Take a look at this article on the benefits of quality fish oils and the damaging and monopolizing position big pharma takes when it comes to our health.
Personally, I believe that there is a place for conventional and holistic medicine. I went through chemotherapy myself and was pumped full of horrible drugs every two weeks for months. I also made some major changes in my diet and lifestyle, and am now cancer-free. Could I have beaten the cancer without the chemo? Maybe. I would even say, probably. In any case, eastern and western medicine can often work together, and there are benefits to both depending on the circumstances. It might be in our best interest to begin to consider what changes in diet, lifestyle and herbal supplementation can do for us before we begin taking drugs that may be putting a band-aid on symptoms, but in many other ways are just hurting us.
My hope and belief is that my cancer will not come back, BUT if it did, before jumping into chemo and/or surgery again, I would do my best to help my body heal naturally. Our bodies are pretty amazing and when given the right tools, such as a healthy diet, they can heal just about anything.

Rat Poison Drugs...
NaturalNews Tip of the day (from Mike):
"Have you seen all the recent news reports warning people to avoid 30 different herbs if they're taking certain medications like warfarin, a blood thinner? (Also sold under brand names of Coumadin and others...) It's funny how the media always says "Stop taking the herbs!" when they should really be saying, "Stop taking the rat poison drugs!" Warfarin, as many of you already know, is indeed made out of rat poison. It's not an urban legend, it's a chemical fact. It works to kill rats by thinning their blood until they die from internal bleeding -- the same result experienced by some patients who overdose on the drug. Interestingly, the media never tells people to stop swallowing rat poison... they'd rather scare you into avoiding herbs."

Today's article in the New York Times was contributed by one of my favorite food/health gurus, Michael Pollan! It's a must read!!!
Did you know that three-quarters of health care is spent on preventable diseases, most of which are linked to DIET? Unfortunately it's more profitable for the health care industry to treat these diseases rather than work to prevent them. Check it out!
