Nice article. We’ve been very blessed in America.
I sure hope we don’t blow it.
As a former cancer patient, I can most definitely say that yes, I have read the inserts on all my medications. And I was OK with it, because the alternative was much worse.
And, knowing some things about how those patient and physician inserts are developed, I'd rather have scientific data about potential risks beforehand.
Alternative medicines and therapies don't typically collect or report their risks, and even worse, they give false hope for patients.

Again, I compare the claims of the ACA or AMA to the climate claims of AlGore and the IPPC. I think we are being lied to.
Jesus only lived to be around 35. There is more to life than living longer. What is life unless you have something for which you live? I’m delighted for all the advances in medicine and other technologies, but there are far worse things than death. Living in a world that promotes homosexuality and Atheism is not what I call living.
Good for her. A survey of cancer doctors recently showed that a large proportion would decline treatment in many instances. One of the new trends in cancer research is finding ways to spur the body’s immune system to recognize and attack cancer — and that is what the Gerson diet aims to do.
My father had the same surgery. It is amazing technology.
I fear that Obozo and Democrat meddling will halt or slow more advancements. It is hard to get that across to the zombies that vote Democrat.
Your father and I were both spared the earlier procedure — in which the forehead was opened up to remove the tumor!
For us, we’re focusing on it as preventative. Especially since we are 60 and have no health insurance. If on of us gets cancer, ether something like Gerson fixes it - or we die.
I’ve said since my last child left home that if I get cancer, I will die. And that’s ok. Actually, it is a very GOOD thing. The apostle Paul called it “gain”. But it will be in a time of the Lord’s choosing, not mine.
Check out the famous bet between Julian Simon and Paul Ehrlich. Malthusianism is dead.
Someone please alert the media.
That makes a lot of sense. In a few years, you should be eligible for Medicare and ought to keep up with the usual tests and checkups.
I won’t do medicare. I turned sixty last month. I have not had a checkup since I was 44, and then only to get life insurance. By the time anyone finds cancer in me it will be because it’s taken this body over.
I’ve self diagnosed myself better than a doctor when I got gout (he thought it was a broken big toe). And it took me five minutes on the internet to find out what I had, and another five to find out that Black Cherry juice would fix it. It did.
I have little respect for the “organized” medical community. There are many people in it that definitely mean well, but then, there were many soldiers in Hitler’s army that sincerely believed God was on their side. It is a serious cash cow. It makes more money treating people than curing people, broken bones, etc. notwithstanding. I choose not to participate except for stuff that I pay for out of pocket.
And we are huge on preventative stuff. I’ve not had a big mac since 1996 and we use a masticating juicer for most of our meals (and supply it from a half acre garden). When in Seattle I rode every Seattle To Portland bike ride from 1991 to 2006, quitting only because I got bored with the ride, but I continued bike commuting until texting drivers made it too dangerous.
Now I getmy exercise trapsing around my hilly 32 acres cutting up trees, digging ditches and fence post holes and cleaning culverts on my creeks.
Life is a mist. I see it as a video game. I’m having a blast at every phase. And like a video game, it has multiple lives, at least for me. I had my “life as a minor”, followed by my life as a husband and father, followed by my “bicycling and fitness years” followed by my musician years. It is almost like re-incarnation except I remember each previous life and occupy the same body.
It’s really a LOT of fun.
In that is another facet. I went from intellectual agnostic to Christian to Christian teacher in my churches and wherever I meet people. That is the most important part of this “video game” we call life. Then it’s “game over” and I go to be with the Lord. That is when things REALLY take off. :-)
I think one of the biggest life changing events for me was getting rid of TV in 1997. It certainly freed up a lot of my time...
A few years ago, my doctor recommended against gamma knife radiation for the residue of a benign pituitary tumor that was left in my head left after surgery. I am grateful for that advice, which was not only well-supported in the medical literature, but came almost a year before major problems with the gamma knife radiation machine were revealed. Due to my doctor's advice, I was spared what could have been an excessive and unnecessary dose of gamma radiation.
