As far as you being drenched in chemicals, why do some of us get cancer and others don't? No one knows the answer to that. My husband's family farms and his grandmother died of cancer, his dad has cancer, and uncle has cancer. Why? Who knows? If we knew why some of us get cancer and others don't then we would be rich.

Hi Peg,
The cause of cancer is well known by many, but there is little money to be made in its prevention. The money is in the making of the thousands of high-carbohydrate foods, trans fatty acids, prescription drugs which are largely ineffective and cancer treatments which are largely ineffective.
Dr. Robert C. Atkins was a brilliant cancer doctor for which he is less well know than his weight loss program. He wrote the first chapter in the book,
Alternative Medicine Definitive Guide to Cancer.
Cancer can be prevented by:
Eating a low-carbohydrate diet with lots meat, fish, fowl and low-carb vegetables that are purchased in their raw, unprocessed state.
Take cod liver oil for the omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D. The deficiency of vitamin D is strongly linked to many cancers like breast cancer and prostate cancer.
Drink water from a reverse osmosis water system with a UV lamp as a disinfectant treatment.
Take a good vitamin, mineral and supplement program as recommended by Dr. Atkins.
Prepare and serve food with glass, ceramic or stainless steel cookware.
Thing to avoid in order to prevent cancer are:
Never eat hydrogenated oils, trans fatty acids.
Avoid carbohydrates, especially sugar, white flour and white rice.
Avoid omega-6 fatty acids except GLA found in borage oil. The natural omega-6 fats in meat are sufficient.
No not microwave food.
Avoid plastic in the storage, preparation and serving of food. Some are better than others. Foggy plastics that leave a taste in water are the worst.
Don't smoke and avoid excessive alcohol.
Avoid over-the-counter and prescription drugs.
Avoid the numerous industrial and household chemicals, dusts, radiation, x-rays, etc. As an example: automotive brake cleaner causes brain cancer and PVC causes cancer.
Women should not use birth control pills or patches.
Menopausal women should not use estrogen hormone therapy but should use natural progesterone cream. Men over 50 should use the cream as well.
Mammogram x-rays are highly suspect as causing cancer.

Paranoia cancer fears are:
Farming and lawn chemicals when used and applied according to the directions are not cancer causing. This does not apply to sales persons and those in the business of applying the chemicals who must take extra precautions. A relative was a salesman for a vegetation killing chemical company (agent orange) and drove around with it in his car trunk. Within five years he developed brain cancer but has survived with brain damage.
The chances of getting struck by lightning are much greater than getting cancer from eating conventional vegetables. Organic foods are a FRAUD. One store was selling "organic sugar" as healthy.

Red-meat and saturated fats do not cause cancer but are healthy foods that prevent many diseases including cancer.

As for the lawns, we use an organic weed and feed. It contains a mixture of long-lasting organic fertilizer and ground corn cobs (helps the farmers -- we're using what would be waste products) to inhibit weed growth. It works and I don't have to worry about letting my grandkids go out into the yard to play ball or play on the swing set.

Peg, you buy weed and feed fertilizer for your lawn and let the grandkids play in it. I doubt that is a problem but it seems to be contrary to your previous concerns. The ground corn cobs in fertilizer is a scam. It is just a method of selling some worthless waste material for a high price. There may be some value for the grass but the amount applied is certainly nil.
