Amazing. Today I learned of three people who have cancer. What is going on? Well I am not one to claim to know much but I do know this...
First of all, the ground in which we grow our food is depleted...there are very few minerals in it. Vegetables and fruit are only going to have 'good stuff' in them if they are grown in good stuff.
Some dear friends of ours do 'beyond organic vegetable gardening'. They not only 'dont' use dangerous and cancer causing chemicals but they feed their soil with minerals and nutrients.
So, we have our plants growing in soil that is void of any good thing and to add insult to injury; we add poison, chemicals and other dangerous ingredients to our plants. Hmm.
Then, as if this wasnt enough, we highly cook or process the food once it is out of the ground! This is all assuming that we are even eating fruit and vegetables in the first place! Did you know that there is no way to wash the pesticides off a strawberry? It is too porous. By the way, are you washing your food before you hand it to your little one? Scrubbing removes 80% of surface insecticides, soaking in a vinegar solution for 3 minutes will remove virtually all of it from most vegetables and fruit.
Now let us talk about our meat. Sigh! Cattle, and hogs fed growth hormones, antibiotics and given random vaccines...then when they get to the market they are pumped up with coloring and additives!
Chicken...ugg...commercial chicken, because of the way they raise the chickens~the meat is completely saturated with feces material. Ugg. And dont forget the antibiotics, hormones etc that they are given as well!
What about our grains? Even if we do 'bake our own bread'. First the bible says 'Give us this day our daily bread'. When we make bread daily we do not have the problem of rancid wheat. So, most of us normally eat rancid grain. This is also grain that has been grown in poor soil with insecticides and pesticides unless it is organic.
And last but not least. Water. If you live in the city and have fluoridated water... did you know that fluoride was first invented and used as a rat poison? It may kill some bacteria on your teeth yes but it is hardly worth the side effects of consuming a poison. NOTE: see on the label. Do not swallow. They don't say why but they are correct. I think that a poison that should not be swallowed should not be put into my childs mouth! Well then you have organic or fluoride free toothpaste...great. But, it has glycerin in it.The glycerin coats your teeth so your teeth cannot breath or remineralize. So tooth powder is best. It tastes horrible however, so I brush my littles teeth with Xylitol.
So all of this to say, is it any wonder that we are inundated by cancer everywhere we look? I have good news tho!
We stayed with a sweet family for Resurrection weekend..as I mentioned they do beyond organic gardening. 'He' was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and had a tumor removed. Instead of choosing the deadly path of chemo and radiation he decided to 'juice' his way to health. With organic fruit/vegetables. Success story; that was ten years ago. Now he works and lives to grow good food for others of the family of faith. In all of our state I don't know of anyone else that has the quality of vegetables that he does! What a blessing!
So, eat as well as you can, wash what you eat, cut down or out sugar (use xylitol or stevia instead), filter your water, take quality supplements, and whenever you can; eat farm fresh eggs, raw milk and organic grass fed meat. May the Lord preserve us in this perverse generation of processed lifeless food!

WOW! And I thought I was doing a great job eliminating artificial sweeteners and colorings and high fructose corn syrup from our diet.
That IS a great job! Keep up the good fight! Every change or good choice we make adds up. Just like we can nickle and dime our hubbys we can nickle and dime our way to good health! We just do the best we can as often as we can! Gods grace takes care of the rest:)
We try to do all of these things everyday. With a family of 10 it is $$ to buy all Organic but I try. I am having the hardest time finding a good toothpaste any sugg? How do you filter your water? We have city water and I try not to buy bottled water because it sits in plastic.
Great info:)
Yes it is VERY expensive for our family to buy all organic as well. We can usually afford it at the beginning of the month but not towards the end!:)Kroger often has sales on their organic but if you at least properly wash vegetables and take supplements, it is the next best thing! We use a tooth powder that we buy from Lucky vitamin. For the kids, I literally buy powdered xylitol (it comes from fruit)and scrub their teeth with that and then they 'swish and swallow' with a bit of black walnut. That helps with bacteria. (As a side note, black walnut also helps with parasites!)
As for your water, many little towns do not add fluoride or they only add it at certain times of the year. We are on property with a well now, but when we lived in town we purchased a Brita pitcher that filtered water. The filters had to be purchased regularly but we only used it for drinking water and making tea etc. You are correct about the plastic~great point! Keep up the good work!
We've resolved to read the labels of those items we regularly stock our shelves with. If there is something we don't recognize, we research then make a decision as to whether or not we ditch it. For instance I just discovered our butter has artificial flavors in it. Really, butter?!? So its gone!
The sad part about it is, raw milk and raw butter are so important for our bodies. Why do we have so much gluten intolerance etc? Because we are consuming pasturized milk products. All of the good bacteria is dead before we consume it! I failed to mention 'paraben' anything is toxic...that is usually only in skin/hair care products tho! Sigh! WE just do our best and the Lord will take care of the rest! Blessings!
Good stuff here too! Thanks for sharing.
