Lung cancer -- the top cancer killer

To those who follow cancer on a daily basis, it may be no surprise that lung cancer is the leading type of cancer that kills globally. With billions of cigarettes being smoked each year in probably every country in the world, t should not come as a surprise that lung cancer occurs in such large numbers.
1.3 million lives each year are snuffed out due to lung cancer, yet my guess is that over a billion people continue to smoke worldwide. That's just a guess, but when 300 million smoke in China alone, it's probably a good guess.
If that weren't enough, about 60 percent of those diagnosed with lung cancer
die within a year of officially being diagnosed, and almost 75 percent die within two years. Are you still smoking or know someone who is? Read that last sentence again and again.

1. Great article! There are other factors then cigarettes that add to this problem as well. Like chlorine in your shower, processed foods, stress, synthetic clothing and building materials all add up to factors for cancer to take hold and thrive. As someone that has delt with this more then once I'll share the two best things to work with imbalance, I've found healing tools from www.shambhalahealingtools.com to work better then anything on many levels.
The best food & supplement I've found, to combat an acidic environment for cancer is "Himalayan Goji Juice" you can get it from two sites I found www.buddaberry.com and www.gojibros.info
And of course get a good shower filter,drink pure water often,eat heartily with a good variety of foods, and get a good purifier from EcoQuest even if you live in the country! Bless On*
