Hello Everyone,

I'm really not sure if this is the correct category to speak about health issues, as this topic does'nt have to do with me ... but ... it was inspired by my loss of a GOOD friend whom I loved deeply ...

Sooooooo, it is my prayer that someone may read this & be encouraged to share their personal overcoming story ... Amen? Or at least visit the URL info. below, to at least gleen a deeper understanding about this disease we call - Cancer.


Beloved,

Ask yourselves:


Why should "I" care about this???

Do I have it???

At what age is this disease most likely to strike???

How old am I??? When was the last time I had a complete physical examination???

Whom have I loved & lost, as a result of this most debilitating disease???  Hmmm???

How long has medical science been aware & actively sought to develop treatment for this disease??? Do you know???  Should you know???  [/color]


Cancer

What is it???


"...Cancer is the general name for over 100 medical conditions involving uncontrolled and dangerous cell growth. Scientists suggest that some cancer is caused by genetic factors, while other forms are caused by environmental conditions. In other words, one patient may already have a family history of breast cancer while another was exposed to a carcinogenic (cancer-causing) chemical in a factory. Both suffer from cancer--the only difference is the root mechanism which triggered the abnormal cell growth..."

Saints,

Now, I'm not remotely licensed in, nor experienced in the intellectually - opulent field of medicine, yet I'm concerned!!!  I'm concerned that more & more of them whom WE'VE all held (either personally, or from a far) most dear, are losing the fight for life daily ... because of IGNORANCE, as in the FEAR of knowing ... KNOWING about our temples ... as in what is in them that is good, and what is in them that is deadly/foul!!!

Oh sure, we saints tend to be the FIRST to sound off about ungodly behavior, yet we are the LAST to look in the proverbial mirror???  What is it that we would see???  What is it that we TRULY fear???  Is it death, or is it knowledge???  Hmmmmmm??? 

Then ... the final question ... Whom is it, on THIS day, that "WE" shall choose to serve ... GOD (the Creator, who desires us to walk in love, peace, and Divine health ... right here on THIS earth) or mammon (passively accepting the propaganda / the hype held tightly within the annals of the American dream) ???
