QUESTION!!!!

It is my belief, and if you want to correct me, please do.
Do Governments care for the people, or are they more interested in money, power, and fiscal growth.
The answer is fairly obvious and it is not you Do major food manufacturers consider the quality of their food over profit?
Do the multi billion profit pharmaceutical industries really consider the wellbeing of the general public when they are selling drugs, when many of them have so many side effects that they are responsible for thousands of deaths every year? The answer again is no. I accept that many medicines are necessary and highly effective, but do they really put our wellbeing over profit? Did anyone ever die of chemotherapy poisoning? Of course not, they all died of cancer.
Do they ignore promising cancer treatments and try to ban natural herbs/ medicines because they are trying to protect us.
We can all make a difference if we become aware and start asking questions, there is so much we are not supposed to know, or ask about. We can change the world if we become passionate for life; together we can make that difference.

THE POWER OF SUPPORT David Haas

With all the technology, medications, and other scientific structures surrounding the medical world, it is easy to forget the power of support when dealing with cancer. Whether you or a loved one is survivor of any type of cancer including common cancers such as skin cancer or even a rare cancer like mesothelioma, words of encouragement and faith can go a long way in coping with treatments and recovery.

One option is to join a support group with others in a similar situation. There are support groups for specific types of cancer, survivors of cancer, and loved ones of those who are suffering. There will be times that you feel alone or defined by your condition, support groups connect you with people who feel the same way. Together you will all realize that you are individuals with unique characteristics, backgrounds, and tastes. These are the aspects that define you, not the cancer.

Many of these support groups are in person, but they can also be conducted online for those who do not have easy access to a physical location. People can discuss their struggles, triumphs, and hopes for the future without being judged or criticized. Dozens of online support groups exist, and they are free to join. Try a few out to find the one that accommodates your needs. Here are some great online support groups:

Another method of support that is used in conjunction with support groups is writing therapy. Keeping a journal of your thoughts and feelings allows you to release them in a productive and healthy manner. People tend to keep their emotions bottled up, especially during stressful times such as these. However, an unhealthy mind can facilitate the decline of an unhealthy body. The journal topics can be whatever you feel like writing in the moment, or may be suggested by people at your support group. You can share these writings with a loved one, or you can keep them private. A journal simply acts as an outlet that won't talk back, judge, or demand.

It does not matter what stage of cancer you are in. You may be in remission, in treatment, or a survivor. The power of support can heal the mind so that the body can focus on healing itself. Mesothelioma doctors can take care of the physical aspects, but you are responsible for getting yourself the support you need. Find a group that fits your needs, and carry a journal with you. You don't have to do this alone.
