I have been shocked by how many friends and associates have been diagnosed as having cancer, the surprising thing about this is that their ages range from 35 to 60 years.

Now I know that the statistics suggest a ratio of one in three people will develop cancer, but they are just statistics, right!
well, it appears that statistics actually relate to real time events and not just school education. Who knew!

I have have watched my friends go through turmoil in the hands of the medical establishment and at the peril of the consuming cancer.

What has hit me though, is that I have found myself on the fringes of 'normal', with a realisation that suggesting what I think is 'normal', is in fact not 'normal'.

It seems that it is more acceptable to suggest cutting bits of your body out, radiating it, and then throwing toxic chemicals at it and every healthy cell around it, than it is to suggest eating a clean, organic diet and take out the toxins that led to the cancer in the first place.

So, I find myself hovering in this conundrum, do I suggest eating a whole food, toxin free diet to optimise the nutrition in the body, thus, allowing the body to heal itself. Or, do I stand back and join the rest of the madding crowds and watch the cancer consume the patient, and the trillion dollar pharmaceutical industry take another bite of their very shiny Apple.

Apart from the obvious response of 'hippy', I guess laughter therapy can be very healing too.
