Save Our Children!

Women can save the children.   And I believe they will - and I will do all I can to help.   Collectively, Women can be a strong  force of power and it is needed.  Now.  This isn't something for later on - in fact it's been going on far too long already and it is costing us dearly!

Let's realize right now that maybe we didn't KNOW before what we know now - so forget the guilt trip.  Expend your energy instead teaching others, until we ALL know, and we can ALL band together like the Suffragettes of old and make some damn necessary changes!  (I am not excluding men, but I believe in my heart that a mother out to protect her young is the fiercest power and we need that fierce determination right now - Plus we are the ones with the umbilical cords, but we need you too!)

I read an enormous amount of research and health stats.  I read something a few weeks ago that has taken me some time to digest, accept, and write about.  I want to share it because I feel it is critically important - but I want you to know I am doing this with an almost Suffragette spirit.   If enough women know how we are being slowly poisoned and they get mad enough about it, we can CHANGE things, we can make a difference!  We can protect all the children and future generations!  WE CAN!  And you men out there, stand up and roar with us - this is really about the toxic soup we ALL live in, breathe and eat every day.

Children are uniquely vulnerable to environmental toxins - they spend a lot of time crawling around, putting things into their mouths etc.  That is scary enough - BUT - we now know that children are contaminated before they even take their first breath of air!

There is a "brain protector" - a blood brain barrier that shields our brain from potentially harmful substances that may be circulating in the bloodstream.  This barrier is NOT formed until months after birth.

A test study in 2004 of umbilical cord blood from newborns found:

287 industrial chemicals & pollutants - of which
180 are known to cause cancer
217 are toxic to the brain and nervous system
208 cause birth defects or developmental abnormalities

These babies didn't even get born yet, and they are filled with infinite possibilities of diseases no mother would ever ever knowingly offer her kids!  Since there has been a 40% increase in childhood cancers over the last few decades, this is too much of coincidence to take any of these numbers lightly.  Who is paying attention?   These are our children!  Cancer is certainly not the only disease that has increased in the last few decades for these little people.  But the fact that they have been exposed before they are even born tells us we have some changes to make.

Women cannot sit on the sidelines and just watch all this happening and expect anyone, especially our government or medical community to do anything about this.  This detoxification is THE clean up campaign of our lives, women!  This is serious stuff!

I had a comment on my last blog from Jannie that mentioned kids with cancer and boy I agree there are too many kids with cancer - one kid with cancer is too many - and yes, they are in clinics and homes all over the globe suffering.  The stats are awful - a 40% increase in children with cancer in the last few decades.  That is alarming,is it not???They are receiving medicines for this but hello????  Is there anyone out there wondering and researching how these little bodies GET this awful disease??

And the answer is yes.   You will find a lot more research going on in the alternative medicine, holistic, natural arena for CAUSES than you will find in the conventional venue of researching a cure.  There is nothing wrong with looking for a cure of course, but if we know what causes it in the first place, the cure would be unnecessary.  How great would THAT be?  How much money could these people save no longer researching for cures?  Gosh, we could feed people with that money!

I digress.  There is a TON of information.  Information on causes, possible links to cancer and every other disease we are "fighting".  Information on toxins we eat, breathe and slather on our skin.  I am doing my best to inform thru this blog each week but it suddenly hit me after reading about the suffering of kids - that THIS may well be what we need as a true catalyst.  Get enough women pissed off that they are and have been for years - innocently and certainly unintentionally - poisoning themselves AND THEIR CHILDREN - maybe this is what it will take to get the Suffragette spirit going, wake people up, and put an end to the poisons?  We are powerful consumers too - we could make a huge difference with this power. 

I could do a whole blog on the toxins that they have found in women's breast tissues!  I'm sorry folks, but we can no longer be "surprised" if we find out that we, or someone we know and love comes up with diseases - especially cancer!  It is not the luck of the draw.  It is not "God" doing this.  It is not old age.  It is the cumulative effect of foods we eat, drugs we have taken, and toxins we have been exposed to via air, water, and vaccines. Once you accept this, we can move on, we can change our own selves and help each other change too - knowledge is half the battle.

It is sad that this is a toxic laden planet - but we can clean up this mess just like we have had to clean up the house after a huge party, or a basement flooding, or whatever.  Can't we resurrect the Rosie the Riveter image from WW2, roll up our sleeves and get seriously involved, active, determined - yes even angry enough - to make the changes necessary in our lives to eliminate the toxins and diseases????  Stand up for your right to know the truth - boycott manufacturers of pretend foods - learn more about toxins you have in your home, learn to eat right.  When I read about those toxins in the umbilical cord blood I seriously cried.   This is way more urgent than I thought to get people aware of the poisons around us.

HELP me!  You know I'm not a social network kind of expert here - do what you can to get this blog read and out there.  None of us can afford to sit on the sidelines - this affects everyone!

What you can do:

Eliminate toxic food - Unless it is fresh and unprocessed it is toxic.  Stop whining about giving up hot dogs, giving up this and giving up that.  You are only giving up POISONS, there now, see how you can shift it?  Plenty of info on line and in my blog archives.

Convert your home to Toxin-free - Most household cleaners/soaps etc - unless they are made by a "green" company, are toxic.  Don't just consider switching brands "someday".  Throw the bad stuff out and use some of yesterdays remedies - baking soda, vinegar etc. to clean. (www.thegreenguide.com)

Get politically active - Stay informed about what agencies are WITH you in this clean up effort.  One place full of info is Environmental Working Group (www.ewg.org)  The Center for Science in the Public Interest is another.

Get this information OUT THERE!  Together we can start a pendulum swing back to a naturally clean earth and good health for all!

Get thee to a link - Link away!  Start this circulating.  Oh - and guy readers, please don't feel I've left you out - we need EVERYone and you need to detox too!
I'm thanking everyone in advance for all the linkage - or whatever you call it!
Hugs and
thanks!
