Of course, mom and apu freaked out and bought every child safety lock under the sun to keep me from poisoning myself. Mom always wondered why we even HAD those deadly things in the house. Fast forward to today, where mom cleans with 20% vinegar (YAY Hungary) and baking soda, and uses coconut oil for EVERYTHING.
After Pompom's cancer scare, mom became slightly OBSESSED with cancer in general. Oh fear...you're so sneaky. She even applied to, and was rejected from medical school (as a rogue way of maybe changing a few minds...but more on that later).
She's read countless articles well in to the night, and came to a very basic conclusion...
The environment is the ONE thing we CAN control, so adios chemicals!
She also came across this AWESOME documentary on cancer and the medical system (specifically in the US).
A link to the documentary if you're interested is located here. The host guy is SUPER cheesy, but once you get passed his lack of acting skills, it's a really informative piece.
Mom isn't trying to convince anyone of anything, but thought it would be nice to share. She knows FULL WELL, that some people like to be sick, enjoy popping their pills, drinking alcohol, etc. This isn't about being better or right, more about having the power to make a choice. It's about nutrition, essential oils, basic medicine and what we're NOT being told by the medical industry.
The MAIN lesson mom has learned from all of this is simple. Listen to your instinct. It's there for a reason. If you're stomach is telling you something doesn't feel right (with knots, feeling sick, or general uneasiness), maybe you should listen...
