searching for a healthy life

[Kathleen Escalera]

My search for real health really began after my mother died of brain cancer at the age of 78 in April of 1999. She had lived a normal and what was considered a healthy life, and once the cancer was discovered she died in 3 months time just as the doctor prescribed with no hope or prescription offered. 

About this time I was only learning to do a little research on the internet to find an answer to this dilema - to me it was obvious that we could not be actually living a healthy life if we become ill for no reason. So my search began for a healthy life style. My original search was for what we should be eating. What society is telling us to consume leads to sickness and early death. 

I wish I had known even have of what I have discovered since then and wonder if I could have turned her illness around so that she could have lived a longer life.
