The Many Causes of Modern Diseases

Everything we breath, every bite of food and anything we put on our skin has positive or negative potential.  These often work together to cause our modern diseases.  Eating nutrient poor, food with antibiotics, or preservatives can destroy natural protein processing digestive bacteria.  Our body's system is remarkable but eventually one factor can tip us into a health disaster.  We tend to blame the resulting sickness on one cause when actually there are many reasons that contribute, but just one may trigger the tipping point into disease, or death.

Is the Use of Antiperspirant a Cancer Risk?

Everything we breath, everything we are exposed to and everything we eat has potential to benefit or harm our well being.  A wonderful new science, Epigenetics, may help us sort out it out soon.  We are starting to see there is compelling evidence that substances we are exposed to, and the substances (much of what we eat today is not food) we eat influence cancer, allergies and our children's , grandchildren's, and even our great-grandchildren's lives .  We do know that antibiotics destroy essential protein processing bacteria that leads to allergies.  There are many factors and it is quite complicated, but, antiperspirants are likely disease contributing substances.   As mentioned, it is extremely complex but it is also incredibly simple if people learn how to stick to living as they were before man's "improvements".

Those "Healthy Grains"

Earl“Rusty” Butz, secretary of the USDA under Nixon decreed that we would be a - highly profitable for big Ag - grain eating nation. We have been told to eat grains ever since.
If grains are consumed for more than several weeks the grains begin to have a detrimental effect on digestive systems - this is a plant protection mechanism that insures the plant species will not be eaten out of existence. It is also part of the reason we lose our "taste" for foods after continuously eating them. 
No animal has evolved that eats grains all year long but there is good reason that animals ate the high carb fall foods - they needed to fatten up to survive the winters. 
Grains can be tolerated, but greens should dominate diets in the spring and summer months.
