For someone with a family afflicted by various forms of cancer, I appreciated this insight and your brave handling of the issue. It is absurd and ironic that we expect these corporations to manage our diseases, when they in fact, are causing them. Best to you with everything!

(read via Counterpunch). <br />This fits right in with conversations we've been covering about the 'pink ribbon'ing' of breast cancer as a feel-good cause, while orgs like Komen Foundation partner with corporations who are known polluters & planet poisoners (not to mention gun manufacturers & KFC chicken!) <br />I hope the points you make & questions raised will be discussed widely!

I'm a physician (at UW Health,) and I've grown more and more disheartened by the failure of Western medicine to raise even the slightest objection to the relentless poisoning of the planet, even though its effects on human health by just about any definition become plainer and more dire by the day. Instead, we build digestive health centers to screen for all the colon cancers such poisoning causes. It's lunacy. Couple that with the manifestly unsustainable nature of modern industrial medicine, which you allude to in other posts, and you have a system that has at best a failing grasp on what it even means to be healthy, or to have health.<br /><br />Again, very thoughtful and bracing essay, which I am sharing with friends. Thank you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07703899484606730588noreply@blogger.com
