Is There A Connection Between Increased Cancer Rates and Pollution

Yesterday, and all of this week we are celebrating the success of landing human beings on the lunar surface. Landing Americans on the Moon opened many doors technologically. The journey into space, and visiting the Moon taught us a great deal about the origins of our planet and the interdependence of the Moon and Planet Earth. Are there other lessons about health, taking care of ourselves and our environment that going to the Moon has to teach us?

Every astronauts has remarked about the deep impact space flight made on their lives. Each person in the space program has commented how beautiful and fragile the Earth appears from space. Seeing the relationship of the Earth to the surrounding space gave them a renewed appreciation for how delicate the balance of nature. Many of them became involved in healing ills on the planet; some have become advocates of greater environmental protection, and several developed a deep spirituality.

If life on Earth is fragile, and we have learned so much about the web of interconnectedness between our bodies and all of the Earth, why isn’t pollution being more swiftly reduced? Pollution has been directly linked to dozens of lift threatening illnesses, especially cancer.

When we experience love, we work to protect, nurture and shield that which we love. Some in business and technology development are creating and proliferating life sapping technologies which are causing great harm to our bodies healing systems. Making a profit is more important than the long term survival of the Earth for these individuals.

When we love and heal the planet, we are actually loving and healing ourselves. Taking care of the planet honors the Creator, High Power, God or Pure Intelligence that created this planet. If we value this beautiful physical body of ours, and wondrous planet which has been given to us as a home, then we must reduce the toxic activities, and find better ways to live in harmony with life. are proof that we are out of balance.

Cancer is proof that there are imbalances in our environment, food supply, air, water and manufacturing processes. Greed has caused imbalances between the need to find technology which makes life easier, and protecting life in the process. Desire for dominance over nature, and the planet has superceded an enlightened view that acknowledges that we are part of the planet rather than separate from the Earth. Love connects us in our experience to the Earth, while greed fosters a separative view of our relationship to the Earth. Greed is behind many of the illnesses we face today.

Reducing pollution is critical for all of us concerned about the welfare of humanity, and other creatures. Reducing pollution will reduce risks to health, and bring cancer rates down. Pollution has caused a dramatic rise in cancer rates. Cancer is speaking to us. The body is talking but are we listening? Why are cancer rates climbing? Why has illness increased in industrialized countries?

Do we need decades of studies to tell us what we already know? Pollution is shortening life spans by increasing threats to our health.

Pollution not only leads to life threatening illnesses, but diminishes all systems in the body, even the development of the brain. We must hastily develop and USE alternative energy sources, and drive low fuel use cars, or hybrids.

Take a look at this recent article on the connection between pollution and IQ in children….read this article: Kids’ lower IQ scores linked to prenatal pollution on Yahoo! Health

If we love ourselves, and love our children, grandchildren, the animals of the Earth, the beauty of the ocean and all the creatures in it, we must swiftly move to a lower pollution, while driving more efficient cars and cleaning up our transportation system.

Love your Mother Earth because your body is part of the Earth. We are inseparable from this planets fragile systems. We are a cell in that great Earth body. Are we as human beings acting like cancerous cells or healthy cells in relation to the Earth.

Plant 30-60 trees for every per person in your home each year through American Forests. They are involved in world wide tree planting as their main mission. $1.00 plants on tree. Planting trees offsets greenhouse gases tremendously.

Together, we can do anything. If human beings can land on the moon, can we create environmental healing in our world, reduce cancer rates, and help children have a brighter future? Yes, we can.

If we see the Earth as a sacred space, how much differently will we act? When something is sacred, we will treat the Earth with greater respect, kindness and the greatest love possible. When we see our bodies as sacred we will do the same.

What can you do to get involved today in protecting your body from cancer and other life threatening illnesses, and the Earth today and everyday?

To Our Health and Healing,
