Darke County Cancer Association
Cancer Support Group
to meet January 5, 2012
The next meeting of the “Living with Cancer” Support Group will be held
on Thursday, January 5 from 7:00 to 8:30 pm. The meeting will take
place in the third floor conference room at Wayne Health Care.
Christy Baker and Stephanie Lind will be sharing information about
Melaleuca, a private, faith-based company that specializes in
safe, all-natural, non-toxic products for your home.
Christy states that the average home today contains 62 toxic
chemicals. She also says that an EPA study stated that the toxic
chemicals in household cleaners are 3 times more likely to cause cancer
than outdoor air and cancer rates have almost doubled since 1960 and
there has been a 26% increase in breast cancer since 1982. She
also states that bleach is being linked to the rising rates of breast
cancer in women and since 1980 asthma has increased by 600%. All
of these can be linked back to the chemicals that we subject ourselves
to everyday. Christy wants to share her personal experience with
these not toxic products and how they may benefit those patients
battling cancer.
The local Cancer Association of Darke County sponsors the Living with
Cancer group in cooperation with Wayne Hospital. The Support
Group is open to anyone with a cancer diagnosis, also family and
friends of an individual with cancer are encouraged to attend.
Facilitating the support group meeting this week will be Christine
Yount and Jill Brown from Wayne Health Care from Wayne Hospital.
