Chronic Illness/Pain Organization Offers Hope
Rest Ministries, Inc.
http://www.restministries.org

Over 49% of women who were diagnosed with breast cancer reacted by becoming "more religious..." but where did they find comfort and hope that realistically addressed their pain? Rest Ministries, Inc. is the only national non-profit Christian organization that serves people who live with chronic illness or pain. Through resources and programs, such as an email support list, monthly newsletter, and HopeKeeper small groups, people find others who have encountered a detour in life's plans. Rest Ministries also assists churches in ministering to and with the 1 in 3 people in the US who live with a chronic condition.

Above statistic of women with breast cancer source: Roberts, J.A.; Brown, D.; Elkins, T and Larson, D.B. (1997). "Factors Influencing Views of Patients with Gynecological Cancer About End-of-Life Decisions." American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology 176 (1): 166-172. June 11, 1997

1 in 3 statistic: Many organizations have confirmed that over 100 million people in the US have a chronic condition. (2.63 billion population in the US, hence, the 1 in 3 figure).

Cancer Prevention
Submitted by Viola Gilbert

Subject: BREAST CANCER PREVENTION - not just for women
Importance: High

I just got information from a health seminar that I would like to share. The leading cause of breast cancer is the use of anti-perspirant. What? Yes, ANTI-PERSPIRANT. Most of the products out there are an anti-perspirant/deodorant combination so go home and check your labels. Deodorant is fine, anti-perspirant is not. Here's why: The human body has a few areas that it uses to purge toxins; behind the knees, behind the ears, groin area, and armpits. The toxins are purged in the form of perspiration. Anti-perspirant, as the name clearly indicates, prevents you from perspiring, thereby inhibiting the body from purging toxins from below the armpits. These toxins do not just magically disappear. Instead, the body deposits them in the lymph nodes below the arms since it cannot sweat them out. This causes a high concentration of toxins and leads to cell mutations: a.k.a. CANCER. Nearly all breast cancer tumors occur in the upper outside quadrant of the breast area. This is precisely where the lymph nodes are located.

Additionally, men are less likely (but not completely exempt) to develop breast cancer prompted by anti-perspirant usage because most of the anti-perspirant product is caught in their hair and is not directly applied to the skin. Women who apply anti-perspirant right after shaving increase the risk further because shaving causes almost imperceptible nicks in the skin which give the chemicals entrance into the body from the armpit area.

PLEASE pass this along to anyone you care about. Breast Cancer is becoming frighteningly common. This awareness may save lives. If you are skeptical about these findings, I urge you to do some research for yourself. You will arrive at the same conclusions, I assure you.
Thank you.
