I heard the words "It's malignant." I could not understand how this was possible. I was a health conscious, whole food eating, organic buying, semi-tree hugging mother. I didn't have any of the increased risk factors and yet somehow I had breast cancer. I stopped everything and focused in on my health. I went through 2 surgeries and 4 rounds of chemotherapy. I stayed in bed most of the summer. Getting up and out of bed only to go to chemo or a doctor's appointment. I had my last round of chemo on September 2, 2010. After a few months of recovering, I begin to think about what might have been part of creating my health crisis. I had watched a couple of documentaries on cancer while I was going through chemo that were about German New Medicine. I had learned many things from the documentaries, but one thing that really jumped out at me was the idea that cancer might come from toxic overload from chemicals. It made me start thinking a lot about the chemicals in food, around my house, and in my world. Then I went to a lecture at the Montage Hotel in Beverly Hills that my doctor, Dr. Soram Khalsa of Khalsa Medical in Beverly Hills was speaking at with Ken Cook from Environmental Working Group. What I heard blew my mind. It was all about chemicals and how they might effect our bodies. From the lotion that we rub into our skin, the make-up we wear, the containers we keep our food in, the bottles we drink our water out of and on and on. I guess maybe this evening should have overwhelmed me and made me depressed, but it did the exact opposite. It lit a fire in me to learn more and change my personal environment and the environment of friends and any other person whom was interested. That is now what I am doing. Lowering the toxic load in any environment, one home at a time.
