Are biopsies spreading cancer?

As with mammograms, there is evidence that needle biopsies also spread the cancer. It makes sense to me. Reminds you of the 19th century doctors who refused to wash their hands between patients.

Healthful soy candles and cancer

Well, after Peter Jenning's death and Dana Reeve's announcement that she has lung cancer, I haven't heard anyone in the press talk about the dangers of paraffin candles. It will take awhile to get this info out to the mainstream. Women especially love candles and many love to take baths in candlelight. This is especially dangerous with all that smoke in such an enclosed, small room.

Soy candles are so much more healthy than petroleum based candles. It's more than a little ironic that cancer information sites are selling candles to support their activities. Even churches are realizing that the candles they burn are unhealthful.

Never had a mammogram and never will

Where I last worked one day one of my co-workers came into the office and said, "Have you gotten your mammogram ladies? Don't forget once a year you must get a mammogram." I kept quiet, because I figured she would think I was weird if I told her I've never had a mammogram and never intend to, and it's best not to get into philosophical differences at work.

The general public has been propagandized into thinking that mammograms will save them from breast cancer, when probably the opposite is true. I always had a gut feeling that there was something wrong about mammograms, and now I'm discovering that I was right. Here's what Dr. Kim has to say about mammograms.

I also think that dry cleaning probably contributes to breast cancer. A lot of rich career women get breast cancer, and you know they get all those silk blouses and smart woolen suits dry cleaned.

Then there is the bra link to cancer described in this book. This sounds quite plausible to me, because I have worn quite a few tight bras, and they could very well constrict the flow through the lymph glands right under the skin. This is one benefit of not having a job; I don't have to wear a bra all day.

More prohibition means health, not

Right on
New York Times. Have you too noticed the ramp up of news about amphetamines? How we have an epidemic of druggies again? Remember crack? Our law enforcement guys love it of course. They really get a kick out of knocking down doors, using all that swat team gear. And the public just takes it all in like a kid with a new video game.

In the 30's Americans were still smart enough to realize when a mistake had been made. They repealed prohibition, called off the super cops and gave responsibility for alcohol use back to the individual.

By the way, this is spoken by a person who grew up in the 60's and never took drugs, hardly any prescription drugs either (none in the last 30 years). My drug of choice is aspirin once or twice a month. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Peter Jennings died of lung cancer

As everyone knows Peter Jennings died of lung cancer yesterday. They say he smoked since he was 13 years old, so smoking is the designated cause of his lung cancer. I suppose this is true. However, I have known people that smoked and lived to be in their 70's and 80's. Two of the longest lived women, Hava Rexha and Jeanne Calment, were lifelong smokers.

Conversely, I know of several people who never smoked and did not live with smokers but died of lung cancer. So this is not so cut and dried as the powers that be want to make it out to be.

Clearly there are other causes. Maybe candles?

I have just learned that common paraffin wax candles are known to produce soot and other inhaleable toxins such as formaldehyde, acrolein, benzine and acetaldehyde. These toxins have been known to clog and damage the lungs, and can sometimes even lead to emphysema-not unlike the effects of nicotine smoke. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), some of the chemicals found in paraffin candles are not only toxic, but are carcinogenic and neurotoxic as well, and could cause issues with not only the lungs but also the heart, circulatory system and nervous system.

I was glad to find out that there is a healthy candle made from soy wax, a mixture of hydrogenated soybean oil. This means that they burn clean into the air and recent research has shown that the use of soy candles in the home increases the surrounding air quality by a staggering 90% as compared with traditionally produced paraffin or petrochemical based candles. They are also water soluble (easy to clean up), burn cooler and up to 50% longer.

Free online book about Alzheimers

This book is a very in-depth look at Alzheimers disease including the genetic component and concrete ideas for preventing it.

A second cousin of mine had her mother and most of her aunts and uncles succumb to Alzheimers. My mother at 91 is still pretty sharp, and I'm related to this cousin on my mother's side of the family, so hopefully I don't have the Alzheimers genes, but you can still get it even if you are not genetically pre-disposed.
