Young Black Women Prone to Deadly Cancer – New York Times

June 7, 2006

Ok – come on sisters. Please do all you can to stay healthy. Here’s another health issue that a medical report says you should be concerned about.

This blog won’t become some type of healthcare resource, but I’m definitely becoming more sensitive to the importance of eating healthy and taking care of my body. Ok so I’m no senior citizen, but I am getting older. I want to take care of my body now so that it will take care of me later. I have a co-worker who’s like Super Health Woman. She’s vegan and grows food in her garden and doesn’t eat fast food and all that stuff. She’s definitely having an effect on me. Check out her blog at http://veganmomma.com/blog/ . But I warn you – she is no joke.

    There are so many issues at play. I will name a few:
    Diet
    Exercise
    Emotional health
    Environmental poisons

    I’m curious to see which states/counties had the highest cancer rate. I need to read that again perhaps I overlooked it.

    Have you heard the expression Cancer Alley? There are several black communities from Baton Rouge, Louisiana to the Mississippi border that have been nicknamed “Cancer Alley”. Why? It’s because of the abundance of toxic waste dumps and chemical plants. Across the US, low-income and minority communities find themselves the unwitting neighbors of toxic waste dumps, chemical plants, and incinerators. Did you know that the US has performed nearly all of its nuclear weapons testing on Native American lands? Our government has the deliberately targeted minority communities for their hazardous drop zones. Unbelievable! That’s environmental racism

    I’ve always wanted to see a study conducted on the chemical sodium hydroxide aka lye. This is commonly used in hair relaxers. Lye is used in soap making (I make soap) but it’s made harmless due to the soapanification process (mixing oil & water.) I make soap and wear a ventilator and gloves when making my soap and yet many of us put this on our hair. I have heard that some slave masters used to punish their slaves by dipping their heads in a bucket of lye but I could not find any information to back up this claim.

    Bottom line we all need to focus on overall healing not only what we put into our bodies but through the products we use in our house. We need to focus on our physical and spiritual/ emotional health. It’s hard to make changes and many need to make baby steps to reach these goals. That’s fine. We will get there! Stay strong it’s ok to lean on each other for support. Unity is a beautiful thing.
