“I was going to make a purchase of the Acai products that you have available until I seen one of the owners wearing an atheist shirt. I know it really does not matter to you but I do not support atheists. I will spread the word through the Christian Community as well.”

Response:

Mr. Abraham,

If I wear a shirt that says Ford does that mean I hate Chevrolet? It may, but 99% of the time it doesn’t. It’s more likely that the person wearing the shirt likes or has a fondness for Ford’s.

Assuming, that you know the answer to a question before you have all the facts, by definition, is ignorant/ignorance. I do not mean this in a derogatory fashion, as we are all ignorant to things we don’t know or are unaware of.

Ignorant:
1. Lacking knowledge or information as to a particular subject or fact: ignorant of quantum physics.
2. Uninformed; unaware.

Without getting into a dissertation on being non-judgmental, non-evaluative and non-invalidative; all good Christian values, I will just cut to the chase.

The T-shirt I am wearing in the referenced picture is from a store in Soho, New York called, “Evolution”. I bought it while on a business trip in 2006 (links to the store below). As a doctor of chiropractic (a doctor who specializes in the skeletal system) I have a fascination with skeletons and have a few shirts with skeletons on them. There is no hidden meaning in it, it’s just a shirt. (shirt in question)

At this point, I would like to respectfully request that you reevaluate this situation with the new and accurate data that has now been brought to light. You may even want to print this and consult with your pastor or another trusted Christian advisor, for their take on this matter. Labeling people is not productive (see passage below). Look at what happened in World War II when the Nazi’s labeled the Jews and the hundreds of years that the Catholics and Protestants killed each other, just because of a label.

Sincerely,

P.S. And by the way, I am a religious person, far from being an atheist. My favorite passage and one that I live by, “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.” [Proverbs 23:7]

Cancer treatment can sap your appetite, but that’s when getting adequate nutrition is more important than ever. Here’s how to meet your needs.

Here are two selected paragraphs from the article.

“If you want to supplement the nutrition you get from your regular diet, we recommend taking just one multivitamin per day from a reputable manufacturer,” says Gary Deng, MD, assistant attending and assistant member in the Integrative Medicine Service at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York.

If you have trouble eating enough at mealtimes, many experts recommend adding a nutritional supplement nutrition drink to the menu. Check the label to make sure your supplement shake contains a variety of vitamins and minerals.

Liquid Power, a whole food source liquid multiple vitamin and mineral supplement fits the bill here perfectly. Not only does Liquid Power contain every vitamin and mineral, it also contains a plethora of highly potent nutraceuticals.*

*Nutraceutical is a blend of the words “nutrition” and “pharmaceutical” and refers to foods claimed to have a medicinal effect on human health. Such foods are also called functional foods. It can also refer to individual chemicals present in common foods. Many such nutraceuticals are phytonutrients.

Examples of claims made for nutraceuticals are red wine (resveratrol) as an antioxidant and an anticholesteremic, broccoli (sulforaphane) as a cancer preventative, and soy and clover (isoflavonoids) to improve arterial health in women. Such claims are being researched and many citations are available via PubMed to ascertain their veracity.

“Chemotherapy and radiation treatments are extremely toxic to the body and can weaken or even damage the body long term. (this is in no way a recommendation to avoid these treatments) That is why it is extremely important during chemotherapy and radiation treatments to support the bodies need for high quality vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes, fatty acids and nutraceuticals. Supplementing the diet with a high quality nutritional supplements may have profound beneficial effects on the body when it’s needed most.”
