More and more are turning to nature for a cancer cure.

Just an hour ago, a friend telephoned me to say that she will not be around this weekend and so would not be able to take some edible plants from me; plants which I had promised to pass to her this coming weekend.

You see, this gal had the first sign of cancer a year ago. She, as advised by her doctor, went through surgery and two courses of chemotherapy. A year later, which was about a fortnight ago, she discovered from her doctor that the cancer had returned. So, the chemotherapy, which was supposed to annihilate the cancer cells, did not work.

So, when the doctor again suggested another round of chemotherapy, she refused as she felt that it could not perform the task it was supposed to.

Going for alternative therapy, she found that there had been people who recovered through a raw vegetable and fruits diet; at least ninety percent of the food raw. Looks like more and more people are turning to nature when they see that chemotherapy and radiotherapy do not work well enough.

Having started on it, she told me on the phone this afternoon that she felt good and is having excellent health. As I believe in raw greens supplying the most amount of chlorophyll, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants to boost our immune system, I told her that I supported her move.

When it comes to raw greens, these should be organic as pesticides, insecticides and other toxic chemicals in plants are consumed into our body together with food which is not organic. Of course, to ensure that these vegetables are truly organic, if you have the time and space, it would be good to grow them yourselves.

When the greens are grown by ourselves, we benefit even more as we can pluck them at the last minute to have the freshest greens possible with no nutrients lost.

As I have told you in an earlier posting, I am interested in the prevention and cures for cancer. As such, I will be keeping in touch with this friend to see her progress.

Prevention is better than cure. There is a lot of truth in that saying. So, let us eat more healthy greens to help our body and its immune system to protect us from cancer.

There are some who deliberately look for sadness as a therapy.

Do you see people going to cinemas for film-shows? What kind of shows are popular where you are concerned?

For the active group, action films are popular. Then, there are those who go for detective stories. Next, we have ghost stories. Finally, there is a group who go for sob stories; sad stories which bring tears to our eyes.

People who like such sad stories are sentimentalists. They feel for other people's problems and for those approximately 75 minutes, they empathise with the characters in the film. They feel the very problems potrayed in the film and cry for the poor characters who are caught in such tragic events in the film.

Why do these people search for such sad movies to watch? I think those who do know the answer to this question? You see, I am one of those people who love to watch sad movies. They make me cry and after the flow of tears,this tough man does find the crying good. So, I have made an analysis of my action.

Do you know that such movies can be therapeutic? Well, this is how it works. Many of us have our own problems in love, life and work. In love, perhaps, we have lost a loved one either through death or a break-up in a relationship. Although time heals but the pain is still there deep within us. Like it or not, it stays although it seems to no longer bother us. It still hurts each time we remember the loved one. We never stop loving someone we truly love, do we?

Fortunately for us, there are story writers and film-makers who creates stories which are so true to life that we can relate to the incident or tragedy. We see the same sadness which we had suffered being enacted. We know we are not the only ones who carry the painful burden in our hearts. We know we are not alone; that others do suffer just like us. It makes our own suffering or pain more bearable. thus, each time we cry our soul out in the darkness of the cinema, we find relief in the knowledge that life is like this.

Then, as we understand that life changes all the time, from good to bad times and back again, from happy times to sad times and then back again, we understand that sadness is not constant. Not only that, we are able to appreciate even more the happiness we can find even more after having known sadness.

So, regardless of the source of the stories, sad ones have a place in our society. It allows us to let go of our suppressed emotions and give us relief. Without that release, the suppressed emotion could lead to some problems.

Such poor souls who find no such relief do exist in our society and we, as members of the same society, should do something about it to make this an even better world.
