All posts by George Walters

George Walters is a Canadian columnist and author with more than forty years of writing experience. For over twenty years he has written a weekly column for Postmedia Network — Canada's largest newspaper chain — never missing a single week, publishing fifty-two stories a year. Combined with his work in Reader's Digest Community Voices, World News, Country Living, The Country Register, and farm and rural lifestyle magazines across Canada, he has published well over two thousand stories drawn from everyday life. He writes about farm work, fishing, old trucks, and the kind of people you only find in small towns — but just as likely he'll hand a voice to a weathered telephone pole, or turn his eye on something happening in the world today and tell you exactly what he thinks about it. No subject is off limits. If there's a story in it, George will find it. He has been called a philosopher of everyday life, a description that came up more than once during his television appearances over the years — and it's not hard to see why. His writing has a way of making the ordinary feel worth sitting with. He is the author of eleven books, including yearly short story collections and the Clay Moretti Files mystery series. Clay is a fifty-year-old private investigator who drives a 1967 Ford Galaxie, smokes cigars, and operates by a code the modern world gave up on a long time ago. The cases are present day. The man handling them is not. All titles are available in paperback and eBook on Amazon. Together, George and his wife Ruth have also created Elmer Finds His Way, the first in what he hopes will be a long series of children's books. Ruth did all the illustrations, as she has for every one of George's books — and beyond that she designed and painted the covers as well. Her work is woven into every page of everything he has published. A few words from readers: "I pulled up a kitchen chair and read your story three times." "You have a way of making a person homesick for a place they haven't been to." "Thank you for writing things that make old people and kids feel the same way at the same time." All my titles are available in paperback and eBook on Amazon.ca here.

Humor for A Sunday Afternoon

A bit more humor;

 

A senior woman went to the doctor’s office where she was seen by one of the older doctors.  After about four minutes in the examination room, she burst out screaming as she ran down the hall.  A younger doctor stopped her and asked what the problem was, and she told him her story.  After listening, he had her sit down and relax in another room.  The young doctor then marched down the hallway back to where the old doctor was writing on his clipboard.
“What did you do?!” the younger doctor demanded.  “Mrs. Terry is 71 years old, has four grown children and seven grandchildren, and you told her she was pregnant?”
The older doctor continued writing and without looking up said, “Does she still have the hiccups?”

Humor For a Sunday Afternoon

My lovely sister Barb sent me this bit of humor so thought I would share.  I really got a kick out of it.

 

Frank feared his wife Gloria wasn’t hearing as well as she used to and he thought she might need a hearing aid. Not quite sure how to approach her, he called the family doctor to discuss the problem. The doctor told him there is a simple informal test the husband could perform to give him a better idea about her hearing loss.
“Here’s what you do,” said the doctor. “Stand about 40 feet away from her and in a normal conversational speaking tone see if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so on until you get a response.”
That evening, Gloria was in the kitchen cooking dinner and Frank was in the den. He said to himself, “I’m about 40 feet away, let’s see what happens.” Then in a normal tone he asked, “Honey, what’s for dinner?”
No response.
So Frank moves closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from his wife and repeats, “Gloria, what’s for dinner?”
Still no response.
Next he moves into the dining room where he is about 20 feet from his wife and asks, “’Honey, what’s for dinner?
Again he gets no response.
So, he walks up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet away. “Honey, what’s for dinner?”
Again there is no response.
So he walks right up behind her and says, “Gloria, what’s for dinner?”
“For heaven’s sake, Frank! For the FIFTH time, CHICKEN!”

Facts In Life

Think on this for a second.

Impossibilities in the world
1- you can’t count your hair.
2- you can’t wash your eyes with soap.
3- you can’t breathe when your tongue is out
4- please put your tongue back inside.

5- you look ridiculous.

Bit of humor for a Sunday evening, after all it’s as important to good health as most other things.

Good Article Relating To Ones Health

This Article written by a lady, explains a lot when it comes to treating cancer and a lot of other diseases for that matter.  Worth the read.

 

Chemotherapy and/or radiation – – or surgery?

 

Please bear with me through this important illustration. Is a headache caused by a deficiency of aspirin? The answer, of course, is NO! Then why do we take aspirin for a headache? What does aspirin do? Headache is NOT a disease. It is a symptom. It just means that you have a pain or ache in your head. Aspirin covers up or decreases the symptom (which is the headache) without addressing the real CAUSE of the headache itself.

Headaches are caused by a number of conditions including tension, stress, lack of drinking enough water, eating the wrong foods, caffeine-withdrawal, to name a few. Addressing THESE CAUSES is the answer to eliminating headache.

By the same reasoning, is Cancer CAUSED by a deficiency of chemotherapy or a deficiency of radiation? Of course not!

Do chemotherapy and radiation both actually CAUSE CANCER? Absolutely, yes they both do, as is well-documented in  medical literature.

Then if chemotherapy and radiation ACTUALLY CAUSE CANCER why are they used to TREAT cancer? Because doctors are not taught the real causes of cancer. In fact, they are taught that no one knows the cause of cancer.

But the cause of cancer IS KNOWN! You can even read about it in the newspapers. The Harvard School of Public Health admits that at least 65% of ALL cancers could be prevented by a change in diet and lifestyle. Actually, the figure is closer to 99% in my opinion, but still that’s a great admission on their part. So there we have the cause: the wrong diet and lifestyle.

So what do we do to get well? It’s NOT difficult to figure out. We GET WELL by CHANGING our diet and lifestyle!!

We all develop cancerous cells in our body every day. If our immune system is working properly, the immune cells will destroy the cancer cells. However, if the immune system is NOT working properly, the cancer cells will build up and we will have a tumor, either of microscopic size or one that is palpable (it can be felt) or one that shows up on some diagnostic test.

So if cancer is a result of the immune system NOT working properly, how do we rebuild the immune system so it WILL work properly? We rebuilt it naturally.

Chemotherapy and radiation DESTROY the immune system, the ONLY system in our body that gets us well and keeps us well from EVERY disease! Chemotherapy and radiation also destroy cells indiscriminately. Chemotherapy is poison and kills cells by poisoning them. It is a chemical and, of course, is unable to tell a cancer cell from a non-cancer cell. That’s why a person’s hair falls out and they get so sick and vomit, because the chemotherapy kills cells indiscriminately. The explanation the doctor gives to justify using chemotherapy is that the chemotherapy tends to kill the cells that are the fastest growing or the fast-dividing cells, thus it will kill MORE cancer cells than normal cells. And this is true. But it kills so MANY normal cells, particularly the immune cells, that the patient often dies from the TREATMENT rather than from the cancer!

Radiation burns out the cancer. It burns everything in its pathway. It also, like chemotherapy, kills cells absolutely indiscriminately and it destroys the immune system.

When the immune system is so severely damaged by chemotherapy or radiation, it can no longer restrain the spread of cancer. It is common after these methods of treatment to find that soon the cancer has returned and spread everywhere!

So how about cutting out the cancer! Does that get rid of it? Here’s another illustration. If you have the chicken pox, would you go to a surgeon and ask him or her to surgically remove all of the chicken pox marks in your skin so you would then be well from the chicken pox? Of course not. You would still have the chicken pox even if you no longer could see the outward manifestations of the disease, because chicken pox is a systemic disease, not a local disease. It affects your whole body.

The same thing is true of cancer. Cancer is NOT a local disease. It is a systemic disease. I developed breast cancer, but it was NOT caused by having too many breasts! Cutting the breast off doesn’t solve the problem, because ALL the factors that allowed the cancer to develop initially are still in your body.

Even if you have the cancer cut out or an organ removed, you still have left in your body ALL of the factors that allowed cancer to develop in the first place. Unless you CHANGE all of those factors, the cancer WILL return either in the same organ or in another organ or you will develop another type of disease. And if you CUT OUT the mass or tumor, what are you going to use to follow your progress in rebuilding your immune system? I’m not suggesting that you shouldn’t have it removed, that decision is up to you. I’m just proposing that you evaluate ALL the options before your proceed.

How about removing the lymph nodes? The lymph nodes are part of your immune system. If they have cancer in them, that means they are doing their job! They are the little guards at the gate whose job it is to keep the cancer from spreading. When the lymph nodes are removed, then the barriers to the spread of cancer are decreased and the cancer can spread more rapidly.

Q. Is the tendency to cancer inherited? Does cancer run in families?

Here’s another illustration. If you see a very obese woman walking down the street with her two young children, one on each side, and the two young children are also very obese, is the children’s obesity inherited? No it isn’t. The mother feeds herself and she feeds the children the same way. If those children AND their mother change their diet appropriately and begin exercising regularly, there is a 99.9% chance they will become thin and fit.

Parents TEACH their children how to eat and how to handle stress, either directly or by example. They teach them good ways to eat and handle stress or they teach them bad ways to eat and bad ways to handle stress. This is the way that disease, including cancer, is handed down from generation to generation – not in the genes (except in very rare cases) but in the ways we are taught to eat and to handle (or NOT handle) life’s stresses.

In The News Canada Ranks 10th in Health Care

I see in the news today that Canada ranks ten out of 17 in health care.  I am thinking it is much lower than that.  But even still that sure isn’t being on top of the list.  Their remedy to the problem is this.

In order for Canada to improve its health ranking — and by extension its health-care system — the report recommends the country adopt a health-care model that focuses on primary care practices such as preventing and managing chronic diseases.

Not sure about you, but if you look back through my many many posts, you will see that I have been saying this for years. Cancer and other diseases should be treated with nutrition and prevention, not with the conventional meds and treatments of today, that make the rich richer and the sick sicker.  I also believe that natural fixes should be more explored and brought to being.  Reason being is simple my friends, we are all connected, humans, animals, and nature.  All these along with our true Mother which is earth.  The energy around us that no one seems to feel, is what we are, nothing more.  Source is energy, energy is us. That is where it all started for us and that is where we will all end up. Thing is, the answers are right there in front of us, just most refuse to feel or see them.  Source is there waiting, why not tap into it.
