2005 Campaign: Cancer Can Be
Prevented!
Stop Cancer Before it Starts Campaign
According to the Cancer Establishment, the
American Cancer Society and the National
Cancer Institute, 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4
men contract Cancer in their lifetimes. It
is stated that 1 in four of us will die from
the disease. To make matters worse, it is
predicted that by the year 2030, these
numbers will double!!! On any given day, no
less than 1600 Americans die from Cancer.
I lost my Mom at age 56, (she worked for
Revlon cosmetics for 15 years putting
chemicals on women). I have had cancer
myself, recently lost an aunt, a close
friend, and a former coworker to the
disease. I am very angry about these losses
because I know that they were senseless. We
need to educate ourselves and avoid the
toxins that we are exposed to everyday.
We can prevent cancer. I am not talking
about secondary prevention, like self exams,
checkups and mammograms (which actually
CAUSE cancer), I mean, never getting a lump
to have to find. Let's work together!! We
can make a difference!!!
Look around, things are already starting to
change!!! There are more and more health
food stores, more health publications, more
organic items in your supermarkets. It is
wonderful!!! It can also be confusing!!
This is where I can help. I can help you to
learn to read labels and to be aware of
hidden ingredients. I can teach you to find
valid research studies. I have been forced
to learn all of these things because of my
own life's experiences with cancer in my
family. I would not be a very good
person if I didn't pass this information on
to others. My main motivation is that every
educated person becomes an ally in
our fight to make
our lives better.
I have not found another organization that
is as dedicated to Cancer Prevention as the
Cancer Prevention Coalition. In fact, I
was so impressed with Dr. Epstein, his
research and the work of the CPC, that I
have requested a chapter be opened here in
Los Angeles, CA. Because of that, I am now
the Local Office Director for the CPC Los
Angeles chapter. I think this is about the
greatest thing that I have done. We all
need the information that the CPC provides
if we want to stay healthy.
The CPC is non-profit. It is run by
volunteers. We provide awareness of
avoidable risks of harmful ingredient
information to people on a volunteer basis.
If you or your group would like for me to
speak regarding this topic, simply
contact me.
The website for the CPC is
/www.preventcancer.com.
Spend as much time as you can exploring this
site. Dr. Samuel Epstein is an amazing
man. I have met him in person, heard
interviews with him and have been on
conference calls with him. He really knows
his stuff. If you are interested in joining
the CPC or in making a donation that will
truly make a difference,
