Hi Team,
Re: "soft drinks".
Did I call it or what ?
Governor Arnie in Calif has just passed statutes removing softdrinks from schools, as have a number of other states from what I understand from a BBC item.
Looking back to my time in hospital, I recall seeing a warning chart about the very high acidity of coke posted on a ward wall as a health warning, and yet they had softdrink dispensers in the hospital cafetaria.......might have to write to the hospital about that one.
Coca Cola and others are on the back foot and moving fast to get into "health drinks".
The UK Coke CEO was interviewed and very "upbeat" about Coke's future...... a pity they can't throw the whole dam executive board in jail.
Had a browse over health drinks at the local supermarket, including a pureed kiwifruit drink..........still loaded with sugar........10 grams.
38 grams of sugar in a can of coke, 27 grams in a 1.5 litre bottle........the can is more deadly and concentrated.
Even the MILK here has sugar in it ( I was very surprised to see on checking), something I would never have guessed.
Keep your eyes open - tell your friends.
I see group postings are down.............don't be shy, this is a support group.........information on possible cures is not the only item of interest.
Thought for today...............there is a strong connection between mind, body and spirit...........don't abandon your dreams or future plans........if you have cancer you are sick and have to re-prioritise your health at the top of your list to start with, but also keep working on your future, just locate it a little down the priority list during your day.
Your body and subconcious, which is very powerful, will react to the thought that you are planning a future, and a whole new level of battle against the cancer will begin.
I read somewhere recently of a young man in his 20's who was not the owner of an over-active imagination ( as I have) who was told he had cancer and had maybe 6 months to live.
The full import didn't hit him as all the lights were on, but maybe in this case perhaps a little dim on current, so he shrugged and went back to work.
Three months later he went back for tests, and the cancer was 100% gone, much to the astonishment (yet again) of the doctor.
Lesson - sometimes it pays not to stress.
Easy to say, hard to do, believe meI know, but again this comes under being personally responsible for your own health state.
Sometimes when I start to stress I have to actively say to myself........just calm down, take it easy, be gentle with yourself........this is hard work and mental suffering to be sure, but it IS a discipline you can master.
Take some deep breaths until the anxiety passes...............you CAN survive this.
If I find myself mopping, and realise it, or thinking too much, Iam out the door for fresh air and a stiff walk, weather permitting.
Stress taxes your immune system,and when you are stressing, your immune system is dealing with that rather than battling the cancer...........in this respect you are shooting yourself in the foot.
Live your life, make the changes required and keep going.
Be aware of it, but relegate the cancer to the trash bin in your mind..............your mind is a POWERFUL weapon.........use it.
Last thing today.............I realised my lifestyle today is much different than it used to be...............but I also realised after much thought that I wasn't crediting those changes with any power whatsoever, against the cancer that I saw as "very strong".
Mind flip required..........now everything I do I credit as an attack against the cancer.
Food, exercise, sleep, water, pills, new treatments...........everything.
Health and happiness.
