Cancer can be prevented

We all know that cancer is a killer - if your life has not been touched, even indirectly, by cancer then you are one of very few. Today, almost one in two people will contract some form of cancer in their lifetime.

These facts we know.

What you are not hearing is that most cancer CAN BE PREVENTED. You are not hearing about what is killing us already... and how to avoid this fate.

Who should be responsible?

The government is never responsible for anything - like a small child, the only thing that they have been good for is pointing fingers at the previous administration, and sometimes at each other. The Canadian Cancer Society should be telling you what you can do to avoid being affected by cancer, but are they doing this?

Not even close.

Mostly, the Canadian Cancer Society funds the research that is being done by the big drug companies. If you think for a minute that the big drug companies are busy worrying about preventing disease, you can forget about it. No money to be made in philanthropy I am told.

Take a peek at this video from the CBC - it is very telling of all of this and more...

My message here is quite clear - what the Canadian Cancer Society is doing today with donation dollars is quite clear - funding the big drug companies. I want to send them a message - we want to see change, and we want to see it quickly. We want to know what it is that is killing our friends and family, and we want to know how to stop the insanity.

Please join me in sending the following message to the Canadian Cancer Society - we are not interested in a magic pill - we are interested in preventing this horror, and the science is there to suggest that we can. If the Canadian Cancer Society is not interested in allocating at least 50\% of the funds directed their way at cancer prevention and education, then it will be high time to form a new charity - a charity that is not a lap-dog to the drug companies.
