  • Study reveals how fatty liver promotes colorectal cancer spread (“Mild fatty liver”)

    05/14/2023 5:17:28 PM PDT · by ConservativeMind · 11 replies
    Investigators found that fatty liver promotes the spread of colorectal cancer to the liver. Said Ekihiro Seki, MD, Ph.D.: "Our study found that fatty liver cells secrete sacs of proteins and genetic material that promote the spread of colorectal cancer to the liver, suggesting doctors should manage colorectal cancer patients with fatty liver differently." "Our study showed that even mild fatty liver increased the risk of cancer spread," Seki said. "Thus, we are urging doctors to really pay attention to colorectal cancer patients who might have fatty liver. Among our patient samples, we noted that more than 40% of patients...

    The threat of climate change is so dire that the World Economic Forum founder Klaus Schwab is demanding that "standards of living in the west must be reduced by at least 75% if there is to be any hope of saving the planet. Every individual would have to give up personal car use, energy usage, meat-eating, and other wasteful so-called necessities. For most people, this lifestyle would mean abject poverty, misery and minimal, if any, freedoms." Of course, Schwab himself lives a life of unconstrained luxury and expects to continue to do so "because I am not like most people....

    Cargo Cult Science Richard Feynman From a Caltech commencement address given in 1974 Also in Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! During the Middle Ages there were all kinds of crazy ideas, such as that a piece of of rhinoceros horn would increase potency. Then a method was discovered for separating the ideas--which was to try one to see if it worked, and if it didn't work, to eliminate it. This method became organized, of course, into science. And it developed very well, so that we are now in the scientific age. It is such a scientific age, in fact, that...

    Recep Tayyip Erdogan has addressed his supporters from the balcony of his AK Party headquarters in Ankara, and started off by singing a love song for his supporters waiting for him. He then started his speech by saying: "Someone is in the kitchen, we are in the balcony," as a reference to his opponent Kemal Kilicdaroglu who has published videos from his modest kitchen during the election campaign. He continued: "Even though the final results are not in, we are far ahead. We still don’t know the final official results, we are still waiting for the will of the nation...

    Approximately 60 students at a Kansas City high school walked out of classes Wednesday to protest a veteran teacher who had written a op-ed criticizing school diversity policies and allegedly doesn’t use students’ “preferred” pronouns. Caedran Sullivan wrote late last month in The Lion that she could “no longer stay silent” about the Shawnee Mission School District “fostering a toxic environment” with its DEI trainings. “There is repeated white shaming and a preoccupation with white people as the ‘oppressor,’ including staff field trips with a focus on ‘systemic racism,’ Sullivan wrote. “The white saviorism and virtue-signaling at DEI meetings is...

    Parents and taxpayers need to know what’s going on in the Shawnee Mission School District (SMSD). As an English teacher employed in the SMSD for 15 years, I can no longer stay silent about the state of our schools. I will be attacked and threatened, but for the good of our district and the students with whom we are entrusted, I must speak out. This is too important. Amidst a worsening teacher shortage that saw SMSD pay $3.5 million to out-of-state agencies to recruit and retain more educators, we are losing good teachers because of an imposed divisive rhetoric that...

    A jury found that a McDonald's in Florida and its franchise owner are liable after a hot Chicken McNugget led to second-degree burns on a girl after it fell from a Happy Meal and landed on her leg. A split jury determined last Thursday that the franchise owner of the McDonald's in Tamarac was negligent and that McDonald's USA failed to warn customers about the heat risk of its food, according to the Sun Sentinel. McDonald's USA was not found to be negligent, and the jury dismissed the argument that the Chicken McNuggets were defective. Holmes said her daughter began...
