Hand of Disease and Death

The HAND of DEATH and DISEASE

Afrikan Americans are dying at a higher rate than any other ethnic group, from stress-related, 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 PTSD (Post Traumatic Slavery Disorders,) Pollution, Contamination, Poisons, and Drugs, in our air, water and food aren't enough, the normal day-in-day-out stresses from racism/ white Supremacy and disenfranchisement takes their 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. All Cancers,

2. Strokes,

3. type 2 Diabetes,

4. High-blood pressure

5. Heart attacks





The death rates of these diseases are more than Hate crimes, Black-on-Black homicide, 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, surgery, radiation, and 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. We often go to funerals for our loved ones and eat the same foods that killed their loved ones at repass.

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  by stress based eating of Cancer and disease causing diet choices, lack of exercise, dehydration, and improper rest, 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 is 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 their natural habitat. Our Nubian Pastoral 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. 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 was 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 too many processed Carbohydrates, in the form of Wheat and Corn, along with 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, flies, cockroaches, maggots, scavengers, like vultures, hawks, hyenas & reptiles, plastic, poisons, acid, dirt, feces, rotting carcasses, the molding rotten fruits and vegetables? (God made these too!) Do you know that a diseased and worm-infested pig will eat this stuff and not even get sickened by it!

REMEMBER! THE SURVIVORS OF KATRINA--- who suffered from the 5 above 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 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 cane sugar
(fructose) -corn syrup (candy, sweets,)
ALL ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS!
Adulterated Animals: Pork, Beef, Chicken and fish consumption: processed meat, (sausage, bologna, hot-dogs, canned) butter, lard, whey, oils, (also found in lotions, hair care products, makeup and other cosmetics)
Processed devitalized, starched based carbohydrate, genetically modified grains- Corn and Wheat Flour gluten products - white flour, white rice
Highly acidic and nonnutritive 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, 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 and Acrylamide-
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,

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, you can choose to 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
• Rancid and artificial Oils, are artificially filtered to remove the rancid spoiled taste. Cooking spray is made with patroleum distilliates 

• 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. nitrosamine which is a preservative is a cancer precursor

• Fluoride and Chloride and many 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- are carcinogenic.

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

*GROW YOUR OWN FOODS!

Eat a predominantly plant-based diet (Raw is best).

*Get to know your Local Urban Farmer and establish a contract for them to grow your foods

Study to learn, the bounty and varieties of Organic, Foods
Fresh Fruits and nuts- raw as possible, naturally sweet
Fresh green leafy Vegetables- raw as possible
Whole organic grains- from real grains! (not genetically modified)
Sprouted beans and seeds
Seeds and Nuts
Herbs 

Frozen foods

options

Drink lots of Clean alkaline water 

Fresh Clean Air- (even good smelling- natural things like uncut flower plants 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-HEAL A NATION!

Nuta Beqsu means (heaven gives me balance) This is an ancient KMT language that is still in practice today. Nu, Nut, & Ta are the Elemental powers of the Heavens: Nu is Moisture and Water. Nut is the Celestial Sky goddess. She represents the cosmos and the universe. The Universe is always giving birth to new solar systems and stars. Ta is the original word for land and the Queendoms of our ancient Matriarchal societies. Our land is our home, and the place for the empirical existence where we learn from our experiences. She seeks to live in balance between the planetary and heavenly existences. We are all connected to the land, trees, microcosm and macrocosm, Inner verse, and the universe. Nuta Beqsu (heaven gives me balance) will be programmed into a conscious spirit, to produce thought sequences to direct a course of action as a way to achieve success in life. Visualization is thought converted into a pleasurable visual image(s) to achieve a goal and/or purpose. We connect with Divine Power to guide and direct our pathways. As a divine name is spoken the receiver has unity of direction in life. My name reflects my Destiny. So, the sight Sounds, visions, smells, and colors associated with a divine name will give guidance in one's pathway.
