When I look back through the archives of this website it proves really interesting. Indeed most of the blog post are informative and insightful to cancer awareness, prevention through nutrition and exercise. Also over the course of the last several months, sprinkled within are many a story of successful cancer survivors whom produced long term survival through knowledge, mindset and being courageous in their fight finding their own answers to cancer through perseverance.
Some of the highlights of the website are Chris Wark, Kris Carr and Dr. Carl O. Helvie and how they passed upon the traditional same ole ~ same old of conventional medicine. What irritates me mostly about how we battle cancer in the States, is “why” we aren’t coached about options that work and don’t work from the solid evidence that is out there. Hopefully, what this website provides with the information that’s in it is solid reference to the visitants that enter into it!!!
This website…. isn’t about prescribing a toxic pill with side effects or even a supplement that one doesn’t take long enough to work. What it does is showcase what had worked for someone else in the past with an alternative or option you can turn to in moments of need. Solitarius.org will also take you to far away places showing the contrasting lifestyles my first stop in June will be to India’s Lifestyle & Culture/spices.
One of the first contrasting lifestyle changes between Punjab shows a high cunsumption of “chapatis” as a staple food. Closely related to a grain, chapatis a bread is prepared with a variety of flours such as wheat, rice, maida, besan et… cetera. Whereas in Kashmir mostly all dishes are prepared around a main course of rice and ‘Saag’ that is prepared with a green leafy vegetable known as ‘Hak’.
In the Punjab Agricultural Belt of India comes to you a cancer crisis. Dr. Manjeet S. Jaura, Senior Oncologist at Faridkot Medical College receives a staggering 30 to 35 new cancer cases daily at this National Cancer Control Programme in Faridkot. While rates of cancer deaths in India are 40% lower in adult men and 30% lower in women than in the United States.
There is definitely an increased prevalence of cancer in the Punjab agricultural region of India. Where on average 70 to 100 cancer patients wait on a platform in a station for The Cancer Train to Faridkot Medical College daily. The cancer inflicted on this train are small farmers from a district south of the Sutly River in Punjab: Bathinda, Moga, Mukstar, Ferozepur, Sangrur, Patiala and Mansa.
Known together as the Malwa region, farmers and families here are grappling with cancer and health issues that have crept into their homes through their backdoor. Where within their fields hide a scary tale of realism, farmers live in a disturbing cesspool of toxicity, resulting from excessive and unregulated use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Add to the recipe of contaminated water with heavy metal toxicity and you have a lethal cocktail.
Every village with a population of 3,000 to 5,ooo people having at least 30 cancer patients in that same time frame. Consider this also: the government registry for 2004 – 2005 found cancer prevalence rates of 68 to 115 per 100,000/male and 92 to 116.5 per 100,000/female (with oesophageal, lymphoma and luekaemia, also uterine & breast cancer prevalent in women.)
Even with these adverse conditions…. influencing the cancer rates of this region. The foremention rates pale in comparsion to our here in the United States (even in the agricultural areas of our country.) Telling me that pesticides and chemicals may not play as important factor as we think. India had over 500,000 cancer deaths in 2011 with a robust population of 1.22 billion people and 65% of that population below the age of 35 years old.
Considering here in the United States where our cancer prevalence rates are 300+ per 100,000 where are we going wrong. Some experts state it could possibly be our Western Diet or a result of an aging consensus. While others state we might not be as health conscious as our India counterpart, a place whom realizes no one is going to take care of them and prepare for the worse. India has a poor health care system made worst by unaffordable medical insurance…. with only a miniscule of their population being able to afford medical care.
