- About Me and My Book:
- After my mastectomy for breast cancer, I could not undergo any further cancer treatment because of an unhealthy liver. I turned to organic food to heal my liver and fight cancer recurrence. After 6 months on an organic diet, my liver healed. "Organic for Health" is that story. I developed recipes rich in antioxidants and immune boosters which are included in the recipe section of the book.
My husband and I live in Englewood, Fl, where we enjoy chasing after our grandsons.

Dietary Supplements Can Cause Liver Damage
Dietary Supplements Can Cause Liver Damage
By Sandy Powers
Dietary supplements such as vitamins, minerals, and herbal products can cause liver damage. I learned this the hard way.
When I was diagnosed with breast cancer and scheduled for a mastectomy, my pre-opt tests revealed my liver enzymes were higher than normal. Liver enzymes are an indicator of the health of the liver. When the liver is healthy, the liver enzymes reside within the cells of the liver. When the liver is injured or unheal… Continue

Scribblers’ Retreat is a non-profit organization established with the goal of reaching writers of all ages; to inspire and promote their hidden gifts and talents.
By involving the local community, authors, publishers, editors, journalists and all forms of the literary world, we are opening their minds and bringing hope where there was doubt.
Scribblers’ Retreat is not the typical classroom setting. It was designed to bring world-class authors, literature professors, editors, journalists, illustrators, photo journalists, proofreaders, publishers, publicists, screenplay writers, and website/graphic designers, etc. one-on-one with young and old alike. It is the opportunity of a lifetime for someone who has had a manuscript in a desk drawer for 40 years or who has an outstanding poem that simply must be read.
Scribblers’ Retreat Writers’ Conference
Where “can’t” is not in our vocabulary.

I would love to share stories. I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 97 - sent me on a continuing quest that centers around spiritual and nutritional healing.

I am a breast cancer survivor who battled liver disease. Because of my unhealthy liver, I could not undergo any further cancer treatment. I turned to organic foods to heal my liver and fight cancer recurrence. "Organic for Health" is my story and more. It is a guide to healthy eating with recipes to begin.
Check out my website for a great recipe.

When I was a child, my mother’s instructions in cleaning vegetables were to
discard the outer leaves and wash the rest thoroughly. For vegetables that could
be scraped, such as carrots or potatoes, she said to wash them well before scraping
them. Fruit should be washed before it was cut, peeled, or eaten. My mother
was ahead of her time. Even back then, she worried about the safety of food.
Today, pesticides and fertilizers are more potent than ever. They have to be to
battle the ever-adapting bugs. My daughter’s friend discovered this while she was
working on her doctorate in entomology (insects) at the University of Florida
in Gainesville. She spent long hours in the vegetable fields, especially the celery
fields, monitoring the success of pesticides that were sprayed on the crops to combat
insects. She tried to protect herself from the danger of absorbing pesticides
into her skin by wearing gloves and boots. Since vegetables don’t wear gloves or
boots, the vegetables absorbed dangerous amounts of pesticides.
The health toll of toxic pesticides and fertilizers on people is alarming.
In Washington State, where I once lived, farmers had a high rate of cancer
that researchers believed could be traced to the lethal pesticides and fertilizers
sprayed on the crops. The June 2006 issue of Movement Disorder reported a
study conducted by the Mayo Clinic that revealed pesticide exposure increased
the incidence of Parkinson’s disease in men.
Environmental Health Perspectives reported that American toddlers eating
mostly organic foods have only one-sixth the pesticide residues in their urine of
children eating non-organic foods. Preschool children in Seattle, Washington,
were monitored to assess their exposure to pesticides in the diet. The children
who ate conventionally grown, or non-organic, foods had six times the level
of pesticides in their urine than children who ate organic foods. The eating of
organic food lowered the children’s exposure to toxic pesticides from above the
recognized safety levels to below.
Malignancies in children linked to pesticides include leukemia, non-
Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and cancers of the brain. The risk of cancer for children
is greater than the risk for adults, suggesting that children may be particularly
sensitive to the carcinogenic effects of pesticides. Doctors Philip J. Landrigan
and Herbert L. Needleman, authors of Raising Children Toxic Free, estimate
that 80 to 90 percent of childhood cancer is caused by exposure to carcinogens
in the environment. Safe levels of pesticides are usually established for adults,
not children. A child’s body is smaller, as is the liver, so the body is not as well
equipped to handle toxins in the food or in the environment.
The Environmental Protection Agency has concluded that toxic pesticide
ingestion by nursing mothers has resulted in breast-fed infants consuming unacceptable
levels of poisonous substances that can cause childhood cancers. This is
all the more reason for young women of childbearing age to eat organic.
It is never too early to begin cancer prevention for your children. Start with
organic foods. The absence of toxic pesticides and fertilizers in organic food,
along with the additional antioxidants and immune boosters present in organic
food, will enable the child’s immune system to help fight childhood cancers.
The USDA lists green peppers, celery, and green beans as highest in pesticide
absorption for vegetables. Strawberries, peaches, and apples rate the highest
in pesticide absorption for fruits by the USDA. For these foods switch to organic. Your child’s health depends on it.
A breast cancer survivor with liver problems, Sandy Powers turned to organic foods to heal her liver and fight cancer recurrence. She shares her research, her amazing results, and her recipes packed with antioxidants and immune boosters in her book, “Organic for Health.”
