Most of the stuff we eat or use on a daily basis contain, to a degree, harmful chemicals or substances, such as monosodium glutamate (MSG), high fructose corn syrup, diacetyl in popcorn, genetically modified crops that produce their own pesticide, artificial growth hormones and antibiotics in milk, etc. But hey, who wants to live to be 100, right? Besides, if this stuff doesn't kill you, the bird flu sure will. :) It would be nice if hydrogenated oils were the only thing to worry about when it comes to food.

What hits me the hardest is what you said about the chemicals in our food, i am a huge enemy of hydrogenated oils, i am so convinced that it is the poison that will kill society. The worst thing about it is, like you said, our bodies not being able to fight off all this pollution. And i dont trust the fda as far as i could throw it(even if i was buff =) I definitely think the medical system has become short sighted, and very “pain maintenance” oriented.

I'm sure you see this every day.

I certainly don't think it's all bad (I'm sure you don't either), but there is a distinct tendency toward a "try to fix it once it's too late" mentality. I make my money as a fitness coach, and have a vested interest in PREVENTATIVE care. That's basically what my job is: to teach people how to avoid ending up in the hospital for things that are generally preventable. And the whole "drugs solve all our problems" mentality is also a serious problem. I agree with a lot of what you say about medicine.

Funnily enough I replied to your comment by mentioning the moon - and what do I find when I look at your myspace site? The moon! Well, well! Great blog you've started - you find lots of interesting things on the net - I'm going to put you on my blogroll and I'll be back. I am a medical doctor, used to be GP (family physician) in Scotland and left that work over a decade ago to work fulltime at Glasgow Homeopathic Hospital - pretty much for the same reasons you give about where Western medicine is weak. I hope your studies go well and that you find your niche in nursing Bob Hi Diana,
