The HAND of DEATH and DISEASE

The Hand of Death and Disease

Afrikan Americans are dying at a higher rate than any other ethnic group, from preventable diseases, caused by THE CHOICES THAT WE WILLINGLY FOLLOW AND PUT IN OUR OWN MOUTHS, AND FEED TO OUR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES EVERY DAY!

I'm writing about our diets- the common western-roman-slave High Carbohydrate/ High Acidic diets, that the majority of people eat in the west. Although Stress, PTSD (Post Traumatic Slavery Disorders,) Pollution, Contamination, Poisons, and Drugs, in our air, water and food aren't enough, and the normal day-in-day-out Micro-Aggression stresses from racism, Racial Profiling, and disenfranchisement takes it's toll on our bodies with excessive cortisol production, we still have choices, like our habits of diet and exercise, that we can choose and control!

American Afrikans have the highest rates of the following diseases, among the population of the U.S. (maybe even the rest of the world where we have assimilated western European culture.)

I list the 5 fingers on THE HAND OF DISEASE AND DEATH:

1. Heart attacks

2. Strokes,

3. type 2 Diabetes,

4. High-blood pressure

5. All Cancers,

These disease death rates are higher than Homicide- including Hate crimes, Black on Black Murder, police brutality killing, and war! These diseases are like a ball and chain, to an already stressful existence. Without a healthy disease-free lifestyle, one is bound to, and often at the mercy of, an often dysfunctional, drug-pushing medical system. As we follow the highly commercialized junk food pushers, we are eating ourselves (and with our own hands serving to our children) a path to misery and an early grave.

Yes, All of these diseases are treated by medical doctors with surgery and long-term medications. I have concluded that the 5 diseases that I have listed, are caused simply by diet choices and lack of exercise and that can be prevented by simply making healthy diet and exercise choices.

Many of our people live by a 2 fisted grip on death and disease on our family.

African Americans suffer disproportionately from several major health problems associated with high morbidity and mortality. The 1985 DHHS Secretary's Task Force Report on Blacks and Other Minorities identified six major disease categories of excess deaths for African Americans compared with whites by applying the lower death rate for whites to the American population. The report provided a stimulus for public and private action to begin to address the health disparities between minority and non-minority populations. This article examines three of the leading causes of death for African Americans and assesses the extent to which the health disparity between African Americans and whites has been reduced. An extensive list of barriers to reducing the disparity are presented from the scientific literature and strategies for reducing the three health problems are recommended.

10 Leading Causes of Death for African Americans
(Causes of Death from 2010)

1. Heart Disease
2. Cancer
3. Stroke
4. Diabetes
5. Unintentional Injuries
6. Nephritis, Nephrotic Syndrome, and Nephrosis (Kidney Diseases)
Chronic Kidney Disease
7. Chronic Lower Respiratory Disease
8. Homicide- Youth Violence
9. Septicemia
10. Alzheimer's Disease

That's the reason I became vegetarian. I found that our Beef livestock used to eat grass, nurse their own young and roam the prairies as part of a natural habitat. Our Nubian Pastoral and Shepherd Kings- Ancestors from Afrika were the first to Corral and Herd animals through open prairies. -Now, these animals are artificially grown and live in containment factory structures - bred over and over again by the same siblings or cloned in a science center. Often this meat comes from devitalized clones, grown from stem cells. All of this "meat" (Pork, Beef, Chicken, and Fish) has been adulterated. These creatures eat pellets of the remains of their predecessors, that were scooped up from the slaughterhouse! They are injected with antibiotics and hormone growth accelerators. They stand all of their limited lives, on top of their own waste...They are bred through artificial insemination. They are never allowed to bond or see their offspring after they are produced or receive any kind of affection. (That is how many of our ancestors were treated too!)

I attribute a lot of our obesity and cholesterol problems to the consumption of animal fats particularly lard found in pork. While many have argued in defense of pork consumption, (I'm sure that the pork industry has taken a severe blow from the "Swine Flu" coo) it has been quipped "God made everything!" and the notoriously misinterpreted "Arise Peter slay and eat." Yet, when it comes to the justification of serving this gall to our Afrikan families, please, let me ask you this;

Would you eat; decay, fungus, flies, cockroaches, maggots, scavenger carcasses, like vultures, hawks, hyenas and reptiles, plastic, poisons, acid, dirt, feces, rotting carcasses, and molding rotten fruits and vegetables? (God made these too!) Do you know that a worm-infested pig will eat this stuff and not even get sickened by it!

The United States Food System has changed! We are no longer receiving the same foods and varieties that our families consumed 40 years ago! 

See: Codex Alimentarius.  

REMEMBER! THE SURVIVORS OF KATRINA--- who suffered from Diabetes, Cancer, and High blood pressure diseases ---WERE LEFT TO DIE FOR LACK OF FRESH MEDICATIONS! For instance, when the supply of fresh insulin was unavailable to administer to a diabetic, because of lack of electricity and refrigeration,- these people were given a blanket, and comforting words, then abandoned in the presence of medical staff, first aid, and emergency clinics, to transition, waste away, go into shock and die!

Here are some of the criminal, deadly contenders that we feed ourselves and our families every day:

• Processed sugar 
• (High fructose) -corn syrup (candy, sweets,) 
• ALL ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS!
• Processed Salt
• Adulterated Animals: Pork, Beef, Chicken and fish consumption as processed meat, (sausage, bologna, hot-dogs, canned) Artificial Crab, butter, lard, whey, oils, (also found in lotions, hair care products, makeup, and other cosmetics)
• Processed devitalized, white foods, that are starched based carbohydrates, genetically modified grains- Corn and Wheat Flour gluten products - white flour, white rice, white potatoes  
• Highly acidic and non-nutritive filler "fake foods" also known as junk foods and "snacks", All highly preserved and processed foods and snacks with benzine and other preservatives
• Milk (Puss!)- and processed dairy products - Butter, Cheese, Ice cream, whey, Yogurt, WE ARE NOT INFANT COWS!
• Impure and acidic drinking water filled with fluoride, Chlorine, mercury, and lead= (unfiltered tap water)
• Carbonated, sugary and highly preserved beverages that mimic 100% fruit juice (What is "Cool Aid" anyway?!)
• Alcoholic drinks
• Microwaved and irradiated foods
• Foods wrapped and contained in Aluminum, foam, and plastics (baby Bottles, Nipples, sippy cups, and plastic drinking bottles)
• "Fast foods" with high levels of sodium, white carbohydrate starches and Acrylamide-
• Toxic Chemicals on your skin and hair. Remember that your biggest organ, the skin, and scalp- breathes and eats whatever topical product from the cosmetic industry, you put on it- namely petroleum Jelly, arsenic, formaldehyde, and other toxic chemicals. 

Top Sources of Food Carcinogens

Any charred food - from burnt popcorn - to burnt toast, is highly carcinogenic.
Meat in general (in terms of the fats associated) is carcinogenic, especially overcooked meat.
Smoked/ roasted foods like soya, roasted corn, and grilled fish -heated with harmful materials such as tires, treated wood, polyethylene bags, rubber materials etc.
Acrylamide is found in browned foods like bread crust, toast and broiled meats.
Sugar is carcinogenic - whether white or brown. Instead of sugar, substitute honey or Stevia leaves
Stomach cancer is associated with high salt intake, with spicy foods and smoked food
Sodas and Energy drinks are carcinogenic for a variety of reasons beyond their high sugar content and harmful additives.
Artificial sweeteners, sucralose, and particularly aspartame, are carcinogenic
Excessive alcohol with so many preservatives is toxic
Trans fats found in fries and snack chips are carcinogenic
Microbial contaminants and toxins like aflatoxins found in Aspergillum infected nuts and seeds
Chemical food additives (Artificial flavorants, colorants, preservatives) eg. nitrosamines which is a preservative is a cancer precursor
Fluoride and Chloride and may other toxic chemicals and preservatives, found in most beverages and water is Carcinogenic. Question the water content of most beverages; they often use tap water to prepare at restaurants and commercial soft drinks.
Unfortunately, the very container that most processed foods and drinks are stored- is carcinogenic.

SO, WHAT'S LEFT? What other alternative choices do we have?

WE MUST GROW OUR OWN FOODS TO TAKE BACK CHARGE AND CONTROL OF OUR OWN WELL BEING!

 

• Fresh Fruits- raw as possible, naturally sweet
• Fresh Vegetables- as raw as possible
• Whole organic grains- from real grains! Buckwheat, Quinoa, Teff, Amaranth, Kamit, Spelt, Rye, Wild rice, (not genetically modified)
• Sprouted beans and seeds
• Seeds and Nuts
• Herbs
• The bounty and varieties of Certified or non-certified Organic, heirlooms, homegrown, Foods
• Clean alkaline water
• Fresh Clean Air- (even good smelling- natural things like uncut flowers are good for ya and good to ya)
• Lots of Exercise, Meditation and Rest
• Creative, Inventiveness, production and manufacture of our own goods, products and foods,

We are the ones who must emancipate ourselves and our progeny from mental slavery! For our own survival, we must cultivate and relearn healthy ways, traditions, and cultural values. It is vital that we acquire an appetite for and a "hunger and thirst after" a righteous lifestyle and not a death-style!

As Women (Womb of mankind,) we have a greater responsibility to support and promote our own health and wellness, as well as a healthy lifestyle and (not a death-style!) for our family and neighborhoods.

IF The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world, then WE MUST each TEACH A GIRL-TO HEAL A NATION!

"UP YOU MIGHTY RACE!" African American Matriarchal Traditions

African American Roles in Misogyny

Many have expressed objection to the male characters of "preacher," "Mr." and "Albert"etc.,  in  Novel "The Color Purple," as a "brutal misrepresentation" of the Afrikan male image and the relationships of the African family... Yet, you can't tell me that what was depicted in this novel did not go on for real in our communities  in the US,-then and now!

I would agree to the unacceptable PUBLIC parade of negative images, or shall I say the lack of positive depictions of our people in movies, media and TV Boobs like Jerry Springer, Judge Judy and Maury Povich etc.! Yet we still continue to to appear on the airwaves to air our dysfunctions! Also, the "hip-hop"videos still characterize our Afrikan Queens as superficial objects and exposed body parts in the media, with their lyrics composed of misogyny, curses,and depictions of base underground economy. The only thing people had to say about "Precious" was that she was too FAT! As if they were completely insensitive and oblivious to her plight of molestation, rape and rejection by her dysfunctional Mother!!! This is also a gross display of dysfunction- even with the heroes (heroines) being gay.

The point I am making is, this US race supremacy society has played a demonic role in maintaining a culture of enslaved and downtrodden people depleting their economic capacities, and rendering them from an early age through the school to prison pipeline and the prison industrial complex, Illegal Drugs,poisoned and nutrient depleted foods to foster care and low wage jobs, then to release them back into their families and neighborhoods. The traumatized, perverted, and depraved ACTIONS that are continuing to metastasize and take place on our Men, Women, Youth, and Elderly of our communities in a never ending cycle! We have been severely suffering with PTSD- Post Traumatic Slavery Disorder! We continue to pass down a legacy of sick behaviors onto our girls and boys, who grow up to act out these illness in so many ways! We keep our secrets, hidden and unchecked. We also normalize these demented behaviors, as if these dysfunctions are accepted and consensual! It is NOT normal for women or men to be beaten, and for girls and boys to be molested and raped! WE ARE DOING THIS TO EACH OTHER! Black on Black! By our loved ones and family, the very people whom we should trust! So the physical chains are off but our minds are still in shackles. We have racism- Yet now we lynch ourselves! Our men and women are also being released from prison, only to return to our communities to act out demented acts on their families, that they learned while they were incarcerated. Statistically, white males, above all other males of any race, have sustained the highest rate of incest, rape and abuse. So, it is not in our nature as a people to treat our women and children in this way.

I've been watching John Henrik Clarke's film "Christianity Before Christ." He made a profound statement about the order and civility found throughout the African diaspora. He stated that there was no word for "orphanage" in their language because their communities embraced all children. They did not have "old folks homes" because our elders' leadership was highly regarded and respected and they were treasured within their own communities. There was no word for "Prison," or "mental institution." Women could walk safely down the streets, Children had freedom to roam...They were in their own natural element, by their own design...

Our people who are community leaders, pastors, etc... are getting away with committing dysfunctional acts of incest, molestation and abuse FOR YEARS without any accountability or responsibility for their actions by family or community! From the pulpits of "black" churches, they espouse the platitudes and edicts of their slave-masters, who taught them their religion. The act of beating our children, is still thought of as an acceptable discipline and determent. We perpetuate the idea of beating the child so that the slave master won't have to. This continues the status quote of slave mentality. There is no counsel of elders to stop a man or woman from beating their spouse or child. We don't practice our rites of passage and initiation for our children, We live in a community of strangers toward each other.

To continue the status quo, the few Black businesses that exist in African American neighborhoods, provide inferior-overpriced goods services, often bought wholesale from alien producers and manufactures, and not from the community of African Americans or even African resources.. to their own people, and there is no community actions to regulate this. Then, we look outside our community for assistance -this only adds to the problem. -the city police, county and state offices don't have our best interest in their minds. In fact, all of the outward systems promote and perpetuate the poverty and school to prison pipeline. Other cultures have councils in place- Hispanic, Oriental, Muslim... We are still trapped in an alien assimilated mind and way of life. This "euro", middle class value system is an inappropriate model to follow.

One solution is to return to our own Matriarchal, communal, moral, cooperative familiar ways and Live autonomously and divest completely from our oppressor's system. The knowledge is out there now, in abundance.

Marcus Garvey was on the right path- (that is why they imprisoned and subsequently exiled him unto death!) We have taken on the alien nature of our oppressor! It is NOT OUR NATURE to be abusive, greedy, materialistic, and competitive!

We need to grow our own food , speak our own language and make our own toilet paper!
We will only survive if we return to our original roots to CO-EXIST with this planet! We don't own the earth-We have no right to take without asking(manifest destiny.) If we continue we will be expelled like any virus!
