monica i know type 2 diabetes is on the rise and i know it has very clear links with lifestyle factors, but that wasn't what you said - you implied childhood cancer and diabetes was so rare as to be almost unheard of decades ago - they weren't, but they were very, very often misdiagnosed or undiagnosed.
what makes me uncomfortable i guess is that for people impacted upon by these sorts of conditions your words, to me, sound as though they lack compassion. but i know you are a very compassionate person which is why the statements above jar with me
i also believe that the increases in many illnesses, chronic conditions, suffering may also be linked to the oncoming harvest, this is THE time for learning. in my experience one of the most significant pre-incarnative choices that one can make to foster growth is the choice to suffer, to feel pain or limitation, both for our own growth and those around us. and that learning may be as simple as learning to take personal responsibility for lifestyle choices, or it may be as complex as the impact of an early death rippling across a family and a community.
talking about devastating childhood illnesses in this way is incredibly emotive, especially when one of our b4th forum members posted not so long ago about his daughter suffering from leukemia, i guess what i'm trying to say is that your passion is admirable, but please tread gently
