“Fighting For the Title”
Wednesday, December 24th, 2008Last night I went to a wonderful performance called “Fighting for the Title” by Delores Burgess. Delores is the solo writer and performer of this one-woman musical journey. She brought me to tears numerous times with the beauty of her voice and the strength of her performance. She received numerous standing ovations as well she should have as, from my understanding, this whole journey began only six months ago. Her acting, singing and timing were magnificent.
What was the theme? Breast cancer. “Fighting for the Title” is based on Delores’ life, touring the “chitlin’ circuit”, leaving that to become a gospel singer and then finding out she has breast cancer and how she survives it.
After the performance there was a short question and answer session. I KNOW all who were there who knew me were hoping I’d keep my mouth shut, as I did.
According to Delores, she had stage 0 cancer. According to my research and interviews with people who have had up to stage 4 cancer ~ and lived w/out mutilation (surgery), chemotherapy (drugs) and radiation (burning), just a change in lifestyle can stop this from manifesting. Instead, from what I understand, Delores’ doctor pressured her into having immediate surgery.
Now, how does one stand up in a theatre and say, “So, since cancer is a lifestyle-based disease, what are you doing to prevent a recurrence?” There was talk about mammograms (yes, they’re often free because doctors make so much money on mutilation, drugs and burning, they well-cover the cost of the mammogram) and men going for check ups but not ONE word about what to do to prevent cancer in the first place. Not ONE!
People talk about having mammograms as prevention. They are NOT! They are, often, but not always (remember 50% of doctors’ diagnosis is wrong!) detection! They not only do not prevent cancer, they CAUSE cancer!
After the performance I was, well, can’t say shocked, yet kind of surprised that what was there to eat after was cookies, cupcakes, potato chips and a red, sugary drink ~ i.e. punch. In other words, sugar, fat, and artificial food coloring. All the things known to undermine the immune system.
During the program they also spoke about “soul food”. Now, the problem with many cultures is ~ the food. That’s why cancer often “runs in the family”. It’s actually not the cancer, it’s the lifestyle.
Here are a couple resources you might like to check out sometime to PREVENT cancer and, if you’ve already got it, there are some resources here in the way of interviews of people who have had cancer and have lived beyond the 5-year “survival” time. Oh, by the say, do you know how many people with would survive those 5 years without ANY “treatment” whatsoever? AND, if they took responsibility and stopped doing what was causing the problem in the first place? I can’t answer that but, in the resources listed here, you’ll get an idea there are probably a lot more than those who do.
Finally, a study was shown that chemo kills as many people as it “saves”. In reality, chemo doesn’t really save anyone. It’s a carcinogen. For those people who’ve survived it’s use, it’s because the chemo kicked the immune system into action and they lived in spite of the chemo.
Problem is, those who think the chemo was the answer, keep doing what they were doing to create the cancer in the first place and “hope” it doesn’t come back and when it does, they “hope” the chemo/radiation kills it again. Scary.
Interviews with long term cancer survivors:
One of the longest and best studies ever done on cancer:
The best 2-hour video I’ve ever seen on cancer w/ interviews of doctors who healed themselves of cancer w/out drugs, mutilation or burning AND it states that oncologists will not go for chemo/radiation or suggest it for their own families:
