped by sunbathing, writes Dr. Zane R. Kime. Kime writes that those who
    get more sunlight have less cancer. Sunbathing heals cancer by building up the immune
    system and increasing the oxygen in the tissues. Sunlight does not cause skin cancer.
    Healthy people do not get cancer and -unhealthy people do get it. Chronic sunburn
    combines with free radicals to cause skin cancer. Sunlight may change free radicals,
    dietary fat, cholesterol and deranged antioxidants via cooked foods into skin cancer.
    Under the influence of sunlight, these toxic foods are brought to the skin. Cooked foods
    have had their antioxidants, particularly vitamins C and E, reduced or deranged by
    cooking. The sources of free radicals are mainly dietary fat, especially polyunsaturated
    fats, but also fats and oils applied to the skin in suntan lotion and other cosmetics.
    Suppression of the 'immune system by drugs may be involved in skin cancer that is
    stimulated by sunlight. X-rays and chemotherapy cause cancer.
