These effects, in combination with the side effects of the cancer treatments themselves, can result in a battle with disease that is much more difficult to win. The inundation of society with pharmaceuticals and treatments that are not a far departure from poison, often limits the options a patient feels they have available to them.

The National Day of Unplugging is the first Friday of March each year and encourages everyone, everywhere to take 24 hours to unplug. From sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday the folks behind the idea want us to unwind, relax, reflect, get outdoors, connect with loved ones and put the technology away for a day.
If the full 24 hour period is too much for you, try to unplug for a few hours at least and give yourself an opportunity to be fully present and an active participant without checking for calls or contact from others via technology. Who knows, you may want to incorporate a few hours of unplugging each week.
Why will you unplug? To connect with others or yourself? To read a book to your child? To take a hike? Meet a friend for dinner? ….
