[New Update: Here is a review of investigative journalist Mark Shapiro's new book, "Exposed: The Toxic Chemistry of Everyday Products." Note that many of the chemicals found in US products are banned in the European Union. Some manufacturers are running dual assembly lines for the same product - safe for Europe, toxic for America.]

The Huffington Post reports that 80-90% of childhood cancers are due to environmental toxins:

Bomber2z found a terrific link to a site that will quickly provide you with information about your local county's toxins and comparative toxic ranking.

Some will argue that the price of living in an industrial society is massive exposure to toxins, and that it is a necessary trade-off for our survival and standard of living. I consider that argument to be disingenuous. To paraphrase a popular TV show from the '70's, "we have the technology." We can operate an industrial society safely if we exert ourselves. The sole reason we are not exerting ourselves is special interests are preventing it.

Sen. Barack Obama talks of the damaging "cynicism" of the ruling elite in the US. That's a euphemism. The right word is "corruption."

On-topic comments or response videos are welcome.

Hi ,Urgelt.:) I wanted to put this here to be as public as possible and help as many people as I can. I found some promising news from PubMed for the future treatment of various cancers. The links to the studies are at my blog. For viewers : razwelldotblogspotdotcom. Look for the article "Cannabinoids Show Promise As A Future Treatment For Various Cancers.

Thankfully, this is genuine science rather than Internet marketing.

Take care, Urgelt.

Hundreds of plant substances seem to have anti-cancer properties. But it seems to be difficult to translate these into "cures." It's perplexing.

When you eat a diet rich in unprocessed plant-sourced foods, you get some protection against cancer that Americans largely forgo. When you add nutritious plant foods to American diets, cancer rates go down. That effect may be all they are seeing in this study of cannibinoids.

But hope springs eternal. Mayhap they'll turn up something more potent.

Divide and conquer! It worked for the British Raj and it works for the cancer cartel. Let there be cancer ascribed to each organ and sub-groups to each of these. Cancer: early detection is the key; the key to maximizing profits.

[Urgelt]

Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by some common traits.

Within the group there is considerable variety in how the diseases manifest, how rapidly they progress through tumors and metasticization, how they respond to the presence or absence of hormones, and how they respond to treatments.

One common trait is this: malignant cells all have genetic damage, and their ability to repair that damage is impaired. But which genes are damaged varies, too.

Let there not be oversimplification.

The safety of a drug in humans can't be established by looking at cows and horses eating grass. You understand that, don't you?

The efficacy of amygdalin has been found wanting in scientific studies. Safety of the drug is an open question, but not one worth answering since it fails on efficacy.

The healing process can only be checked by the hydrocyanic acid found in any of 1,200 seeds, grasses & grains. The modern Western diet is deficient in these essential nitrilocides. Cancer, therefore, belongs to the long list of vitamin-deficiency diseases: night blindness, pellagra, scurvy, pernicious anemia, etc.

@Urgelt : Obviously you've never had cows & horses. They survive on cyanide-rich greens.
