I had to ask...

I'm receiving another Vitamin C infusion right now. Last week while infusing, I asked my nurse about the origin of the Vitamin C. I recalled Dr.Puc saying it was from New Zealand and I expected to verify that. Instead, the nurse came back and stated it was from the U.S. I recently read that nearly all Vitamin C manufactured in the U.S. is derived from GMO corn! To me, that feels like travesty...a misdeed, something that at the very least should be optional. Who thinks the vitamins they are taking are made from GMO crops? That's the question we all might be wise to ponder. Today, I asked that the nurse find out what the Vitamin C is derived from. At this point, calls have been made and some running around is going on...all that has been confirmed is that 80% of U.S. produced Vitamin C is derived from GMO corn. My mind feels troubled...I never thought that the GMO crops have infiltered our lives to the degree they obviously have. The news took a long time to receive. The lab stated the ascorbic acid is synthetically derived without corn. I do not know from what the ascorbic acid was derived, and I see now the manner in which one asks a question matters greatly. I am willing to let this one rest. I feel more & more inclined to get my next life chapter set up to grow much of my vegetables... 

I can report that I have steadily felt improved each day. As for treatment and schedules, my forth chemo is scheduled for next Tuesday. Dear friend, Rita, is arriving Sunday and she will be helping and caring for me until Thursday morning. I feel very tired and am going to doze for the rest of my infusion.
