Dear Editor ,
In his speech to mark Cancer Awareness Month in October 2005, Minister of Health, Dr. Leslie Ramsammy indicated that the government was then “unable to provide local radiotherapy services for cancer sufferers”. He stated that the Ministry of Health had signed an agreement with Global Imaging Services of Chicago to “provide a comprehensive radiotherapy programme”.
Cancer prevention rather than cure would require a significant life style change to the Guyanese populace such as reduced alcohol, cigarette and salt consumption and a healthier diet. A cancer awareness programme, particularly in the rural areas of Guyana would be more cost effective on the national budget compared to a radiotherapy programme. One difficulty with living in the rural areas of Guyana is the lack of primary care facilities to diagnose cancer. Local medical practitioners seem oblivious to the symptoms and local laboratory facilities do not seem to have proper screening indicators.
In order to raise awareness of cancer in the Corentyne, there will be a Cancer Awareness for Rural Education (CARE) seminar at the Drepaul Memorial Academy. The CARE seminar will try to educate locals how to recognise the early signs of the various forms of cancers. A children’s cricket festival is also being sponsored by Anne Drepaul (nee Kennard) of Bush Lot Farm, Corentyne, who has recently been diagnosed with cancer. The public is asked to support the CARE programme and a Cancer Awareness Cricket Match by donating flowers and plants to create a special garden (Anne’s Garden) in recognition that the ultimate cure for cancer may be found in nature, maybe even the rainforests of Guyana.
Yours faithfully,
Robert S. Drepaul
CANCER, the scourge of our times, the fact is that cancer and diabetes were virtually unknown until we began useing processed foods and artifical everything.
Our bodies are electrical in nature and a small group of health practioners say that cancer is caused when our cells become acid. In that state it looses it’s ability to attract oxygen molecules and hence cancer.
Everything in this universe is made up of one basic particle the atom. Scientists say that if we blow up the atom to the size of three football stadiums the nucleus will be the size of a grain of sand. Atoms swirl around this central energy field at the speed of light. Atoms are not matter at all it is light energy, swirling around in 99.9999% empty space. What we see as matter is therefore an illusion that is baffling scientists to this day. That is why the mystics say that we are nothing, we are an illusion of our conscious state of mind.
The mystics also say, I am this, this is that, and that is all there is.
Fighting cancer is not about healthy diet and healthy lifestyle alone. Meditation is also imperative. Sit still, quiet the mind, between the thinker and the thought lies the silent witness, it is pure awareness, it is the Buddah of all potentialities.It is our connection to the rest of the universe. It is waiting in all of us to be discovered. Find it and every cell of your body will be energised with power from the universe, you will defeat cancer.
Namaste my friends
Joe.
Everything in this universe, that refuses to die, becomes cancerous, due to the lack of oxygen in our cells. As a result of our various lifestyles and environment, our cells loose their genetic instruction to die, they continue to replicate with no required bodily fuction.
Nature does not tolerate life forever and therefore terminates the host. Nature allows life to replicate but not to live forever,
Birth, life and death is the order of the universe, it is the plan of god, it takes place in every part of the universe. We are made of stardust, we are children of the universe, no less that the trees and the stars, we have a right to be here, but not forever.
Do not be afraid of death, it is the birth of a new life in the eseterial plane of the universe. It is like moving from rags to riches, but be aware that the life we experience in the afterlife is dependent on the good we do on this physical plane of existance.
Peace my friends
Joe.
