I wish to thank Ginny Black for sharing remarkable historical information about deadly toxins identified in the Byron Shire waters when her husband was alive and her current sharing that her husband died from Hodgkins lymphoma. I am so very sad for you Ginny and understand your grief.
I did recently mention the death of a young person from cancer after visiting a farm. He too died from Hodgkins lymphoma. Shortly after his death his mother, a dear friend died. I believe her death was a culmination of stress and grief over the death of her son. Whilst this was decades ago, the loss of anyone close to one resonates eternally from the soul.
Life has taught me that WE must always speak truth to power and the history of Roundup and the corporate ‘spin’ surrounding the marketing of any deadly product elicits a need to expose and campaign for better products, immediate cessation of deadly practices and social justice.
For four decades The Echo has printed the stories some people loved, some people hated, and some pretended not to read. If you want us to keep telling the truth, the real truth, not the sugar-coated version. We’ll need your support to keep the presses rolling.
