Re: Mick/ now cancer and illnesses

It's so true, one does see more and more illnesses, especially in youths  
that one used to see only in senior citizens.
Had a recent diagnoses of early Glaucoma.  I was shocked at first, but  the 
Dr. said that was very common at my age( 29 and holding.........), that it  is 
not uncommon now to see early stages even in people in their 20's, even  
younger.  She said she herself had diagnosed children even.   
I have lost quite a number of friends in the past 10 years to  illnesses such 
as cancer, heart disease, etc.  All my age or  younger.....not all living 
here.  I don't remember growing up that my  parents ever lost any friends until 
they were much older.

In  addition, our old family doctor predicted (in about 1973) an increase  in
cancers, particularly breast cancer, due to growth hormones fed to  cattle
and  estrogen-mimicking pesticides. He said that we'd know when  the
threshold was reached when  pre-teens showed signs of premature  development
and when we started hearing about men's breast cancer.  A  quick look at any
4th or 5th grade class will show that the first has  happened.  I have two
friends whose husbands are undergoing treatment  for breast cancer. Another
died about a year ago.

Chickens these  days go so quickly from chick to the processor ( a matter of
a few weeks)  that their exposure to pesticides  is likely to be less than it
was a  dozen years ago - though the common commercial diet it  extremely
unsavory.
