Personally I think cancer is hit or miss. Just something goes wrong. I know a nun who died from lung cancer. From a small village in Mexico and never smoked a day In her life. Not saying smoking is good for you just if you are gonna get it you’re gonna get it.
I know people who have never done anything to cause cancer who’ve had it and watch people who should’ve died young live to 90.
Hit and miss.

You are living in a fantasy world where you are erecting a series of strawmen and then playing at knocking them all down to make yourself feel good. If you ever choose to wake up, perhaps you will finally discover that you have been making a wild set of accusations contrary to what you pretend was said and done.

Oh, so what you’re really sore about is people sitting around watching Dancing with Stars! Pretty typical of health food nuts.

In actuality, because of the weather and the soil and the horrors of British oppression, the Irish actually spent a lot of time inside. I only wish they had hi-def tv to take their mind off their misery.

[[Basically that article says that cancer cells run on various carbohydrates.]]

Do they run on it (as in they can not run if they aren’t exposed to it) or do they simply have an increased ability to multiply? and if so, what %?

I’m a % guy- 1-2-3 % not a worry to me- 10-15% Starting to become a little worrying, but not enough for me to change- 20-40% Yeah- I take it seriously

I don’t need a zero % in order to feel safe- (or safer I should say) I’ve aslready lived 12 years past the average lifespan of folks decades ago- when the average age was quite young- so anything from here on out is a bonus in my book, and I’ve determined I am not going to be hard-lined reckless, but I’m also not going to give up the last pleasures I have (Sugar- Pepsi) just to gain a 1-15% or so increased change of surviving cancer- Some might disagree with me, but that’s fine- I’ve made my mind up I’m going to enjoy life a bit while I have it, and when it ends, my fault or not, I’ll have lived enjoying it a little more than I would have by giving up sugar and feeling just as crappy as I do now and having to actually live a few more years of feeling crappy with No enjoyment of sugar thrown in to boot-

bottom lien for me I guess is 1-15% or so Meh- I’ll roll the dice- 20-40% or more- I’ll give it an effort- Begrudgingly

Greatest Generation folks are in their 90’s, not eighties.

Not if you lied to get in the service :)

I think it’s more an example that sugar FEEDS cancer...I have a shirt tail relative who just died of lung cancer (quit smoking over 17 years ago). Interestingly , her oncologist, at the time of her diagnosis about 7 months ago, told her to stop eating sugar as it could lengthen her life...she chose not to.

My poor mother just died at 90 of pancreatic cancer. It infuriates me that her last few words were “How did I get this? I did everything right!” Her final thoughts were that she had eaten something that had given her a fatal disease. No matter what the kind young residents told her, she blamed herself for dying!

That’s why I hate health nuts and their running dogs.

[[If you wanna live a long, empty, and boring life,]]

Eating crap that doesn’t taste good- then do so

Had a cousin go on a tofu diet to ‘cure’ cancer- Her cancer was cured, but she had treatments at the same time- claimed the Tofu was what did it for her- She ate tofu for years after that- tofu this, tofu that-

Then she became vegetarian-

I guess she was a glutton for punishement

“And die a miserable sugarless death by the cancer anyways- no thanks”

There are hundreds of anecdotal reports accumulating where cancer patients have succeeded in reversing their cancers or eliminating their cancer. So, it appears that death by cancer is no longer a foregone conclusion in a large number of cases.

See the videos in the previous Parts for the answers to some of your questions.

For the last week I am following a regimen which has dropped my blood glucose readings by 25 points in just one week! It has also reduced my blood pressure, which means I can now stop taking HBP meds. My glucose readings were 105-110 range upon waking up in the morning. Now they are 80-85! I am sold on this method. It is based on copying eating habits of our ancestors. Our genes have a history of a million years programmed into them. American eating habits are nothing like the Paleo regimen of eating. This is not a diet. It is about when to eat food/drink with calories.

Don’t dump on my mother, please. She’s only been gone about 4 weeks. It still infuriates me how much she bought into the health craze.

Not every smoker gets lung cancer, but smokers get 5 times more lung cancer than non-smokers.

Personally I think cancer is hit or miss.

My brother-in-law is an Oncologist who has spent the last 45+ years treating cancer patients and his assessment is that it is hereditary..........

He's treated lung cancer patients who have never smoked, liver cancer patients who have never had a drop of alcohol, and the list goes on.

The bottom line is that everyone is within a "health risk" group but it's your genetics that will determine whether or not you contract cancer.........

That is really good to hear.

How long did it take for your blood sugars to drop below 100 mg/dl or 5%?

When did you reduce and/or stop your medication?
