Preventing Lymphoma and Other Cancers

Most of us do not pay attention to being bombarded daily by an accumulation of subtle toxins that steadily contaminate us.

It’s becoming more and more evident that lymphoma and other cancers are caused by such toxins that weaken the matrix of our cells. This is true of lymphoma when the critically important lymph system that fights bacteria and viruses succumbs to disease.

In addition to the obvious dangers of smoking as well as air and water pollution, there are myriad toxins presented in the market place. This includes antibiotics and growth hormones in meats, pesticides and herbicides in fruits and vegetables, in addition to water bottled in plastic.

The role of the liver is to cleanse toxins out of the body, however, if the liver becomes over-taxed, it simply can’t do its job. The result is that the overflow of poisons that would ordinarily be destroyed get distributed throughout the body, eventually attacking the lymph system and other vital organs.

Alcohol itself can cause cancer in literally every organ of the body. We seldom consider the fact that if you consume too much alcohol, you vomit, or have a hangover, which are indisputable messages that you’ve been poisoned. However, people continue to drink because it is relaxing, it lowers inhibitions and is societies favorite, fashionable escape.

Sugar is our country’s largest addiction. It leaves the body depleted of minerals vital for digestion, which weakens the body’s overall immune system.

Reading labels is important but also knowing what the impact of certain substances is.

The sugar is bad enough, but those tempting, colorful frosted cakes and candies we consume are colored with dyes recognized as brain toxins that the AMA and the FDA still allow.

These are the same poisonous dyes used to color pills and drugs legally administered by doctors. Pills? Yes, poisonous dyes in our pills.

MSG is a recognized toxic preservative, yet it is used in most canned, frozen and packaged foods. For years, the late Sen. Teddy Kennedy tried to have harmful additives and colored dyes removed from the marketplace, due to corporate payoffs facilitated through lobbyists, legislation was never allowed to pass.

Our skin is our largest organ, and yet both men and woman use highly toxic hair dyes and hair straightening solutions that are absorbed directly into the skin. They, too, are cancer causing.

Propylene glycol is used to clean grease and gunk from large engines. It’s also used to preserve soaps, toothpaste, creams and body lotions. Doctors regularly prescribe drinking propylene glycol to clean the colon before a colonoscopy. Our bodies are not car engines, they are highly sensitive organisms.

Consider nail polish and the chemicals used to make those sexy artificial nails applied directly into your nail bed. Those women doing your nails wear masks because they know the chemicals cause cancer.

Dangerous aspartame is used in diet drinks, cookies, cakes, candies and diet foods was banned by the U.S. bottling companies in the 1930s and ’40s when it was found to cause tumors in mice.

Dr. H.L. Roberts discovered that aspartame causes Alzheimer’s, digestion and bone diseases and yet, it’s used to sweeten everything – including baby foods.

People commonly say, “A little bit of this isn’t going to kill me,” but when you consider the daily, cumulative bombardment, the body finally succumbs to lymphoma or other cancers. Once stricken, properly feeding the body is crucial to recovery.

Lexie Ross is a civil rights and peace activist who began her career as a journalist in Georgia in 1981. Ross’ passion for finding natural, pain-free cures for cancer led her to pioneer the first articles in Atlanta about the dangers of aspartame, fluoride, pesticides, vaccines, electronic pollution and other toxic additives used in our foods and cosmetics. She also produced her own Health Frontiers Radio Show. She teaches the necessity of eating organically grown greens and vegetables cultivated in enzyme-rich, organic soil, along with the benefits of taking vitamins and herbs. She has written a handbook, “The Hidden Truths About Preventing Cancer.”

New national polling shows persistent voter concern about the affordability and availability of child care for working parents, alongside broad support across key demographic groups for federal child care policies that help families afford care.

The national survey was conducted by UpOne Insight on behalf of the First Five Years Fund from January 13–18, 2026.

Key findings include:

• Parents need help: 80% of voters say the ability of working parents to find and afford child care is either in a state of crisis or a major problem.

• This is an affordability issue: 82% believe federal child care funding will help lower costs for working families — including 69% of Republicans, 84% of Independents, and 94% of Democrats.

• And there continues to be strong support (62%) for the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG), a federal program that makes it possible for hundreds of thousands of families to afford safe, quality care for their children while parents work or go to school, including a majority of Republicans, 63% of Independents and 72% of Democrats.

• Support for funding child care programs remains strong: 75% believe child care funding should be increased or kept at current levels — including 75% of Republicans, 85% of Independents, and 97% of Democrats.

• 74% say funding for child care is an important and good use of tax dollars, including a majority of Republicans, three-quarters of Independents, and nine in ten Democrats.

FFYF Executive Director Sarah Rittling said, “Voters across the country are sending a clear message: federal child care and early learning programs work. These investments help parents stay in the workforce, strengthen families, and support healthy child development. They have also long had strong bipartisan support in Congress. At a time when affordability is top of mind for families, continued federal funding is essential to ensure child care remains accessible and within reach.”

First Five Years Fund works to protect, prioritize, and build bipartisan support for quality child care and early learning programs at the federal level. Reliable, affordable, and high-quality early learning and child care can be transformative, not only enhancing a child’s prospects for a brighter future but also bolstering working parents and fostering economic stability nationwide.

We work with Congress and the Administration to identify federal solutions that work for families with young children, as well as states and communities. We work with policymakers to identify ways to increase access to affordable, high-quality child care and early learning programs for children. And we collaborate with advocacy groups to help align best practices with the best possible policies. http://www.ffyf.org

Trump’s MAGA Allies are Creating Executive Order Plan to Steal the 2026 Midterms

NNPA NEWSWIRE — The document that could lead to an executive order proposes using the claim that China interfered with the 2020 elections as grounds to “declare a national emergency.” The move would be an unprecedented step that would grant Trump new authority over the voting systems in the U.S.

A group of MAGA pro-Trump activists, who say they are working in coordination with the White House, are circulating a 17-page draft executive order that would claim without evidence that China interfered with the 2020 presidential election. Donald Trump lost the 2020 presidential to President Joe Biden by over 7 million votes. Since Trump lost to Biden in 2020, he has repeatedly claimed that the election was “stolen” without evidence. The report of a group of “Trump allies” preparing an executive order to give Trump power over elections was first reported by The Washington Post.

The lies around the right-wing campaign that pushed falsehoods that the 2020 election was stolen was trafficked through right-wing media, particularly Fox News. Fox News was then sued for defamation for the claims by Dominion Voting Systems. Fox lost the case and had to settle for the largest defamation amount on record of $787.5 million in April 2023.

The document that could lead to an executive order proposes using the claim that China interfered with the 2020 elections as grounds to “declare a national emergency.” The move would be an unprecedented step that would grant Trump new authority over the voting systems in the U.S.

The story in The Washington Post arrives as Trump increasingly signals that he may take actions that would alter the result of the 2026 midterms. The Republicans are widely expected to lose as their approval ratings plummet as a result of a failing economy under Trump. Over 50 members of Congress have announced they will retire this year and not return in 2027.

The Trump Department of Justice, which now has a large image of Trump on the side of it, “sued five new states Thursday [Feb. 26, 2026] demanding access to their unredacted voter rolls — escalating a campaign that has been rejected by multiple federal courts and faces resistance from Republican-led states as well,” according to Democracy Docket, a group that works to protect voting rights.

Trump claimed back in late 2020, the last year of his first term, that he had the authority to issue an executive order related to mail-in voting for the 2020 elections — which he would then lose. But the Constitution states that control of elections lies with the states. As the GOP works to place hurdles in front of voting, Democrats worked to make voting easier.

In March 2021, President Biden signed an executive order calling on federal agencies to expand voting access as part of the Biden Administration’s effort “to promote and defend the right to vote for all Americans who are legally entitled to participate in elections.”

Trump’s focus is clearly on altering the November 2026 midterm elections. Trump’s polling numbers and the elections and special elections that have taken place around the U.S. over the last year clearly indicate that Republicans are about to be hit by a blue wave of Democratic victories.
