Monday's Victoria Day WOD (9am & 3pm only) and Hollywood Cancer Healthcare

"The very idea that breast cancer is a "percent risk" is a complete lie. In reality, everyone has cancer micro-tumors in their bodies, including myself. Cancer is not a disease you just "get" like being randomly struck by lightning. It's something you must "manage" or "prevent" day by day, meal by meal, through a lifestyle choice that involves vitamin D supplementation, nutrition, superfoods, vegetable juices and avoidance of cancer-causing chemicals and radiation."

Exert from How Angelina Jolie was duped by cancer doctors into self mutilation for breast cancer she never had. 

Read the above article to learn more on how private for profit Healthcare is using mass hysteria and Hollywood Stars to promote expensive genetic testing and "slash-poison-burn" procedures to healthy tissue to "lower the risk" of cancer.

Another good read on cancer prevention is Anticancer: A New Way of Life, which we read over a year ago after my sister-in-law was diagnosed and passed away from ALL (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia), or check out the Canadian Cancer Society's website for Prevention and Screening tips.
